Most Popular Doughnut Shop In US Is Finally In Illinois

The quirky and extremely creative doughnut shop that started in Portland, Oregon, and expanded nationwide, is now open in Chicago. Take a look.

Do You Know VooDoo?

 

The magic is in the hole.

VooDoo is like magic, just ask the doll.  Being controlled by some outside force. Be careful of the "magic hole", because once you fall in... You know the rest.

This wouldn't be the first time I've seen the 'fallen' walk right past me all zombie-like and rattle off a mixed dozen doughnut order without an "um" or an "ah" and walk straight back to their car.

I know the look, I know the walk, I've been one of the 'fallen' multiple times. Krispy Kreme, Dunkin, Hurts, Doughboy, By The Dozen Bakery, I've been under the spell of many magical doughnuts.

Even this outrageous Chicago fried chicken donut sandwich from Do-Rite Donuts on E. Erie Street.

I cannot wait to be under complete control of the VooDoo Doll that just arrived in Illinois, 2 miles southwest of the sandwich above.

The most-talked-about doughnut shop in America is here in Chicago.

VooDoo Doughnut

Founded by Kenneth "Cat Daddy" Pogson and Tres Shannon in 2003. Voodoo Doughnut gained fame for its eclectic and unconventional doughnut offerings, as well as its distinctive pink decor.

Some of the signature doughnuts at Voodoo Doughnut include

The Voodoo Doll (shaped like a voodoo doll and filled with raspberry jelly)

The Bacon Maple Bar (topped with maple frosting and strips of bacon)

The Grape Ape (covered in grape dust and lavender sprinkles).

The menu also features other creative and colorful doughnuts, often with unique names and toppings.

Voodoo Doughnut has expanded beyond its original location in Portland and opened several other shops in different cities, including Denver, Austin, Hollywood, and Orlando. The brand has become known for its quirky and playful approach to doughnut making, attracting locals and tourists alike.

It's worth noting that Voodoo Doughnut has sometimes been associated with a counter-culture vibe and has embraced a sense of irreverence in its branding and marketing. The shop has gained a cult following and has become a popular destination for those seeking a fun and unconventional doughnut experience.

Put me under your spell, Voodoo Doughnut!
