Chef Renee Erickson continues to expand her high-end doughnut and coffee shop, General Porpoise. The newest location opened late March in Seattle's Pioneer Square.
The sugar-coated doughnuts are made from scratch each day and then filled with seasonal jams, creams and custards. Popular flavors include vanilla custard, lemon curd and chocolate marshmallow.
At nearly $4.00 each, the doughnuts are pricey, but that doesn't seem to scare off customers. The pillowy confections often sell out. In addition to doughnuts, General Porpoise serves a rotating selection of coffees.
The original General Porpoise is located in Capitol Hill. There are plans to open in the Laurelhurst neighborhood in late Spring.
General Porpoise, 401 1st Ave. S. Seattle, WA 98104
