Voodoo Doughnut Guide
Voodoo Doughnut: Where Doughnuts Get Weird (and Delicious!) Guide
Welcome to Voodoo Doughnut, a Portland institution and a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth and a sense of adventure! Forget your average glazed rings; Voodoo Doughnut is all about pushing the boundaries of what a doughnut can be. Expect quirky creations, unexpected flavor combinations, and a whole lot of pink. Be prepared for a line, especially during peak hours, but trust us, it's worth the wait to experience this unique Portland phenomenon. Voodoo Doughnut was founded in 2003 by Kenneth "Cat Daddy" Pogson and Tres Shannon with the goal of creating a doughnut shop unlike any other. They quickly gained notoriety for their unconventional flavors and playful designs, like the Bacon Maple Bar, the Grape Ape, and the iconic Voodoo Doll doughnut (complete with a pretzel stake!). Their success has led to multiple locations, but the original shop on SW 3rd Avenue remains a pilgrimage site for doughnut devotees. Beyond the visual spectacle, Voodoo Doughnut is all about the experience. Grab a pink box filled with your chosen delights and dive in! Don't be afraid to try something outrageous – that's the whole point. While they don't have a sit-down restaurant, you can enjoy your doughnuts on the go or find a nearby bench to savor the sugary goodness. And if you're looking for a truly Portland souvenir, a Voodoo Doughnut t-shirt is a must!
