This is my "go to", favorite donut place. It's mostly traditional, however they do have special flavors , like guava jelly, and such. The location in Raleigh Hills is open 24/7. read more

I called Friday afternoon to pre order custom donuts for flag football snack duty! First I mast say the customer service is excellent, when I asked for a Sunday pick up there was no hesitation even though it was the day off of the woman who does all of the decorating. I ordered 18 pikaxhu Pokémon donuts. I wish I would've gotten a pic but I got so busy I forgot. Was worried I ordered too many but as I pulled them out for the kids the adults were excited by the Sesame box! As I looked around all I saw was a group of people standing in the rain getting soaked speaking about how amazing these donuts were! I was able to save one for myself and it was amazing. The price was affordable, the service was great and the taste was amazing. I plan on ordering more for an upcoming birthday party! read more

Update: Stopped to get a Boston Cream for my wife and decided to try a bear claw. Lots of dough with little apple filling. Dough was on the chewy side. I won't be buying another bear claw here. OK, I'll admit it I'm a sucker for a good donut so I stopped by Saturday to grab a donut before meeting friends for breakfast and again today before lunch to try another pastry. I've had a donut, a chocolate bar, basically a chocolate maple bar, and tastes of two custard filled things that I can't remember the name of. My assessment, their donuts are better than any grocery store donuts but not as good as Donut Day at 184th & T.V. Hwy about two miles south. The donut was good, crisp crust and not oily like they can be if fried in cold oil. It was good. I'd buy them again. The chocolate bar was a bust. The dough had a slightly burnt flavor, obviously left in the fryer too long or at too high a temperature. The chocolate frosting was dry and not very thick. I've had better chocolate bars at a number of places. I'm not big custard filled anything so my evaluation of their custard filled treats may be a little suspect. My wife and her friend liked the custard filled things and I thought they were ok so I'd say they were at least average. One other thing, my wife brought me home a dozen powdered donut holes from Sesame and I didn't think they were very good. I wasn't sure why until I was writing this review and it occurred to me that they use the same dough for their donut holes as they do for their glazed raised donuts. They weren't bad but I like my powdered donut holes made from regular donuts dough. So it's a style issue for me. Overall, Sesame is OK if you don't have time to go to Donut Day. One last caveat, this review was written on the second day that this branch of Sesame Donuts was open so they may still be sorting things out. But Sesame has been open at other locations for years so opening another one shouldn't be too difficult. read more

Sesame Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Aloha, Oregon

Love sesame donuts never had a bad experience. It is our go to for donuts in Beaverton Aloha area.

Y'all. These donuts are so good. I got two of most things for a dozen and I'm honestly the most impressed (so far) with the Old Fashioned. Most places can really mess this simple classic up but Sesame Donuts NAILED IT! Paired with my iced coffee from home, I am having a terrific morning despite the current state of affairs :) thanks Sesame Donuts for making me smile! read more

What a sweet surprise, fresh and lots of verities of Donuts. Super friendly service, girl speak multi languages, very smart and talented. Every thing adds up, what a great way to start the day. read more

I love all their locations! Yummy donuts way better than stale voodoo. I sadly moved but just know I miss your donuts.

Lucy was SO rude! It was a little busy while I was in ordering and asked for a box of donuts, never said an actual number. I ended up ordering 6 and she looked at me like I was crazy because I didn't order a whole dozen. She was difficult to order from and when it came time to cash out she was aggressive with handling my card and giving me my receipt. The donuts themselves are okay but Lucy was a frigid and unpleasant person to have to deal with. I wasn't even rude, maybe a little timid and I tried to give her my order patiently as not to bombard her. You'd think working around donuts would give her a sweeter disposition. read more

The powdered donut I got was hard and stale :( but the rest of the donuts that we got were OK, the blueberry fritter was over fried but the apple fritter was very good, my sister loved the Oreo filled powdered donut and we also got a minion donut that was eaten by my neice in less then a min so she loved it! The prices of the donuts was not bad either 1.35 each. Part of the reason I'm only giving this place 2 stars is because of the service , it was horrible the ladies working here were not nice at all read more

Donuts are good if you go at the right time. Service not so great. We've been there a few time and every time the front lady always seems to be in a bad mood and comes off rude. read more

Sesame Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Aloha, Oregon

I think the address is incorrect. ...i just might have to go back to double check. And get another vanilla frosted piece of sugary heaven. It was good....very good, as a donut should be. Edit: went back, the vanilla creme was just as I remembered. So good. read more

