    This is all you really need to know: They only take cash. You will wait forever, probably. The service is slow. The flip side of this is due to the fact the menu is unreadable from the line, you will not get hassled or unnecessarily rushed by the checker so, ya know, gotta take the good with the bad. The donuts are not gourmet but they are DAMN GOOD. Maybe I'm just another Portlandia-watching, leggings-and-Cons-wearing, iPhone-5-owning, web-programming hipster who really really likes this place. Wait. Yes. I am. No apologies.

    Hit or miss with freshness. Sometimes the donuts with cereal taste old, sometimes amazing. For the cost of the donuts, they should except cards! Lots of selection, something for everyone. It's in the city so parking is nonexistent. Been a few times, and twice the staff hasn't been super friendly or willing to describe what some of the donuts are; I usually end up on their website reading description while in line. :/

    Long wait, menus that can't be read from standing in line, and a mediocre product. Putting bacon on anything can make it better, usually. They have a great idea, but it just doesn't taste good. I really wanted to like this place, no such luck. 2 dozen donuts, I sampled almost all of them. I wouldn't eat any of them again.

    I've tried the Old Dirty Bastard as well as the peach fritter. Both were delicious. I understand that some people don't like how pricey their product is here, but their pastries really are above the standard.

    SOOO DELICIOUS!!! Voodoo has so many different flavors to choose from and with their "naughty" names and outrageous toppings..... needless to say its always worth the wait!! The donuts that have a cereal topping are amazing. The contrast in textures between the crunchy cereal and the soft donut make for a killer combination.

    Seriously people, this place wayyyyy overrated. I've had better doughnuts from kingsoopers. way too sweet, overpriced, long lines and cash only???? wtf

  • Jody T.

    Ok, here's the deal. It's a unique doughnut place, and I applaud the creativity and wide range of options. But why is there always a line?? The doughnuts are alright, but I don't think there's anything THAT spectacular going on worth waiting more than a few minutes for. If you do go: ~ Bring cash, no cards ~ Get the maple bacon bar - this one is pretty great ~ Go realllllly early in the am to try to avoid the lines ~ Watch where you park or you'll get towed. Seriously though, if you're on your way to buy a box of doughnuts, it probably won't kill ya to walk an extra block from a legit parking spot

    I have heard rave reviews about this place, and so I drove all the way from the suburbs to have something special for a party I was throwing. Unfortunately I ended up at Aimee's register (thank you for the name on my $32.25 receipt!). Why spend that much on doughnuts for goodness sake??! Because they are great. But I I would spend double that to never end up being helped by Aimee again. She was rude. There wasn't even anybody in line behind me and she was annoyed by anything I asked or said. She totally ruined my experience and even managed to tell a coworker right in front of me how "done" she was with the day and wanted to go home. A happy doughnut experience totally slimed by an unhappy unprofessional employee. Doughnuts = good! Service = crap.

    I'm really disappointed in VooDoo. The donuts are still as fantastic as ever but their ordering policy needs attention. Last week we called ahead to place a multi dozen order. We were told we had to call the day before. So we called the day before and were told that we had to call exactly twenty four hours ahead (which we called 18 hours ahead) and they couldn't fill our order. I don't understand why orders can't be placed a few days ahead. It comes across as rigid, unprofessional and definitely not customer service friendly. What a pity since they strive so hard to be hip and cool.

    I have to admit I was skeptical of the hype. What the heck could be so great about a jelly filled doughnut in the shape of a Voodoo doll? And then I tried one. The dough is soft, tender and flavorful. The jelly filling is incredible, tart and not too sweet. It's orgasmic. The Memphis Mafia (chocolate banana peanut butter) is my favorite. They're huge, so I cut them into thirds and freeze the extra for future consumption. I'm also a huuuuge fan of the Mexican chocolate cake doughnut. The spicy factor really makes it unique. I've never had to wait in line longer than 10 minutes, but I don't generally go at peak hours. I've never had trouble parking, and the staff is always friendly. Be aware, they are cash only! Well worth the visit.

    These donuts are really good. I would not go out of my way but I was in the area and waiting for the sushi spot next door to open so... I caved and bought 8 to go. My favorite was the Peach fritter. So rich you need to split it with someone. My kiddos love the Mango Tango. The rest I could have done without. Around 11am on a Friday we stood in line for about 8-10 minutes. I can imagine how long the lines are in the morning. Best news we did not eat the donuts until the next day and they were still super moist, even on the outside. So if you bother to wait in line buy extras and go for the full sugar coma.

    Long line.... I was there on a Friday night at 10 pm and the line was out the door. It seem to move along fairly quickly though. Tons of unique donuts. I don't really eat many donuts so I'm not a donuts expert! Voodoo doll - Looks cool, not as good as the pictures though. Pretty much like a chocolate bar with jelly filled. Pretty tasty. Mexican hot chocolate - Best donut I've had in awhile. Spicy, not to sweet, and great texture.

  • Shea W.

    Let me preface this by saying, I don't like donuts. Like really almost at all. But Voodoo has mastered the donut! I've been 3 times, so this is by no means an expert review. However, I do live near here so I have some tips for you. When it first opened we went in the winter on a freezing cold -15 degree night and there was no line! The times when you would think people want donuts? The line can go around the block. But I was just there on a Thursday night at 7:30 and there was no one at all. Hit or miss and honestly not too busy to give it a try! I suggest asking the person helping you what their favorite donut is and getting it! Example: I never would have gotten the buttermilk bar but a girl told me if was her favorite and now it is one of my favorites!! Other favorites: Old Dirty Bastard, Mexican Hot Chocolate, BACON MAPLE BAR...Those are my 3 faves.

  • Kelly T.

    Maybe it's because I'm not a doughnut aficionado, maybe it's because I don't eat doughnuts all that often, or perhaps it's because, brace yourself, I don't really LOVE doughnuts. Whatever the reason, I wasn't really blown away by Voodoo. OH GOD! I KNOW! PLEASE DON'T PULL OUT YOUR PITCHFORKS! I got a few of them to share over the course of the weekend and, yeah, they were good, but, I mean, it's deep friend dough. It's hard to really screw that up. And they certainly didn't. So, yeah, I ate most of my doughnuts. They didn't make me sad. I have no regret. But my mind didn't literally explode out the back of my head when I bit into one, which I half expected given the hype. Still totally alive.

    Soooooooo OVER-HYPED! Not impressed whatsoever. Everyone rants & raves about this place, but I quite frankly just don't see it. I've been here twice now, & both times were a letdown. I've gotten a dozen of different doughnuts during each visit, hoping to find the "right doughnut for me." I love doughnuts (my favorite is Dunkin' Donuts strawberry frosted), but this place is lame because they OVERDO IT. They put too much stuff on every doughnut & try to make them look cool, but they don't taste good. Both times, I found myself eating 3 to 4 bites of each doughnut, then throwing them out. There are better places to get your doughnuts, Denver.

  • Yvonne L.

    I've always wanted to try this place but everytime I go by there is usually a huge line. I stopped into Streets of London across the street (they have great prices on pints) and noticed there was NO line at Voodoo. "What great luck!" I thought... I walk in and to my surprise there is no line inside either! I tell the cashier of my surprise and the excitement of my first time. I go for the most expensive dozen (a dozen of their most popular...I forget what they call it) PLUS a 'Rappers Delight' (3 nuts named after rappers) for a total of 15. The girl asked "Do you want it all in one box?" I replied "Uh, sure if they'll be alright like that" I happily take my box of doughnuts home for a group doughnut sampling to discover them all smashed together with parchment paper sticking to all the frosting. My guests were not impressed. AND I'M SO FLIPPING MAD THAT WE CAN'T EVEN ENJOY THESE RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE DOUGHNUTS!!!! We still begrudgingly ate them, and they were tasty. But I am still so upset at the mishandling of my nuts.

  • Jacob F.

    Pretty awesome donut spot. My wife brought home a box full of them and I ate up their Crushed Oreo donut in about 3 seconds. It was amazing. The way they design some of them is pretty hilarious. The only knock I have on them is the price, but it's worth it to try at least once.

    Wait line is NOT worth it, but if there isn't a wait I highly recommend it. Their gourmet weird concoctions of doughnuts are pretty good. Just keep in mind they're super sweet, like REAL SWEET!

  • Pauline L.

    The best thing I ate while visiting Denver. Came by on Sunday afternoon and only had to wait a few minutes. So many options - the menu isn't descriptive at all - most donuts are called a random name so I wish they had paper menus with descriptions you could read while you wait on line and know what you want to order by the time you get to the cashier. But the staff is really friendly and helpful anyway. I just asked if they had something with custard and another with jelly. He knew right away which two were the ones I would like. What's nice is that both donuts came with a choice of frosting/topping. With the custard, I chose chocolate over maple and with the raspberry, I got the glazed over the powdered. Both donuts were huge and tasty. The fillings were generous and not too sweet like the fake sugar/syrup other places use. And it's cheap! The ones I got are only a bit more than DD so I think it's worth it to have a better tasting donut. My husband got the one with bacon which is $3 and I think that's pretty standard for "fancy" non-chain donut places .. although they could be getting there as they open up more locations.

  • Sara H.

    This place was packed on a Saturday morning around 10:30. Voodoo is cash only!! I wish I would have done my research before getting in line as I only had $8. I ended up getting 5 donuts for $7.50. Not bad! The only reason I am giving Voodoo 4 stars is I was disappointed in the Old Dirty Bastard (Oreos, chocolate frosting, and PB) I thought the topping was dry and a little stale but everything else was delish! Will for sure be back when I have out-of-towners visiting!

    On my recent trip to Denver, four different people told me I had to go to Voodoo Doughnuts. They were correct. Appropriately located next to a marijuana dispensary and a tattoo parlor, and open 24 hours a day, this place has about 20 creative donut flavors at any given time. I tried the Neapolitan (chocolate cake donut with strawberry icing and marshmallows), the voodoo doll (raised donut with raspberry jelly, representing blood, chocolate icing, and a pretzel dagger), and something else that was basically an immense apple fritter with chocolate and peanut butter icing on top. Each was unique, high-quality, and delicious. Extremely sweet, I could only eat about the equivalent of half a donut at a sitting. Heavy on the icing. I particularly liked the cake donut, which was soft but crispy on the outside. Would love to go back and try the many other flavors.

  • Heidi K.

    Great doughnuts, but 45 minutes to get to the door and then told another 15 to 20 so someone could have a wedding...wth? Seriously, that was super frustrating. Maybe weddings at the donie palace should be scheduled during much less busy times, not Sunday of a three day weekend. My 5 year old was in tears by the time we were able to finally order, but they were quite delicious. Some are too sweet, but the cake with frosting or m&ms were both fantastic! I love it when my office orders these and we enjoy them sans the insane crowd.

    This place is all about the hype and novelty. If you go here thinking it's not, well I don't know what to tell you. There are plenty of other places that make equal or better donuts, for the same price or less, that do not require a lengthy wait. However, that doesn't mean that Voodoo doesn't make good donuts - I certainly had some during my last visit to Denver. They just aren't the best donuts ever. A friend and I arrived here on a Saturday evening around 5 pm. The line was outside the door and we questioned whether it was worth the wait or if we'd even get through given we crunched for time. We decided to give it a shot to see how fast things were moving and I'm glad we did. It was a decent day outside - not too cold in April, so wasn't bad to stand in line and chat. The line moved fairly fast - you can tell the staff is used to this type of busyness on a regular basis as they went about their work unfazed. Given many people show up in groups and order together, you arrive at your register fairly fast (in this case, 20 minutes). We ordered a few donuts to eat immediately and some to take to friends. The peanut donut with chocolate frosting was delicious (I'm a big cake donut fan). The blueberry donut that I tried later was too sweet due to the amount of icing on it. The cake portion of this seemed sweet enough on its own - I don't know if it even needed any. We ordered an Arnold Palmer and I was disappointed it wasn't more conceptual. I thought the cake donut part might be lemon with some type of sweet tea frosting, but it was a basic donut with drink mix sprinkled on top (definitely sweet and disappointing). We ordered more, but I can't recall what they were except for the old-fashioned, which was what I would have expected. The vibe here is fun - quirky art, tattooed workers, and people just having a good time. All donuts are to go though (with no seating outside), so plan accordingly. It was a fun trip there and great to spend time with my friend. If I'd been in Denver alone, I definitely would have skipped the wait in order to hang out at a cool coffee shop or brewery instead.

    Voodoo Doughnut!! I've heard so many things of this great place from Portland. I knew I had to make it a point to get a doughnut.. or dozen for that matter whilst I was in Denver. This location is 24/7, but during the weekends the lines looked crazy long.. I also tried going pretty late at night and it was still a long wait. I opted to just come back on a Monday morning before any sort of crowd would form - I got there and even though only 1 other customer was in front - it was still going slow.. I feel as if it just runs slowly in general - but besides the point; the donuts! They have so many different unique doughnuts, I just couldn't choose. I decided to just go with the fryers? dozen (apparently their most popular selections) Out of those, I tried the voodoo filled donut ,the old dirty bastard (oreo topped donut with a peanut butter drizzle, and the bacon maple bar) oh these were so good! the bacon maple bar was just right, sweet and savory - my favorite! I'll be back next time im in Denver, but never during peak hours. Good doughnuts and all my coworkers i brought some back to Texas to loved em!

    3.5 stars. Voodoo is kind of overhyped, but I get it because these are donuts unlike anything else you've ever tried. I mistakenly ordered two for myself and I could barely eat the entire first one because it was way too sickening; so I grazed on the rest over the next day or two. I came on a Saturday morning, which I'm sure is one of their busiest times, but the 15-20 minute wait wasn't bad at all as the line goes quickly. However, they may want to invest in a sign that asks their customers to keep the door closed when the line is out the door because every two minutes the counter girl would (politely) yell to close it, and if you're there for 20 minutes, you're tired of hear screaming it 10 times. Anyway, I would definitely recommend Voodoo to any donut or sweet lover who's never been, and since they're open 24/7 I'll be back for a midnight snack, which may bump my rating up to 4 stars. Until then, I haven't been completely wowed yet.

  • Allie R.

    Let me preface this review by saying how much I absolutely love sweets. Especially donuts. I do not love voodoo donuts. Both times I was lucky enough to try them, they were brought into my office by someone else. I've gone to the store a couple of different times, but I don't do lines. So we left. This most recent time I had a donut from voodoo it was the voodoo doll. I ate it, then excuse me when I say this, spent the rest of the day burping an oily glaze after taste. It was definitely gross. The previous time of eating the donut I got a bad stomach ache the rest of the day and so did my coworker. No more voodoo for me. Rather eat King soopers donuts.

  • Heather N.

    I love donuts. Like, it's almost embarrassing how much I love them. Several friends couldn't believe that I hadn't tried Voodoo so this morning I drove a bit out of my way after a DIA drop off to experience the goodness that is Voodoo. My experience is summed up with "meh". I didn't think the donuts were all that good. Super sickingly sweet. I got an old fashioned glazed & it was so sweet there wasn't any flavor but sweet. My girls got bubble gum donuts & they were even sweeter than mine. The lack of seating was a huge bummer, we would've loved to have been able to hang out in the shop {it's really fun with lots to see} and eat. Instead, we took these ooey gooey bubble gum donuts into my car & I prayed the icing would stay off the upholstery. There was about 1/2 cup of excess frosting on each donut. I would say, go to Voodoo for the experience but maybe not for the donuts.

    I'm in there at 3 am. Thanks Insomnia and sugar cravings. So I never experience the long lines and mania! Even at 3am or 243am if you're a nit picker. The donut tenders are attentive and cool people, they get you your donuts, know their shit and are friendly without giving you the feeling they are hyped up on their own donuts. Try the Arnold Palmer it's my favorite. I always get a regular glazed and they're always fresh. The music is always loud and weird but I'd never expect anything less from a place born out of Portland. Though I'm sure that's got more to do with staying awake while 3am donut making than anything.

    I always loved reading articles talking about the places with the best doughnuts in the nation. When I found out one the places was 2 blocks south of where I lived, I was kind of excited. And when I found out it was 24/7, I was even more excited. When I did go, my scheduled work hours were about the exact opposite of what they are now. So getting doughnuts early morning on the weekends was not out of the picture. Oh yea, speaking of times to go- I would go anytime during dinner or anytime from 1A-4A. 5,6AM seem to be a solid time to go. At least then, the line is much shorter, and the people are presumably sober. Nothing is worse than standing in a line of 30 drunk people trying to order from a huge variety of doughnuts. When you do find this place (its pink, hard to miss, near Colfax/Park), try to park out front. I don't really know where else to tell you. Makes you wonder where all of the people in the lines parked. This place is cash only, so if you didn't bring any, they have an ATM. The variety is so big here, I would suggest looking at the menu online before you go, or just getting the fryer flyer combo- which is 13 of their most popular doughnuts, for 25$. Mind you, it is a lot of food. It has a mix of yeast and cake doughnuts, along with plenty of cereal varieties. A lot of food, especially for one person (did I already say that?). My favorite overall doughnut here is the maple bacon doughnut. I could eat 3 and then go into a food coma. They also have a Boylan's (very cool) drink fountain and have a few other drinks for sale. When I went to get food, the people seemed pretty friendly to me. I assume the staff would get aggravated having to deal with a drunk person asking about each one of their 50+ flavors. Hell, I would have no patience and probably kick them out. So yea, if you want, do your homework and get here at a decent hour- it is worth checking out. I give them high marks for their creativity, but, in this day and age with so many doughnut options out there, it just didn't melt my heart like some other places have.

  • Rachel R.

    I don't want to love Voodoo as much as I love Voodoo, but I can't help it. I don't want to love it because everyone loves it and somehow I feel like I want to go against the grain and not bite into the trend, but people love Voodoo for good reason: the doughnuts are just. so. good. I always order the Captain My Captain and a plain with chocolate icing. God, I'm sitting here drooling just thinking about it. They get knocked a star because of how gruff the staff is. Either these guys don't hire well, have a toxic working environment, or just put their staff through hell. Every single time I've been in, the person at the counter is disgruntled or grumpy as hell. This makes no sense, you are working with doughnuts.

    So thankful this iconic establishment decided to enter the Denver market. Best doughnuts around with a great atmosphere. Go with the maple-bacon or the classic Voodoo Doughnut and you wont be disappointed!

    We stop here every time we come Denver. It's a tradition now! They are always busy, but it's worth the wait. I had the Memphis mafia this time around and ate through the guilt. It was so worth it! Bring cash because they are cash only.

    Voodoo Doughnuts is a perfect example of how the media can manipulate people. We have all heard about Voodoo from the Food Network, Travel Network, or on social media outlets. They talk about Voodoo doughnuts as if it's a place which was lifted down from Mt. Olympus as a gift to mankind, from the gods. I have been to the one in Portland and now the one in Denver. Guess what....? Voodoo Donuts is nothing more than your average doughnut shop. They have unique doughnuts but that doesn't make them exceptional. I bought a dozen handpicked doughnuts so that I could sample all of the crazy ideas. I got a maple bar with bacon, doughnuts covered in cereal, and even one that was neatly decorated as a voodoo doll. They all looked really awesome but nothing like the ones that you think you are getting in the display case. While the doughnuts look exciting, the uniqueness ends at decoration. The dough, filling, and glazes all taste the same as any other doughnut you have ever eaten. Without the fruit loops and lucky charms there would be nothing special. Unlike the Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, this location had a very short line. There was 3 people that were in front of us when we walked in the door. For some reason, despite the short lines they still had the stanchions out. Making you feel like you are waiting in a line at Disneyland. The process to order donuts is entirely too long! and they only take cash. It's the 21st century and this is supposed to be a successful business. I think it's time to embrace the method of payment that most people use nowadays. The other thing that I think makes this place frustrating is that they have no seating for their customers. You have to take your food and leave. This seemed really weird for a doughnut shop. I would think that some people would enjoy sitting down with a doughnut and a coffee as opposed to eating on the run or in their car. Overall, I was very unimpressed with Voodoo Doughnuts. The ideas and decorations seemed more like a gimmick than a higher quality product. I guess going here is more to just say you did it. The average person will probably end up trying it once and then venturing out to a different place to fulfill their doughnut craving. Without the media attention Voodoo got, I would imagine there wouldn't be one here in Denver.

    If you are craving voodoo donuts but are maybe too high to go outside or something then here is a quick make at home substitute: take a cereal bowl out of the cabinet, fill to top with granulated sugar. Empty container of dunkin Hines frosting on top. Cover with marshmallows. Feel your teeth melt out.

  • Debbie K.

    I absolutely love donuts so I have heard a lot of hype about this place. It's one of those, you just have to try it, type of donut places. I thought it was a bit overhyped but it was still really good, but not to the point where I would wait over an hour for this place. I waited around 25 minutes which was not bad at all. I do think, however, that there should be menus or something so that people can figure out their choices before they get up to the front to order. I think that would make it more efficient and it would also make the line go much faster. But the donuts are pretty good - I would recommend the Captain my Captain donut and the Loop donut. Even the non-specialty ones are delicious! I would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

  • Bre H.

    I came here on a late night craving because I'd never tried the place, so the line was not out the door like it usually is. And I'm happy it wasn't because the wait in line for these doughnuts definitely isn't worth it. They're not necessarily over priced, they're just bad quality! I could've made better doughnuts with no knowledge of how. I bought a variety box which includes all of their most favorable flavors (which was somewhere around $25) and I only really liked about 3 of them!! It would've been worth the money if the doughnuts didn't taste like a 6 year old put them together. On a good note the people were friendly..didn't see much of a sanitary kitchen or workers with gloves soooo....that's concerning. I would go back to get the 1. Grape Ape Doughnut 2. Miami Vice Berry Doughnut 3. Voodoo Doll Doughnut But if there's a long line...fat chance of me stopping in. BTW there's a parking lot RIGHT behind the place...do NOT park there, it looks tempting because its close and empty but its empty for a reason, so don't think you're lucky. Within the 20 min span of me being there, 3 cars were towed because it's not a parking lot for voodoo! I swear the tow trucks just sat there waiting for someone to park there.

    5 stars for selection of donuts, location, uber friendly service, knowledgeable staff and efficiency of staff. The value??? mehhh well I think the average price is $2 per donut so a bit high but totally worth it. Depending on the time of day, the line at this joint could be around the corner. Again, totally worth the wait! I tried 10 different donuts from the maple bacon to voodoo. And pretty much everything in between. Thanks for the great taste, I gained 10 lbs from eating all the donuts. I obviously didn't finish all 10 in one day so I had to finish them in day 2 with fear that the donuts will get stale... they didn't! They were still good!!! Must Have: pothole donut (bavarian cream filled), voodoo (jelly filled) and their fritters (apple or banana/peanut butter)

  • Julie L.

    The doughnuts here live up to the hype. They are fresh and last a couple of days. I had the Miami Vice, which was my favorite. It's a raised doughnut with colorful marshmallowy topping. The line is sometimes long but not too bad and they only take cash.

    The best donuts I've ever had. But the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars it because it is pretty pricy.

    Great donuts, but there will probably be a long line to get in. Boston cream was great, as was the chocolate glazed cake donut. Brought some crazy looking ones back for the kids to try.

    Voodoo Denver! So I'm quite familiar with eating at Voodoo in Portland and fortunately the doughnuts at the Denver location are comparable! They tasted pretty fresh even though we got there close to midnight so that's a huge plus. The only downsides are the location which is pretty sketchy especially at night, and the sloooooowww service. Woww your service is slow! I guess that's what happens when you're located next to a pot shop x___X

  • Amy R.

    I would call myself a Voodoo addict. Thank Goodness I live far enough away that I've never made a special trip there. But, it's tempting. In their early days in Denver (when the lines were an hour long), I felt like I should order many doughnuts to justify the wait. Now that it's 20ish minutes, my daughter and I share the same 2 doughnuts every time. One yeast, one cake. And cheap. I'm not a meat eater so I do the Maple Bar without the bacon and it's my very favorite. I've turned many a "cake doughnut resister" into a "cake doughnut lover" with the Buttermilk Bar. The whole place is a double entendre which was odd with at first with the kids (12 years old +) but it's now old hat. It seems that none of the suggestive language goes over their heads which is *slightly concerning*. Consider yourself warned, parents. Also, it's cash only. They have a private ATM in the store but it looks like one that will charge fees more than your doughnut tab.

    Finally tried Voodoo Doughnut! Came on a Wednesday around 9 pm and had a twenty minute wait in the line. Wait was a little longer than anticipated but I suppose it could have been longer especially if I went on the weekend. I drive by this place a bunch and see lines reaching outside the door sometimes at the strangest times. I guess that's a big advantage for this 24/7 treat shop. Cash only is kind of strange but acceptable to me. I can see it pissing off some tourists who have to make an unexpected withdrawal. But the big advantage is this place has a large and unusual selection of doughnuts. It's kind of a fun atmosphere inside, full of young people, tourists, and families. Sometimes homeless people nearby will pester you to buy them a doughnut. It's a fun and interesting part of Denver, many bars and marijuana stores nearby if you fancy that. Anyways to the doughnuts- I got the Portland Cream, Old fashioned glaze, toasted coconut, and double chocolate doughnut. First thing to note is that the doughnuts have a very large amount of icing and toppings. Super sweet. The Portland (Bavarian) cream was thick and tasted great. Doughnuts are cooked well. They are more like a cake than anything. Tasted great the next day. Oh and let's not forget the pink box is so cute and distinct. Would make an awesome gift. Voodoo is a fun spot to visit in Denver. Fun and creative menu with delicious treats. I just love that the place is open 24/7. Being always open is great, I may have to come late night and see what's up. My only complaint is that there is really no place to hang out with friends, socialize with others, have some doughnuts and coffee (such as tables or a bar). I live nearby and something like this may entice me to come more often. Otherwise for me it will stay a once a month treat

    This place really does deserve the hushed, reverenced tones that it gets mentioned with. I love, love, LOVE doughnuts and I've always heard how amazing this place is. I ordered a Voodoo Dozen and my standout favorites were the Old Dirty Bastard, the Captian, My Captian and the Portland Creame. All three were just top-notch and the rest were amazing as well. They give you the best pink box to take them home in and everyone that works there clearly LOVES where they work and what they do. If you're in Denver and you don't come here, you're depriving yourself of something special.

    When we decided to visit Denver, this place was numero uno on the list of places to eat at. With a reputation in the donut world like no other, it was non negotiable. Street parking only, but it was free on Sunday (woohoo!) and we hopped into the line. CASH ONLY. ( but there is an ATM inside.) The line was set up like a Disneyland ride, and every 5 minutes, the girl at the counter would YELL to the customers to "KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED". Ummm, do you do that all day, every day? Maybe just put a giant sign on the door then? When we got to the front, we had our order ready, and the woman checking us out was quick and friendly. There is no place to sit inside or out, so we wandered over to our next destination, and enjoyed them in the car. My reaction: meh. definitely not worth the hype, sadly. They weren't BAD, but with the cash only, street parking, long line situation, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. They are really pretty, and I was able to make all my friends jealous on FB and IG, but the donut was a little dry, there was way too much icing, and the cereal that it was topped with was stale. I was only able to eat half a donut before I started to feel a little ill from all the icing, and the only reason they were finished the next day was from a little motivation from some recreational smoking ( which made me much more forgiving of the stale cereal on top).

    I've been here twice within the last few months. Voodoo has unique and expensive doughnuts, but they're not my favorite (so minus one star). I also had to take away a star because of the ridiculously long line. They really don't have a great ordering process and especially when there is only one person helping out customers. Favorite to Least: Glazed Yeast Bacon Maple Bar (but for $3.25??) Mexican Hot Chocolate Old Dirty Bastard Butterfingering Vice Berry Portland Cream Bubble Gum Dirt Grape Ape - my friend absolutely loves this one Voodoo - not a jelly-filled fan CASH ONLY

  • Lydia P.

    The donuts here are pretty good, been here a couple of times. My favorites are the Grape Ape and the Voodoo doll which has a really good raspberry filling in the middle. Most of the donuts here are pretty decent and mostly unique tasting donuts. They also have really good soda's there too if you ever happen to get one of those. My only complaint is that the wait and the line out the door are mildly ridiculous. I don't enjoy waiting in lines in crowded places, and so it got really uncomfortable. It is also a very time consuming wait for the donuts. It took about half an hour until I was finally able to get them. And on a final note they also only do cash. So if you are out of cash with only a credit card on you, forget it, the donuts you've been waiting for, for so long are not available to you.

  • Michael S.

    Lines are long, even at 3am in the morning. But sweet fried donut lord they are worth the wait. Be sure to bring cash. Definitely order their bacon maple bar and if you feel like tasting the rainbow, the gay bar.

    Doughnut heaven. That's what Voodoo Doughnut is. I'm not a donut expert by any means, but I know greatness when I see it. On a recent trip to Denver, my travel companions suggested a trip to Voodoo. Upon arrival I knew that it was a good choice. We waited in the 15 minute line to get to the counter. It was definitely worth the wait. We went with the Fryer Flyer, which was full of their best selling doughnuts. From m&m doughnuts, to bacon covered doughnuts, to cinnamon toast crunch doughnuts, to oreo doughnuts - you get the drift. They were all so unique and the 7 of us really enjoyed popping the box open and sharing them all. This is more of a treat type of place for me as I'm sure it was incredibly calorie-laden. That being said, I loved my experience and the doughnuts here and I highly recommend checking it out if in the Denver area!

    I think this was too hyped up for me to truly enjoy. Yes they have good donuts. They have crazy flavors like the Old Dirty Bastard, Capt. Crunch and Maple Bacon etc., but just because it's crazy doesn't mean they're absolutely to die for. Sometimes a simple light and fluffy glazed donut is all you need. Their blueberry, Mexican hot chocolate and cruellers are good simple ones, if you want to try some of their daring flavors then go for the maple bacon bar and I like their gay bar as well haha. Remember! Cash only! It can get a little bit pricey once you pile up your order so be careful. You can get a bucket of day old ones for $8. They use to give you the bucket but now they just measure it there and put it in the infamous pink box. The last time we got it, it had not that much variety (a lot of the mango tango ones) and had probably less than a dozen. I knew people who got more, if not twice, as that!

    Everyone raves about voodoo doughnuts... but I have to be honest. Not the best I have ever had. I think it is more about the experience and silliness of the doughnuts themselves then the actual quality of the doughnut. If you need a little pick me up or you just want to uplift your spirit. Then come here for a voodoo doughnut you can stab with pretzels...or get one topped with your favorite childhood cereal. You can even get some rapper doughnuts or a big blunt doughnut. Absolutely a fun experience that everyone must do once... but very dry inside, somewhat stale and over- sugary in my opinion.

  • Lance B.

    Good place to try out if you're in town. We were in town from Atlanta. Really cool vibe and love the selections. Kind of made it hard to choose. Great staff. Line was not too long while we were there. Got the Portland Cream, chocolate frosted, blueberry cake doughnuts. All were good but not blow your mind good. I have had better doughnuts but this was good for what it was. Prices are not bad. However, if line is more than 10 minutes, it wouldn't be worth it to me.

    Are these the absolute best donuts in the city? Probably not. But, you go to VooDoo for the fun of it, not for gourmet rolls. I stopped in last week, Wednesday afternoon, just before rush hour. First visit ever! To my pleasant surprise, I was able to grab a metered spot right outside the door. There's *tons* of metered parking here; you may have to park a block up or back, but will the walk really kill you? Once inside, I found myself smack in the middle of a cavernous room - no tables, no chairs, bright pink and the scent of sugar wafting everywhere. No lines, no waiting - just a couple of girls who were trying to decide what to get who graciously offered their spot while they hemmed over the menu. The 30'ish hipster with the arm sleeves and Duck Dynasty beard was super friendly (again, noticing a trend in this area - I'm far from hipster and almost 20 years older than most of these folks, and yet the staff at most of the restaurants and shops in this area couldn't care less and treat me like I've been a customer forever.) I picked up the Fryer Flyer dozen - a little more expensive, at $21, but it highlights their most popular rolls. Voodoo Doll, ODB, Grape Ape - this box holds a little of everything (including the maple bacon bar I was craving!) If you're looking to save cash, you can pick up a dozen cake or a cake/raised dozen for a few dollars less. I was in and out of the store in maybe ten minutes (I brought cash; if you forget, there's an ATM near the door), and back on the road home. Kids and hubby enjoyed the treats. I think the maple bacon bar is probably my favorite. Hubby loved the voodoo doll (though he noted the pretzel stake was stale.) Minion 1 was a fan of the ODB (though she hadn't been expecting the peanut butter). Minion 2 liked whatever the one with the crumbled oreos was. There were a few we weren't big fans of; I felt the maple blunt was a little too sweet, and the Cap'n Crunch had soggy cereal on it (we didn't eat that one until two days later, so I attribute the soggy to time.) This is the kind of place I'd stop for a treat if I were in the neighborhood. It's not going to replace my local donut shops simply due to distance. But, it lived up to the hype!

    You know how people usually get cake for their birthday? Those who know me, know I'd rather have DONUTS on my special day. I was shocked to find a Voodoo doughnut in Denver, and since I've heard so much about them decided I may as well cross them off my list. I went in around 11pm and still had to wait a good 25 minutes. It's open 24/7 so that's pretty neat. CASH ONLY! but they've got an ATM right inside. I ordered half a dozen donuts- maple bacon, (2) Dirt (oreo topped), Dirty Bastard, and (2) Captain, My Captain. Wish i could tell you which was my favorite, but none of them really wow'ed me. :( once i got back to my hotel that the Portland Cream was a real winner, so might have to give that one a shot next time. The donut itself was just like any ordinary donut you could find in a 7 eleven.. which is why i dont think this place is any good. My guess is that theyre just known for their eclectic mix of toppings... (oh, i should mention that these donuts are really, really sweet!!) Overall, because of it's popularity, I would say try it out. If you're not much of a donut person, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. If you're a donut fiend like myself, don't order too much- save your $$!

    I'd been to the location in downtown Portland and loved it, so imagine my surprise and delight when I found out that there was one in Denver! Not surprisingly, it was in a funky area of town (the only place during my trip to Denver where I saw people with colored hair) and there was a dispensary next door--a marriage made in stoner heaven, apparently. There was quite a line when we got there around 9pm or so, which was ok because it gave us time to take a good look around and also figure out what we wanted. Turned out, we wanted everything, lol. My four friends and I ended up ordering 13 donuts, which came to almost $40! Yes they're pricey but they're made with good, fresh ingredients and held up pretty well for the next few days. I don't remember ALL the donuts we got, but the standouts for me were the Portland Cream, the Dirty Ole Bastard, and, of course, their maple bacon bar--mm. Their signature Voodoo Donut I'm not a huge fan of--I don't like jelly filling but I do love the idea of a donut voodoo doll. I was bummed they were all out of The Gay Bar. STEPH JUDGEMENT: Fresh, tasty, unique artisanal doughnuts in a fun and funky-ass setting.

    I just do not get it. I've sampled the world's doughnuts. Voodoo ranks near the bottom. After my first bite, I was convinced I could make a viral YouTube hit where people can't tell the difference between a Portland/Colfax cream and a Boston cream I bought at Safeway. I judge a doughnut by the dough primarily. You can top or fill a doughnut with anything, but it can't hide bad brioche. No dough has ever screamed "Meh!" as loud as the Voodoo doughnuts I ate. I've been told that if you go in the morning when everything is fresh and warm still, they are significantly better. Haven't been able to try that, but I doubt that is why this place receives the hype it gets. Combine the mediocre quality with the wait, the price, and the lowbrow sex jokes (get it! doughnuts have holes... vaginas are holes... therefore doughnuts are like vaginas... I guess I'm a stiff), and this just isn't the place for me. Luckily Dizzy's in Boulder is as close to where I live. Much better. Same price.

    At the end of the day, it's flour and sugar in funny shapes and with funny names. So, anyone that knows me knows I love sweets. Especially donuts. So to be nice to my office, I decided to swing by one day (trust me, I avoided the hipster crowd.....hell no am I waiting an hour or more for this). I don't understand the hype. Creative, absolutely. Things that are screwed up, absolutely. Are they bad donuts, no.....but if I closed my eyes...they taste very similar (except maybe the bacon one). In any event, I got about 10 donuts...price tag - $15. That's a lot for donuts. I got the bacon one cause I was curious, a couple others with sprinkle and toppings...but really? I got a donut with oreos and another with butterfinger crunch stuff........go buy a butterfinger and a chocolate donut somewhere else - and you won't know the difference. Another donut was some Mexican Diablo or something...you'd like, "spicy" right? I asked the girl about it...she's like "It's a chocolate donut with vanilla drizzle...and some red sprinkles." Okay - so here's my hit list: 1) Cash only. Seriously - I had the cash - but the machines they run are able to run credit cards - they just don't have it setup - why?? You don't want to pay the fees? You would have to mark up the donuts more than they already are? 2) Wait. I've driven by plenty of times. Don't wait an hour for these. 3) Menu. Again, like people have mentioned....it's teeny tiny. I had glasses on and I still could barely see it. I think this adds to the hype....people can't see, and therefore can't decide until they get up to the counter....thus creating a lengthy process making these seem more desirable. Anyway - I visited Portland last summer and didn't get to try them there - and was looking forward to them here....sadly, I was disappointed.

    To much hype about this place I mean the doughnuts are good but the line ? I dont know. Last time i paid for some doughnuts didn't get it. My 2 favorites are maple bacon and dirty old basard. I also like how they open alot of hours..

  • Erin M.

    Here is why I am giving Voodoo a 5. Their doughnuts are fresh, people. Yes. I know they are at Krispy Kreme as well, but I'm not about to drive down to Highlands Ranch for a good donut. I also appreciate the variety of flavors, the fact that VD carries vegan treats, and the pink boxes, vulgar sayings and all. The lines are long, but if you time it right, you can get in an out under 20 minutes, and the people watching while in line is exquisite. Extra love for friendly customer service (The cashier was personable and not even a little annoyed by our many questions). As others have mentioned, you'll want to bring cash as it sounds like the ATM is frequently belly up.

  • Diane N.

    The donuts are 3-stars, based on taste. Fun and tasty; not melt-in-your-mouth amazing. Great, now that's out of the way. 4-stars for the concept of the place. It's fun, hip, and creative. I appreciate places like this popping up in Denver and helping to pull out the kitschy personality that the city has had shelled up for so long. Service is also friendly. This place is CASH ONLY. That's weird for Denver. Not weird for places like San Francisco or Portland, so learn to deal. Also, here's a note to all those Mile High baby hipsters buying donuts- lose the damn attitude.

  • Matthew O.

    I wish Voodoo never came to Denver. I've been to the one in Portland multiple times and loved it! I even have a pink box from them in my kitchen, but the Denver has honestly completely ruined it for me. Do employees or volunteers work here??? The first time I went was about a month ago with friends from out of town. The line was long, but I figured an hour was long enough to buy something that is pre-made... nope. We ended up having to leave after waiting for 45-50 minutes to catch their flight. The second time I went in was around 7:40AM. There were 6 people in front of me, you know: 1-2-3-4-5-6, and at least 5 employees. I stood there for 11 minutes watching one girl clean their turn style display, another fold boxes and a third leave the store and come back with a handful of Redbulls. When I left for an 8am meeting, there were 3 people in front of me. I can understand if they're trying to push this free spirit "we don't credit cards" and "screw the system," but they're really starting to ruin their image because I have no desire to ever return. From what I remember in Portland, the donuts are good, but it's just not worth waiting when there is no reason to wait. Side note: If you wait in line long enough, you tend to make friends. The 20 year old secretary behind me was trying to buy 84 donuts for a client meeting that morning and had to leave because it took too long as well. Keep it up Voodoo, you're totally looking like trendy cool guys now. Try LaMar's donuts.

    There's so much hype surrounding this donut place so I thought I'd give it a try. Went during the evening to avoid long lines. Line wasn't too long. They had three people working the counter so the line moved pretty fast. So don't be discouraged by the long line! Since it was my first time there, we asked the lady to help us out. Sky was her name, very sweet girl. She recommended the Voodoo Combo. Half yeast and half classic. It's worker's choice but she picked some really good donuts! Only downside is that parking is a b$*#h to find but hey that's downtown for ya.

  • Logan N.

    It is all the hype everyone makes it out to be! The best time to go to skip the line is between 11pm-3am, basically when the rest of the city is in the bar. Also, the doughnuts are actually fairly priced. For about 8 specialty doughnuts it was about $15. Worth it!!!!! All of the negative Nancy's on here are being the A-Typical judgement foodies Denver has to offer.

  • Tolis V.

    I ll have to disagree with many fellow reviewers here! What is so unique about the place you ask? For a business that bakes and sells doughnuts in a crazy volume as Voodoo does, they must be doing something right! And they really do. They grabbed the concept of baking a doughnut and took it to the next level. You have a plethora of creatively, freshly made doughnuts, with unique marketing, and very friendly staff. Add 24hr operation, and there you have it. I will visit this place again and again...

  • Joshua S.

    While the doughnuts here are top-notch, the line is typically out of control. Plus, the staff is painstakingly slow in dealing with each customer. To order a dozen doughnuts that the staff chooses still seems to take about 10 minutes. The service, while slow, is helpful and friendly in spite of the long lines. The maple bacon doughnut is by far my favorite, followed closely by the Portland Creme. The typical doughnuts are fantastic as well. If the line is not out of the door, it definitely is worth the wait. Otherwise, you're better off trying to get in another day. By the way, this is a cash-only establishment. Don't forget to bring a $20, as you'll want to spend that much in the store.

  • Marco B.

    Yelp defines 2 stars as "Meh. I've experienced better", and this is exactly the description for Voodoo. I am a fan of the Bacon and Mango doughnuts. The rest, not so much. The mango tango has a sour coating and a good jelly filling, while the bacon doughnut is a freakin' bacon doughnut (hint: it's good). The rest are childish imaginations of what can be put on a doughnut. For instance, the grape ape just tastes like someone melted artificial grape candy and mixed it into the frosting. YUCK. Combine this with a wait longer than that of a recreational marijuana store in January '14, mediocre service and abysmally small menus that are completely illegible, and you end up with 2 stars.

  • Phung L.

    Word of advice, if you had the opportunity to go late at night where there's probably not a line, you should consider it otherwise you'll find yourself standing in line for an hour! The line itself looks deceivingly short, but as you make your way to the window, much to my dismay, there's another line inside that snakes around. Oh and it's cash only so please bring cash because their ATM is oh so slow. Reminds me of trying to log online via 56k dial up modem on AOL. Ahhhhh the good ol' days... I also recommend figuring out what you want to order first with your smart phone because I've had difficulty trying to read the small print on their screen. Can someone please change the font size?! It is all digital btw. Finally...and I'm not really upset about it simply because of how hectic and busy they were, be sure to double check your order because they forgot my Voodoo Doll. After purchasing approximately two dozen of various assortments of Voodoo's crazed concoctions on donuts, I've come to the realization that there are so many donuts that I can consume in one sitting, and it turned out to be about 1.5...but I'm glad I choose the Captain My Captain which was the one with Captain Crunch and it was absolutely amazing! Somehow waiting outside in the frigid cold and I wasn't even dressed properly didn't seem like a foolish idea after all! I also tried a small piece of the Grape Ape and though it looked pretty with a lavender glaze and purple sprinkles, it had a subtle grape flavor to it however I immediately correlated it to tasting like children's cold medicine Dimetapp. Ordering the "Cock and Balls" as a humorous gift for a friend I wasn't prepared for what happened. I was curious to know why the cock and balls were over $5, I couldn't be certain because the font size wasn't legible, but when the cashier pulled my order she held it with both hands. It was GINORMOUS! This gargantuan penis shaped donut made a thudding sound as she dropped it in my box which took up a a quarter of the space. With all the mishaps and having to wait in line, though it was quite annoying as I grew impatient waiting for these donuts, I will definitely return again, but I won't be waiting in line. Lesson learned.

    Had to check it out, had driven by and saw people waiting 30mins for donuts? Went at 11pm on a Sunday night and still had to wait 15min that is crazy! Cool place great place to people watch being that it's in a "great" part of town. Donuts are good definitely on the $$$ side but you got to get the cock n balls. The menu is a mofo to read real small and 20 feet away from the register. Cash only operation which is not the most convenient. All in all a must in Denver and good fat free eatin!

    Went today at 5:30am not expecting a line and I was right. Sadly I thought no line would mean no long wait but I was mistaken. There were 2 people in from of me and it took 20 minutes before I hit the counter to order. Why does it take them 10 minutes per customer? I wanted to pull my face off in frustration. To make matters worse some colfax scum was behind me in line asking people if he could cut because he had to go to work. After 10 minutes of listening to this he saw the tiny print of the cost of each donut and left. I guess I'll try it again in a year or so. The coffee wasn't bad so there's that

    CASH ONLY. There is a (slow) ATM inside. Went on Friday evening (5pm), waited in line for about 50 minutes to get our donuts. The big thing I noticed that was holding up the line, was that no one has a clue what they want when they get up to the counter. Sure, there could be more open registers, but in reality I saw a lot of people walking up to the counter squinting at the menu (which is very small), saying "uhhhhhhhh, ummmm, maybe this one? No two of that one" when it is their turn. Not only that but people are buying dozens of donuts to make the wait worth it. The donut menu is online, I suggest people take a moment to figure out a game plan before coming in: voodoodoughnut.com/dough… Or have someone hold your spot, while you scope out the menu/donuts and report back to your friend. We got the Voodoo Doll (very good jelly filling), Captain My Captain (Captain Crunch), The Loop (Fruit Loops) for $5. I won't be back for another month or so until the crowds (hopefully) die down.

    Yes, the "magic is in the hole" unless its filled with cream and then you'll make it erupt, when you take a bite, won't you. All the innuendos traveled well across the Rocky Mountains but the place just doesn't have the same feel as the original, exposed brick, hole in the wall that I've known as Voodoo Doughnuts the two times I entered its walls. I have been a fan of this establishment since I wandered in on a warm summer day in 2007...Oh wait that was the original in Portland. This place, while just as snarky, loses a few points. Why? The inside is a little too modern and bright in my opinion but it fits into the whole plaza scheme they have going on here. Also there is and has been a ginormous line for the stupid things whereas Portlanders know its good and are not that desperate. Geezus Denver...get a grip. So I waited in said line because hell who knows when I'm going back to Portland. I know, I just called you guys (myself) out. The donuts however are the same. The grape ape is insanely good, a burst of grape-y (artificial) flavor. I also enjoy me some Old Dirty Bastard (chocolate, oreos, peanut butter? what isn't good about this). The memphis Mafia is serious business and I can't quite get the banana flavor out of the mound of fried, glazed dough covered in chocolate and peanut butter frosting layers. It's still good but I left it (albeit a huge piece leftover) wanting more. The mango tango is too much. Its too sweet with jelly and frosting and glazing... I like the tang frosting though. Next up on my taste test is that tang donut they offer. The cock-n-balls is just a bigger, funner version of the Portland cream...and who doesn't want that?? They blast rock music (like most of Denver anyway) and your wanna be hip but tatted crowd awaits in the sprawling line. It really only takes 30 minutes. Not that bad considering the wait for say...a cronut.

    I had so much fun standing in line. I have no idea why - I normally despise waiting in line. Perhaps it was because I was there in the company of some friends. There seemed to be some camaraderie with the people also waiting patiently for donuts. There were a couple of us who really had a chance to bond while waiting a small eternity for the ATM to dispense money to us. I'm not complaining, I mean, it's not like the line was snaking along at any real quick pace; I had nowhere else to be. Oh, to those Yelpers who mentioned that it was a cash only place: you're awesome. I wish I'd remembered the sage wisdom before I'd stood in line for twenty minutes and had to use the archaic little ATM, but whatever! I felt like I'd won a prize when I got to the counter. The folks working the front were super nice and helpful, and they probably could have given me a pink box of tissues and I would have left giddy. I had no idea what the big deal was, but it's been forever since I've gotten caught up in the excitement of the next new thing, it didn't really matter. So far, none of this is helpful at all as far as a review goes, I know. Here's what tips I can share: 1) Pretend you're in line for security at the airport. It smells much better than an airport, and you're not having to drag carry-on luggage or remove your belt and spare change when you get to the front. You are, in fact, embarking on an adventure. 2) Get the donut with the rice krispies on it. It had peanut butter and chocolate and was delicious. No idea what it was called. I didn't know what to get, so it was just a freak discovery. 3) The maple bacon thing - I bought one, because everyone was all OMGMAPLEBACON, and it was OK and all, but I didn't have an orgasm or anything. That's the right way to judge a donut, yes? Whether or not eating it helps you achieve climax? No? Moving on. 4) The bumper stickers are funny, but surprisingly pricy for being tiny advertisements you stick on your car - I got one for $3.25. 5) Bring your reading glasses. The menu posted on the wall has the prices written in a font that's similar to the bottom line on those eye examination charts. I'll go again, likely when there isn't a ridiculous line. It's a fun place.

    A coworker brought some Voodoo donuts in to work last week. The two I had were "okay" but I think it was only because they were so unusual. I was saved from having to wait in an hour+ line but I don't need to go there now. If they hadn't had all the stuff on them and had just been regular donuts, I don't think I would have enjoyed them at all. They certainly weren't the quality of a Lamar's donut. Having now eaten a couple I honestly don't understand all the hype.

    Omg!! They are so nice and I didn't feel rushed. There are so many awesome types of donuts to pick from and they are all amazing. I just moved to CO and I know this is my new fav spot!! Maple bacon, you better do it;)

    VooDoo Doughnuts has busted into Denver with a craze. I heard that the line was always 3 stores long on Colfax, and figured if they were that good, I had to try them. So one Sunday, I went down there with a friend of mine and waited in that 3 store long line. It took close to 45 minutes to get to the counter. They only had 2 registers open. That baffled me a bit. Do they want it to always look so busy? Maybe that keeps the appeal going. I got up to the counter and honestly didn't have much in mind of what I wanted to get except that I wanted to taste everything. I got an assorted box of 9 doughnuts. They aren't shy about their prices. For 9 doughnuts it was $20. The bacon maple bar was stellar. It was not overly done with maple and the bacon was extra crisp and not soggy like other bacon doughnuts. The peach fitter was a little over the top in quantity. It was larger than my entire hand. My favorite was the Ol' Dirty Bastard. How can you go wrong with peanut butter, chocolate and Oreo crumbled on top. It was magical. All in all, I think the doughnuts were awesome, but not something I would frequently purchase and wait in line for.

    I've been watching food shows about Voodoo donuts for a number of years and was looking forward to visiting the shop in Denver. It lived up to my expectations. We got a couple maple bacon bars, voodoo guys, dirt and a butterfingering. They were all delicious (i didn't eat all of them but definitely tasted each). The wait was about 10 minutes and yeah cash is king.

    It's pretty good if you've got an hour to burn and want a doughnut. Be it an average doughnut, or one that could give you a coronary. I probably won't bother with it ever again though.

  • Mikey P.

    Honestly the best doughnuts that I've ever had in my life! The maple glazed doughnut with bacon strips was BOMB,COM. Its probably a good thing I live far from there because I'd look like fat bastard and have type two diabetus if I lived closer!

  • Chelsi B.

    When I visited Denver we went here and I am so glad that we did. The first time my husband and I tried to go they were sold out! But we went the next day again and, though the line was crazy long, we hot our deliciously crazy doughnuts. Definitely will make this a regular spot when we move.

  • Erica L.

