The donuts were out of control good. Super funky & unique flavors and I honestly liked every variety I tried. I'd have to say I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned style donut. Their buttermilk old fashioned was my favorite. Must check this place out if you want amazing donuts
Hands down, one of the best donut shops Portland has to offer!!!! The people are super friendly. The donuts are temporary heaven. They also have liquor infused donuts. It's one of my new favorite spots for sure, and it will become one of yours as well.
Never been to place where vegan donuts tasted better than their non vegan counterparts. Portland can definitely do donuts right, unlike Asian and Mexican food lol. Anyways very impressed with their donuts especially the orange flavored one with white powdered sugar.
We knew we had to try this as it was listed on every Portland list, and wow it delivered. We got for different flavors and each was so unique and delicious. I don’t think you can go wrong with flavors! Incredibly kind service. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy and in a sunny environment!
Great vegan donut options! The orange olive oil and tropical delight are 2 that tend to be available year-round. Both are excellent, high-quality donuts. I also recently tried the seasonal vegan option, apple brandy crumble. I think I actually liked it even better than the “usuals”! I’ve also had several non-vegan donuts here and they’re all fantastic.
Have loved Blue Star for years, they have a very unique vegan donut base... It's cake (vs the typical yeast) but it's still quite light and fluffy with a perfect sweetness.
Recommend the orange olive oil or passion fruit of the vegan options. They used to always have the blueberry bourbon as a vegan standard (which was my favorite) but I haven't been able to find it in a while.
Stores are bright and clean, service is always pleasant. Options to sit outside or inside.
I am so happy Blue Star brought the Orange Olive Oil back. This is the best thing and worth a trip down to Portland. Please don't ever take this away again. It's the best thing since sliced bread.
Guy behind the counter was super funny and very nice. I like this location better since they open later and there are plenty of doughnuts in stock as well. Parking is easier here.
First time trying Blue Star Donuts, was my last day and had to make the stop before leaving. I have never been a fan of cake donuts but the orange olive oil donut was amazing! The best cake donut I ever had hope this flavor stays I’ll have to get one next time I come back! I also tried the blueberry bourbon basil, chocolate Valrhona crunch, and the cherry brûlée. The blueberry one was pretty good, the chocolate Valrhona glaze was so good but could of used more filling, and the creme brûlée topping I found too salty when I was expecting sweet.
The staff was very friendly. We ordered a half dozen doughnuts. The cake doughnuts had the best texture and flavors. The chocolate bergamot old fashion and apple brandy crumble were amazing! Chocolate ganache was a little too rich for my taste. Overall great doughnuts and worth the price!
Unique flavors and fluffy donuts! My favorites were the blueberry bourbon basil and strawberry champagne pie since they were just the right amount of sweetness without being too heavy.
Great cheerful service. Bergamot old fashioned donut and lemon poppy seed donut were excellent flavor. Iced Matcha and iced Americano were smooth and tasty.
1000 stars out of 5. I typically don’t do gourmet/dressed up donuts because they’re usually way over the top with icing and fruity pebbles. However, blue star donut does it right down from the donut to the little crunchies on top. Nothing is over the top sweet, May be a bit, but it’s not overwhelming. My favorite has got to be the blueberry bourbon basil donut. It’s nothing like I’ve ever had before. It’s totally unique. The crème brûlée is a close second, with the chocolate almond ganache following. The chocolate icing here is so smooth and again not overwhelmingly sweet.
Don't go with an assumption that you're gonna get buzzed. :P Flavorful donuts with a touch of buzz. This is what blue star donuts is! I know a million people told you about Voodoo donuts but it's def time to check out such local places. I absolutely loved their orange liqueur and blueberry donuts. Not too sweet that you want to give up after a few bites!
These were the best donuts I’ve ever had. Someone tipped me off that blue star was the best in Portland and I have to say… they might be right.
I asked for the best two they had and was given a tangerine something and a blueberry bourbon something. (Sorry I couldn’t give you the exact names 😅) but I always recommend asking for their best because it never disappoints. Was expecting weird flavor combinations, but I was so impressed.
These donuts are a work of art. (Also bonus, they had kombucha too!)
You guys….I’m not a donut person. Until today. The raspberry donut (pink one) has turned me into someone who likes donuts and doesn’t just look like one haha. I’m told by locals that this place is better than Voodoo donuts.
This doughnut shop is by far the best you can have. Blue star is amazing. Soft, and perfectly made. Highly recommended for everyone to stop and enjoy.
These donuts are FIRE!!! Such delicious, unique flavors. The service here was great as well, very patient with me making my donut choices and explained a lot about the flavors. Other than the parking being tough, this location was great as well! 10/10 donuts.
Delicious donut shop! Not too sweet and really fun flavors (we had the Earl Grey Chocolate Old Fashioned and the Pumpkin Pecan Old Fashioned). Truly a donut for adults 😊
