Oh no, you don't know? I only do 10/10 reviews and this is ANOTHER ONE.FORGET the other places (ahem, doodoo voughnuts) and GO HERE. Quality stuff and unique flavors!If you want doughnuts for ADULTS - this is the place for you! They currently have a pear brandy flavor that has a little mini injector of pear brandy. CMON.Love them. Go there. Eat it. Go for a run to burn it off.
I kept hearing great things about Blue Star & my daughter & I are suckers for great donuts. I was at one of OHSU's health centers, a block away from B.Star, & thought I'd grab a few as a treat for my daughter, who was at that moment, undergoing heart surgery. I didn't have my card on me, only cash. I had no idea they didn't accept cash at this location. The lady that helped me gifted the half dozen!! What a treat!! Thank you so much! This little treat, my daughters weakness, contributed some joy on a VERY tough emotional day!! YA'LL ROCK!!
First off, I think you should know... I Love donuts. Like at the top of my favorite tasty treats list level of Love.So naturally I like to stop by new donut locations whenever I have the chance.There were only about ten different flavors they offered here. For as big as this building is, I was surprised they didn't take advantage of the space they had to work with. Without a doubt though, I was more than pleasantly surprised when I tried a Tropical Delight donut. It was one of the best donuts I've ever had. Need I remind you, I've tried allot of donuts. There were so many flavors packed into this one diamond donut bite and they were each delicious.It should also be noted that a handful of their donuts have alcohol in them, including an apple cider fritter situation. It was okay but something I probably won't be trying again. The dough was really dense and a bit dry. That tropical delight on the other hand is something I would drive miles out of my way to get another one of.Oh and a quick heads up, the two donuts cost me about $12...I know, but seriously try the tropical delight.
Such good donuts! Was told to go here instead of voodoo. So glad I did! Amazing donuts, so unique and original flavors. They were all different flavors, unique flavor combinations, on top of all different kinds of donuts
Pretty good but some flavors are overwhelming for my tastes. Sometimes I just want a simple donut, and they have that! But, I really like their old-fashioned donut variations. Very moist and cakey, as they should be!
Smoked Maple Bacon Old Fashioned, Cointreau Creme Brûlée and a Tropical Delight with a Coava Blue Star Blend Coffee
One of my favorite places to get donuts when you’re looking for something a little “extra”. These guys are definitely out of the box thinkers. You won’t find any plain chocolate or vanilla iced with sprinkles here. Instead, every donut has a unique flavor combination that is sure to set your tastebuds ablaze. From Crème Brûlée to Chocolate Almond Ganache, you’re definitely going to find something that makes you drool.And the donuts are huge too! Definitely big enough for two, at least in my opinion. My preference is to get a wide variety and then slice them into smaller sections so that everyone gets to try the different flavors for themselves.Bottom line, if you’ve never tried Blue Star, give them a shot. You won’t be disappointed. They may be a little on the more expensive side, but you definitely get what you pay for.
blue star is typically great, but this particular location has the slowest, least efficient team. Having been a good service manager for many years, it's frustrating watching one person pour the coffee, while another person watches/ slowly hands the coffee to the guest, and a third person is just wandering around. Especially in a post covid world, why are two employees touching the same coffee cup? It's a donut store, it should take the guest longer to figure out which donut they want, than any other aspect of the transaction. It's like the most chill job, the least they could do is have some pep in their step.
Delicious, fresh, unique donuts! My favorite donuts in Portland. The Raspberry Rosemary Old Fashioned is the best. Super kind people. Highly recommend!
Wow, do they have some interesting flavors of donuts! Freshly baked with unusual combinations but all very good. Indoor/outdoor seating in this up and coming neighborhood in south downtown Portland.
