Favorite donut place in the greater Portland area by FAR. Let me tell you... I'm like Homer Simpson. If there's a donut to be had, I've had it. I've judged it. Joe's always delivers. Highly recommend the blueberry fritter, glazed pershing, or any of the jelly filled. If you've considered coming here enough to look it up on yelp, just go. You won't regret it! (the T-shirts are phenomenal too) read more

Quick stop before our hike on Saturday! We are staying in the airBnB near Sandy and found the famous donut shop in town, Joe's donut There was a line when we got there Saturday morning but they were quick to serve so we didn't really have to wait for a long time. Our whole family enjoyed their donuts and especially kids loved it! I liked how they decorated outside and inside! Everyone in town knows where Joe's donut is located. read more

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of this place, but had to check it out for myself on my way to Mount Hood. My husband and I got an apple fritter, cronut, maple bar, and cinnamon twist. The donuts tasted fine (apple fritter had the best flavor) but all of the donuts were extremely doughy and undercooked. Like when you bit into it, the donut just flattened into nothing. Unfortunate because I feel like they have potential to be really good if they just worked on their baking. Probably won't be back anytime soon, but if you're on your way to the mountain and in need of some cheap donuts, they'll do the job. read more

Joe's Donut Shop - Extremely doughy and undercooked maple bar - Donuts Near Me - Sandy, Oregon

If Joe's is anywhere close to where we're going, adding a stop is a must! Stopping at any other donut place feels like punishment! The staff is courteous, fast and helpful. You just can't beat the quality of their pastries. If you get there when there isn't a line out the door, you'd better stop whether you need it or not! read more

Delish!! There is a good variety of donuts to choose from, even cronuts! The service is very quick and polite. I ordered and got everything bagged up in less than 5 minutes, even with the afternoon rush line outside the door. This is a cute quiet mom and pop shop. The parking is small so be prepared to walk. :) read more

Yummy, crispy and chewy at the same time, and oh so fresh. First time here. I'll be back, Joe.

How can you not like a family donut shop in Sandy on your way up the mountain? Coffee, and fresh donuts? They even had cake pops. Favorites include crullers, bacon maple bars and any fritters. Always a line but with two registers it goes fast. Only a few tables but most people grab and go. Thank you for being a fun stop! read more

Any time we cross the mountain and pass through Sandy, we MUST stop and buy more than we should (they're that good!). THE best blueberry fritters I've ever tasted! read more

Yes, the interior could do with a remodel but people buy that buy donuts don't usually go into places for the ambiance, they go for the donuts. These Donuts are pretty good and at a reasonable price. If you like donuts, go! read more

It's a Sandy area must go! Small little shop doing what they do best, donuts. The simple cake donut was not my favorite I have had, yet the fritters are high in my list. Try the blueberry- you will thank me later. Looking forward to trying more when in the area. read more

I am a fat'n happy guy...and apparently I'm destined to stay that way thanks to this unexpected gem all the way out in Sandy. I mean wow, they're some of the best I've ever had anywhere...ever! I discovered them last week, and I've already been back twice! I can't wait to take my fat ass brother from Alaska to Joes when he visits next! Damn! (Stomps foot) This place'll blow your socks off! read more

We stopped in today on our way Sunriver. They close at 5:00 and we got there at 4:52! The guy working there, possibly the owner, was super friendly. It's a really cute place and the donuts are phenomenal! We will definitely be by on our way home. , read more

They're good donuts! And cheap too. I think what I appreciate most about Joe's is the "small town" store feel: it's got a unique look, they've been around for decades, employees are friendly without being over the top, they're fair about prices, they decorate for every holiday, etc. Pull off the road as you pass through Sandy, you probably won't regret one of these sweet treats to fuel you up before or after your Mt Hood activities. read more

We live this place and always stop by when we're anywhere near Sandy. Sometimes even when we're not near Sandy. Try the Cronuts. Amazing croissant/ donut and the cinnamon roll with maple frosting is also a favorite in our house read more

The locals and frequent travelers to Mt. Hood love this doughnut shop. There is always a line out the door. Lots of campers buy the doughnuts by the dozens, choosing several varieties. Prices are far better than those fancy doughnut shops in Portland. These are your basic doughnuts - cake and yeast - both are delicious. I got the Boston Cream, but I think they call it something different. It's a yeast doughnut with vanilla cream inside and the top is dipped in dark chocolate. It is very sweet so definitely get a cup of coffee to cut the richness. I prefer the basic cake doughnut. Either the plain, cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar. They are small, half the size of the others, but they are dense and filling. Look for the red and white checkerboard building as you drive through Sandy heading up to Mt. Hood. read more

