Upmarket brioche donuts with creative flavors & local ingredients
"Located in the north hall, the doughnut shop offers brioche-based doughnuts with inventive flavors like blueberry bourbon basil and passionfruit cacao nib — described as brioche-dough wonders that will make any early morning flight bearable." - Janey Wong
"A gourmet approach that uses a signature brioche dough and an 18-hour production process to produce airy, soft donuts and also denser old-fashioned styles; inventive, polished flavors and finishes include Blueberry Bourbon Basil, Orange Olive Oil (orange-vanilla cake with spiced olive oil powder), Cointreau Crème Brûlée, passion fruit–cacao nib, and chocolate almond ganache. The shop emphasizes neat shapes, glossy glazes, and a variety of textures, and pairs its offerings with beverages like iced matcha or nitro cold brew (in collaboration with a local roaster)." - ByZoe Baillargeon
"Doughnuts are to Portland what coffee is to David Lynch, both essential fuel and calling card. While there are many pretenders to the title of the city’s best doughnuts—Voodoo Doughnuts certainly sells the most Instagrammable food products—Blue Star, from ubiquitous local restaurateur Micah Camden, is the most consistent. Flavors range from powdered sugar to maple bacon to passion fruit cocoa nibs, sold fresh daily until no more remain. The downtown location gets crowded early on weekends, so plan ahead. In a pinch, grab them at Blue Star’s airport location—which makes asking a friend to pick you up at the airport a sweet request indeed."
