About Voodoo Doughnut

Voodoo Doughnut, which originated in Portland, Oregon, has expanded to multiple U.S. cities in Eugene, OR; Denver, CO; Austin, TX, as well as overseas in Taipei City, Taiwan. The fall opening marks their first California establishment.  Created by Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson and Tres Shannon, Voodoo Doughnut is recognized worldwide by consumers and the media alike for their eccentric, palate-pleasing pastry creations.
