Budgeting three hours in Portland on the way to Seattle for a wedding, we had time for only two stops. The first was
Voodoo Doughnut, a shop known as much for its ambience as its fare. With three locations in Portland we didn't expect a line on late Friday morning.
We were wrong. There was a wait, made more prolonged by a couple of large orders served in a coffin.
A father of two young daughters, both of whom clearly were familiar with the store, told us which doughnut was the best for first-timers.
He named the Voodoo Doll ("raised yeast doughnut filled with raspberry jelly topped with chocolate frosting and a pretzel stake"), so we bought two.
The doughnuts were indeed fresh but a little too sweet for my taste.
I'm glad we visited but won't be stopping by again when we head home in three days.