    I came on an off hour so we didn't have to wait. I had no idea they had a Denver location, so I was so excited to visit. Love the theme and ambience- so much fun!! We ordered the voodoo doll, the Bavarian crime one and a grape one. The doughnuts were delish, but very massive and over the top. I could only take a few bites of each before stopping. I think you're really going to say you went and enjoy the hype, but I probably wouldn't go there often in my free time. I'm all about a simple glazed Round Rock doughnut here in Texas :) In summary, you have to go at least once. They make a great gift or snack for a group of people to enjoy. If you want to go and get one for yourself well... Make sure you're not diabetic lol

    I almost never review places after 1 visit/experience but I am living with wreckless abandon right now (judging by the 5 doughnuts I just ate). Gold stars for everyone involved in the experience! To the doughnut chef, its quite possible that I'm in love with you now! To the darling young lass piling doughnuts in that unmistakable pink box, you win a lifetime achievement award! To the great conversationalist waiting next to me in line, thanks for not being weird! Seriously, if you haven't gone here ... go. Now. Drive for miles to come here. Eat doughnuts till your eyes leak sugary glaze. You will not regret it. One last thought. Maple bacon long john? Don't mind if I voodoo (sorry, that pun was inevitable).

  • Ray W.

    Stopped by on the way home from Pinche the other night.picked up a plethora of fun. Dirt, ODB were the two faves. 5 stars for location. Let's be real Denver Voodoo belongs on E Colfax, truth. 3.75 stars for dough nuts- love the creative flavor and names combos. Good amount of density, and flavors are unique. 5 Stars - Staff was super friendly and made the wait worth it. Hopefully, they don't burn out once they help the masses who stare at the options with uncertainty. Thanks for coming to Denver! I am sure many others are excited that we became your 1st city outside of Portland. Partially biased because they are 4 blocks from home? Possibly.

    Eh, no better than dunkn donuts and much slower service... Not sure why the hype or long lines. All the crazy ones are too cray to actually enjoy more than half a bite

  • Angela A.

    Well, the donuts are perfect, I like to say they are the best in the whole wide world! But I'm not sure the wait is worth dealing with. I have been twice and waited longer than I have in Portland. The other morning I went and the line looked doable however, after getting inside I realized there was only 1 person working. So it took over an hour, and it was 6:30 am on Saturday. The thing is, when you finally get to the counter you don't want just a donut, you waited so long you're going to do what everyone ahead of you has done and order a bunch!! I read somewhere they should break up the lines and make one for say 8 or more. I also think that since there is no where to actually sit down and eat them, that also contributes to ordering larger amounts which, leads to a longer time to order. At least in Portland you can sit outside and have a donuts. But all that aside, I do love Voodoo. The texture and consistency is impeccable. I was worried it wouldn't be the same as Portland due to altitude, but they nailed it. I recommend the maple bacon bar and the ODB. Get ready for sugar overload!! I can't wait to take all my out of town visitors here!

  • Chris H.

    Open late a delicious. Can't go wrong! I will add that I would never wait in the long long long lines out the door for these. When I went, there was literally no one else there so that was awesome. No doughnut is worth that to me personally and if I had to wait this rating would probably be lower...if that's useful!

  • Ashley B.

    I had heard so much about Voodoo doughnuts that I wasn't really that excited to go try them; I thought they had a whole bunch of locations and we were just the next store. Turns out, we are the first store outside of Oregon- yay Denver! That and most of their opening team moved here for a while in order to get everything set up; it's nice to think that they committed to the location here in the same way as the ones in Oregon. OK on to the doughnuts! We were eating nearby and decided we would try Voodoo for dessert. *Note that they are not officially open until January 15th, up until then they are in the "flaccid" opening stage*. They're currently opening at 6 am and then 6 pm, selling until they sell out, I think. We arrived around 9:00 pm on a Thursday night, and there were just a few people trickling out the door. We waited around 20 mins, so really not so bad at all! They did only have 2 people filling orders though- that seems like a foolhardy decision. My only other complaint- the menus are so, so teeny that they are absolutely impossible to read. We ended up getting the menu from their website on our phones and looking that way, but they don't have the Denver menu online so it's a bit different. We got up to the counter and ordered: 2 Old Dirty Bastards (peanut butter, chocolate and oreos on top), an Orangotang (vanilla frosting with tang powder and sprinkles), a Mango Tango (mango jelly filled, topped with vanilla glaze and Tang), a Dirty Doughnut (vanilla glaze with Oreos on top), a cake doughnut with chocolate glaze and one with vanilla and sprinkles, a Portland Creme and a Colfax Creme (bavarian creme filled, one chocolate glaze and one maple glaze) and a Voodoo doll (voodoo doll shaped doughnut, filled with raspberry jelly, topped with chocolate glaze and a pretzel stake sticking out). Total was $18 for 10 doughnuts, which isn't cheap but honestly isn't that bad either. So far we've tried all but the Orangatang, and every single one has been really delicious. The raised dough has a good rise, a good "doughnut" flavor, they haven't been greasy *at all*, and the flavors have been really outstanding. The Colfax Creme, and the Voodoo Doll have been my favorites- I normally don't care as much for filled doughnuts but the tangy raspberry jelly was nice and acidic and bright, and the bavarian creme/maple glaze combo on the Colfax Creme was a really great combination. The only one I didn't like was my Mango Tango- I just didn't like the combo of tang and mango jelly, and it didn't have as much mango flavor as I'd like. But I'm chalking that up to personal preference, and since all the others were so delicious, I'm still giving them a 5. My husband said today he'd want to go back because so many other flavors sounded appealing, so that says something. I don't think I'd wait in line for more than 30 mins or so, but if you see a short line, hop on in!

  • Michael S.

    I've had Winchell's, Dunkin's, Crispy Cream and all of the others. I have to whole-kindheartedly disagree with the reviews that state that Voodoo is over-rated. I'm no cop, but I know my doughnuts, and Voodoo's are the best I've had. Sure, every concept isn't going to be for everyone. Just because the Colfax Cream and Grape Ape rocked my world, doesn't mean it will rock yours. But, I'm confident that if you get the nut of dough most similar to your usual favorite, you too will be a fan of Voodoo. I mean, the voodoo they do, they do so well, that people will wait in lines for that sweet sugary crack-like fix. Yay. Colfax.

    I am lucky enough to live just a quarter mile from VooDoo Doughnuts. This means that when I randomly see that there's a short line, I can quickly make my way over and grab some doughnuts. This is exactly what my fiance did last night. So I'm even luckier - I didn't have to stand in line at all! Now, don't be completely fooled. Just because there isn't a line out the door doesn't mean there's not a wait. When he got in line last night, he was the last person able to squeeze inside and ended up waiting for 50 minutes. To my pleasant surprise, I return from my haircut to a beautiful, pink box of a dozen doughnuts. He even waited until I got home to dig in. I knew there was a reason I'm marrying him. Upon opening the box, VooDoo Doughnuts are so colorful and crazy. I didn't know where to start, but the Capt'n Crunch doughnut caught my eye and so that's what I went with. I also grabbed the fruit loops doughnut (I'm a cereal kinda girl). My first reaction? This is a good doughnut. It was so rich and filling. Even though I sat down with two doughnuts, I threw in the towel after just one. I was completely stuffed. So far, I've had the Capt'n Crunch doughnut and the grape doughnut (for breakfast this morning). The Capt'n Crunch doughnut was unique and very good. Surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet, and I'm sensitive to that. The grape doughnut wasn't exactly my favorite. It tasted like the fake grape flavoring they put in popsicles. But I have more doughnuts waiting for me back home and will update my review after I've eaten a few more. The thing is this - I'm from the east coast. I moved here from DC and made many trips to NYC in the time that I lived there. The east coast has some AWESOME "gourmet" doughnut shops. VooDoo Doughnuts are not gourmet doughnuts and do not compare to gourmet doughnuts - hence the four stars. HOWEVER, they're still very good and beat the pants off of Krispy Kremes or Dunkin Donuts. So, will I return? Yes. Do these hit the spot when I'm craving some NYC-style gourmet doughnuts? No. But I'll take it.

    Customer service was super. They were very helpful and conversational. The chocolate peanut butter Oreo doughnut was a great combination. I love the variety of flavors offered. The store was closing for a wedding this morning, I barely made the cut off in line. I think it's great that they have weddings there but I felt like the timing was a little inconvenient for many late Sunday morning doughnut seekers.

  • Aileen D.

    I've never been here at a normal hour so I'm eternally grateful for the open 24 hours a day aspect. Doughnuts aren't my thing so naturally $3.25 is absurd for a doughnut. With that said, VD is a great funky concept. The service has always been efficient and helpful when I visit at 3 or 4 in the morning. My faves are the jelly filled, esp. The raspberry ones, and the Marshall Mathers. Don't find them too life changing but fun too eat and look at. I've been to the original Portland location too and I think Colfax is a comparable shop in terms of urban flavor.

  • Cameron M.

    It's a must visit in Denver. We went at 10:30pm and the place was packed wall to wall. The line moved pretty fast considering how busy they were. All the doughnuts I tried were delicious. I will definitely be stopping by next time I'm in the area.

  • Aly N.

    Okay so disclaimer - not a huge donut fan so my review should be taken with a a grain of salt. With this being said however, my friends and family love donuts and I have brought them back to California on a couple occasions. The place is a hole in the wall on colfax (not the best area in Denver). It smells of donuts as soon as you walk in so if you're a fan of sweet this is great; however it can be super overwhelming if not. The place can be super packed so be prepared for a long wait if you don't hit it at the right time - there really is no rhyme or reason to the crazy it just gets nuts. The donuts - most people usually tell me they are almost too sweet. They love the concept of donuts with everything on them but when they actually eat them they aren't a huge fan. In short - these can be a ton of fun to bring as presents; however I would not make this a regular donut stop.

  • Rose Y.

    Outstanding donuts, with unique designs and names. They are incredibly fresh and soft, everything. If you're lucky, you can get the donuts while they're warm. I've been here many times and they have never disappointed. Only con I would give this place is that parking absolutely sucks. If you go on a weekday, chances are you can park on Colfax or on side streets. Weekends, however, are a bit harder usually. Since I live in Capitol Hill, I usually just walk, which makes things easier.

  • Athenapex C.

    We noticed this shop just by coincidence walking by because we saw tons of people piling into the stores. We thought they were fun named donuts. We tried a portland cream $1.75 which is a chocolate iced yeast donut with bavarian cream on the inside. Yummy!! We also had the Mango Tango $1.95 which is a white iced with orange powder yeast donut filled with mango jam on the inside. We had a dirty old bastard $1.95 that was a yeast donut iced with chocolate icing and topped with oreo cookies and drizzled peanut butter. The ultimate donut which is huge in size was the Memphis Mafia which is a fried donut that has cinnamon in the batter and is topped with chunky peanut butter and chocolate chips. NOTE: CASH ONLY

    There are so many reviews raving about this place that I'm sure you get the idea. Fantastic doughnuts, cash only, and expect long waits. It's a good idea to pull up the menu since it's basically impossible to understand what anything is based on the menu in the store. Definitely a must try!

  • Liz R.

    Stopped here on my way back home to California. The line was only 20 minutes on a Friday at 10:30am. I ordered a few donuts for my kids and went on my merry ol' way. The donuts were good especially the Captain Crunch one. My kids liked the fruit loops & the voodoo doll. My trip home with this pink box was crazy! The box alone is worth hours of conversation at the airport. I was told I'd be mugged and many offered to either hold my donuts or buy them off of me. I have to admit it was pretty hilarious!

  • Raven G.

    I can see how this place is so famous. I visited Denver with college roommates and Voodoo Doughnut quickly made it to the top of the restaurants to visit. The line was out the door, but it moved quickly, and it was 100% worth it. As a confessed baconaholic, I couldn't pass up on the Maple Bacon Bar - a yeast donut almost the length of my forearm, smothered in sweet maple icing, and topped with countless strips of perfectly cooked bacon. As if that wasn't enough, I couldn't pass on the cleverly named Marshall Matters - a large cake donut topped with vanilla icing and infinite M&Ms (Eminems, if you will). Both donuts were pretty cheap, and for someone who had skipped dinner, I was pretty full afterwards. The slightly cramped venue and lack of descriptions for the donuts on the main menu (I looked them up on my phone) are the only reasons for 4 stars instead of 5. But yep, I can say with confidence that these are the best donuts I've ever had, and I'm already scheming my next visit.

  • Beth W.

    Lined out the door, all I can expect was greatness. The few doughnuts we selected to try were so amazingly fresh. Pretty good variety, would have bought the cock n balls for myself, but chose to try a few other favorites first. The fritters were also good, not my choice, but what I sampled was crispy on the outside and super soft and good in the middle. Cash only establishment and parking was an issue for us.

  • Rachael S.

    The wait is worth your while. First, there's racks upon racks of pretty doughnuts to gaze upon. There are Also, it smells like doughnuts. Finally, when you get up to the counter and get your big pink box of doughnuts, a grin of pure happiness will begin to spread across your face. Imagine my delight when, on my first visit to Voodoo, I discovered that the entire bottom shelf of doughnuts in the carousel display are vegan! So far I've tried a Fruit Loop, a Grape Ape and a Voodoo Doll, which is a raspberry-jam-filled doughnut that comes with a pretzel stick for poking, a Portland Creme, a Colfax Creme, and an Old Dirty Bastard. I haven't picked a favorite yet.

    So after all the hype died down ...And since i love donuts...i decided to weigh in on Voodoo.... After three rounds of donuts....three different times.....here it is...I love em! Haven't had a bad one yet...not to say that might never happen..but...for now I'm one happy person.... the "miami vice" is my personal favorite and anything with filling.... Donuts are my weakness and Voodoo aims to please... I read that other people complain that they are too sweet....I think thats a ridiculous claim....they are made to be a sugar overload.... So here it is...YUM The parking is crap...but anything on colfax is .... ill be back for sure...next time ill take pics....my phone was in the car ;/ enjoy

  • Danielle S.

    I had heard about Voodoo from my friend who lives here, and she raved about it. I have also seen them on some food shows...so this was a must try when I came here to visit, and they did not disappoint. These doughnuts aren't for breakfast, they are for dessert! They do have some of your "normal" flavors, but then they have so many that I really have not seen at other places. I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted. My absolute favorite was the Old Dirty Bastard. I haven't been able to stop talking about it since I got back. People give me funny looks when I tell them the name, but you seriously need to try it. You can't go wrong with peanut butter and oreos. I had a few others as well, and all were very good. They do not take credit - cash only! More than likely, you will be waiting in line, because this place is so popular. Looking up the flavors online before you go is a good idea since their menu is kind of small and hard to read in line.

  • Paul A.

    I think this place has a pretty fair rating on Yelp right now, as they are not exactly the best donuts I have had in Denver. However, I do dig what Voodoo does and the toppings are in fact amazing. My 3 favs: 1) Chocolate and Peanut cake donut 2) O.D.B. 3) Voodoo Donut If you do come here, definitely try one of the cake donuts. They are pretty legit. Also, the line moves fast and was pretty short around 2:30 when I got there. There are definitely more artisanal options made with more love, but for just all-out donut absurdity it doesn't get much better than this spot.

  • Anitra S.

    I'm a fan of artesian styled doughnuts, and I also enjoy the over all theme of the shop. There are obituaries towards the back, and the one that has a bacon in it is something I find myself craving all the time. Beware guys, it's addictive.

    (5)

  • Vince B.

    A bit of a squandered opportunity. But still very good. Extremely cakey, sweet donuts that are delightfully gimmicky. while the flavorings and dressings are great, Im just not in love with the dough itself. other places manage to fry up flakier, nicer dough. Not that these are bad donuts by any measure, but I often leave feeling like they can do a bit better. Personal favorite is the Mango Jelly by far. Overhyped? probably. But worth checking out.

  • Cherie C.

    It was fun going here. We were in and out within 15 minutes but that's probably because we went on a Thursday in the mid-afternoon. We got the dozen and had the cashier pick them out for us. He gave us a nice variety of the traditional donuts and their crazy ones! Everyone who tried one in our family loved them.

  • Jennifer P.

    Really cool place to visit but just some warnings: Cash only. Parking on the street only...you might get towed parking other places. These are fine, handcrafted donuts...you have to be patient! You have to be secure enough to walk out with a pink box. Fritters are the size of your face...don't wuss out. It is delish! If you are lucky enough to wait in line with a regular, take their advice and get the smaller Tangtastic donut...not the oh what a Peach fritter. If you are lucky enough to go with kids, the counter crew will quietly cough out the obscene names of some of the donuts (ODB for instance). My kids never even noticed.

    They had me at Old Dirty Bastard Doughnut. If Peanut The Kidnapper was still alive, I know he'd appreciate his namesake doughnut made of PB & Oreos. I love the chain's concept and the donuts seemed to be of a good quality. Worth a visit!

    I've been waiting to step foot through a Voodoo Donuts for more than 7 years. I was holding out for a Portland, Oregon experience (you can actually get married legally in at least one of the Portland stores) but am glad I didn't wait any longer (my friends who moved here from Portland said the Denver voodoo donuts are actually way tastier than in Portland). The parking was truly lacking. This is the second attempt at going to Voodoo due to parking and thankfully we were eventually able to get a spot out front. There was a near empty parking lot in the rear however the tow possibility seemed to high. The store actually announced between song playlists that it was "street parking only" and recommended that people parked illegally go move their cars immediately because they will be towed (sounded like a sure thing so we moved the vehicle). Due to the rain the line did not extend past the front doors but was still snaking from the front door to the registers. I really enjoyed the electronic menus however it would have been most helpful for the donuts to be described so I had a clue what they entailed (really - what do you envision that an "old dirty bastard" donut tastes like?). There were some helpful rotating displays however the donuts weren't labeled within and the signage near the front indicated that one must "stay back" from the pink tape on the floor. Turns out the rotating displays also included a picture/key to put a name (from the menu board) to the actual donut). My guess is that if this "key" was more readily accessible, perhaps via a poster one could view while in line the queue would move much much faster. When we finally made it up to the register we noted a sign that stated a box of "day old" donuts was just $5. We requested this first because even though we'd picked the donut of our dreams how could we turn down a box of donuts for $5. Thankfully (or not thankfully) there were no $5 boxes available so we went with a "Voodoo bubble" (yeast donut, vanilla frosting, bubble gum dusting, and a piece of bubble gum) and "Old dirty bastard" (yeast donut with chocolate frosting, peanut butter drizzle and oreos). The donuts were actually quite yummy (only one of the two made the drive back to Boulder unscathed). I'll definitely be back with some donuts of my dreams picked out ahead of time. *Cash only establishment.

    Gourmet artisan overpriced donuts that feel too sugary to start your day seem to be hottest trend in sweets lately, giving variety and competition to the cupcakery and frozen yogurt shop. This storefront is colorfully attention grabbing. I passed this store a few times at different times of the day/night, and there was a line each time. By the time we went, there was a line but it moved quickly. There are so many flavors, what a selection! I tried the buttermilk bar doughnut -- small, rich and sweet. I don't really think these are overpriced. All gourmet artisan donuts are overpriced all over the country. Parking probably isn't great but it's a busy street in the city, so that's just urban life! No indoor seating. Cash only.

  • Shea S.

    I've heard many people debate whether Voodoo is worth all the fuss or not. As you can tell from my rating, I fall on the "fan" side of Voodoo. Why? First, their Bavarian cream doughnut is probably the best cream-filled doughnut I've had. The cream is so custard-y, and lots of it. Their apple fritter is actually an apple fritter, not some doughnut abomination that's being passed off as a fritter. And it stays good even a day later, which is no easy feat with a fritter. Yeah, that's right, it's not all a show with the wild, crazy, and humorous doughnuts. They actually make good, classic doughnuts. But of course the fun doughnuts are worth a try too. My favorite is the Old Dirty Bastard - a frosted doughnut with peanut butter and Oreo cookie crumbs. A bomb of a doughnut, and all delicious. Why not 5 stars? It's cash only, which I get it, but at the same time it's 2015 - take a card. They do have an ATM on-site that doesn't have too bad of a fee. But it's really the small TV displays with the menu written in unreadable font unless you're a hawk that's a graphic designer. I doubt someone with 20/20 vision can read those, let alone a four-eyes like me. A big chalk board on the wall would be more appropriate. So have their online menu loaded on your phone before you arrive. To reward you for reading this novel of a review, I'll leave you with a pro tip: bourbon. Yes, bourbon. Coffee is great with their doughnuts, but bourbon is even better. You're welcome.

    There are so many reviews, my words don't even matter. So, I'm going to tell a story or two. Story one. Back in the day, I went to Portland in high school. This was when Voodoo was selling Sudafed donuts. I bought one, and a maple bacon bar. Again, this is before the whole maple bacon craze caught on. I got jacked on Sudafed donut, and soothed by the maple bacon one. It made my visit to Portland surreal and awesome. Another time, the owner of Voodoo came behind the bar where I work, pooched his butt out, and rammed it into my butt as he said, "BEEP. BEEP. BEEP." Then he introduced himself. Instant butt bond. This is a weird ass business, but somehow they make it work. I gotta support the weird. Good things come in pink boxes. It's a joke about vaginas, get it?

    I haven't been here but my friend's gf brought some over and its the shit. I like donuts in general but this place has some interesting gourmet type donuts. Just tried the mango tango full of sugar and killed it. If they had one in San Diego, I would probably be overweight and obese. It's that good.

    Long lines...mean amazing donuts. I can't describe how good these are....how much of a sugar rush you grt when eating it.....anf how gluttonous you feel after. Late night drunk munchies....or a weekend treat...or anytime really... voodoo is really great.

    Open 24/7, CASH only, and they have donuts called Cock and Balls. So either you are in for some savory donuts (Maple Bacon Bar) or you just want some cock and balls... you should check it out. Line moved relatively fast, friendly service, and a lot of selections. On my visit, we got a lil bit of everything. Surprisingly, they were all pretty tasty and not too sweet. I ordered the Old Dirty Bastard and once I saw it, I was thinking dang.. this is going to be sweet.... but to my happy surprise, i ate it up without feeling like I ate a sack of sugar. Street Parking, ATM inside, and milk available for purchase. Definitely stop buy if you are craving some donuts, up late and having a sweet tooth, or if you want to gift anyone some donuts. P.S. If you order the Cock and Balls, you can get a word or name or anything written on the balls.

    Overly frosted donuts that all taste the same other than subtle differences in the bitterness of the food dyes used in coloring. If you're not coming for the gimmick, don't bother. Sorry that I'm not on board with the hype. Actually I'm not sorry; I'm writing this for you, not me. I like donuts in the shape of penises or with skeleton pictures on them as much as the next guy. I refuse to stand in line for them unless they're actually good donuts. These are just kind of barely OK. Even that concession is a leniency. DD is rich and filling, KK is light and also (oddly) filling... VD makes me wish I had a tall glass of water or whatever else to wash the yeasty sticky business out of my face. I'm not sure what the appeal for Voodoo is other than the uniqueness: the batter is not good (vaguely sour) and the frosting is terrible. Really terrible. Cheap birthday cake terrible. I don't care if you draw well with it; it's still putting lipstick on a pig. Sorry Voodoo. I know by your waiting lines that you get tons of business and that my review will not affect that. I'm just being honest with you. The extra star is for effort. I really wish you sold good donuts. Edit: I just read that it's CASH ONLY?? What the dude? That's a paddlin'. Cost: -1*

    I wasn't really blown away by these donuts. I happened to catch the line at the right time, and only had to wait about ten minutes. We sampled a ton of donuts, and while some were good, none of them seemed particularly special. I can't say that I would return, and I definitely wouldn't wait in an hour plus line for them.

    Amazing place, cool experience. Recommend for anyone that doesn't have diabetes. Or for diabetics that like to live dangerously. The amount of combinations this place puts together is madness. The Oreo cookie and the Captain Crunch ones were ridiculous and delicious. I'd grab a random assortment and see which ones you end up with, cant go wrong as everythings insane. Also helps they have an ATM right in the store as its cash only. Make sure to be ready for the lines, its expected, but also worth it. The Maple Bacon doughnut was also as close to God as I've ever come. Go here now.

    I give 5 stars to their Old Fashioned Chocolate and Glazed donuts. The rest are way to cake-y and once the novelty of weird toppings wears off, they're gross. Also the ones with cereal on them - the ceareal is always stale. I've been to the one in Portland and this one is much easier to navigate.

    I want DOUGHNUT! They must've put a spell on them... These pink boxes everywhere... I see them in my dreams! Even the bar next door allows pink boxes! I didn't understand the sign until I saw the the stacks of pink boxes in the store. I wanted my own pink box. And i got one :) I got six doughnuts: maple bacon bar, mango tango, mexican hot chocolate, some creamy maple doughnut with filling, triple chocolate (the one with cocoa puffs on it), and the fruit loops one. Favorites: mango tango, bacon maple bar and mexican hot chocolate. Warning the mexcian hot chocolate is spicy! And heat keeps building up as you keep eating. The mango tango is filled with creamy goodness. And well maple and bacon- need I explain?!?! The decor of the place is great. Voodoo everywhere. Doughnuts everywhere and in turnstile display cases. Its definitely worth a peak and a few doughnuts... There is an atm machine inside if you need cash. Cash only...

    Buying doughnuts is a very direct process. However Voodoo has put quite a fun and artistic spin on things. I really enjoyed looking at all of the artwork in the establishment while I waited in there famous never-ending line. The food itself was great! I would imagine it's hard to screw up doughnuts though. There products boarder on more of a cake like product. If you're around the downtown Denver area you need to swing by! Thanks Voodoo Doughnuts!

  • Cassandra F.

    I have to say I haven't been to the location yet, but someone brought a box to work the other day and they were delicious! Super tasty donuts! As the other reviewers have stated, it's cash only and usually busy from what my coworker says. Planning on stopping by next time I'm downtown!

    I've been to voodoo doughnut a few times and each time I've had to wait at least 20-30 min. The only times I've been to this store is when I have friends from out-of-state. I like how funky and pink the store is and love their donut ideas, but the donuts are just OK and the inefficiency in their ordering processing is very frustrating. The menu they have is way to small to see from the outside and if you've never been to the store, you wouldn't know what half of the specialty donuts were by reading the name of it. What they really need is a picture-to-name kind of menu or display on their giant windows or along the lines so people can start thinking of what they want to get while they wait instead of deciding when they get to the counter. Better yet, they should use one of those sushi ordering menus so that they people can mark their orders and the staff can just grab what they want and check them out. Yes your donuts are creative, but the long wait decreases customer satisfaction. I think voodoo can do so much better if they utilize a better process for ordering so that their customers can be in and out more quickly. More people might come despite the average tasting donuts if there wasn't an unnecessarily long line.

    DO NOT PARK IN THE PARKING LOT BEHIND. I mean this is obvious but you're going to think it'll be fine. You're going to think "we'll be in there for like five minutes" and "it's a snowy Sunday, no one is going to notice." But there is a stupid guy waiting in his car, you may not see him, but he sees you. VooDoo donuts makes a point to put up signs and will make an announcement when it's happening. You'll think for a sec, "no way that's mine, I just parked" but embarrassingly you'll run out. $100 later.... some smug butthole in a black truck or red car (we couldn't figure out which one) will be all "you're illegally parked blah blah blah" and says they prefer cash (gives you a receipt but I'm investigating this). JUST DON'T DO IT. SAVE YOURSELF, ENJOY YOUR DOUGHNUT!!!!

    The quality of the donut is average but the variety of unique flavors gives them an extra star. At times the donut quality is better and very smooth and fluffy.

    Do you like doughnuts? Do you appreciate creative presentation & flavorings? Do you like a funky atmosphere? Can you show a little patience during a wait in line & bring some cash? If you answered yes to the above questions, chances are high you will love your Voodoo Doughnuts experience. Yes, the prices are a bit high compared to your average doughnut shop. Most unusual doughnuts are about $1.65-$2.00 each, a few are even higher. But the doughnuts are cool, creative, and FUN. I can't come here all the time (don't live in Denver), but it's totally worth a stop if we are in the area. (Some of the more typical doughnuts on the menu run about $1-$1.20/doughnut.) Favorites: Old Dirty Bastard, Grape Ape, Miami Vice and Dirt. The namesake voodoo doughnut is awesome. My husband and kids have been super happy with their doughnuts both times we've visited. I want to try them all, but can't possibly do that, so I sample a small piece of what they get. Each bite has been a tasty treat! Most recently my daughter & I arrived at about 12:30 pm on a Sunday afternoon. We waited maybe 20 minutes in line, which was fine because I had to decide what to get everyone. No easy task with all the fun choices. I'm sure these are best eaten immediately, but we've always bought enough to save for the next day and they still taste good. Tip: Check your favorite map app and park a few blocks away and walk. You'll work off a tiny amount of the doughnut splurge and you'll have a better chance of getting a spot.

  • Cynthia H.

    When I went, cash-only didn't bother me and there wasn't a line. The donuts were sugar BOMBS. Insanely sweet icing/toppings. The base is just like a generic supermarket yeast donut. Really not exceptional.

    (3)

  • Lindsey K.

    Voodoo is a fun spot. I'm not sure I would wait in line, but I believe it is worth a stop to see and taste all of their wonderfully creative donuts. My favorite of all time is the maple bacon bar. Hands down. Really, I can't bother to rank a second or third after that. I guess one of their chocolate cream filled varieties would be next, like the cock and balls. I usually don't even like cream filled donuts, but they have a good thing going. Remember to bring cash and I would suggest purchasing more than you think you'll eat. A little bite here and there to sample won't hurt anyone!

    (4)

  • Chris S.

    I love their cock and balls in my mouth -- the donut that is. But my favorite is their maple bacon bar. The donuts here are high end in both taste and price, so they may not be the best for the office, good for a once in a while treat. Leave the diet and the credit cards at the door, because neither are welcome. There will be a line. The times I have come, it was around 10PM and there was a 20 minute line. Also, parking isn't the best around there; it's usually a hunt for a parking space.

    I am a voodoo virgin no more. Swung by today-- grabbed a few -- I am now officially a voodoo addict. Especially 'dirt.' The chocolate long john is also proper. Thank god you guys are far enough away to make this a 'special occasion' spot.

  • Ivy T.

    There is the hype and I bought into it. There is always a line here and it is the tongue in cheek donut stop that every looks forward to whenever they are in Portland and/or Denver. It takes Cash Only and there is an ATM inside if you happen to forget your dollar bills at home. I ordered the Peanut Butter and Oreo Donut (not sure what the exact nickname for it is) and the Cinnamon and Sugar donut. I tried the Peanut Butter Donut but I could only eat about 1/3 of it because it was SUPER sweet and rich. Even as a breakfast item it became too much and too redundant after about 4 bites. I moved on to the Cinnamon Donut and it is really packed with Cinnamon where your nostrils will clear up in a couple of bites. That was much too strong for me so I had to leave it too. I think this might've been a case where I just selected the wrong donuts. Supposedly the CockNBalls and Dirty Old Bastard are some good ones that I missed out on. Bottom Line: I might try it again and order something else, in the meantime, I will stay away from ordering the two that I had at Voodoo donuts.

  • Ashley C.

    It's not all hype.. These doughnuts are now my new go to. I've been hearing about this place for almost 3 years now and my only regret is that I waited so long! Cash only but they do have an atm inside.

  • Alan N.

    A few interesting doughnuts, good stuff and they actively make doughnuts for most of the day. Honestly, not too sure what the hype is, they're interesting doughnuts but nothing to wait in line for hours. I went on a weekday and I waited about 5 minutes and that felt about right. I think they change flavors all the time so try them out, I recommend going at odd times on weekdays.

  • Varvara Y.

    Everyone recommended these when I moved here and after trying I just don't think I have enough of a sweet tooth. Amazing donuts but too much frosting and such for me.

  • Brant M.

    I had a few hours in Denver and I was told I needed to go here. It lived up to the hype! We grabbed a dirt and a voodoo doll donut. Both were good sized and delicious! The line was a bit long but it was worth the wait. I highly recommend Voodoo Donuts! The very interesting donuts looked amazing too! If your looking for a delicious donut or a crazy one this is the place!

    (5)

  • FatKi D.

    THE most overrated place in all of Denver. It's just donuts with fruit loops on them! OMG purple frosting?!?! I must stand in line for an hour. I think Lamar's has better donuts. Also try Glazed and Confused or Walton's. They can have my $2, I want my 30 minutes I waited in line behind future/current diabetics who were giddy at the thought of getting colored frosting and took 10 minutes each to order. And their coffee is more expensive than Starbucks. I know the super annoying hipster crowd is willing to stand in line forever and pay $3 for a cup of Folgers just so they can say they are better than everyone, but I'm not. I also don't think they accept cards. To fill you all in this is so they can make a heftier profit and reap rewards from the ATM fees that people incur in their waiting area. Went once, never went back; lived less than two blocks away.

  • Charisse O.

    I love donuts, and I thought this place was delicious! My favorite is the Dirt Donut, which is a regular yeast donut with vanilla frosting and oreo pieces on top! So good. I also tried their Voodoo Donut (the one that looks like a little guy being stabbed with a pretzel). I'm not a fan of jelly donuts, so I wouldn't get it again. Just an FYI for those who didn't know this, their Voodoo Dozen is a dozen donuts that THEY choose. The entire time I was in line, I thought that I could get 5+ Dirt Donuts and 2+ Voodoo Donuts to save lots of money. Whoops. The wait time is a hit-or-miss. I went after dinner (bad idea on my part), and of course the line was ridiculous; it went out pass the store next door. I lost track of time on how long I waited. Last time my friend went, he said that no one was there! I heard this rumor, so I am not sure it is true (maybe other reviews can confirm this), but if you go really late at night (maybe around 2AM), they give you a bucket of donuts for really cheap.

  • Von A.

    Theres an atm in the store - which helps in case you forget that they only take cash? ... really? I happy to say that i've been to 3 of the 4 stores that Voodoo has. Some may argue that this place is all hype - but I seem to enjoy every visit, as much as the first. My favorite still has to be the Maple Bacon Bar. The bacon on top is crisp, smokey and salty - not chewy, which I was afraid of initially. The Maple icing was sweet, rich, and nutty. This is a perfect combination of flavors. 4 donuts - depending on the variety will probably cost you around $10. Well worth it!

  • Donna H.

    Wow really gone downhill stopped by middle of the afternoon on a Monday and line wasn't too bad. I love getting the voodoo dolls. People get a kick out of how they're decorated. But what I got looked nothing like a doll or any creature I've seen before, or the one on display. I like to bring these to work to give co workers a laugh but while it tastes fine it makes me think maybe it's not worth the trouble parking, standing in line and finding cash for a blob with colored squiggles on top.

    (3)

  • Valery L.

    This place is amazing and there is nowhere else you can find more versions of a donut than here. I still, however, prefer the clean simple-ness of a Krispy Kreme (oops!). I suggest they arrive in 2015 and start accepting plastic.

    (4)

  • Cleda W.

    There was a line but that's expected. We didn't know what we wanted. Even though all of the doughnuts were listed on screen, as first timers we didn't know what they were. So we looked on their website. Amazing. The cock and balls has the Bavarian cream and a whole bunch of chocolate on top. It was so delicious. I'm taking the rest back to Illinois with me so I'm not sure how the others taste, but I'm sure they are amazing. Quick service. Cash only. Don't worry if you forget to bring cash....there's an ATM in the store! They also have restrooms!

  • Jessica H.

    I don't normally get doughnuts anywhere else besides Voodoo, so I can't say much about how these doughnuts compare with other ones. All I can say is that the doughnuts have quirky names, are fantastically decorated, and taste like little clouds of sugary heaven. I think I've eaten almost half of the doughnuts on their menu and have so far really liked the Butterfingerring, Dirty Bastard, No Name, and Colfax Cream. Some tips: - read the menu online before you go, or at least while you're waiting. They don't have descriptions of their doughnuts on the menu board. - bring cash. They have an ATM there, but if you don't want to pay that silly service fee, just bring enough cash. - always shut the door after you -- when you're leaving and when you're entering. Otherwise the employees have to keep asking you to close the door - And of course, DON'T PARK IN ONE OF THOSE PARKING LOTS. FIND STREET PARKING. I know they look tempting, but you will most certainly get a parking ticket, even if you're gone for minute.

  • Jackie T.

    I've had many co-workers and patients bring in Voodoo Doughnuts. I think they are absolutely delicious; however, they are completely way too sweet for my taste and I love sweets. I would still recommend Voodoo's to doughnut lovers, just for them to try.

    (3)

  • Ashley A.

    The variety of doughnuts you can find here are uncommon in LA- so I was excited to try their goodies. I was happy to discover that these doughnuts are a real treat. Mega delicious and uniquely crafted. I tried the Neapolitan and the peanut butter (with chocolate) banana fritter, freaking amazing. As a sweets aficionado- I couldn't help but inhale each one. A LITTLE EMBARASSED- but not regretful at all. SO GOOD. I also adore their pop-art adorned walls, complimented by chandeliers, and surprise guest appearances by spiderman and chubbaca. Funky little atmosphere they got going on here- but well kept and fun to look at! Would recommend this doughnut spot to out of towner's, as a must see and must eat. Especially because they're 24/7 you can catch them anytime. Would also recommend if you're a local and are tired of OG glaze- "live a little" & try this place.

    I was in Denver for 4 days and went to Voodoo twice!!!! That right there should tell you how good these puffed pastries are. First night we drove over to voodoo after doing a bit of shopping at Cherry Creek Mall. Talk about beginners luck. We found a spot in front of the store. Free evening parking (street parking is metered) and there was maybe 5 people in front of us. In and out in less than 10 minutes. We ordered the Voodoo dozen sampler. I know that's not the correct name but basically you allow the guys behind the counter to pick which doughnuts they want to put in your box. There are some pretty weird combos and names, but ya know what....... IT WORKS!!! Before I left Denver I picked up a second box of voodoo dozen. We were the most popular people at Denver International. That bubble gum pink box is recognizable everywhere and I literally held on to it as if my life depended on it. Voodoo puts a spell on who ever eats one of these treats, as I type this review I have a uncontrollable desire to bite into buttermilk bar, which was by far my favorite.

  • Sarah G.

    These donuts live up to the hype! I'm a very skeptical person. When a place is over-hyped, super trendy, and the latest "must have", I always go in with open eyes. These delicious donuts do not disappoint!! The donuts are very thick and "cake like". They are not light and airy as some donuts ca be. The frosting is spot on. The names are hilarious. The creativity is unmatched. The service is awesome. The guy at the counter was joyful and made waiting in line entertaining. The best part was that I bought the donuts on a Thursday morning, carried them on a flight to Orange County on Friday, and they were still delicious on Saturday. I'm a believer!! Can't wait to go back.

  • Leanna C.

    So much going on. I know the main draw of VooDoo doughnuts is that they are crazy flavors and tons of toppings but in my opinion the actual donuts aren't that good. Take away all the crazy toppings and pound of sugary toppings they put on top and you will ultimately be left with a sad excuse for a donut. That being said they do have good toppings on their donuts from maple bacon to fruit loops. Ultimately it's too much for me and the donut itself isn't as appetizing. Most people I know try it once to say they've been there and never return.

  • Linda E.

    Down south...where I stay, we may be switchin 4 lanes but we only have 1 choice when it comes to donuts..glazed or chocolate glazed. It's a shame houston doesn't have a vodoo's where we can choose from the delicious donuts. I think a place like this would fare well. We ordered 3 the classic vodoo, chocolate on chocolate and the cocks and balls donut. The donut itself was very soft and tasty. There were a lot of other flavors I really wanted to try but not enough room in my tummy! I would recommend this place but would choose a variety. We stuck to chocolate and well it was chocolate overload...

  • Kristin M.

    We all know the saying..."don't knock it before you try it". I have been skeptical to try this place because 1) pictures don't look that appetizing and who wants a soft doughnut covered in so much gunk (I don't even like sprinkle doughnuts) and 2) I think the spot is overly hyped with management-induced long line (sure they could open another register, but a good long is good for business, right?). Well, I finally tried Voodoo Doughnut and.....I give in. I liked it. All of the raised yeast donuts were a little heavy and dense for my liking at first, as I am used to more fluffy versions, but now I find myself craving these squishy dense delights. We got an assorted box with: Dirt (raised yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting & oreo crumbs) - I can't help it I love Oreos and the frosting wasn't too sweet McMinnville Cream (yeast doughnut with maple frosting & filled with bavarian cream) - I thought the maple frosting would be overly sweet, but it was quite good and the bavarian cream gave a pleasant balance Tex-Ass Challenge (giant yeast doughnut) - just so so, nothing special No Name Doughnut (raised yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, rice crispies, & peanut butter) - not bad, the balance was good with the chocolate, peanut butter, and rice crispies to mellow out the sweetness. However, the rice crispies were a little stale. Not my cup of tea and probably wouldn't order again, but chocolate peanut butter lovers will love it. Mexican Chocolate (cake doughnut with cinnamon sugar & cayenne pepper) - fantastic! I often make my brownies with cayenne pepper - such a great combination. And they say cayenne increases your metabolism, so you don't have to feel as guilty eating this doughnut. Cinnamon Sugar (cake doughnut) - just as good as I have had elsewhere - I was suprised, I will admit

  • Jade Q.

    It didn't live up to my expectations, but it was still good. I don't even know what the names of the donuts were that I ordered, but one was basically a maple custard donut and the other has white frosting and crumbled Oreos all over it. Both were really good, but in terms of quality, they were the same as any donut shop anywhere. I expected a bit better quality, but really, Voodoo Doughnut is all about the marketing. They are reinventing the wheel. Really, if a donut is a wheel, they just changed its shape and color. The line was crazy long, probably about 20 minutes (and that was considered short, as a much longer line formed behind us). My friend said that when he's visited at 5am, there hasn't been a line. The boxes are very cute. I only bought 3 donuts all together, and we still got one of their awesome boxes. I'd recommend trying it at least once just to see what its all about because it is quite the experience aesthetically. I'm definitely not going to be a regular, though.

  • Alex N.

    Had to give this one 5 stars. Better than the doughnuts I had at the original Portland location. The gay bar was superb, and so was the Voodoo doll. Both of them were two of the best doughnuts I've ever had. And the Portland Cream is always a winner. I highly recommend sticking with the yeast doughnuts. I think their cake doughnuts and fritters are average at best. For some of the best cake doughnuts you will probably ever try, I'd recommend Beet Box. I didn't have to worry about parking. I walked there and got an Uber on the way back after eating my doughnuts at the bar next door. I was on vacation, so I had nothing but time. So I didn't mind waiting in the line. Just kind of part of the experience. If you're a local, I could see how the parking and lines could be irritating, but for me, it didn't matter.

    With apologies to The Atomic Fireballs and "Man with the Hex" . . . Gotta get me a pastry. (Doughnut?) Oh, Doughnut with the power. (What power?) Oh, the power of Voodoo (Who do?) Oh, you do, you do (Do what?) Gotta get me a pastry. (Doughnut?) Yeah, Doughnut with the power. (What power?) Yeah, the power of Voodoo (Who do?) Yeah, you do, you do (Do what?) uh ah, Voodoo Save us, save us! Driving down Colfax on Cinco de Mayo eve (weekend?) I spied, with my little eye, that the line at Voodoo Doughnuts was barely out the door. A quick parking job later, I found myself waiting in line to try that fried sugary treat that I had been craving for many months, but had been unable to obtain. A scant 15 minutes later, and I was at the front of the line trying to make my final selections. Voodoo Doughnuts, for those who have not been, is cash only. The ATM was KO'd on this day, but I was fortunate enjoy to have a Hamilton on me (it is not always about the Benjamins). The Bacon Maple Bar doughnut (Raised yeast doughnut with maple frosting and bacon on top!) had been tantalizing me for quite some time, so this purchase was non-negotiable. The praises of the Old Dirty Bastard doughnut (Raised yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, Oreo'sâ„¢ and peanut butter!) had recently been sung to me, so this also went in the pretty pink box. For my final selection, I asked the helpful "do-nut slinger" behind the counter to recommend one. He mentioned the Miami Vice Berry doughnut (Raised yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting, blue raspberry powder and pink sprinkles!), and that sounded good to me. I had them throw in a container of cold milk, paid my bill, and I was off. A few minutes later, I was hunkered on stoop, deciding where to start. I saved the ODB and Miami Vice for later, and went to town on the Bacon Maple Bar. It was good, very good, damn good! It was definitely one of the best maple bars I have enjoyed. The bacon was a nice touch. However, at $3.25, I felt I spent rather too much on the sizzle, and not the steak. When I enjoyed the other two at my leisure, at a later time, I think I appreciated their flavors (and pricing) more than that magnificent bacon abomination. Were the doughnuts life changing? Probably not. Would I wait in line for an hour to purchase some? Highly doubtful. Were they nice and tasty? You bet your sweet bippy! So, if you are ever waiting in that longish line, and plan on seeing me later in the day, be sure to shoot me a message to see if you can pick anything up for me. I would sure appreciate it.

    I guess I built this place up in my mind after seeing it on Food Network years ago. I probably also ordered wrong so this review might not hold much weight. I got chocolate coconut and it tasted like a regular donut. I got the Oreo peanut butter for a friend and she said it was amazing so I'm going with that next time!

  • A Marie J.

    Seemed like a good idea to get donuts at 3:30 in the morning. Voodoo was close so why not. What I got was a huge box of deliciousness. They have a huge selection and fun flavors with names like ol dirty bastard. All for the not so reasonable price of $24.00. Pretty expensive for a box of donuts. I started questioning my good idea.

    I love SWEETS I love DOUGHNUTS Finally was able to try this place (here for a business trip). Awesome store that opens 24/7 and that bakes Fresh Doughnuts every hour. Over 40 selections, Prices are between $ 2.00 - $ 5.00 - Original VooDoo Doughnut - First couple of bite was good, but then it got too sweet and the Raspberry Jelly was on one side of the doughnut and got too messy. They need to figure it out how to balance the Jelly inside the doughnut. - Bacon Maple Bar Doughnut - Again, It was good the first 2 bites, and then It got too sweet that I couldn't finish it. - Grape Ape Doughnut - One or my favorites since is plain Doughnut with Vanilla and grape flavor frosting. It's good to have it once in a blue moon. Street parking, depending on what time you're going, lines can be ridiculously long or you don't have to wait. *************************CASH ONLY ************************ **************************OPEN 24/7*************************

    Fun vibe, better apple fritter can be found at 7-11. Seriously. But you can't get a donut in the shape of a big ol boner at 7-11. Coffee is good. Fun vibe. Three stars: I won't drive across town for this, but if it were late and I were drunk, probably.

  • Katie E.

    The doughnuts are good, but their quirky creations attract more than their taste. The cash only policy is slightly inconvenient. Beware of the parking situation. There is street parking only -- If you park out back in the parking lot, your car WILL get booted the second you walk away by a man sitting in his car just waiting for you to risk a ticket for the 10 minutes you'll be make getting your doughnut fix. He will charge you $100 to take the boot off and you will have bought the most expensive $8 worth of doughnuts you've ever had. It definitely diminishes the doughnuts' satisfaction significantly...

    $$$CASH ONLY$$$ (Nov 2014) I remember with equal parts fondness and embarrassment the days of my vegan youth when I went to Portland and marched right into Voodoo Doughnut. I nearly pee'd my pants with glee. Not only were there crazy concocted donuts, but many were in totally vulgar shapes aaaaaand there were vegan options aaaaand only disaffected punk rockers were slinging them. If memory serves there was also a juke box and some vintage arcade games? I dunno. It was a while back. But it was a rocker's haven. Some of that has been transplanted into this Denver location, though everything is cleaner and a little more institutional. That's ok, they need to appease all the suburbanites-who-just-moved-to-the-city. Know your market. There are still snarky and pierced people behind the counter (which tickles me pink). There are still odd donuts topped with strange things. But about 60% of the grit is gone which makes paying $3 for a donut that is so disgustingly sweet and over-topped that even my queen of a sweet tooth recedes into my gums. The foundation donut actually is pretty tasty (love me some yeast-risen goodness) - it's the glaze and frosting that just kills it for me. These are way more 'junk food hangover' donuts than fancy donuts - which is fine - maybe I've just aged out of it. I now prefer something like an artisanal delicate lavender donut with slightly savory rosemary glaze (my 20 year-old self just flipped me off and punched me in the face). Also, if you don't want the wait, there are always off hours. Weeknights after 11pm are consistently dead, which bodes well for we, the somnambulists, who live/d in the neighborhood.

    I don't normally splurge on doughnuts because a) it's hard enough keeping my weight at bay even with fewer carbs, increased veggies and a sizable amount of biking, and b) I'm diabetic. It's a curse, especially if you love carbs. I will, however, fly in the face of danger here and there when the opportunity presents itself. I was, in fact, walking to Torta Grill (a place I found does "food swaps" with Voodoo -- lucky coexistence!) when I noticed I was in front of Voodoo. I just rolled my eyes, shrugged, and decided I'd carve another notch in my belt here -- or maybe loosen it another notch. :P Voodoo has a solid...I don't even know if I can call it a hipster vibe. When I went in around 3pm, there were business professionals, high school kids, hipsters, 2 goths, some day laborers that had just gotten off. It was pretty crowded. The server at the counter I spoke with told me this was "slow" for them. Just blows my mind imagining them at "rush hour". There are a huge assortment of specialty-created donuts here. Or doughnuts. I really don't know if there is a specific difference when one could use 1 spelling or the other preferably. There is a big rotating tower filled with confections for your viewing pleasure. The bottom tier is the least expensive, which are "cake donuts". Smaller, more solid, less airy - but that doesn't mean you're shorting yourself here getting one of those. There is a crazy assortment of toppings on all of their treats here, ranging from just plain sugar to sprinkles, breakfast cereal (Captain Crunch and crunch berries were on one), M&Ms, bacon...a LOT to choose from. The next tier up is the "yeast-raised" doughnuts, which are softer and airier -- but by no means hollow. The bigger, soft sugar-or-chocolate glazed kind is probably what most people have run into here, or jelly-filled; but there are more than a few to choose from here. Finally on top, there are specialty pastries and bearclaws. I settled on a mango goo-filled vanilla and Tang-frosted-top smeared yeast doughnut, and the peach fritter topped with cream cheese frosting. I *think* the Mango Tango was $2-something; the peach fritter was $3.25. The *size* of that fritter could easily feed 4 people -- it would eclipse a younger child's head if you held it up to block. (Right before they chomped down on it.) I ate about 1/3 of the fritter last night post-bar return and was very satisfied, and swirled down into a happy dazy ready-for-bed state of mind. If you're tired of the same ol' same ol' with fried dough, check this place out and treat yourself to something special. (The staff, also, was really helpful too.) As others have noted, *bring cash* -- they do not do cards here (but supposedly there is an ATM on the premises).

    These donuts are amazing. Seriously the best donuts I've ever had. The dough is so fluffy. The mafia is totally worth $4

    I'm not a huge doughnut person, at least not in my older years. However, I loved doughnuts as a kid. But, if I'm going to eat a doughnut, I'm eating it from VooDoo. My lord these doughnuts are good. And who can't love a doughnut called the "old dirty bastard".

  • Marianne L.

    Fun place to try, but all of us agreed that our half dozen we got were all too sweet. I have a medium case of sugar tooth, but it was too much for me by the last third of my donut. So if nothing is too sugary for you, you should definitely check this place out!

