    I'm craving a doughnut. Is this place worth the hype? If not, what is?

    I think they're good, especially the bacon maple bar, but definitely over-hyped.

    Thanks to the both of you. Appreciate the responses. Anyone else is welcome to reply.

    Krispy Kreme to me is overrated. I get a better quality donut at Safeway.

    Agree on the bacon maple bar - its a definite must. Not over-hyped, really just overpriced.

    maybe a littler over hyped and over priced but still a great doughnut. the bacon-maple bar is a must but my personal favorite is the ODB. a lot of other really good doughnuts in there as well.

    krispy kreme is the most over hyped doughnut ever. when they are fresh out of the fryer they are pretty good but there is nothing to them.

    I don't think Voodoo Doughnuts is overrated, over-hyped, or over priced. They are offering a quirky Portland experience and the doughnuts are just plain fun. I think what it comes down to is how long you want to wait in line for what they are offering. If the line is out the door I'm not going to wait, shortish line, and I'll have a McMinville Cream and a Maple Bacon Bar to go please!

    Some of their names they have for their donuts are not appetizing. And actually a turnoff.

    I think any doughnut shop is over hyped. Krispy Kreme? Over hyped. It's a doughnut.

    meh- get a maple bar from albertsons, put some bacon on it from home. Save yourself the hassle of standing in the hipster freakshow line @ Voodoo.
    its's a win win.

    I'd rather stand in the line than cook the bacon.

    Voodoo is okay; Krispie Kreme is not bad, but not really good unless absolutely fresh. Coco Donuts downtown and near PGE Park is much much better than both. Also, Donuts Plus on Cornell is pretty fantastic.

    Apprently I am familiar with many donut providers. Given my weight, it's not a surprise.
