Ok. We know that Voodoo Donuts are a thing. But personally, I hate waiting in the "around the block" lines at both store locations found around downtown Portland. HOWEVER--they have a cart, serving all the same iconic donuts, and NO WAITING (ok, very little waiting) here at Cartlandia!!! It's the best if you're not going for the "full Voodoo experience" that takes an hour...if you just want the pink box and to eat the donuts, this is totally for you. Otherwise, go for it downtown! It is fun to do, too!!!

I think these donuts are the absolute best! My #1 favorites in Portland, just overall yummy and always reliable. I've been here with no waits sometimes, and a loooooooong line at other times, just depends on the day and how many people are craving donuts!
