Expert Reviews of Top Pot Doughnuts

Citysearch | Hot java and some of the best donuts around in a stylish spot on Summit.

Great Coffee & Doughnuts, HORRIBLE Service!!!

Top Pot on Summit has some of the best coffee & doughnuts I've ever had, but the women that work in this location are by far rudest Barista's I've ever come across.

Donuts are great - has wireless internet

This is a great place for a bowl of soup, doughnuts to die for, AND wireless internet.Lots of places to sit, and tables upstairs and down with plenty of places to plug in a laptop.Nice place to talk or work online.Be careful not to set the doughnuts down on paperwork - the grease has been known to soak through many layers of documents!However, the donuts are delicious fresh!

delicious but heavy

Have eaten these for a couple of years now. Love them but will issue a word of caution, these are heavy, heavy donuts. If you put one on a stack of napkins for any period of time, the grease will work its way through the entire stack.
