Cult-favorite Voodoo Doughnut to open first Seattle shop
SEATTLE - The wait is finally over for Seattle doughnut lovers as Voodoo Doughnut, the cult-favorite brand known for its wild flavors and eccentric vibe, announced the grand opening of its first Seattle location on Capitol Hill.
Doors will open at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 1201 Pine St., and the first 50 people in line will receive an exclusive gift.
Famous for its creative and over-the-top doughnuts, like the raspberry-filled Voodoo Doll and the Old Dirty Bastard — topped with chocolate frosting, chocolate cream-filled cookies, and peanut butter drizzle — Voodoo Doughnut has built a loyal fanbase across the country. And its signature pink boxes, quirky atmosphere and bold approach to the art of doughnuts have earned it cult status among food enthusiasts.
"We can’t wait to introduce Seattle to our handcrafted, one-of-a-kind doughnuts," Voodoo Doughnut announced on Instagram.
The new Capitol Hill shop will join a thriving local doughnut scene that includes Mighty-O Donuts and Top Pot, but with its signature flair and flavors, Voodoo Doughnut is sure to stand out.
