Voodoo Doughnut

Voodoo Doughnut is an independent doughnut shop in Portland, Oregon. It is located at 22 SW 3rd Avenue, in Old Town.It is known for its unusual and experimental doughnut recipes, vegan doughnuts, all-night hours, and Voodoo-themed decor. In a departure from standard doughnut store practice, they will also perform fully legal weddings or civil union ceremonies, complete with doughnuts and coffee for the reception.

Voodoo Doughnut is also known for its Swahili lessons, given on Monday nights at 9 p.m.Some of their more famous doughnuts are the Tex-Ass doughnut, the bacon-topped maple bar, the cream-filled Cock-n-Balls doughnut, as well as their signature Voodoo Doughnut: a gingerbread-shaped doughnut, with a pretzel stabbed through its abdomen and red jelly "blood" filling.

Voodoo is open 24 hours a day Monday through Saturday and closed from 2 p.m. Sunday through 6 a.m. on Monday. They also deliver in the downtown Portland area.

To celebrate their 5th anniversary, Voodoo Doughnut opened a second location at 1501 NE Davis Street. The store began a "soft opening" on Friday, May 30, 2008 with limited hours. Their official opening will happen later in June 2008.cite web | url=http://blogtown.portlandm.com/2008/05/voodoo_doughnuts_to_open_new_s.php | title=Voodoo Doughnuts To Open New Shop | publisher=Portland Mercury | date=2008-05-21 | accessdate=2008-06-03] cite web | url=http://www.oregonlive.com/foodday/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/living/121242934633280.xml&coll=7 | title=In the Mix, FOODday | publisher=The Oregonian | date=2008-06-03 | accessdate=2008-06-03]
