A local favorite, behind Cherry Sprout Produce. Simple menu but what they have is excellent. DJ most nights and a nice outdoor sitting area.

A Portland hit. Very interesting ( to say the least) donuts and bars. Every flavor imaginable. Lines can be long so plan on waiting or go really early (3am). As I was one told, you can not leave Portland without stopping by and trying one donut. But some for the flight home!