    I'm mystified why this place is so popular. We made a special trip, and man, were we disappointed. First, the doughnuts: we ordered the Captain My Captain, a Boston creme-like doughnut, and a basic glazed, to get the full spectrum. The glaze on every one of them was clumpy, as if they glopped the last bit out of the pan onto the dough. The Captain My Captain's dough was very chewy and yeasty. Yuk. The service was worse. It was our first time, so when the register opened up, we stepped over to it from the front of the line. The counter guy had gone to get boxes from the back, and when he returned he gave us a sneer and said, "People usually wait until we call them up." I said that it was our first time--sorry, didn't know the rules. He looked at me with another sneer and said, "Indeed." My oh my, for a moment we thought we were in Kingston Upon Thames, LOL. His attitude never improved. Maybe it's the kitschy tattoo parlor-hipster vibe (funky decor, sexual innuendo slogans, woman in line with blue hair, everyone dressed in black and sporting piercings or tattoos or both, bakers with long beards and Rastafarian hats on milling about by the registers), that entices people to frequent the place. We can get that just walking down Colfax, and keep the $8 spent on three doughnuts. We won't be back, and do not recommend.

  • Jason S.

    I went in because of all of the hype and found myself sorta wishing that I hadn't... First off, not one person working in the back kitchen area was wearing gloves and worse, I saw one of the long bearded gentlemen itching the beard and continuing to work. It just turned me off to even wanting to eat one. Second, you don't take credit cards???!!!! For sure one of those places that is more hyped up than it should be.

  • Sarah P.

    My husband and I saw this place on the way to the bluebird theater and noticed a line out the door, so we decided to check it out after our show. When we got there at 10:00pm the line was still out the door. We figured they must be some pretty awesome donuts and jumped in line. It took us an HOUR to get to the register! Their check out process is pretty silly. They let people pick out their individual dozen donuts then the cashier runs back to locate each donut. When we got to our car I greedily dove into my giant cream filled donut to find only half was filled with cream. I felt it was too big, over iced and the cream wasn't anything to write home about. I would prefer smaller, tastier, better quality ingredients. I am glad we ordered a variety of these donuts because I won't be spending an hour in line waiting for donuts again.

  • Cody C.

    I must admit, I'm a Voodoo frequenter after a night of "light drinking" downtown. I'm a sucker for the Captain Crunch donut. We typically get 6 donuts and only eat 1 or two due to the overwhelming sugar punch you get to the gut after you eat one. They're wonderful hangover food as well! Be warned that they are a CASH ONLY establishment! If you're running low on cash, there is an ATM in the restaurant, but there's a fee (like there is on all mobile ATMs) and the machine is hella slow, so you may lose your place in line if the connection to the Internet on the machine is janky that night. #WeLoveVoodoo

    More flavors than you could possibly try in one visit! You will need multiple trips! I especially like the Voodoo Doll donut: chocolate glazed with raspberry filling.

    This place is rockin! It is open all the time, has delish doughnuts, and the service is great. Every time I go, the people working are always nice and hilarious! Some of the doughnuts are way to sweet for me, but the peach fritter is just ridiculous it is so good! Check it out if you are in the area. They only take cash though, FYI

  • Poizon I.

    Cash only so make sure you come prepared. My favorite is the maple bacon. I really do not care so much for the other ones. It is way too sweet and the donut is too big for me. (I want to enjoy it and not be sick of it). The cereal ones seems stale even when fresh (I've tried it several times) but still a must try to see for yourself...you can be the judge. Love the decorations which makes it fun. Honestly, I think it's over-rated. I may be able to have their donuts once in a while but I can't do their donuts all the time. I'd feel like I'm setting myself up for diabetes.

  • John B.

    Things I love about these people: Cash only. They sold me a yodeling record once. ODB. And no matter how long the line or how busy, the person waiting to take that cash has always been way friendly and pleasant to deal with. I'm trying to be less fat, but I still gotta have an ODB once month. Love this one and the original in Portland. Portland gets my love for the nearby strip clubs. Nothing better than saving a few singles for a donut on the walk back to camp!

  • Lynda M.

    Don't see what the hype is about. Over-sweetened donuts with crunchy stuff on them like fruit loops... nah, I'm a purist and a minimalist. Also, anyone who waits in line for an hour for donuts is nuts....

  • Lexie G.

    Being from the Midwest, we don't have off-beat donut shops like this. The closet ive ever come to a voodoo donut is that beer collaboration they did with Rogue brew company. Welp. Now ive experienced it. It was good. It was neat. The line was only 10 people deep on a Saturday morning at 10 am. Sadly, cash only (Surprisingly, I DID have cash on me). We paid wayyy too much for a dozen donuts but when this is your only chance to try a donut in the shape of a voodoo doll that has a pretzel for a penis or a donut with maple glaze and a piece of bacon on it (The germ-a-phobe in me did cringe; meat shouldn't be sitting out in the "danger zone" for too long). Kudos for their creativity, though I know it doesn't take much to make hungover/stoned stomachs happy. It was a fun adventure for an out-of-towner.

    Finally made it to Vodoo Doughnuts on a trip to Denver!!! These doughnuts are bomb af, so many choices. My favorites were the raspberry romeo- filled doughnut and the Mr. Captain crunch cereal doughnut. Can't wait to try more on my next out of town trip.

    I went to this place on 4/20/2015 at 8pm. First, there was a line out of the door (not happy about that) and it was cold outside. Ok, I thought. If there is a line, this donuts have to be freaking amazing. I waited about 45 mins, through the cold and bums (I was woth friends). The folks working there did not seem that interested in there jobs, however no one was rude and they took our order. I am a simple woman with simple taste, I ordered an apple fritter and plain glazed donut. My friend ordered the miami vice donut and one other that I can't think of the name for. I like the pink boxes that the donuts come in. As far a taste of donuts, I was not that impressed. My friend on the other hand loved it. Maybe because I didn't order anything fancy, but to me, I have had better donuts at Krispy Kreme. I say go once for the experience, the ambience and to people watch. But that's it.

    Every summer we visit Voodoo Donuts in Portland, So why not visit the Denver store when we were in Colorado? It was snowing, but we made it to the Colfax Ave, and got the parking right in front of the store across the street! And no line???? That never happens in PDX! But there was a short line inside. Got our usual plus some new things to bring them back to New York. The sight of the pink box made so many people happy at the late night in the airport. Oh they were good - miss them already.

    Loved every doughnut we ordered, and I'm not a huge doughnut person. My mom who LOVES doughnuts said these may be the best she's ever had. Definitely try the maple bacon doughnut, but don't stop there! There was a a long wait, but so worth it!!!!

  • Ali A.

    It's about a 20 to 25 minute drive from my house but it's sooo worth it! But be ready to stand in line for maybe 15 minutes because the few times I've been there the lines were out the door! Delicious donuts though, my all time favorite is the Arnold Palmer and the glazed one. Have a water ready too because it sure is sweet!

  • Casey D.

    Thanks Portland!! It looks like gnarly doughnuts, freakish décor, and eye-catching pink boxes are no longer reserved entirely for the likes of Portland, Oregon. This lil' shop of delicious horrors opened in December 2013 on Friday the 13th. I don't know about you, but I'd say that was a lucky day for Denver! Allow me to give you a quick rundown. First, make sure you have cash in hand. It's all about the Benjamins here! No credit, debit, or checks. Don't fret if you forget to bring you fins. There is an ATM in the far left corner of the store. You can access it while you're standing in line. Next, you'll need to decide what to get. This can be a tough decision. There are so many wonderful, tasty choices! I suggest having $15 to $40 on hand. That will give you a ton of options. You can get a dozen of their premium, most-famous doughnuts (Voodoo Doll Doughnut, Bacon Maple Bar Doughnut, Captain my Captain Doughnut, etc.) for roughly thirty clams and still have plenty for a tip. Finally, this is one heck of a popular joint, so be prepared to stand in line for awhile. This spot is open 24 hours a day - seven days a week, so you'll have plenty of time! The Magic is in the Hole!!!

    Good things really do come in Pink Boxes :) Went to VooDoo for the first time - wasn't disappointed! Very short line on Friday, mid-morning. I was expecting a line out the door. My friend and I shared a Maple Bacon Bar and an M&M cake donut...we also got an Old Dirty Bastard donut but were too full to eat it. Tried it the next day...I don't suppose donuts are known for being GREAT on the second day. DOH! Both the Maple Bacon Bar and the M&M were EXCELLENT. They were perfection. So many choices. How can you go wrong, really?! Will definitely be back...because yum.

  • Rachel J.

    I will have to admit I have never been into the store because the line is always so long when I drive by. Today at work someone brought in a box and it said that it was only $5 for a bunch of doughnuts!! Could this be real? My guess is they sell yesterday's doughnuts for cheap to get rid of them but I don't mind. I have eaten things older than a day old doughnut. These doughnuts are nuts because they are so unique. There are ones that have cereal on top and bacon. To be completely honest I can barely eat some of them because it's so much sugar. Luckily they have more plain ones that don't give me diabetes. They are good for a random treat and to say you had them but I definitely couldn't make it a full time thing.

    The first week of my new job, the trainers insisted on getting Voodoo Doughnuts for us to get our brains working early in the morning-brain food anyone? They brought them in, so my review is strictly for take-out. Not being a huge doughnut fan but not one to turn down free food, I happily chose a sprinkled doughnut from the overflowing box....and YUM! Although I only ate half, it was just the right amount of sweetness, frosting and 100% awesome :) Tips to takeaway: - Open 24 hours! -Cash only! Overall, this west coast hit is huge here and i wouldn't hesistate to take anyone visiting from out of down to the new digs :)

  • Andy R.

    OK, so I finally succumbed and went to check out Voodoo Doughnut to see what all the hype was about. Pros: A very unique menu with lots of choices. I went with the Bacon Maple Bar, which was actually quite tasty, with the bacon being on the good and crispy side, and a Voodoo Doll Doughnut, which was pretty much like a standard chocolate glazed doughnut with raspberry filling, only shaped like a voodoo doll with a pretzel sticking out of it. Gotta admit that the menu was pretty out there, between the doughnut names and available toppings - everything from names like "Old Dirty Bastard" and "Cock-n-Balls," to the peanut butter, cereal, coconut, and candy bar toppings. Cons: Over an hour wait in line. I know it's a unique concept, but it didn't seem worth it. Cash only, although there's an ATM onsite - with a hefty surcharge. The two doughnuts I purchased ran close to $6. Again, a unique concept, but not worth it. TIP: You can find knockoff versions of most of the cereal topped doughnuts, including Captain Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Froot Loops, Rice Krispies, and Fruity Pebbles, in addition to other toppings like shredded coconut and sprinkles, and even a "bacon bit" version of the Bacon Maple Bar, at most King Soopers stores in the area at much lower prices.

    Voodoo donuts is no San Francisco's Bob's donuts (also 24 hours) but I think it definitely deserves credit for 1. being open at ungodly hours when your drunken self needs to stuff your face with donuts 2. having fun, colorful and unique flavors and donut decorations 3. being open at ungodly hours when your sober self needs to stuff your face with donuts. Why do I not prefer this place over Bob's? It's because it isn't as fluffy and cloud-like. A donut is undeniably yummy regardless of whether it's an old or a fresh donut (it is innately good), however, the donuts here have never tasted like fluffy clouds the way Bob's has, even when served fresh. I came here and waited in a 30 minute line that felt like a 1 hour line (because of the dub step playing). Dub step is not the only thing that makes this place so edgy and scene. Let's look at the evidence: 1. their top-hat wearing mascot that resembles a devil alien magician (donuts are the devil's magic) 2. the fact that this is a store that branched from an original store in Portland, Oregon. Portland: 'nuff said. 3. a donut the shape of a voodoo doll because we are dark people with grudges 4. a donut with a mustache and if you mustache me why that is scene then you bearder get out under that rock you're living in 5. a cock and balls shaped donuts for people who need practice eating.... donuts. 6. a tang flavored donut (image of monkey) 7. a blunt shaped donut because this is Colorado Their gimmicks and edgy donuts list goes on and on. Nevertheless, I love me a donut and would not deny one from this place. Their theme is fun and their donuts match.

    I first saw VooDoo Doughnut on a Best Donuts in America type show. The Food Network sucks huge hairy donkey balls covered in sand!!! The hype about VooDoo is not acceptable. I waited 4 years to try these donuts and they were slightly better than Dunkin Donuts. When you add in the inflated cost, they are below most dry grocery store donuts. It is cute to make donuts on funny shapes and pile weird cereal toppings on high. However, the base is the donut. I once took two trains to get the opening of Mister Donut in Tokyo and I did not speak Japanese. I love donuts and will travel the world for delicious glazed wonders. I would not go back to the "weed" smelling neighborhood of VooDoo again. I swear I saw Jessie Pinkman's crew down the street trying to sell blue crystals. When I arrived, VooDoo was out of glazed donuts. How F*&%*&g stupid do you have to be to run a donut shop but be out of the staple???? I had the gigantic Texas glazed and it was not impressive. When I take a few bites and throw it away, you have garbage donuts. I got off a plane and drove like a bat out of hell to Colfax avenue only to be disappointed like the kid on he 16th birthday who gets a bike and not a car. The donut is just big. The glaze is silent and lack flavor. It was just a big ball of dough. Rating: Weak and sad!!! I also had bites of the maple bar and chocolate plain cake. The maple is very sweet and thick but the donut base is boring and flat. The "plain" chocolate cake donut was PLAIN!!!!! I give this place one star because I cannot give it ZERO stars. Don't believe the hype and pass on this Food Network over-hyped bull$hit!!!

    So Voodoo doughnuts has quite a bit of hype that follows them around and creates long lines for those who want a taste of their sweet treats. I braved the cold and the lines to go see what they were all about and what I found was this. The long lines are the result of their inefficient customer service and lack of credit card acceptance. The doughnuts were good but nothing better than a good doughnut from any other bakery. Their prices were a little spendy for doughnuts, sure they have clever names and offensive shapes and symbols, but in the end they are just doughnuts. They do have some clever flavors that I found worth the extra change, jump outside of your comfort zone and try something that sounds disgusting. Chances are it will be amazing. I think they could lose the offensive condition, accept credit cards and do twice the business.

  • Terry L.

    Not bad, but prefer Lemars doughnuts. If some one at work brings voodoos I will eat them, but I'm not going out of my way to buy them. My very least favorite would be the cereal coated. Yuck and double yuck.

  • Sally W.

    I mean it's a donut place.. While it's cool and hip... It's still just donuts and not even better than normal donuts... Go though.. It's fun trying to pick out what flavors to get.. But I probably won't go back

  • Clayton A.

    C'mon man. These donuts make Krispy Kreme donuts seem sugar-free. There's a year of diabetes in every one of these donuts. Plus, it seems all they do is take a regular ass donut and throw a buncha different stuff from your kitchen cabinet on top and now all of the sudden you have a donut worth lining down half a city block for. Nahhhhh. I'm calling bullshit on this place. If you want a gimmick, this place seems to be the spot. If you want a tasty donut, meaning the donut itself and not the toppings, I don't think this place does justice.

    (2)

  • Jon F.

    Voodoo Doughnut was great and had tasty, reasonably priced doughnuts, but I don't get the hype. Sure, I love the name, and the namesake is fun and creative. You can get Cocoa Puffs and a couple of other cool toppings, but there's not really all that much special to the doughnuts. If they offered a chocolate glazed donut with Cocoa Puffs on the outside and filled it with vanilla frosting I'd probably flip updside down and say it was the best thing on earth. Just putting cereal on a doughnut is an accident that was waiting to happen (and an accident I can yawn at... I've been doing it for years). I did try both the maple bacon bar and the ODB. Both were good, but totally just another (good) doughnut. I'm lucky there wasn't a big line. If I had to wait more than a few minutes, I'd probably say "not worth it". That said, if you're just looking for a good, simple donut and can get in when there's no wait - go for it! Can't hurt to try.

  • Kara H.

    DONT PARK BEHIND THE SHOP. Not for 5 minutes. The tow company will put a boot on your car and charge you $100. They are running quite the neat little scam in that parking lot. The donuts are creative and fun, but they are so sweet they gave me a stomach-ache (which I never ever thought could happen). Also, the place is cash only. The Portland cream is similar to a Boston cream and was delicious, but I don't quite get all the buzz about voodoo donuts. There are better donuts in Denver (and most of them even have parking lots).

  • Leah R.

    These doughnuts look really cool, but they didn't do anything for me. I was so disappointed. You'd have to be blind not to see all the sugar caked on these things. Of course donuts are supposed to be sweet, but my goodness, it's a mouthful of sugar and icing. This really isn't a place for a good breakfast doughnut. Maybe if you're looking for an intriguing dessert, but be ready. You'll probably fill your sugar quota with the first bite. And don't think you can leave these out for later. There's so much sugar and icing on them, that they'll turn rock hard fast. We had bought an assorted box of them to share with friends, but after taking a few bites, no one wanted to continue, and we ended up throwing almost everything away. It wasn't worth the late night trip, especially in that part of town.

    Long lines, check. Sweet tooth satisfied, check! I went to Voodoo twice during my trip to Colorado, once at the beginning of the trip (unwisely on a busy Sunday afternoon) and once at the end (late Saturday night). The theme park-like line moves pretty fast, even when it goes out the door, since the counter staff are pros at keeping it moving. (And don't be the jerk who holds the door open when it is 20 degrees outside...wait until someone exits and the line moves up.) They had all flavors available, listed on an electronic menu board above the counter so make your decisions while standing in line. I was afraid that with the popularity, they would run out of the doughnuts I came here specifically to try, but they have plenty of inventory since they are producing doughnuts 24/7. Look online for more detailed descriptions, and to giggle at the funny, tongue-in-cheek doughnut names. I would say that the wait and the search for street parking is only worth it if you get at least 4 doughnuts. Value is pretty good, since the doughnuts are huge...if you've been to other gourmet doughnut shops, the prices are comparable (though more expensive than traditional doughnut shops). I tried the following, all of which I loved: maple bacon bar, Mexican hot chocolate, maple crueller, blueberry cake doughnut. I wanted to try more, but there's only so much I can eat...I wish they had doughnut bite versions of everything so that I could have tried more. Both yeast and cake doughnuts are made really well and are fresh...fluffy & light. All their maple doughnuts (they have 3 or 4 doughnuts that use maple glaze) are delicious. For all those people who complained about the doughnuts being too sweet...hello, they are doughnuts, they are supposed to be sweet. If you can't handle sugar frosting, filling and glaze, get a plain cake doughnut or I don't know...don't come here to buy doughnuts! Worth the (multiple) trips, even just for the maple bacon doughnut, which I bought several to bring back with me on the plane...Warning though, the signature pink box will get you lots of looks while walking through airports. I remember awhile ago when I was at Atlanta's airport, I nearly tackled another person when I saw the pink box, asking if they had a maple bacon doughnut.

  • Phil H.

    They're good donuts. They're fun and unique. But I just don't think they're worth the wait at any hour. The line makes me crazy, and I just can't stand that I have to wait upwards of 30 minutes for the privilege of paying "boutique" prices for donuts. There are plenty of other alternatives where you'll be in and out much quicker, and that, to me, makes up for the lack of quirky flavors. It's a fun place to take out-of-towners who have heard legends of voodoo, but honestly, I don't know that it lives up to the hype.

  • Holly B.

    Was visiting my sister in Denver for the first time and just driving along, out of the corner of my eye I saw voodoo so I cranked my head around as we drove by and then I saw doughnuts in the window and that was that. We had to turn around. I had heard of them through foodies on Instagram and my sister had had them before in Oregon but didn't realize they were in Denver, so this was a really lucky find for us. The staff was friendly and I really liked the girl who rang us out, super nice and we shared some common interests like amethyst and studio ghibli t shirts haha. I felt awful not tipping but the bill I had was large, there was a line behind us and let's face it I'm broke so I couldn't drop the whole bill in. I promise to get you guys next time!! Thanks for the great service and doughnuts.

  • Jinyen Y.

    I cannot emphasize this enough. CASH ONLY. Don't be like me looking at the menu excitedly and happily and picking out 6 donuts while waiting in line, only to see the darn sign "CASH ONLY" Who carries cash around anyway...not me but I guess everyone else. My favorite is the Oreo donut, sprinkles donut, and chocolate donut. Why are they so good? I dislike it when I can taste the oil in donuts and I cannot taste that in my Voodoo donuts. Best to buy a bunch to friends and get a piece of every available donut. Note to self: BRING KA-CHING!!

  • Ne H.

    Okay, at first I was a little dubious about these donuts, 'they can't be any better than Shipley's' lol I was waiting in line for over 30 minutes now, curious to what it is about these donuts. Well, they definitely have a lot of options to choose from for one, effort in the creativity, flavors and people seem to love them. I see people waiting at the crosswalks, chilling in the park, at other restaurants with voodoo boxes, well now since now I've had a taste. They good, but they not that good. I would so drive across town for some haha

  • Jess S.

    I can't express how happy I am that we finally have a voodoo donuts in Denver. Some people say it's overrated, but if you've never had a donut here you really are missing out! It's a CASH ONLY establishment that is open 24 hours. The line to get donuts can be long so don't always expect for it to be a quick trip. My personal favorites are the captain crunch donut, apple fritters, maple bacon, and the Oreo donut, but there are tons of really yummy options to choose from. very filling so if you buy a box it'll probably last you a few days. The staff is also really cool. Never disappointed in my voodoo experiences.

    Can we stop kidding ourselves? If you're going to say you got your pink box, then by all means, head out to voodoo. But don't tell me they have tasty donuts. Every time I've had them they are stale cardboard. Would take an Alton's plain cake any day of the week.

    Voodoo doughnuts! What was formerly a West Coast exclusive, happens to be open just a few blocks from me. The convenience of a 24/7 doughnut shop within walking distance has not been lost upon me. I love sweets and I really love the creativity that is voodoo doughnuts. If you can dream it up on a doughnut they probably have it, and likely do it pretty well. However the doughnuts are not what drags the rating of this attraction (and I call it that for a reason down). The doughnuts are undoubtedly above average, but they are also above average both in price, and in wait time. While a very neat novelty the first few visits, now I reserve this for drunken nights (or hungover mornings) and when the occasional craving hits me during the drive home (as long as their is no line). The place only takes cash, with an ATM happy to take your ATM fee positioned by the door. There is often a wait and not just a short wait, often quite lengthy, and the doughnuts are just not so so good that I must have them despite the higher cost, wait and pain of having cash available. I certainly won't stop going here, since the doughnuts are in fact pretty good, the staff is friendly, and the variety is excellent, but it's not regular treat.

    Went last Sunday to buy lots of donuts for the family. Really great selection, but no gluten free donuts at this location. Too bad, since it seems the Portland store has them. Also had to order each donut individually, since some people in our group wanted certain donuts. No way to order the cheaper dozen and get what you want. The line on Sunday morning is quite long and heads out the door. Bring your phone so you can get lots of work done in the line. Everyone loved the donuts and it was worth it.

    Before I begin... Parking is tricky & it is cash only! The customer service is great.. Our cashier didn't mind answering questions I'm sure she'd heard many times before. It was our first time there so we didn't know exactly what was in each doughnut or what was in their voodoo dozen doughnut box (I forget the correct name but they are the ones pick which doughnuts go in it; they can put certain ones in & will let you request a couple. Also you can buy some of the more expensive doughnuts that are $2+ in your box at an extra cost). Each doughnut was really good and I am pretty much constantly craving them now. I liked the M&M one a lot and even just their plain chocolate ones are great.The names of a lot of their doughnuts are hilarious. I will be going back soon!

    I find this place overhyped. I think you feel compelled to buy more than you would normally because you wait to get it and don't want to regret not getting enough later. That certainly happened to me anyway. I tried all their funky concoctions and deducted that I still like the Old Fashioned and Boston Creme the best. They were both good... the problem is everything here is just way overpriced for donuts and most of them are hardly worth it.

  • Eric F.

    Donuts are delicious. Ordered the Voodoo Doll which has a strawberry or raspberry filling. It has a pretzel stick in the middle that mixes with the sweetness so well...this is a winner! I had the Portland cream which was cool on the cream. I ordered 2 other donuts with Oreos on top which were good as well. Long wait but worth the wait and it's open 24 hours a day so why not...

  • Christopher G.

    Do you ever just sit there perplexed and wonder what - the - heck. Perhaps many a man who stood in line for Cronuts on his vacation had the same thought. I dunno.. I've never had a Cronut Yet I did wait for a VoodDoo doughnut. I got a Doughnut that was all flair, no substance. We are talking a decent doughnut topped with something weird (like Cap'n'Crunch) existing doughnut shops I go to (like the Donut in Centennial) have crispier/yummier dough, better vanilla cream, and all around better execution). The nail in the Voodoo is their unpreparedness for peanut allergies. Seriously a lot of kids (2-3%) have peanut allergies. You would expect a trendy place to have this down cold. They acted as if I was speaking Klingon. . .and they were like "yeah, we have peanuts. . .I dunno. .we aren't careful so i wouldn't eat it. Thanks Voodoo, but I already had better options in Colorado!

  • Kayla H.

    Absolutely worth the wait in line. Deciding which four flavored to try was the hardest decision of my day. Went with captain crunch, voodoo doll, maple bacon, and chocolate Oreo peanut butter. The rotating show cases right by the registers make it easy to just point and order.

  • Ellen Y.

    It's an experience you ought to try! Super tasty donuts! Some very creative donut-makers working here for sure! I've always stood in line but it moves quickly & worth it!

  • Diana W.

    Are the donuts worth an hour wait? Probably not. Are they beyond delicious? Not really. But you can't hide the smile from your face when you walk in here. Not only does it smell divine but there are chandeliers and PINK PINK everywhere. Parking can be a bit of a pain around the area. Their menu is available on their website as well as on chic tv screens inside. Their apple fritters are huge and delicious. They offer cake and plain donuts to satisfy anyone. If you have a picky eater, don't worry they have glazed donuts in addition to their crazy topping filled ones. I wouldn't go here for just a donut but its a fun place to take out of towners for sure!

  • Crystal Girl S.

    Um..........Yes! What a fun place that has a variety of donuts you have never seen before. We happen to be eating at a restaurant nearby and a group of guys brought in these amazing looking donuts for desert and I had to try them. Not something I could do on a regular basis because I could easily gain 10lbs just smelling them but super fun for a nice treat or to take to someone. If I'm going to eat a donut - which I don't normally do - this is the place to satisfy my craving.

  • Vivian M.

    Worth the calories! I am not a donut eater, so they have to be worth it. The What's a peach was delicious! We tried several and they were tasty. We will be ordering 10 dozens for our son's 10:00 am wedding. Hoping it will be a treat for our out of town guest. Friday morning at 10, the line was a 25 min wait. The line moves slow because lots of people, Including myself were asking the counter help to describe the donuts. They would do well to have pictures and descriptions while you are waiting in line. So, you can be ready with your order.

    Loved this place! Very unique. The donuts are not only interesting and different but also delicious!!! Love taking my out of town friends/family to this place. Only downfall is it can be a bit pricey but well worth it.

  • John H.

    Donuts were great but super expensive got 8 or so and paid $120. DO NOT park out back I ran my wife and daughter around front because it said you will be towed. I was literally away from my car maybe 90 seconds. There is a guy sitting in his truck that runs out and boots your car the second you leave it. I accept responsibilty it says no parking and I parked so my bad. He only accepts cash to remove the boot $100. I paid it without a fight again my stupidity but I watched him boot 4 more cars as I ran to the ATM. I warned 4 more as they tried to park there just so he wouldn't cash in. If you want to make some money just stand outside that lot and warn people so he can't cash in until he pays you to go away. Donuts were fun though we did enjoy them just not $120 fun...

  • Jesse B.

    The wait outside was a little bit crazy. I went in March, so it was snowy and cold. Stood in line for about 20 minutes before getting inside and then standing in line for about 15 minutes. That being said, if you go knowing that there will be a wait, it's not as bad. They ONLY take cash, so be aware of that before you go. I ordered a dozen doughnuts to go (that's the only option...there's no place to sit inside) when I got to the front of the line. Each one was a different flavor and each one was very good. The maple bacon was my absolute favorite, though the Grape Ape and the Loop doughnut (covered in frosting and Fruit Loops) were also good. The maple-frosted cruller and glazed blueberry cake donut were also very good! One other thing to make note of: there's no parking lot, so you have to find some parking on one of the side streets nearby and walk.

    I had lowered my expectations because of all the previous bad reviews... They were wrong... Glad I checked this place out!! My fiancé brought me home a raspberry Romeo, which is a raspberry jelly filled donut, glazed. It was EXACTLY what I was craving and I know I am now officially addicted to this place. I also was given a apple fritter, which even tho I was so full from the first donut, I could not stop eating this amazingly delicious apple fritter donut! Even the fiancé was stealing bites!! My fiancé got himself 2 choc cake donuts, which he enjoyed.

    I mean just the best doughnuts you will have in ur life! The creative ones are amazing but the plain glazed for me are my favorite! Oh yea and let's not forget the one and only maple blazer blunt

    So, on a recent trip to Denver, I finally get to try the popular Voodoo doughnuts! We decided to make a random late-night stop and upon approaching the shop, the line is already 4-5 people out the door, and my Denver native friends warned it would only grow longer as the night wore on. And boy, did the line continue inside the store, wrapped around in a snake reminiscent of waiting to get on your favorite roller coaster. However, this line is a bit of a tease because you get close to the doughnut display where everything looks fresh and incredible, then have to move a bit and don't see it anymore, but then, AHA, there it is again! From the display, everything looks incredible and you'll be tempted to eat them all. However, I would advise, like my friends and I did, to use your precious time to research and look at their menu and doughnut descriptions online while you're waiting in line and only pick one or two you would love to eat. I ended up ordering one of their signature doughnuts, the bacon maple bar. We sat on the sidewalk and ate our doughnuts right after exciting the store and because I had time to check out some reviews while waiting in line, I knew not to expect too, too much. I took my first and only bite of my doughnut--the dough was a bit tough but the true killer was the maple frosting. It was so, so sweet that just one bite and I knew I would probably go into cardiac arrest if I ate any more. I debated taking a second, or even a few more bites since I stood in line for so long awaiting this doughnut, but I couldn't bring myself to face a sudden death. On the upside, I ate the two slices of bacon, which were, ironically cooked perfectly--crispy, salty, delicious. Are they meant to be the highlight of the doughnut and to take away from how awful the doughnut is itself? I digress. My friend tried an apple fritter--it was fresh and hot, with perfect texture. Maybe I'll try that my next go around. 3 stars because you should definitely try this place at least once, props for being able to sustain their business with mediocre doughnuts, and if there is a next time, I'll definitely stay away from any frosting.

    First off, you have to get a kick out of the hilarious presentations and creative recipes they serve. The flavors I had were very tasty. Points off for not explaining what each flavor actually is (they have funny names) - I had to pull up their website on my phone. I didn't want to ask the clerk because we waited long enough anyway. But it was worth it!!!

  • Meredith M.

    My trip to Denver was not complete before I made a pit-stop to Voodoo. The donuts were fresh and the staff was friendly. I was expecting to feel rushed and pressured once I got to the counter, but that wasn't the case. My favorite was the Old Dirty Bastard (yeast donut, with chocolate glaze, peanut butter and crushed oreos). I wanted to love to spicy chocolate cake donut with cayenne and cinnamon, but for me it was a miss. The donut didn't have enough of a chocolate taste and was overshadowed by the cayenne. Just a tip, remember your cash. No credit cards.

  • J K.

    Nothing special, and have never been able to figure out what the deal is. Their donuts are covered in random stuff, so I guess that is cool to some people. I'm not a big fan of the crap they put on their donuts, and their regular ol' donuts are mediocre at best. You're basically paying for the chance to stand in a giant line, to get served by the textbook definition of snobby hipsters to get overrated and overpriced donuts. But hey, if I'm in the area and wasted drunk, I'll probably just keep walking anyway. But if someone brings them to work or buys me one, I'll eat it.

  • Jessica M.

    Well, that was tasty! I'm happy to say that after weeks of driving past this place, I was able to pick a time to stop by without needing to wait in line. Kudos to this place for having such rabid fans, but I'm not ever going to wait in line that long for a donut.... Anyway, I'm more of a basic donut person, but my hubby loved the Memphis Mafia. He also had the bacon maple bar, but he said it was "a little weird." Maybe we're just not that adventurous of people. I stuck with the old-fashioned donut, which was delightful. For some reason these can be hard for places to make, but Voodoo nailed it. For everything they have on the menu and all the other distractions, they seem to really know their basic stuff. 4 stars for the old-fashioned being so tasty, if it wasn't - 3 stars. We'll be back, but only if I'm driving by and the line isn't so long.

    What an eclectic place! It's perfect! As a former visitor of PDX I was stoked to hear they opened in Denver cuz I'm here way more than Portland! Mae waited til the extreme hype wore off and just went this weekend. Be prepared for cash only and you're set! The vegan dozen was perfect and sweet but not too sweet. Keep this place in mind for your donut needs.

    Over rated!! There a much better doughnuts in and around Denver than these. The frosting is good but the doughnuts themselves are stale tasting. They are better at marketing then making a quality doughnut.

    (2)

  • Allison L.

    I'm more of a classically flavored doughnut person so it's probably just not my cup of tea. I find that doughnuts are sweet enough without all the chocolate frosting/cereal/cookies and whatever else they top them with. I was able to try the maple bacon and that was pretty good. The staff was really friendly and the line moved semi fast. I can see the appeal for some people but I probably would only go here again as a novelty for out of town people visiting.

    3 stars for Voodoo Donuts. Were they bad? No. Were they amazing and worth the 15 minute drive to Colfax? No. And they are certainly not worth the 2-3 hour wait I have been reading in other reviews. Thankfully, I was the first person there for their 6am opening so there was no wait. For the half dozen, I decided I'd purchase 3 of their unique creations and 3 donut standards so I could compare the actual doughnut. For the unique/funky donuts I ordered: the Captain my Captain, Old Dirty Bastard and the No Name Doughnut. For the standards I ordered: the Sprinkle doughnut, Chocolate cake doughnut and the Old Fashioned Doughnut. I cut them all into fourths so we could sample all of them without going into diabetic shock. The two with vanilla frosting (Captain my Captain & Sprinkles), were cloying. I could barely eat the bites of them let alone a whole doughnut. The Old Dirty Bastard and No Name were both tasty, the Old Fashioned and Chocolate doughnut were nondescript and honestly, tasted like a King Soopers doughnut. In fact, these donuts are all about the toppings and fillings, strip those away and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Voodoo and King Soopers. Finally service. The woman who assisted me was friendly enough for 6am, but she muttered back answers when I asked questions and I could barely understand her. This was frustrating because I couldn't read the teensy tiny font on their menu. Additionally, she got the chocolate doughnut wrong. I asked for a chocolate cake doughut and I meant a cake doughnut with chocolate frosting. What I got was a chocolate doughnut with glaze...probably my least favorite doughnut. I double checked their website just now and I'm not sure where the communication gap was since I asked for the correct item per their website's menu. To sum it up:I went to Voodoo Doughnuts to treat our house guests and to see if they lived up to the hype. I don't think they do. I think they are perfect as a novelty after a concert at one of the venues on Colfax or a night out at the bars. However for a dozen as a family or office treat? There are better options all over town.

    We get donuts at work every Friday. Each week from a different place. So, I am not writing this based on a one time visit, but after eating a variety of donuts. Voodoo is legit. The basic sour cream old fashioned donut is quite good compared to anything else out there. They have so many other donuts that are also good, but you won't find many of those in other donut shops. The only thing that keeps this place from getting a 5 star are the less than friendly staff and a little excessive frosting on some donuts.

  • Frankie C.

    CASH ONLY! Outstanding! After seeing Voodoo Doughnuts featured on Man Vs. Food I had to try it and on my most recent trip to Denver I was lucky enough to make time to grab some for breakfast. The staff was friendly and seemed like they enjoyed working there. Positive vibes all around. Even though the line was out the door (usually a great sign) the line moved quickly. The doughnuts were amazing! All the doughnuts were fresh and delicious but the Bacon Maple Doughnut was my favorite by far. The bacon was crunchy and salty which perfectly complemented the sweet maple icing. It is a must for any visit to Voodoo Doughnuts.

  • Lily S.

    Really don't know what the big deal is. To me, it's over-priced overly-sweetened-and-decorated subpar-fried-dough. I guess the fun must be in the anticipation, which, after several months of opening, and operating 24 hours a day, we still had to wait in line for an hour on an early Saturday afternoon. Of course the ATM machine was down, good thing we knew to bring cash. The major wait, now I figured, is mainly due to decision difficulty when faced with this many choices. It took us 15 minutes for our order, if that's the average, then you do the math. Would be neater if they hand out paper menus and/or have little flags on the sample donuts indicating what they are; but I see it as the store's tactic (to have neither). Just like the psychology with the broken ATM machine, people can't help but get sucked in. The buttermilk bar must be really good because they were all out of it. We paid almost $35 for a custom dozen (the Voodoo or Classic dozen are both pre-selected which include at least half that are cake donuts, I couldn't wrap that idea around my head) plus one of each of the specialty: Tex-Ass (just a huge glazed yeast donut) and Cocks&Balls (didn't really look like what you would think if you didn't know the name of it). At least I could say I've been to Voodoo Doughnut. Yes, VD has lots of donuts to offer and are all unusually decorated, but they are neither exceptional in taste nor pieces of art. So I'll just stick to my neighborhood donut shops or other more humble chains like Lamar's whose goodies happen to taste fresher. I gotta give a shout-out to the staff at VD though, they all tirelessly served eager customers and were patient and friendly. Thank you! Update: after going though half of our dozen donuts, the verdict is in: get the yeast raised topped with Oreo bits. My boyfriend picked it out (he only got to choose one, lol) and it turned out to be the best, it's not fair, he has that kind of ability, lol. It's good because the Oreo pieces didn't distract from the donut (as I thought it would) because it's been drizzled with some kind of peanut butter sauce, making the cookies soft (but not soggy). The sweetness level is balanced by the sauce and the fact that the cookie bits don't include the sweet cream. This one alone is 4-stars.

  • Nikki K.

    Sure the doughnuts are great but not really worth the wait or the price. This is one of those places you need to go to simply to know you're gone, but you're better off finding doughnuts somewhere you can park more easily for a fraction of the price. That being said, just check it out once for yourself. CASH ONLY (though they have an ATM)

  • Michelle K.

    The hype was too much. I was very underwhelmed. I think their donuts are creative but I prefer Blue Star in Portland (wow on the flavor and creativity) and Banbury Cross in Salt Lake (homey and flavorful). I didn't like the stale cereal on the donut. I was very happy to only wait 5 minutes in line on a Saturday afternoon (I hear the lines can be hours long at their portland location), and the staff was friendly.

    On my last weekend living in Cheesman with this literally at the end of my street...I KNEW I had to check it out. Yes, I know that I'm *just* moving to Cap Hill but I won't ever live this close again. I got in line on a Friday night after work after finding out they had opened at 5 pm. I lucked out with the line not being very long at all. I met some pretty die hard Voodoo Donut fanatics in line who were telling me all about their favorites. And heh heh, Colfax Creme and cock n'balls really sounded the most interesting. (For the record, I passed on both this first trip out). After an hour of waiting, I stepped up to the register, shaking, nervous that I wouldn't screw up my order. I got: Fruit Loop and a Capn Crunch donut, Mango Tang, Grape, Miami Vice, Maple bacon, and a Voodoo donut. My favorite was by far the Grape and Mango Tang. Each offered a light dusting of flavor...and have you ever had a grape and or mango flavored donut? yeah, neither have I. I totally messed up and forgot to order the Oreo donut though, but I will save that for the next trip. This place is funky, eclectic, and a unique donut experience. Do I think it is worth the wait? Yes, maybe once just to check it out...but I likely won't be doing it anytime soon. Come Jan 15 they will be open and at 24 hours at that. I'll definitely be back once the hype dies down to check out all the other flavors. please note, this is a CASH ONLY establishment but there is an ATM in the building (it moves at a snail pace BTW).

    Yummy... Tons of off the wall combos that are tasty and delish. We got the Rapper's Delight- $4.20. It includes a maple "blunt" donut, M&M frosted donut, and the ODB- (donut topped with crushed Oreo, frosting, and peanut butter.) super yum!

    (5)

  • Natalie T.

    Love that they have lots of options. Narrow it down by the type of donut that you'll be in the mood for...cake or yeast donuts. Then pick according to the filling or topping. Enjoyed their donuts a lot!

  • Solomon W.

    Knowingly putting myself out there as the bad guy, I'll step out in boldness and say that I found Voodoo Doughnut to be underwhelming. It seems a staple in the fancy doughtnut world is the bacon and peanut butter one, but it really is just that. Fried dough, peanut butter glaze, and crumbled bacon. At the cost of a taco, this guy isn't quite voodoo enough for me. On the more classic end, I can't find anything that separates their chocolate and glazed from the other classic shops on Colfax. Perhaps Voodoo necessitates a variety of visits, focusing on a different item every visit, so I'll take my one mediocre experience and afford VD another visit.

    Not a big fan of sweets but I must admit these were delicious! We took the kids this morning and was met with a line out the door and on the street. Good sign! Even with a line that long, it wasn't long before it was out turn. I got the maple bacon bar (i love anything bacon) and the kids got the voodoo doll. They were light and delicious! Sweet but not sugary. The filling in the doll was thick and didn't run everywhere while they were eating. My girls loved them! I will definitely be back!

    I may not be the best reviewer for VD, I should say that from the outset. I'm not really a doughnut guy... never have been. Even so, I've been to VD in Portland, so was interested to try their newest location in Denver. They do have a lot of variety, and some unusual shapes and flavours. They probably are better than most of the other doughnuts that you could buy around town, but you have to decide whether you're willing to wait in line for an hour. There's also a good chance that you'll get yelled at or scolded by one or more of the employees, so be ready for that. Me? I kinda like the wait - just part of the experience. VD is not going to be a major part of my life, but I'm sure I'll be back for a Maple Bacon Bar (or two). Here's a secret tip: If you want to make new friends, spend a few bucks to buy a box of doughnuts for the people waiting in line. Somebody did that for us and was greeted with cheers. Everybody just took a piece and passed the box on down the line. Thanks to that guy, classy move!

    I had never been to a Voodoo Doughnut before as I'd never visited Portland, Oregon. Finally, it is here in Denver, and since I follow foodie news, I've been tuned in to the craziness/fandom of Voodoo. So when I found out today they were *FINALLY* having a "Soft Opening" (Friday the 13th in December on Colfax, whew!), I sent a TaskRabbit to wait in line and get me one of the first dozens. Yeah, that sounds crazy, right? Dude is going to be handsomely reimbursed for braving the chilly temperatures and fighting the crowd. Anyway, my TaskRabbit waited in line for a good few hours (before 5pm up to almost 8pm). Took pictures for me (I need pics as proof right?); got me a dozen doughnuts. Sweet and fresh; nice to finally try some! My review on the ones I received: Bacon Maple: They are super SERIOUS about the bacon. Definitely got the sweet and savory down. The Loop: OMG! Froot Loops on a donut?! LOVE. Adds a fun bit of crunch to the creamy vanilla frosting. Dirt: It's dangerous to combine Oreos and donuts. And more to come... I'll probably avoid the lines at the shop for a few months (due to the insanity), but I heard they're having a Grand Opening on January 15th. So go hit it up!

    Parking is almost non-existent here, plus they have signs on their windows warning customers that their vehicles could possibly be towed. Showed up on a Thursday evening (7:30pm), waited for about 15 minutes in line. In addition to that, visited this place on a Friday morning (6:00am), no line. So you pick your own schedule, be with the crowd or anti-social?!? Thank you fellow Yelpers for the reminder that this is, however, a cash only business, so arrive prepared or be "that person." The staff here are laid-back and friendly! Took only four minute for my order. What's more, the menu monitor a very difficult to see the prices (starts roughly $1.45+). If you buy the dozen, it's worth it $15ish; on the contrary, you don't get to choose, they randomly pick them for you. I got stuck with a bubble gum doughnut, which I quickly gave away... Doughnuts tasted fresh and wasn't greasy, the frosting wasn't stuck on the tissue paper, and I didn't get to try the coffee like Dunkin' Donut

  • Joe P.

    Descriptive phrase: give me ALL the donuts! The people-watching in line at VooDoo Doughnuts late at night is something special. I wish they had better signage explaining what was what, but I was extremely happy with my choices. From best to not-best: Dirt (oreo), Marshall Mathers (M&M), Neapolitan (vanilla, strawberry, marshmallow), Triple Chocolate Penetration (chocolate with cocoa-puffs). All were still good and interesting, just preferred the Dirt and MM. And the prices were not as outrageous as I expected, definitely fair. So nom, definite recommendation.

    Last month I finally got to experience Voodoo Doughnuts. I had been intrigued by them since Man Vs. Food visited Portland. I moved out to Denver a couple years ago and had heard some colleagues talking about it and when I found out it was the same one, I knew it was only a matter of time before I tried it. They usually will have a long line out the door. As other reviewers have stated, it's cash only but there's an ATM there. I got a voodoo dozen and the cock and balls for my friend who enjoys eclairs. If their selection wasn't so large, I'd give them two stars but with their selection, one more star. The donuts are good but nothing that would make me go out of my way to return to here. The customer service was fine. The donuts were fine. Everything was just fine or A-OK as denoted by my three stars rating.

    Donuts are so unique and all very delicious!!! There is nowhere in shop to eat or even outside which is a bit disappointing.

    I like the doughnut names/shapes/toppings. Yet, the customer service isn't what I would call standard. For instance the person who took our order said a curse word while taking the order (not in a mean way just as part of conversation). The reason for 4 stars is because he gave me back dollar coins for change- I would have preferred him to ask before giving me those. The doughnut was cute and very tasty. I like the way you can get your doughnut ready to eat with what he called "street style" - I will return to try different kinds of flavors.

    This place definitely has a lot of buzz around town. Considering the amusement style line organization they have for the weekend crowds, I am REALLY glad I came here on a weekday. I heard that waits can be over an hour on the weekends - DEFINITELY not worth it, but then again, I don't really think there are any foods worth that kind of wait. Anyway, I love the style of this place and they certainly have an abundance of creativity. There is the cereal killer and other innovative names and donut styles. We ordered 6 unique donuts and sampled them all. Overall, they were tasty (loved captain crunch on the donut), interesting, and well packaged. That said, overall, the taste was average (to maybe slightly above average). I would recommend stopping by (on a weekday) and checking it out, but not sure I will go out of my way to return.

    Came here last night at 2 in the morning, thinking foolishly that there'd be no line. Wasn't a huge line but moved slowly, wait time of about 20 minutes. Ordered the apple fritter, banana fritter, original glazed, voodoo doll, and raspberry filled. I've only tried the apple fritter, banana fritter, and original glazed so far (girl can only eat so many doughnuts at a time) and I have to say that the doughnuts did not live up to the hype. All were just too sweet, excessive amounts of glaze. I barely noticed any chunks of apple in the apple fritter, the banana was slathered in chocolate and pb which overrode any banana, and the original glazed was denser than what I prefer. Cute shop with some potentially interesting flavors, execution just fell a little short. The doughnuts are okay. After hearing everyone's rave reviews, I expected life changing mind blowing doughnuts. I'll stick with KK.

    I know its hipster and trendy, but the donuts are well put together and hit the spot. We had the voodoo doll and a french cruller. Both were tasty, staff was cool. I would stop in for a donut again. It may be a bad choice if you are in a rush, as it is a boutique environment and lots of people are slow to pick out a dozen. They also have a mango filled donut which will be a must buy next time.

    I hate to do this to you, VD, because the doughnuts are fab but my time is worth more then the hour long wait in line, and with the mark-up on flour and sugar, you'd think management would seriously consider having extra registers open during peak times. Your employees always look like they want to blow their brains out, and they move slow as anything because they are obviously over it... and so am I.

    Have never been to Portland, and had heard so much about Voodoo Doughnut, so didn't mind waiting in line (it's kind of neat when a place opens for the first time). The place looks cool. Lots of variety. The second time around I got the random mystery box of 4 doughnuts for $5. I tried the maple sugar doughnut and it was super good--didn't want to share at all, but I did!! Apparently this was their "flaccid" opening and will have the Grand Opening on the 15th of January 2014, and I heard they will be open for 24 hours. Even though the doughnuts are good, I want to try the other doughnut shops in Denver before I either upgrade or downgrade my rating. Will definitely be coming back after the initial excitement dies down so I can choose my own doughnuts!! They only accept CASH and they do have an ATM on the premises.

  • Jane S.

    I don't get the hype. I mean, it's a donut and tastes like every other donut I've had. It reminds me of the era of Krispy Kreme and how that fad died within a few years. In fact, I think Krispy Kreme tastes better than VD. We sampled the Dirt, captain, Portland Kreme, maple and grape ape. My fav was the maple but IT TASTES THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER place. Nothing special here folks...just your everyday donut

    So, my hubs and I stopped in Denver to hang out with some friends on our cross country trip from CA to MA. We went out to a couple bars, had a few drinks, and while discussing where to take us next, I swear someone said the word "donut". I respond to the words "donut", "cake" or "pizza" the same way a smart dog does to the word "walk"... by running around with a wagging tail, grabbing my leash and trying to contain all my wiggles so the person responsible for me can suit me up. Realizing they'd somehow called out my inner donut monster, our wonderful hosts drove us over to Voodoo Donuts! I'd heard about the locations in Oregon, but didn't know they were in Denver as well. The place was surprisingly empty when we arrived, but by the time we left, the line was out the door... we may have gotten there right when they opened. I was so thrilled by the selection that I took a video of the display case and uploaded it to FB. The next time I have a truly bad day, I'm going to watch it again, so I can see alllllll the pretty donuts turn around and around and around. The taste as good as they look! We got a dozen of various types and flavors, immediately gobbling up the spliff and the white cake donut with the crunch berries and marshmellow-y icing. That shit was crazy, crazy good. They got that donut voodoo magic down! We couldn't finish our dozen the same night, so they ended up coming on the road with us. This was a lucky turn, as we couldn't find a place open for lunch in Wyoming the next day, and ended up eating two donuts and washing it down with protein powder. Yum! I wonder if they'll FedEx me some donuts for my lunch next week.... Maybe I'll just have to visit Denver again instead!

  • Michelle N.

    The store itself was awesome and the employees were super nice but the doughnuts were kind of overwhelming with all the sugar and toppings but maybe thats just because of my pick. I recommend only getting one doughnut. The dirt was decent! Its such a fun store, if you are in denver you totally have to stop by this store. The line stretched out the door but it was worth it!

  • Katie R.

    Take note! It's cash only and street parking only (good luck with that). The doughnut selection is creative, the guy behind the counter was hella friendly and quite cheerful, and those oh-so-desirable pink boxes are stacked a mile high. Truth be told, out of all the fancy-shmancy, creatively taboo doughnuts my favorite doughnut was the glazed buttermilk glazed. It was delectable, drool worthy, off the chain, melt in your mouth, five star.... I went to voodoo as more of a "gotta do it once" type of thing, but that buttermilk sold me hard. I'll be back for that buttermilk glazed again one day.

    They're good, but not extremely special compared to all the hype. Went there when there was no wait so it was fine, but I wouldn't wait on line for them.

  • Kevin T.

    This place is crazy! 10:30 on a Monday night & we waited 20 min in line. That isn't something I would do all the time but it is an experience that you should try at least once. Oh & the donuts are good too!

  • Brad P.

