Hawthorne

From the bridge all the way to Mount Tabor, Hawthorne Boulevard ambles across southeast Portland with a laid-back charm. Once a hippie haven, Hawthorne still has a counter-culture vibe — even with the few shiny, multi-story apartment buildings that have sprouted up recently. Walk past those, and you’ll find a funky collection of brunch spots, bars, vintage stores, the prerequisite coffee shop or two, and much more.

Any donut shop in Portland lives in the shadow of Voodoo Doughnuts, but most locals are quick to point out that Voodoo’s fare is much more style than substance. Blue Star (which also has a location downtown) brings a more nuanced approach to toroid breakfast snacks. The bright and clean shop offers a small selection of unique flavors like Bourbon Blueberry Bourbon & Basil, or Lemon Poppy Buttermilk. Definitely the place to go for Portland donuts.
