Nestled in a cozy wood-lined space, this vegan donut haven serves up a delightful mix of classic and quirky flavors that will please everyone, even non-vegans.
"In an ideal location in the Hollywood District, Doe Donuts is the vegan answer to both Blue Star and Voodoo. Doughnut flavors are on the more creative side, with options like strawberry milk and Earl Grey available year-round. Doe is also one of the few Portland shops to sell seasonal savory doughnuts — think green chile mac and cheese or spaghetti and garlic bread. Although the doughnuts are on the pricier end of the spectrum, Doe makes all its ingredients in-house and donates to various local charities each month." - Rebecca Roland, Nick Townsend, Eater Staff
"Can a doughnut be truly transportive without butter, milk, or eggs? Vegan Doe Donuts, just around the corner from the Hollywood Theatre, will make converts of even the most skeptical. Oil frying provides plenty of indulgent mouthfeel, and the rotating bounty of creative flavors may include the earl-grey-and-vanilla Portland fog; a rhubarb, rose, and pink peppercorn; and the savory cheeseburger doughnut topped with a house-made pickle. The tiny Doe only offers outdoor picnic table seating and takeout." - Nathan Williams
"Since opening in 2017 in Northeast Portland’s Hollywood District, Doe Donuts has been satisfying vegan sweet tooths with its entirely plant-based offerings." - ByZoe Baillargeon
"But I’m also a big fan of Doe Donuts right around the corner. Vegans have to work so much harder to make something delicious and also worse for you." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"While the main attraction at Doe Donuts is the impressive lineup of vegan doughnuts, the floral wallpapered Hollywood shop also serves silky soft serve and oat milk ice cream that come in flavors like maple coffee and strawberry milk. Some doughnuts, like the birthday cake with vanilla bean glaze and colorful sprinkles, even have an ice cream equivalent. Customers can enjoy frozen treats in waffle cones topped with scratch-made chocolate cake crumbles, whipped cream, and hot fudge. Doe also offers ice cream sandwiches at the shop and local retailers." - Waz Wu
