What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"The Holy Donut is such a fun and memorable stop in Portland! Their donuts are made with potatoes, which gives them an incredible texture—soft, moist, and perfectly satisfying without being overly sweet. The variety is especially impressive and creative. We tried flavors like sweet potato coffee cake, ginger glazed, dark chocolate sea salt, and pomegranate, and each one was genuinely delicious and unique. The shop is conveniently located downtown and very easy to walk to if you’re exploring the area. We went on a Monday morning, so there was no line at all, but there are clear signs posted for how to queue when lines are out the door—which tells me this place is usually very popular (for good reason). If you’re in Portland, this is absolutely worth a stop. Creative flavors, great quality, and a really enjoyable experience overall."

"The flavor was great but I had a little issue with them being a touch too oily for me. It could be a personal thing but both the old fashioned and the bacon cheddar bites were flavorful but oily. The customer service was really top notch. Helpful and we actually had a minor issue with our order and they immediately addressed it with a smile. It's a rather small place with limited seating but we were there early before the crowds and it was lovely. I think potato makes it a heavier donut and it's great for dunking in coffee. The was yummy and tasted of really good quality in my opinion."

"I should preface I’m not a donut lover unless it’s a cake donut. My friend really wanted to try this place so luckily there was no line and we strolled in. We decided on the gooey bacon and cheese, tater tots and 4 donuts 🍩 maple, blueberry lemon, sweet potato and something else I can’t remember. The gooey bacon and cheese and tots were the show stoppers, we were not a fan of the donuts. They had a very dense consistency, with no flavor outside of whatever frosting or topping was on the donut. We did not finish them and would only return for non donut items 🤷🏾‍♀️ Popular place that others seem to really love but the donuts were not donuting."

"Stopped by The Holy Donut to try their famous potato donuts. I had the toasted coconut, and it was okay — soft and fresh but not as flavorful as I expected. The texture is unique and dense compared to regular donuts. The shop can get busy, especially in the mornings, but the line moves quickly. There’s limited seating, so it’s best for a grab-and-go treat."

"This Friday morning the shop was quiet, only one customer ahead of us. Hot decaf coffee that was not bitter but it did cool quickly before it was finished. Also iced coffee (decaf not available) was ok. The donuts are made with potato so expect a heavier consistency. Blueberry with lemon glaze. The glaze kept chipping off the donut while I tried to eat it so I had a pile of lemon glaze to eat after the donut consumed. The pumpkin glaze much better. The flavor like pumpkin pie and the glaze was smooth and creamy which stuck to the donut. Seating is very limited even this morning. Good to plan on take out"
