The Holy Donut

Very rare to find gluten free donuts that are actually good. Not super dry or sweet. These were perfect. I got the chocolate sea salt and the lemon. Not super expensive like 5$ each.

There’s a whole section of gf donuts- several options. Service was great and donuts were delicious! The worker who helped us wore gloves for the gf donuts without me asking and put a gf sticker on the bag to differentiate between the other donuts we bought. The lattes are delicious too!

a must stop on Portland - every time I visit, they always disclaim that the donuts are not made in a dedicated facility (just a separate area) and change their gloves, use a separate box from any gluten-filled donuts in the order. I am a huge fan of the traditional flavors, though old fashioned has always been sold out when I have visited - they do make more unique seasonal flavors like lavender, maple, lemon, etc. which are fun as well. haven’t gotten sick after eating here, I try to limit to 1-2 a trip to reduce potential CC exposure.

These donuts are HEAVEN! They are real size and they have so many options. Be careful there is still a chance of cross contamination since it is not dedicated gluten free but they are very mindful! They’ll change gloves if you ask

Six donut choices today! I chose pumpkin spice and the chocolate coconut. They’re very good for gluten free. Wish they were a little less dry but that’s GF for you. Still super tasty and they were VERY careful about cross contamination.

While the donuts have good flavor—the gluten free variety is stale and dry. The lemon was our favorite of the currently available options. The GF donuts also are an extra charge. All in all, glad to have a GF option, but these were not as good as we had hoped.

Not sure why this place is 5 stars for so many, they have a few gluten free options, non of the better flavors are offered gluten free. The doughnuts are obviously gf because they are dry and seem stale, not worth the calories. They are cold, getting colder in the middle so I assume they are previously frozen, not freshly made. Holy doughnuts, more like unholy. Not worth the trip.

Great selection of gf donuts. I asked what process they have when making them, and I was told they are made separate from the rest of the donuts. The cashier washed her hands before getting my donuts and marked the bag gf. My favorite was the cinnamon sugar.

We stopped in late in the afternoon on a Friday and they had six or seven gluten free donuts available, which was very exciting. We ordered chocolate coconut, lemon, and honey lavender. All were delicious, and I did not get sick. The person serving us changed his gloves without me asking.

I told them I have a gluten allergy and they switched their gloves and put my donuts in a box with a sticker that said “gluten free.” The gf donuts seemed to be completely separate from the others. I went back about 3 times within 4 days and each time I didn’t have a single worry about getting sick and the donuts were sooo yummy!

I only have been here once. Had the dark chocolate sea salt donut. Moist and very delicious. Will definitely be going back to try others.

Staff was very nice and friendly.

6 gf choices. I got the Sugar cinnamon and it’s good. Nothing spectacular other than I have a choice.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

These doughnuts are just alright. Nothing special.

I'm hoping to change this review the next time I visit. I'm giving three stars now because I didn't even get to try one...sold out :-( From what I could see, there was no sign to let people know they were out. If I had waited in line JUST for GF only to find out at the counter that they didn't have any I would have been livid. As it turns out, I was with a group of others who didn't need GF, so the wait wasn't for nothing.

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. First donut I’ve had in 5 years. There were 5 options for GF. I tried the cinnamon sugar and the dark chocolate glazed. Dark chocolate glazed was out of this world! The cinnamon sugar was tasty, but the texture definitely fell behind the dark chocolate. It wasn’t quite as moist. There was also a chai, lemon and coconut option that I am sure were delicious. Highly recommend.

Worth the long line. They had 6 flavors to choose from. The lemon and cinnamon sugar were phenomenal!

Delicious and safe. Gluten free donuts kept away from gluten donuts. Great every time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So good! Wish there were more choices but overall everything was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Great selection of gluten-free donuts!

Celiac friendly?

Wrapped my kiddo’s donut in its own bag when we let them know she has celiac. Donuts were delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate here without issue, and I am highly sensitive. Walking distance from Celebrity Cruise Port. OMG sooooo good.

I’ve eaten here twice and haven’t gotten sick! The donuts are yummy and yes, there is always a risk of cross contamination, but I feel like they take fairly good precautions.

Yummy! Lots of fun options GF and regular. Quite a few GF flavors today - Honey lavender, toasted coconut chocolate, cinnamon sugar, lemon, chocolate with sea salt. Such a great stop in a fun city.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious donuts. Good coffee and a great staff.

I eat here every chance i get-whenever i pass through Portland. I have never had a reaction to eating their GF donuts, and they are so incredibly delicious. I liters dream of these donuts. Every Celiacs dream. The GF donuts go fast though so get there early or call ahead!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free donuts are absolutely amazing! I still dream about them. Can’t wait to go back someday.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ran out of gluten free before noon

Awesome GF donuts!!! Many flavors to choose from. My favorites are the chocolate coconut and maple glazed.

GF Chocolate Sea Salt donut seemed great until I got incredibly sick. GF donuts are right next to regular donuts and there isn’t much consideration for cross contamination. Also, staff is too cool to be bothered with dietary concerns. I won’t be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Amazing gluten free options. Got chocolate and sea salt, maple glazed, lemon glazed and cinnamon & sugar. Absolutely delicious. Great service as well. Get there early so they don’t run out of GF options!

I was really impressed by the gluten-free donuts—they were absolutely delicious! Despite vanilla being out of stock when I arrived around 10:45 am on a Saturday, there were plenty of other flavors to choose from. I particularly enjoyed the dark chocolate sea salt and lemon. Treat yourself to one of these sweets—you won't regret it!

I’ve had The Holy Donut on my list of places to try for years, and I’m so glad I finally got to try it! We went in at about 9:45 on a Saturday and they still had all 6 gluten free donut options. The girl at the counter was very nice and when I said I was ordering gluten free donuts, she offered to get a separate bag and change gloves without me even having to ask. I tried the cinnamon sugar and the chocolate coconut. My boyfriend got a regular cinnamon sugar so we could compare. He said the gluten free donut had a slightly crispier outside which he liked and the texture of the inside of the two donuts were indistinguishable. Interestingly, the gf donut is more yellow on the inside than the gluten donut (I uploaded a picture for anyone who’s curious). Overall, it was such a treat to have a fried donut. This place did not disappoint!