Sesame Donuts - The stuff dreams are made of (but like most dreams....this one got a bit squished). - Donuts Near Me - Aloha, Oregon

Aside from the terrible attitude of the lady who works here the place is disgusting and the donuts are stale. I do not recommend this place and it's poor attitude read more

I love Sesame donuts, especially their donut holes, they are by far my most favorite guilty pleasure. I usually get my weekly dose of sugary-goodness at the Brookwood library shop and I very pleased with them! This time, however, I went to 185th location and while the donuts were very good, the customer service lacked behind significantly. Actually, I'd say that this was my worst experience so far. The lady at the counter was apparently not having bet of her days today, I can tell that the moment I went to the store as I was greeted only by disdainful "Hi" while the lady was looking somewhere far behind me, this was the case throughout the whole encounter so it seemed that she's not even acknowledging my existence. Even thought I was the only person in the shop, I was rushed throughout my order as if they were supposed to close the store 5 minutes ago, heard multiple sighs and noticed as the lady rolled her eyes as I was making my choices, truly I did felt like a nuisance there and as if I should be expedited out the door ASAP. In the end, my order was not even made right and I was short one donut that I payed for. I'm certainly not going to visit this location ever again due to horrible customer service experience. read more

I went to this place for donuts and coffee this morning. I told the kid at the counter I wanted a half dozen and he responded, "OK so how many?" Dude, half dozen = 6. Anyway, grabbed my cup so I can get my coffee. The coffee area had ants in a nice conga line across the edge of the counter. I informed the female employee about the ants and then left. Hopefully I don't have any ant bodies in my coffee. So gross!! read more

I am updating my review. After getting in touch with the manager about the negative experience I had, I must say he went above and beyond to rectify the situation and provide an excellent customer experience. It shows how passionate he is for his business and keeping customers happy. I will say the ladies in the store still need some better customer service skills, as they tend to not speak or even greet you when you come in, but the new young man working is AMAZING! He gives a huge smile and greets you when you walk in. He is patient even if you are indecisive. He doesn't make you feel rushed and he interacts with you. That is excellent customer service. They have absolutely earned my business back. Positive or negative, one employee can truly drive a customers experience! read more

I have been a regular at the Beaverton Hillsdale hwy location for years! They always have fresh amazing donuts much like most of the locations in this franchise. But this location has let me down 3 times! First time they were stale(like 2 day old stale) and I figured I just came at a bad time. Second visit half the donuts were great but the donut holes were again hard! So now it's the third time at this location with stale donut holes so I had to say something read more

The donuts were amazing and fresh! We always come here for breakfast. There are so many flavors to choose from. Customer service was great and friendly. Best donuts in Oregon! read more

Sesame Donuts - Wedding donut! - Donuts Near Me - Aloha, Oregon

This is by far our favorite donut shop in town, and trust me, we have been to several! Too many favorites to list them all, but the buttermilk bar, coconut cream, and bearclaw our definitely at the top of our family's list. As my husband is a major donut fanatic, I went in on a whim and asked if they could make him a donut birthday cake. The sweet lady behind the counter was more than happy to oblige, and the next morning we came in to pick it up. Before our eyes was the biggest Coconut cream donut I have ever seen! 12 inches around, about the size of a pizza. In beautiful blue lettering, it said Happy Birthday Eric! He was thrilled, and the price of 12.95 simply couldn't be beat. Great place to indulge the donut lover in your life! read more

Sesame Donuts - Yum :) - Donuts Near Me - Aloha, Oregon

I've had doughnuts, coffee, and Baskin-Robbins ice cream at the Raleigh Hills venue, so I didn't see why this newer Aloha outlet wouldn't work out for me when Black Rock was crazy busy. I was right! Not that I don't like Black Rock, but I needed caffeine right quick and then to work. The coffee was excellent, deep and dark, and served up with a smile and conversation. I indulged in a breakfast sandwich of eggs, bacon, and cheese on a croissant which was tasty (and full of calories, etc), but I decided to live it up because it's still 4th of July, right? ... Right! Freedom for all! I'm going to get up on my soapbox for a moment. I recently went to a "high-end" doughnut shop where the employees were severely lacking in customer service skills. The doughnuts are exquisite , but you know in the end ALL doughnuts are just delicious hunks of dough. The reason I won't be returning to the "high-end" store is because of their overly loud music and lack of customer service skill. The reason I will return to Sesame Doughnuts is the fine products and friendliness. Another reason I will return is when I started to bus my table, my cashier stopped me and insisted she do it. Impressive. OK, off my soapbox and time to end the review. If you want great products served by nice people, come to Sesame Doughnuts. Over and out. read more

