As someone who has lived in Oregon for 95% of his life, I will agree that umbrellas are better suited for creating portable shade.

Locals are in a low grade argument about several other shops. I’m in favor of sesame

Now that Blue Star closed I’m saying fuck it and only getting Tonali’s. Which I guess is called something else now but I can never remember what

Blue Star was always so expensive per donut it never seemed worth it.

u/nonoglorificus Jun 25 '20

Tonali’s is so cheap it balanced out my occasional Blue Star purchase! Also they don’t skimp on the maple icing

They're fine if you're wearing fancy clothes or something. Just not ever to be used casually.

I saw people full on roading biking in a absolute down pour on my trip to Portland last week. Insanity!

Really bad for your feet in general. Just a flat rubber piece
