Legendary Doughnuts

My husbands go to place when he wants to treat the guys at work. The lengths a man will go for a good donut.

The doughnuts were fantastic! There was a mix up with the doughnuts, and one was missing from the box - went back and they were so nice. They apologized and made it right. Definitely will be back!

Their doughnuts are the best

When I first moved to Tacoma I actually went around and tried most of the doughnut shops in the area and today was visit 4 (which is three too many) for Legendary and it really lands firmly in the ok but not good or great category. Certainly not Legendary. It goes for the BIG impression while failing to make a noteworthy base product. There's nothing wrong with their dough but when you go for oversized the bite to fluff ratio is wrong. There also becomes a doughnut to frosting ratio problem that I don't think can be solved. Their solution is excessive doughnuts need excessive frosting and toppings but the result is an overwhelming amount of goop on an overwhelming piece of fried bread. This creates an unpleasant texture They also have the sweetest doughnuts of potentially any shop I visited to the point of being sickeningly sweet. Their vanilla frosting tasted like sugar and had no vanilla character to it. Vanilla is a delicate aromatic and I don't know if they are adding it too soon and cook it out or the sweetness of the frosting just drowns it out. I also ordered a mocha from them and I'm not getting any chocolate in it, just low quality coffee. They also didn't actually steam the milk, they just dropped the wand in so no air was actually added so the mouthfeel wasn't there. The shop has been empty all four times I've been in and the staff are ok but not that friendly. The space is an old craftsman style house that feels uncared for and comes off as cold and unwelcoming. Some updating, both inside and out might actually help with business.

The manager Nicole is always a great help when I come in she is very helpful and friendly great customer service
