"Voodoo Doughnut is where bacon, Froot Loops—and originally, even NyQuil—adorn donuts like an art school project, and somehow people are still lining up for a taste 20 years later. This Portland-born chain is now a 24-location empire for a reason. Sometimes, early 2000s kitsch works. But are the donuts too sweet? Absolutely. Too touristy? Definitely. Locals love to roll their eyes at the pink boxes and photo-snapping influencers who camp in line out front, but let’s be real: when it’s after midnight and you need something sugary to soak up whatever’s in your system, the Old Town original, open until 3am (a rarity in Portland), is a lifesaver." - Krista Garcia