    Excellent donuts. I bought a doughnut covered in pentagrams from a hipster idiot with stupid piercings and I love it. Cash only, with a broken ATM, is pretty dumb and unnecessary-it adds needlessly to the line (which leads to more hype)-and there is a lot of silly hype here, but these really are delicious donuts. I think I've decided - as I eat a delicious maple bar - that hype can be fun, and so I'm really glad this place moved here. Ignore the whiners. Put a Cock N' Balls in yer mouth.

    My son and I have been trying different doughnut spots around town on the weekends and this was our new to try spot today. Driving up, it looked promising by the long line out the door which is suggestive that it would be a great little spot - until you actually try to find parking. Behind the doughnut shop is a large parking lot (empty today because the business it belongs to is closed for Memorial Day) but, apparently due to some dispute between the businesses, their was a guy patrolling the lot in an ugly, old, red Porsche, specifically looking to tow Voodoo patrons. Mind you, that business is closed today and yet they are there to make sure you don't park in the lot and go into the doughnut place. Turn off # 1. So, after being told if we parked there we would get towed, we moved our car, and although my first instinct was to leave and go somewhere else, I was curious to see what all the hype was about. After driving around awhile, a parking spot opened up in front of the shop so we snagged it and my son got out to wait in line while I stayed in the car with our dog thinking it would only take a few minutes to grab a doughnut and coffee. We sat and waited and waited some more, watching all the people who went in and out of the popular Voodoo Doughnut shop. Waiting patiently, I noticed the tow happy guy in the red Porsche driving around the block repeatedly and staring at the Voodoo business and patrons,- weird, right? I continued waiting for 40 minutes when my son finally emerged with a pink box and the coffee I wanted much earlier. On my first sip of the coffee, I was disappointed because it was not good coffee and I realized I had waited all that time for coffee I couldn't drink and now I no longer wanted to even try the doughnuts, and though my son had bought a 1/2 dozen, they did not look appetizing and I had lost the desire to try anything else from this place. I realize the parking & long wait is not the fault of Voodoo Doughnuts, however, with the bad coffee in addition to the wait and parking issue, the experience isn't one I will opt for again. I generally feel happy when getting a doughnut with coffee but I left feeling cranky.

    Absolutely delicious. I was super pumped that they had vegan doughnuts. The help was super nice and incredibly efficient. When we went in, there was a line wrapped to the door, but they managed to keep it moving at a healthy pace. I also really enjoy the doughnut designs. So very irreverent. Basically perfection

  • Lhynette C. A.

    This is by far the best donut place i've been to yet...mainly because of the variety of different donuts (cake and yeast) and the very unconventional flavors - Grape Ape for example. I could not leave Denver without paying a visit to Voodoo Doughnut. After a long day of crazy photo shoots, and a quick stop at the Mile High Stadium - we finally made it. The store front has a roped queue line but when we got there, it wasn't crowded at all. The staff was very friendly and was very patient at the fact that i could not make up my mind and couldn't choose from the bajillion doughnuts they had. "Cake or yeast? glazed? chocolate? fruity? or creamy? wait...is that bacon?" Pure freaking madness and everything was going 100 mph in my head - and the revolving glass display with all the doughnuts inside made me so much more excited than I was 3 seconds ago...I kept it simple, i had the voodoo (which is a jelly doughnut only it was shaped like a voodoo doll with a chocolate icing), the portland creme (boston creme filled) and the Old Dirty Bastard (oreos, chocolate and peanut butter...i mean, need i say more?). My favorite is the ODB - all the way. The dough was fresh and fluffy - it's kind of like - if Krispy and Dunkin had a baby...it was Voodoo. not too fluffy and light, and still held quite of a dense texture. it certainly doesn't compare to some chain doughnut shops where i know the dough is FROZEN! no, no, Voodoo is a whole new species...I also got the chance to try the Grape Ape, which was different. It's a yeast doughnut and is glazed with vanilla-ish icing with a hint of a grape flavor. The Dirt doughnut doughnut was also good - not too sweet, crushed oreos on top and it was held together by a vanilla glaze. Everything and anything i tried at this place was DELICIOUS. You better believe that i will come back to Colorado - i can't wait to come back to Voodoo and try the other doughnuts! side note - this place only takes cash, but don't fret, they have an ATM machine inside the shop :)

  • Hanh P.

    I don't really understand the hype. These donuts are WAY TOO SWEET! I don't get why people wait in line for an hour and pay cash only for this stuff. If you are going to be cash only then make it worth it... your prices should be LOWER because you have no processing fees! My first time here I waited 45 minutes (which I get it... it's the "new thing in Denver" therefore everyone has to go get it all at once)... I was going to a party so I ordered 3 dozen donuts... we had several specialties in there ($5). I paid over $60. That's crazy. But I was willing to buy it, had to find out what the rave was all about... wow, definitely a stoner thing. You must be stoned to enjoy this because it's all sugar. The cock and balls is soooo not worth it... $5 for a long john (with bavarian cream) and 2 big round donuts that are completely empty... just all DOUGH. Why don't they put cream in the balls too? So we just threw away the "balls." My brother likes the captain crunch ones, but I think it's too sweet. I liked the marshmellow/oreo doughnut, but same thing, one bite and you're good because you have a mouth full of sugar. I know that I probably just don't like sugar as much as some stoners, but I guess this place opened up in Colorado for a reason... so they'll be busy regardless of what I think. If you eat these with a giant glass of milk it will help wash out some of the sweetness though.

    I first saw this place 6 years ago on Man v Food and I have seen them other times on the Food Network ! I made it a goal to go to Oregon but who needs to do that when they came to Denver ! I have been to Voodoo probably around 5 times ! I ABSOUTLY LOVE THIS PLACE !!!! I have never liked doughnuts nor been able to eat them due to allergies.. but now VOODOO VEGAN DOUGHNUTS IS THE ANSWER !!! Never have I see such COOL, UNIQUE AND CRAZY DOUGHNUTS !! Defiantly make it a priority to go here its one of the most fun experiences !!! Make sure you have Cash because it is a cash only place ! They do have and ATM though. They even have merchandise, I bought a shirt from there !

  • Keejoo L.

    I had always seen this place watching FOOD TV, and lo and behold when I get into Denver the first thing I do is pull up Yelp and see Voodoo! What a fun experience it was. Just like the shows had shown, the line zig zagged around the store. People have ample time to decide what they want so the line moves pretty quicky. Donuts are listed on a giant board, displayed in a case, I stood in line with the website open so I could read about all the different ones making sure I was ordering ones I would actually enjoy eating. Of course I had to get the voodoo doll shaped donut...I ended up with a PB one and oreo.... one random one with jelly too. They prices for these donuts are so cheap compared to other gourmet donut shops I have been to over the years! Not to mention the cute box they come in! Sure its become a tourist trap but its a great experience and they are super yummy too.

  • Nuna C.

    Why did this happen? This MIGHT be good on a night of drunken messiness or high glory but with all my sobriety intact this place worries me. It worries me because the line that forms for it is massive. So Denverites line up for over-sugared, ill-conceived doughnut flavors? Why? Just why?! This could be fun but it's just too much. Too many options (bad ones), too much glaze (i.e. frosting/icing), and other than the friendly service there is absolutely no reason to come here. I understand they may not be going after "gourmet" nor "fine" but at least make it good god dammit!

  • Christina M.

    Ok WOW! Let me start out by saying I'm NOT a donut person. BUT WHOLLY COW are these delicious and pure naughtiness! Every donut we bought and ate were fresh and perfect! My fav was the Powder Cake Donut and the Voodoo Doll. They were both perfect and not to heavy or sweet. I will be going back again this weekend with my hubby. Two VERY important notes: They ONLY take cash and DO have an ATM inside AND there are NO tables to sit and enjoy your donuts right away. We stepped outside and sat on the ground/curb/car in front and immediately enjoy 1 donut each. The rest we took home. We also bought a mystery box full for $5 bucks. Highly Recommend this Donut Shop!!!!

    I have seen lines at Voodoo Doughnuts at all hours of the day, at all days of the week. It is a bit insane for a box of doughnuts. If you have the time to spare - don't leave without buying at least two bacon maple bars. Without them, you will know you wasted your time.

    I went in with cash, and it was a Sunday. The line was non existant. And Im used to them in Portland. Had her give me a mixed dozen then half a mixed dozen and i was on my way out the door with my sugar goodness. And they dont disappoint either.

    Meh. I'd heard a lot of rave reviews and was rather disappointed. They boast a ton of different flavors rather than focussing on a few solid ones. Plus the prices are ludicrous in light of the quality. Go to Glazed and Confused instead.

    CASH ONLY Very good donuts! I had the Neapolitan donut and I was really good! It reminded me of the Sponch Mexican cookies. Please be prepare to wait in line since it's very popular.

  • Lan V.

    I came here around 9:30 on a Friday night and the wait was probably about 20 minutes. Not too shabby. I'm glad that's all I waited because the donuts are mediocre. I got a voodoo doll, Neapolitan, and a cream filled one. The breading of the voodoo doll one is kind of dry and the frosting is nothing special. I did like that it was filled with raspberry filling though. The cream filled one tasted fine, but not very fresh. The cream in the middle is more custard like opposed to creamy. My fave one was the Neapolitan one, but why does it have to be so small?! In my opinion, the donut quality is similar to the ones at the grocery stores. It's just that voodoo adds odd items to their donuts like cereal and bubble gum, but the yeast and cake bases are not great. Regardless, everyone has to try voodoo at least once. :)

  • Sally P.

    I've been avoiding Voodoo because of that ridiculous stream of people flowing out the door and onto the bustling sidewalks of Colfaxia. But today, I finally solved this little line problem: I went at 5am on a Sunday morning. Not a single other person! High five, self. As many of these reviews indicate, the donuts themselves are not actually that good. I grew up in the land of Krispy Kreme ('twas founded in NC, fyi!), so my expectations of donuts are Hot&Now, and I will never be getting a plain Voodoo (if that's even a thing they have?) But... COVERED IN COCOA PUFFS?! Ahhh yes yes yes! I think anything covered in cocoa puffs would be worth $2! I'll surely be back. Covertly, when all y'all are sleepin'.

    Hate to write this, but honestly - overhyped, slow service with limited people running the registers to keep an appearance of popularity with a line out the door. They are neat and novel, but that's about it. If you're a big doughnut fan, I'd say you should check it out. As for me - I won't be back again. Just isn't worth the money and the wait.

    Ok but not nearly as good tasting as they are creative in design. We bought 5 donuts. Only the apple fritter makes me want to go back, but there are other places just as good or better.

    I've had Voodoo before (someone else always brings them) and, while they are pretty good donuts, I really don't think the hype is worth much. My fiance and I went to a show at the Ogden Friday the 26th. He really wanted Voodoo so I told him if the taxi driver would wait, we could go. We arrived at about 1:30am and, to my surprise, there were only 4-5 people in line. First off, the ATM was broken (no signage to tell you so) and people were told that "there's a bar down the street". If you're not going to give the option to pay with a card, you should really make sure that your ONLY ATM works. Upon reading another review from today, it looks like it's still broken. Bad for business!! Luckily, I had some cash on me so I waited in line for about 15 minutes while my fiance stayed with the taxi. During that time, NO ONE helped anyone in line. I saw at least 2 people working but did not see them packing donuts, talking to a customer, nothing. I heard other people stating how long it was taking. I waited another few minutes watching others get frustrated over the ATM and the fact that no one seemed to be working. No thanks. I'd rather made the drive to ANYWHERE else than Voodoo. They really need to up their customer service standards....

  • Nicole W.

    Much more of a fan of the denver one than the portland one - but that might be because i can wait for the butt crack of dawn on a rainy sunday to beat the line and get a couple of fresh donuts! The maple bar with bacon is definitely fun and yummy! The double chocolate - not my fav, but hubby sure was happy! There is a line ride inside and a little one outside. According to my other friends if the line is to the door it's a 15 minute wait. Definitely nice to have a fun and different option in town!

  • Vanessa P.

    I have such a sweet tooth and am a sucker for donuts! I visited the Oregon location about a month before coming here and both locations were pretty similar - small shop, line out the door, crazy selection of donuts! I always enjoy the rotating display case of donuts! My personal favorites were the Miami Vice and anything with sprinkles! What made this location unique was their "weed themed" donuts! Their donuts are topped/decorated with a multitude of toppings including bacon, sprinkles, coconut, cereal, etc. Their donuts are yummy, but don't justify more than a 10 minute wait! If I'm going to wait more than 10 minutes, I'm going to make sure I get enough donuts to make my wait worth the time! ;-)

  • Andrea M.

    Cool spot but definitely overrated. Just doughnuts. Not sure why the long line. They aren't foodie doughnuts, just doughnuts covered in cereal or really big doughnuts. I'd go just to say you went but go during the week.

  • Elena V.

    Broke my Voodoo donuts virginity today. To me, the "hype" is just experiencing waiting in the line-- Not in a bad way. The wait didn't take very long, thanks to the place having four cashiers. The cashier I had was very friendly. To be honest, these taste mediocre; it taste just the same as the ones you get at the grocery or some cheap ass place. It's fun to try, atleast. Edit: I felt really dickish for the one star I left, so I'm updating a 3. 3 because the price of the bucket of day old donuts ($8) and how happy it made my friends! The bucket is a good deal if you wanna amuse a crowd with a big bucket of donuts. There was only a handful of specialty donuts, though... And at the bottom it, everything was squished. To be expected, but nonetheless it made me happy to see how gleeful my friends were over donuts. Thanks VD for discounted buckets of donuts!

    I give voodoo doughnuts 4 for ambiance and fun-ness and 3 for the actual doughnut. I wish yelp had 3.5 stars! (I starred up.) The doughnuts are just fine. LaMars has super yum, amazing and these are just pretty good. However, with the choices, its a novelty thats fun enough to bring you back. We arrived around 8:30 on a sunday morning and we waited in line for about half an hour. It was fun looking at the choices and picking out our preferences but the prices on the board were too small to see from far away, so we looked at the online menu. The prices are high, and we got all excited about the "voodoo dozen" and started picking out our 12. The voodoo dozen is picked and prepared by the dudes and is a combo of specialty doughnuts and donut shop doughnuts. My daughters got the voodoo doll, bacon maple, and memphis mafia. I thought it was gross that there was bacon in the doughnut, but this becomes a salted caramel, sweet and salty: yummmmmmy. The rest I would say the frostings and jellies were waaay too sweet. I prefer rich and savory over sugary sweet. Voodoo was cute because when you eat it from the bottom up the red jelly oozes out and looks like he's injurred. Memphis mafia was delicious, it has a flavor that rolls out like wine or wonka chewing gum. It begins with banana and fritter and ends with peanut butter. Blech.. I don't like peanut butter. All of them are so sweet they are hard to eat, and no one could finish. I think it would be best to get an assortment, chop them up and share. All and all though, a super fun outing. A few of the donuts descriptions made me laugh out loud, worth reading the menu just for kicks.

  • Corinne H.

    Hype so much hype but in the end it was just a donut with a ton of stuff on top. Maybe I should preface that donuts are never my first choice for sweets. There are tons of choices and it's definitely an experience at Voodoo so I would recommend going for that. I personally think that there are really only so many donuts you can eat at a time and these are incredibly sweet and filling. We ended up cutting a bite sized piece of each of them so we could get through the box and at least say we tried them all before they got wasted. The cashier was awesome when we were a couple dollars short not realizing it was cash only and borrowed from the tip jar. We have gone back when friends and family were in town so they could experience VD and we left a nice tip in the jar for the great service they gave us the first go around.

  • Nicole P.

    These are the most unique and fun donuts you'll find. They're absolutely worth going to for a treat! I love the concept of the voodoo doll donut with a pretzel steak through the heart and jelly filling blood! I had the bubblegum donut which was so sinfully sweet I had to take breaks from eating it. The prices are a lot more reasonable than I expected from a novelty shop. I came on a week day and stood in very little of a line. I needed that line to make up my mind between the different donuts rotating on the display that day. I recommend checking out their website to prepare yourself for the different combos, otherwise I never would have decided. We also lucked into a parking meter directly in front of the door.

  • Katrina C.

    I'm a tourist, of course I had to make a stop at Voodoo Donuts. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed. We got there on a Friday afternoon around 2, and there were only 5 people in front of us. The line moved unbelievably quickly, and before we knew it we were at the front of the line. We ended up ordering a bacon maple bar, maple blazer blunt, and the maple bar donut (great variety, I know). The cashier was quick and efficient, but not exactly friendly. There's no where to sit in the shop, and it wasn't just like we were going to plop down on Colfax to eat our donuts. So, we carried our box back to our hotel to indulge. Although we really didn't get a better variety of donuts, what we did get was very, very tasty. All the donuts were fresh and light, and the maple icing was decadent. I get what others were saying about them being overly sweet - you can't eat more than one in a sitting. Other things important to note - there is no parking, and according to the signs, tow trucks are always circulating. We found a lot on York St. where the pricing was very reasonable, and parked there to grab our donuts. In addition, it's cash only! There is an ATM on the inside, if you did forget. I also find it to be very strange that there are no descriptions on the menu of what the donuts are topped/filled with. We had done our research prior, so we already knew what we wanted, but had you not done that, how would you know? While some are obviously self explanatory, others are not. The cashier didn't exactly seem willing to explain something like that (especially if there was a long wait). To management, I might recommend having a few little menus printed out with the descriptions on the website. Overall, great visit, and the donuts are worth it. I'll be back on my next visit!

  • Eric B.

    This place...what an awesome idea. Pops and I went in for two Voodoo dozen (baker's). In hind sight, I only wish they had a descriptive menu so we could've been specific with what we wanted rather than let the Voodoo priest do the picking, albeit I'm sure they're all pretty good. There was a line, and the while time I kept thinking how cool it would've been to look at a menu with pictures and descriptions of all their crazy doughnuts while we waited. We're left with a menu overhead with names and prices, and rotary glass cases with doughnuts with no names, some are known and identifiable, while others are not. Keep in mind, this is cash only. There's an ATM next door.

    Clearly this place is for stoners who have burned all their taste buds off. It's a great concept bakery with terrible execution. We ordered a dozen between 4 people and there was not 1 doughnut we liked. We each took bites and left the rest for the bums across the street. This was such a disappointment. They weren't even warm. They were probably baked 2 days ago...we are probably going to get sick

    Oh please! This place doesn't even need a good review. It's ridiculous, and if you don't know yet...you need to go find out. I'm making it my personal mission to try each and every lip smacking donut in this place.

    If you are a cash only business, perhaps you should actually have an ATM on site that works!! Waiting in line and being directed to the "Cash Machine" that is out of order......epic fail

    Very fun, an amazing variety of donuts, a must do while in Denver. And yes, the donuts are great!

    Very long line interesting donuts but I think it is probably just a place for people to say they have been there. I do not see a huge difference from other donut shops.

    I think that voodoo is generally overrated. The donuts are good, but there is always a line out the door (at least every time I've gone, maybe there wouldn't be in the middle of the afternoon) and they don't take credit cards.

    Worth the hype, and the wait up to 20 minutes (considering that I'm very averse to wait). Tried the plain glazed to evaluate the baseline, and it was fantastic--light, fluffy and puffy. Buttery dough and not too sugary despite the glaze. Blueberry old fashioned was good but not mindblowing, and needed more water to wash it down. Apple fritter was delicious and what you'd expect, a little more fried-tasting. Do it if the line is reasonable!

    This place already has a surplus of media coverage, so I'll keep it simple: Cash only. If the line is out the door, your wait is at least an hour. Highlights to have: Portland Cream Donut (fluffy, yeast-risen donut, chocolate, Bavarian cream); Diablos Rex Donut (chocolate cake doughnut); Neapolitan donut.

    Completely unique and always a line especially at night. Grape Ape & Capt my Capt are my favorites. After a dinner out, this is a great place to grab dessert to go.

    Voodoo Doughnut's recent opening in the Mile High city still has not abated. A few friends and I ventured over on a Saturday afternoon and weren't surprised to find a relatively long line. For Voodoo, it could be short, depending on your mood. So we hopped in line and waited for about 30-45 minutes. My choices immediately became limited when the word spread that Voodoo is cash only. I had no idea, so my two bucks would only get me so far. As in, one, maybe two donuts. Okay, that's fine. I get why establishments still do cash only, but it's a real pain in my arse. Since this was my first visit, I opted for the famous namesake, the Voodoo donut. This little guy comes with a pretzel stick that you can stab him with and the jelly will squeeze out. Yep, pretty awesome! While the presentation was cool, it was just a regular jelly donut. The other donuts with cereals tempted me as well, so I'll have to get some on a future visit. Way cool shop, but for me, definitely not worth the wait. You can barely see the donut names and prices on the board above the counters. And the cash only thing is rather obnoxious, IMHO. Oh, and they don't accept pennies. Geez, all I want is a donut, guys. Why have you got to make it so difficult on me!? /wah

    Okay my first visit, the line was out the door but the line went fairly quickly, about 20 minutes. I got a dozen for my coworkers a nice variety. I picked out the maple bacon doughnut. Pretty tasty, but the consistency of the donut really didn't blow me away. I really liked the maple icing on top. I decided to try and again a few months later. This time the line took about 30 minutes. Another dozen for my coworkers. This time I picked out the one covered in mini M&M's. Now that was a better pastry. I could only eat half because it was so rich. Better texture than my previous one and my coworkers enjoyed them as well. I'm still on the fence if they are really worth the wait in line. They have vegan doughnuts and a giant one that equals about 6 donuts. Cash only, but there's an ATM in line.

    Friendly service, unique items, not super expensive for a typical donut, and the donuts are delicious!! Only complaints are that it is almost impossible to find parking nearby, and often the line is out the door(though they seem to hustle and get everyone through the line quickly). If you are willing to splurge and spend $5 on a donut, I definitely recommend the "Memphis Mafia". It will ruin you forever, as no other donut will ever compare again.

    Eh pretty touristy but decent donuts once you get through the line!

  • Brett C.

    I'm not a big fan of overly hyped places with huge price tags..... But this one was actually worth it. The hour + wait in line was fun! Friendly and lively people to talk to made the time fly by. The donuts were expensive but pretty dam good! 6 donuts cost us $14.35. Stop by Hot Chicka Latte and grab yourself a double D straight coffee and head down to stand in line. Parking in the area SUCKS and there are tow trucks circling the area looking for people illegally parked. They WILL tow your ass so be careful! I parked at the Burger King two blocks east(shhhh, don't tell!) CASH ONLY! There is an ATM inside but you should stop prior. The price and parking is what made me give it 4 stars rather than 5.

    Voodoo's theme colour is pink and as you enter the shop you see their 'Good Things Come in Pink Boxes' stacked on the counter. All doughnuts available are shown in a rotating display case which is unfortunately some distance away from where you are standing, in a strictly enforced roped queuing system. Even if you could get a good look at the fantastically decorated doughnuts in the cabinet, you have no way of cross checking the menu board against the individual doughnuts as they aren't labeled. Some are easy to guess such as the best selling Bacon Maple Bar but most of the lurid hued doughnuts remain anonymous. When you get to the cashier - Do NOT cross the pink line on the floor until you are called - you make your selection without dithering. They are scary, angry, annoyed and they don't want any chit chat from you! If you're asking about a doughnut in the cabinet, you sure as heck better be ordering it. You should know that the doughnut with the pentagram on it is the Diablos Rex. If you don't, bow to your server, kiss your rosary and make sure you leave an extra tip! In the end we went with a Voodoo Doll (easy to guess), an Old Dirty Bastard (great name) and a Triple Chocolate Penetration (you point, you buy). As detached as my server may have been, she still tried an upsell. Cashier zombies at Voodoo need to sell a certain amount per shift to keep their sweet job. If I was buying an Old Dirty Bastard, would I like to add a Marshall Mathers and a Maple Blazer Blunt for a 'Rapper's Delight' set? It was a 'no' from us this time as we had more than sufficient. There's no dining in at Voodoo. Pay for your doughnuts (cash only) and leave. We carried our pretty pink box back to our house and dissected the Voodoo Doll with its cute pretzel stake and jam innards. The verdict? Really, it's just a yeast doughnut, similar in taste and texture to Krispy or Dunkin'. In keeping with its alternate appeal, there are several vegan options including the Diablos. It's some very clever marketing though and you can hardly complain about the price. Three very large doughnuts for less than $6. They could easily charge $6 each and still have a cult following. If you don't mind the detached, slight abrupt attitude, you can have fun with a sweet treat payoff for just a few dollars. A cheap tourist attraction indeed.

    I came here to say I came here. The wait was long, cash only is annoying, and the lack of descriptions on the donuts in the case caused too many questions from every group (mine included). The donuts? Well, King Sooper's is doing a lot of the same stuff for like, 69 cents per donut. And you don't have to wait in a long ass line. The donuts tasted pretty good, but not that much different than any other donut shop. If you want to get one of their super zany donuts, go for it. If you want a normal donut or even something with marshmallows or cereal on top, holler at your local donutmonger instead.

    I am not a fan of Doughnuts at all. I will have one occasionally when they are available at work meetings. I do not buy them. Now we have that out of the way I will review the doughnut I had selected a maple bacon doughnut from the many colorful selection of doughnuts. It was pretty good for a doughnut. I don't like overly sweet food but this was a well balanced doughnut. I know this place doesn't suck because there are throngs of people always waiting in line for doughnuts. It is reminiscent of the Crispy Creme craze around the turn of the century. Great Job!

    I live two easily walked blocks to this place, and have wandered over a good handful of times in the past month. I've even waited in line - then left the line. waiting in line for doughnuts....I mean, all their missing is a guy at the door drawing moustaches on the index fingers of everyone walking in and handing out free pairs of Voodoo Doughnut branded, neon Ray-Bans. Sorry, I digress. the doughnuts I got were actually quite spectacular. The stars I withhold from this review have to do with Voodoo's business model and the extensive and unnecessary confusion the place is full of. Clearly, this is one hip and happening place. Customers pour out of the front doors, blissful to be in a long line. Seriously. You would think, in order to expedite the ordering process and shorten the wait, there would be tons of information up so that you were ready to order when you got to a register. And, there is a menu screen! And, it's about 20 feet in the air and designed with a 10 pt font. I mean, I am probably twice the age of some of the trendsters pogo'ing about in their excitement to eat fried dough...but, the menu is absolutely unreadable. I wound up pulling up a menu on my phone, after which all of the uber-caffeinated masses followed suit. Why not a huge menu on the wall? Are you trying to slow the crowds down so they stream out the door and people passing by will think, "Holy crap, that's a line for /doughnuts/? I clearly must have them!" A-Ha moment right there, and it seems to be doing the trick, along with irritating sane, logical customers like myself. TO THE DOUGHNUTS. I got: The Voodoo Doll (not bad, cute and kitschy) The Cock and Balls (filled with Bavarian cream, natch. I was asked if I'd like to have a message written on my cock and balls for an extra $1. Seriously, though, the Bavarian cream is delicious and the thing was smothered in so much chocolate that if I possessed a cock and balls, they may have reacted to all of the goodness.) Maple Bacon Bar (Really decent bacon, not cheap and greasy, well seasoned. The dough of the bar was extremely light and perfect.) Mexican Hot Chocolate (Also one of my favorites, a simple, dense chocolate cake doughnut dusted in cinnamon and spices that has a surprising little kick) Portland Cream (Bavarian cream with maple topping) And, sweet haysoos, the Memphis Mafia. This is one I would get every time. MASSIVE banana fritter topped with peanut butter, chocolate, peanuts and chocolate chips. Amazing. The prices vary, but those came to under $20. I've seen the quality of these compared to places like King Soops, but there really is no comparison, even though i love the doughnuts at Soops, usually. The doughnuts at Voodoo are delicious, but you've got to decide whether or not you're willing to stand in line to get your hands on them

  • Dean S.

    PROS: They physically have donuts They taste freshly made CONS: The main flavor in all the donuts we got was hype It was just about $15 for 6 donuts We had to wait in line for almost 40 minutes Cash only No parking Blasphemously stuffy inside. All in all its a regular donut you could get anywhere, it just has cereal, candy or a funny design on it. Dunkin donuts is supremely better. I will not be revisiting.

    I really like their donuts. Their customer service, well that is another thing. No more needs to be be said about it. If you are a male you may get the feeling that the staff are sexist. I had four different donuts from there they were all excellent. The standard glazed with raspberry filling was exquisite, sweet soft and just delicious. Nothing like the donuts you get in Eastern Europe, much fluffier and soft with a soft unburnt crust. Tonight the parking cost us $70, ugh. One of the other reviews said parking can be a challenge. It is. We arrived around eight pm. We parked behind the dentists surgery there were two other cars parked there. I ignored the we will tow you at any time of day or night sign. The surgery was clearly closed. Anyway when we got back after five minutes with our donuts the trusty VW was already jacked up. The ever so friendly tow truck driver said $70 right now. I was not going to argue. You have to know how to pick your fights. I made sure I got a receipt and the name of the company and his name and ergo just in case. All the while knowing I was in the wrong. Then I noticed the camera on the outside of the dentists office. I wonder if they get kickbacks from the tow truck company. Anyway beware. The donuts are very good but at 35 bucks each I thought they were excessive tonight. I will be going back often. However I have learned my lesson and will probably cycle next time.

    Bums pee in the back ally where voodoo likes to spray off their donut racks. Water sprays up from the ground onto these donut racks that go in the oven to cook your donuts. Absolutely disgusting!!!!! Also the guy that works the cash register is a real jerk! I will never return here and will continue to warn everyone I know. THESE GUYS CANT EVEN MAKE A GOOD GLAZE DONUT ANYWAYS.

  • Aimee P.

    I am not a donut connoisseur but their donuts seem just like every donut shop - just with their voodoo vibe and a few other breakfast cereals slapped on top. Luckily no line. Figured if their were not busy they would at least sweep the floors.

  • Randi D.

    Ok so I eat donuts about every 5 years. They just aren't my thing, but every now and then they sound great. I heard a ton about Voodo so we decided to check them out one night. They have a pretty hefty variety of donut options, but unfortunately they are all specific and not modifiable. Maybe it was just me but I really wanted to try the banana fritter - I just didn't want all the other stuff on it. That said, they are great tasting donuts in flavor combos that you really can't get at other shops - including one with Captain Crunch on top. So a fun donut alternative to the standard donut. Pretty tasty for sure and I highly recommend the Apple Fritter. It was pretty dang tasty.

  • Jade T.

    Hubby requested breakfast from here as he'd seen this spot featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. He's a total doughnut fanatic so we made the stop on good Ole Colfax to see what Mr.Voodoo man had baking! This place had flavor combos you just don't expect to work on doughnuts but they do!! Cereal, candy, bubble gum, different jelly filled types... it's like the willy Wonka of doughnuts spinning around that magical carousel! Nestled amongst all the weed shops I'm sure this place is a pitstop for the munchies lol! Lived up to the hype! Everything was good! So much so we have to stop for a dozen on the way home!

    Super bomb and super friendly! Okay, there's a wait. Get over it. There's always a wait, there's always going to be one, it's worth it. And truth be told, the line looks a lot more intimidating than it actually is. Spark up some conversations (or a joint --- just kidding, its illegal to smoke in public *cough*) with some strangers or if you must, take some pictures and social network about it. We were just visiting so were unfamiliar with the surrounding areas. You'll find out quickly with doughnuts named "gay bar" that you are indeed -- at least what seems like --- the gayborhood. Everyone was super friendly. Haha. Lots of cool names, flavors, and shaped doughnuts. Out of the ordinary from your typical mom n pop doughnut shop. And it's not just because of these cool names and flavors -- the quality and taste of the doughnut is superb! The rundown: -- Blunt doughnut. A sugar / cinnamon doughnut with maple glaze tip and red sprinkles (to resemble a lit blunt). The guy at the register was super friendly and threw in an extra one of these because he said the first one didn't have enough "spark" (sprinkles) on it. Haha. Nice guy. -- Voodoo Doll doughnut -- So good. Probably my favorite. Typical chocolate glazed doughnut shaped and designed like a voodoo doll. Their signature doughnut, I had to try it! -- Old Dirty Bastard doughnut -- So I told the guy who was helping me to make a recommendation, he recommended this. GEEZUS! I ate this first and was unable to finish the rest of my doughnuts until the following morning. All I remember is peanut butter and chocolate, the rest is a blur. We were in Denver on 4/20, give me a break. Haha :) Overall I'm glad they placed one of these in Denver! And just in time for 4/20. Smart. Can't wait to go back! I've been craving their doughnuts. They've opened a lot of fancy shmancy doughnut places here in LA like cronut and fronut but nothing beats a voodoo!

  • Johni G.

    I stopped by at around 3am on a Saturday morning and I was expecting to find the line not going out the door! Which, I was lucky and the line was juuuust to the door, so I didn't need to stand out in the cold. I honestly didn't really like their setup, it seemed like it was made to expressly waste time, and the atmosphere really seemed to pander to the niche "man this place is so non-conformist" attitude. You know, hipstery. I had to explicitly ask if they made anything simple, like a chocolate glazed bavarian creme; which I'm glad they did... As negative as this review sounds the redeeming quality is that the two doughnuts I got were the best doughnuts I've ever had. Honestly, I tried one on the way home and expressed out loud to absolutely no one that it was delicious. I'll want more in the future, but I'm not sure I can stomach going in in person.

  • Michelle N.

    We loved the Neapolitan, the Blue Raspberry/Cotton Candy, the Dirt (Oreo) and the Bubble Gum donuts are all awesome! I didn't care too much for the Captain Crunch or the Grape Ape.....too sweet and neither tasted good, too overpowering for my tastebuds:)

  • David M.

    Bienvenidos to Portland's Rocky Mtn incarnation of Voodoo Doughnuts (they use the more formal spelling). Voodoo's opening is kind of like when Le Bakery Sensual opened up, lo, these many years ago, selling their very graphic and funny confections done in anatomically accurate (and even enhanced:) format. It also reminds me of when Krispy Kreme came to Highlands Ranch over a dozen years ago, and cars and people lined up for what seemed like hours to grab a dozen donuts, dripping with goo, and hot out of the oven. So, in these ways, Voodoo Doughnuts is repeating Denver's bakery history. But, while they serve creative and really good donuts, I think in the long run they're going to have to do a little more to keep the crowds rolling in. At Dunkin's / Lamar's / Winchell's Donuts you can grab a cup of coffee along with getting your sugar buzz. But I didn't see that option offered at Voodoo. While folks might make the stop now just to see what all the hype's about, my guess is that in the future customers aren't going to want to make yet another stop at a separate coffee shop in order to round out their wonderfully nutritious breakfast (lunch, dinner, or whatever). As for me? I'm a fan. Their donuts really do show more character and flavor than Dunkin or Winchells and maybe even Lamars. As for Krispy Kreme . . . well, prolly nothing fried in oil is quite as good as one of those bad boys, right out of the oven. But Voodoo comes close, and I'll certainly be (occasionally) returning when my jeans are feeling loose. (Yeah, right. As if I'm really going to wait for that to happen . . . :)

  • Gregory K.

    Ever since I moved to Denver I kept hearing about this place. There's no parking so plan extra time when you go. You will have to park on the very limited street parking and pay a meter during the week. Staff is friendly and the donut shop is unique with its own character. Donuts were very good. The only way to get 5-Stars is if there was parking as we were "yelled" at by an employee with a bull horn telling us not to park behind the store or risk being towed and fined $300! And bring cash. This is one store that doesn't believe in anything but cash. Hmmmm...

    (4)

  • Robin M.

    Horrible place - makes you want to eat doughnuts. Beware. I could avoid doughnuts before with no problem. Now I'm afraid I'm hooked. Try some adventure in your doughnuts with their interesting fancy donuts, or enjoy the simplicity of an old-fashioned or a Mexican hot chocolate. Delicious whichever way you go. Study the online menu (with pictures and descriptions) rather than squinting at the board at the shop. If you have a smartphone, this will give you a good way to occupy the time while in line. Now open 24/7 and there are off hours when there is no line, in case you're wondering. This is going to make the Atkins diet really hard............!

  • Amanda K.

    Voodoo donut was genius when they put this location right near the weed store. I bet they make a killing here. When I stopped here with my husband the line was out the door but it moved quickly. I got the captain crunch and my husband got one with Oreo and peanut butter. I couldn't believe the freshness of the doughnuts. This was the best doughnut I have ever had. I hope they look to expand nationwide in the future or at least to DC. Make sure you have cash or use the ATM inside.

    (5)

  • Becca R.

    Finally made my way to Voodoo this afternoon and was happy to see that there wasn't much of a line! I split a Voodoo Dozen (the employee gets to pick) with a friend and we have not been disappointed. The donuts seemed really fresh, and they have alot of fun, imaginative flavors. My favorite so far has been the Cap'n Crunch. We also added on a maple cinnamon blunt and a maple bacon bar. The blunt donut was okay, mostly just appealing because.... well, because it's a donut shaped like a blunt. The maple bacon bar was awesome and came with two big crispy slices of bacon on top. The service was very friendly, albeit slow, and there is not much in the ways of seating. I do wish they had bigger menus. The pictures of donuts are almost impossible to identify and the prices are virtually illegible from a distance-- and there were only a handful of people in front of us when we went. If you know that your business is going to have a constant line of people, making the menu more accessible for those in line is not a bad idea. Also, I know its been said, but the "cash only" thing really irritates me. Yeah, there's an ATM in the store....But when the homeless man on the corner selling the Voice accepts credit cards and your restaurant doesn't, I think that's pretty inexcusable.

  • Alex s.

    Overall most of the donuts we tried were over rated. The best one to try is the simple old fashioned cake. Just the right amount of sweetness with a crispy outside and light inside. Otherwise the service is pretty slow. Despite going during the middle of the day in the week there was a long line to the door as only one person was helping customers. They also lack any description of the various types of donuts but most of them were various colored sugar or sugared cereals.

    (3)

  • Erin P.

    Really delicious and definitely worth the money. Wait can be a little long, but they go surprisingly fast for how many people they have in there. I'm a vegan and it so hard to find good places with vegan desserts. They have a lot of options for vegans, so I definitely recommend it!

    (4)

  • Elizabeth S.

    The "No Name Doughnut" was worth the 20 minute wait but by the time we got to the front of the line I think the staff was cranky and the girl who waited on us did not seem very helpful. It is a fun place to visit once for the experience but I wouldn't wait in that long of a line again for a doughnut.

    (4)

  • Jesse N.

    This place is always packed. One evening there was a break in the action and only five or so people in line, I figured I would see what the hype was about. Even with only five people it took a while, this place is full of gapers who have no idea what they want, don't have cash ready, so the line doesn't move very efficiently. Once it was my turn I asked for six mixed doughnuts, didn't care what kind as long as they didn't have things piled on top of them (they have a lot of these types). This didn't go over too well, as a long sigh and a reply of, "I have no idea what you want or like". After reassuring her I truly didn't care which ones, she reluctantly picked six random doughnuts. As for the product...its a doughnut, pretty good, but at the end of the day its a doughnut. Would I get another, sure, but I wouldn't wait in a line more than five deep.

  • Rebecca F.

    This doughnut shop is always and I mean ALWAYS normally busy with lines out the door when I drive past. One afternoon, my friends and I decided to stop in and see what the fuss was all about. The afternoon we chose to go wasn't particularly busy, but still had a bit of hustle and bustle going on. They have TONS of donuts to choose from and even a few unique ones that I've never seen before (at least at a shop). My favorite unique doughnut they have is the 'cock & balls'. It's pretty awesome. My friends and I ended up purchasing the 'Voodoo Dozen' and its basically a variety of twelve of the most popular donuts they sell there at Voodoo. All of them smelled absolutely delicious while driving home, we could hardly contain ourselves. Once we arrived home, we dug in without hesitation. The first doughnut I tried was the one with Captain Crunch on top of it. It was like a sugary childhood dream right in front of my eyes. I would recommend going here and trying the donuts, but there's no need to wait in a HUGE line for them. They're just donuts. Wait until their non-peak hours (usually during the weekdays) and stop on in to grab some. You won't be disappointed, just filled with a great sugar buzz for the rest of the day!

  • Faete G.

    I rarely eat junk food but my husband and me decided we would go here for our recent anniversary of the day we met. We're compete saps like that. Every time we drive by this place there is always a super huge line, so we figured it had to be amazing. I think we stood in line for close to forty five minutes. I mean, the line was actually moving pretty fast when you consider how long it was. Staff was really friendly and kind, and they hunted down the right doughnut we wanted when there wasn't one in the case. They never rush you and they were patient. Thing is, these doughnuts are tasty, yeah, but there's really no reason to wait so long for one. They weren't Earth-shatteringly good or anything like that, they were just really fresh. Why are they so fresh? Obviously because the turnover is pretty quick. Don't get me wrong. If I was at a party that had VooDoo Doughnuts, yeah, I'd eat one. But, no, I wouldn't just wait that long in line for one. They weren't that special.

    So, my best friend and I decided to run over here on a Thursday night, literally around midnight, hoping to avoid a long line. We waited about 15-20 minutes, mostly inside. We ordered one Captain my Captain ($1.75) and the bacon maple bar ($3.75). Here's the thing, I'm glad I had a few drinks in me and the line was short. They're doughnuts. Extremely sweet doughnuts. They're different so I guess that's why people like them. But, at the end of the day they're just doughnuts! Probably won't ever eat them again. But they're worth a one time try!

  • Michell H.

    This place is definitely a must try one time thing. The donuts, in my opinion, is just covered in frosting which personally I don't like. I mean they aren't gourmet ones, but they taste alright. However, you have to go there at least once just for the experience because the place is so cool, the donuts they have are crazy. And they have a friendly staff.

  • JC C.

    DEAR PEOPLE. 2 POINTS TO MAKE YOUR VISIT TO VDD AWESOME: #1 TRUST ME: STICK WITH THE BORING TRADITIONAL FLAVORS and you will not be disappointed! Yum. Velvet soft insides and crispy delicious outsides. All those other weird ones are not nearly as good as your run-of-the-mill powdered jelly, glazed, blueberry cake etc. As for the crazy ones; the cereal on top is blech. The cereal is soggy! Soggy cereal sucks in milk - sucks on a donut too. Bacon maple? -Come on, that's just gross. The Cock-n-Balls? It has 4 pounds of that chocolate cream on it. Brrrpp... excuse me. I don't feel well. Stick with the tried and true. #2 REVIEW THE DONUT MENU ON THEIR WEBSITE BEFORE YOU GO! You want a picture of the donut next to the name of the donut. At the shop, the menu is 20 feet away from you behind the counter and 20 feet up in the air. And - it's just the donut names! How am I supposed to know what the 'Sequined Superman' is? (I just made that name up, by the way. Don't ask for it. They won't know what the hell is wrong with you.) The actual donut prototypes themselves are swirling around in a glass case next to the counter - but without the names! Dumb set-up. Because you cannot marry the name with the actual donut, you have to wait until you get to the counter so you can just point like Tarzan at the donut you want when it comes around the carousel. "Pretty. Want." Follow points 1 and 2 and have a 5 star Voodoo experience. You're welcome.

    Dirty, delicious donuts. The main question on your minds must be: is it worth the wait? The answer? For the fun... yes. For the donuts.... unless you're showing up in the middle of the night and can get away with a 20 min wait, Dunkin donuts will prob do you just as good without an hour(s) long wait. Try these!! Ol' Dirty Bastard: Oreo crumbles, chocolate and caramel frosting. Death by donut. Maple bar with bacon: I mean, bacon... so you gotta. Super sweet to pair with the saltiness of the bacon. Orange-y one... don't remember the name, but filled with orange creme and a marmalade jelly Berry Miami Vice: Berries and pink sprinkles! Blueberry - Regular ol' cake donut, but tastes like a fried, glazed blueberry muffin. Wonderful! Meh: Grape-Ade: Kool-Aid powder on a donut, a little too much, getting graped in the mouth Cereal variety (Captain Crunch, Rice Crispies)... true, they taste like you're eating cereal and milk... plus bread. Nothing too impressive.

    Id give negative stars if available. Cash only business. Cashier uses gloves to handle cash and donuts, no changing of gloves and no paper used to grab donuts. Watched this for 10 minutes before recalling what I did with cash at a bachelorette party, vomitting in my mouth then leaving and reporting it to health department.

    Not sure what the hypes about. My little niece wanted to go. We stood in line forever for what tasted like grocery store doughnuts IMO. Not worth it, would never go there again not worth the long line..i can get same thing cheaper & faster from king soopers..

    I always want to try new things, so I had to try Voodoo doughnut. My son and I went in the middle of the day on a Monday and waited 10 minutes. We brought our cash and we were ready to go. You can either pay per doughnut or you can save money by letting the clerk pick a dozen (13) for you. The selection is enormous! Each doughnut that I've tried from here was really good. The chocolate is poured down from Heaven, I am sure of it. I don't even like chocolate doughnuts, but these are good. I think that people should know that a certain other doughnut place (KK) is a whole other kind of dessert, not really a doughnut per se, but a half cooked, sugar coated bit of dreamy goodness. This is not that. These doughnuts are real doughnuts, they are perfectly cooked with a bit of "bite" on the outside and a tender inside. Perfect in every way. So are they better than KK? In my opinion KK isn't a doughnut, its a dessert, so it's kind of an apples to oranges thing.

    For just donuts, they are pretty damn good. The maple bacon was my absolute favorite, but I tried a little of every one we bought (a very large and expensive pink box) and I liked them all.

    Sometimes you have to wait for good things. Wanna speed things up here???? Look at the menu online and pick your stuff in advance. Don't wanna wait? Go during off peak hours (rise early). And Bring cash. And then bask in donut gloriousness. I've been to the voodoo in pdx and this is right on par with that store. Sounds kinda like the soup nazi episode. Well that guy made damn good soup didn't he???

    Ok, I came here at 4:15 in the morning to beat the line to get donuts for my office. Turns out that was the PERFECT time. I was third in line (that early?!), and I was in and our with 25 donuts in about 20 minutes. The people were pleasant enough. Granted, it was early. The donuts themselves - the fritters and cock n' balls are GIGANTIC (pun possibly intended). Totally worth the price. The other donuts were just meh. My Diablo was pretty dry. The Old Dirty Bastard was good, but crazy rich. Yum, though! I love the idea of this place, but honestly, the donuts aren't exactly better than anywhere else. They're just funky and have more flavors. I like it a lot, but I don't know if I can justify going down to Colfax at crazy early hours to avoid lines for it. Also, 25 donuts cost me $54.00. I got: Toasted Coconut: $1.10 Bacon Maple: $3.25 Colfax Cream: $1.90 Chocolate Coconut: $1.10 4 Peach Fritters $3.50 each 2 Cock N' Balls $5.70 each Chocolate Cake $1.00 Mexican Hot Chocolate $1.25 Glazed Chocolate: $1.00 Powdered Sugar: $1.00 2 Glazed Plain Yeast $1.00 each Portland Cream $1.90 2 ODB $2.10 each Diablos Rex $1.90 Voodoo Doll $2.10 Dirt $1.90 3 Chocolate Yeast $1.00 each Total: $54.00

    I'm not the one who's so far away any more because Voodoo Doughnuts is in Denver now. I am definitely not one to wait in line for an hour just because of the hype. So I waited a couple months and only had to wait maybe 20 minutes or so. The line is actually fairly efficient with four open registers. I think it takes a bit longer because its hard to see the menu before ordering, so people do a lot of looking at that at the register. I think printing out the general menu so people can take a look at the beginning of the line would be a good idea. The donuts themselves are pretty good. At Voodoo it's all about the insides and out. The donuts are just typical cake donuts but they do have some wonderful icings and fillings. I ordered the Colfax Creme, Maple Glaze, Mango Tango and Miami Vice. All four were really good...particularly the unexpectedly mango-y filling and the maple glaze icing, which is done very well here. Breath in. Breath in. I'm coming back again.

  • Kevin B.

    WOW! Waited 45 minutes in line to be surprised by a pretty good looking and tasting doughnut!! I ordered 4 donuts for myself. A regular chocolate, another longer chocolate (forget the name), a DIRT, and an old dirty bastard. All of the donughts were airy and super fluffy. The dough and fry time were perfect and all the flavors worked well. My favorite was the DIRT doughnut which is basically a glazed donut with white frosting and oreo cookies. Simple, yet delectable. I'd make the trip out here to try it out but I wouldn't make this shop a regular stop simply because the line is ridiculous! Voodoo you later!

    My first visit was opening week :) The lines were around the block (2 hour wait) .. It was worth it - Best doughnut's I've ever had! Currently - Same quality & going :) If you like doughnut's just a little bit, I highly, highly recommend this place! I purchased a shirt & proudly wear it. #Delicious

    As parodied in The Simpsons episode "The Day the Earth Stood Cool", Voodoo Doughnut is a fun, indulgent, and atypical shop. As of this writing (Mar '14) the lines are still way long, even if arriving early or mid day. Good donuts: The Loop (covered in Froot Loops) and the Gay Bar (rainbow frosting on a Boston cream filled longjohn) Soso: the Mexican Hot Chocolate

  • Sarah M.

    Was in Denver visiting with friends and we knew we had to go to Voodoo. Went around 5pm on Saturday and the line was just out the door. But it moved quickly. The woman at the counter was very friendly. We got 12 doughnuts of our choice but next time I may decide to do the Voodoo dozen where they pick for you. All the donuts we got were delicious. The bacon on the maple bacon was generous. The cinnamon sugar was comparable to ones I've had at apple farms. Fruit loops on the Gay Bar were kind of stale. But overall a great experience and must see when in Denver (or Portland where their original shop is).

    So it's my husband's birthday and I figured in lieu of a boring cake I would surprise him with Voodoo Doughnuts (wife of the year, I know....) Parking is kinda inconvenient due to it being on Colfax with no lot, but luckily there was a meter available. The line was almost to the door when I arrived, but it moved pretty fast. Took me about half an hour to get to the front. They only take cash which is kind of a bummer, but they have an ATM inside. I went ahead and got him the Voodoo sampler box with a dozen of their most popular menu options. I also threw in a cock 'n balls which they kindly wrote "Happy Birthday" on for me. Total came to about $30.. Which wasn't too bad I suppose. I didn't get to try any of them myself due to a gluten allergy (seriously.. wife of the year for waiting in that line and not even getting to try them!) but my husband gave them pretty rave reviews. They definitely lived up to the hype as far as creativity goes... there were some pretty crazy options. I mean, Captain Crunch, Oreos, bacon, and bubblegum as topping options is pushing some boundaries.... but they somehow managed to make it work... and totally addicting. Definitely a unique addition to the Denver scene and worth checking out!

    Four stars, only for originality. Donuts are ok, nothing special in the taste department. I find them all to be excessively sweet when they don't need to be. Custard filled ones are my favorite.

  • Michelle A.

    Well I was downtown and Voodoo donuts was calling my name. So down Colfax I drove and saw that the line was not out the door. I entered and saw the cash only sign. I almost walked out because I only had $8.00 on me. I stayed and so glad I did. I was there maybe 25 minutes. I had enough for 4 donuts but decided it was better than zero dunuts. My favorite was the maple bacon. I ate it in bed when no one was watching. Oh Yum! My friends went yesterday and there was no line at all because it is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. I felt bad because I wanted to invite them over the day I bought mine but I didn't have enough so I just told them about Voodoo. HEHEHE!!!. I am bad.

  • Corey F.

