coco donuts — Restaurant in Portland

Went here today for the first time and will definitely be coming back! The space is very large so social distancing is not an issue and there is outside seating if you want to enjoy your coffee and donuts straight away. They’re in a great location- right on broadway so quite central but with lots street parking available in the neighborhood behind the store. There was a great assortment of Classic donuts, we went with a maple buttercream, chocolate glazed with coconut flakes, and a sugar coated raised donut. They were great, as was our coffee. As someone with a variety of allergies and intolerances, I was both thrilled and relieved to see that I was still able to partake in their fine selection of artisanal donuts. The person at the counter was friendly and very understanding of the fact that my dog was barking outside (she has separation anxiety and occasionally gets upset being tied up, after a few barks I went and stood with her to stop this), the cafe was warm and smelt great, and a steady flow of people coming through the doors made this place feel like a local favourite. There’s also lots of places to tie your dog up outside.

UPDATE JUNE 2021: We’ve lived in the neighbourhood for a few months now and Coco’s has become our go to donut shop, honestly this may be the best donut store in town. They just make great donuts without any fanfare, simple and tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the store is always clean and...

I ordered 130$ worth of coffee and donuts (2 carafes; 1 dozen deluxe and 1 dozen regular) on Friday to be ready for Tuesday at 730a. I walked in at 732a and there is a customer that is also grabbing 2 carafes of coffee. They’re almost done.

I’m told I’ll have to wait because mine aren’t ready yet. They haven’t even been started. It’s 740 and there’s only one person working. After waiting ten more minutes, the customer ahead of me thanks the person behind the counter as they leave and says “next time I’ll have to make an order!” So… was that my coffee?

I didn’t walk out of Coco Donuts until 825. What in the world is the point of making an order ahead of time to be ready for pick up only to wait an hour for it?

Barely a “sorry for the wait”, and no other explanation. Also received the smallest pittance of creamer and oat milk for 2-96oz carafes. I’m wildly disappointed in the...

My first donut stop in Portland, I can say that this location was a pleasant but ultimately unimpressive donut shop when considered in comparison to other donut shops in the city of roses.

I tried a few of the donuts here and a chai. Firstly, I would say that the chai was very good and sufficiently spiced, worth it. As for the donuts, they were sufficient, period. Good quality dough and icing, for the most part, but nothing really awesome. The cream-filled was also a bit over fried, giving it an overly decadent, rich character that distracted from the filling and making it a little nauseating.

If you're visiting Portland, I would suggest visiting other donut shops, named in different reviews, before...