Reasonably priced sweet pre-hike snack! Friendly staff and line moves fairly quick. A few tables to sit at inside but seems more like a grab and go type spot. read more

Joe's Donut Shop - The options! - Donuts Near Me - Sandy, Oregon

First time here! Ambiance- it's definitely an older store front. There's I believe a couple tables and some chairs. Atmosphere- it's a little hole in the wall, the staff are friendly and they seem to work pretty hard to put our fast and friendly service to customers. They're also just super sweet! The gal that helped us was nice! Price- it's pretty decent. They have an assortment of donuts to pick from, soda to drink, milk with other flavored milk. I tried their maple bar- it was so good! It had a great ratio of sweet and savory. The gal had just put fresh maple frosting on it so I literally ate the whole donut while getting into the car- it was that good. Probably the best one I've had ever! I'd pick them over Voodoo 100% Thanks again! read more

Awesome little donut shop. Despite its huge reputation, it still manages to feel like a small town gem. As soon as you walk inside, it smells like pure sugar. A huge variety of flavors of donuts, and other options like coffee, sandwiches, etc. Reasonably priced for a small business. Only complaint is that the place is way too popular and there was a line nearly out the door - I didn't want to have to wait. And that's more a testament to the quality. There are a few tables and chairs inside, but we took ours to go and enjoy while walking. read more

It's a typical small donut shop, with a one counter display case and drink coolers off to the side. They do serve coffee in the buffet style pump containers. Serving is quick and nice. Donuts are a hit or miss, anything berry filled or mixed-in are great. The cake donuts are good (fresh) and the cruller donut is a miss. The chocolate covered and cream filled donuts are good. I would say it's an average donut. read more

I love their donuts! I can't imagine someone not liking them! I love that donut shop and I know quite a few friends who love it too! 2 thumbs up for Joes. read more

My kids and I have been coming here a good 20 years. 62 year-old native here. The morning lady is always nice to me, but she's super busy. Maybe you came in alone but by time you turn around and head for the door, 8 more folks just came in! Obviously a major local favorite! Great stop on the way up Mt. Hood! They are always busy throughout their open hours. Their donuts are a delight, even better than the old Winchells on 39th and Holgate. The prices are very reasonable and, Voodoo Donuts has nothing on this donut shop! If you're not hungry now, buy a few for later in the day! You won't be sorry... read more

Can't miss the red and white exterior! Great Doughnuts! Lots of choices. Mmm the fritters Service was quick, interior is serviceable but that's it. read more

I bought a cherry and an apple fritter. They were so good, as they always are. Love Joe's.

Best maple bars around. Lines are usually really long in the winter with all the mountain travel so get there early or late.

Usually their donuts are so good but I bought 1 today and after the 1st bite I realized it wasn't cooked fully. The dough was stretchy. Grossed me out. I went inside and got a replacement. (Asking the cashier to make sure I got something that was completely cooked.) As soon as I tore it open and looked inside I realized this donut wasn't cooked completely either. Ugh! read more

Joe's has great donuts and fair prices. Worth the stop in Sandy on your way to ski or hike on Mt Hood.

This place was recommended to us by a local. I had the best Apple fritter I've ever had. It was so fresh. The place is legit and the workers are artists. read more

Overall, I would give Joe's 5-stars, because they make some quality donuts, with a decent variety of options. We tried about 5 different donuts when we went in, and found the cherry fritters and their cake donuts to be exceptional. I'm normally an apple fritter guy, but their cherry version was way better than their apple (I've had better apple fritters in the Portland area). The other donut varieties we had were all good, but those were the most memorable. It seemed strange that all their indoor tables were closed off when we were there around 11:00 AM, but I suppose they could have had staffing issues or something. We were getting ours to go anyway, so it really didn't matter. read more

So went on vacation to Pine Hollow on the backside of the mountain this summer and on our way back, we stopped here at Joe's donut shop. The donuts were very fresh and absolutely delicious. It's a small shop, but was very busy. There was literally cars stopped directly in traffic right out in front so people could get out of the car and go inside because the parking lot was full and there was a line inside that we had to wait in. I thought something special might be going on, but it was just an average day I guess. can't wait to go back and get some more when I drive through Sandy next time. read more

They have the best cherry fritters and all kinds of amazing donuts! I do not live in Sandy but visit there roughly once a year. Joe's is a must go whenever I am in town read more

Classic spot, open super early and no frills local place :) Love it and the cake donut, awesomeness. Also prices are still normal, with all this inflation going on it's nice to get a donut for $1 Gotta check this place out on the way to snow bunny or up to timberline, you can't miss it! read more