    If you absolutely have to have a donut and you are in the neighborhood, Voodoo will suit just fine. If the line is to the door (or out the door as it frequently is), it's not worth the wait. And don't expect super cheerful service, it's apparently just not their thing. That being said, if you are lucky enough to get a fresh O.D.B., consider yourself the Voodoo lottery winner, enjoy the s*@% out of it, and then in your sugar fueled high, wish that Denver had more donut options for you, 'cause we need a little happy balance for our overly healthy Colorado lifestyles.

  • Robert G.

    Well we found out why there were the long lines. Not because of a great experience that awaited us but because of slow and poor service. Once inside we faced sticker shock and a staff that was not knowledgeable about their products. The kicker was that when I bit into my jelly doughnut, there wasn't a drop of filling inside of it. Eek! Methinks not.

  • Jen L.

    Had to try this place out while in town. We got there around 10:50am on a Friday and waited about 30 minutes. I thought this was kind of a long wait for a weekday, but then again it was the Rockies opening day. Like most people have pointed out, the ATM was broken, the menu was small (but you had plenty of time to stare at it while inside), and the service was slow, albeit friendly. My haul: Dirt doughnut (Oreos)- $1.90 Old dirty bastard- $2.10 Marshall Mathers (M&Ms)- $1.50 Chocolate coconut- $1.10 Raspberry Romeo (vegan)- $2.20 They were all really tasty, but I didn't care for the ODB...a little bit too much going on in my opinion. The vegan doughnut didn't taste vegan! Not dry at all. Unfortunately they only had 4 or 5 vegan options. The woman who helped me said they usually have more. Definitely worth a try. Only downside is the wait, but help everybody out my looking at the menu online beforehand or when you're in line. Don't be that person pointing at each and every doughnut asking the worker what it is. Please...

  • Lin V.

    Long lines are typical, had fun chatting with other customers and their recommendations. I was able to venture here with a co worker while we were on break. We had to ride the bus there, the bus driver made us sick with his driving. So we decided to catch a cab back. Definitely worth it. Ordered the dozen for the fam in AZ.

  • Genevieve A.

    Voodoo is one of those places you have to go at least once, but once you go you're definitely going back! You'll probably stand in line for a good 15 minutes, but it's not because they're slow-it's because they're awesome. There are usually people lined up out the door. If you walk down Colfax, day or night, you're definitely going to see people carrying their pink boxes. They definitely have a cult following here. You can get any of the doughnuts vegan, and they are amazing.

  • Mariya V.

    GROSS! Way too sweet. you're just looking for health problems if you're a regular. They add way too much topping on the already piled on glaze/frosting. I don't understand the hype, will never come here again.

  • L.T. G.

    You know you've come to the right spot in Denver on a late Friday night when the police officers standing in front, while carting away a homeless, inebriated man, exclaims that "Voodoo donuts is a great place for an armed robbery, because of the location, late hours and cash only policy!" I've actually been to the original VDD in Portland and the line was just as long, the donuts were good, but a the end of the day, they're donuts. Can donuts really be that special? If you have a sweet tooth and a passion for pastries, then you must make the stop and forfeit the long line, because it will be worth it. I'm not big on sweets, but Voodoo is satisfactory for what it is.

  • Drizzy G.

    Three stars for the doughnuts. Minus two stars for the long line and being a cash only establishment, which actually changed my first visit from go to no. I didn't have cash and didn't care to use an atm just to buy doughnuts. Two stars for the friendly upbeat staff singing and sounding off horns. All in all though, the doughnuts aren't really that impressive. Nothing unique about the doughnuts other than the toppings and some of the shapes. For the line you wait in, you would think there was more to them. Nope. My over all impression; Voodoo Doughnuts has a great gimmick and if you're okay with waiting or going at a time that is not super busy, it's a 'neat' experience. Would I go back? Not really. Maybe if I was grabbing doughnuts for work. Other people would appreciate the idea that I waited forever to bring them a sweet treat. I'm a sucker for sweets and I don't really discriminate when it comes to anything with sugar, but I don't see what all the hype is about..

  • Kat R.

    I live pretty close to here & have gone here several times, donuts are always amazing, my favorite are the apple & peach fritters. My only con is: the staff. I've seen more than once people come out of their way to go to VooDoo- expecting a good experience & are exited to be there.. but when they finally reach the the counter & ask questions etc & the staff response is 'I don't know they are just donuts' I could personally care less about the staff because I go there often simply for the yummy donuts but I just feel kinda bad because VooDoo is hard to come by and should feel kiiinda special??!

    HOLY DOUGHNUTS! This place is awesome...I just cant finish the doughnuts....so much sugar. Nonetheless, if you have sweet tooth, this is the place to go! The only downside is parking is bad and you stand in line. No secrets here, just an inconvenience if you are on the go.

    I have eaten at the original Voodoo Doughnut in Portland. Denver's Voodoo Doughnuts needs more efficient and friendly staff. Some staff was friendly others were just trying to make you mad at how slowly they worked. Are they purposely trying to create the lines and generate hype. They are losing major business and reputation. What a shame. Portland Voodoo 4.5 stars

    VooDoo Doughnuts - a big craze right now, so we had to check it out. There currently are approximately 54 varieties. Some of the doughnuts are vegan too. Interior - linoleum floor, purple, blue, and tangerine orange colored walls. 3 big chandeliers, 2 display cases that have an example of each of the doughnuts, or the majority of them anyway. There is a black (high) ceiling, which helps it to "disappear." Be prepared to stand in line, a line that snakes through the beginning of the restaurant. There is no place to sit, so be prepared, as you will have to wait. There is an ATM machine inside the door, which is good, as Voodoo Doughnuts is a "CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT." You are warned of this with several signs throughout the place. Remember, CASH ONLY. The staff was friendly enough, and answered our questions, as we pointed to doughnuts in the display case, asking which this one is, what's that one, etc. The majority of the people in line in front of us, were doing the exact same thing, so be prepared to wait. There is a large sign above the main counter, that shows a TINY picture of each doughnut, with an even tinier one-liner below that. It would be easier and nicer, if somehow the establishment made a larger sign, or larger picture of each of the 54 (or so) variety of doughnuts, one that you can actually read while standing in line. Yes, they had a few printed menus at the front counter, which people (including us) were passing around, once we had read the menu. A bigger, easier to read, sign of the different doughnuts would be greatly appreciated. Prices - really couldn't tell you, as I didn't see them posted anywhere in the store. I asked the young lady that assisted us at the front counter, how much a dozen doughnuts were. She quoted me something about approximately $7 for a dozen of some type of doughnuts, and $12 (or something like that) for a dozen of another type of doughnuts. It was very hard to hear her, as she spoke very softly, the music in the background was loud, and there were lots of people in line (again, be prepared to wait), so it was noisy. Parking - street parking, so you will have to feed a meter, or find parking, perhaps, on a side street. Recap - will we be back, most likely.... No. I must admit that we tried the buttermilk bar, which was one of the 4 we tried. I absolutely love a buttermilk bar (doughnut). The buttermilk bar at VooDoo doughnuts is not worth it, it was very dry! The buttermilk bar at Lamar's Doughnuts is so much better! Hey, all of the doughnuts at Lamars Doughnuts are better, that's my opinion. Yes, they have 54 (or so) variety of doughnuts at VooDoo doughnuts, but the variety really doesn't matter, if the basic doughnut (the basic batter of the doughnut) is not that great. Enjoy your doughnuts, but probably somewhere else, and that's my opinion.

    Until recently, Denver has been a doughnut wasteland. I, and other folks who came here from other, more doughnut-friendly places, was shocked to find that in Colorado, doughnuts are a breakfast only food. This was reinforced by the fact that if you wanted a doughnut after 2pm, you had to get a stale grocery store doughnut. Over time, more doughnut shops have moved into town, and based on the lines I've seen as they've opened up, it seems like the days of the old doughnut dessert denying regime are numbered. I was obviously not the only one dying for day-round doughnuts. Nowhere is this insatiable demand for fried dough more obvious than on the sidewalk outside of Voodoo Doughnut, which most hours of the day snakes its way east on Colfax for half a block. This line has worked double duty, simultaneously intriguing and enraging potential customers, for a couple of months now with no signs of slowing down. We recently decided to try at about 7:30am on Sunday morning and the line reached just to the door. From the door to the counter took probably 20 minutes, which seemed an acceptable amount of time to wait. As you wind your way through the store, you pass display cases that house sample doughnuts so you can make your mind up about what you want when you get up there. This is good, because the digital menus are a complete waste of space, absolutely unreadably small. Look at the website before you go to get a sense of what's offered. Also, they're cash only, and they have one ATM that appears to run on a dial up modem, so don't rely on that. Being cash only seems pretty silly in a day and age where I can plug something into my phone and accept credit cards, but I don't have a huge problem with it. When we were there, all four registers were operating and humming right along. The wait was definitely caused by customers who get to the counter and have no clue what to order. I'm sure this is exacerbated by the tiny stupid menus, but placing the entire blame for the line on Voodoo is unfair based on what we saw. Service was excited and super friendly. It doesn't seem like the most efficient system in the world, as the server has to keep coming back to the monitor to check to see what you ordered as they fill up the box (can't print out a ticket, huh?), but we saw neither dillying nor dallying on the part of the staff. And finally, the doughnuts themselves are heavenly and creative. You can get your sprinkles doughnuts and chocolate frosted if you want, but there are lots of outside the box options topped with cereal, cookies, filled, and our favorite, shaped and decorated like voodoo dolls and filled with jelly blood. They taste great, but you'll want to eat them shortly after purchase because the cereal toppings become stale very quickly. Were they worth the wait? Yes. Would they have been worth a wait twice or three times as long? Probably not. But it felt like an experience. Not one I want to have again right away, but the next time my doughnut cravings start, I'll get my ass out of bed early and come do it again.

    What a cool idea for a doughnut shop! Everything about this place is an experience. From waiting in line like you're waiting on buying concert tickets, to the train whistle they blow when it's your turn and the many types of delicious and oddly named (some not mother approved) doughnuts. Even if you wouldn't normally spend time to stand in a line (sometimes a big line) for a box of doughnuts, I would recommend doing it at least once. They taste great and it's a fun time. I will be coming back.

    Voodoo Doughnut Denver has a slight resemblance to the 'Seinfeld' character 'The Soup Nazi'. Because the store often forms a line, customers are forced to form a line in front of Voodoo Doughnut, eventually entering the front of the store, and being corralled like cattle. That said: Even The Soup Nazi would understand if there was a customer caught between the interior and exterior of his store and realize that the door won't be able to close. During my recent visit, the employees of Voodoo Doughnut were no less yelling at customers constantly to close the door. I realize that Voodoo Doughnut serves food and that a certain level of hygiene needs to be kept. However, Voodoo Doughnut should consider an alternative solution if it's such a problem. Unfortunately that 'self serving' attitude does not clear even after entering Voodoo Doughnut. The employees are generally less than helpful in explaining the variety of doughnuts; like you're supposed to inherently know what a 'Captain my Captain doughnut' is. Sure, one could assume that this is a doughnut covered in Captain Crunch. Even beyond knowing their 'coined' names for doughnuts, the employees seem generally inconvenienced by their own clientele. Voodoo Doughnut is a cash only business. Although it is none of my concern as to the safety of those in and around the store; it does make for a rather inconvenient experience. Yes, Voodoo Doughnut has an ATM onsite, but am I the only one who doesn't like ATM fees? I continue to go to Voodoo Doughnut because they do make a delicious Vegan Doughnut, which is dairy and egg free. Having a little one that has food allergies, being able to let them experience foods that they would have otherwise not known is important to me. All-in-all I think Voodoo Doughnut would be an awesome establishment if the employees showed a little more concern for its customers. Don't treat people like they are second class or that you are doing them a favor, because you're not. Even some of the strongest businesses have fallen for failing to see the needs of their customers. And heck, even our local grocery stores are selling doughnuts that have a strong resemblance to yours, making yours a little less 'special'.

  • David T.

    A line out the door can indicate it's delicious or a poorly ran business. Poorly ran in the fact that it does expand to meet demand... Currently standing in the very long line... We'll see... The "cash only" policy is not customer friendly. The sexual innuendos at various places on the menu should be found in a sleazy night club, not a doughnut shop. But then again it's on Colfax... Okay so the staff are typical hipster snobs. You know, the types who never give a cordial "thank you." The actual doughnuts are pretty good, but not too different than your typical doughnut. Bravo for having brilliant marketing.

    th e donuts are all very cleverly thought up and creative. unfortunately parking is such an inconvience that i won't go again. i parked in the back for 10 and had a BOOT put on my car. Really dude a boot? Colfax is impossible to street park its busy every night of the week. Id rather hit up Donut house in Aurora. Also they only take cash, even though there is an atm in the place, then there are atm fees. The voodoo doll is ways overly frosted and has some kind of raspberry jelly inside. i like vomiting after i ate it. The gay bar is good and so is the mango tango.

  • Zen T.

    I personally don't understand what all the hype is about. I tasted the Voodoo doll, ODB, Portland, and No name. I think as I've gotten older my taste for sweets have declined. I enjoy more the flavorful medium sweetness over the holy shit that was sweet type of deserts. I thought the concept was great. I enjoyed the ambiance and looking at the cock and balls wondering if I could take it. HAH. Didn't get it tho. I'm not a big fan of bavaria cream. As for their raspberry filling - nothing special. I've tasted it before. Although yes the doughnut itself was delicious, I am not entirely impressed. No Name would be the best of the four I tasted. I'd recommend it. It has Rice Krispey treats topped with peanut butter. It was good.

  • Lindy L.

    Short version: Unique toppings, names, and shapes for otherwise standard doughnuts. Long version: I love sweets and am admittedly picky about them, meaning that although I won't turn a doughnut down, it takes a pretty special doughnut for me to be a fan. During my one and only very fast trip to Portland, I saw the blocks-long line for Voodoo. Maybe those lines set my expectations too high; I'd like to think not, but it's possible. Part of me thinks that the lines have the opposite effect on some people; again, I'd like to think not, but it's possible. Another part of me also thinks that it's possible that the altitude has altered the taste of the doughnuts and that the doughnuts are better in Portland and Eugene, which would explain the long lines, but most others seem to love Voodoo Denver, so that's probably not it either. I was pretty happy to find no line for Voodoo Denver one fairly early Sunday morning, 8:30ish. I was surprised to see no seating area and a difficult-to-read sign with no descriptions of the doughnuts. The inadequate signage means that the employees will have to repeatedly explain the doughnuts to customers, which is inefficient and will unnecessarily make lines even longer. Fortunately, the employee we talked with was very friendly and happy to talk with us about the different doughnuts. My boyfriend and I tried the ODB, TCP, maple bacon, and apple fritter. We both liked the ODB best, although the downside to that doughnut is that it borders on too sweet, with chocolate frosting, crushed Oreos, and peanut butter drizzle. The apple fritter had very few apples chunks in it; I didn't finish my half of it. The maple bacon had a generous amount of bacon on it, but cold bacon isn't particularly appealing; I didn't finish my half of this one either. The TCP is a chocolate cake doughnut, with chocolate frosting, topped with Coco Puffs; I polished off my half of this one. Toppings like Coco Puffs, Oreos, Fruit Loops and Captain Crunch seem like toppings that would appeal most to kids, but many of the doughnut names are not kid friendly. I don't really understand the long lines for these toppings, unique doughnut names and shapes aside, which makes me feel kind of curmudgeonly, but I'm mostly okay with that. I won't turn these doughnuts down, but won't be seeking them out either, which means more doughnuts for everyone else. *Cash only. *Official opening day January 15. Until then, open daily at 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. until they sell out.

    It's a donut place. As much as they try to stand out, that pretty much sums it up. The donuts are good, better than you'll find at a supermarket, but there's nothing legendary about them. This is one of those places where you go more for the attitude than for the food, but they really don't deliver much on that front, either. Some of the donuts have risque appearances and names, I guess. If you happen to be in the area when the line is short (it's often out the door for some indiscernible reason), and you have cash in your pocket (the only form of payment they accept), then it might be with stopping by. I wouldn't go out of my way, though.

    Voodoo Doughnut is such a terrific addition to Denver. Being newcomers here, it's fun to have a new hot spot in town that demands attention and patience to wait in a long line... With the blaring issues already having been stated and out of the way (hard to read menus, cash only, long lines), this place rocks. To me, it is a novelty shop. You don't come here everyday for your morning coffee and doughnut. This is the kind of place I want to stop by on a Wednesday afternoon to bring home a surprise for my fiance or the spot where I am no doubt going to take any friends/family visiting from out of town. I consider these businesses novelties and not just a destination, but rather an experience. Have only visited once and just had $4 cash on me. After waiting about 15 minutes or so I was helped by a very friendly young man. I opted for the ODB and Miami Vice doughnuts, total came to $3.85. Hours later when the time was finally right, we poured a big mug of milk, cut the doughnuts into smaller pieces and had at it on the couch. SO GOOD. I have not stopped thinking about either of the delicious morsels from heaven for even a day. We must go back, this time with her so she can get in on the whole experience. So excited to have VD in town :)

  • Krishna P.

    This place is worth the hype to try once or twice, but I wouldn't stand in line on most days for this. I really like the donuts, but they aren't just out of this world like I thought they would be. I was waiting in line with my husband and saw a guy punch another guy in the face because they got into an argument. Too much drama for pastries. I was glad to get out of there. In short, good but not great, exciting but not irreplaceable.

    A doughnut connoisseur I'm not, but I am an admitted Food Network and Travel Channel junkie! So after seeing Voodoo featured a few times over the last few years, of course I had to try it when they opened in Denver! I hate to say it, but I feel like Voodoo doesn't quite live up to the hype. After waiting for over an hour, I didn't have the time or energy to select each doughnut and just went with the Voodoo dozen. Of those, I only tried the Cap'n Crunch doughnut. It was really good, but I was expecting better. Maybe my expectations were inflated, maybe my doughnut palate has been depleted after years of non-use, but next time I'm in need of a sugar fix in that part of town, I'll hold out for a Denver Biscuit cinnamon roll.

    I wanted to love voodoo, was very excited to try it. But Quite honestly I expected more. The donuts are okay, but not the best I've ever eaten by a long shot. The bacon maple glazed one is good, and of all the ones I tried the only one I would get again. But all of the other ones I tried were just too too sweet. Also, they were out of 4 that I tried ordering. I would have been happier if they had just told me everything they were out of from the get go. Not have me pick 4 different things and keep telling me they're out. Overpriced and much better donuts can be found elsewhere in my opinion. Yes, it's unique, and that's cool, but when I'm going to eat donuts, I want them to be amazing, and these are not that.

    I've been here 3 times. And every time the same thing. The girls behind the counter get pissy that I order donuts. It's like, 'Hello, you work in a donut shop. I want donuts. Expect me to order donuts.' The only reason I went there was because it's famous, I didn't wait an hour in line and pay almost 20 bucks to get the stink eye from some girl just because I'm not hipster enough. Jesus, I hate to be that guy but come on, King Soopers sells donuts at a quarter of the price and nobody gives you shit for being a paying customer. My niece, 20, feels the same way every time she goes and she's been to the Portland VDs. The staff needs a serious attitude adjustment or find a job that isn't on the most mainstream street on Colorado, Colfax (if that's their qualm). Either way, they lost a customer. By the way, my niece says that the Portland crew was awesome.

    Good thing they have good donuts because the staff sucks! Couldn't have been any ruder to me and my wife and kids. It's a shame. We were visiting and I've seen the place on one of the cooking shows and wanted to try it. After being treated like that I will never have a nice thing to say about it. I don't give money to establishments who treat me like that.

    I LOVE donuts. This place definitely has more talk than what its worth, and the prices are ridiculously expensive, but it is a fun activity to do with friends from out of the area or on a random free day just for fun. The line can be anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Check out the Tex-ass challenge. The donut is the size of a face and to succeed the entire donuts must be swallowed by the individual within a minute and twenty seconds. Fun stuff.

    Grand opening is planned for 1/15, but I decided to stop in and get my end of year fix during their soft opening. If you can wait 40 minutes, don't be turned away by the lines as they actually do move at a steady pace. Like in my tip, I recommend checking out the menu on their website ( voodoodoughnut.com/dough… ) as the menu at the store is almost impossible to read without 20/15 vision. I was a little bummed out that by the time I got there (11:20am) they were already sold out of the Voodoo Doughnut doll and had no stickers left to purchase, but I was able to get everything else on my list which included a dirt doughnut, an ODB doughnut and of course the maple bacon bar doughnut. That was by far my favorite. I liked the dirt one (white frosting and crumbled oreos on top) alright, but after a while it was a little too sweet for me. The ODB (chocolate frosting with crumbled oreos and peanut butter drizzle) was better, but I guess I'm not that huge of a peanut butter fan. The maple bacon bar (maple frosting with bacon) was doughnut perfection. The combination of savory and sweet was spot on and I definitely devoured that one immediately. Can't wait to return and bring the rest of my crew to try it out. Oh and if you're a beer lover like myself, make sure to get the Rogue Brewery/Voodoo Doughnut Pretzel, Raspberry Chocolate ale to wash it all down with. Delish!

    Hands down the best doughnuts I've ever had! The wait was a little lengthy considering the line was out the door at 9:45 at night. The worst part is finding a parking spot, other than that it is totally worth every moment you wait in line. Prices are very reasonable also!!

  • Chad W.

    Ok, first I have to warn you...Voodoo Doughnut only has on street parking. And I apologize if I'm repeating this but consider yourself warned. My family and I stopped by on a Sunday and after doing two laps around the block decided we'd park in the parking lot in the back. Voodoo doughnuts even puts signs up saying there's only on street parking and that you'd be the wiser to adhere to the rules. We were only in the store for 5 minutes before my wife realized her phone was in the car and she wanted to go back and get it. When she went back to get it there was already a boot on our car. The parking guy was friendly but you could tell he's heard every insult ever thrown at a person. However, it was our fault, $100 parking fine. You can't even fight it because there's multiple signs in the parking lot. We did the math and those doughnuts cost us $11.62 each. Now, I'm not giving Voodoo 3 stars because of this minor infraction. I'm giving Voodoo 3 stars because their doughnuts were just 'ok'. They didn't make anything that I couldn't get at my local King Soopers besides maybe the voodoo doll and the penis shaped doughnut; which I'm in the process of talking King Soopers into carrying those two items. They have a really cool brand and it's new. I really hope they look at a different location.

    Like many others, love the creative names and flavors of the donuts. The BAD... I have been there twice mid-week and both times there was a very slow moving line. They must recruit there cashiers from Walmart because they are so slowwww and not interested in explaining their product. Many of the names given to the donuts are not intuitive to the donuts turning on the display carousel. The staff is aloof and lacks any level of customer service. I visited twice but won't be back.

  • Coke V.

    Meh. I think this place is all hype and everyone is just bought into it. Aside from the stale toppings (cereal, oreos, etc) it's a very basic doughnut. "But the maple bacon bar!" Anyone can throw bacon on something and make it delicious. It takes a lot more to make a doughnut stand on its own and these don't.

  • Mit J.

    Voodoo doughnuts is a great doughnut maker! I highly recommend the voodoo doll, Oreo doughnut, and maple bacon bar! Highly recommended business!!!!!!!!! Must visit when in Portland!!

  • Sarah S.

    The apple fritter is out of control delicious. The maple bars are a close second. I don't care for the bacon on the maple bars; I don't like crunchy business on my soft, melt-in-your-mouth donuts. That being said, the novelty of the Oreo donut was fun, although I don't think I'd order another unless I stumbled in drunk (hello, 24/7 Voodoo Doughnut shop!) The peach fritter would have been a hell of a lot better to me if it wasn't slathered in frosting. That seemed like overkill. The prices were a bit steep, but those apple fritters make it all worth it. I would be a broke fucking blob if I lived near this place because I would pay the prices for a weekly dozen of those fritters. I could go on and on about those things...

    this is one of those places that you have to visit if you're from out of town, even though you know it's probably not going to be that good. i thought i was smart by going at 2am to avoid the line but nope there is most definitely still a line at that hour. the first night (yes, i went two nights in a row, don't judge me) i was pleasantly surprised by the flavors we ordered. as expected, the actual doughnut itself was not that great- tastes like something you can get at any shop. however, the arnold palmer cake doughnut was so good. just the right amount of icing with a little tangy lemon flavor and a slightly subdued tea flavor. the portland creme yeast doughnut was so ridiculously heavy and chocolatey but SO delicious. the toasted coconut cake doughnut had great flavor and texture as well the second night was disappointing -the grape had WAY too much icing on it. i tried to scrape it off but ended up destroying the doughnut instead. the colfax creme was not as good as its portland cousin. the neapolitan had no discerning flavors that indicated it was neapolitan. the cruller was disgusting lol don't ever get that

    I am not a donut person but I gotta say, I'm coming back to this place. Got dragged to this lovely piece of Denver at about 11 at night. There was a very little wait time and the donuts were fantastic. Yes, while cash only is a little bit of a pain, if they accepted credit cards we would all have twice as much debt.;)

  • Mike E.

    This place has good doughnuts... that's about it for the positives. Doughnuts are always good, I am happy to get them anywhere else to avoid the aggravation and stupidity of the process. They intentionally create a line by providing TERRIBLE service. They have many (10+) people on the clock and one person working the register / serving the doughnuts. The other employees are the only ones in the store having a good time laughing, joking and "taking breaks". There were 10 customers in front of me so I figured we would be served quickly... 45 mins later I had my 6 doughnuts - 2 of which were not what I ordered. I have no problem waiting for something because the demand is so high, but this was absolutely ridiculous! I watched 6 people leave the store and 10 people buy doughnuts, I don't see how a business can function like that. I truly hope something is done about this and VooDoo management makes some changes for future customers because they absolutely lost one on Saturday morning... And based on my conversations in line - they lost much more than that!

  • Ed K.

    Not a fan. Service is somewhat cold and unfriendly. Doughnuts are ok but nothing special. Just goofy names and toppings. Price is high and flavor and texture is average at best. Not worth the wait or price. Parking impossible and cash only. The Pink Box is a great marketing tool I'll give them that. I won't be back anytime soon.

  • Lisa L.

    Is it a requirement of Hipster Culture that establishments ensure their own convenience to see how much baloney the public will swallow? Yeah, I went to Voodoo Donuts and instead of waiting, some friends came out with a couple dozen and offered me one. It was more than enough -- I imagine the gutters in that neighborhood are littered with half-eaten grease and sugar bombs. So I looked at their website: no prices, few pictures of the product, endless rambling about how unique and special they are, and notice that they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. I guess those are the days the staff rests and the business doesn't need revenue. I've read several reviews, and it appears that it takes longer to get donuts here than to get drinks at a packed bar anywhere else in Denver. Is that acceptable? We'll see if things change a little in a few months.

    legit doughnuts...if you go at random times you don't have to worry about the line. Always fresh tasting and yummy. Vibe is always good, even when there is a line.

  • Rene M.

    The donuts are good, tasty. Dough itself doesn't stand out unlike some other places (where they are more yeasty). At other places, donuts are really fresh. Here the toppings make the donuts stand out. We did try the maple bacon which is the most distinct and signature. Others are covered in cereal or Oreo cookies, etc. The ranking is due to: Long wait. 45 minutes. Line starts outside and then moves inside half to two thirds of wait is inside. Not really worth the wait. Menu is impossible to read. These monitors mounted on top are too small to read. As newbies to the establishment, it provides little guidance. There are nice display cases showing all the donuts, but they are not labeled. Cost. The donuts are definitely overpriced. A glazed donut costs $1. Most donuts are so much more than that. The maple bacon costs more than $2. Some donuts cost $3-5 each. Lack of service. The people at the counters are just so blah. After waiting for 45 minutes, they make no attempt to be helpful. Not very friendly at all. They very much have a "take it or leave it" attitude - could care less about your business. In the end, the utility or how much you enjoy the donuts is very low. For the price, the wait, the lack of service, these are not that amazing of donuts. You are not eating a piece of high art. Place is overhyped. If you want a quick donut fix, you are better off elsewhere.

    I love Voodoo Doughnut! I went to college in a small city outside of Portland, Oregon and every time we took a trip to Portland (which wasn't often) we always had to stop at Voodoo. When I moved down to Colorado after college, I was missing Voodoo like crazy. When I found out they were looking to open a shop outside of Portland, and picked Denver, I was beyond stoked. My husband and I waited a few months after their grand opening to check out the new shop. We decided to go around 1am on the weekend, thinking it wouldn't be too busy. When we got there we happened to get a parking spot on the street the shop was on (a true score because parking is lacking). The line was out the door, and we waited a good 45-60 min before placing our order, but it was totally worth it. The doughnuts were just as delicious as the ones I got in Portland!! :D

  • Brad M.

    As someone who grew up in the PNW, Voodoo is like the Northwest's best secret. It's Portland's craft brew of choice! Every time I'm in Seattle I try to make it a trip down to Portland, both because I love the city and I have friends there, but because I can pick up one or two of these awesome, delicious works of art. Hell, I became an ordained minister BECAUSE of Voodoo. But holy cow, Batman! Denver's operations is sucking hardcore. I haven't had a donut yet because every time I try it takes me 30 minutes to move 10 feet closer to the door. I love you Voodoo, but please, find someone whose management capabilities extend beyond an Elementary Cafeteria in a one-room school house. Here is a thought: Until the craze dies down, restrict the number of dozens someone can buy. I have seen people carrying out 5-6 boxes. My money says they're reselling somewhere. If you can't do that, have two lines: one for those buying 7 or more, and another for those buying 6 or less. That way those of us who want to grab a couple and run can do so quickly.

  • Tres B.

    Even When Iived in Portland 8 years ago, I thought Voo Doo was over-hyped. It still is. Making donut weirder doesn't make it better. It makes it clever, but not delicious. Frankly, Winchell's is better, just not hipster. Conceptually Voo Doo donuts is fantastic. Taste-wise, its OK.

  • Mitch G.

    Voodoo's doughnuts were definitely worth the wait. These doughnuts rank right up there with the best I've had and blow generic doughnuts out of the water. The maple bacon bar probably took at least 10 minutes off my life expectancy, but I'm totally fine with (and would do it again). And finally, that pink box is probably the best way to incite jealousy in anyone within shouting distance.

    These doughnuts are almost too good. I take that back; they're definitely too good. I've eaten about a thousand of them since this place opened not even a year ago. Highlights are the Mango Tango and the Voodoo Doll.

    I used to travel to Portland weekly for work and would occasionally swing by the original location if I had time in between appointments and a hankering for a unique donut. Needless to say, I was anxious to hit up their first store outside OR. The management of this store has picked up substantially since it was originally opened months ago. It was a total hot mess when it first opened because of the poor service and improperly staffed counter. They created their own line which is what I think their intent was all along. Fast forward a few months to today and they have tasty donuts served quickly enough to not annoy the heck out of their patrons. The flavors are generally old favorites with new spins but I don't think the spins always work. I still like my classic dirt donut (oreo) but outside of that, I can't find another donut on their vast menu that really strikes me as mind blowing. I guess I've seen it done before by this point. I'm happy it's here but I don't think I'll go out of my way like I did when I was in Portland. For me, there are better donuts in town.

    Had to have this as soon as I heard it was coming here! I first heard about this shop from the travel channel's Man vs. Food. I love doughnuts and this place has some pretty great ones! They serve fresh doughnuts all day...I know because my friends one day got their like 3 hour old doughnuts in a bucket, a huge bucket for a deal! Got to try all the flavors :) My favorite would have to be the Miami Vice. I am a huge lover of fruit and fruit flavored sweets. So with the Miami Vice having a berry icing, it was delicious and tasted well made (the frosting) and the doughnut itself was tasty. This place is all about getting a themed doughnut especially their voodoo doll one, which is great for fun! Highly recommended!

  • Tiffany B.

    People who give this place 1 star because of the line are completely nuts. Guys, they JUST opened. Give them a break! Let's rate them on the taste and the customer service. Their donuts are great. The Rice Krispie one is my favorite. The menu is really hard to read (and I have 20/20 vision), so they should increase their font size on those TV screens. But the donuts are great, and the girl who checked us out was super friendly and nice. We are very happy to have them in the neighborhood! Be patient, and drive past at different times of the day (if you can) and I'm sure you'll be able to get in the door. The line moves faster than you think!

  • Cheyne M.

    If you like sugar, eat up. These doughnuts are pretty amazing (probably the best I've had in my life) and their creativity is through the roof. The location is difficult to get to, but I believe Voodoo likes that aspect. It creates scarcity and emphasizes extra effort to get your fix. To me, 4-Stars for a doughnut shop is like 5-Stars at a gourmet restaurant. So, this 4-Star rating is like a 5-Star rating, got it?!? Now shove that Bacon-Maple Doughnut down your gullet and tell your "diet" to go f#ck itself!

    Nice, clean, and unique shop. The customer service I received was very good, everyone working there (and customers) had big smiles on their faces. As soon as I got into my car I tried the Captain Crush donut.....so damn good. If you have a love for donuts, definitely try it out.

  • Austen H.

    So I happened to make a snap choice to go to Voodoo on a day when it wasn't so busy. We waited in line maybe 20 minutes and there were nice people to chit chat with. My husband used to bring these back from portland when he traveled and they are as good as I remember. I am super thrilled they are here. I could eat a voodoo man every day but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the no name. It's worth a small line and I intend on checking out the bucket of day olds to see if they do okay here because of the altitude so we'll see. I'm glad they are here I'm glad that I get to go there. I'll go back I'll take friends...Parking though...BLOWS you can get towed from anywhere around there so be careful and pay your meter

    Holey moley!!! Ok, so some friends and I had dinner at hamburger Mary's and stayed for the drag show later in he evening. We closed it down. I guess we were there until about 1? Well anyways. One of the queens pointed out a box of donuts... She was a big girl and she said she doesn't play with her food! So we decided to check it out after, especially since it was my brothers birthday and we were drunk and it was open all NIGHT!! The blueberry donut was fab. Coco puff donut. OMG AMAZEBALLS! Now the fruit loop donut. OMG!!!!! Some of our other friends were even eating one that apparently tasted like bubble gum! Whaaaat?! Check this place out!! It's cray!!

    So glad you are here!To those who complain about the service...you obviously havent been to the one in Portland...there are ALWAYS lines. And I cant blame them for being a little slower knowing they hired a bunch of ppl from Denver to learn the trade of the "Magic in the Hole". I am actually heading there Wed morning to pick up a couple dozen donuts for my Anythink Library posse so they can all get hooked too!!! Maple Bacon and Memphis Mafia are true delicacies!!!

    While I've never had the in-store experience at Voodoo, I have had the pleasure of consuming their doughnuts. They're straight up amazing. I begrudgingly shared the Oreo covered doughnut with my brother and it's simply brilliant. I have yet to try their maple/bacon bar.... The "dessert" doughnuts are very sweet and good for one; but their cake doughnuts are spot on as well. I particularly enjoy the cinnamon doughnut with a cup of coffee.

  • Colleen O.

    Voodoo Donuts, made famous in Portland for their amazing, weird donuts and for their ridiculously long lines, has arrived in Denver. You can read about that here. It makes sense, seeing how both our states have legalized marijuana. Some of our friends have braved the lines. Some were obsessed with it. Some were underwhelmed. Either way, the place has BUZZ. If you are a Denveririte and haven't been, then you aren't as cool as the Denverirte who has been. Denverirte who has tried a Voodoo Donut > Denverite who hasn't. When we drove past the building -all hazy pink neon light on Colfax- I looked at the line. Keep in mind this was in the middle of a snowstorm. And the line was...not that long! Every other time I'd seen it, it wrapped around THE BLOCK. I'm not exaggerating here. It goes around the block. But tonight, due to the weather, there were only about seven people that were waiting outside the door. Of course, the building was full with a weaving line that reminded me of TSA screening at the airport. We parked and began waiting. A girl who had just gotten her donuts walked past us outside as she took a bite of a Captain Crunch Donut. She moaned loudly and then said "This tastes like my childhood!" After about 10 minutes outside, we finally made it to the inside, which smelled like warmth and heaven and childhood. It was also very pink. A giant voodoo doll dangled from the ceiling. Trippy graphic heart covered an entire wall, along with the Jackie Brown-esque painting that watched over the customers as we waited in the line. It was a cool, weird, Portlandy place. I had read other reviews of Voodoo on Yelp, and the common complaint was that most people didn't know what they wanted when they go to the front. The large monitors behind the cash register had such tiny print that I couldn't even see what types of donuts they had. This wasn't working, so we whipped out Nicoles phone and did our research. Bam! Like bosses. We decided on getting nine donuts between the two of us, so that we could both bring home some to our husbands. Our choices: The Mexican Hot Chocolate The Chocolate Crueller A Peach Fritter A Voodoo Doll Bacon Maple Bar Captain my Captain Old Dirty Bastard Chocolate Penetration (I feel icky even writing that, but that is tame compared to some of the other donut names..) & No Name When we got to the front of the line, we ROCKED it. The service was friendly, but had a fundamental flaw: the cashiers would look at what we ordered on the machine and then go get the single donut. Then they would come back and look at the next donut and then go get it and so on. I couldn't help but think -a printed ticket with all the donuts might help this process out a little. We got our little pink box with donuts and felt very proud of ourselves for being so hip. When we left Voodoo, people cheered for us when we walked out the door. It's that kind of place. We tried our first donut in the car: Mine was the Voodoo doll, that had a pretzel stake coming out it's heart. It was amazing. They describe their donuts as "Raised Yeast", and both Nicole and I agree that the best thing about the donuts is the actual donut part - that yeasty bread part that was warm and fresh. The toppings were just, uh, frosting on the cake. Ba-ddum CHING! In short, Voodoo Donuts was absolutely worth the wait. And my husband has never loved me more than when he woke up Sunday morning to a Bacon Maple Bar waiting for him on the counter.

  • Cris F.

    This is a great little doughnut place. I like the creativity in the doughnuts. I got the voodoo doll man and had the fun ripping him apart as if I was a 5 year old. I found it crazy that the store has been open for three months and there was still a line to the door at 1 in the afternoon. I had no idea that there was such a NEED for doughnuts in Denver. Thanks to other Yelpers though I knew before hand that the accept cash only. But one thing I failed to read which would be a good tip if you are planning on going anytime soon is PARKING!!! can be a pain. My suggestion park on one of the side streets like 3 blocks away and walk. You will need to burn off all the doughnut calories anyway. Voodoo also put up a notice in the window that tow trucks were in the area ready to tow in adjacent lots. So there's that. Overall good. But I think I will wait another 3 months before going back until the line is still half as long and parking is a little better.

    Don't fall for all the negative reviews posted by people who believe their precious lives aren't worthy of sacrificing a few minutes of waiting in line. I went at roughly 10am and waited about 15-20 minutes to get to the counter. Surely there are times where the wait could be longer than that, but that's part of the fun. Take a friend and have some conversation while you wait. If you still can't handle that, get new friends. The doughnuts themselves are creative, fun, and YUMMY. Super delicious and there are so many options that you're bound to find something just right for you. I don't have the biggest sweet tooth, so I can only handle about half of a doughnut in a sitting before I fall victim to a minor food coma. I'm hoping a sugar rush soon follows. Also, the staff was very nice and helpful, they took the time to answer my questions and have comfortable small talk. It's hard to see the prices and names on the doughnut menu, but the counter woman gave me a price on every donut as I asked and managed to understand my made up names for all the donuts that I couldn't manage to read. All in all, I did enjoy my first visit to Voodoo. I couldn't see my self frequenting here, but it's definitely ideal for an occasional sweet snack!

  • Aaron I.

    What is the deal with the hype for this place? You wait in a long line to buy overpriced doughnuts that taste no different than a 0.60 pastry from King Soopers. Was curious initially, but was disappointed in the end. It seems to me people feel "cool" walking down Colfax with a big, pink Voodoo box. Spare me.

  • Tiffany H.

    AMAZING!!! Way better than Krispy Kreme. Each doughnut probably has 5000 calories, but they are worth every bite! Cash only and there will probably be a little bit of a wait. Reasonably priced; you can get a doughnut for a buck.

    After experiencing VD in Portland I was excited to find out that they were expanding to Denver. My diet wasn't happy to hear this but that's a story for another day. As others have mentioned they are in the soft open phase until mid January so you have to keep that in mind as you visit for the next few weeks. I would suggest following their Facebook page for updates on when they will be open and have doughnuts. I was able to limit my line time to 45 minutes this way so it wasn't too painful. The reward was amazing. My maple bacon bar was sweet and salty and every bit as decadent as I remember. I also enjoyed the dirty snowball and a simple cake doughnut with vanilla frosting and sprinkles. I am a sucker for sprinkles!! Very good advice by previous reviewers to check out the menu before you go or on your phone as you are in line because the print on their menu board is ridiculously small. Cash only. Although they do have an ATM onsite for doughnut emergencies. I will be returning as soon as I wake up from my sugar coma.

    Maple Bacon Bar. Do I need to say more? There is usually a line and it's cash only, but they do have an ATM inside. Last time I was there was 2:30am and there was a monster line, but got a dozen and was so pleased with myself in the morning. Line moves quickly, doughnuts are delicious.

    VooDoo finally graces Denver with the goodness of the pink box and the magic in the hole. I attended the soft opening on December 13th and though I waited in line for nearly 3 hours, I got the loveliness that are these magical doughnuts. You just have to try them for yourself. There isn't any real explanation that can be offered. My favorite part? Local sodas in the fountain machine. Local coffee being served (YAY I LOVE NOVO COFFEE!) and friendly staff and prices on par with other doughnut shops but a WAY superior product. Check out Voodoo, you wont be disappointed. Just bring cash, they don't take credit or debit.

    I've been driving by for weeks waiting for a short line. The trick is to get there at 1am where nobody was in line and I walked right up. The donuts were really good, no doubt and I even had the maple with bacon which was surprisingly tasty. I still don't get why people would like to wait in line for so long but like others on yelp, I think I know why. The tv menu screens are tiny and the employees have no sense if urgency.

    Good donuts. Not the best I've ever had, but I enjoyed them. Terrible coffee...so bitter

    First time here and it's really cool. Problem is it's a long line but if you are okay with that then it's all good. Also though it's not the best neighborhood so be careful.

    After waiting 2+HOURS in line and absorbing the Voodoo sexualized hype, I sucked it all in and was anticipating a most satisfying and extremely sensual donut experience. (almost left several times yet stuck it out to enjoy the full monty so-to-speak) After it was over and the sheets went in the wash, my overall opinion of the taste of the offerings here is a limp 2.5 stars-a most anti-climactic liaison...is that IT?! (to be kind, and for the show, I rounded this review up to 3) Don't get me wrong, the donuts are ok but nothing special-seriously I don't see what the fuss is about here. I shared my haul with a few friends who all wondered "WHY would you wait in LINE for THESE?!!" (keep in mind there was not one marijuana enthusiast in the group) After waiting that long to obtain said donuts I was secretly hoping my temporarily sticky and satiated mood would linger, however naught. The worst part was with over 100 people lined up outside they had 2 inexperienced girls serving customers. Yep-TWO, there were several other staffers milling about yet seemingly ignoring the increasing swell of the sweaty, donut-hungry mob. Bottom line-it took FOREVER for each customer, so plan accordingly if you have anywhere to be-like a job. Also bring binoculars--as the not-really-description boards are Barbie-sized and so far from where they are having people wait that not one of us could read them in advance--resulting in more explaining from the counter girls who had to go look up EVERY flavor ONE by ONE. No joke-and each customer was buying at least a dozen-if not several so...do the math, wait your turn and try to sustain your excitement. Finally I purchased several flavors including the M&M//Marshall Mathers $1.50(ok-very sweet), Chocolate Coconut$1.10(good-not overly sweet), Raspberry Powdered $1.90(good), Chocolate Dipped Cruller$1.35(my favorite of the bunch), Chocolate Raised(meh-skip), the Grape Ape $1.75(yuk BUT if you love grape bubble gum-get it) and the "piece de resistance"....the Cock n'Balls donut weighing in@$5.70! (cock blocked--it was semi-erect and all smushed by the clerk putting other donuts on top of it, WtH? retail 101) For nearly six bucks I would like my Cock n'Balls to have its own um...pink box! It was creme filled-but it all tasted just like grocery-store bought, so depending on your level of desperation you may want to pass on that mess. VD wants to project "fun" (obviously easier when under the influence of something) and now that Denver has legal pot-many will enjoy this one stop East Colfax shopping strip. Tattoos, donuts, pot and skateboards in whichever order suits you. This now Voodoo filled area is enjoying a much needed increase in activity with varying lines daily-and Voodoos hours soon to be swelling to 24/7. Oh my. Living just west of this location, I am happy Voodoo has chosen to open up and offer her pink box to everyone in Denver. (no slut-shaming intended). Not to mention the enticing "now-baking" donut aroma that now wafts through the hood is an added calorie, sugar, gluten-FREE bonus. I imagine Voodoo will be a tourist destination for many years, not unlike our other girly PINK treasure/landmark...Casa Bonita! Look for the pink building, pink neon and enjoy mediocre donuts in pink boxes for all!! (as for me, did it-no need to repeat a one-night stand) I was recently informed that they actually make "doughnuts not donuts", got that? Oh and don't forget..."cash only man".

    Okay, let's get the standard complaints out of the way. The line. Yes, it's long. Yes, it seems kind of arbitrary. Yes, it's insane to wait in line for doughnuts. But that's kind of the fun. Talk with your friends, stop at the bar next door, be in the moment. It's part of the experience, and I don't think it's going away anytime soon. The service. The workers don't really have any sense of urgency. They see that line, and know it's never ending, so why speed up? Okay. I wish she would have explained a little more to me, because I got my half a dozen in a white bag, not a pretty pink box, and I don't know why. The not so standard complaints: The lack of credit cards accepted. I'm sorry, but really? This one I wasn't expecting. And it's not widely advertised until you get almost to the front of the line and see the ATM. Nice that they have a sign to explain that the ATM is super slow, but still. It should be loud and clear on the outside of their store, not in tiny print at their registers. And by the way, why be cash only? That seems so beyond silly to me. Menu signs. Impossible to read. I was squinting and could only make out half the words. And come on. If you use digital signs, you can't update them as you run out of things? Two of the types I wanted were out, forcing me to take longer at the counter to decide on my two substitutions. If you want faster lines, work on efficiency with your menu. Now for the positives! Concept is by far amazing, I love it. Well made doughnuts, good size for the price. I got an assortment of 6, and paid $10! That's not bad. Way better than your average grocery store doughnut in taste and a pretty good value overall. While there wasn't a sense of urgency, the employees were still pretty friendly. I got the butterfinger, the loop, the captain crunch, a maple bar, coco puffs, and the custard filled one. All pretty amazing, I by far and away absolutely LOVED the coco puff one. Seriously. Awesome. So, overall, go at least once. Go with a friend, gab while you're in line, and try a variety. It's an experience you should try, but not one that you have to have once a week. Be prepared for a giant sugar rush, and enjoy!

    While the donuts were great; their are plenty of other factors that play into the voodoo experience; service, time in line, price, etc... The price was great- 14$ for a dozen donuts, but the cashier was not friendly-red haired girl and we stood in line for roughly 25 minutes to order. Great location. Great variety.

  • Joanna L.

    This place has some funky cool doughnuts on the menu, unfortunately I like my doughnuts simple and these are just sweet and sugary. I tried one of the simpler jelly filled ones and it was nothing to write home about. Honestly, I like the ones at 711 better. My boyfriend liked his (the voodoo doll one), but didn't think it was anything special. The place has a cool vibe, but the chic who helped us was kind of flaky. The atmosphere is cute and funky and the place smells heavenly, but I don't want to wait in line again. It's a novelty place to hit once and only go back when out of town guests visit.

    I got VD in Portland. Now I'm also glad to have received VD in Denver. So many other fans here, I'll make my review short and sweeeet: Cash only, expect to wait in line, bring your glasses to read the menu boards. The doughnuts are fantastic, and I exuberantly recommend any of the fritters (my personal favorite is the peach). My only complaint is that the store is poorly laid out to handle the amount of traffic they KNEW they would have.

    Dirty Snowballs, Cock n Balls, And The Old Dirty Bastard. With names like these how can you not be at least a little curious what they might taste like! :D Finally, Voodoo Doughnuts has started to open their doors! Still a soft opening until January their hours will be sporadic, so check their Facebook to see when they will be opening for the day. Once Voodoo has their grand opening you can look forward to 24 hours worth of the most decadent doughnuts! Is it crazy that one of the reasons I moved to Denver was because of Voodoo Doughnuts?? It's true! Lol! My BF saw they were opening at 5pm on his day off. We made sure to get there early to secure our spot. We heard through the grape vine that the day before many people left without tasting their "Cock n Balls" and were really sad! Lol! We were determined not to have the same unhappy ending. Only happy endings here please ;) We got there an hour before they were set to open and got a prime spot! Sixth in line!!!!!! Those treats were going to be ours! ***Here are some highs and lows*** *Highs -Fun, attractive store front! -Those doughnuts are worth the trip :) -Most employees are friendly ex. Guy who opens doors with a celebration of streamers! That's what I expect coming here, kooky fun people. *Lows -They opened about twenty minutes after they were supposed to open. I almost got frost bite on my toes! -The young cashier was a little rude. He wouldn't change out a doughnut after we decided we didn't want it. All he said was "you asked for it". I know it was busy, but really??? I did enjoy my treats entirely despite our semi bad experience service wise. The doughnuts were what saved this trip! I was surprised my BF didn't freak out at the guy for what was said but I think even my man couldn't wait to get them home that he let it slide. However, this is supposed to be a fun place. They should have fun positive people to service their new excited clientele. We will see next time! Until then I am a fan!

    The doughnuts are slightly above Kings Supper supermarket donuts, but the bitterness behind the counter tends to piss me off EVERY TIME I go through the hassle, (parking, paying to park, waiting in line, making sure I have cash), just to patronize this exploiter of fried delisciousness. Its amazing how the delightful wait staff treats each customer like a needy, destitute vagrant at a four star soup kitchen. Verdict: doughnuts - good, want-to-be hipster-but-should-remember-they-still-just-work-­at-a-donut-counter wait staff - rude and ungrateful. They should remember it's the product that's popular; not you.

    Despite my protests after the long line I endured on my last visit, the wife insisted we grab some donuts on our way home last Friday. I am thrilled to report that this awesome little doughnut shop is pulling their act together, and the wait was not an issue at all. Good job, hipsters!

    First time trying the place and really excited! That died a expensive and painful death. Basically five spots in front for the whole block of stores not just them. No support for parking else where. We parked in a closed business car shop on Sunday with other cars parking lot. We were gone less than 20 minutes! Walked back and car gone! Tow cost $281.00 cash or had to walk to tow company for credit card. Yes we got a receipt! Four donuts were not that remarkable unfortunately. They need to move to better location. Nope we will not be back or supportive. I would have selected a no star if I could have.

    1.- the ATM machine is out of service most of the time 2.- Nasty attitudes from the employees the counter, meaning horrendous customer service. 3.- over priced 4.- lines are too long just to get donuts. Reminds me of Krispy Kreme of over a decade ago. It's a fad for the sheep.

