Great classic donut shop. Have been looking for a shop that wasn't Legendary and opened earlier than Top Pot in the Federal Way area. While not immediately in FW it was only a 15 min drive and well worth it. Classic donuts ready at 5am. All the donuts were good and just as I envisioned. Large parking lot and a decent size interior if you want to eat there. They also have a drive thru.

I've been coming here periodically for 8-years! The best donuts in the area... Fluffy, fresh, tasty, sweet-but not excessively sugary! Delicious donut shop and one of my favorite weekend breakfast stops when I travel.

Growing up, some of the people on my swim team talked about Dockside Donuts and its coconut angel bars during swim team practice. They could not decide to whether to go or not because they had heard it was in a neighborhood like something out of the movie "8 Mile". It was not like that when I visited yesterday, Wednesday 24 November 2022. Yes, it is in an industrial part of Tacoma near the water, with trains and cop cars running past, fence topped with barbed wire lining the parking lot, and the occasional homeless person walking past, but... that does not make Tacoma like Detroit. I pulled up around 2 p.m. and went through the drive-thru, it looked like the main eating area was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the lady at the window was friendly and helpful in placing and filling my order. I ordered one maple and one chocolate angel bar. I am not a big fan of coconut, so when I learned they only had two types of angel bars left, I was like, perfect! One of each! An angel bar donut is a bar donut with something like whipped cream filling a donut sliced lengthwise. I do not eat whipped cream very often, but I remember it being thicker, so the filling might not be whipped cream exactly. It was light, fluffy, creamy, and not too heavy or rich. The donuts were airy and not too greasy. And the frosting was a light coating, making it possible to taste all of the components of the donut at once. Absolutely amazing, ate both donuts in one go and they tasted just as good when I finished eating them as when I started.
