I was immediately impressed with the selection and the size of these "sweet rolls". Shop staff were also very friendly and interactive. Our donuts were very tasty and my coffee was better than I expected. This will definitely be a return visit if or when I return.

My hubby has been trying to find a donut shop in the area that has a devil's food with peanuts to no avail. While we were having lunch, he pulled up their website and was delighted to see they do, in fact, offer one! We popped in on a Sunday around 2:00 pm, not expecting much to be left in the case, and were delighted to see a fully stocked case of donut wonders. I wish I had taken a photo, but you can check out others'. The shop is bright, welcoming, and clean. Sadly, they were out of the devil's food with peanuts, but now we know where to come for them! Our daughter got a devil's food with coconut, she got a maple old fashioned for her partner, I got a glazed chocolate with coconut, and my hubby got a devil's food with rainbow jimmies. I presume the owner helped us, based on the glowing reviews here. He was, indeed, warm and friendly. When we got our box of donuts home, I noticed he had put some complimentary donut holes inside, which was a sweet (literal and figurative) surprise. I didn't have a chance to eat my donut until this afternoon. I had put mine on a plate with some plastic wrap, and it was just as fresh and tasty as if I had just picked it up. Ironically, when we lived in the East Bay, CA, our favorite donut place for years was also called Donut King! It feels like the universe is sharing some sweet serendipity with us. THIS Donut King has it all-- fantastic customer experience and service, and a wide variety of fresh and delicious donuts. We look forward to returning!

The repainted teal outside helped to locate this mom and pop donut shop driving on busy TV Highway. Open parking spots in front of the shop but getting out can be a little tricky.

Get the 1/2 or fill dozen mixed to try everything but definitely don't skip the fritters!

We walked over after exploring the park and grabbed a raspberry rosemary old fashioned donut and apple cobbler donut with a cold brew to wash it down. Loved the tart raspberry icing and the texture of the old fashioned donut was great! It was definitely on the sweeter side especially since it seems like they soak it in a sugar syrup but a nice treat nevertheless. The apple cobbler donut tasted just like an apple pie with a yummy apple compote inside. Definitely still my favorite donuts spot in Portland!

Came to Blue Star Donuts' flagship shop without realizing! We came twice: once after finishing up…read moreat nearby Washington Park, and one more time the morning we left PDX. Hubs & I didn't realize they also have a location at PDX Airport (lol). I really wish I'd known of Blue Star Donuts prior because apparently they used to have locations in SoCal =') Our first visit was late afternoon and we happened to snag the second-to-last donut of the day (because everything else was sold out already): the Buttermilk Old-Fashioned. Honestly, hubs & I weren't thinking much of this because we don't usually care for old-fashioned...but my goodness, it was DELICIOUS! Hands down, the best old-fashioned donut I've ever had in my life! It was so good that it was part of the reason I came back to buy more before we left Portland! Second time, we got a few to bring home: -Buttermilk Old-Fashioned, again, the best old-fashioned donut ever! I'm so sad just thinking about how we don't have anything like this closer to home... -Lemon Poppy Seed Old Fashioned, was pretty sweet and though the texture was the same as above and still good, I still think the buttermilk was the best. -The O.G. (Orxata Glaze), the sign said horchata and I was immediately excited. This is the classic "O" donut, and the texture was different from the old-fashioned. I thought it was okay....my favorite still being the buttermilk old fashioned. Restrooms available are clean. They also have a parking lot behind the store, though the street to enter has construction/road closure one way, so you may have to circled around.

I really like the ham and gruyere croissant, though the croissant doesn't quite have the honeycomb structure inside, even on the plain ones. They're a little drier than I prefer, but still tasty. The donuts are also always food, and I love the variety of fillings including red bean paste. It's mostly self serve though the cashiers are friendly and helpful if you have questions.

The service and…read morefood is always consistently good, and I'm a huge fan of the Veggie Grinder, which allows me to trick myself into thinking I'm eating healthy (cuz, veggies!). This sandwich has Gouda cheese, baby peppers, sweet onion, lettuce and a house bean spread, all on their bakery fresh bread. It has just the right level of zip to light up those taste buds. Paired with a nice cup of java, and I'm a happy camper there. Just the smell of freshly baked/baking bread alone is a nice wakeup. I've had other breakfast sandwich options there as well, and all have been great for me (tastewise!). My only complaint is the location/parking, which can be a little snarly. Absent that, we love this place. Writing this review makes we want to head down there right now!

I also like the Blueberry Muffin (4 stars), Chocolate Croissant (4 stars), and Blueberry Scone (4 stars). I once tried the Sausage Egg Biscuit (3 stars). It was good, but I don't think I would order it again. I prefer the bakery items, and it's why we return. I like the variety of options with 4 star service.