    I've wanted to try VooDoo donuts ever since they opened a store in Denver. My first experience with them was trying the VooDoo Maple Bacon Doughnut Beer. In retrospect, this beer could have been my first red flag that the donuts were overrated, but I digress. The line at VooDoo is frequently out the door and down the block at any given time of day, so we waltzed down the street early on a Sunday morning to finally get a taste of these nationally acclaimed donuts. The menu is split by types of donuts - raised yeast, cake-like and classic. Other than these basic identifiers, I found it extremely difficult to figure out what the heck flavor of doughnut they offered (i.e., the names of the doughnuts often did not depict the flavor or type and there were no visible descriptions on the menu). Given the short line that early on a Sunday, we asked the cashier to give us the three most popular doughnuts since we were having a hard time making an informed decision. We walked the doughnuts home with great anticipation... and were ultimately disappointed. I couldn't even tell you what all we had - one was shaped like a ghost and was jelly filled, one was called Dirty Old Man that had chocolate icing topped with oreos and peanut butter, and the other was maple bacon. All three were overly sugary and just way too over the top. I liked the jelly-filled ghost one best but was unable to finish it because it was just too sweet. I'm glad I tried them, but I won't be going back. Truth be told, I can't say I'm surprised they were not as good as all the hype makes them out to be.

    Waited in line for an hour and 20 mins, but it was nice outside and totally worth it. We got 10 doughnuts to split between 2 people (as you wait in line you want more and more and end up getting a whole box) and holy batman they are good. We got Bacon Maple, captain my captain, dirt doughnut, the loop, the neapolitan, Mexican hot chocolate, the old fashion, voodoo doll, tangfastic and the Old Dirty Bastard. Do it.

    We stopped in to Voodoo Doughnuts coincidentally on National Doughnut Day! The line was out the door, which seems to be the norm. We had looked on their website before we went so we would know which doughnut to get. The selection can be overwhelming if you're not sure what you want. I got the Memphis Mafia which is a banana fritter topped with peanut butter. The fritter was good, but I could barely taste the banana. Overall, a great spot for a unique doughnut experience.

    As much as I've heard about this place, I was expecting to be wowed. I was not wowed, not even a little bit. First of all, we went there at 2am, and there was still a line out the door. Which isn't really their fault, it just means they're popular. I wouldn't have a problem with waiting almost an hour to order donuts, if the donuts were worthy of waiting an hour for. They really weren't though. Don't get me wrong, I didn't throw my donut away in disgust. It was ok. I ate it and I was glad to have eaten it ( I mean come on, it was 2am on a Saturday night. ANY donut would have done at that point), but I woill never stand in line for that long for such a mediocre display of donutry(not a word) ever again. Oh yeah, and they only take cash. Atleast the guy that helped us was nice. He was very enthusiastic about each donut we chose for our dozen, which was highly entertaining.

  • Shelby E.

    I was excited that Voodoo Donuts was coming to Denver! I had never tried their donuts but had seen marvelous reviews on TV shows like Man vs. Food, Andrew Zimmern, etc. Unfortunately, I was left feeling let down by the exaggerated hype. First of all, the lines are ridiculous. I've driven by several times and there is always a continuous line outside the door. Second, the menu is impossible to read. Bring your phone and look at the menu ahead of time so you know what donuts they offer. Third, the staff is friendly but absurdly slow. I ordered a dozen donuts and stood there for a good 15 minutes while the guy behind the counter slowly filled the box with donuts while chatting with his coworkers. Fourth, the price is per donut and getting the specialty donuts can really add up. Fifth, I LOVE any and all sugar products but these donuts were too sweet. I'm surprised I didn't end up in a sugar-induced coma after eating one donut. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this establishment because the donuts are nothing more than overpriced, over-sugared pieces of deep fried dough. Save your money and get donuts from your local grocer; it'll save you time, frustration, and money.

  • Allie S.

    Braved the wait out of curiosity. Took one star off because of the disorganized system for paying...Only takes cash, have few cashiers and they took their sweet time!! Otherwise the donuts were delicious! Tried four different ones and loved them all. Both yeasted and cake donuts tasted good. Definitely five stars if the store management gets its act together.

    (4)

  • Stephen M.

    We've been here a couple of times and overall I've been happy enough with the decision. The lines are pretty ridiculous and it really doesn't have anything to do w/ an excess amount of demand. It has more to do with the most elementary service delivery you'll ever see. I'm pretty sure VooDoo intentionally delivers their painfully slow service so that there's always a line out the door but I wouldn't recommend it unless you really think picking up a dozen donuts is going to better your life. I'm a huge fan of coconut and I will say the vanilla coconut is delicious. The butterfinger one is great as well. Also, we did get the Cock and Balls donut for our friend because we're mature and thought it would be funny. It ended up being very funny and I do recommend getting that for any friend of yours that might get a little embarrassed by that type of donut.

  • Aldo P.

    I had heard of Voodoo doughnuts from several friends and coworkers, so I finally had to go and see what all the hype wall all about. After waiting in line for a while, I really was impressed by the variety of doughnuts that they had and the theme was pretty cool. Once I actually got to try the doughnuts, I would say that they were good, but did not stand out from other doughnuts that I've had at other places. I would have given it a 3.5 out of 5, but could only do full stars, so I rounded up to 4 since the experience and theme are different than the average doughnut shop. Also, the doughnuts are pretty pricey, but I guess that is expected when you go to a "hipster" place near downtown. I would definitely go back if I am with a crowd that is going there, but I would not go out of my way to come back.

    I have heard about this place since moving to the area. I finally went and was not impressed. It's all hype and no substance. putting a bunch of toppings on a doughnut doesn't make it any better. The selections are nothing more than lipstick on a pig.

  • Beth S.

    I've been waiting to go here ever since I moved downtown almost a year ago. I've driven past it but there is usually a line out the door. Today I lucked out and got parking right outside and the line was short. I don't know why people are saying these doughnuts are expensive!! We got a voodoo dozen plus two for about $17.00. If you want a 25¢ cup of coffee and a 10¢ doughnut - get a time machine please. We got these as a token of appreciation for the staff in our building and also two for ourselves. They looked so special and tasted great. It was like having my own little cake for desert. If I lived within walking distance I would probably go here every day. Loved this place and the staff was very friendly. Go if you can :)

    7-11 has better donuts and less of a wait. Big whoop if they put bacon on their donuts. I've been doing that for years in my own kitchen.

    (2)

  • M P.

    Meh. The question is, are the donuts THAT much better than what you can get at Safeway, King Soopers, or some other place? The answer is no, not really. The place is worth trying once just for the experience, but that's it. I got the Butterfinger donut and the Oreo Donut. Scarfed the Butterfinger one down (which was actually quite good), but only got halfway through the Oreo one before I felt numb and didn't want to move. So anyway, try it out... you probably won't need to ever go back.

    Don't be fooled by my size. I've eaten a lot of donuts in my lifetime. The flavors are new, fun and TASTY!!! These live up to the hype and are worth standing in line for.

  • Sean M.

    I'm sure by now everyone has heard of the novelty donuts at Voodoo Donuts. Creative and fun? Sure. But are they any better than the donuts found at Dunkin' Donuts, Lamar's, and even King Soopers? Not really. Then again, I highly doubt the taste is what all the rave's about. If you're hankering for a donut adorned with bacon or Fruit Loops; or for one that is phallic-shaped, then Voodoo is the place. You'll be waiting in line a little while depending on the time of day. But if you're in the mood for a classic donut (not to mention a place that takes credit cards), go for Lamar's.

    (2)

  • Kayla S.

    Quite a vast variety of donuts to choose from! Wonderfully delicious! Though they ONLY accept cash, quite inconvenient. Not sure if it's worth the hours & a half wait for donuts that cost up to $6 each..

    (4)

  • Sara L.

    Yes, I'm a fan for sure. I don't often indulge in such savory sweets but if I'm in the mood, voodoo is definitely a great option. The Maple Bacon Doughnut is by my favorite, but all of their options are exceptional and unique. They're also incredibly inexpensive considering their popularity, its always a lovely surprise to get a few and have it only cost a few dollars!

  • Brice S.

    Doughnuts are good...not worth the wait, but no doubt they are tasty. Feels a little bit like you are in a Seinfeld "soup Nazi" episode where you should be grateful for the opportunity to buy an expensive doughnut and deal with hipster customer service. my biggest gripe is the parking...beware...don't park behind the store or you will receive a $100 boot on your car that requires you to haggle with a fishy parking lot attendant and pull out cash to have the boot removed. We had a bad experience on July 3...day before a long holiday weekend where there were plenty of parking spots available. Sure, some might say we should have rad the signs that were posted. But we didn't and were frustrated by the cost of the doughnuts and the extra cost of the boot on our car.

  • JD T.

    Sooooo....the line sucks. But whatever. It's a cultural phenomenon. Also.....the coffee sucks....but it's a donut shop. The decor is cool and the menu has a nice smart-ass tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. The Pam Grier velvet painting is odd but not out of place and the pink boxes are fun. I think you would expect all of this from a Portland donut shop on Colfax next to one of the hippest tattoo salons in Denver. I selected an ODB. It has to be one of the best donuts I have ever eaten. Holy crap. Well played. Super soft and just melty sweet raised yeast packed with oreos chocolate and peanut butter glaze. You.....bastards.... The service isn't awful. There was one guy in there with a big burly beard who was KILLING it. He was rapping to the patrons about whatever they brought up and slinging donuts like a smiling beardo RoboCop. I didn't get that guy though. I got the disaffected son of Rivers Cuomo and the Monopoly guy. Screw it. Next time I'm in Denver I will get a maple bacon bar. And even if some twenty something fresh out of SXSW could give a rats ass if I'm happy, I will be happy.

  • Amy W.

    Yes, the doughnuts are delicious and there are so many varieties that you almost need the time in line to decide. Luckily we only spent about 15 or so minutes in line because we went around 10 on a Thursday night. BUT I took away two stars because of cash only (REALLY? This is 2014; almost everyone accepts credit cards...EXCEPT Voodoo, apparently), the complete lack of parking that's not at least two blocks away, and the inexplicably tiny, barely readable menus that are mounted near the ceiling. So in other words, phenomenal doughnuts, but A LOT of things could be improved upon.

  • Miss M.

    This is one of those places that you want to go for the fun of it when your on an adventure. The line is always out the door. We waited about 45 minutes. Once you get inside they play hip hop music which is cool for the younger folks and breaks up time. There are so many choices that you literally stare the whole time your in line and when you get to the counter it's still hard to say what you want. We only picked two the crushed Oreo and captain crunch doughnut. They are pretty big and they will pack them in a pretty pink box so you can walk out proud that you have been here! Once we got back in the car we were proud we took the chance. We all took a bite and they were extremely, extremely sweet. A little too much for us but we got home and each took another bite. We all concluded it was really cool to go there, they were too sweet for us, and we probably won't go back. But there are others who can handle it and will love them and that's ok too. I have to say the staff in place at this location rocks. They are serving a huge crowd and have patience with everyone and make them feel like it's ok that your confused. They really get it done there for being open 24 hours a day.

    I have been here a few times and while I love the atmosphere, I would have to say that the donuts are just ok. Their cake donuts are better than the raised yeast ones. Those are just too chewy.

  • Elizabeth O.

    So I decided to give into the hype and try the VooDoo doughnuts. The toppings were crazy and very different, but were so overpowering I could hardly tell I was eating a doughnut, which might be the point. It wasn't that they were not good, I just think these are not my thing. I grew up with only the "hot now" kind of doughnuts with not many toppings. I do say I really liked the vegan apple fritter, but that isn't really a doughnut, is it?

    (3)

  • Double S.

    Queue up and wait. And wait. Did I tell you about the wait? It is donuts. But wait, you say, "They have toppings on their donuts!!" "They put the bacons on their donuts!!" Ok, fine. So does King Soopers now too! I am not going to pretend that other donut shops are as unique as this. I won't even say they are close to being as cool. But at the end of it all, it is a donut, that you stood 30-60 minutes in line for. Opportunity cost people. That donut really cost you about $30-40 . Stop the madness. 1 star for good donut. 1 star for the look.

  • Krista R.

    with all the hype of this place I had to visit it myself. bear in mind I only get donuts maybe 1-2 times a year, so it's not a big thing for me. we went around noon on a Sunday; the line was out the door and down the street. left with our pink box at about 1:30pm. seriously a long time to wait for donuts! but it was kinda fun to see all the curious people in their cars.... "what's going on?" "just waiting for donuts" "donuts....?" anyway, it was a semi-fun experience. if the weather had been any colder I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be worth it. the menus inside were super hard to read & I heard others saying the same thing. I had to search out their online menu while in line to actually know what the donuts were. if voodoo added maybe a few seats or benches along the way, a bigger & easier to read menu (or little handout menus at the door to carry along the wait), and maybe some of those portable heaters for outdoor lines in the cold I think it would be a much better experience. but the donuts were pretty tasty! :) no complaints there.

    I love this place. They have everything from a plain glazed, Mexican chocolate, a captain crunch bar, etc. Definitely a place to get your munchies on. Bring your friends and an appetite. This is a cash only place, but there is an atm on site.

  • Vince W.

    This place got some bad reviews and most of those we're bashing the wait time. IT WAS A LONG WAIT BECAUSE THE CUSTOMERS ARE IDIOTS. NOT THE EMPLOYEES. Yes there is going to be a wait when you go, but that's because it's VOODOO DOUGHNUTS!! What do you expect? You could help move the line along if you make up your mind prior to getting to the register. You're going to have at least 5 minutes to figure it out, don't wait until you get to the register and ask what EVERY SINGLE doughnut is in the display case!! LOOK AT THE MENU!! IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!! Anyway, I loved it! The doughnuts were great and the service was just fine. Unfortunately I only remember the name of 1 doughnut I got and it wasn't even my favorite. Still outstanding though. That one was the Old Dirty Bastard. Check the pics.

    I am giving this four stars because of the novelty of the shop. Cute name, cute concept. I had always wanted to try it after seeing it on the telly. The line was reasonable, the menu was confusing, and the service was lackluster. If I remember correctly, it was cash only. The donuts were good, and my kids loved picking them out. They were good but over the top sweet. I really wanted a t- shirt but didn't want to spend all of my cash. Would I go back? Of course! Things to work on? Service (makes or breaks an experience ) and please.... Take credit cards...kind of the wave of the future!

    Amazing! Delicious! Highly recommend the ODB and the Colfax cream! Totally worth the long line. Also, the interior is very snazzy and fun.

    I don't get the appeal of this place. 1 star for trying to be creative but they're just placing "fancy" toppings on a regular donut. I too can place cereal on a doughnut and bam culinary genius?? I don't think so. And two stars for service and price. The front counter personnel were all friendly and helpful. Their doughnuts aren't ridiculously priced. Because of the long lines and cash only policy this place isn't worth a second stop. Also if you're going to be a cash only establishment at least have a working atm. People seem to like this place so it'll probably be around for awhile.

    Warning: Cash only!! And parking is a big pain! Donuts are good and fun to pick out. The bacon topped one is delicious! I haven't had the rude employee device which is good and I think that makes all the difference. Rude employees=bad donuts. I've been twice. Stood in line for an hour the first time and about 15 minutes the second time. Will definitely go back if I am in the area.

    The donuts are to sweet.I know that's the point of enjoying it but it's too much sugar!!

    Omg it was decadent. Completely surprised by the maple bacon, the bacon compliments the maple so well. Matt's chocolate filled donut was filled to the brim and Gracies vegan Oreo donut couldn't have any more Oreos if they tried. Flakey, fresh, and fantastic! Get there early we waited about 15 min but after we left the line was out the door.

  • Jordan N.

    Amazing!! The wait was definitely long. We waited an hour on a Saturday morning, but I'd say it was worth it for the donuts. the donuts were delicious and creative. I explained to the cashier that I had a dairy allergy and he helped me find a vegan choice that was delicious. The only downside is that it's cash only, but it's definitely worth hitting up an atm for a delicious donut!

    Complete lack of regard for the customer!!! I talked this place up to my roommate because the doughnuts themselves are delicious. However, the workers there haven't even an ounce of work ethic. We waited 20 minutes to be helped, despite there only being one group of four in front of us. Finally we get to the counter and this is when the 19 year old "shift manager" tells us she is sending the cashier on break and the register was closed. We ask her what we are suppose to do and she gives us a condescending look and tell us any other register. Keep in mind they had four other girls behind the counter all goofing off, chatting to each other, and on their phones. Not a single one of them hails us to let us know they could help us nor did the manager. We make our way down to the far end of the counter where the other girl gives us attitude about ordering milk. We called management the next day and the general manager seemed unsympathetic and didnt even offer us an apology nor a refund/coupon. Overall this place is staffed by a bunch of immature girls who have not a single clue about customer service. Oh and they only accept cash. Pretty disappointing for an established chain.

    I typically don't eat sweets and these are the best donuts I've ever had... That should say something. The lines and hype are worth the wait! The best time to come is after midnight for no wait and ease of parking. Make sure you have cash on hand as it's cash only and when we were there the ATM inside wasn't working. The staff was extremely helpful and polite. No complaints and while you wait there are plenty of catchy signs around to keep you entertained. The signs and posted menu aren't as small as one yelper commented (smaller than an eye chart). The best deal is the voodoo dozen and it will take the guessing out of ordering (menu is available online). I'm not sure how people haven't figured that out but are creating reviews from their phones. All in all worth penny. This place is worth coming to for the experience! My husband's version thanking his son for introducing him to Voodoo: Seriously. They are deceitful little pieces of dough. You look and there's those ones that don't have frosting or cereal or candy and you're like "why would I eat one of you boring doughnuts? At some point, this doughnut Mecca will be ripped from my hands and sadness will ensue." So you grab that Boston Cream filled one. Well you don't know that at the time. All you know is that it's covered in chocolaty wonder with two white dots. "Eat me, I'm the perfect balance of sweet and fulfillment." Then you take your first bite and the chef in you instantly wonders:"how did they make a doughnut 5 times sweeter than if I had just eaten sugar??? What miracle substance brings such happiness to this 40 year old?" Then it hits you: crack. There's no other explanation other than crack cocaine. Then you realize, the doughnut is probably going to cause me to lose my job because surely I will become a slave to this wonderful concoction filled with sugar, crack cocaine, and now, all the success of my future. But that's ok. It was worth it for that 3 minutes of culinary bliss, that was a voodoo doughnut. Thank you son for starting me on this journey. I hope you will still be proud when I'm homeless in Santa Fe, begging for doughnuts on the street corner surrounded by hippies and vegans....

    Do NOT be deceived by the haters. These donuts are out of this world. Fresh as can be, not too sweet (of course they are sweet, just not sick to your stomach over sweet), good balance of dough to frosting and not as expensive as I expected. There will be a line. Expect 20-30 minutes from the door to when you are next in line. But oh that glorious moment when you are next! They have 3-4 registers running so you don't feel like you have to hurry up for all the poor schleps behind you. As everyone has said, the signs leave a lot to be desired. You can't even see them from the register, but the cashiers seem friendly and helpful. Love the variety of people waiting in line for the best donut in the world: meth heads, pastors, teenagers, families with babies. It's awesome- everyone loves donuts it seems.... I don't love the voodoo/witchy theme and I wish they had a white cream (not Bavarian!) filled variety, but other than that- worth the wait!

    If you go during off-peak hours, you will enjoy some one of a kind donuts that are unmatched in taste and fun. Go during peak hours and the line slightly starts to deteriorate the pleasure of your visit.

    Tasty donuts and interesting concept but poorly managed and they need to rethink their process. Stunning to me that the owners seem to ignore clear and obvious ways to improve their business after negative feedback from their customers. But hey--as long as you stay busy--who cares, right? Overall, I recommend giving it a try for the experience but I won't be coming back unless service improves. If I want to wait in 50 minute lines, I'll go to Disneyland.

    I have been hearing about this place for years on TV about how good the doughnuts were so when I heard thy had a shop in Denver I had to go. I went today for a dessert on my anniversary and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN EVERYTHING THIS SHOP OFFERED!!!! I went into the shop and pretty much knew what I wanted but the girl at the cash register said to order from her when i was ready while not looking up at me, folding boxes (which they were not busy at all so no need for the lack of customer service)....... I order 3 doughnut and at $4.00 which was ok. I order the voodoo doughnut, a french cruller cake style, and a blunt doughnut. When I ordered the girl lack expression and looked down folding her box so no positive reflection there! When I tried the doughnuts when i got home I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE TASTE!!! NOT SWEET! NOT FLUFFY! NOT DELICIOUS! Tasted old and stale. The doughnuts were not sweet, dry, thick and somewhat bready. I am so displeased with the taste I threw the doughnuts away after one bite of each. The doughnuts also tasted as id they had been sitting out in the air allllll day long. I CAN HONESTLY SAY A KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN VOODOO DOUGHNUTS!! I wanted to love this place but I will never been going back due to the lack of flavor on their specialty items doughnuts! i HAVE WORKED AT A BAKERY FOR YEARS AND HAVE NEVER TASTED A DOUGHNUT SO BAD! ........................... 7-ELEVEN DOUGHNUTS TASTE BETTER UNFORTUNATELY TOTALLY LET DOWN FROM VOODOO DOUGHNUTS IN DENVER!

    Maybe the best donuts in Denver, but far from the best donuts I ever had. Denver is not known for its donut mastery as a whole, unless there is some other place I don't know about that is making even passable donuts. Most Denver donut shops are sort of pathetic. This one is better in comparison to the total lack of anything else. Stuff I liked: The donuts. They are acceptable. Stuff I disliked: A) The ultra-super-mega-hipster staff with their slouchy hats, skin tight pants, lack of social skills, and minimal work ethic. One girl behind the counter carried around her bovine cud (I mean green shake) in a glass jar everywhere she went and was constantly sipping on it rather than, say, working. She also made about 12 trips to the donut racks for each customer rather than taking the box back and filling it once. Not very hygienic, not very smart, and not a very good employee considering the line was out the door. She was but one example... B) The line. C) The displays on the television screens that advertise their donuts are in no way related to the way the donuts are listed on the cash registers. The result of this oversight is that when you inevitably point to a donut on the screen and ask about it, the staff have to crane their neck and see what it is you are asking about because they have no idea what that corresponds to on their register. Very lame and a waste of everyone's time. Don't have a sign if the information on it is useless. D) The line.

    Had these doughnuts on three separate occasions because visitors want to see what the excitement is about. I've tried the following: grape ape diablos rex dirt marshall mathers old dirty bastard mexican hot chocolate the loop doughnut bacon maple bar Each experience has been consistent: - line takes about 20-30 minutes - staff doesn't seem to care about customers - over priced - doughnuts that really aren't even decent You are paying for a marketing gimmick and that's how they rope people in. Here's how the thought process goes: 1. Wow, constantly long line, must be good! 2. Well, I waited for half an hour, guess I better buy a dozen and some crazy ones ($20) for doughnuts!! Jeebuz!! 3. Dang this place is VERY inefficient, why are the employees moving slow as molasses to fill my order? 4. Oh, that's what makes the line stay out the door... this must be on purpose!! 5. YAY, let's taste these doughnuts!!! 6. I feel like I just got scammed because these doughnuts taste nasty :-( 7. I'm never coming back!! 8. Overzealous friend convinces you to go back.... and the process starts again... Note: Don't be fooled by toppings that would normally be crunchy (fruit loops, dirt, old dirty bastard, etc...). After sitting on frosting a few hours, the topping actually becomes stale and almost soggy. I would recommend going to safeway buying a dozen doughnuts and several boxes of cereal/toppings to sprinkle on yourself. You'll get better tasting doughnuts and probably save yourself some money and time. Another alternative is Krispy Kreme which beats this place hands down any day of the week.

    This place definitely lived up to the hype. Fun atmosphere and the donuts are freaking delicious. I honestly don't mind paying $16 for a dozen because it's a special occasion and I usually only go down there once a month or so also great service

    Yeah mon. The best doughnuts in town next to Lamar's. Many regular and erotic options to choose from. Hate those long lines sometimes, but well worth the wait. So no curse for this fan ;) Oh yeah, CASH ONLY my friends...

  • Chris P.

    Dude....I mean...wow. I'm from Atlanta and we have Sublime donuts which are amazing, but this if those are 1A these are 1B! The yeast donuts are thick and dense and soft! I got the Old Dirty Bastard and the Portland donut. You can't go wrong. Long lines so be prepared to wait 15mins but it's so worth it. Come on in!

    I had been wanting to go to Voodoo doughnut for ages and I certainly wasn't disappointed! Best doughnut's I have had in my life! The staff was friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the facilities are very clean. This will be my first stop next time I go to calorado!

    Cash only and street parking. Open 24/7 except some holidays. Lines around block at times but when I went it was less than 45 minutes. Mango tango was pretty good awesome with nice cold milk. Customer service was pleasant.

    Was in Keystone for a quarterly sales conference, we got out of our meeting early our last day and my flight didn't leave until 5 so I had to drop in. Walking up to the door the aroma of fresh sugary goodness filled my nose holes as I opened the door I knew I was in heaven. I approached the counter, greeted by a friendly bearded Denver-ian...Denver-ite... Denver...guy. I asked what his favorite was "ah man there are so many good ones I don't have just one but if I had to choose, I'd say the bacon bars"... Me: "Give me two of those!" Since I knew there was probably a slim chance that I would ever come back ooor if I did, it would be a while I went all out and got a bunch. Just to name a few, Old Dirty Bastard, The Loop & Captain My Captain. I ate two on the steps of oddly enough the dentist office down the street and brought the rest on the plane with me. Sadly one melted and the others went stale the next morning BUT my my was it worth the shot.

    I was very excited to come here after seeing Anthony Bordains bit on the restaurant in Portland. Unfortunately, that excited turned into disappointment shortly after waiting in a long line, paying an ATM fee and taking a bite of the butterfinger donut. The donuts are overpriced for what they are, comparable to Krispy Kreme, Dunkin or I'd even go as low as grocery store donut. Dine here if you want to pay for marketing gimmick, but not if you're looking for a serious treat.

  • Greg B.

    Can you still eat like you did when you were five years old? If so, you'll LOVE Voodoo! What I mean is that every donut tastes like it contains a pound of sugar. It's delicious and a super fun experience, but prepare yourself for a very heavy donut. These donuts aren't like Krispy Kreme, where they're so light and fluffy you feel like you could eat 6. Voodoo's donuts are dense. I had the: -Maple Bacon (2/10): regular donut with maple frosting and two strips of real bacon on top. I wasn't a huge fan, but if you typically like those two flavors you will LOVE this donut. It just wasn't for me. -Voodoo Doll (2/10): raspberry filled chocolate covered donut. Tastes just like it sounds, nothing special. -Orangetang (7/10): Orange frosting with orange sprinkles and orange flavored sugar. it was incredibly sweet, but if you like orange flavored things this is the donut for you -Dirt (10/10): cream frosting with crushed Oreo cookies on top. One of the best donuts I've ever had. A must order. Honestly if it weren't for all of the hype I probably would give this place 5 stars because it's so unique and fun, but I've heard how amazing it was for over a year now and I'm not sure it lives up to the hype. It's a great place to go with a group of friends late night or with family from out of town. There are three points for improvement at Voodoo: 1) The Price- I bought four donuts for $9, and I didn't even get one of the really expensive fritters. The price won't be changing so it's not really worth complaining about; just be aware it's pricey. 2) Cash Only- they don't accept credit cards so make sure you have cash 3) Format of the Menu- the menu only says the names of the various donuts; it doesn't describe what's in or on that particular donut. As a result you're left to just choose one with a fancy/fun name or look in the display case and point to one that looks good. It would be really nice to be able to make a more informed decision. Overall, it's a great place. Probably not worth an hour wait. I recommend the Dirt donut which had Oreos and cream on top, it was the best I had.

    Cash only and the disgraceful waste of money on a crappy menu design. As someone else noted, why not use the tech you have to update the menu as donuts become unavailable. That and enlarge the font/pricing a tad. Other than that and the usual long line, sooo delish.

    (4)

  • Kristofer Z.

    Don't get me wrong, the doughnuts are excellent. Some make you feel like your teeth are going to rot from all the sugar, but they are still delicious. Even the more traditional (plain) varieties are worth getting. The rating suffers because of everything else. First of all, there's no parking. Yes, this is common on Colfax, but there's a parking lot directly behind the building and yet Voodoo didn't (couldn't?) reserve any spots there for its customers. So while I often expect to walk a block or two when I come to Colfax, I feel Voodoo could have done something to make the situation better. The lack of parking is exacerbated by the constant line. If you get a line shorter than 15 minutes, go buy a lotto ticket next, because it's your lucky day. The line is often over 45 minutes. The high demand could be because it's new to Denver, but I'm told the Portland locations are the same way. Seems to me Voodoo is inconveniencing its customers and leaving money on the table by refusing to increase supply to meet the demand - either by running more registers or opening more locations. Figuring out which donuts you want is a challenge, because the one menu is tiny and way up high. I used my phone to look up the menu while waiting in line, but a printed paper menu would have been far better. But it seems many people get to the front of the line without any idea what they want. Absurdly in this day and age, they are CASH ONLY, and this is also consistent with their original locations, so it's not like they have yet to get the system up and running. There is an ATM, but even they acknowledge it's so slow as to be nearly useless. Credit card merchant fees may cut into the bottom line, but it's a convenience and a service to the customer, like parking and readable menus, that makes the experience more enjoyable. One positive - I felt like the service while ordering at the register was pretty snappy and efficient. They make a list of your entire order and then assemble it, checking it off as they go. Way faster than fetching doughnuts one at a time.

    Definitely a bunch of inventive donuts. I really liked my donut. I wouldn't say I LOVED my donut, but I think I just had super high expectations because the line was literally out the door. Good donuts though, really!

  • Abbie B.

    The doughnuts are pretty good but the service is average. I got the oreo cookie doughnut and it tasted like a regular glazed. I was a bit disappointed. The staff seems a bit stand offish/ badass /too cool. And when is this place NOT packed out? The line went just to the door which was lucky and it took about 25 min at 11pm on a Tuesday night. This is not a good place for kids who know how to read... There are definitely some adult themed doughnuts. Seriously could be a huge improvement if they offered seating. They must make enough money to be able to provide some tables. Seems pretty standard to see customers sitting outside on curbs eating. The atmosphere outside is a bit creepy. Lots of hobos walking up and talking to people in line. I wouldn't recommend for women to be here alone at night. I was thankful to have 2 men with me.

  • Kevin B.

    Dear friends: I'm not a big fan of donuts. I will have them once in a great while. And having said that, they are, considering the outrageous caloric content, not worth a half an hour wait. Especially considering the fact that it is not difficult to appropriately staff a restaurant so that the line moves relatively quickly. That leads us to the question: why does the management of VD doughnuts continue to make the decision to allow a Disney World-length line to exist in and around its establishment? I would argue that they do so because they think their customers are so clueless as to not recognize that their business is all buzz--all flash--all style and little substance. To be fair, if that is your thing, if that makes you feel like a unique human being, to eat an interestingly-named donut after standing around for a good while, then I am in no position to judge you. Spend your cash (and only cash) there. We all have our quirks. But here's my advice: don't do it. Go to LaMar's or somewhere. When I want a donut, I go to Patty's on 29th and York. Patty, the owner, is always there, there are always great donuts, & you are buying a product from an earnest and grateful small business owner. There is no flash. No buzz. Just donuts. Quickly.

    !! NEVER AGAIN !!! I've been to the one in Portland; WONDERFUL experience! So with that said when I found out they opened one in Denver I was ecstatic. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! I waited in line patiently, knowing the wait would be a while, finally when I reached the counter: 1) Guy tells me he's going on a break and leaves 2) I'm stuck 10 minutes of waiting for someone to take his place (NO ONE EVER DOES BTW) 3) Another 5 minutes of being ignored by the guy in the cash register NEXT to me while I politely wait 4) Finally when a second person DOES go up to the counter, she chooses to go on the complete opposite register of where I'm at and ignores me (AGAIN) Four groups later, the kind strangers behind me let me take their turn to FINALLY order my donuts. After all that guess what? They got my order wrong.....I didn't once bother complaining I just wanted to get out of there. \(T^T)/ Dunkin Donuts FTW!

  • Wesley O.

    lots and lots of hype for this place. stood in line for 15-20 min, which wasn't terrible. paid $12 for 6 donuts. I was hoping for an amazing actual donut, but it seems they only have crazy toppings that get a lot of attention, but the donut isn't anything special. I've definitely had better donuts before for the same price or less. They also go for the "shock factor" with the various donut names and such. Over-all not too impressed.

    This place is definitely a place to visit when you are in colorado. It is only in colorado and in Oregon! It is open 24/7 so any time come. But I recommend a late late night run cause it's usually packed. Their doughnuts are definitely worth their price as they are DELICIOUS! I recommend the voodoo doll doughnut and the captain my captain. They also have their own unique drinks. Remember to bring cash as it's a cash only establishment. I also recommend the 14 dollar box. It comes with 13 randomly selected doughnuts and is the best bang for your buck. It's worth the wait and money!

  • Jonathan C.

    So first things first - the donuts here are pretty good. They are now open 24/7 so they are making these donuts pretty much all day long. We got several types - Maple Bacon, No Name, Captain my Captain, Arnold Palmer...they were all very tasty. The MAJOR issue here is the line...and not even so much that there is a line, but HOW LONG you have to wait in that line is absurd. We arrived at VD at about 7:00PM on Saturday night...probably a slightly busy time for them, I can understand that. The line was just starting to go out the door...our initial spot put us about 3 back from the door to get in. The first time I saw someone walk out of the store with a box of donuts was 5min later. It took over 10MINUTES for the line to move enough to get us in the door. Im thinking in my head - man, I wonder what the hold up is...its a cash only business, the donuts are already made...how long could it take to give someone an order? Once inside I could assess the situation a little more. They have 4 (FOUR) registers open along the counter...so clearly that wasent the issue. They had hundreds of different donuts on cooling racks waiting to be picked up and placed in boxes...so that wasent the issue. The line itself wasent even that long - I estimated about 30ish people ahead of me, most of which were in groups or couples...so really only about 10-15 orders ahead of us. So...whats the problem you ask? The absolute snails slow pace the staff moves at. Im not sure if thats part of the atmosphere that the owner wants for the place - but man alive...they would literally get an order from someone for a dozen donuts, and the person would go back, get 1 doughnut, put it in the box, look at their computer screen to see what the next one is, go back grab that 1, come back put it in the box, look at the screen for the next one....on and on and on like that. An order for a dozen seemed to take the staff around 10min to complete. I just dont get it. I would even go as far as to say they are purposefully going slow to ensure that there is always a line that goes out the door...which if thats true is terrible. We waited roughly 45min to get 7 doughnuts in a line that most other doughnut establishments could burn through in 10 minutes. VD's biggest problem will be return customers. Donuts are a dime a dozen, and while they might make very good donuts, the novelty wears thin when you have to spend more time waiting in a line to get the doughnut, than you do eating it. Ill go back - but only if they fix the wait issue. I dont mind waiting in a line - but lets put a little pep in the step eh employees? Its doughnuts for gods sake...its supposed to be a convenience food/treat. Also, I think it would be a great idea for them to turn 1 of the 4 registers into an "express lane" - meaning that people who just want to order 2 or less donuts could go in that line and order, and not have to wait behind the people who are ordering 5 dozen.

    I was nervous about coming here given all the negative comments on the long lines, rude staff, no parking, annoying clientele, etc...... Glad I gave it a chance! Came on a Tuesday morning around 7am. There was not one person in line and plenty of free parking right out front (meters don't start til 9am). The gal at the register was super friendly, down to earth and helpful with recommendations, descriptions and packaging my order into a pretty box to take away (she even thought to offer me extra tissue paper since I was bringing these in to share with co-workers). I ended up leaving with 15 doughnuts for just under $25. Were these the best doughnuts of my life? Probably not. Some were delicious, some were way too sweet for my liking. But they were really fun, interesting flavors... and my co-workers all got a kick from trying bites of different kinds. More expensive than King Soopers? Yes, averaging $1.66 a piece for my 15. But again, the fun experience was definitely worth all that. All in all, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. It helps to check out their menu online before going to get an idea of what you want, as there's dozens of flavors available and deciding on the spot can be overwhelming. Just remember to bring cash.

    Take your tiger friend and get ready for a sugary jolt akin to downing a box of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. I'm partial to the concoctions with the cream filled centers that you can lick out with your tongue (ha, ha) but it really doesn't matter what you choose since all of their treats are tasty. Not the best I've ever had but pretty damn close. Bring cash (a fair amount, its not expensive but these doughnuts ain't cheap) and go at an off time because if you are waiting in line for an hour to buy doughnuts, you're doing it wrong. (Its a treat, not a job)

  • Lauren M.

    Okay, donuts are delicious. The donuts at 7-11 are even good if you really need a donut. But I bought a dozen donuts for upwards of $20 and it was SO worth it. There's usually a line, but sometimes in bad weather or at weird times of day, you'll catch a slow time. I'd say it's not worth a half hour wait, but stop here to pick up some donuts for your coworkers and they'll love you forever (just maybe avoid the blunt and the cock donuts, NSFW).

    If I could give them negative stars I would after the horrible customer service I received today, I came in and bought over $30 worth of donuts when I got home I realized that 4 of the donuts were not what I ordered , I ordered 4 maple bars what ended up in my order were 4 cake like donuts , I also realized the guy never gave me a receipt but who thinks they are going to need one for donuts, so I called the shop expecting them to be able to help me, I was even willing to drive back, well I ended up talking to two managers neither of which were willing to help me, they told me without a receipt they couldn't help me even though it had been only an hour. They even admitted that they often forget to give people there receipts but that it was still my fault. They refused to exchange for even give me the 4'donuts I was missing you would think a large business like this would have better customer service and wouldn't want to lose a customer that comes here fairly often but I guess not.

    Was a little nervous about the event location, but don't let that so you from visiting! Got the Voodoo Doll, Mexican Hot Chocolate and the Peanut Butter Oreo (per cashier's recommendation).

    We waited 30 minutes to see what this what the fuss was all about.. The signs are too small to even read and they are placed in a bad spot, Service was extremely slow. We watched someone in the kitchen area sweep the same spot for ten minutes. That is not a joke, One piece of apple in my husband's fritter I had the maple bar and it was good but not worth going back for.

    Awesome doughnuts. Definitely ten times better fresh than if you eat a day old. Creative, edgy, all that. K. Now that that's out of the way, parking sucks in cap hill, but it's not Voodoo's fault. They're worth what some see as inconvenient parking and a bit of a wait. Park a ways away, walk a few blocks, wait for your donut and enjoy your hard earned baked good. That's what you're signing up for, and it's wonderful. Viva Colfax!

    Delicious donuts! I was really excited to try this place since I've never made it to Portland and have heard so much about this place. Warning: CASH ONLY!

    The iconic doughnut shop from Portland, Oregon. I once saw the shop on Food Network and was so envious of those who have had a chance to eat at this glorious establishment, figuring I would never have the opportunity, with no need to ever go to Oregon. Buy then they opened in Denver and I have now been multiple times and they are as delicious as my imagination portrayed them to be. A must try doughnut shop full of both bold doughnut names and flavors. My fave is the Old dirty bastard, chocolate frosting, crushed Oreos, and peanut butter drizzle....heaven :D

    It's really hard after a 40 minute wait, to say your unhappy with a product. We got 2 dozen doughnuts, none of them were AMAZING. All of them were mediocre at best. This place is clearly running off of "the new cool thing on social media", seeing all of the hipsters taking selfies and pictures of doughnuts inside. It is working out great for them right now, but once it wears off they will have to restructure the process. The long line is just due to lack of management, and not being able to see the menu. Here's an idea: while I wait 40 minutes for mediocre doughnuts, have a menu on the wall that I can read. Or: have your cashiers ring people up, and have one of the 10 employees standing around grab the doughnuts. I guess I'm just not cool enough to wait in a long line for a mediocre product. I won't return...

    Update: I have been here approx 10 times and waited through the horrendous lines and 9 of those 10 times they don't have the donut I like and I'm forced to order something else since I just spent that time in the awful line. I won't be going back. I'm not sure what all the hype is about at this place or why you should wait in line for 20+ minutes for doughnuts anywhere. The customer service is good the doughnuts are average (a bit sweeter than most but good). I wouldn't go out of my way again to visit them but if I'm in the neighborhood I would stop by only if the line is short.

    We were in town for a concert and dropped in for some donuts beforehand. Line wasn't bad, just long enough to give us time to figure out our order. I particularly enjoyed the Old Dirty Bastard. When I asked how big the Voodoo Doll was, our cashier gave us one for free (because it was face down on the tray for some reason). We devoured our box next door.

    Crappy Hipster service for crappy hipster donuts. While they have a wide variety of doughnuts, our reaction was meh. Also, having to wait 45 minutes in line for crappy service diminished the experience even more. We will drive to Krispy Kreme for a much cheaper and more delicious dozen of donuts.

    We were so excited to come try these doughnuts. We heard great things and thought we would stop by on our visit from Chicago. Luckily we went early enough that there was no line. However, the doughnuts were a little stale, considering we went at 7:30am.

  • Jen H.

    Two words: Portland Cream. Plenty to look at while you wait in line (though, when I was there, the line was only about 4 people long - yay!). The long list of doughnut varieties can be found on their website, for those of you who like to walk in with a specific doughnut in mind. Their display case may change your mind, and I think that they know that, so maybe that's why they automatically start opening up a box for you as you walk up to the counter. My sister and I only bought one doughnut each, but we'll be back to try others soon. The folks who work here are happy to answer any questions, the doughnuts look and taste fresh, and the wait in line is worth it.

  • Mike H.

    The doughnuts here are incredible. My wife dared me to order the c*ck and b*lls, not thinking I'd have the testicular fortitude to do it. Which I did, along with the bacon maple and the "Captain, My Captain." The c*ck and b*lls were for my wife, so I can't speak as to how that doughnut was, but my wife seemed pretty satisfied from it. I, on the other hand, really enjoyed the bacon maple and captain, my captain.

    Honestly, I would not go back! It was not worth the hype at all. You can get doughnuts that taste the exact same at King Soopers--and with a lot less hassle! The 45 minute line is NOT because the doughnuts are so amazing and warrant a wait. The long line is because the service is terrible, the menus are illegible and the overall system is awful! The employees take their sweet time. Paint dries faster than these employees walk. It takes so long because the same person who is the cashier is also the one to pick out your doughnuts (but not without consulting the cash register in between each doughnut to remember what you ordered), to build the boxes and to restock the shelves. It's a joke of a system. The menus are so small that you cannot read them, which only adds to the lengthy wait because when the customers finally get up to the cash register, they have to ask what the flavors are. A cash-only business in this day and age is ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous? The fact that they are 3 weeks old and the ATM in the lobby is already broken. All in all, not worth your time!

  • S S.

    there was a line but it moved fairly quickly, I waited 15 minutes. You can't choose your own flavors, understandable since the wait would be longer but still annoying. I did like most of the flavors chosen for me, love the orange flavor and even the grape one. The quality is ok, not amazing tastes but creativity wins. I'd visit again

    My family and I went here yesterday as part of our trip to the botanic Gardens. It's very close so it's a good stopping point for a quick breakfast before hitting the gardens. The neighborhood is not the best but the donuts are definitely worth it. I had heard that the lines could be as long as an hour or two hours. That was not the case on this Saturday morning. We spent about 15 minutes of nervous anticipation in line trying to figure out which donuts we would get. All of that adds to the experience my favorite donut out of the dozen that we bought was called but no name. It is a chocolate raised doughnut with rice crispies and peanut butter. Walking out with the big pink box and the cool graphics you feel like 1 million bucks. Don't miss it bring home a dozen everyone will thank you.

    JUST GO! 1. buy pastries 2. eat pastries on curb or in car on way home, save some for later or bkfst 3. tell your friends, take your friends 4. buy mug , buy T-shirt 5. wear T-shirt, display mug prominently 6. REPEAT steps 1 thru 3 JUST GO! (if you don't like it you don't get it, it's a Voodoo Doughnut thing)

    Waited 45 minutes in the middle of the week. Thank GOD for the menu on their website because you are physically unable to read the menu screens above the counter. And if you have eaten all your carrots all your life, you still won't know what's in the donut youre ordering... just the neat name of said donut. Donuts were HIGHLY overrated. Very sweet with all the crap piled high on top of some of them. Overpriced. The cake donuts taste like they're all a day old. The yeast donuts had a great consistency but were marred by all the extra crap they put on top of it. I'd totally recommend going to Dunkin Donuts... at least the service is fast, you know what you're ordering, and everything tastes fresh.

    I went to Voodoo yesterday. The line was only inside the door, which is great from what these other reviews say about the line. That being said, I still waited a good 30/45 minutes. Let's get the obvious out of the way: Cash only. I realize they started as a small business, but not having a card option just demonstrates either laziness or being cheap. Don't want to pay the credit card companies to allow customers to use services? Fine. Charge a fee for using a card. The inconvenience is annoying (not to mention that's probably a big factor in the line problem). ATM is a joke. It's worse than a computer running Windows 98 after a power surge hits. The people were friendly enough, though. However, there was one female on the register that was wearing a cut up shirt, so cut up that you could see her bra (not just the strap, I'm talking a full cup). Ew. Not even McDonalds would be ok with that. The product? Tastes like a donut. The appeal is nice, the unique flavored are cool. But other than the "special" toppings, the donuts are mediocre. I got quite a few of them, not one was fresh out of the oven. Over all, I would say save your time, save your money. There's a Krispy Kreme on County Line that serves fresh donuts that actually melt in your mouth. Try that place. I've never seen a boob there, either.

    THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! Do not let lines out the door scare you away from this place. Remember the doughnuts are already done and the average person only spends about 2-3 minutes at the counter. The staff here was super friendly and helpful. Please note that as is says on their web site and a few places in and on the building, THIS IS A CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT! That being said there is an ATM in the lobby. I recommend brining at least $10. The doughnuts here are some of the best I have ever had! To be honest I think they kick Dunkin' Doughnuts in the dick!

    4 stars because it's famous and deserves a visit. My sister lived across the street.. How lucky was I! The actual doughnut is nothing special, but the toppings are AMAZING! My favorite was the fruit loops. I'm not sure if the frosting is different than other ones but it tasted like a milk and cereal bar. I loved it. Second favorite was m&m

  • Dennis D.

    Well I never got a chance to try a doughnut and I do not think I will go back, this place is a mess. Let's remember we are talking doughnuts here. They are already cooked and waiting in trays to be put in boxes, not a difficult task. I had to drop daughter off at East HS for a SAT test but got there 40 minutes early and decided to try a doughnut, the line was out the door at 7 am Saturday. We waited for over thirty minutes and saw maybe (6) six people gets served and about that many just leave without purchase. I saw no one at all get served for the first 10 minutes or more that I waited, but I did see employees, whom I must categorize politely as doofus morons, and fat chicks standing around talking to each other, ignoring customers while the line went out the door. Three registers and only one was open and that was operated by the doofus, finally an employee/manager showed up and actually started taking orders but by then it was too late, had to go. fifteen peopel still in fron t of us when we left. Lousy, lousy management of the front end... I was incredulous at the intense lack of urgency in responding to customers, sorry hype is hype but this place is a waste of time ( plus who are these people who enjoy waiting in line and talk about it as if it was fun?)??

  • Patrick C.

    My girlfriend and I finally were able to check out Voodoo Doughnuts, so we went at 430 in the morning. No line just a girl at the front register. She was super friendly and helped us out with the overwhelming amounts of donuts to choose from. I kid you not while I am writing this review I am eating one of their donuts right now. Must go!!!!

  • Shannon P.

    Overly sweet. I am not sure what the fuss is about. I thought maybe the fuss was about the fun "deco" on the doughnuts but as I opened my pink box, I only saw a mess. It was almost turd-like. It looked sticky and gooey. It looked like a good 'Hoarders' episode where all the clutter spilled out of a small closet and landed into a cake box. It was not even cute or funny...it was just plain horrific. It looked worst than voodoo itself. Skip the 45mins line and get yourself some donuts from Walmart (which by the way, taste less sweet and are a lot cheaper)

  • Heather L.

    Okay, I'm typically even-natured. And likely still am... BUT - I was super disappointed x2 in VooDoo. A longtime fan of the Portland shop, I eagerly awaited their opening. Here is my completely honest response: Visit #1 - I'd rather have a freshly made melt-in-your mouth plain glazed donut than a relatively stale one covered in candy. The foundation has to equal or exceed the topping. Visit #2 - When it takes one cashier an hour to help 12 customers (NOT exaggerating) and only 1 of 3 registers is open, the line out the door is either inexcusably poor mismanagement or publicity stunt. Not sure I can rally for a 3rd try.

  • Denver B.

    Been waiting to visit since the opening but everytime (four) I drove by the line was way out the door and down the block. Recently we drove by and the line was relatively short. Only... a twenty minute wait and we were at the counter and ordering. Ok... the traditional doughnuts were very good. Glazed, chocolate covered, cream filled Portland, cruellers, buttermilk bar... excellent. The best by far were the raspberry filled jelly doughnuts. These were absolutely superb. The price was fifteen bucks including tax and tip for nine doughnuts. Not bad! Problem here is the parking which is tough and the long lines. Otherwise. .. Voodoo makes great doughnuts. Be advised, there are a lot of really stoned people on line here. Most are really mellow and patient. If you can handle a myriad of stoned folks it's a fun scene. If not you could feel out of place here. Enjoy the experience! We did.

  • Rachel B.

    After waiting in a line for an hour on Sunday early afternoon, we finally get home with a dozen of donuts. My husband and I had already been to VooDoo in Portland so we were excited to see it open another location in the neck of our woods! First of all, it is a soft opening so come with a huge dose of patience. Because I already experienced VooDoo in Portland which has been there for years and have learned to run the business efficiently, I couldn't help but compare the service. The line was extremely slow moving, and the staff were not moving fast enough. Hence the missing 5th star. It's no wonder people were coming out with a doZen or more donuts to justify the long wait. I think they need more staff to back the cashiers. 2nd, the menu on the boards are TOO small to read-I suspect that's another factor causing the traffic jam. People don't get a chance to decide while waiting in the line so by the time they get to the cashier, they take a few more minutes to look closely at the display and talk with the cashier about the donuts. While I was waiting, I couldn't believe how some people were taking the time to make the orders. So a suggestion:: make the print on the menu boards bigger. 3rd, my husband and I are American Sign Language users, and we had difficulty understanding the guy cashier. We typed everything we wanted in our iPhone, and when he communicated back, he just mumbled under his mustache. He said something about one particular donut that was out, and he was not clear. What would helpful for Deaf/Hard of Hearing people is to have a laminated donut menu handy by the registrar so we could point which donuts we wanted instead of trying to point the correct donut in the moving display. Not only would it be efficient for the communication between Deaf/HH people and cashiers but it would also benefit everyone in making the orders faster. For some reason, when we ordered the cannoli looking donuts with orange sprinkles (vegan), the cashier did initially put two of those in the box but then without my knowledge, removed them. I don't know what happened but I think the staff should make more of an effort in ensuring the communication with deaf/HH people is clear! I believe in VooDoo! The donuts are amazing. Just some tweaks here and there in the service aspect.

