"NOLA Doughnuts, a New Orleans-themed shop, specialized in beignets and croissant-doughnut hybrids called la’ssants. They closed all locations in the greater Portland area due to economic conditions and the pandemic's impact. The shop first opened in Lake Oswego in 2015 and later expanded to Portland’s Pearl District and Beaverton. Known for their unique square laminated pastry doughnuts and fresh-fried beignets, they also offered King’s Cake during Mardi Gras season." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
