    Once again , Eighty 8 Donuts in Portland is a must. Their donuts are insanely fresh -- like you can actually taste how just-made they are. Soft, perfect texture, not stale for a second, and every flavor I've tried has been straight up delicious. Some of the people who work there could be a tad more polite but overall they are nice. The donuts are so good that they could call me names and I'd still come back! kidding but for real these are GAME CHANGING DONUTS!!! Also, huge bonus: they serve solid coffee from Tandem, so you're not stuck with mediocre coffee to go with a great donut. Everything I've had from here hits -- donuts, coffee, the whole vibe. If you're in Portland, this spot is 100% worth it.

    Stopped by Eighty 8 Donuts and treated myself to The Homer and a coffee. Wow--these donuts are something else! They were perfectly fluffy, soft, and light, and honestly, almost too pretty to eat. I found myself just staring at it for a second, like, "Do I dare?" But once I took that first bite, it was pure bliss--the sweetness balanced perfectly, and the texture was spot-on. The coffee paired beautifully and rounded out the experience. The staff was friendly, the shop has a nice vibe, and everything just felt like a little treat for the soul. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to again and again!

    Super cute place and amazing donuts. These are beautiful small donuts that are almost too cute to eat! Lol ok no way to not eat. They come out warm and ready to pop into your mouth. My only negative is the pice is a little steep. Service was good and place was clean. The aroma intoxicating- in a good way.

    these donuts are seriously the best donuts I've ever had in my life. I usually get them at the Friberg fair with my family and we all pick a few flavors to share. They are just so delicious and warm and made right on the spot. I haven't been to the Portland location, but I would assume they are just as good there as well. I would recommend this place fair fast and friendly.

    Service was friendly,the donut shop was cool and had an upstairs and outside dining area. We loved that the donuts were freshly made to order. Only downside to this experience was the prices were too high for tiny donuts. They were the size of hostess mini donuts. $1.40 per mini hostess size donuts. Its a one time experience for us. The definitely taste better than the holy donut. Thats a whole other review. From 1 to 10 overall score 7. Would have scored higher but the price point is just crazy for tiny donuts.3 stars best we could give.

    Small, fresh donuts. Served warm and fully covered in their respective toppings. Slightly disappointed you have to buy 6 of one flavor but it's their way of serving them fresh. Of course we went for Maine Maple... DELICIOUS! Great size, super warm, not terribly priced. Why not 5 stars? I only got to try one flavor and so much of the topping wears off the donut because it is so warm. Very messy.

    This place is so unique. I have never had such fancy mini donuts. I didn't know anything about this place and did not expect the mini donuts so it was a really fun surprise. They are all made to order so it takes a little bit but it's worth it. The boxes and the shop are also super cute, very instagramable. We got the Boston cream and fruity pebble donuts. Although the fruity pebbles were my pick I liked the Boston cream better. My only complaint is maybe a little too sweet, like the ratio of donut to topping could be dialed back a little.

    Expensive but adorably packaged and guaranteed hot. Best mini donuts I've ever had Esp for touring Portland Downtown: highly recommend eating at Highroller lobster but lunch and walk around the corner to eat these donuts!

    Danyika S.

    This donut place was just around the corner from Highroller. After having lobster rolls for lunch, I wanted something sweet. Portland has an amazing donut scene that includes Eighty 8. We got the Lemon Zinger and Cookies and Cream specialty bites. They were all freshly made and we only had to wait a few minutes. The donuts are so pillowy soft and practically melts in your mouth. They were so good that my sister and I had to pick up another box on our way out of Portland.

    I thought their Doughnuts are delicious! I had Boston Cream and lemon zinger and both were fresh and delicious!! Their doughnuts are bite sized and smaller than typical doughnuts. They don't have a large variety of flavors to choose from but their choices were sufficient. I got there 20 minutes before closing and they didn't have any more regular brew coffee left which was disappointing. The service was friendly and helpful. The location was clean and well lit. I definitely recommend checking this place out. It's unique and delicious!!

