Raised yeast doughnut filled with raspberry jelly topped with chocolate frosting and a pretzel stake.
Voodoo Doughnut, Portland OR
When your friend and even the hotel bartender tell you that Voodoo is OVERRATED, you should really listen! Unfortunately, I fell for the hype and got deservedly burned.
The donuts were a huge letdown. The dough was nothing special and actually unevenly cooked, and the frostings were at a sweetness level only fit for little kids. There is absolutely no finesse with these donuts and are definitely not worth the atrocious wait and disinterested service. Fail!

This is how I felt about Geno’s in Philadelphia. Why anyone eats there is beyond me. Worst Philly cheese-steak I’ve ever had. Too bad Voodoo Doughnuts seems to suffer the same over-hyped problem.

I wish I had known! Next time. 😉
What a shame! It’s such a great concept. If only more effort was put in to make them good.
I hated it so much! I’m always so confused why crappy places get so much hype.
That’s my line
Been there done that. I won’t go back either. Too many other great bakeries in town.
Amen!
That’s cool
Don’t do it! There are better bakeries without the long lines! 🙂
Like the famous Leonard’s bakery here in Honolulu!
But I will say that the malasadas were SO much better than these crappy donuts!
Oh… You know about Leonard’s bakery! Are you from hawaii?
No, but I’ve visited Hawaii a couple times and like stopping by Leonard’s for fresh malasadas. 🙂
