"Voodoo Doughnut is a microcosm of Portland as a whole, boasting both the ordinary and the offbeat, both welcoming and unfamiliar to the newbie. You don't have to be adventurous when you walk into Voodoo Doughnut, but honestly, I'd recommend being open to something new - chances are, you'll be pleasantly surprised."
"My ranking is, admittedly, based on my own donut preferences - I favored donuts that weren't too cloying, had a moist and tender crumb, and I gave some preference to unique flavors or those that surprised me."
"Though I never seek them out, I do like snacking on the occasional pack of M&Ms, and I thought this donut would get a higher spot here - after all, it's just a donut topped with a copious amount of M&Ms. Unfortunately, sweet-on-sweet combos are not usually my thing, and Marshall Mathers is a sugar-rush donut if there ever was one."
Voodoo Doughnut stands as a Portland landmark and tourist destination that embodies the city's character through its mix of conventional and unconventional offerings. Since its 2003 founding, the shop has expanded significantly beyond Oregon to locations in Colorado, Texas, Illinois, and other states. A reviewer sampled 19 Voodoo Doughnut flavors at the flagship location, ranking them based on personal preferences for donuts that avoid excessive sweetness, feature moist and tender crumbs, and offer unique or surprising flavor profiles. The Marshall Mathers donut, topped with M&Ms and icing, ranked lower due to its overwhelming sweetness, though it appeals to those who enjoy candy-topped iced donuts.
