Dough Hook Bake Shop

You walk in and they don’t greet you or make you feel welcomed!

I just moved to the area recently and I swear I have ordered from these guys at least seven times. Their donut are fresh and soft and their selection of croissants is sensational. I would personally recommend the Boston Crème and the pepperoni croissant. Oh I almost forgot, there are a LOT of vegan options here too. The marionberry and maple glaze are my sister’s favorite from the vegan options!
I do hope they get more filled donut options because I don’t know how they make the crème inside but it is divine

My daughter heard about this place on Reddit so we had to go. We were going to be in Salem today so it was perfect timing.

I had a Crème brûlée and she had a toasted coconut. This was my first time having a brûlée of any kind. For me it will be a one time thing, not a fan. But the filling was superb. The pastry was moist and almost fluffy. I can't wait to try others. My daughter said hers was the best she has ever had and agreed about the pastry.

If you haven't tried it yet it is well worth it.

Delicious donuts and other sweet and savory pastries, the likes you'll find nowhere else.

Oh my! These pastries are off the hook delicious! Have patience. There may be a line, but it's worth the wait. Go early for your best choices.

I was rather disappointed after seeing so many talk about it , donuts were dry , and almost crusty hard . I was hoping it would be great like voodoo donuts 😕

Super disappointed Spent nearly $30 for 6 donuts that were completely incorrect and all I got in response was sometimes DoorDash has the wrong pictures!!! Pretty much an “oh well” I am a paying customer… I visit my daughter only a couple times a month as I am busy, she lives in Salem and I work and live in Portland… I live to see her smile… To see the disappointment on her face before I had to rush to Portland was disheartening If there is a problem with DoorDash posting the two can hash it out… I mean for that damn price do the customer right, not leave them fuming for some crappy overpriced regular donuts!!!!

Great tasting vegan donuts (front row) of display. Other options available. Well priced. Walk up counter style. Clean and very friendly service. Plenty of parking.

Quite a lot of vegan options today, including maple, French toast, marionberry, grandma's hot chocolate, toasted coconut. Went with the maple and French toast, which were both very fresh and huge. One doughnut is plenty, definitely worth the stop, even though the location is kinda sketchy.

Donuts are good, but all seem to be the same dough.

We get their donuts from the Saturday Market nearly every week. Our favorite by far is the vanilla doughnut cupcake things. Unbelievable how much cream they fit in those, and it’s clearly home made and not just vanilla pudding.

While the dough is pretty much perfect (pillow soft, but nice and chewy), I personally think the frosting to dough ratio is off. I’d like about twice as much frosting. Just missing some sweetness.

Drove 20 minutes to go to this place. Not open, despite the sign and website saying they are. Waste of time.

I don’t know if it changed owners or not but the donuts I got sucked no where near the normal quality or taste

Great selection, including seasonal favorites like pumpkin spice sugared raised doughnuts and apple fritters glazed with cider. The maple glazed doughnuts have real maple syrup. I bought two doughnuts and couldn’t eat them both, they are so large, and I didn’t get to try the passion fruit — can’t wait to go back!