    After seeing photos of doughnuts my friend bought when they first opened, I was anxious to go and see what all the hype was about. I actually find the smell of doughnuts more appealing than the taste, especially since I can't eat them, but that didn't stop me from going to get my little brother one. I visited on a Thursday night around 8:30. From what I've read from other reviews, there's always a line that's practically out the door or down the block, no matter the time you go. When passing the place in the car with my friend, there were about six people in line but unfortunately, parking is an absolute nightmare, so half an hour later when we finally parked about six blocks away and walked over to the joint, the line was about twenty people long. Having read that service per person normally takes 15 minutes, I was a little hesitant to wait in line, but there were three of the four registers open and the line moved along quickly so that the total wait was 15 minutes. The doughnuts are on display in a revolving place, the music blares overhead, and it's very, very PINK. The menus are small, though, and difficult to read at times so you should know what you want before you get to the line by looking at it at home or pulling up the menu on your smartphone. Also, it's cash only, but there is an ATM inside. My brother wanted the Maple Bacon Bar which was around $3.75 but I downgraded him to an Arnold Palmer which was around $1.95. After he inhaled it, he said that it tasted like the drink turned into sprinkled candy. My friend ordered another Arnold Palmer, a simple glazed one, and the Diablo Rex. He liked both of them, mostly the Diablo because of the rich chocolate. The flavors are definitely unique, though some of them are ones you could make yourself if you put cereal or sprinkles or cookies on store-bought doughnuts. Others like the Cock-n-balls and the Tex-ass are quite unique. If I really, really wanted a doughnut, I would probably just pick one up at the local supermarket, but as I haven't had one in years, I can't say personally how Voodoo tasted. It's a very "hipster"-like place and if the line isn't too long, worth it.

  • D A.

    I'm not even a doughnut connoisseur, but at Voodoo, it's L-O-V-E (and drool) at first bite. You must buy a maple bacon bar and a voodoo doll. I also recommend the C-&-B, Tang, ODB, Marshall Mathers, No Name, Maple Blazer Blunt, Portland/Colfax Creme, and Memphis Mafia. Oh, and the line is TOTALLY worth the wait. Outside of Monday-Friday 9a-5p, I would not put your eggs in one basket for a wait any less than 45 minutes. My only recommendation would be to make the menu inside large enough for the eyes; the print on screen is much too tiny for the naked eye. Y'know, so the drunks in line can make their decisions a little quicker. ;-) (Good thing I can browse the menu from my phone while waiting in line)

  • Jaime P.

    Set up SO poorly! Customers have to wait until called to the register to see the donuts and figure out what to order. Takes forever to order, and good luck if your stuck behind a kid that takes 25 min to pick what they want or worse several groups of them. There needs to be some sort of picture menu or display to be looked at while standing in line and would really cut back the time. 35 min wait is not worth it for this.

  • David C.

    Since I've been to the original Voodoo location in downtown Portland, my major concern was whether the donuts would be as good at our new local outpost. Well, they are. Score one for Voodoo! Yes, the lines are ridiculously long, and yes, there was an adjustment period while they fine-tuned the recipes and got everything organized, but they're here to stay now. In case you haven't seen or heard, it's cash only here, so come prepared. The in-store ATM acknowledges that it's slow, so just avoid it and bring cash ahead of time. Parking in the neighborhood isn't good, so you'll have to hope you get lucky. The city will tow you if you park in a nearby business's lot, so don't do that. Anyway, after an hour and fifteen minute wait on a weekend afternoon I ordered a bunch of my favorites, and they had the same texture and consistency as the ones at sea level, so they obviously got it right. Somehow I restrained myself from going here for several weeks in order to give them time to work out the kinks, and I'm glad I did. Everyone's going to have their personal favorites so I won't bother listing them all, but there are about 50 varieties on the menu board (which is very small and needs to be re-worked) so if you can't find several that you like, you're simply in the wrong place. These are actually pretty high-quality donuts; it's not just the shtick that gets people in the door. I hope the lines simmer down once everyone in Denver makes their pilgrimage there, so that us hard-core donut enthusiasts can enjoy what Voodoo has to offer.

  • Levi L.

    Represent PDX!!!! Finally some Voodoo magic in Denver. This place is so popular in Portland that they sell the boxes in the airport. I had the Portland Cream at this location and it was stellar. Best donut I've had in Denver. Also - just a heads up - plan on about an hour or two to get through the line here. The lines are already close to equalling the terribly long lines that have become part of Portland lore. Every donut is good, so order your favorite and be blown away.

  • Marcy D.

    Had a perfect donut at the recently opened Voodoo Donuts on East Colfax - the chocolate covered glaze. The donut was at least 3" high, dense yet light, deep fried to a golden hue and then covered with a generous amount of delicious dark chocolate-flavored icing. And then there was the bacon maple log...ahhh. But you should see for yourself, despite the long lines. Now, if I can just stop ruminating on going back every day to Voodoo donuts!

  • Jerman L.

    Can't argue that these are some awesome tasting doughnuts HOWEVER, the wait is definitely not worth it if your employees are going to be that slow to provide service then either open more registers or get employees who understand the concept of customer service. An even bigger problem is the "CASH ONLY" policy. Seriously? What century are you guys living in? I can not even remember the last time that used cash to pay for anything.

    This Place is Great.....had Lamar's and Winchell's they are not This. They cater to the Gluten free crowd,Everyone that works here has Personality....the Doughnuts taste Awesome. Come to Voodoo Doughnuts Mile High for a bite, but don't expect to get some fast food, its worth a little wait. P.S. Top faves ODB, Baple Macon...joke and The Voodoo Doll There are some people who are obviously not Real Foodies, because Great things come to those who wait. All Great places have lines. And for those who are afraid of getting robbed speaking on the location....just keep to yourself and you'll be fine. :P

    I guess I'm not a donut guy, but waiting nearly an hour in the freezing cold in a disgusting neighborhood with drug addicts, hipsters, and skateboard punks isn't my idea of fun. The staff was awesome, but the donuts are...donuts. I don't see any sign of superiority over Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme, or Lamars. I got an assortment, and they were all sickeningly sweet, except for the Mexican Hot Chocolate. Mango, Rasberry, whatever flavor I was supposed to taste, all I got was sugar. Been there, done that, gave them my money. I won't be back.

    We went to try out Voodoo Donuts at 7am this Wednesday morning. The line was to the door, literally a 40 min wait, totally unnecessary as they had three cash registers but only 1 and half open. They had one cash register open and some of the time they had someone training on the other till, when we got there we placed our order and then "S**t my screens gone blank", so we had to order again. The donuts were ok. I have a sweet tooth, but the Voodoo doll was vomit inducingly sweet, the rest were meh - could get the same from Dunkin Donuts. The one exception was the maple bacon which was maybe worth a 10 min wait! This place is all hype and pink boxes and no substance

    Love this place. The donuts are amazing and worth the wait. It does not matter what time of day you are there you are probably going to wait so be prepared. My absolute favorite is the Memphis Mafia. Only reason I gave 4 and not 5 is because I don't normally carry cash so it's kind of a pain since they don't take cards. Yes there is an ATM inside but I don't want to pay the fee to pull money out of it.

  • Michael D.

    First off the place is pricey as far as doughnuts go it should be $$$$$ and cash only. I had the bacon maple bar and it was amazing. Salty and sweet right up my alley :) there was a bit of a debate between me and my friend as to if it was priced just above the "I would do it again" threshold. He said he would not I said I would. Place lived up to my expectations seeing this establishment featured on one of those food network shows ( I can't remember which one but I'm sure some one can find it on YouTube YouTube has everything lol). The menu sucks you can't see it if there's a line, I wish they would increase the text size, have a hand out menu available at the door or post another menu that is visible in the line.

    Made it to Voodoo for my pink box this morning. I figured that the line would not be too long if I arrived right after my spin class. Arrived at 7:00 am and there were only about 20 people in line BUT only 1 cashier. After a few minutes another guy jumped in and I thought ok we should start moving now. Nope! It took me exactly 50 minutes to get a dozen donuts. Pros: the donuts are good. I would say (my opinion) not the best in town but good. Walton's still has the best glazed and Lamar's buttermilk bar is indeed better (just my opinon). I hope the Voodoo fans don't hunt me down and kill me. Atmosphere is fun. Pink box is cute. Cons: Oh boy In my opinion the lines are slow and long because the process is inefficient. The menu is way too small and there are absolutly no prices posted. When most people get to the counter the staff has to explain everything over and over. The line would move much faster if they make the menu larger so customers know what to choose. I paid $12.15 for the Voodoo dozen. This was confusing, my cashier started naming off what was in my box. Wait I want to pick my own. That threw him off and took some time for us to work throught. Delays, delays. Even after picking my own it was still $12.15. I don't understand that at all. Parking: only street. Since I was there so early I parked in a lot behind them thinking office hours didn't start until 8am. No big deal right? Wrong. When I got back to my car there was a tow truck with a car hitched up. So glad my pink box didn't cost me $150. I was next! Warning: only park on the street because the other business are not to happy with the commotion. They are also Cash only. They do have a ATM however it was not working this morning. Out of service. I will be back but it will only be very early or very late. Enjoy the donuts :)

    This place is the bombbbbb and they aren't even officially opened yet! Went in last night around 9 and waited in line around 50 minutes, which is fine, I knew I was gonna wait to begin with. 9 donuts for 22$ and they were all amazing, especially the no name donut and mango one! Will def be back again!

  • Leslie H.

    Cool place, albeit with long lines. I waited 25 minutes on a Monday night. The doughnuts were great, I'm not sure they get better than this. In my opinion, the key to a good doughnut is that it's fresh, and they have that aspect down. That said, in a blind taste test, I'm not sure I could taste the difference between Voodoo Doughnuts and Dunkin Doughnuts...and Dunkin is much faster and they even have a drive through. So I'll probably be back to Voodoo, but just not all that often.

    I have fond memories of visiting the original Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, and I was ecstatic when I learned Voodoo was opening a Denver location. Cons are that the menu is hard to read and doesn't include pictures, and there's almost always a line. Pros? The donuts are hysterical and delicious. How could I resist stabbing a doughnut and watching jam ooze out? Who wouldn't enjoy a doughnut with a spiraled mustache? These pastries are joyous.

    The Mexican Hot Chocolate doughnut rocked my world... and my taste buds. The wait was to be expected, and fortunately not as long as I had anticipated, but the doughnuts here are always worth the wait (truest fat kid statement ever).

    A few weeks ago we watched a Food TV special and it featured VooDoo Doughnuts. I figured it was one of those places I would watch and drool about, but never actually get to eat at, but much to my surprise....They came to Denver!! Yes, we braved the hour long wait to experience the VooDoo Doughnuts and came out unscathed (other than a belly ache from hoovering them too fast). We got a variety of the cake and yeast and of course the signature VooDoo doughnut ("Tom Brady" was the poor victim today). I was so looking forward to the "Fruit Loop" one, since the are my fave, but it was a little disappointing to be honest. It was good, just not Great. It lacked something, maybe a filling? My favorite was the Mango Tango, which packs a yummy tangy punch! The CocoPuff cake doughnut was delish as was the Powdered Jelly. SInce I waited for so long, I wanted to get the most of my experience, so we also got the Fritter. Yum!! It's enormous and so good! VooDoo is Cash Only so make sure you go prepared! They do have an ATM but today if was down, and that would have been very disappointing if I had waited an entire hour, only to have no Cash!

    I don't know what the big draw is here. Tried them once, they were okay. Not worth going 40 minutes for or standing in a two hour line for. They get credit for having creativity and fun names for donuts but other than that I'll be passing from now on.

    You don't have to go to Portland to visit Voodoo Doughnut anymore. Pretty good doughnut shop across the board. I like the standards like Dirt (oreo covered) and the Portland Cream (haha suck it Boston). The Mexican Hot chocolate is HOT. So many options, I can't wait to go back and try more!

  • Raygina K.

    The only problem with Voodoo is the menu. There's one on the wall above the counter and it's small printed. I just picked donuts that looked good and asked about the ones that I couldn't identify. We were in and out in less than an hour, not much less but still less and the donuts are good. Next time I'll make a list from the website before we go to stand in line.

    Welcome to Colfax, Voodoo, you are a real add to the neighbored. Really fun place, great doughnuts (not made in a factory like Dun-kin Doughnuts), and awesome staff.

    Donuts are way overrated. I know because I use to work at a donut shop. They are yummy and delicious and that is what I expect from a good donut. But the wait is way too long (1.5hrs long), customer service is way too slow, and parking sucks. That is why I am giving it 3 stars. Also, donuts were way too expensive. We got a dozen and some specialty donuts. Fritters were good. I wish there was more apple chunks. Also, I did not have very much banana chunks in my Memphis Mafia Fritter. The voodoo donut was yummy, but also not enough raspberry. Don't know why they are so stingy will the their fillings. By the way, "The Fryer Flyer" consist of their top 13 donuts ($23.99)--no specialty donuts like fritters and the Cock-n-balls. Expensive!!! I guess it is good if you want to try Voodoo donuts or if you have 2 hours to spare. Glad I went once, but next time I will go to the local mom and pop donut shops or Winchell's.

  • Lynn D.

    Very good doughnuts. Very inefficient ordering system. The images and font on the digital flatscreen menus are so small that they're completely pointless. I couldn't even see what the prices were. Also, if you're going to have an ATM, it needs to be in service. I waited in line for over an hour and was planning on using your ATM only to find out that it was out of service. Once again, however, the doughnuts were delicious, and I will be back.

  • Joseph B.

    I have gone twice now and once waited 40 minutes and the other time waited 25 minutes. The duct tape art on the wall is great. The Brady and Sherman voodoo dolls were fun to torture. Employees are working hard, having fun and are helpful. The doughnuts were awesome. The drawback is the small menu that is hard to read and of course waiting in line with hipsters. I have had the grape ape (yeast doughnut with grape flavoring), the marshal mathers (yeast doughnut with white frosting and m&m's), the ODB (yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, oreos and peanut butter), a blunt (cone shaped cinnamon), a dirt road (yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting and oreos) and a voodoo doll (yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting). The voodoo was my least favorite. The others were fantastic. Doughnuts are about $1 - $2 each though and yes cash only. Good place for a desert.

  • Mark S.

    Cash only and only open five days a week. Not a great sense of customer appreciation. I will certainly not go out of my way to try this place again. Ill keep my loyalty to the local shop that works hard to make me donuts everyday.

  • Agi D.

    Okay so Iam not a donut fan. I wanted to try it and see it for myself. First of all the lines are not that big only because there is so many people, it's because once you order they chat with you ask how was your day etc..either they are just nice or this is the best way to keep the lines long...bravo, good marketing! We ordered a dozen donuts and tasted quite a few, liked all of them. I would be back. They are a lot better then any donut I have ever had....well done!

    (4)

  • Nate C.

    The doughnuts are great, and the concept is a lot of fun. Their cake doughnuts are my favorite. Their menu is next to impossible for me to read, and the cash-only thing is really obnoxious. Otherwise, show up during off hours or you're going to wait. No need to cry about it, yelpers! If you just want a doughnut, Winchells is just as good as it's always been...

  • Anna K.

    I circled the block three times for a parking, and it was totally worth it. I ordered a Portland Creme donut, their version of a Boston creme. It was just what I wanted, not too sweet, and a good Bavarian cream. They will start making orders for pickup on March 1st, so that should cut down on the wait time.

  • Jen T.

    I have been to the Portland location once, but it was right before my flight and I didn't have much time to enjoy them. Ever since then, I have been anxiously awaiting the Denver location opening. I will say that I have been frustrated with Voodoo's "soft opening". Yes, I understand how a soft opening works but I would like for them to at least post on Facebook when they sell out of donuts for the day. I already went down once to discover they were sold out for the day, which was quite disappointing, since I live about 30 minutes away. I arrived just before noon on a Sunday, expecting them to be sold out and closed. However they were open and had a pretty good variety left. The place was packed and the line seemed long and daunting, however it only took 40 minutes to get through, because there were 3 employees on the register. I had my list ready because I looked at the website while in line, and they could fulfill most of what I wanted. However, I had no idea about their bucket full of day old donuts for $8! I got some fresh donuts, as well as the bucket for $23. The bucket contained roughly 35 donuts, from regular donuts to specialty ones. The donuts at the bottom were a bit smashed and inedible, but the rest taste delicious!! I enjoy having the ability to try a variety without the price tag. Now, these donuts are definitely novelty. I wouldn't go out and get them every Sunday or for a casual occasion. They are most definitely a treat, and I can't wait till the grand opening when they work some of these kinks out and are open 24/7!

    We've tried to go there 4 times during normal business hours and they have been closed every time. I've heard of long lines, but I don't get it if they are never open. If there is such a huge demand why don't they stay open longer. After trying to go there today, I think I'm over it and don 't really care about the hype. Hopefully if I ever do go there it will be decent at least.

  • Mari S.

    These are by far the best doughnuts I have ever had! Always FRESH regardless of the time of day and they have seriously mastered the raised doughnut. My personal favorites are the maple bacon & the Blunts and the cinnamon crullers. Yes the line is always long night and day (even tried at 5:30 a.m. and still a line), but there is a reason for that....THEY ARE AWESOME and well worth the wait!

    (5)

  • Lorie A.

    All the hype for these donuts so we drive all the way there to find that they are closed and on a Monday. ...so not customer friendly! Wow..really oh well I've lived 47 yes without a voodoo donut I'm sure I will continue to do so.

  • Heather P.

    As a foodie I had to go to Voodoo. We went on a Saturday & the line was down the block so we passed. I went today (Wednesday) around 4 and it was barely out the door. No biggie, especially since I was child free. So I don't have a problem waiting for something that I have seen several times on Food Network & Travel Channel. But as a previous reviewer said, the wait is mostly because of a severely flawed system. Not only did my person go back and forth several times to the register, she still got my order wrong. I even had it written down for her. When I got home I was short 5 donuts, 3 of which were the bacon ones that were 2nd on my list. So I paid $35 and waited 30 minutes for 13 donuts. Donuts that are good yes, hands down they are better than Krispy Kreme, but I will take Lamar's or Dunkin any day over this. The only one I have tasted so far is the Voodoo doll and it is overbearingly sweet. Glad I went, just to say I did, but probably won't go back.

  • Brittany N.

    Dear GOD where to begin. I've been plotting this visit for a week and trying to find the best time. Luckily I didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes and they had 2 registers. I ordered the Rappers Delight, Memphis Mafia, Captain my Captain, Butterfingering and the Voodoo doll. Some I guess I got just for novelty but my favorites were actually the voodoo doll and the butterfinger one surprisingly. It was a good size not too big but not too small. Will definitely be going back!

    Aside from the fancy doughnuts at rioja, these are the tastiest I've had in Denver. I think most are topped with too many treats, but their jelly filled and cake doughnuts are bomb. Hidden gem - the tangfastic. Cash only!

    Of course the donuts are delicious! I was also pleasantly surprised at the cost, I assumed it would be much more expensive. I didn't mind waiting in line but I did have a problem with how stand-offish our server was. I realize its just a cash-register and someone taking my order but that being said all they have to do is take my order. The girl who helped us was stand-offish to a point of being rude. We asked her a few questions which seemed to be physically painful for her to answer for us. It seems to me that part of the draw of Voodoo donuts is the experience; the place is cute, the donuts are creative, so if I am waiting in line for that long just to have a donut I think they should take more pride in their customer service. Just a thought.

  • Amy R.

    This place should be called "why america is fat." People sit around all day, then decide to head out for a near-midnight snack of a dozen of their favorite overly-sweet, fried "breakfast foods." The line is probably what attracts people in the first place, but at least half of the wait is due to their horribly incompetent system. The people that take your order all also the people that hunt around for your requests on unlabeled trays. The simpler donuts that we got - cinnamon sugar and toasted coconut were good (though I don't think any better than Dunkin'.) The chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting and coconut was way too sweet, and the chocolate cake was pretty flavorless. So if you have time to waste and could stand to gain a few pounds, or want to observe outrageous inefficiency, line up.

  • Sebastian R.

    Great donuts if you are willing to waste more than half an hour standing in line. They definitely need more employees!!!

  • Ann P.

    Seriously, what business has the tiniest menu showing, meaning everyone has to ask what's what. Then has only has 1 cashier and 1 counter person. It's the nightclub hype mentality to keep a line. Over rated. 2 stars for, Who doesn't like a donut?

    (2)

  • Doris N Boris S.

    With all the hype, my wife and I went at 11:30 PM on a 20 degree night, thinking we'd minimize the wait. There were probably 15 people in front of us, but it still took over an hour for us to complete our order. The doughnuts are pretty creative, but I'd say they are no better than can be found at other shops (LaMar's, etc). The staff was friendly. Where Voodoo distinguishes itself, and not in a good way, is the inane setup of the store. There does not have to be a line around the block for this place, and there is no reason one would have to wait for over an hour to complete their order. But the inefficiencies of this place make both a daily occurrence. As others have mentioned, you cannot see the menu while you are waiting 60+ minutes in line. Most people seem to visit in groups which results in multiple people asking for descriptions of various doughnuts several times during the same order. The same person taking your order is the person who retrieves your doughnuts, ones and twos at a time. All of this just adds up to a much longer wait than necessary. I think they could improve things by putting a readable menu up around the store so while people are waiting and waiting and waiting they have plenty of time to plan their order. Also, use a few of the dozen or so employees in the store to retrieve orders while the cashier is taking them and handing out the change. It doesn't sound like rocket surgery, but, from the reviews on here, it doesn't sound like VooDoo has figured it out. It was an interesting experience but not at all worth the wait.

  • Laura P.

    Not worth all the hype. The doughnuts are decent though. Long lines and employees mess around behind counter. The menu is small and hardly legible. You can't see it until youre at the register. Probably wouldn't come here again. It's worth a try though if your in the area. Make sure you have time to wait a little while though.

    I had a pleasant experience. The smell in the place was amazing! Line was about 10 minutes and the staff had all great attitudes! I loved the donuts and they tasted extremely fresh and flavorful. No complaints here! Except: I can't read the menu screens. They are soooooooo far away and the print is EXTREMELY small. I have 20/20 too! Superman couldn't read it either. I know this because he was behind me in line. Otherwise, I loved it! Try it!

  • Jessica S.

    I learned my lesson today. I love voodoo donuts and took an out of town visitor, thought it would be fun. The lesson learned: don't let the staff pick your dozen because they will pick out junk. There were only two fun donuts and two of the same. I would pay more from now on to pick my own. I feel like it was a waste. The donuts are good but the idea is they are good and fun. In all fairness this is my first disappointing experience.

  • Vanessa F.

    My only complaint: every time I forget cash, the ATM is down, and every time I remember to bring cash, it's running like a dream. That thing is cursed, or I am? Who knows. Anyways, down to the nitty-gritty. I tried VD in Portland a couple years ago, and I LOVED it. I was so thrilled when I heard the news that they were coming to Denver, to the point that I gave all my friends and family weekly updates on the progress of the shop being constructed. I was worried that something would go horribly awry and the donuts would not taste the same, but they did it, they captured all that VD magic and brought it straight to Denver. If you love fruity/tangy flavors, I suggest the mango tango donut, it's my go to flavor. Another favorite is the ODB donut, with Oreoes and peanut butter. The more inventive donuts, well, most of their donuts, are definitely very sweet, and I would suggest getting a couple and splitting them with friends, family, your significant other, etc., because it is difficult to take on so much sweetness, but if you're a total sugar fiend, well dive right in! Aside from the donuts their staff is generally pretty friendly, and super helpful.

    We came here expecting a decent donut. Our first tip that we were in for a treat was the 30 minute line. If people were willing to wait a half an hour for this blob of fried dough, it must be good, right? As we stepped inside, we noticed the hilariously inappropriate "specialty" doughnuts, which are called cock'n'balls and looked like a cartoon image of the male reproductive system. I had the loop, which was amazing. I expect that we will be frequenting this place.

    After a bad day my roommates and I thought it would be good to distract ourselves with a trip into Denver for a visit to VooDoo Doughnut. When we arrived around 3:45 the line was way out the door. We ended up waiting about an hour and fifteen minutes to order the dozen doughnuts we'd pick out to try. The wait just made finally getting our pink box more exciting. And while they definitely could have been speedier at the counter, VooDoo knows that there are people willing to wait and a line out the door is the best advertising they can get. The doughnuts went from not bad to amazing. The 12 doughnuts we tried were: the voodoo, maple bacon bar, Miami vice, blueberry cake, old dirty bastard, the cap'n crunch one, the cocoa puffs one, one covered in butterfingers, coconut, mango, blunt, and the McMinnville cream. We proceeded to cut each doughnut in fourths and try each one of the dozen. Our agreed favorite: maple bacon bar. With old dirty bastard mango and cap'n crunch coming close. We picked out special doughnuts so it was about $20, next time we'll try the voodoo dozen.

  • Derek C.

    This place has very tasty donuts - the Maple Bacon Bar and Captain, my Captain are my two favorites. The donuts themselves are good, not great, but the toppings and different frosting that they put on the donuts put them over the top. I really enjoy the extremely diverse selection that they offer, and every donut that I have tried has been very good. The only drawbacks to Voodoo are the parking situation (street parking - good luck getting a spot) and that they could really use to make the physical menu bigger (it is very hard to see/read). Overall, this place is better than Krispe Kreme, Winchell's, and Lamar's. I would say 4.5 out of 5 if I could.

    (5)

  • Teressa C.

    I love you voodoo. You've ruined me, I can't eat a donut from any other establishment (with the exception of Lamar's glazed) without feeling disappointed. Wish your lines were shorter but I understand the customers dedication. Texas glazed doughnut, mango tango are my favorites but I continue to make my way through the list! Definitely recommend, but be prepared to now have higher donut standards and also be prepared to wait, although I can confirm that at 4 am, there is no line!

  • Rob J.

    Voodoo Doughnut makes incredibly good doughnuts!! The problem is how they run their business. I've been there 4 times, and twice I was impressed as they had 3 out of 4 cash registers taking customer orders, and quickly getting customers on their way! The other two times, they only had 1 register running, making the wait incredibly long, and tonight, I walked out, as we had moved 4 feet in 8 minutes. All four times I've been there, the line started just inside the door, so you respectively have about 25 to 30 customers in front of you. Why on earth would the folks who run this spectacular facility, install 4 registers, and only operate one, when the line is over 3 customers deep? This is a very poor business practice, that unfortunately seems to be embraced at Voodoo Doughnuts on Colfax, and it's a shame that the employees see this problem, yet do nothing about it. I'm not there because it's a fun place to be. I'm there because I'd like to get some doughnuts, and be on my way.

  • Ingrid E.

    I waited on opening day to buy doughnuts for myself and my crew at work. I was so pleasantly surprised by their prices, I ended up buying doughnuts for my crew, my husband's crew, AND a friend recovering from surgery! The doughnuts? Honestly, I didn't care for their small cake doughnuts, but I was alone in my opinion. Their HUGE yeast raised doughnuts are ridiculously amazing! I served their doughnuts to over forty people. The only complaint I got was that the Captain Crunch on the Captain my Captain was soft. Soft, but still delicious. Their Maple Bacon Doughnut is sure to become a very occasional guilty pleasure of mine. People complain about the parking? This is in NO way the fault of the bushiness! The shop is IN THE CITY! (Seriously people.) It is cash only, so come prepared.

  • Rachel P.

    I came in the other day and asked about gluten-free donuts which they don't make because they don't have a separate fryer. But the doughnuts look delicious. I am wondering if VOODOO DOUGHNUT would be willing to make a donut out of gluten-free ingredients even though it wouldn't technically be "gluten-free" since it would be fried in the same fryer as gluten-full doughnuts?

    Just a donut, cute idea but staff was too rude to all the customers. Should have signs explaining what's in each or train employees to be more helpful to the people paying their wages! It will wear off just like Krispy Kream did.

    Horrible customer service staff was rude and not at all helpful. Looked forward to visiting after hearing so much about this place perhaps the original is better but the Denver location sucks. No where to sit inside store is just one long line for very over priced not well made donuts. Top pot is by far a much better doughnut shop heck king soopers are better than this place.

    Sooooooooo the donuts should get 5 stars. For sure. Super creative with their products. But they really need to get it together in almost every other aspect. I hope it's just because they're new and working out kinks. First, the website is not updated to properly reflect their hours, or that there's even a Denver location. I feel like no one knows when they are open or what to expect. When we got there at 8am, the sign on the door said that they were closed. They were not. We went in and luckily there was no line. Well, actually there was a line, for the ATM. Because they are cash only. And the sign on the ATM warns that the ATM is very slow. And that's definitely true. Painfully slow. The next annoying obstacle was that you can't read the board of what the donuts are. I had no idea what to order and the staff member wasn't helpful. I felt rushed and pressured to order :( I just don't know. The donuts were good and I'm glad I can say I went, but it just seems like a big hassle.

    4 people ahead of me this morning with 2 registers open - it took 20 minutes to get out the door, and I only took 2 minutes to buy 2 doughnuts. Oh yea, they taste like any other doughnut. Actually they taste worse because they're expensive. 2 stars for being 24 hours.

    (2)

  • D.J B.

    Well folks, the verdict is in. I had two experiences at Voodoo Donuts tonight...my first and my last. Voodoo Donuts is nothing more than the In-N-Out of the donut world as it is unquestionably the most over rated food experience I've had the displeasure of in years. Clearly I'm supposed to consider it my privilege to stand in line for 30 minutes so that I can be blessed with this thing that they passed off as a donut. And "passed" is right as half of the concoctions in there look (and presumably taste) frighteningly similar to something that emerged from someone's colon after a night out in LoDo. This might have all been overlooked had it not been for the girl behind the counter who greeted me with not a single word but rather a raised eyebrow and a "WTFDYW" stare. No, I think I'll settle for Winchell's and Lamar's from here on out. But I'll always be thankful to Voodoo Donuts for providing me with the greatest waste of a half hour since the last time I locked my keys in my car.

  • Jay R.

    Okay so I was super skeptical of VooDoo. I expected the food to be good, sure, and I knew the lines would be long since it hasn't been open all that long. But holy toledo. I stood in an hour and a half long line, passing the entire time talking about doughnuts with my friends. None of us thought it could be worth the wait. A King Soopers doughnut is not earth shattering, but also not bad at all. Well, I can tell you, VooDoo kills it. Would I stand in line all the time for these doughnuts? ABSOLUTELY. We tried the specialty doughnuts as well as the more standard doughnuts and each one outpaced any other doughnut we ever had. The service was alright, although they did mess up our order. And here is how good the doughnuts were: the order was messed up and we STILL loved every doughnut we had in the box. All I can say is, if you are looking for something to do on Colfax and don't mind the wait, the doughnut is worth it.

    I love that we got a VooDoo Doughnuts in Denver! It is delicious and wish that it was closer to where I lived because I would go here more often. The people are always really nice when I go in. I think the only downfall is that they are a tad pricey but I will still pay because I love the doughnuts.

    Dear Portland: You can keep your donuts. I waited 90 minutes for a very average donut and a grumpy staff. It's cash-only and the ATM is broken, which only added to the fun. I'm all for quirky donut shops, but this was lame upon lame.

  • Brandon A.

    I LOVE doughnuts...I was very excited to have a new doughnut shop blocks from our office. My excitement is gone now that I have had the doughnuts. The marketing is clever, the design of the shop is horrid and the doughnuts are underwhelming. It took a number of cups of coffee to extinguish the sugar overload. Next time I'm in Portland I'm going to have to stop in just to see if it's better, it must be.

  • Eric L.

    Let me first say, I am a donut fiend/nerd/addict. I really like donuts. So when I heard about Voodoo coming to town I was excited. Well, the other day I finally went... And I hate to say that I was really disappointed. The donuts are good, but not wait-in-line-for-30-minutes good. Not at all. The concoctions are not even that exciting. One of their best donuts (according to me) was a raised maple bar with a slice of bacon on top. At first I was like "oooooh", but after eating it It seems they could have done some things better. Like why wasn't the bacon chopped up so each bite had some in it? As for the other donut flavors I assumed they might have interesting or creative ingredients, but many are just grossly decadent. Who really wants a donut covered with frosting and M&Ms? I love sweet things (LOVE) but I can't stomach something like that. Maybe I'm too picky. Maybe not. Its worth a try for you to make up your own opinion, but I wont be going back.

    My son and I go out for breakfast every Friday before school and I was excited to have Voodoo open so that I would not have to go to dunkin donuts anymore. We've now been 3 weeks in a row. The first 2 times were slow and you could tell they were working things out still; one would think that the the Friday after their grand opening and our 3rd time there would be the smoothest experience yet. Well, one would be wrong. We arrived at 7:50 and there was a line outside (probably about 40 person line). We figured we could get my son a donut in about 20-30 minutes, he could eat it on his way to school, and we would make it to school on time before the bell rung at 8:40. Instead, we waited an hour, yes an hour. The staff while friendly seem to have the attitude that people are happy to wait an hour. It's like the management tells their staff to take their time when fulfilling orders so that there is always a visible line by passerbys. They had 3 registers taking orders which went down to 2 when one of the employees went to fold boxes. They have 4 register stations available so why not have all 4 operating. Voodoo management, NO ONE AND LET ME REPEAT NO ONE HAS TIME TO WAIT AN HOUR FOR DONUTS. Yes, the donuts are great, but that will be our last time visiting Voodoo on a Friday morning before school. Please get your shit together. You have a great concept but the execution is terrible.

    Love the original location. Doughnuts are still great here, especially the fresh gooey chocolate frosting. But was very disappointed with the Voodoo Dozen I ordered here. They pulled a pre-filled box from a rack, which is okay, but 10 of the 13 doughnuts were "regular" doughnuts that I could've gotten anywhere. In contrast, at the original location, they went around and grabbed them all then and there, and not a single "regular" doughnut in the box. People don't go to VD to wind up with plain, powdered sugar, glazed and old fashioned. :(

    I went on Sunday, March 9th at 3:30 a.m. and it was out the door again. My friend and I didn't leave until 4:45 a.m. We waited in line for over an hour to get doughnuts, I think that was ridiculous. It was nice to be able to to get to know the drunks and insomniacs of Downtown Denver, but I really wanted to get my product and leave. My friend and I decided to tough it out. The staff was much more courteous today. I spoke with a short, young woman with mid to short length black hair, I didn't catch her name, but she was very kind and explained how Voodoo worked. She was much more pleasant than the employee I dealt with last time. What I learned is my other Voodoo review is kind of inaccurate. They do offer a doughnut package for plane doughnuts and glamour doughnuts. I think they called the one for glamour doughnuts a Voodoo Dozen. It included 13 of any of the Voodoo doughnuts, excluding the Maple Bacon Bar, Voodoo Doll Doughnut and the O.D.B doughnut. Essentially the name-brand doughnuts that voodoo is known for are the ones you have to order separately. I never have tried an O.D.B but everyone in line that knows Voodoo, likes it. The voodoo dozen was $14 something, and in my opinion still not worth the price, or wait time. I don't know all the official names of the doughnuts I tried, but I do know some, so I will give a brief description of which ones I tried; there was the blunt (cinnamon cake doughnut with red sprinkles in the shape of a really large joint), Cap'n Crunch doughnut (A raised doughnut with white frosting and Cap'n Crunch), Coco Puff Doughnut (Cake chocolate doughnut with chocolate frosting and coco puffs). Grape Ape doughnut (raised doughnut with grape frosting.....Did not like, too sweet), Butter finger doughnut (Cake doughnut with frosting and butterfingers crumbled on it....too sweet), A couple of raised glaze with chocolate and some cake with nuts and coconut, Oreo cookie doughnut (raised doughnut with frosting and Oreo cookie crumbles, again too sweet), and finally the nasty one of all cake doughnut with Mango frosting and mango in the middle........It was gross. It tasted like canned artificial mango. Finally I had their coffee, it was called NOVO coffee. Novo coffee is bitter and not very tasty; the only plus is that its local. I can't say Voodoo got any better, in fact I lowered a star because the food was worse. The menu feels like it was made by an 8 year old; lots of sugar and bizarre concoction. As I said before it is creative but that's it. I still think you need to try it yourself, because it is unique. The most important thing to remember about Voodoo doughnut is you're waiting in line for a hip ambiance, and a goofy doughnut combo, not much else.

    Well, I'm not disappointed with the service or any other aspect because there was literally no line to wait in. But, I'm utterly disappointed with the donut itself. To put it plain and simple, it fucking sucked. We got the Maple Bacon Bar as well as the Miami Vice. Both doughnuts were raw in the middle, the glaze in the maple bacon bar still had grainy sugar in it, and the Miami Vice doughnut didn't taste like anything except but sugar. Two sad ass doughnuts for five bucks?!?!?! This place is totally not worth the hype and I'm glad I didn't waste my time in a line to find out.

  • Joanne P.

    The wait was about 50 min. 25 outside in freezing cold, 25 inside in the cattle guard...lol.moo...The regular doughnuts are not as good as Krispy Kreme. The voodoo selection is fun. Wicked are the clock and balls! Go on an offtime. Not open Mon, Tues, Wed. Cash ONLY!

  • Stever M.

    Great doughnuts. Long slow lines. It would be faster to fly to Portland for a box. The girl behind the counter has been putting together a box of 6 for the last 15 minutes. While the line is backing up put the door.

  • R J.

    Well, if you have absolutely nothing at all better to do, or if you are one of those hipster douche bags that wait in long lines for a new apple product, then this is the place for you. Several probs with this establishment...first being the donughts are really subpar. You can get a equally tasting donught for half or third of the price without the 30+min wait at king soopers or safeway. If you want a better donught, then try lamars or winchell or watsons off leetsdale. The ONLY thing they have going for them is the "toppings" they put on the doughnuts. But then, all you need to do is buy a box of cereal or oreos and pour it over any doughnut and there you go. That's 3 dollars. Second, it's cash only....they must not be familar with the colfax area...not a safe spot to have tons of cash....plus for the prices of em, if you want a dozen, thats at LEAST $18 dollars plus tax. Third, is the people they have "working" there...the one and only time i was there, one register was open and the line almost streched around the block...they had several people standing around talking some trying to look busy but failing, and others just watching us. Um...how about get on a register? They have what...4 or 5 registers...methinks they want the mystique...people waiting in long lines like sheep..Fourth, menus. If you dont have a smart phone, or looked at their website(NO PRICES on the website), you wont know what to order untill your at register. I can understand them wanting to be "green" and not printing any menus, but how about printing posters with the selections and prices and putting them on the giant glass windows and on the walls so people can decide what they want BEFORE they go up to the registers? Naw...they want that image of being different and non-comformist, so they act and look like hipsters. Cannot wait till dunkin donughts comes back..and i am curious about Glazed and Confused donughts..they look better tasting and all.

  • Matt B.

    While the donuts are good, the line is only long because the employees work at the speed of slow and prefer to chat with each other than ring customers up. It's all tasty, but not "wait an hour in line" tasty.

  • Mel K.

    I have yet to try a Voodoo Doughnut because they don't have their hours of operation listed on their website, drove across town and they were closed. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I did try calling the number they have listed on the web and it goes to a full mail box. The outgoing message does not indicate that it is in fact Voodoo your calling. I thought that they would be open 24/7 since their sister stores are in OR. It would be helpful if the hours of operation were listed somewhere on the web or on their voice mail.

    This place was great! I saw them (Seattle location) on whatever food show once and had to swing by when I was in town from Kansas. I could smell the doughnuts from outside and about died from the deliciousness that entered my nostrils inside. Good thing it smelled so good since the line took me about 15mins to get through. Wasn't a big deal, but it was slow and the cashiers didn't seem to be the quickest. Ended up leaving with six doughnuts for me and my wife. They were all tasty!

  • Gary O.

    Stopped in for a quick treat on a Friday night. There was definitely a line but not too long. Finally worked our way to the front and asked the cashier what a couple of different doughnuts were. She was NOT in the mood to help or be polite. (Perhaps she was trying to be 'trendy' as in a 'oh it is so trendy to be rude and disrespectful to customers', I don't know...I don't prefer rude and disrespectful but perhaps that is why so many people go here). Ended up ordering a Captain my Captain and a mexican hot chocolate doughnut. After two more eye rolls she bagged them and I gave her cash and she gave me my change change all in change (I gave her a $10 for a $2 something bill and I got all change back...come on, seriously!) The captain my captain was pretty good. Too sweet to eat more then half. Threw the other half out (not their fault on that, just a whole lot of sugar...but tasty sugar). The mexican hot chocolate doughnut was not good. Apparently what makes it 'mexican' is cayenne pepper. Not a good combination. Took one bite and thought, 'ugh...is that cayenne pepper.'. Took another bite and verified and in the trash it went. All in all, if you are looking for a trendy spot where you stand in line forever, are treated rudely by the employees who refuse to help you without eye rolling and grunting and make you pay in cash and then give you all change back (seriously...who uses all $1 coins for change???) then go to voodoo doughnuts. It is definitely the place for you. Pretty sure I'll hit up anywhere else from here on out. Place had a lot of potential but rude employees and bad service never deserve a second chance in my opinion.

  • Sara L.

    Good donuts, creative vibe... I like it. However, there is much room for improvement in the system of getting the donut... Two biggest: 1. They need a readable menu with information about the donuts. Why not hand out a plastic menu to people in line? Or hang a big sign on the wall? The tiny tv menus don't tell you anything about the fillings/toppings. (We pulled their Oregon website's menu up on our phones.) This would cut down on the time spent asking about each donut. 2. Take turns building boxes. Assign one person to do it at a time. A cashier cannot efficiently build boxes, take orders, fill orders, and do the cash transaction. Hence, the 45 minute wait.

    (4)

  • Irenka H.

    Went, saw, had a donut. It was good. But really, how often can one eat donuts? I suppose if I lived nearby I'd swing in more often, but it's certainly not the place to go and sit and enjoy a hot cup of coffee and donut - not that I thought that it would be, just that that's what I prefer when eating donuts.

  • Heather G.

    YES, a donut is a donut. YES, donuts are cheaper at King Soopers, etc. But NO, you can not get donuts like VD's donuts anywhere else. Stop being such grumps. You know you love the Dirt, the Miami Vice, the Cock-N-Balls and the Gay Bar. Voodoo Doughnut wasn't created for you to wake up and go to buy a practical box of doughnuts. The awesomeness lay within the novelty of the place. The weird, colorful once in a while thrill. Furthermore, the staff aren't there to blow sunshine and glitter up your ass. Go to Krispy Kreme if you're going to get so butt hurt because someone isn't on the same rainbow stripe as you. KK employees are specifically trained to kiss your ass and honey, this ain't no Krispy Kreme. Don't want to spend $3.25 on a doughnut? ....then don't? There are tons of doughnuts available for under $2.00. Common sense, people. I say this with love. Quit hating on those who dare to be different just because their weirdness isn't for you and go knock yourselves out at King Soopers. :]

    I heard about Voodoo from a relative and decided to make the 1.5 mile walk from my apartment to give them a try. Be prepared to wait in line, but the wait is worth it! Also, there will be little if any seating so I'd also be prepared to get them to go. I ordered an Old Dirty Bastard, Apple Fritter, Chocolate Cake and coffee. Coffee was good, but small, the doughnuts however were just outta the park! These are the best doughnuts I've ever had. Highly recommended!

  • Thaddius B.

    Way to much hype? Yes..... Delicious donut? Yes..... Picking your donut like reading the bottom line at the eye Dr.? YES!! We waited maybe 20 minutes and there was no line outside. I think I figured it out though. Because every time the line started to get shorter a couple of the registers would close until 15 more people walked in then they would magically reopen. Making sure there is always a line just feeds the hype and the tiny screens ensure it takes everyone 3 times longer to order. These guys are genius on several levels. I had the bacon maple it was darn good but not the best donut I ever had, but I am not a huge donut guy. A great addition to Colfax and think it will also help out other bars and restaurants in the area too.

  • Jeremy B.

    We've been here twice and the donuts are very unique. There was such a variety of donuts to choose from and they were all pretty soft and tasty. We ate some of our donuts a day later and they were still soft unlike most donuts I've had before! Upon each visit there was a very long line. We visited this place when it first opened and just came back a fee months later hoping the lines would be shorter! No luck, this place is super popular and the quality of the donuts justifies it!

  • Clarissa D.

    If you are willing to wait 10 minutes or so for some phenomenal doughnuts, this place is for you. The line is not that bad at all, and it moves quickly, so be sure to know exactly what you want ahead of time (their menu is online). Voodoo does try to be efficient while giving people a memorable experience. Also, you should have cash on hand. For around 6 doughnuts it'll be around $10-$12, which isn't too bad considering the hype and doughnuts that they sell. What can I say? They're incredible. Try the Old Dirty Bastard and the Portland Cream. Next time I go, I'll try the Maple Bacon Bar for sure. Voodoo itself offers a cool environment itself, and the employees are not snobbish whatsoever. Literally though, I could only eat one doughnut a day because otherwise you get this insane sugar high, headaches, toothaches, you name it. Your sugar cravings could be cured in one bite of these. IMPORTANT NOTICE OF PARKING: Your car will be towed unless you park it in the right area. Pay attention to the signs. What I did was park in the residential areas nearby, and I didn't hang around just in case I was not allowed to park there. You just have to be cautious and pay attention to your surroundings and you'll be fine. There is nothing like Voodoo. You have to go.

    Good doughnuts, unique atmosphere, conveniently near Cheesman Park- but they wouldn't let me choose which doughnuts I wanted in my VooDoo dozen? Boo. The staff was obviously not too happy to be at work that day.

  • Julissa G.

    Decided to check out voodoo doughnuts after dinner on a late Sunday night. There was a pretty long line but it moved pretty fast. The girl that worked behind the cashier was very sweet and helped me decide on which flavors I wanted to try. The maple bacon bar did not disappoint. It was delicious! The other doughnuts I tried were a bit overwhelming for be but my boyfriend loved the chocolate glazed. I got 3 doughnuts for about $5 but they are pretty big and dense! Overall I'll be returning on my next trip to Denver.

  • Jonathan R.

    Gimmickry. Anyone can take an ordinary or unimpressive donut and smear crap on it. Here's no exception. Go to LaMar's on 6th. It's also an obnoxious environment with evil images pasted on the walls and a celebration of voodoo religion apparent everywhere. The actual donut here is nothing special with hopelessly greasy and sweet goo dumped on rather ordinary donuts.

    You know when there's a popular movie out and everyone tells you it was THE BEST MOVIE EVER. And then you see it and you're like...wait...what? That's it? Did I miss something? It's because you expected it to be amazing, and then you were disappointed. Well, my expectations for Voodoo were impossibly high. Not only do I love donuts an embarrassingly large amount, but I also have a lot of "foodie" friends in Denver and Portland who were all "VOODOO IS SOOOOO GOOD - IT'S BETTER THAN YOUR CRAPPY DONUTS - YEAH, SOOOOO MUCH BETTER." So yeah. We had to go here. And this place HAD to be ridiculous to align with my already-sky-high expectations. And well? (Slow clap) Some questions for the owners/creators: Are these donuts sprinkled with crack flakes? Is the dough mixed with unicorn tears? Well, whatever you mad scientists do to these donuts? KEEP DOING IT. I've never had such soft, doughy, flavorful, fresh donuts ever. Not to mention, the flavors are all wildly creative and crazy. But that's besides the point. Even the "boring" donuts were a real treat. My friends and I came here late Friday night over Memorial Day weekend (11:30ish) after dinner and waited in the line...but honestly, it wasn't even that bad. I mean...I guess for DONUTS it's a long time to wait. But if you just want fast donuts, pick up some Entemann's at 7-11. If you want high-quality, UNFORGETTABLE, coma-inducing, seriously sinful donuts. Wait 15 minutes. Just keep focusing on the donuts and saying "Worth it. Worth it. Worth it." It's called a mantra, people. There were 6 of us in our group, so we just ordered a dozen and sort of each took a bite of all the donuts to taste test them...for SCIENCE, guys. We were sort of ADD and had a hard time picking (sorry to hold up the line to the people behind us, but again, WORTH IT!)...and our favorites were: - Blueberry Cake doughnut (I know, I know...who orders a CAKE donut here...well we did and it wassssss the bomb. I know people don't say "the bomb" anymore, but that's why I'm saying it now. Just to emphasize how incredibly amazing it was. I'm willing to look uncool and old and totally lame just to communicate this point to you. Are you even listening anymore!?) - Marshall Mathers doughnut (I was lobbying HARD for this donut and was really happy I pushed for it. It was simple...but unforgettable). - Tangfastic doughnut (ARE THESE PEOPLE ON DRUGS!? WHO COMES UP WITH THESE AMAZING IDEAS!?) - Dirt doughnut (tasted like cookies and cream...but like in its best iteration) - No Name doughnut (yes. yes. yes.) And then we all wanted to die. Ha. No, just kidding. But seriously, this was the definition of gluttony and I loved every. Single. Second. It's a good thing I don't live in Denver or Portland or I would not be able to fit in a car.

    Wow I think some of the bad reviews on this place are a little harsh. We have been waiting to go here and finally on a Saturday the line wasn't yet out the door so we went! Everything we tried we loved. The yeast and the cake donuts here are so damn good. Yes, they're very sweet but I'm pretty sure Voodoo isn't marketing itself as the type of breakfast place you go to for healthy morning meals people. Customer service was friendly. We would def. go back.

    Not sure how this is only 3-1/2 stars. Donuts were tasty, not greasy (for being fried), and creative. We ordered: - Dirt: yeast donut (YD) vanilla frosting and Oreo - if you like Oreos you will like this. - Portland Cream: YD, chocolate, Bavarian cream filling. - voodoo doll: YD raspberry filling and chocolate with pretzel (the stake). Really good but filling was all stuck on bottom portion. Didn't go through the whole donut like I think it was supposed to. - Memphis mafia: a fritter with banana and came with a bunch of toppings (chocolate, peanut butter, glaze, choco chips, and some nuts). Our least favorite but not terrible. Pretty sweet but they skimped on the banana and I didn't taste the cinnamon sugar it was supposed to have. I feel like they could have done without the glaze. The peanut butter and chocolate was tasty. Almost like a melted Reese's on a donut. :-). Cash only so come prepared.

    Not from scratch any more than King Soopers. Flavor combos end up being mostly sugar-on-sugar... No 'just out of the fryer' goodness like Krispy Kreme. The only remarkable thing about this place is the marketing success story and I suppose the pen. shaped donut. You can get cereal or bacon covered donuts at King Soopers now. I bet if I went out into the line of drunk / stoned people at 1am and did a taste test challenge, few could tell the difference.

    1. You will stand in line FOR A LONG TIME! 2. Bring cash! 3. If you leave without the Old Dirty Bastard, you'll regret it. 4. If you leave with an Old Dirty Bastard, you'll regret it, because you'll realize how addictive they are, and that in order to get more, you'll have to stand in that long line again.

    It was surreal going to the Denver Voodoo Doughnuts. I was getting used to this only being a Portland and Oregon institution. Not only that I spent a lot of time in this neighborhood while living in and around Denver so it is just weird seeing Voodoo Doughnuts right off of Colfax. Not that I don't welcome it! It's awesome that it is here but most of my very good friends live in Denver so taking them to Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland does not have as much novelty as it once did. I find it odd that the owner decided on Denver though as his out of state location. He went to plenty of research going all over the country and abroad deciding where to open another location and Denver won out in his mind! I really liked this location and the atmosphere has all the strange quirks that Voodoo is known for. The store had barriers up to prepare for long lines during certain times of the day and week but a friend and I got in with ease. There was just a small line which dissipated quickly. It appears there are some kinds of doughnuts at this location that the other locations may not have. For example I believe they had doughnuts with "Colfax" and "Mile High" in the doughnut's title. I got a dozen doughnuts to take back to my family in Fort Collins and got a nice variety. I knew no one would eat the Bubblegum flavored doughnut I got so I ate that one and loved it! The Old Dirty Bastard was very good too! My mom seemed to take to these doughnuts the most more than anyone else so I am glad she enjoyed how tasty these doughnuts are!

