Blue Star Donuts + Coffee

Blue Star Donuts

 Blue Star Donuts is a great alternative if you and your spouse aren’t a Voodoo Doughnut fan! This shop serves up some gourmet donuts that are made daily!

Blue Star
’s pastry chefs start at 3:00 am every day to create their unique dough. The dough is from a French recipe and takes 18 hours to make. All of their food they offer is hand-made for some serious flavor! Their donuts, fillings, and glazes will make your mouth water. They have even earned the nickname “Donuts for Grownups” because of their unique and sophisticated (yet tasty) donuts.

Blueberry Bourbon Basil

There will surely be flavors that you and your spouse will enjoy. They have gourmet flavors like Crème Brulee, Strawberry Rhubarb, Passion Fruit with Cocoa Nibs, Valrhona Chocolate Crunch, and many more! With all of these delicious flavors you and your spouse can taste one another’s choice! Or get a few different flavors and taste test them all together!

Orxata Glaze

Because of the popularity that
Blue Star has it’s important to get there sooner than later. They sell out of some flavors faster than others. Be sure to make your way over with your spouse to snag your favorite! They also have seasonal donuts so look out for those each season.

Mmmm.. Doughnuts...

Voodoo Doughnuts

Voodoo Doughnuts is the place that has some of the most unique looking and tasting doughnuts! If you and your spouse love a good doughnut, you will not be disappointed with this little shop in Portland. They have a wide variety of doughnutty goodness, so you have quite the choice to make when you get there!

Voodoo Doughnuts

Voodoo Doughnuts has over 60 options to choose from! First off they have their raised yeast doughnuts. These are basically the regular kind, but they are Voodoo’s creation. If you’re looking for more of a dense doughnut, they have their cake doughnuts which are also richer in taste. They also have vegan doughnuts to accommodate those with that diet as well!

Now with that being said, the raised yeast doughnuts and the cake doughnuts both have over 25 different toppings. So that means, there are already 50 doughnuts that you have try out, not even including the vegan options! Some of their most popular include the Marshal Mathers which you can probably guess has M&M’s® topped on it. They also the Voodoo Bubble with bubble gum dust and a piece of double bubble on top. And of course, the Bacon Maple Bar©, which everyone seems to love. And, if you aren’t into these different flavors, they offer plain glazed and simple chocolate frosting doughnuts too!

Before you run right over, make sure to bring cash as this is the only thing they accept. They have ATMS there for your convenience if you forget.
