Description

Annie's Donuts operates at the intersection of 72nd Avenue, Fremont Street, [3] and Sandy Boulevard in northeast Portland's Roseway neighborhood. [4] [5] According to Eater Portland , the family-operated, "diner-like" [3] shop has a "nostalgic" interior reminiscent of the 1950s. Doughnut varieties include old-fashioned, devil's food cake, [6] and the Butterfly, which has chocolate and peanut butter. [7] Other pastries include chocolate-covered and custard-filled bismarks, buttermilk bars, cream cheese flips, cruellers, apple and raspberry fritters, [8] and a whipped cream puff. [9] [10] Annie's also sells donut holes. [11]

History

Annie's was established in 1988. [12]

Reception

Michael Russell ranked Annie's eighth overall in The Oregonian 's 2018 overview of Portland's best doughnut shops. [13] The business was included in Time Out Portland 's 2019 list of the city's twelve best doughnuts. [8] Janey Wong included Annie's in Eater Portland's 2023 list of twelve "remarkable" restaurants in Roseway and Rose City Park. [11] In the website's 2024 overview of the city's "most delicious" doughnuts, writers described Annie's as a "cult favorite among Portland's classic doughnut purists" and opined: "The pale blonde fry at Annie's highlights the not-too-sweet glazes and toppings. If there's a peanut butter butterfly in the case, grab it before it's gone; it tends to sell out." [6]

Portland Monthly has called the doughnuts "modest and manageable" and said, "while the display case might look a bit drab at first, the glazed or cream-filled doughnuts within are never disappointing: they're what Romantic philosopher Matthew Arnold would call 'sweetness and light.' In other words, everything a culture should strive for." [14] In 2017, Craig Dorfman included the whipped cream puff in the Portland Mercury 's overview of the city's best doughnuts and said Annie's had Portland's best maple bar. [9] The shop has also been referenced in biking and walking tours of the city. [15] [16]
