Acme Donuts
Portland OR 97202
If Acme had offered doughnuts back in the day, we’re pretty sure Wile E. Coyote would have given up on chasing that pesky road runner and instead opted to sink his teeth into a Choco-Mint (chocolate with minty glaze) or Wicked Boston Cream (espresso cream filling). These days, Acme is less about anvils and defective jet powered roller skates and more about fun and inventive doughnuts made daily from scratch with all manner of fresh ingredients.
What we like: Acme Donuts is equal parts eye and mouth candy, featuring pastel colors and whimsical accents like a long string that spans between the front door and the kitchen and lifts an ice cream scooper to alert them to customers.
What we love: One word: Berrylicious. This other-worldly powdered confection is jam packed with mouthwatering fresh berry pie filling. Is it a doughnut? Is it a pie? No, it’s a hybrid. Let’s just hope this delicious new technology doesn’t find its way into the wrong hands.
