    Many selections!

    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.

    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)

    My family and I love joes donuts. We stop by here pretty frequently throughout the month. They have a very nice set of employees, I always enjoy socializing with them they always are super kind. There is seat inside and outside for your needs. As well as plenty of places to walk to after a stop at joes take your donut for a stroll and enjoy the city of Sandy. Thank you joes we always appreciate the service and intention put into your business !!! The donuts being very affordable for a ton of them is just a bonus !

    Extremely doughy and undercooked maple bar

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    I love this creation

    Great service, fun little setup and delicious donuts! Thank you for serving my family & I!

    Wow! Soooo good!

    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. ,

    What I got
    Sarah C.

    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.

    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.

    The options!
    Jill S.

    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.

    Store Front
    Ciarra L.

    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!

Shop can be busy but they move quickly. Their seasonal banana is always my favorite.

My first visit was on my birthday, so I got a free dozen doughnuts - such an amazing deal! The doughnuts are the perfect bite size, making it easy to sample a variety of flavors. I also love that they're more old-fashioned cake-style than light, yeasty doughnuts. My favorite flavor is the Raw Honey & Sea Salt. The flaky sea salt perfectly balances the sweetness. They rotate flavors often, but Raw Honey & Sea Salt and Cinnamon Sugar are always available. The chai flavors are also excellent, especially the King & I, inspired by Thai pandan tea. It's warm, lightly spiced, and packed with flavor. Consistently delicious, fun seasonal flavors, and always worth the stop. One of my favorite donut shops, hands down.

    Wow! I have heard…read morethat the burgers and fries here are good. That was an understatement! I ordered the hamburger with bacon combination. It was sizeable and yummy! The side I chose were onion rings. They were big and delicious! They even let me choose my bottled drink. I chose a bottle of Coca-Cola. Cold and refreshing on a hot day. It was in the 90s°F outside. It was nice to dine in, with cold A/C. My daughter ordered the bacon cheeseburger with an extra beef patty. I could tell she loved her burger because she was quietly devouring it. They even let her select the type of cheese she wanted, from the cheese options they have. What-what?!? Who does that? They do! She selected the fries. We were pleasantly surprised that they were crinkle fries. And the portion was generous. They were crisp and delicious. For dessert we had donuts. Always really good! If we had enough room in our tummies, we would have ordered ice cream too. After her burger, fries, bottle of Diet Coke, and donut, my daughter had her fill. We were both in a food coma. In a good way! The service was good. There was plenty of seating. Large parking lot. Best of all free parking. If you love burgers, fries, onion rings, sodas, donuts, and ice cream, you must go to Angel's Donuts by the mall. They're open late too. We WILL be back.
