    In a city full of great donuts, Annie's is an unpretentious take on a classic style of donut. Located on Sandy Blvd and 72nd, it's a bit further out than most of the trendy stops which makes it more of a neighborhood spot than tourist destination. The donuts are pretty regular in size, some skew towards large. They've got most of the classic flavors - your plain, sugar, cake, sprinkle, glazed, filled, fritter, etc - with nothing too crazy (no risqué names or medical flavors here). I'm not a huge donut eater but also not hard to please when it comes to donuts. I thought these were pretty tasty. With a small parking lot, friendly service, reasonable prices, and cool yellow booth seating, that makes this place a four-stars overall for me.

    Decent "basic" donuts (no Voodoo-esque nonsense here!) in a shop with weird hours: Annie's closes for a few hours in the early afternoon during the weekdays, reopening after 6pm until 10pm. On the weekends, get in in the morning, or you're out of luck! All the standards are here: maple bars, glazed, custard-filled, jelly-filled - you know, the basics! Although, there are a few fun surprises here and there, when they're not sold out, like the Old Fashioned. And they're inexpensive, too! You can get a dozen donuts here for less than you can purchase a half dozen at any of the "weird" donut places. However, it's recommended to get them fresh (in the morning, usually), as they don't have that great of a shelf life. Grabbing a few before they close is a bit of a gamble, especially if you're not eating them immediately. Still, Annie's Donuts feels like survivor from the days of "Old" Portland, and I mean that in the best way possible. I love supporting these locally-owned gems, and with donuts this good, for this cheap, I don't know how they turn a profit! I guess I'd better keep on supporting them, to make sure they stick around for years to come!

    Old school all the way! Annie's is the kind of doughnut shop I grew up with before maple bacon, blueberry basil, lavender glazed and fruit-loop covered doughnuts became the Portland norm. At Annie's, you walk in and the doughnut counter greets you, filled with old fashioned cake doughnuts, buttermilk bars, bismarks, soft glazed, maple bars, chocolate dipped, and sprinkles. The fanciest they get is an apple fritter. The coffee is just as simple; do you want cream and sugar? This is not the triple shot, soy, no foam latte place. That is on every other corner, but not NE Sandy and 72nd! Inside there are several booths in a very simple decor, not updated to the all white, mid century mid succulent motif. It's old school, through and through. Service is the same. Friendly, efficient, on to the next. I stopped in on my way to a swim and needed some energy. Annie greeted me with a cheerful smile and conversation as if I was a regular who stopped by daily. This is what makes Annies's Doughnuts both nostalgic and charming. And the doughnuts are good. Darn good.

    The sign doesn't lie :)

They are brioche-based donut with a thick, heavy dough instead of being airy and fluffy. Well, they are unique, but they are definitely not my favorite and they are quite expensive. They're known for creative flavors, but creative does not mean it tastes good. The famous Blueberry Bourbon Basil donut was so doughy and cakey (hard type), blueberry jam was too sweet and completely overpowered the subtle taste of bourbon and basil. The apple fritter was the same, just sweet, doughy, and nothing special. We also tried the Cointreau Crème Brûlée, it is a custard donut comes with an orange liqueur pipette. Because the blueberry donut completely lack of bourbon taste, we actually used that pipette to squeeze the liqueur into the blueberry donut. We had the coffee, they're just average, nothing special. Definitely a wrong choice I made.

    We visited Twisted Croissant to pick up some treats to tide us over on our drive back up to…read moreSeattle. Walking in less than an hour before closing, we were surprised to see most of the items still in stock! We ended up picking four things to try: Vanilla Bean Kouign Amann ($7) - This pasty has a sweet yet salty exterior that's complementary in flavor rather than clashing. It's accentuated with a crunchy glazed and caramelized sugar layer that's on the sweeter side. The interior is interesting. There's a cavernous gap right in the center that's filled with a sickly sweet melted sugar syrup. It's unpleasantly sweet and very cloying. The puffed and filled area is large enough that it compresses the other layers so the kouign amann is dense. I've never had a kouign amann quite this sweet before. (3/5) Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Thyme ($5.50) - This cake is so moist and rich, thick and dense, fatty and rich, that it feels like I"m eating a slab of butter. I'm sure it has just as many calories too! It's quite sweet, although not nearly to the level of the kouign amann. Overall, it's just a really rich and decadent cake. (4/5) Blueberry + Vanilla Cream Brioche Donut w/ Earl Grey ($6) - The top of the pastry is dressed with a cream that has an unmistakably strong bergomot earl grey taste. I wish there was way more cream - there's essentially only a dab on top! The rest of the donut is filled with a custardy light blueberry and vanilla jam. It's not too sweet and has an excellent high quality blueberry fragrance, creating an exceptionally strong blueberry taste. The jam is not too thick and is somewhat syrupy from sugar. The donut itself is really soft and extremely airy. It's the fluffiest donut I've eaten in a long time. (5/5) Raspberry Rose Cruffin ($8.50) - This pastry has some fun dehydrated raspberries sprinkled right on top of a light and fluffy cream that's not too sweet. The cruffin base is buttery in taste and great lamination even when filled with the custard and rose/raspberry cream. This is a heavy cruffin that's very filling. (5/5) Twisted Croissant certainly does some some really delectable treats. It's one of my favorite bakeries in Portland!
