There was just the two of us and we got 12 donuts. Enough for both to enjoy as they are sized big enough for two bites. The chai was really good as well but I would come here again for the donuts.

The vibes inside were cozy and spot on and there were lots of people despite it being near closing time. You can choose from a list of donuts which you'd like, but since it was my first time I got one of each type: cinnamon sugar, raw honey and sea salt, brownie batter, bacon maple jam, coconut cream, and mango jam. The cinnamon sugar was my favorite but I'm also a simple gal when it comes to donuts. The donuts are mini and freshly cooked, so we went through these 6 super quickly. For the chai, you can also pick among an assortment but I decided to get the ginger rogers which definitely has a strong ginger kick. If you like ginger, I'd recommend giving it a try. I also made it dirty which cured my coffee withdrawal headache!

My favorite donut of the three was the chocolate banana donut. The other two were flavors that don't exactly align with my palette, however, I do think the flavors were on point and exactly as marketed/named! I would definitely go back next time in Portland and in need of a donut fix. There was also plenty of street parking available, which made visiting this donut shop straightforward and easy.

I had to make a stop at the famous donut shop in downtown Portland. What a fun place to visit but…read moreyou will have to be let in if you stop at 6a. Not sure if that's the practice all day long or just in the morning when only one clerk on duty. The homeless still wander the streets but I'm told it's much better. I know security is positioned at nearly every corner in downtown Portland. I felt perfectly safe not that all homeless are dangerous! The place is really cool on the inside with a sample of every donut on display. Yes in that one photo, they have a donut on the ceiling! Ordering was a snap but deciding was another story. Many looked good but I was on a mission. Maple bars and apple fritters. I have had some real good ones so those are my standard. But how could you pass by a donut called "dirty old bastard"? Well I will start with the bad. The apple fritters have plenty of flavor and size but lacked apple chunks of any quality. 3 at best! Maple bar with bacon. Nearly a 4 but the glazing was way too sweet for a maple bar. Bloedows in Winona,MN, you still are the best followed by Randy's in LA. However, that dirty bastard withe the mix of chocolate, peanut butter and Oreo cookies raised the bar. No pun intended. So why a 4. The place was fun, service great and the originality of the donuts raised the score. A must stop in Portland.

What makes them great is that the dough is so soft and chewy and the frosting is not too sweet.

They also have ice cream but didn't have a chance to try it yet From 12-3 they have happy hour: get a small hot coffee and a classic donut for $5!

Looove that this shop doesn't skimp out on flavor! I inhaled the Portland Fog donut so fast, a vanilla bean stuffed donut topped with an earl grey glaze and a generous cloud of whipped cream.

This location is easy to miss if you aren't looking for the signs, but inside space was bright with sun pouring in through the windows. The blue skies visible from inside were so welcoming. The plants were welcoming and thriving. Blue Star was closing in 15 minutes so we sped over and luckily that half a dozen donuts still remained. Coming from the East Coast, my niece had never tasted Blue Star. She decided on the OG. I choose between the Blueberry Bourbon and the Raspberry Rosemary Old-fashioned. A difficult choice. The Blueberry Bourbon was tart and sweet in a fragrant and delicious way. It was gone in two minutes. Lee was amazing. Incredibly helpful as we debated which donuts we should take. He was patient and understanding and sympathetic and honest and in the end he represented the best kind of Customer Service: the kind that makes you want to come back.

My friend and I tried the lemon poppy and the apple fritter. Both were tasty, but too sweet for my taste. But they were cooked super well. If you love donuts, you will definitely appreciate their unique flavors. I know their old fashioned chocolate donut and their fruity flavors are pretty popular. If you have a big sweet tooth, this should be on your list.

Crispy, airy, buttery and oh, so delicate, my raspberry cruffin was the dessert dreams are made of! If you've never had a cruffin... what are you waiting for?! It's croissant dough baked into a muffin shape. And the particular version I ordered today was filled with sweet and creamy vanilla custard and raspberry jelly. 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!

All of them have unique color, toppings and look. Such exciting collection for donut lovers. The store itself is huge, with pink themed surroundings. The rotating displays are by tue register. There are several merchandise displays spread around the store. They also sell some beverages like coffee, tea, can and bottled drinks. There was no place to eat inside the store, but outside they had few benches. We ordered three donuts to go. The friendly staff member packed out donuts on the spot in a beautiful pink box. I liked the taste of the Portland Cream. It was soft and filled with lots of cream. My daughter loved the Marshall Mathers cause it had tons of M&Ms on top. Highly recommend their donuts to anyone visiting Portland.

The shop itself has a chaotic, quirky energy that fits Portland perfectly colorful boxes, unique donut names, loud music, and people excitedly trying to decide what to order. The selection is definitely what makes this place stand out. So many creative flavors and over the top toppings that it almost feels more like a dessert shop than a traditional donut spot. Some donuts were surprisingly good, while others felt more fun and novelty-based than something I'd crave regularly. Portions are huge and very sweet, so sharing a few different flavors is probably the move. What I appreciated most was the overall experience and atmosphere. Staff moved quickly despite the constant crowd, and even with the long line, things flowed pretty efficiently. It's very touristy, but in a fun way that still feels worth checking out at least once. My daughter especially loved picking out the colorful donuts, and honestly seeing her excitement probably made the visit even better. Definitely one of those places where half the fun is just looking at all the crazy creations before ordering. Would I say these are the absolute best donuts I've ever had? Probably not. But as an overall Portland experience, Voodoo definitely lives up to the hype in its own unique way.

I finally had a chance to try Blue Star at PDX before my flight back to CA. The employee who was working at the register was very nice and knowledgeable about the different flavors. At her recommendation, I got the crème brûlée donut. It cost $6, which is $1.50 more than the Hide & Go Peep donut I got the evening before at Voodoo Doughnuts in SW Portland. Can't say I was *too* surprised because airport food is expensive, lol. I liked the cream filling but the donut had a weird aftertaste. When I arrived around 4 pm, they only had about 6-7 flavors. The employee said they normally sell 13-14 flavors every day, The verdict: 1) am I glad I tried it? Yes 2) would I rush back to try them? That depends I don't think I'd purchase them at the airport but maybe I'd try a different flavor at one of their non-airport locations.

Definitely have been in many of arguments with who's better. But I will say to me it's not necessarily even about the product.

The server told me that they are most famous for the raspberry cheesecake (or raspberry cream?, I forgot the name). It was basically a jelly-filled donut with something like frosting on top.

The Sid's Special was like a blueberry-filled donut, which didn't taste as good as the raspberry one. The Portland Cream was a cream-filled donut, similar to the Boston Cream.
