The Best Doughnut Shops in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Blue Star Donuts is a culinarily-minded doughnut chain in Portland — in shops that are bright, airy, and modern, Blue Star crafts brioche-based doughnuts topped and filled with ingredients more commonly found in a high-end pastry chef’s kitchen. Although the doughnuts are much pricier than most and have a denser crumb than a traditional raised doughnut, it’s worth the stop to indulge in fancy varieties like horchata glazed, raspberry rosemary, and Cointreau crème brûlée. Vegan options are no afterthought — the blueberry cake crumble and powdered sugar-coated orange olive oil are both standouts." - Rebecca Roland