Really bad service, I asked for a few donuts because I know I didn't want a whole dozen and as I was tell the lady the donuts I wanted she was just sighing after every donut and looked so annoyed, and I went again and she was just as rude every time read more

Because I really need better access to donuts. ;) Hmmm. This place just opened so conveniently on my commute to and from work. I tried and tried to resist, but eventually I had to stop in. Okay, twice. Reasonable prices and good selection here. I've tried a few varieties, cake and raised and donut holes. I would say definitely good, especially with a coffee, but Gary S. was right in his review. Comparisons will be made to Donut Day since it's just down the road, and honestly, Donut Day is just plain better. The chocolate donut holes I tried at Sesame Donuts were good, but lacked the denseness of flavor or slight crispiness of the crust that Donut Day has. Actually the texture was a little spongy, like biting into a marshmallow. I'll be back for sure to try a breakfast sandwich though! They have some basic sandwiches advertised, ham/bacon/sausage(?) with egg and cheese on a bagel or english muffin. They look awesome so I'll definitely give one a shot. Good bagel selection here too. read more

A nice, simple stop for a couple donuts and a cup of coffee. $2.99 for a coffee (probably 14 ounce) and two donuts. I chose a couple smaller, cake style donuts. Quality was great. The facility was clean and the service was friendly. Grey and Pink trim as the decor. Lacked a little character overall. Restrooms were clean. Not too many customers. I would return. Yummy coffee and very tasty donuts. read more

After moving from SFV in Los Angeles I've been looking for the perfect donut and sandwich place. Sesame donuts is both. I usually get the ham, cheese and croissant sandwich the croissant taste soo fresh! All there donuts look amazing. I feel like every time I go in they have a few new donuts. I never have. Problem with there pricing. The cashiers are always really nice too. The donut holes are the bomb I've never seen jelly filled donut holes and there's are superb. Everything taste fresh! read more

In my origional draft of this review I called Sesame Donuts a "chain", which I was requested to change. Apparently there's a stigma around that term. I just meant to keep your eyes out and you might see one. For giggles, I looked it up. There's no official definition for the term "chain store", but New York City says 15 stores and the Independant Restaurants of America says it's 10. So, this is a family owned store that has *only* 5 locations and is definately not a chain. The donuts have never had a lasting impression and I actually thought they were purchased from a larger purveyor until I stopped in to this location recently. There's something about the donuts that just seems very unremarkable. I also had origionally said that the donuts were fried in a sesame oil blend, hence the name. I was corrected. The donuts are fried in palm oil. Shame on me for taking hearsay as fact and perpetuating rumors! So I walk into the place, after driving by a thousand times. The walls are riddled with multi-colored confections. The dining room to the right is furnished with several booths intended to trick you into believing that this place has ever sat more than 5 people at a time. Not even KK manages to fill an 1/8th of thier seating at a time! The counters are clean, but worn from age, topped with the latest IPad POS system that seems kind of out of place in a strip-mall donut shop, like pearls on a hillbilly. The service is a no frills exchange. Which I actually appreciate first thing in the morning. Let's cut the theatrics and get straight to donuts? I like it. The Old Fashioned is usually my litmus test to see if a donut shop can make good donuts. It's a way to check their dough when it isn't smothered in sugar. Well, traditionally the Old Fashioned has a glaze, but for whatever reason, Seaseme's does not. Sadly. It should. The donut is dry, like a cake donut, and the glaze could have helped with this otherwise fairly bland donut. Edit: Because people seem to like to scrutinize over this review, they have multiple old fashioned donuts. But when I asked for one, they put a donut in my bag and passed up an excellent oportunity to tell me this. I googled "Old Fashioned donut" and all 4 images came up as glazed on the front page. I was given an un-glazed. Uh... So yeah. That's the one I would have assumed I was recieving. Key Lime Pie was the "donut of the day"... Oddly enough it was the donut of the day both times I went. Not sure how that works. Do they rotate according to days of the week and I just happened to be there on the same day of the week both times? Anyway, this donut was their saving grace. They get an extra star because this donut is what brought me back. The key lime filling was tart, rather than sweet. With this recipie they allowed the key lime to carry the overall pastry without trying to weigh it down with absurd amounts of sugar. The frosting was light and minimal and the dough itself just served as a vehicle for the key lime cream inside. Hardly at all sweet which is a rare find and a welcome suprise in a donut. I came back because I wanted more of this... oddly enough, it was there when I returned. Seemingly, the permanent "donut of the day." Blueberry Fritter: I asked to see it before I took one. Fritters can, at some places, be almost literally the size of a football. Sesame's is equally as large, but much thinner. They could still cut back by 25% and it would be equally as satisfying for a stand-alone 500 calorie meal for one. This one is fairly bland. More or less, it tastes like the heavy layer of sugar glaze that it's coated with. It's got dried blueberries in it, which can be tricky as dried fruit can very easily not even be the fruit that you think you're buying. Like "cranberry", if you read the package, can be dried cherries rehydrated in cranberry juice, then re-dehydrated. Which could lend to the problem of why the bluberry fritter doesn't actually taste like bluberries, or if you get an actual note, it tastes of blueberry powder that the dried fruit was rolled in, rather than actual bluberries. The coffee: Not terrible. It's Boyd's Coffee, if you're familiar. There's two varieties. Dark and medium. Very non-eccentric which may not be a bad thing. While some cheap coffees are overly bitter, or heavy on the tanins, this brew is pretty smooth. Goes down easy, but hardly a refined product. My suggestion, if you want a spectacular cup of coffe and have 10 minutes to kill, head to Black Rock Coffee, outside in the parking lot. Otherwise grab one of the Sesame house brews. I'll go back for another reluctant attempt, because it's on my way to work. But there's also 2 more donut shops also on my way to work, that just aren't on my *favorite* way to work that are just as good or better. If I can't find that diamond on the shelf, the key lime isn't enough to keep me forever. This wouldn't be the first time I've updated my review on a donut shop after several visits. read more

