Gourmet brioche donuts with creative flavors & local ingredients
"Any donut shop in Portland lives in the shadow of Voodoo Doughnuts, but most locals are quick to point out that Voodoo’s fare is much more style than substance. Blue Star (which also has a location downtown) brings a more nuanced approach to toroid breakfast snacks. The bright and clean shop offers a small selection of unique flavors like Bourbon Blueberry Bourbon & Basil, or Lemon Poppy Buttermilk. Definitely the place to go for Portland donuts." - Kevin M. Fitzgerald
"Blue Star Donuts is a culinarily-minded doughnut chain in Portland — in shops that are bright, airy, and modern, Blue Star crafts brioche-based doughnuts topped and filled with ingredients more commonly found in a high-end pastry chef’s kitchen. Although the doughnuts are much pricier than most and have a denser crumb than a traditional raised doughnut, it’s worth the stop to indulge in fancy varieties like horchata glazed, raspberry rosemary, and Cointreau crème brûlée. Vegan options are no afterthought — the blueberry cake crumble and powdered sugar-coated orange olive oil are both standouts." - Rebecca Roland
"From its inventive flavors to its high-quality dough, Blue Star Donuts is a serious contender for the fanciest donuts in Portland." - ByZoe Baillargeon
"I read that Blue Star Donuts broke the news in a press release that it would relinquish its Hawthorne location to make room for the Fried Egg cart; the Portland-based brioche doughnut chain opened a new Inner Southeast location at 3325 SE Division and is focusing on its Multnomah Village location slated to open Saturday, January 19. Blue Star is described as a popular chain with locations along the West Coast, including seven in the Portland area." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
