Pdxguide

Sorry, Portland’s Dunkin’ Donuts (how few and crappy they were) are all closed, and the Krispy Kremes are out in exotic suburbia (Clackamas?) Where are native East Coasters going to get their donut jones, especially late at night? Fortunately, there’s one beacon of hope in the donut darkness of PDX, and that is Voodoo Doughnuts. This shop specializes only in overnight donuts. Located between Theatre Paris and Berbatti’s, this place is literally a hole-in-the-wall, complete with Portland’s Smallest Stage (live music every Wednesday). And the donuts are good (they even have vegan ones!) Specialties include the eponymous Voodoo Donut, topped with chocolate, filled with jelly (“blood”) and poked through with a pretzel; also worth noting are the various fritters, the Tex-Ass Donut (can you eat it?) and a donut shaped like a penis filled with creme (yes, we are being dead serious here.) In the last few years, Voodoo has become a Portland institution, featured in many different media all around the world, and now the owners are running for City Council (again!) Mark our words: no visit to Portland is complete without stopping here!
