    OK, I have to talk about this wonderful donut place. I have a very high bar for donuts. Shout out to El Reno donuts in El Reno, Oklahoma! However, this little donut place is top of the list. The glazed donuts are the best and they're so soft the rest of their donuts looked great. He was literally cooking them when we walked in at about 11 o'clock one day. He remembers you. He's super friendly. This is definitely our donut place from this point forward and I don't care that. It's on the other side of Portland. It will be the only place I get donuts now so so good great job guy.

    Donut Palace is Hands Down the BEST place in Portland Are to get donuts. Great prices, great selection and Wonderful Customer Service. When I go here it feels like Family. If you are in the area, definitely stop by.

    One glazed raised donut and an old-fashioned donut.

    In my quest to find the perfect glazed and old fashion donuts, I visited Donut Palace located right off the 185th Avenue exit on the 26 West. I had been by on several different afternoons and they were closed. This Friday late morning they were open. I ordered an apple fritter and a glazed donut and an old fashion donut and was quickly on my way home. The two gentlemen who ran the place were quite nice. Inside was neat and clean with a collage of many photos on the wall to the left. Great ambiance, good vibes. But what about those donuts you ask? The apple fritter was more soft than you typically see and mildly sweet although the apple flavor was quite strong. Still, the softness was a bit off putting. Later that day I ate the glazed and old fashion donuts. The glazed the donut was puffy with the right amount of glaze; it appeared to be perfect. Surprisingly, it was not. It actually was a bit dry and slightly hard. The old fashion donut was spot on, having the right consistency of hard-ish on the outside, and moist and flavorful on the inside. Loved that one. Overall, I would recommend that you try this place to satisfy your donut fix. The donuts aren't spectacular, but they are good enough. The guys that work there are quite pleasant and in tune to great customer service. My guess is that their early morning batches are probably the best ones so get there early; do not get there close to lunch time like I did!

    Friendliest business I've ever encountered! Your kids are sure to leave happier than ever. It's like walking into donutland. There's seats out front, so you can dine in and look at all the kids cute drawings around. Donuts are amazing and lattes are delicious. Even their Vegan Saturday donuts have so many options and you can't even tell they're vegan. I especially love and recommend the apple fritter, boos al wawa strawberry cheesecake heart (only Saturday and Wednesday), old fashioned, and vanilla crumb. For drinks, you can't go wrong with a reg milk hazelnut latte, hot chocolate, or their drip coffee.

    Hands down the best service we have received at a donut shop! The gentleman were kind, informative, genuinely friendly, and happy to help! The environment was welcoming, and clean, with enough space to feel comfortable. The donuts themselves were amazing, light, and fluffy, not to sweet or lacking flavor. We will definitely be returning! Love, The Donut Girls!

My first visit was on my birthday, so I got a free dozen doughnuts - such an amazing deal! The doughnuts are the perfect bite size, making it easy to sample a variety of flavors.

They rotate flavors often, but Raw Honey & Sea Salt and Cinnamon Sugar are always available. The chai flavors are also excellent, especially the King & I, inspired by Thai pandan tea. It's warm, lightly spiced, and packed with flavor. Consistently delicious, fun seasonal flavors, and always worth the stop. One of my favorite donut shops, hands down.

While I do gravitate towards the donuts first, I know they are also famous for their chai. So if you are a chai fan don't skip that option here. I just had a chance to interact with their mobile food truck at an event, which was such a fun aspect to the overall event. I got a quad of donuts and a chocolatey chai! Also I will say this: Pip's offers a free birthday dozen, which is incredibly generous gift. My birthday falls around the holidays so I usually can't make it in, but I want to be clear that I have absolutely zero complaints about that. Adults, especially, should never grumble about not receiving a generous freebie. The fact that they offer it at all speaks volumes about the kind of business they are!

They are brioche-based donut with a thick, heavy dough instead of being airy and fluffy. Well, they are unique, but they are definitely not my favorite and they are quite expensive. They're known for creative flavors, but creative does not mean it tastes good. The famous Blueberry Bourbon Basil donut was so doughy and cakey (hard type), blueberry jam was too sweet and completely overpowered the subtle taste of bourbon and basil. The apple fritter was the same, just sweet, doughy, and nothing special. We also tried the Cointreau Crème Brûlée, it is a custard donut comes with an orange liqueur pipette. Because the blueberry donut completely lack of bourbon taste, we actually used that pipette to squeeze the liqueur into the blueberry donut. We had the coffee, they're just average, nothing special. Definitely a wrong choice I made.

Walking in less than an hour before closing, we were surprised to see most of the items still in stock! We ended up picking four things to try: Vanilla Bean Kouign Amann ($7) - This pasty has a sweet yet salty exterior that's complementary in flavor rather than clashing. It's accentuated with a crunchy glazed and caramelized sugar layer that's on the sweeter side. The interior is interesting. There's a cavernous gap right in the center that's filled with a sickly sweet melted sugar syrup. It's unpleasantly sweet and very cloying. The puffed and filled area is large enough that it compresses the other layers so the kouign amann is dense. I've never had a kouign amann quite this sweet before. (3/5) Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Thyme ($5.50) - This cake is so moist and rich, thick and dense, fatty and rich, that it feels like I"m eating a slab of butter. I'm sure it has just as many calories too! It's quite sweet, although not nearly to the level of the kouign amann. Overall, it's just a really rich and decadent cake. (4/5) Blueberry + Vanilla Cream Brioche Donut w/ Earl Grey ($6) - The top of the pastry is dressed with a cream that has an unmistakably strong bergomot earl grey taste. I wish there was way more cream - there's essentially only a dab on top! The rest of the donut is filled with a custardy light blueberry and vanilla jam. It's not too sweet and has an excellent high quality blueberry fragrance, creating an exceptionally strong blueberry taste. The jam is not too thick and is somewhat syrupy from sugar. The donut itself is really soft and extremely airy. It's the fluffiest donut I've eaten in a long time. (5/5) Raspberry Rose Cruffin ($8.50) - This pastry has some fun dehydrated raspberries sprinkled right on top of a light and fluffy cream that's not too sweet. The cruffin base is buttery in taste and great lamination even when filled with the custard and rose/raspberry cream. This is a heavy cruffin that's very filling. (5/5) Twisted Croissant certainly does some some really delectable treats. It's one of my favorite bakeries in Portland!

My mouth is watering describing this now, a true sign I'll be returning to experience this delicacy time and time again. There are three locations of Twisted Croissant in Portland, and this is the only one I've visited. The interior has a classic Parisian bakery vibe, clad in white subway tile from floor to ceiling. The bakery case in front of the store is beautifully stocked with fresh pastries, perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea. However, be advised, there are only two tables in the back of their public space, so it's not particularly inviting space to sit and enjoy your breakfast. Given the location, I assume there is outdoor seating in the summer months, but don't quote me on that. Regardless, run here if you haven't been. These baked goods are worth the visit!
