I tried the cider donut here on a whim- thinking that it could in no way match up to the donuts that I'm used to- and it was fantastic. However, since I moved to California for two years before moving here, I have been missing my cider and donuts. Again, being from the midwest, it is a yearly tradition that I go to a cider mill every Fall. My bagel was even fresh and soft the next day! What impressed me the most was actually their apple cider donut. I especially loved the asiago cheese bagel I got (and, when I mentioned to my husband as we were leaving that I forgot we didn't have any cream cheese at home, the woman at the counter stopped us and gave me a small side of cream cheese to go! What a sweet thought!). I guess that means I can never move now! We got a half dozen donuts and one bagel, all of which were really great. This place definitely tops my favorite bagel place. My husband and I have just moved to town and I, being from the midwest, have been missing Dunkin' Donuts because I THOUGHT they had the best bagels. I even received a sample of the powdered ball donut. Service: The cashier Lida was superb! She was friendly and didn't make me wait or get mad when I hesitated about which donut I wanted.

Powdered mini donut- Not too powdery, was really fulfilling.

Glazed Raised Donut- No burnt and over buttered underside like the typical Safeway donut, nor was it overly glazed with sugar like the Krispy Creme ones tend to be. Icing had just the right about of sweetness. Vanilla Icing Donut w/ Sprinkles- It's like the glaze one but with icing. Otherwise it was aesthetically pleasing and melt in your mouth goodness. Ordered: Strawberry Icing donut- The icing was too sweet for me, so I wiped some of it all. Like the rest of the other shops, donuts are in the $1.30-2.40 range, which isn't a bad price for some super grubby treats. It was also very clean from the brief moment I was in there. The establishment is new, so of course the decor is still in top notch shape and looks very modern inside. It's finally opened and I already like it better than the ones in Beaverton. The great thing about PSU is that it's pretty much central to all of the tasty offerings in this area! I was of course stoked to see that a Sesame Donuts would be opening in this area and have waited for months. Their selection is FRESH every morning and they've got the corner on the market for cake donuts in the area. We ended up taking 1 bite of each donut and then throwing the whole lot of them in the trash. The other donuts I got were dry with coating that was too sweet. I wouldn't ordinarily mind if it had not been 1) a stale donut 2) gratuitously covered in frosting such that it was inedible. My partner mentioned that one of them had an off putting aftertaste.as though someone else had been fried in the oil other than dough. The cake donuts themselves had a stale consistency. Everything else in that box was covered in that same chocolate glaze. The last time we went, the attendant gave us just glazed chocolate cakes that were literally dripping in frosting. The cake donuts are too generously glazed.

But the sweet options all leave me makes me think that these employees don't know how to make donuts. I've tried raised, cake, croissants, the whole spectrum. How do I start? I have tried 3 times coming here to pick up a various selection of donuts.
