The 10 Best Donut Shops in Portland (2026)
Portland’s donut scene mixes long-standing neighborhood counters with newer, niche spots across the city’s quadrants. This list is built from Google reviews and updated for 2026, using a Bayesian-style score that weights average rating by review count so both high scores and review volume matter. We focused on places listed in Google as donut shops or bakeries and let the data determine the ordering. Think of this as a practical, review-driven snapshot of where Portlanders have been leaving their ratings and why those numbers put certain shops near the top.
This ranking is computed from Google reviews (our method). Listings marked Partner are paid advertising spots: they sit alongside the ranking without changing its order.

Frequently asked questions
How did you determine these rankings?
We used Google review data and a Bayesian-style score that weights a business’s average rating by how many reviews it has. That approach helps balance a perfect average with the reliability that comes from more reviewers; the list was updated for 2026.
What should I check before going to a donut shop?
Look at recent Google reviews and photos, confirm hours on the shop’s listing, and check if they accept cards or have limited payment options. If you need seating or parking, the listing and reviews often note those practical details.
When should I call ahead or place an order?
Call ahead or order online if you’re planning to pick up a large quantity, want a specific item, or are visiting during peak morning hours and weekends. Many shops limit special orders or sell out of popular items, so advance contact reduces the chance of disappointment.
How much do donuts typically cost in Portland?
Prices vary by shop, style, and whether items are specialty or standard, but individual donuts are commonly priced in an affordable range typical for casual breakfast or snack items. Check menus online or call the shop for current pricing, combo options, and any minimums for bulk orders.
