So, I was craving doughnuts and coffee. Decided to try this place since it's the closest doughnut shop to me. I was greeted by some friendly young ladies. They were kind of busy so I let them take the next customers so I could make up my mind. When I finally made up my mind and headed to the register the nice young lady rings me up and before she can even had me my change back the rude older Asian lady basically pushes her aside and starts to ring up others customers. I had to reach over their doughnuts just to get my box. Now, I have worked in customer service for 10 years and I found that very rude to the point I will not return because of her actions. The three stars are for the awesome young ladies that have to deal with her. read more

They have a lot to choose from (at least in my opinion),so I had a hard time choosing what I wanted and ended up getting 6 different products. Everything was fresh and flavourful. Good prices (7$ for 6 items) & location. Who cares if the interior takes you to the 70's or 80's---it's quite unique these days & if some donuts do not looks exactly the same or if something is not spread evenly---that's what happens when things are handmade and not mainstream...the flavour is there regardless. Me and my husband are their new loyal customers. read more

Love Love Love this place. Great donuts, customer service. The staff always friendly. There always some people getting donuts here. A great place read more

Donuts aren't bad. Not a whole lot of selection for being called "donut world" Disappointing on the selection side. Donuts are yummy but I'm not a huge fan of the dough.... I'm just used to a airy fluffy donut. It's a little heavy and chewy here but the flavors are pretty much there. Service was very friendly and helpful. Prices are a bit high. Change the name to something a little less promising and I'll add a star hahahahahaha read more

Have lived in the Gresham area for years, but never got around to going to Donut World. When I finally did, I found out I wasn't missing much. The person who was working the counter was very rude and made it clear that it was a huge inconvenience to wait on me. Gee, I thought employees were paid to actually work! read more

Walking into the shop everything smelled super yummy. Although there was a large variety to choose from, presentation wasn't great. The donuts were oddly shaped (non uniform), and the frosting wasn't evenly spread and not nearly enough for how thick the bar was. The filling was very flavorful, but the chocolate glaze was a thin drizzle. They taste better than they look, but they're about the same as a donut from the bakery window of the mainstream grocery shop. Good donut, could use improvements. read more

So many good donuts! The buttermilk is extra delicious. Went in at 2pm on a Saturday and they still had an abundant selection. read more

Delicious donuts! Double chocolate and maple for me!! Everything is a great option! Great service!

Nice folks but poor donuts. Even in the morning they taste like they are two days old. Hard and bready, not much filing. Never moist, always dry and bland. read more

Classic local donut shop. Small dining area but folks are usually in and out fast. Its only donuts afterall. Good donuts, fair price, friendly staff. You feel apart of the communuty eating here. read more

Always fresh and large selection of doughnuts. Their apple fritters are the best, but don't buy any because I want more for me!

First, I'm giving them 4 stars and not 5 ONLY because nobody's perfect but these donuts are darn close. Try the cream filled croissant. To. Die. For. The buttermilk bars and cinnamon twists are tender and tasty. Our favorite donut shop in Portland. Hands down. You're missing out if you pass this one up. read more

Best donuts in Oregon, hands down. They make crullers on Fridays. They are the eighth wonder of the world ... donut perfection.

I never write reviews but this donut shop is the best one I've been to in Portland. I'm not really a fan of donuts but the donuts here are amazing. It's not too sweet and very soft. Highly recommend! read more

See all

Yummilicious. :) Too close, too good, sweet tooth, saved by them, Anytime to chose over voodoo. read more

These donuts will not disappoint you! I've been coming here for years! My mom used to take me here and this place has become a family tradition on the weekends for my kids too! My kids love them! It's a cute little barn building and they are old fashioned and have friendly staff. If you're in Gresham you need to try their donuts! read more

Been buying donuts from this place for years. Quality is good, but the staff is TERRIBLE (Not the owners). Today I was threatened that the police would be called to arrest me and the CDC would charge me with not being 6 feet apart while in line. Hire better people. read more

Their donuts are light and fluffy and their staff is really nice, I would just sit there and stuff my face with their donuts all day.

Absolutely fantastic doughnut shop. Totally reminds me of shops back east. Not pretentious, inexpensive, & absolutely delicious! Doughnuts should not be an expensive outing. This place keeps it simple & it really shines! I bought a dozen glazed doughnut holes & a large coffee for less than $3, yes $3!! They are all about the doughnut & they do it very well. You won't find any Oreos or Captain Crunch here, but you will find some of the most traditional & delicious doughnuts in the state. They have all of the classics & a few surprises. Can't recommend this place enough. I would go way more often if it wasn't so far away from me. Go now, you will not be disappointed!! read more

