Yanni’s Greek Donuts
1400 SE 9th Ave, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“This mobile Greek donut stand fries everything fresh to order right before your eyes, delivering pillowy-soft interiors with that perfect crispy exterior that stays satisfying even on the drive home. The honey cinnamon and chocolate pistachio varieties are standouts—flavorful without being cloying—and pair beautifully with their surprisingly solid drip coffee, making it an ideal quick stop for something genuinely special that breaks the mold of typical coffee shop pastries. The friendly service and generous portions have won over Portland with near-perfect ratings, and the humble picnic table seating captures that authentic, no-fuss charm of discovering a real gem.”

Delicious little donuts, great for sharing. The portions are super generous, and fresh, hot donuts are truly a delight. There is a single picnic table next to the truck, so this is more a pick up and go (for a walk) kind of option. Appreciate that it comes with skewers so you don’t have to get your fingers sticky. I ordered the chocolate & pistachio, which was good but the cinnamon or caramel coconut probably pair a lot better with the fried dough. Like that they are open late and will definitely keep in mind when it’s after dark and I want a hot sweet treat.
Super tasty doughnut! Warm, light, airy but has a very nice crunch! Honey and cinnamon is so flavorful but not overly sweet! Drip coffee isn’t too shabby either!
These donuts are amazing! They fry them there on the spot while you wait and they come out hot. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. I couldn't finish mine (even the small is a lot!) and a few hours later they were still amazing. I will definitely be back again.
These donuts are incredible! They stayed crispy and chewy even after driving home with them. We got the chocolate pistachio and honey cinnamon. Very friendly service too. These might end up being my favorite donuts in town.
Just discovered Yanni’s yesterday while running errands and OH MY GOSH. Wow! I had never heard of Greek donuts before and I can’t believe what I’ve been missing. We got the cinnamon and honey, and the chocolate and pistachio flavors. It was hot, fresh, and SO FREAKING GOOD. I was torn to even share about it because I know it won’t take long for this place to blow up and become an institution. There’s nothing else like these in PDX. Highly, highly recommend and we will back very soon 🤤
