Lone Star Donuts Rises as Seattle's Donut Destination

In the past three years, a new donut shop has risen to the top in the Seattle area. Lone Star Donuts, a family-run business that first opened its doors in the suburb of Silverdale in 2022, has quickly become a local favorite, winning the title of best bakery in southern, central, and northern Kitsap County.

The shop, owned by Omar Santigo Gomez, specializes in "Texas-style" donuts, which are larger than the average donut. But Lone Star's menu goes beyond just classic donuts, also offering a selection of savory kolaches - a pastry that originated in the Czech Republic but has become particularly popular in Texas. Customers can choose from fillings like sausage and cheese, or a spicy version with jalapeños.

Beyond the Texas-inspired offerings, Lone Star also serves a wide variety of classic filled donuts, from Boston cream to berry flavors, as well as iced donuts in both traditional and unique flavors like blueberry-lavender.
