People line Colfax to get their mitts on the delicious and sometimes far-out creations made at this Portland-based shop: doughnuts topped with strips of bacon, Froot Loops or bubble gum. Classic doughnuts – plain, glazed, powdered – are also sold but it's way more fun to order an Old Dirty Bastard (topped with chocolate frosting, Oreos and peanut butter). Cash only.