    What started as a food truck has now become their second physical location with the first cafe being at Sugarloaf. I have wanted to get my hands on these donuts ever since I first saw they were a thing. It never came to be as I was a little too far out from Portland to ever see their food truck. Then a couple years went by and I had mostly forgotten about my goal of trying these tiny donuts. Until a stroll through Portland to try a different breakfast oriented place and I knew I needed to stop in. Well I'm glad I randomly walked by this cafe and even happier I got two different flavors. I would recommend either one and likely any of the others as well (even without trying them). I think I'd give a slight edge to the cookies n cream aka Oreo donuts. If you have tried the food truck you know what to expect. If you haven't heard of the food truck it doesn't matter make your way here. If you're like me and wanted to try the food truck and never got a chance to, then don't sweat it, you got a permanent location you know you can snag this donuts at. The donuts may be small but the flavor is anything but that; big and bold sweetness.

They advertise themselves as all day cafe/bar and market. The vibes were perfect with an overall cozy and welcoming feel. It seemed like a spot many regulars come to often as the workers appeared to know many people who came through! They have a bar with roughly 8 seats, along with some tables. With the back of the store having goodies to buy including candles, self-care items, wines, drinks, and more. Worth browsing before or after your drinks and food. We snagged two bar stools and were immediately greeted and served water along with a menu. All three staff members were friendly and made us feel welcome. Drink wise my wife got an iced mocha while I saw their drink special of the month on social media and had to try it. Named The Blue Rose with Butterfly pea flower, cardamom rose, whole milk, pebble ice and espresso on top. A photo-worthy beverage with a delicious flavor. I would keep coming back for this drink for sure if it were a permanent menu item! Food wise my wife and I both got a breakfast sandwich, only difference she got bacon while I got the impossible sausage. Well made and delicious sandwiches that would make us return as well. I do wish they would have been a little bigger though. If our visit today was any indication of the typical my wife and I would gladly return! Friendly service in a great setting with well made food and drinks. Need to return to give their cocktails a try! A standout space in Portland.

Today, I decided to treat my son to an evening out in Portland, and we swung into Uncharted for a quick tea. He got a small regular brown sugar milk tea and I got a large Kraken.

I also love how many books and games they have available, it feels like a cozy little hangout spot you could easily lose track of time in. I got the Leviathan, which is nitro coffee, taro, oat milk, simple syrup, and boba. I'm picky with boba, and let me just say... I was actually impressed. The texture and flavor were on point. There were so many other drinks I wanted to try, so I'll definitely be back.

They have a lot of breakfast sandwiches made on their homemade English Muffins. When I went to order I asked what's the favorite/best sellers and we told the Yinzer. I also figured I'd get another sandwich too so I went with the Pastrami on Rye. Unfortunately they did not have any Pastrami available so I will say I panicked a little and ordered the BLT. I took a bit to get our food but they were busy so I et that. Once home I got into the Yinzer first. Let me tell you this thing was saucy but I like it that way. I will say I was a big fan of the English Muffin, probably on of the best I have had. I also had plenty of Chipped Ham which was rather tasty. Now the BLT I wasn't the biggest fan of. I guess I'm just not a big fan of a breakfast sandwich with veggies on it. Just didn't work for me. Would for sure come back if I was in town again because they have a lot of tasty sounding sandwiches.

After having some of the bread prior to our meals at a few restaurants, we found out the bread is locally sourced at a sister business right around the corner from where ate the night before. There is parking avail for customers in the lot for 30 mins, we prob waited about 20 mins and crossed the threshold into baked goods heaven. There was so much to select from - we got pastries, cookies, pizza and bread - and we pretty much liked everything. Our least favorite was the morning bun with walnuts - we didn't have it right away so that might've been part of the issue. Just note that the bread served at the restaurants aren't available until 2pm - we were leaving that morning so we weren't going wait for it. We opted for other loaves instead and they didn't disappoint. If you want something yummy and fresh - make sure to stop by here before heading out of Portland. I do wish the setup was a bit more conducive to the big crowds as there isn't much space from the front door to the counter but still a fantastic find!
