Super yummy donuts. And they're vegan if you're into that. But regardless, they are super yummy! They also have vegan ice cream. I imagine that this is what a donut tasted like 100 years ago before chemicals started to replace real ingredients.

Zell's has always been a favorite of ours and it's been around for a very long time. If you want to hang with the locals for breakfast, this is a great spot. Not hipster or pretentious, just great breakfast and a cozy, homey feel. Like all places in Portland, be prepared to wait for awhile if you go on the weekend.
