History
Donut Factory originally opened in Lynnwood. Marvin Crespo, Bryan Phaysith, and Marc Sapatin are co-owners. The business has been noted as Asian-owned, and carries an ube-glazed variety to commemorate Crespo's Filipino heritage. Donut Factory acquired a contract to serve the University of Washington Medical Center. Approximately 1,500 doughnuts were made daily at the Lynnwood shop as of 2021.
Approximately five years later after the Lynnwood shop opened, an outpost began operating at the intersection of Roosevelt Way and Northeast 45th Street in the University District in May 2021, in a space that previously housed Ly's Donuts. The outpost's seating capacity is 15 to 20 people. In 2023, the shop offered specials during the Cherry Blossom Festival on the campus of the University of Washington, and served blueberry and pumpkin doughnut varieties for the 'U District $4 Food Walk'. Donut Factory served cherry glazed ring doughnuts at the Cherry Blossom Festival in 2024.
Reception
Donut Factory was the social media poll winner in Seattle Magazine's 2018 "smackdown" and overview of the city's best doughnuts. Alyssa Therrien included the business in the Daily Hive's 2021 list of nine "must-try" doughnut shops in Seattle. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has called the doughnuts "nod-worthy".
