Best

I love voodoo dolls and old dirty bastard's! Any day, any time, anywhere. And yes, I'll take 2 more.

Worst

Completely overrated. Anybody can dip a doughnut in cereal and serve it stale. They are not customer friendly and establishments are dirty. Cash only with a broken ATM is inconven...

Get a Voodoo Doughnut if visiting Portland, Oregon! 11/13/2009

It's sweet to have family think of you on their out of town trip w/ souvenirs or pics from the trip. But in my case, it's literally sweeter when they come back with donuts from Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, Oregon LOCATION: Yeah...Portland, Oregon close to intersection of W Burnside Street (Hwy 30) & SW 3rd Ave. SWEET FAMILY LOVE: My sista & cousins went out of town for several days to Oregon & Washington. I don't know if they heard about Voodoo Doughnut from Food Network, Travel Channel, or locals, but glad they did & brought some sweets back for me on their flight home ^_^ FYI, it cost $1 for a personal msg on donut, but all the below were delish! * Ridiculously XL Glazed Donut Hole * Voodoo Man Jelly Filled Donut ...funny, when I bit into him & realized filled w/ jelly kinda looked like I just murder him w/ the red ooozing from the inside * C0ck & Balls Custard Filled Donut ...fyi I did NOT make that name up either OMG RIGHT THERE, YEEES!: Now reflection of taste, SCRUM-DIDLY-UMPTOUS! Donuts were crazy thick & soft, jelly was sweet & I look for the seeds in my jelly... not much of a custard person but the custard was pretty damn good, & the chocolate icing was nothing like I expected. Not just sweet chocolate icing, but OMG thick...like melted Hostess chocolate or something. I mean I laughed to myself when I bit n2 the Cock & Balls, & of course I bit the head 1st...only to see white custard cream in the middle =o These donuts were a surprise on 1st site, & more of a surprise after 1st bite. Pleasureful all around! Visiting Portland, Oregon in the future...stop in @ Voodoo Doughnut ;-) Pros: Inventive, crazy, fun, & delicious donuts! Cons: * none * more

Excellent doughnuts, not so excellent service 6/10/2009

I've only been to Voodoo twice, but both were in the past month. The first time I went, I purchased the Tex-Ass doughnut for around $4 and it was larger than my head, I kid you not. It was delicious and took me a while to eat! The second time I got one with peanut butter and rice krispies...DELICIOUS! That one was almost $2, I think. But...both times I went, I encountered not-so-nice staff members. They act like they are better than you and don't really help you if you have questions because the line is so long, so all they seem to care about really is getting your doughnut quickly without much talking. Never the less, I will continue going ONLY FOR THE FACT that they have the best doughnuts in Portland! Pros: Delicious doughnuts, fun to eat Cons: Rude staff, pricey doughnuts, crowded room with long lines more

Stale, overpriced and rude service 2/1/2009

We waited (in the cold) outside in line for 20 minutes for stale doughnuts that were so overly sweet, to be waited on by a rude person. $17 for 2 dozen doughnuts, and we could not choose the doughnuts ourselves for that price. more

Overpriced, mediocer taste, long wait and rude service, great concept though. 9/22/2008

The concept is great, and the ideas for doughnuts, excellent! I had seen this several times passing through downtown, heard of it several times while talking to friends and finally saw a little blurb on it on the Food Network. I finally gave in, I'd go check this place out. Pros: Great concept Cons: Rude service, mediocer taste, long wait for a whole lot of nothing. more

Voodoo you put a spwll on me 9/6/2008

Captain Crunch on a doughnut!!! Yes please. This is one of those places that you have to go to in Portland. The line is long but moves fast. If you are new to the area it's worth checking out sometimes to just people watch. Pros: good location and open late more

VooDoo Donuts or Do-Nots 7/24/2008

I like donuts as much as the next red blooded American, so I was anxious to check this out on my recent trip to Portland. I love the concept of mixing odd combinaitons of tastes together - take the classic Maple Bar and Bacon Donut as an example and what doens't taste better with Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries (funny enough though, I liked the basic culler the best). What was irritating was the girl behind the counter who ignored me as I stood there for at least 5 minutes while she assembled pink boxes. Now, I get the concept: it's not your average chain (ie.: Dunken Donuts or Starbucks) and as a former goth kid, I get the sullen, depressing attitude, and I totally get the fact that it's next to a strip club and not the best part of town. That being said, someone might want to let the help know that they're basically working in a fast food joint so greeting your customer's and taking their order is part of the job. How else do they think money gets put in the metal ""tip"" box they so proudly display on the counter? Ultimately, good sugar rush and great concept worth the experiance. more

Yum, yum, yum? 7/4/2008

I love donuts - used to work for a donut shop in High School, but after I'd seen a few ""bad"" reviews for Voodoo, so I wasn't sure I wanted to take the drive to check it out. But, hey, it's the 4th of July and everybody was still in bed. Everyone but Voodoo Donuts! It was my first time there, so I wasn't sure where it was or what it looked like. After looking around a bit, I found it. The gal behind the counter was great, very friendly and helpful! I wanted to sample a few so I got the maple bar (very good, light and tasty), a blueberry cake (surprisingly light, not greasy), an apple fritter (wow, I love fritters and this one was NOT greasy, delish and FULL of apple pieces), but the one that I really loved was their ""Memphis Maphia"" (I think that's what it's called. BTW, the program won't let me put an ""f"" in the last word - inappropriate word). I love bananas and peanut butter, so when I read the description for the donut and it included drizzled chocolate, I started to salivate!!! Nuvrei used to have a croissant that had banana filling and chocolate drizzled on the top, but they stopped making it. That was a sad day? And, NO, I didn't eat all of them!?!? Just most of them? I will definitely be back and I will bring some back for my friends. Anybody hungry??? Pros: Lots of options, great donuts, not too expensive Cons: Not easy to find, not much parking and not the place to hang out and enjoy your haul! more

