The news staff is probalby well aware of my opinion of Donuts in PDX, but I'll share with tehe rest of you.
VOODOO DONUTS FAIL HORRIBLY AS DONUTS!!!
If you want a good donut, go to Tonallis. Oh MAN! Tonallis is great. Especially late at night. And there's not over 9000 stupid fucking tourists crawling up your ass in order to eat some stupid fried pastry they saw on an aswful travle show.
Tonallis, without a doubt!!! I'll take their old-fashioned buttermilk donuts over any gourmet pastry. If you go to the Alberta St. location right before they close for the night (at midnight, I think?), you might be lucky enough to get your hands on some super fresh and warm donuts that they're prepping for the morning.
And they do have two locations, so there's plenty for everyone.
If the Tonalli's on Alberta's starts sprouting lines of tourists you can always head west to the St Johns Tonalli's.
Seriously though, props to Voodoo and Acme - both were kind enough to kick down donuts for the Eat Donuts to Curb Hunger ride last Pedalpalooza.
Have to share my disappointment that neither Annie's (Roseway represent!) nor Staccato Gelato were invited. The Triple Ginger donut at Staccato? That's what makes life worth living.
I was one of the judges at the event--and it was a ton of fun. All the shop owners were really nice and seemed to have a good time.
Coming from PA, I definitely miss the whole deep-fried dough mentality sometimes. All the donuts were wonderful, but I liked the simplicity of Coco's basic light, airy glazed donut. I also love that they're right up the street from my work. :)
I wish we could've gotten all the other donut shops mentioned here involved, too, but 9 whole donuts was enough to judge--believe me. I couldn't even look at a donut for a ....day.
You all have to be fucking trolling - Tonallis?! You sound like the kind of crusty fuckers who stick to shitty diners because they're "authentic." It's so goddamn fashionable to trash voodoo.
The attention they've gotten is eye-roll inducing, but they're tasty and inventive donuts, goddammit.
I live off Alberta, and after two visits I'm not going back - fucking Tonalli's, really?!
