Coco Donuts is a small chain of doughnut shops based in Portland, Oregon, United States. There are seven locations, as of 2023.[1] Owned by Ian Christopher, Thevy Hul, and Prak Khou, the business has garnered a positive reception.
Description
[edit | edit source]The small chain Coco Donuts operates multiple locations in the Portland metropolitan area, and uses dough based on a family recipe. Doughnut varieties include: buttermilk bars,[2] chocolate icing, jelly-filled,[3] lavender,[4] and mochi[5] with flavors like matcha and Oreo.[6] Coco's signature doughnut is a raised chocolate, glazed and topped with chocolate-covered coffee beans and cacao.[7] In 2017, KATU described Coco as "the only donut shop in Portland crafting both quality donuts and coffee".[8]
History
[edit | edit source]
The business is owned by Ian Christopher, Thevy Hul, and Prak Khou.[9] Coco has donated surplus food to Outside In and has participated in Too Good To Go, an app that connects customers to restaurants and stores with surplus unsold food.[10] There are seven locations in the Portland metropolitan area, including six in Portland and one in Clackamas:[11]

Reception
[edit | edit source]Time Out Portland included Coco in a 2019 list of the city's twelve best doughnuts.[7] In his 2021 overview of Portland's best doughnuts, Alex Frane of Thrillist said the business "takes the traditional approach to donut shops and elevates it without losing sight of the roots".[13] Coco was included in Bon Appétit's 2023 list of Portland's eight best doughnuts[1] and Eater Portland's 2024 overview of the city's "most delicious" doughnuts.[6] Portland Monthly has said, "Coco Donuts excels at the classics. Raised. Cake. Jelly-filled. You won't find fancy glazes or gimmicky shapes here, just a killer apple fritter and fresh, house-roasted coffee."[14]