Big let down... 5/11/2008

Rude service, overpriced product, lousy quality. Like so many others who have written reviews here, I also heard of Voodoo on the TV, it looked like a fun place to visit and I went with great anticipation of a real taste experience. And an experience I did have, just not the one I had anticipated. more

Why the hate? 4/14/2008

I can't figure out why people are so offended by Voodoo Donuts. YES, folks, it's not a sparkly-clean Starbucks. YES, some of the employees have dreads. YES, homeless/questionable people wander in here (have you seen the neighborhood? Noticed it's next to a strip club?). If you expect to be smiled at and coddled and cooed at when you order your donut, you're going to be disappointed. If you like your donuts with an edge and have a buck and change burning a hole in your pocket, you can get a damn fine donut here. I'm not even a huge fan of donuts, and these are good. Pros: Donuts. Cons: No pampering. more

should rename this place Nut Job Donut 4/4/2008

Other than a couple of P&%^$ shaped donuts this place is just like Winchell's. The only difference that I saw was more homeless guys talking to themselves here. By the way, I would only pay 5.75 for a donut if it had a 5 dollar bill baked inside. Pros: they do serve food here Cons: it costs 500% what it should more

donut valhalla 2/24/2008

having read reviews of the place, T and I decided to see for ourselves one weekend, and so visited. Fair enough, the place isn't sparkling clean, but if you're looking for dunkin donuts, you came to the wrong place. Far from being rude and/or surly, the guy behind the counter was working hard and quickly to fill customer's orders. We decided to try the triple chocolate, which was delivered on a clean square of wax paper. With an air of friendly gratitude for our business. We're no donut afficionados, we don't frequent toppot nor ooh and aah over crispy cremes - but this donut tasted just fine. I'm guessing that an independent place like Voodoo may be spotty in service and product from time to time, but my suggestion is check it out if you're interested, and see what you find. We like supporting independant businesses, and will probably stop in again next time in Portland. Pros: funky and unique Cons: could be cleaner more

For The Adventurous Donut Lover 10/10/2007

No, Voodoo Donut isn?t in the nicest area. No, it?s not bright and shiny and sterile. No, the people behind the counter aren?t bright and shiny and sterile, either. If you?re looking for the best basic donut in Portland, you won?t find it there. Pros: Donuts Cons: Neighborhood more

Awful donuts, WAY overpriced, and dirty 9/13/2007

I was excited to try this funky Portland institution. Unfortunately, it was grimy and offputting at the outset. The counter was filthy and the rest of the place was worse. The service was lackluster. We took the donuts home to eat, and they were awful. My cake donut was undercooked and almost raw on the inside, and the icing was gritty and had no chocolate flavor. My cruller also had terrible flavor and mealy texture. Just awful. My husband had paid, so I didn't learn until later that it cost $9.25 for five small donuts! Give me a break! Other donut shops like Sesame Donuts have MUCH MUCH better product at MUCH MUCH lower price. Avoid this place at all costs. more

Vegan Voodoo Donuts are the BEST! 8/7/2007

This is one of Portland's best spots! I love it! Especially after coming out of a show at Berbatti's a donut always sounds so good. They have funny ones too like peanut butter and jelly and maple bar with bacon and the ever popular blazer blunt. The vegan donuts are really good though.. and I'm not even a vegan, but my friends are, so that's how I started eating them. Definitely check it out. Open all night I think? Pros: Donuts! Cons: ""the after donut feeling"" more

Nice Gimmick, Poor Product 7/10/2007

What can I say; Portland always has a way with intriguing me and did so once again when I heard about Voodoo. A friend of mine had just come in from Spain and mentioned she had read about this place on the airplane. So, I asked a couple of local friends about it and they excitedly told me all the details. I wanted to go, so we decided to stop by prior to heading out to the Dundee wine country. What can I say, wine and donuts? why not? Anyhow, I entered the little shop and immediately smiled: This was a uniquely Portland destination. Everything from autographed pictures of Portland micro-celebs like PoisonWaters, down to the purely alternative vibe was definitively Stumptown. The woman working the register was extremely nice and helpful, fun to speak with; however, I really wish she had on some sleeves, even short ones. There is something about someone handling my food with hairy pits sticking out everywhere (male or female) that make me wonder about the sanitation of the place. Well, that and the fact she placed the donuts directly on the dirty counter as she rang us up. But, that isn?t as important as the donuts themselves. They were not that great! I had the old fashioned ? dry and stale. My friend had the famous Voodoo, ?bloodjelly? and all, and she mentioned it was ?too fluffy, like cake? and that the frosting and jelly tasted ?cheap.? I am not sure where the line is between cake and donut, and won?t even try a stab at where cake-donut fits in the equation, but the point was made. She didn?t like it. Anyhow, I would suggest going to Voodoo for another quirky Portland experience, but don?t expect to be wowed when you take a bite. A suggestion for Voodoo ? go check out TopPot in Seattle, they do it right. Pros: Fun Cons: Food more