Joe's Donut Shop - Cake donut - Donuts Near Me - Sandy, Oregon

We were finally able to stop by and grab some donuts on our way up. Stopped on Sunday night, around 3:30...as expected, there wasn't a huge selection left from which to pick. But, we were able to find 6 to try. -2 blueberry -2 old fashioned - 2 cinnamon sugar cake All of the donuts were good, but the icing on the blueberry and old fashioned is a tad sweet for my taste. Since the cinnamon sugar didn't have the icing it was my favorite. I'd give Joes 3 stars...good donuts...just maybe a tad sweet for some. If the crumb had been a tad less dense and the icing a smidge less sweet they'd be a 4 star for sure. I'd definitely be willing to stop by and try some more next time I'm heading up the mountain. read more

Joe's is a staple of our trips to Government Camp for ski camp in the summer. AND our family is donut snobs. What makes Joe's so good? I'm actually not too sure. They're a small shop in a small town and will have a line at any time they're open. Donuts are made fresh daily, but we have had leftovers from ordering a dozen for our family of 4, that we enjoyed for a couple days. Are they our favorite donut? No. But they get high praise from us! The other great thing, is the price! We live in Seattle and I know the cost of living is high in our area. Here at Joe's I'm able to get a variety dozen for only $11. You can just get one donut too. Joe's has a small eat-in area and no outdoor seating except the park behind the shop. read more

Your good old donut shop on the wait to the mountain! Driving up we saw a large queue outside so that was a sign we had to stop on our way down if they were still open. Fortunately they're open 4AM-5PM (wait whaaat!?) Couple parking lot spots near the shop and even in the afternoon there was still a queue. Always a good sign when there are lines outside of places that don't take crazy long. There were ~4 groups in front of us but we got in the door and out the door within 10 mins. During Covid they have plexiglass to separate the staff and case from those ordering. They had two cashiers as well which helped the line go quickly. We ended up getting the flavors below: + Powdered cake donut + Marionberry jelly filled donut + Old Fashioned + Maple Bar + Blueberry fritter My favorite flavors have to be the powdered cake donut and blueberry fritter for their textures. The maple bar is a solid option as well and was airy. You can't go wrong with an old fashioned as well. All donuts came out to less than $6. Definitely much more affordable than some of the other donut shops in Portland, but flavors are more on the classic side. Got them later in the afternoon so would be keen to get them fresh out of the fryer to get the warm glaze and crispiness of the dough. read more

What happened? This used to be the spot everyone raved about. We went today and everything has changed. We got like 5 different kinds of donuts and they were all meh. We took a couple bites of each and tossed the rest. The apple fritter was sad as mentioned in another review. Taste and texture poor on all. Apparently they don't believe in boxes anymore either and we had to juggle 5 bags of individual donuts to the car. Donut Barn in Gresham (or yes even from a grocery store) is much better. read more

We were excited to check out this donut shop and stopped by on a Sunday noticing a line out the door. We definitely expected a great experience. We were wrong. First we noticed the back door completely open and flies, bees and other flying bugs everywhere, inside the display case, all over the rack of donuts behind the display case as well. At first I was going to leave, but decided to be adventurous. The gentleman in front of us was a priest and very sweet. When he went to the counter to order, the cashier was rude and short with him. He was so pleasant, I could not believe how he was treated. He ordered and she basically threw the donuts in a bag. Our turn, we were super sweet trying to get a smile out of the girl. Nope, rude, short with us and threw our 2 donuts in a bag. Oh, flying bugs everywhere. We took bites of the bottom of the donuts and it was good. Then threw the rest of the bug infested pieces away. I really don't know why the health department hasn't shut them down. Flying bugs everywhere and it wasn't really clean overall. Keep driving when you see this sign, you won't miss anything. read more

Pandemic measures they are enforcing: They put up plexiglass barriers on the counter where you order. 1 -2 customers can order at a time, with 1 additional customer being allowed in line inside, at a distance. The outside line was self respecting about a 6ft distance between groups and most were wearing masks correctly. Masks are mandatory inside. The plexiglass can make communication a little tough but we managed through it. It was a little odd when we went to use touch pay - the system only charged us a partial amount of the bill to the card, so we had to give them cash for the rest. The regular coffee was solid and you can choose from regular or french vanilla creamer. The white sugar is in a glass dispenser. My cousin really enjoyed her blackberry mocha. The apple fritters are ridiculously amazing. With good size pieces of real apple, a sweet glaze on the outside, and tender dough in the middle. The maple bar was also very good. read more
