These were really great donuts. We had the Malasada and Buttermilk bar. Both were fresh and really delicious.

I tried this place for the first time and I was really pleased with their customer service. I loved the Boston donut and the apple pie one great as well not too sweet. The buttermilk one was a bit dry for me be maybe its supposed to go with something. Very reasonable prices. Ill be coming back.

Great tasting, hand made donuts. Regular, special and vegan. Donut palace has them all at a good price too! Try them!!

My boyfriend comes into Donut Palace at least once a week and buys a dozen assorted donuts. I mostly stick with the more plain flavors because Im the weird one who doesnt actually care for donuts much. I will admit that Donut Palaces donuts are pretty yummy, though. And the guy thats usually behind the counter is SO NICE.

The best place on the westside for vegans to get a donut fix every Saturday. So many great standard donut choices and a few unique ones too. Anyone that can make a delicious vegan Bavarian Creme donut is King in my book so this place is appropriately named. Just north of Hwy 26 at 185th. Open other days too, but fresh vegan donuts are on Saturdays. Get there early!

Vegan donuts on Saturday are truly spectacular and a huge variety. We bought two dozen for my spouses birthday celebration and got some extra birthday treats.Coffee is good, owners are really, really nice- and the place is wallpapered with appreciative art and letters from all the folks whose lives this place has brightened. Just a wonderful experience. I even like the boxes. You deserve a donut.Easy to find, ample parking.

These guys make some of the best donuts. You have to try the bare claw and fritters

The donuts are great, good selection, and they have vegan donuts as well (just Saturdays I think, check with them first). But what really stands out is the staff. They are so nice and helpful and sincerely care, I enjoy going here to support them.

Best donut shop in Hillsboro. Everything is fresh. Owner is very nice and their donut dough is so delightfully light and airy. A master at his craft. Try the chocolate glazed old fashioned, their Bavarian cream filled, or heck any of their glazed. Unassumingly amazing.

I went here for the Saturday vegan donut selection and was blown away by the variety, quality, and the customer service. I have been on an unofficial vegan donut tour of the Portland area for the last week and honestly have to say, these are some of the best. No frills or overpriced designer donuts here. Just quality donut shop style donuts, which is rare to find in the vegan donut scene around here. Think Dunkin’ Donuts meets locally owned and operated donut house. The variety was insane and the taste was amazing. The owner was so kind to everyone in there, and you can tell this place is beloved by the community. A really unique feel and it proves that sometimes simple is better. Will be back again on Saturdays for sure.

Best vegan doughnuts around, very compatible to Voodoo but they only have vegan options on Saturdays and often sell out of popular selections by noon.They offer some very interesting flavor options that you wont find anywhere else.

We love going here for our donuts. The baker is super friendly. He jokes with my daughter. Theres a good selection, even mod morning. Prices are on par with other establishments, but donuts are nice sized with a good amount of filling.

OMG these are fanTASTic donuts!The store itself is tiny, in a plaza off 185th and 26. Pretty sure it was the owner who greeted me. He was in the back, hard at work. What a delightful person!I had a pumpkin spice and talk about authentically delicious!Forget Voodoo. Forget Blue Star. If you live in the Tanasbourne area, “donut” miss out on this place!

VEGAN DONUTS!!! Only on Saturday 😉

This place sells very reasonably priced vegan donuts every Saturday, and occasionally on other days of the week. They are so delicious! The owner is so nice as well, I love coming here to support this business~ (as well as to satisfy my vegan sweet tooth)

Review №22

The doughnuts are about average, not overly good but not horrible either. I would say that some of the bars seemed a bit stale. Overall selection (during earlier parts of the day) seemed about average. Prices also seemed on par with other doughnut establishments. Do note that there is a $0.35 transaction fee when paying with credit cards.The professionalism of the staff could also be improved. The guy behind the counter spreads to have white doughnut powder on his clothing and around his mouth, as well as was not as friendly and welcoming. Also, despite their hours being open until 3 pm, I was informed that they often close early. Thus, inconsistent hours.

We used to live across the street from this location and Ive been CRAVING his donuts like crazy since we moved in March. My husband surprised me with a dozen at work this morning and I couldnt be happier! I normally share but not this time: Im keeping all 12 delicious donuts to myself. Thank you, Donut Palace, for being there for us all!

Do yourself a favor and get some vegan donuts from Donut Palace! They are much better than Voodoo and less oily than Doe. The selection on Saturday cannot be beat 💕

Absolutely the best local donuts. Skip the chains or frilly gimmicky trendy down town tourist trap that rhymes with to do and get your donut fix right here. Friendly mom and pop service too.