This is my favorite donut shop in town, however, I'm very disappointed they walled it off so you can't use the restroom anymore. Where are we supposed to clean our sticky hands and our kids' hands after we eat the donuts? Rude. I will keep coming back for the donuts because they're that good, but am disappointed they don't care much about the customers. Edit: the shop messaged me and thanked me for my review and mentioned that they have now added a wet wipes dispenser so we can clean up. Awesome! Thank you for listening to your customers! read more

My 9 year old did not want birthday cake... she wanted sesame donuts. Now three of her friends have also made the switch to from birthday cake to birthday donuts from sesame. It's THAT good! I recently had the buttermilk bar for the first time. It is Amazing! They have my vote for the best donuts in town. I work across the street from the origination sesame donuts on Beaverton Hillsdale and honestly I cannot tell the difference between the two shops quality. They have my vote for best donuts in town. read more

I ordered a donut cake for my daughter for her 7th birthday. What I got far exceeded my expectations! My daughter had a monsters university themed party and I ordered 2 cakes to make sure we had enough for everyone. I asked if one could be green like Mike and one be teal with purple spots like Sully. When I went to pick them up they were not only the correct colors but someone had spent a lot of time putting faces on them and making them look like the characters. It blew my mind! And the price? $12.99 for a huge donut that served 20 guests! We still have a whole extra donut cake left for breakfast. Not to mention they taste incredible. I've had their donuts before but this took it to a whole different level! read more

Sesame Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Aloha, Oregon

I would give this place 0 star, bought Boston cream donut it was stale, the chocolate was gummy and cream tasted very odd. It was first time stopping in since driving by every day and thought give it try, will never again. Krispy cream is always tast fresh made, even late in evening. Never never going back there again and to put salt on wound, older woman with nose piercing was rude to top of. What a mistake and waste of money. read more

Let me start with this- I am a super fan of the original location in Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy. When I think of donuts in the Portland area, I don't think of VooDoo or Heavenly Donuts, I really want Sesame Donuts (from the original location). Needless to say, I was very surprised to get a couple donuts at this location and find that not only do they nowhere near compare, I didn't even want to finish either one. The two I had weren't specials, but staples- Vanilla Creme and a Choco Coconut. So disappointed. I would not return to this location. read more

Such a sweet thing to do, and my daughter was very happy! read more
