This 18-hour brioche marvel is not your ordinary donut- a delicate brioche shell, lovingly filled with a luscious mascarpone custard that's been infused with the essence of lady fingers, creating a heavenly texture and taste. It is then torch-bruléeing the donut, creating a caramelized espresso-infused crust adorned with a sprinkle of ladyfingers, adding a delightful crunch to the velvety symphony within.
Strawberry Champagne Pie

But wait, there's more! This beauty is luxuriously coated in a velvety chocolate glaze infused with a burst of refreshing peppermint magic. And the pièce de résistance? A generous sprinkle of crushed candy canes, adding a perfect crunch and an extra dose of festive cheer. This donut is not just a treat; it's a celebration of chocolatey, pepperminty joy that'll have your taste buds doing a happy dance!
Buttermilk Old-Fashioned
Buttermilk old-fashioned cake donut, crispy on the outside and creamy fluffy on the inside, and simply adorned with our signature Orxate glaze topping.
Crispity, Crunchity Maple Bar
Here it is - the Crispity, Crunchity Maple Bar! Chef cut our signature 18-hour dough into a fluffy pillow of brioche. It's proofed and fried and delicately dunked in a glaze made with Runamok Sugarmaker's Cut pure maple syrup, then half-topped with a generous sprinkling of hazelnut praline created by Chef. The praline starts with fresh hazelnuts and caramel, cooked into a perfect candy crumble. Of course she took it up a notch with a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper and sea salt!
The O.G. (Orxata Glaze)
A brioche ring is dipped with our original, house-made horchata glaze for a simple and sweet, delightfully uncomplicated donut.
Lemon Poppy Buttermilk Old-Fashioned
Our creamy buttermilk old-fashioned cake donut is lightly glazed with this bright, tartly sweet topping, made with fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. A light dusting of poppy seeds provides a bit of smoky texture balance.
Apple Cider Fritter
Our fritter starts with a thick mix of freshly shredded granny smith apples, cinnamon, and coriander. The mix is folded into our signature brioche dough, and then formed and fried to perfection. Finally, while it's still hot, we dip it into our special gooey glaze made with real hard apple cider.
Blueberry Bourbon Basil
The blueberry bourbon basil is one of our most popular donuts and combines fresh sweet blueberries, fresh fragrant basil, and a good local bourbon (added for a hint of caramel depth).
Valrhona Chocolate Crunch
First, we stuff our signature brioche shell with creamy vanilla custard, and then dip it in thick, rich French dark chocolate. Next, we top with crispy pearls of toasted puffed rice coated in Valrhona dark chocolate. Finally, it gets all over your face and it's totally worth it.
Apple Brandy Crumble
This fall treat is an all-time legendary staff favorite! It starts with our scrumptious vanilla cake donut, and is smothered in a tart, sweet fresh apple glaze made with barrel-aged apple brandy from Portland's Clear Creek Distillery. Chef topped it all off with a salted Marcona almond crumble to balance that apple sweetness with a salty, crunchy kick!
Raspberry Rosemary Old-Fashioned
A colorful standout in our old-fashioned lineup! It starts with fresh raspberry puree, which is balanced with a herbal note of refreshing rosemary. The bright berry flavor pairs beautifully with the creaminess of the buttermilk cake for this playfully sophisticated treat. Local alcohol rules prohibit merchants from fulfilling orders that contain more than 2 cocktails or non-factory-sealed wines per substantial food item. Restaurants may cancel or refund orders that do not comply with these rules.
Sugar N' Spice
The perfect spiced cake donut really comes down to the balance in the spice blend, and here Chef has nailed it! Our not-too-sweet vanilla cake donut is doused with a special vanilla sugar with spices blended in, making it the ultimate candidate for dunking.
Nitro Masala Chai
Smith Tea Masala Chai - A cool, velvety beverage brewed with second flush Assam tea, ginger root, cassia, black pepper, cardamom, and vanilla bean.

My brother brags about the quality of the donut game in Portland so was happy to have the opportunity to try out Blue Star Donuts… and worth the trip! I asked the lovely donut server about her favorites and she recommended the lemon curd and the chocolate old fashioned. Both are fantastic and balance a delicious donut with a subtle flavor to distinguish them from the basic recipe. Well played Blue Star, well played ?

Eh, it's a donut. Got the OG, and wish there was a bit more cinnamon. Otherwise, it was practically just a sugar glaze. The brioche dough is pillowy and soft, but over hyped of course.

A nice snack (though with the amount of sugar they add, it's probably a meal). They've got some unique flavours. Perhaps worth trying with a group of friends if you're visiting. Definitely not worth eating often, it's a nice treat.

I had to grab a dozen donuts for work, and this place was closest. I just went in and asked without looking it up and yeah, definitely should have! $50+ for a dozen! Haha! All my fault, but they were really good donuts, fast service too. 5 stars, would visit again for a donut and drink with my wife. Not a dozen for my dirty coworkers tho