Review №44

I was really excited for this place, but was sorely disappointed. I’m honestly surprised it doesn’t have lower reviews. While the apples in the me fritter definitely tasted fresh, it was burnt to the point where it tasted faintly of charcoal. My chocolate bar was over frosted and rather dense and chewy. The buttermilk bar had uncooked dough in the middle and chunks of unmixed flour. Not worth the hype.

Review №45

This is my favorite doughnut shop of all time- very clean, I feel safe there. They have AMAZING vegan doughnuts on Saturdays(I wish they had them all week, I’m often working Saturdays!), brought my non-vegan friend there and they were surprised at how good they were. The doughnuts are perfectly sweet and fluffy! I really love how sweet the staff is, and how welcoming it feels. This place is a gem! Definitely go here.

The donuts were just on the crispy side how I like them! I miss this so much. And the gentleman working was friendly and patient. It was fun to watch him with a young child who came in behind me and help her select and joke with her.

Review №51

The vegan donuts on Saturdays are excellent. The traditional raised yeast donut style is my favorite and Donut Palace has a big variety of flavors, especially if you get there early. I prefer these to the more expensive and trendy artisanal donuts available elsewhere in town. Cant go wrong with vegan Boston Cream, Maple bars, apple fritters, several types of jelly donuts, as well as old fashioned with or without frosting. (If youre a vegan who likes Ronalds Donuts in Las Vegas -and who doesnt?- youll love these donuts, too.) The gentleman who owns this shop is always very friendly and welcoming. We make the trip from southeast Portland every chance we get.

We had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did. The customer service was amazing! The gentleman that helped us had that personal touch and made it an awesome experience.

Review №57

The donuts were awesome they were light theyre fluffy. The only thing is that theyre vanilla cream thats just doesnt taste as good as lets say Sesame Donuts or Krispy Kreme. Its missing something like its not as smooth and creamy.. it just tastes very manufactured I guess is what Im saying. The service is great and they dont have a large selection of types of donuts but what they have is pretty good. I just wish they would use a little bit more frosting or decorations. The Donut Stop however as I said is pretty phenomenal

Review №61

Out of the way drive for me but well worth it! Heard about vegan Sunday offerings, so had to check it out. So many choices that day, much more than the better known PDX donut shops that offer a few vegan varieties, if that. Warm and friendly place, and what a charismatic, down to Earth owner. As soon as he heard I was a first-timer, he immediately offered me a free donut on the house to try! Plain glazed, oh man! Soft, sweet and yummy. Coconut, maple, jelly filled, fritters, I could go on. I gained 5 pounds from the bakery smells alone😛 The line kept building while I was there. Went about 10-ish in the morning and the vegan racks were about half-way gone, so go early. And plenty for everyone else. Twice as many, if not more, regular donut varieties on display. Like many others there, did a lot of smiling in that donut shop, and not just when I walked out with my dozen. (Mine!) Worth the drive and the calories! Ill be a repeat offender for sure! 🍩🍩🍩

This place is awesome. The donuts are delicious. They are fluffy and sweet but not that overkill kind of sweet. A wonderful balance. We have yet to go in person, but one day we fully intend too. We already know the staff are awesome from just a small communication is the DoorDash notes. A big thanks to them for their kindness.

Review №87

The donuts were decent. Blueberry buttermilk was spot on, loved the bear claw, soft good filling good size, glaze fell off easy making a mess but delicious. The chocolate glaze fell off in sheets from the Boston creme. The gentleman at the counter was blunt but not rude, just didnt seem to care on this given Sunday. I dont particularly care for Krispy Kreme but theyre not far... I enjoy donuts everywhere I can and love new places but this was not one Ill make a repeat visit to...

Review №97

Donut Palace is by far the best place to get vegan donuts. The owners are the nicest people ever, always welcoming, friendly and just overall really great people. I truly believe no one would tell that these are vegan donuts; they are simply delicious traditional donuts that taste light, soft and fluffy and with very generous tasty glazes and fillings. The boston cream and the vanilla coconut macaroon are my favourites, but every donut weve tried from here has been so good. Seriously this place is so awesome and they dont up-charge for the vegan donuts, which just makes them even more great for not taking advantage of people with food or allergy restrictions by charging more. Ive stopped even wanting to go to the other donut shops around town because I just want to support Donut Palace for being awesome and providing the best donuts and for the best prices in town.
