Best donut I’ve ever had: the Crème Brûlée donut is simply brilliant. Gorgeous texture and flavor, and the torched sugar coating is perfection. Looking forward to going back and trying more flavors! This place has wonderful, friendly service and a great vibe. And WOW that donut!:)

The lemon poppyseed old fashioned donut is the BEST donut I've had in my entire life. Nothing compares. This is my must have when in Portland.

Amazing assortment of donut flavours. I suggest coming by early so you’re able to grab your desired flavour, I went around noon and one of the flavours was already sold out! Of the ones I did get, they were all amazing and had really distinct flavour profiles. You really cannot go wrong with any of their options.

A good place to come if you’re looking for unique donut flavors. The bread is a little dry but their fillings are fantastic, using thick custards and creams that taste like they use quality ingredients.

Quiet. Excellent donuts with unusual flavors as well as classics. I had a chocolate crème vahalner? Very yummy. And I ate some apple fritter as well. Also very yummy!

This location is in a really hotspot and a quiet area on South waterfront and I love walking this area all the way to MacAdam Bay past there to sell wood so if you want to grab a quick coffee and a doughnut and eat this on your walk will be burning calories will also taken in some delicious donuts, but these go great with coffee as well. Each donut is heavy by weight and with flavor is so delicious. One of the best donut shops in Portland locally. And there's a few others that are great too and if you know you know.

The donut was delicious. It wasn't my favorite donut but the staff were friendly and the place was clean. I would recommend to my friends.

Prices were not visible. No problem with the six dollar donut but it better be good. I received a three day old, old, cold, refrigerated doughnut they made the gas station sound like a better option. Cheap dough, cheap, chocolate, mediocre, coffee that’s like five dollars. I would not recommend this place.

I asked when was the coffee brewed and the worker there was facing the other way and said "there's another coffee shop nearby"
I lost my little brother, coming up on 2 years ago to cancer. This month I lost my mom, who had taken care of him. When I could come to Portland with them, one of the things he really enjoyed was, after all the consultations, and the treatments, he got to come get some of your donuts.

I'm always a fan of Blue Star donuts and must get it every time I visit Portland to bring back home. Their flavors rotate based on the seasons, but my favorite is the passion fruit. I hope they bring that back soon! I was sad to hear that it was out of rotation this holiday season, as it's the first time since years that it was off the menu. There's locations everywhere, even at the airport. Although the one at the airport is currently closed right now. I recommend going early if you can, to have more options on the flavor. The later in the day it gets, some popular flavors tend to run out. Service is pretty quick as it's just people picking out donuts. Even at crowded times, it'll take no more than 5/10 minutes to grab your donuts.

Donuts for grownups. In a city full of amazing donut options, Blue Star is king.

The donuts are SOOO good here, actually worth the money! Quality donuts, they bake them well here, the homemade glazes are amazing and there's such unique flavors ? I wish I lived closer because I'd be here all the time. There's a large variety of donuts to try, some buttermilk, brioche, vegan, etc. My favorite is the orange olive oil donut and raspberry buttermilk donut, omggg. Also the apple fritter. Employees are really nice here and there's some seating inside too :) Highly recommend!!

This is kind of a crank review (which is annoying, sorry) BUT it was $9.60 for a donut and coffee! Which is wild. The donut was great as always, I got the apple brandy one. It was $5.50 for the most mid coffee imaginable. I'm guessing there's a SW riverfront markup but I thought this was very silly.
