Before you order: For pizza or specific pastries, arrive with some flexibility: daily items can sell out. Whole pizzas and some menu categories have narrower service windows than the bakery itself.

Highlights: Vegan bakery, breakfast sandwiches, pizza, cupcakes, doughnuts and ice cream

Artisanal vegan doughnuts and ice cream

Doe Donuts is a vegan doughnut and ice-cream shop making its products from scratch with rotating seasonal flavors. It works well as a breakfast-style sweet stop, coffee break or dessert addition to a wider Portland food itinerary.

Before you order: Freshness is part of the concept and items can sell out. Earlier visits give you a better chance of seeing the wider daily selection.