Ok, I'm going against the crowd here, but this place doesn't quite do it for me. First time today, and likely last. It is a neat place--no doubt. In a town with nothing but a Dunkin, it would beat in most categories. Presentation is good, the lady at the counter super nice, and the window on their production area is worth seeing. Glass case full of super huge doughnuts, but $12.95 dz is rich for a mediocre neighborhood shop that's in Gresham & hasn't been on TV. Raised/small dz $8.95, mixed dz $11.95. The giant Persians and cinna twists look nice and chewy, but they were disappointingly dry. My wife said the buttermilk bar was dry too, and wondered if it was cooked the day before (I got these at 9am Sat). The Bavarians are better than a lot, but fell short in a key way. Good chewy dough and homemade custard! It's a big doughnut, though, and the scant chocolate icing made taste like a giant flavorless dough ball. My 10 yr old, who loves doughnuts, only ate one bite of his chocolate iced glazed. He said it tasted "sour". The dough does have a distinctive taste that another reviewer considered a feature. Not sourdough-bread sour, but maybe buttermilk sour. Some may like it, but my 10 yr old did not approve, and I'm not sure it thrills me either. So 12 bucks later, my fam is looking at a huge box of huge nice looking doughnuts, but wishing I went someplace else. We've not hit all the places in town yet. The one on Alberta is quite good. Voodoo...overpriced and usually stale or disgustingly sweet and confused, though I have had a couple plain glazed that I got lucky with. Blue Star downtown...$3 ea for a hipster-made gourmet. Interesting once in a while. Favorite so far probably Honey Jar Thai restaurant on Sandy. Weird, but good fresh and tasty doughnuts for $8.95 dz. Nothing to see there, like the novelty of seeing doughnuts made at Donut World, but wife says buttermilk bars are huge and moist, and other types were well regarded by the kids. Happy doughnut hunting! read more

I almost stuttered when I found out the price! Been going to fancy places too long! $3.35 for 2 doughnuts and a coffee. I LOVE IT! Good doughnuts, large selection, Fast and friendly. We'll be going here from now on! read more

Donuts are so delicious. I have been coming this place over 10 years although I live sw Beaverton area. Friendly service and feel like home. Must try Boston Cream donut at this place. read more

Fresh and delicious every time I got the Boston Cream and the donuts were large moist and full of cream. Go check this place out if your tired of eating dry day old pastri read more

Great buttermilk bars. Friendly staff. OK prices and a nice variety.

Great staff. Love their donuts. It's the same as everywhere else but something about getting it here makes me appreciate them more.

bought donuts there this morning and meh nothing special. The fillings taste like the ones you can get from cash and carry no homemade fillings and taste like pre done frozen dough. Nothing super great doubt I'll be back. read more

So glad I finally stopped here!! Amazing looking donuts immediately got my attention and then saw the prices, low! Very impressed by the size of the donuts. Not a huge variety but definitly creative selection. Friendly service and clean establishment. read more

So so so good here. I love everything I get. And everyone there is so extremely nice. It's been open for quite some time and I hope it continues to stay open. By far the best donuts I've had. read more

Loved them. Until we got my daughter a jelly filled. It contained MSG. Im guessing its in the jam they use. My daughter is sensitive to it and her face had a reaction. No longer a fan. read more

Nice folks but when you go in at 7-8am they don't have any donuts left. Their donuts are also a bit heavy and dense, not fluffy and super tasty. read more

Best donuts in the world! This is clearly the best donut choice in Portland and there are a lot of choices, but don't be stupid make the right choice. read more

Sweet little go to place for our family. The donuts are consistently fresh and the staff is typically cordial, at times very friendly and welcoming. Even when there is a line it is always manageable. The atmosphere offers a sweet diner feel. We will always come here for our donut needs read more

My wife and I were very disappointed with the Apple and the Cherry Fritters. It brought to mind the Clara Pellar commercials for Wendy's where she exclaimed "Where's the Beef", because we couldn't find any fruit in the Fritters! However, the cake type doughnuts were good, so we raising our rating by 2 Stars. read more

Always very clean, a great variety of donuts. Donuts are fresh with real fruit ingredients. You are required to spend a five dollar minimum of using a card. Prices are reasonable. Quick service. read more

They have cherry fritters and cherry cake donuts, so good! No other donut shop has these. We hit up Donut World whenever we are in the area.

I have been going to Donut World for 30 years! Absolutely the BEST Applesauce cake donuts in the world! I have had EVERY Applesauce cake donut anywhere I can find them and NOTHING compares!! read more

I went in the morning and ordered a chocolate glazed donut. It was warm and soft, the chocolate glaze was perfect to the pallete.

Donuts are always made fresh. Love the original glaze. Employees are nice and friendly. One of the top places to get donuts.

small over priced medium quality donuts. the place smells better than they taste.

These are the best donuts. What I love most about them is that they don't leave that greasy coating on the roof of your mouth that most greasy donuts leave. Their maple bars are the very best and just as good tasting as they look. They don't seem to have a very big selection but the ones they do have are awesome. read more