  • John S.

    I've been trying to diet on vacation (huge mistake) and have avoided this place for a whole month while in Denver, but I broke down today and enjoyed the vanilla oreo cookie concoction (name?) and it was incredible! The best part was that there was no line when I went in around 1:30 PM on a Friday. I must have just missed the lunch crowd, I feel so lucky! It's a must do if you are in Denver.

    Never have been a huge donut lover, but was told to try this place. I got the voodoo doll, and it was delicious! I was surprised when the doll started to "bleed" out. It really is as great as everyone makes it out to be.

  • Skeeba G.

    I live right by Voodoo and am always baffled when there are lines going out the door and around the block. I just don't get the hype! The doughnuts are overly sweet, the icing is overly sweet, and then they add super sugary toppings on top of all of that? It's a sugar overload and just ends up tasting gross. And this is coming from someone who loves sugary desserts! I did like their Mexican Chocolate doughnut, but not surprisingly it's probably because it's a plain cake doughnut not overloaded with 2+ layers of super sugary toppings. The store might be considered "wheelchair accessible" meaning there's no step up into the store, but calling it accessible is laughable considering how narrow and winding the line is. One time I brought in a friend in a wheelchair and we were the only people in the store. We were visibly struggling to get in the store and through the line, and the people behind the counter just watched. Uh, thanks, guys. It being cash only doesn't help either. I never carry cash, so to say having had to get cash out to buy unpalatable doughnuts was annoying and a waste would have been an understatement.

    Now that I have actually visited this location I felt like I needed to update my review. The location is perfect. Right off Colfax with metered parking, and side street parking as well. It is a cash only place, but they have an ATM in side just in case. Some nights there will be a line, and other times you will walk right in and order. It is all just pure luck if there isn't a line. As for the doughnuts, one of my favorites is still the Old Dirty Bastard with crumbled Oreos and drizzled peanut butter on top. I also really enjoyed the Memphis Mafia doughnut (it is actually a Fritter). The Fritter was a bit greasy, and good to share with another person, but it was delicious. As a side note- and a tip for wedding planners. I was at a wedding this past weekend where Voodoo Doughnuts was the dessert. Best wedding dessert ever. It is recognizable to the guests, and VERY tasty. And everyone got to choose their doughnut of choice from the large selection they had available. Great idea, and memorable.

    Fun fun place I'm on a quest to try them all. I know they are bad for you but live a lite and enjoy. Not in the most attractive are if Denver but still pretty safe. Brings. Sweet memories from when I lived in Portland . Be ready to make a line but this gives you time to drool and decide what you will try.

  • Luke H.

    Service is snappy when there are long lines, so don't be afraid to wait. They are friendly and helpful, which is necessary to navigate such a long, coded menu of amazing options. I'm not sure how anyone could give this less than five stars; it is way better than Lamar's, Krispy Kreme, Top Pot, or any other place that I've ever been to. Obviously the best doughnuts-donuts in Denver.

  • Michael P.

    Finally made it in after turning away several times due to long lines and bad weather. We picked up a dozen to share with friends and just about every one was amazing. The maple bacon bar is a great combo of sweet an savory, albeit a little heavy (have a glass of milk handy). The Portland cream was one of my favs and I actually hate cream filled doughnuts in general. The cereal style doughnuts are quite good as well, many places make them too sweet but I thought they were well balanced. Only a few negatives. Parking is a nightmare and they only take cash (there is an ATM on site). The waits can be ridiculous, especially during this honeymoon period, and I certainly wouldn't wait an hour or more. But if you can get in quickly it's one of the best doughnut places in Denver and definitely worth a visit.

  • Cathleen I.

    Waited in line for 10 minutes and ordered 12 donuts...for just hubby and me. We got 4 maple bacon bars and they were AMAZING. The bacon was crispy and the overall doughnut was the right amount of sweet and salty. We also ordered the blueberry cam doughnut which was also delicious. It had a creme glaze that was amazing. The other doughnuts were yummy but nothing special. The prices were wonderful too! P.S. We ordered 2 sodas and they do NOT have regular soda flavors.

    I actually didn't have to wait in line for my voodoo doughnut, ha ha! Sorry to all those poor customers who had to wait in the long lines. So, I can understand a staff that's snotty when the place is packed and they're running around because they're busy...that'll make a lot of minimum wage workers unhappy, I get it. And granted this is probably not your dream to work the counter at a doughnut shop, but come on! Be a little less snotty! I understand, this is probably not your dream job, but that's not the customer's fault. Plus, when I went, it wasn't busy, ha ha. Ok, so to continue, I purchased the mixed dozen of their choice, just to try a little mix of everything. Yes, I ate them right then and there as soon as I bought them, ha ha. The McMinnville Cream doughnut stood out as my favorite. Cream filled yeast with maple frosting. Definitely my favorite. The M&M's cake doughnut was another simple, but delicious combo. Sadly, the yeast doughnuts weren't quite as fresh tasting. I know I went at 12:30 am, but for as much as these doughnuts cost, you'd think they'd be a little more amazing. I think Lamar's Donuts are actually better in my opinion. If you want a place that has *unique* doughnuts, then Voodoo is great. And they're open 24 hours so if you get that hankerin' for a fried, sugary treat with a hole, awesome. Overall, it's good, just not as amazing as all the hype, but probably worth going if you happen to be in the neighborhood.

    The Bavarian crème filled donuts are good--well the Bavarian cream makes them good. I recommend going to their website before going---it has names and descriptions of all the donuts. I was not impressed with the fritter that has peanut butter, banana, etc---I think it's an Elvis thing if I remember right---the tastes were too enmeshed and you couldn't even taste the banana. Last time I was there I looked into the donut case and there was the cock and balls --it was WAY bigger than the picture on the website. I thought about all that Bavarian cream inside. I had already picked out enough donuts , so the cock and balls will have to wait for next time.

    FUCKING TERRIBLE! Some guy tried to tow your car in the back parking lot! Literally got out of my car parked in back of voodoo donuts not seeing a sign at all. Walked to the front of the building. Turned around and headed back to the car. When we approached our car a tow truck practically ran us over. He told us it was against the law to take our car cause we had broken the law for parking there. We were so taken back that we almost watched this a hole take our car. We jumped in our car a drive away. It's such a scam.

    While driving by Voodoo doughnuts, I saw that the line was not outside the door and wrapped around the block, so I cut across 2 lanes of traffic to see what I was missing. Ordered a "Maple Bacon Bar" and an "Ol Dirty Bastard" hoped back in my car and headed towards the gym while I devoured the raised doughnuts with a side of love handles, But I didn't stop with just eating one. I was the ridiculous man standing outside my gym door finishing stuffing my face before going in to work off that double chin. It was worth every bite and I will be going back to explore other areas that this yeasty treat can clog on in the vessels of my doughnut loving heart. a side of LIPITOR ®

    I stopped in just before 6:00AM on a Monday and there was no line. Sweet! I ordered a simple mixed dozen and took out a $20 to pay my $10.75 doughnut bill. The cashier shoved some change into my hand and announced: "Your change is $9.25." Then she quickly walked to the back, out of sight. Well the number sounded correct to me, but by the time I looked down and realized I was a $5 bill short and looked up again, she was gone. Luckily another worker was still standing there and saw that I didn't pocket the $5 before I protested that I was short. Worker number two called back worker number one and corrected the error. Now once upon a time (not so long ago) there were few debit cards and people had to pay their bills with either cash or a check. In this (not so) ancient time, cashiers were required to count back change. In those days the cashier would have taken my $20 bill and counted back the change to me -- starting with the billed amount and counting back up to 20: $10.75, $11, $12, $13, $14, $15, $20. Had this new breed of cashier known this (not so) ancient ritual, this awkward situation could have been avoided. But with the advent of the debit card, cashiers have lost the skill to properly count back change. But even in these modern times, if a business insists on refusing debit cards and accepting only cash, the business should instill this ancient skill back into its workforce. The customers would appreciate it. Oh yeah, and the donuts are ok -- kind of over rated. They're just donuts, after all.

    Way overpriced donuts. They taste like regular yeast and cake donuts with cereal on it. Pretty disappointed. I don't understand the hype. CASH ONLY!! Their ATM sucks and takes a decade to finally get your cash.

    I don't get the lines, quite honestly. I went there with my parents while they were visiting, and none of us were thrilled. The doughnuts were fine, but not great. The two we got with cream filling had huge sections with no filling, and the one I had with rice krispies on top seemed to have stale cereal. Add to that the long unrestrained facial hair on the guys serving us (I have no problem with beards, but I don't want to wonder if I'm going to eat it), and I doubt I'll return.

    These doughnuts are a must have. So many options. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for the customer service. They're not rude but not incredibly friendly either. ...until you put money in their tip jar.

    A lot of hype and a long line. Fun and unique toppings, for sure, but the donuts were just alright. For the price and the wait I would expect more. Their fillings are not at all evenly dispensed within the donut. Both the toppings and the fillings are overly sweet - and I like sweet! If you are drunk and downtown this is an awesome destination; if you are looking for a great treat, head somewhere else.

    totally worth it in my opinion. waiting in line late at night is part of the experience. it is that place for me when i am on colfax on the other-side of the road and i do not see a line, i u-turn right quick and pick some up randomly. my apologies for cutting you off. have tried almost everything by this point besides the one with fruit loops. i hate fruit loops.

  • Jodie R.

    I have to agree with a lot of the other reviews on here, I don't really see what the big deal about these donuts is. We got donuts from here only once so I should give it a second try. However, the ones I did try were greasy and left a film in my mouth. Not to mention they were super super sweet. More so than a normal donut outta be. I am going to give them 2 stars due to their creativity and wide variety of donut flavors. But as far as the actual taste, "meh, I've had better." We got Peanut butter banana and an iced tea and lemonade flavored one. They were interesting to say the least, but unique, and for that I've got to give it to them. I'm more of just a plain glazed or sprinkle donut lady. So the fact that they didn't have any regular flavors when we went was a disappointment. Who knows. This place always has a line outside when I drive by, but Krispy Cream used to as well.

  • Hunter S.

    Well, we did it. The wifey and I walked to VooDoo the other day to taste the hype. I must apologize to some fellow Yelpers who painted a clear picture of this place. We read the negative reviews but had to experience it for ourselves. As many other Yelpers before us, I am merely restating what has already been said. Long line, can't read the menu, apathetic/hipster (are these words synonymous?) employees, overpriced, etc., etc. Will not be revisiting this place.

  • Samantha P.

    Went because of all the hype. Line out the door, no matter what time of the day. If you go late, donuts aren't fresh and there is no selection. CASH ONLY, which is absurd. You can't pick what donuts you'd like. You either get the expensive dozen, which is all their "specialty donuts" or you can get the regular dozen (which is still $16) and you can't pick which donuts you'd like. You heard me right. They pick for you. I was in complete shock when I ordered, excuse me, didn't order, because you can't order. All I wanted was a maple bacon bar, and they let me order one, but it had to be on the side of the already dozen of donuts that I ordered. They're good donuts, except they're covered in so much stuff you can barely eat one donut. Oh, and the place is filthy. The floors are sinking and there's huge puddles everywhere. Not worth it, in my opinion.

  • Carlie R.

    Absolutely amazing donuts!! Yes, there was a line out the door but the line moved fairly quickly, even for a Saturday evening. The donuts were reasonably priced. Most of donuts ranged between $1 to $1.50 with an exception of the larger specialty donuts. I can see where the cash only policy would be an inconvenience but the overall experience compensates for this slight inconvenience. The staff was friendly and answered any questions we had. Voodoo will definitely become a staple in my future trips to Denver.

  • Shel M.

    I am not basing on their donuts since they were CLOSED! No phone number available, no listing on main VooDoo site, loaded up 4 boys to drive 30-45 min to Colfax location that claims open 24 hours/7 days (shown online at urbanspoon & advertised on TV) and when we arrived PAPER HANDWRITTEN SIGN CLAIMING "Closed until Weds at 6am." It is Monday at 9am! All the hype over this place and they aren't even open for business as stated? Very disappointed and a complete waste of time today!!!!

    cash touches food. zombified staff. they don't serve donuts, they just make boxes. funny to laugh at the zombies, though. A health hazard: The person who handles the cash is the same person who grabs your donuts to put in the box. Without washing their hands. I think that is enough said, but if you need more reason for me to save you from wasting your time with this joke of a place I have several other reasons to definitely skip voodoo donuts. "The Line" the line is a big con...don't let it fool you as you drive by on Colfax...they must be paying those dopes to stand in line. Perhaps the theme of 'voodoo' is portrayed by having zombies work there. The only girl actually working (out of 6 people) was folding boxes whilst she was encased in a castle of 20 already made boxes. Meanwhile one customer triumphs with donuts every 10 to 15 minutes due to the non-existent "giving a damn about customers or anyone giving anyone donuts" vibe. There are No Donuts, just boxes. Then she carried 5 boxes to the back wall where my eyes feasted on 300 empty voodoo donut boxes already made...*mind blown*. Time to grab those donuts, honey. A great time overall. We laughed at the zombie "service" and the weirdo in line who was holding a carrier with her cat inside while in line. Basically, at the end of the day we would have been in line with a cat at a donut shop for like an hour...so beware that when you step foot into voodoo donuts you, too, become a zombie, which is hazardous to your health. Along with dolla dolla bills on your donuts.

    We were able to stop in here after a night of drinking at some bars in the area. It was about 1:00 am on a Sunday, so there were only a couple people ahead of us in line. We had passed the place around 11:00 pm and the line was almost out the door! Really people, it's a freaking doughnut!! Anyways, the chick that helped us was nice enough and answered a few quick questions we had before we settled on a few doughnuts. We had about $10.00 in quarters leftover from our visit to 1UP, so I did apologize to her in advance for having to pay in quarters. She didn't seem to mind and said she needed quarters anyways. We got a voodoo doll, an ODB and the maple bacon bar. The total was in the $8.00 range, which seems ludicrous to me that anyone would pay that much for 3 doughnuts! However, I figured if they were good then I could justify the price. Well, unfortunately the doughnuts were mediocre and definitely not worth the price. They were too sweet, kinda gummy, and really just overdone. I doubt I will head back anytime soon since I'm not a patient person, so standing in line for a doughnut will never happen and I also don't think the hype translated to the quality of the product. If someone brought them to my house and I was hungry enough, I might try one again, but I won't be wasting my time or money getting them myself.

    The key to a successful trip to Voodoo Doughnuts is to go during non-peak times. I was told before 6 a.m. and from 7-9 p.m. I went at 4:35 a.m. on Sunday because of a meeting (free parking on Sundays) and there were 3 people ahead of me. (Who gets up at 4 a.m. on a Sunday?) I waited about 15 minutes & was able to leave by 5 a.m. The 2nd tip is to go on-line before you get there and figure out what you want to order because it's impossible to read the fine print on the wall. You need to bring binoculars or opera glasses to read what you want to order. I handed my list of 22 doughnuts to a girl w/pink hair who entered them into the cash register. (There is only one person taking orders.) She then carefully and conscientiously placed the doughnuts in the pink boxes so that they wouldn't get scrunched. Then I paid a whopping $48+ cash for the doughnuts. I didn't get to try all the doughnuts, of course, but if you're buying for a group of folks, it's a good idea to bring a plastic knife or kitchen shears so that you can try a variety of different doughnuts. I would skip the garden variety doughnuts; you can get them at other doughnut places. It's the combination of toppings with their different textures that make all the difference here. Some doughnuts can be divided into four pieces such as the apple fritter (hardly any apples), and maybe the peach fritter (delicious w/the cream cheese frosting). In any event, these cholesterol and calorie laden doughnuts are so rich you can't eat much for very long. I liked the Captain Crunch, the Raspberry Romeo. I'm not a sprinkle person so I scraped off the red sprinkles on the Maple Blazer Blunt. The yeast dough was very fresh. Would I return here again? Probably not if I have to stand in a very long line and pay cash. But what I had was delicious and fun to try.

    Omg!! They are so nice and I didn't feel rushed. There are so many awesome types of donuts to pick from and they are all amazing. I just moved to CO and I know this is my new fav spot!! Maple bacon, you better do it;)

  • Michael S.

    I've had Winchell's, Dunkin's, Crispy Cream and all of the others. I have to whole-kindheartedly disagree with the reviews that state that Voodoo is over-rated. I'm no cop, but I know my doughnuts, and Voodoo's are the best I've had. Sure, every concept isn't going to be for everyone. Just because the Colfax Cream and Grape Ape rocked my world, doesn't mean it will rock yours. But, I'm confident that if you get the nut of dough most similar to your usual favorite, you too will be a fan of Voodoo. I mean, the voodoo they do, they do so well, that people will wait in lines for that sweet sugary crack-like fix. Yay. Colfax.

    Maple Bacon Bar. Do I need to say more? There is usually a line and it's cash only, but they do have an ATM inside. Last time I was there was 2:30am and there was a monster line, but got a dozen and was so pleased with myself in the morning. Line moves quickly, doughnuts are delicious.

  • Kellie A.

    I have to admit I was skeptical of the hype. What the heck could be so great about a jelly filled doughnut in the shape of a Voodoo doll? And then I tried one. The dough is soft, tender and flavorful. The jelly filling is incredible, tart and not too sweet. It's orgasmic. The Memphis Mafia (chocolate banana peanut butter) is my favorite. They're huge, so I cut them into thirds and freeze the extra for future consumption. I'm also a huuuuge fan of the Mexican chocolate cake doughnut. The spicy factor really makes it unique. I've never had to wait in line longer than 10 minutes, but I don't generally go at peak hours. I've never had trouble parking, and the staff is always friendly. Be aware, they are cash only! Well worth the visit.

  • Annette M.

    These donuts are really good. I would not go out of my way but I was in the area and waiting for the sushi spot next door to open so... I caved and bought 8 to go. My favorite was the Peach fritter. So rich you need to split it with someone. My kiddos love the Mango Tango. The rest I could have done without. Around 11am on a Friday we stood in line for about 8-10 minutes. I can imagine how long the lines are in the morning. Best news we did not eat the donuts until the next day and they were still super moist, even on the outside. So if you bother to wait in line buy extras and go for the full sugar coma.

    Long line.... I was there on a Friday night at 10 pm and the line was out the door. It seem to move along fairly quickly though. Tons of unique donuts. I don't really eat many donuts so I'm not a donuts expert! Voodoo doll - Looks cool, not as good as the pictures though. Pretty much like a chocolate bar with jelly filled. Pretty tasty. Mexican hot chocolate - Best donut I've had in awhile. Spicy, not to sweet, and great texture.

  • Shea W.

    Let me preface this by saying, I don't like donuts. Like really almost at all. But Voodoo has mastered the donut! I've been 3 times, so this is by no means an expert review. However, I do live near here so I have some tips for you. When it first opened we went in the winter on a freezing cold -15 degree night and there was no line! The times when you would think people want donuts? The line can go around the block. But I was just there on a Thursday night at 7:30 and there was no one at all. Hit or miss and honestly not too busy to give it a try! I suggest asking the person helping you what their favorite donut is and getting it! Example: I never would have gotten the buttermilk bar but a girl told me if was her favorite and now it is one of my favorites!! Other favorites: Old Dirty Bastard, Mexican Hot Chocolate, BACON MAPLE BAR...Those are my 3 faves.

  • Kelly T.

    Maybe it's because I'm not a doughnut aficionado, maybe it's because I don't eat doughnuts all that often, or perhaps it's because, brace yourself, I don't really LOVE doughnuts. Whatever the reason, I wasn't really blown away by Voodoo. OH GOD! I KNOW! PLEASE DON'T PULL OUT YOUR PITCHFORKS! I got a few of them to share over the course of the weekend and, yeah, they were good, but, I mean, it's deep friend dough. It's hard to really screw that up. And they certainly didn't. So, yeah, I ate most of my doughnuts. They didn't make me sad. I have no regret. But my mind didn't literally explode out the back of my head when I bit into one, which I half expected given the hype. Still totally alive.

  • Jerad L.

    Soooooooo OVER-HYPED! Not impressed whatsoever. Everyone rants & raves about this place, but I quite frankly just don't see it. I've been here twice now, & both times were a letdown. I've gotten a dozen of different doughnuts during each visit, hoping to find the "right doughnut for me." I love doughnuts (my favorite is Dunkin' Donuts strawberry frosted), but this place is lame because they OVERDO IT. They put too much stuff on every doughnut & try to make them look cool, but they don't taste good. Both times, I found myself eating 3 to 4 bites of each doughnut, then throwing them out. There are better places to get your doughnuts, Denver.

  • Yvonne L.

    I've always wanted to try this place but everytime I go by there is usually a huge line. I stopped into Streets of London across the street (they have great prices on pints) and noticed there was NO line at Voodoo. "What great luck!" I thought... I walk in and to my surprise there is no line inside either! I tell the cashier of my surprise and the excitement of my first time. I go for the most expensive dozen (a dozen of their most popular...I forget what they call it) PLUS a 'Rappers Delight' (3 nuts named after rappers) for a total of 15. The girl asked "Do you want it all in one box?" I replied "Uh, sure if they'll be alright like that" I happily take my box of doughnuts home for a group doughnut sampling to discover them all smashed together with parchment paper sticking to all the frosting. My guests were not impressed. AND I'M SO FLIPPING MAD THAT WE CAN'T EVEN ENJOY THESE RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE DOUGHNUTS!!!! We still begrudgingly ate them, and they were tasty. But I am still so upset at the mishandling of my nuts.

  • Jacob F.

    Pretty awesome donut spot. My wife brought home a box full of them and I ate up their Crushed Oreo donut in about 3 seconds. It was amazing. The way they design some of them is pretty hilarious. The only knock I have on them is the price, but it's worth it to try at least once.

  • Pauline L.

    The best thing I ate while visiting Denver. Came by on Sunday afternoon and only had to wait a few minutes. So many options - the menu isn't descriptive at all - most donuts are called a random name so I wish they had paper menus with descriptions you could read while you wait on line and know what you want to order by the time you get to the cashier. But the staff is really friendly and helpful anyway. I just asked if they had something with custard and another with jelly. He knew right away which two were the ones I would like. What's nice is that both donuts came with a choice of frosting/topping. With the custard, I chose chocolate over maple and with the raspberry, I got the glazed over the powdered. Both donuts were huge and tasty. The fillings were generous and not too sweet like the fake sugar/syrup other places use. And it's cheap! The ones I got are only a bit more than DD so I think it's worth it to have a better tasting donut. My husband got the one with bacon which is $3 and I think that's pretty standard for "fancy" non-chain donut places .. although they could be getting there as they open up more locations.

  • Sara H.

    This place was packed on a Saturday morning around 10:30. Voodoo is cash only!! I wish I would have done my research before getting in line as I only had $8. I ended up getting 5 donuts for $7.50. Not bad! The only reason I am giving Voodoo 4 stars is I was disappointed in the Old Dirty Bastard (Oreos, chocolate frosting, and PB) I thought the topping was dry and a little stale but everything else was delish! Will for sure be back when I have out-of-towners visiting!

  • Lily R.

    On my recent trip to Denver, four different people told me I had to go to Voodoo Doughnuts. They were correct. Appropriately located next to a marijuana dispensary and a tattoo parlor, and open 24 hours a day, this place has about 20 creative donut flavors at any given time. I tried the Neapolitan (chocolate cake donut with strawberry icing and marshmallows), the voodoo doll (raised donut with raspberry jelly, representing blood, chocolate icing, and a pretzel dagger), and something else that was basically an immense apple fritter with chocolate and peanut butter icing on top. Each was unique, high-quality, and delicious. Extremely sweet, I could only eat about the equivalent of half a donut at a sitting. Heavy on the icing. I particularly liked the cake donut, which was soft but crispy on the outside. Would love to go back and try the many other flavors.

  • Alison M.

    This place is all about the hype and novelty. If you go here thinking it's not, well I don't know what to tell you. There are plenty of other places that make equal or better donuts, for the same price or less, that do not require a lengthy wait. However, that doesn't mean that Voodoo doesn't make good donuts - I certainly had some during my last visit to Denver. They just aren't the best donuts ever. A friend and I arrived here on a Saturday evening around 5 pm. The line was outside the door and we questioned whether it was worth the wait or if we'd even get through given we crunched for time. We decided to give it a shot to see how fast things were moving and I'm glad we did. It was a decent day outside - not too cold in April, so wasn't bad to stand in line and chat. The line moved fairly fast - you can tell the staff is used to this type of busyness on a regular basis as they went about their work unfazed. Given many people show up in groups and order together, you arrive at your register fairly fast (in this case, 20 minutes). We ordered a few donuts to eat immediately and some to take to friends. The peanut donut with chocolate frosting was delicious (I'm a big cake donut fan). The blueberry donut that I tried later was too sweet due to the amount of icing on it. The cake portion of this seemed sweet enough on its own - I don't know if it even needed any. We ordered an Arnold Palmer and I was disappointed it wasn't more conceptual. I thought the cake donut part might be lemon with some type of sweet tea frosting, but it was a basic donut with drink mix sprinkled on top (definitely sweet and disappointing). We ordered more, but I can't recall what they were except for the old-fashioned, which was what I would have expected. The vibe here is fun - quirky art, tattooed workers, and people just having a good time. All donuts are to go though (with no seating outside), so plan accordingly. It was a fun trip there and great to spend time with my friend. If I'd been in Denver alone, I definitely would have skipped the wait in order to hang out at a cool coffee shop or brewery instead.

    Voodoo Doughnut!! I've heard so many things of this great place from Portland. I knew I had to make it a point to get a doughnut.. or dozen for that matter whilst I was in Denver. This location is 24/7, but during the weekends the lines looked crazy long.. I also tried going pretty late at night and it was still a long wait. I opted to just come back on a Monday morning before any sort of crowd would form - I got there and even though only 1 other customer was in front - it was still going slow.. I feel as if it just runs slowly in general - but besides the point; the donuts! They have so many different unique doughnuts, I just couldn't choose. I decided to just go with the fryers? dozen (apparently their most popular selections) Out of those, I tried the voodoo filled donut ,the old dirty bastard (oreo topped donut with a peanut butter drizzle, and the bacon maple bar) oh these were so good! the bacon maple bar was just right, sweet and savory - my favorite! I'll be back next time im in Denver, but never during peak hours. Good doughnuts and all my coworkers i brought some back to Texas to loved em!

  • Zeb M.

    3.5 stars. Voodoo is kind of overhyped, but I get it because these are donuts unlike anything else you've ever tried. I mistakenly ordered two for myself and I could barely eat the entire first one because it was way too sickening; so I grazed on the rest over the next day or two. I came on a Saturday morning, which I'm sure is one of their busiest times, but the 15-20 minute wait wasn't bad at all as the line goes quickly. However, they may want to invest in a sign that asks their customers to keep the door closed when the line is out the door because every two minutes the counter girl would (politely) yell to close it, and if you're there for 20 minutes, you're tired of hear screaming it 10 times. Anyway, I would definitely recommend Voodoo to any donut or sweet lover who's never been, and since they're open 24/7 I'll be back for a midnight snack, which may bump my rating up to 4 stars. Until then, I haven't been completely wowed yet.

    Let me preface this review by saying how much I absolutely love sweets. Especially donuts. I do not love voodoo donuts. Both times I was lucky enough to try them, they were brought into my office by someone else. I've gone to the store a couple of different times, but I don't do lines. So we left. This most recent time I had a donut from voodoo it was the voodoo doll. I ate it, then excuse me when I say this, spent the rest of the day burping an oily glaze after taste. It was definitely gross. The previous time of eating the donut I got a bad stomach ache the rest of the day and so did my coworker. No more voodoo for me. Rather eat King soopers donuts.

  • Heather N.

    I love donuts. Like, it's almost embarrassing how much I love them. Several friends couldn't believe that I hadn't tried Voodoo so this morning I drove a bit out of my way after a DIA drop off to experience the goodness that is Voodoo. My experience is summed up with "meh". I didn't think the donuts were all that good. Super sickingly sweet. I got an old fashioned glazed & it was so sweet there wasn't any flavor but sweet. My girls got bubble gum donuts & they were even sweeter than mine. The lack of seating was a huge bummer, we would've loved to have been able to hang out in the shop {it's really fun with lots to see} and eat. Instead, we took these ooey gooey bubble gum donuts into my car & I prayed the icing would stay off the upholstery. There was about 1/2 cup of excess frosting on each donut. I would say, go to Voodoo for the experience but maybe not for the donuts.

    I'm in there at 3 am. Thanks Insomnia and sugar cravings. So I never experience the long lines and mania! Even at 3am or 243am if you're a nit picker. The donut tenders are attentive and cool people, they get you your donuts, know their shit and are friendly without giving you the feeling they are hyped up on their own donuts. Try the Arnold Palmer it's my favorite. I always get a regular glazed and they're always fresh. The music is always loud and weird but I'd never expect anything less from a place born out of Portland. Though I'm sure that's got more to do with staying awake while 3am donut making than anything.

    I always loved reading articles talking about the places with the best doughnuts in the nation. When I found out one the places was 2 blocks south of where I lived, I was kind of excited. And when I found out it was 24/7, I was even more excited. When I did go, my scheduled work hours were about the exact opposite of what they are now. So getting doughnuts early morning on the weekends was not out of the picture. Oh yea, speaking of times to go- I would go anytime during dinner or anytime from 1A-4A. 5,6AM seem to be a solid time to go. At least then, the line is much shorter, and the people are presumably sober. Nothing is worse than standing in a line of 30 drunk people trying to order from a huge variety of doughnuts. When you do find this place (its pink, hard to miss, near Colfax/Park), try to park out front. I don't really know where else to tell you. Makes you wonder where all of the people in the lines parked. This place is cash only, so if you didn't bring any, they have an ATM. The variety is so big here, I would suggest looking at the menu online before you go, or just getting the fryer flyer combo- which is 13 of their most popular doughnuts, for 25$. Mind you, it is a lot of food. It has a mix of yeast and cake doughnuts, along with plenty of cereal varieties. A lot of food, especially for one person (did I already say that?). My favorite overall doughnut here is the maple bacon doughnut. I could eat 3 and then go into a food coma. They also have a Boylan's (very cool) drink fountain and have a few other drinks for sale. When I went to get food, the people seemed pretty friendly to me. I assume the staff would get aggravated having to deal with a drunk person asking about each one of their 50+ flavors. Hell, I would have no patience and probably kick them out. So yea, if you want, do your homework and get here at a decent hour- it is worth checking out. I give them high marks for their creativity, but, in this day and age with so many doughnut options out there, it just didn't melt my heart like some other places have.

    I don't want to love Voodoo as much as I love Voodoo, but I can't help it. I don't want to love it because everyone loves it and somehow I feel like I want to go against the grain and not bite into the trend, but people love Voodoo for good reason: the doughnuts are just. so. good. I always order the Captain My Captain and a plain with chocolate icing. God, I'm sitting here drooling just thinking about it. They get knocked a star because of how gruff the staff is. Either these guys don't hire well, have a toxic working environment, or just put their staff through hell. Every single time I've been in, the person at the counter is disgruntled or grumpy as hell. This makes no sense, you are working with doughnuts.

    So thankful this iconic establishment decided to enter the Denver market. Best doughnuts around with a great atmosphere. Go with the maple-bacon or the classic Voodoo Doughnut and you wont be disappointed!

    We stop here every time we come Denver. It's a tradition now! They are always busy, but it's worth the wait. I had the Memphis mafia this time around and ate through the guilt. It was so worth it! Bring cash because they are cash only.

    Voodoo Doughnuts is a perfect example of how the media can manipulate people. We have all heard about Voodoo from the Food Network, Travel Network, or on social media outlets. They talk about Voodoo doughnuts as if it's a place which was lifted down from Mt. Olympus as a gift to mankind, from the gods. I have been to the one in Portland and now the one in Denver. Guess what....? Voodoo Donuts is nothing more than your average doughnut shop. They have unique doughnuts but that doesn't make them exceptional. I bought a dozen handpicked doughnuts so that I could sample all of the crazy ideas. I got a maple bar with bacon, doughnuts covered in cereal, and even one that was neatly decorated as a voodoo doll. They all looked really awesome but nothing like the ones that you think you are getting in the display case. While the doughnuts look exciting, the uniqueness ends at decoration. The dough, filling, and glazes all taste the same as any other doughnut you have ever eaten. Without the fruit loops and lucky charms there would be nothing special. Unlike the Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, this location had a very short line. There was 3 people that were in front of us when we walked in the door. For some reason, despite the short lines they still had the stanchions out. Making you feel like you are waiting in a line at Disneyland. The process to order donuts is entirely too long! and they only take cash. It's the 21st century and this is supposed to be a successful business. I think it's time to embrace the method of payment that most people use nowadays. The other thing that I think makes this place frustrating is that they have no seating for their customers. You have to take your food and leave. This seemed really weird for a doughnut shop. I would think that some people would enjoy sitting down with a doughnut and a coffee as opposed to eating on the run or in their car. Overall, I was very unimpressed with Voodoo Doughnuts. The ideas and decorations seemed more like a gimmick than a higher quality product. I guess going here is more to just say you did it. The average person will probably end up trying it once and then venturing out to a different place to fulfill their doughnut craving. Without the media attention Voodoo got, I would imagine there wouldn't be one here in Denver.

    If you are craving voodoo donuts but are maybe too high to go outside or something then here is a quick make at home substitute: take a cereal bowl out of the cabinet, fill to top with granulated sugar. Empty container of dunkin Hines frosting on top. Cover with marshmallows. Feel your teeth melt out.

    I absolutely love donuts so I have heard a lot of hype about this place. It's one of those, you just have to try it, type of donut places. I thought it was a bit overhyped but it was still really good, but not to the point where I would wait over an hour for this place. I waited around 25 minutes which was not bad at all. I do think, however, that there should be menus or something so that people can figure out their choices before they get up to the front to order. I think that would make it more efficient and it would also make the line go much faster. But the donuts are pretty good - I would recommend the Captain my Captain donut and the Loop donut. Even the non-specialty ones are delicious! I would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

    I came here on a late night craving because I'd never tried the place, so the line was not out the door like it usually is. And I'm happy it wasn't because the wait in line for these doughnuts definitely isn't worth it. They're not necessarily over priced, they're just bad quality! I could've made better doughnuts with no knowledge of how. I bought a variety box which includes all of their most favorable flavors (which was somewhere around $25) and I only really liked about 3 of them!! It would've been worth the money if the doughnuts didn't taste like a 6 year old put them together. On a good note the people were friendly..didn't see much of a sanitary kitchen or workers with gloves soooo....that's concerning. I would go back to get the 1. Grape Ape Doughnut 2. Miami Vice Berry Doughnut 3. Voodoo Doll Doughnut But if there's a long line...fat chance of me stopping in. BTW there's a parking lot RIGHT behind the place...do NOT park there, it looks tempting because its close and empty but its empty for a reason, so don't think you're lucky. Within the 20 min span of me being there, 3 cars were towed because it's not a parking lot for voodoo! I swear the tow trucks just sat there waiting for someone to park there.

    5 stars for selection of donuts, location, uber friendly service, knowledgeable staff and efficiency of staff. The value??? mehhh well I think the average price is $2 per donut so a bit high but totally worth it. Depending on the time of day, the line at this joint could be around the corner. Again, totally worth the wait! I tried 10 different donuts from the maple bacon to voodoo. And pretty much everything in between. Thanks for the great taste, I gained 10 lbs from eating all the donuts. I obviously didn't finish all 10 in one day so I had to finish them in day 2 with fear that the donuts will get stale... they didn't! They were still good!!! Must Have: pothole donut (bavarian cream filled), voodoo (jelly filled) and their fritters (apple or banana/peanut butter)

  • Julie L.

    The doughnuts here live up to the hype. They are fresh and last a couple of days. I had the Miami Vice, which was my favorite. It's a raised doughnut with colorful marshmallowy topping. The line is sometimes long but not too bad and they only take cash.

  • Maida P.

    The best donuts I've ever had. But the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars it because it is pretty pricy.

    Great donuts, but there will probably be a long line to get in. Boston cream was great, as was the chocolate glazed cake donut. Brought some crazy looking ones back for the kids to try.

    Voodoo Denver! So I'm quite familiar with eating at Voodoo in Portland and fortunately the doughnuts at the Denver location are comparable! They tasted pretty fresh even though we got there close to midnight so that's a huge plus. The only downsides are the location which is pretty sketchy especially at night, and the sloooooowww service. Woww your service is slow! I guess that's what happens when you're located next to a pot shop x___X

    I would call myself a Voodoo addict. Thank Goodness I live far enough away that I've never made a special trip there. But, it's tempting. In their early days in Denver (when the lines were an hour long), I felt like I should order many doughnuts to justify the wait. Now that it's 20ish minutes, my daughter and I share the same 2 doughnuts every time. One yeast, one cake. And cheap. I'm not a meat eater so I do the Maple Bar without the bacon and it's my very favorite. I've turned many a "cake doughnut resister" into a "cake doughnut lover" with the Buttermilk Bar. The whole place is a double entendre which was odd with at first with the kids (12 years old +) but it's now old hat. It seems that none of the suggestive language goes over their heads which is *slightly concerning*. Consider yourself warned, parents. Also, it's cash only. They have a private ATM in the store but it looks like one that will charge fees more than your doughnut tab.

    Finally tried Voodoo Doughnut! Came on a Wednesday around 9 pm and had a twenty minute wait in the line. Wait was a little longer than anticipated but I suppose it could have been longer especially if I went on the weekend. I drive by this place a bunch and see lines reaching outside the door sometimes at the strangest times. I guess that's a big advantage for this 24/7 treat shop. Cash only is kind of strange but acceptable to me. I can see it pissing off some tourists who have to make an unexpected withdrawal. But the big advantage is this place has a large and unusual selection of doughnuts. It's kind of a fun atmosphere inside, full of young people, tourists, and families. Sometimes homeless people nearby will pester you to buy them a doughnut. It's a fun and interesting part of Denver, many bars and marijuana stores nearby if you fancy that. Anyways to the doughnuts- I got the Portland Cream, Old fashioned glaze, toasted coconut, and double chocolate doughnut. First thing to note is that the doughnuts have a very large amount of icing and toppings. Super sweet. The Portland (Bavarian) cream was thick and tasted great. Doughnuts are cooked well. They are more like a cake than anything. Tasted great the next day. Oh and let's not forget the pink box is so cute and distinct. Would make an awesome gift. Voodoo is a fun spot to visit in Denver. Fun and creative menu with delicious treats. I just love that the place is open 24/7. Being always open is great, I may have to come late night and see what's up. My only complaint is that there is really no place to hang out with friends, socialize with others, have some doughnuts and coffee (such as tables or a bar). I live nearby and something like this may entice me to come more often. Otherwise for me it will stay a once a month treat

    This place really does deserve the hushed, reverenced tones that it gets mentioned with. I love, love, LOVE doughnuts and I've always heard how amazing this place is. I ordered a Voodoo Dozen and my standout favorites were the Old Dirty Bastard, the Captian, My Captian and the Portland Creame. All three were just top-notch and the rest were amazing as well. They give you the best pink box to take them home in and everyone that works there clearly LOVES where they work and what they do. If you're in Denver and you don't come here, you're depriving yourself of something special.

    When we decided to visit Denver, this place was numero uno on the list of places to eat at. With a reputation in the donut world like no other, it was non negotiable. Street parking only, but it was free on Sunday (woohoo!) and we hopped into the line. CASH ONLY. ( but there is an ATM inside.) The line was set up like a Disneyland ride, and every 5 minutes, the girl at the counter would YELL to the customers to "KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED". Ummm, do you do that all day, every day? Maybe just put a giant sign on the door then? When we got to the front, we had our order ready, and the woman checking us out was quick and friendly. There is no place to sit inside or out, so we wandered over to our next destination, and enjoyed them in the car. My reaction: meh. definitely not worth the hype, sadly. They weren't BAD, but with the cash only, street parking, long line situation, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. They are really pretty, and I was able to make all my friends jealous on FB and IG, but the donut was a little dry, there was way too much icing, and the cereal that it was topped with was stale. I was only able to eat half a donut before I started to feel a little ill from all the icing, and the only reason they were finished the next day was from a little motivation from some recreational smoking ( which made me much more forgiving of the stale cereal on top).

    I've been here twice within the last few months. Voodoo has unique and expensive doughnuts, but they're not my favorite (so minus one star). I also had to take away a star because of the ridiculously long line. They really don't have a great ordering process and especially when there is only one person helping out customers. Favorite to Least: Glazed Yeast Bacon Maple Bar (but for $3.25??) Mexican Hot Chocolate Old Dirty Bastard Butterfingering Vice Berry Portland Cream Bubble Gum Dirt Grape Ape - my friend absolutely loves this one Voodoo - not a jelly-filled fan CASH ONLY

  • Lydia P.

    The donuts here are pretty good, been here a couple of times. My favorites are the Grape Ape and the Voodoo doll which has a really good raspberry filling in the middle. Most of the donuts here are pretty decent and mostly unique tasting donuts. They also have really good soda's there too if you ever happen to get one of those. My only complaint is that the wait and the line out the door are mildly ridiculous. I don't enjoy waiting in lines in crowded places, and so it got really uncomfortable. It is also a very time consuming wait for the donuts. It took about half an hour until I was finally able to get them. And on a final note they also only do cash. So if you are out of cash with only a credit card on you, forget it, the donuts you've been waiting for, for so long are not available to you.

  • Michael S.

    Lines are long, even at 3am in the morning. But sweet fried donut lord they are worth the wait. Be sure to bring cash. Definitely order their bacon maple bar and if you feel like tasting the rainbow, the gay bar.

    Doughnut heaven. That's what Voodoo Doughnut is. I'm not a donut expert by any means, but I know greatness when I see it. On a recent trip to Denver, my travel companions suggested a trip to Voodoo. Upon arrival I knew that it was a good choice. We waited in the 15 minute line to get to the counter. It was definitely worth the wait. We went with the Fryer Flyer, which was full of their best selling doughnuts. From m&m doughnuts, to bacon covered doughnuts, to cinnamon toast crunch doughnuts, to oreo doughnuts - you get the drift. They were all so unique and the 7 of us really enjoyed popping the box open and sharing them all. This is more of a treat type of place for me as I'm sure it was incredibly calorie-laden. That being said, I loved my experience and the doughnuts here and I highly recommend checking it out if in the Denver area!

  • Claudine M.

    I think this was too hyped up for me to truly enjoy. Yes they have good donuts. They have crazy flavors like the Old Dirty Bastard, Capt. Crunch and Maple Bacon etc., but just because it's crazy doesn't mean they're absolutely to die for. Sometimes a simple light and fluffy glazed donut is all you need. Their blueberry, Mexican hot chocolate and cruellers are good simple ones, if you want to try some of their daring flavors then go for the maple bacon bar and I like their gay bar as well haha. Remember! Cash only! It can get a little bit pricey once you pile up your order so be careful. You can get a bucket of day old ones for $8. They use to give you the bucket but now they just measure it there and put it in the infamous pink box. The last time we got it, it had not that much variety (a lot of the mango tango ones) and had probably less than a dozen. I knew people who got more, if not twice, as that!

  • Kimberly I.

    Everyone raves about voodoo doughnuts... but I have to be honest. Not the best I have ever had. I think it is more about the experience and silliness of the doughnuts themselves then the actual quality of the doughnut. If you need a little pick me up or you just want to uplift your spirit. Then come here for a voodoo doughnut you can stab with pretzels...or get one topped with your favorite childhood cereal. You can even get some rapper doughnuts or a big blunt doughnut. Absolutely a fun experience that everyone must do once... but very dry inside, somewhat stale and over- sugary in my opinion.

  • Lance B.

    Good place to try out if you're in town. We were in town from Atlanta. Really cool vibe and love the selections. Kind of made it hard to choose. Great staff. Line was not too long while we were there. Got the Portland Cream, chocolate frosted, blueberry cake doughnuts. All were good but not blow your mind good. I have had better doughnuts but this was good for what it was. Prices are not bad. However, if line is more than 10 minutes, it wouldn't be worth it to me.

  • Leslie C.

    Are these the absolute best donuts in the city? Probably not. But, you go to VooDoo for the fun of it, not for gourmet rolls. I stopped in last week, Wednesday afternoon, just before rush hour. First visit ever! To my pleasant surprise, I was able to grab a metered spot right outside the door. There's *tons* of metered parking here; you may have to park a block up or back, but will the walk really kill you? Once inside, I found myself smack in the middle of a cavernous room - no tables, no chairs, bright pink and the scent of sugar wafting everywhere. No lines, no waiting - just a couple of girls who were trying to decide what to get who graciously offered their spot while they hemmed over the menu. The 30'ish hipster with the arm sleeves and Duck Dynasty beard was super friendly (again, noticing a trend in this area - I'm far from hipster and almost 20 years older than most of these folks, and yet the staff at most of the restaurants and shops in this area couldn't care less and treat me like I've been a customer forever.) I picked up the Fryer Flyer dozen - a little more expensive, at $21, but it highlights their most popular rolls. Voodoo Doll, ODB, Grape Ape - this box holds a little of everything (including the maple bacon bar I was craving!) If you're looking to save cash, you can pick up a dozen cake or a cake/raised dozen for a few dollars less. I was in and out of the store in maybe ten minutes (I brought cash; if you forget, there's an ATM near the door), and back on the road home. Kids and hubby enjoyed the treats. I think the maple bacon bar is probably my favorite. Hubby loved the voodoo doll (though he noted the pretzel stake was stale.) Minion 1 was a fan of the ODB (though she hadn't been expecting the peanut butter). Minion 2 liked whatever the one with the crumbled oreos was. There were a few we weren't big fans of; I felt the maple blunt was a little too sweet, and the Cap'n Crunch had soggy cereal on it (we didn't eat that one until two days later, so I attribute the soggy to time.) This is the kind of place I'd stop for a treat if I were in the neighborhood. It's not going to replace my local donut shops simply due to distance. But, it lived up to the hype!

    You know how people usually get cake for their birthday? Those who know me, know I'd rather have DONUTS on my special day. I was shocked to find a Voodoo doughnut in Denver, and since I've heard so much about them decided I may as well cross them off my list. I went in around 11pm and still had to wait a good 25 minutes. It's open 24/7 so that's pretty neat. CASH ONLY! but they've got an ATM right inside. I ordered half a dozen donuts- maple bacon, (2) Dirt (oreo topped), Dirty Bastard, and (2) Captain, My Captain. Wish i could tell you which was my favorite, but none of them really wow'ed me. :( once i got back to my hotel that the Portland Cream was a real winner, so might have to give that one a shot next time. The donut itself was just like any ordinary donut you could find in a 7 eleven.. which is why i dont think this place is any good. My guess is that theyre just known for their eclectic mix of toppings... (oh, i should mention that these donuts are really, really sweet!!) Overall, because of it's popularity, I would say try it out. If you're not much of a donut person, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. If you're a donut fiend like myself, don't order too much- save your $$!

    I'd been to the location in downtown Portland and loved it, so imagine my surprise and delight when I found out that there was one in Denver! Not surprisingly, it was in a funky area of town (the only place during my trip to Denver where I saw people with colored hair) and there was a dispensary next door--a marriage made in stoner heaven, apparently. There was quite a line when we got there around 9pm or so, which was ok because it gave us time to take a good look around and also figure out what we wanted. Turned out, we wanted everything, lol. My four friends and I ended up ordering 13 donuts, which came to almost $40! Yes they're pricey but they're made with good, fresh ingredients and held up pretty well for the next few days. I don't remember ALL the donuts we got, but the standouts for me were the Portland Cream, the Dirty Ole Bastard, and, of course, their maple bacon bar--mm. Their signature Voodoo Donut I'm not a huge fan of--I don't like jelly filling but I do love the idea of a donut voodoo doll. I was bummed they were all out of The Gay Bar. STEPH JUDGEMENT: Fresh, tasty, unique artisanal doughnuts in a fun and funky-ass setting.

  • Andrew L.

    I just do not get it. I've sampled the world's doughnuts. Voodoo ranks near the bottom. After my first bite, I was convinced I could make a viral YouTube hit where people can't tell the difference between a Portland/Colfax cream and a Boston cream I bought at Safeway. I judge a doughnut by the dough primarily. You can top or fill a doughnut with anything, but it can't hide bad brioche. No dough has ever screamed "Meh!" as loud as the Voodoo doughnuts I ate. I've been told that if you go in the morning when everything is fresh and warm still, they are significantly better. Haven't been able to try that, but I doubt that is why this place receives the hype it gets. Combine the mediocre quality with the wait, the price, and the lowbrow sex jokes (get it! doughnuts have holes... vaginas are holes... therefore doughnuts are like vaginas... I guess I'm a stiff), and this just isn't the place for me. Luckily Dizzy's in Boulder is as close to where I live. Much better. Same price.

  • Aly N.

    Okay so disclaimer - not a huge donut fan so my review should be taken with a a grain of salt. With this being said however, my friends and family love donuts and I have brought them back to California on a couple occasions. The place is a hole in the wall on colfax (not the best area in Denver). It smells of donuts as soon as you walk in so if you're a fan of sweet this is great; however it can be super overwhelming if not. The place can be super packed so be prepared for a long wait if you don't hit it at the right time - there really is no rhyme or reason to the crazy it just gets nuts. The donuts - most people usually tell me they are almost too sweet. They love the concept of donuts with everything on them but when they actually eat them they aren't a huge fan. In short - these can be a ton of fun to bring as presents; however I would not make this a regular donut stop.

  • Rose Y.

    Outstanding donuts, with unique designs and names. They are incredibly fresh and soft, everything. If you're lucky, you can get the donuts while they're warm. I've been here many times and they have never disappointed. Only con I would give this place is that parking absolutely sucks. If you go on a weekday, chances are you can park on Colfax or on side streets. Weekends, however, are a bit harder usually. Since I live in Capitol Hill, I usually just walk, which makes things easier.

  • Athenapex C.

    We noticed this shop just by coincidence walking by because we saw tons of people piling into the stores. We thought they were fun named donuts. We tried a portland cream $1.75 which is a chocolate iced yeast donut with bavarian cream on the inside. Yummy!! We also had the Mango Tango $1.95 which is a white iced with orange powder yeast donut filled with mango jam on the inside. We had a dirty old bastard $1.95 that was a yeast donut iced with chocolate icing and topped with oreo cookies and drizzled peanut butter. The ultimate donut which is huge in size was the Memphis Mafia which is a fried donut that has cinnamon in the batter and is topped with chunky peanut butter and chocolate chips. NOTE: CASH ONLY

    There are so many reviews raving about this place that I'm sure you get the idea. Fantastic doughnuts, cash only, and expect long waits. It's a good idea to pull up the menu since it's basically impossible to understand what anything is based on the menu in the store. Definitely a must try!

    Stopped here on my way back home to California. The line was only 20 minutes on a Friday at 10:30am. I ordered a few donuts for my kids and went on my merry ol' way. The donuts were good especially the Captain Crunch one. My kids liked the fruit loops & the voodoo doll. My trip home with this pink box was crazy! The box alone is worth hours of conversation at the airport. I was told I'd be mugged and many offered to either hold my donuts or buy them off of me. I have to admit it was pretty hilarious!

  • Raven G.

    I can see how this place is so famous. I visited Denver with college roommates and Voodoo Doughnut quickly made it to the top of the restaurants to visit. The line was out the door, but it moved quickly, and it was 100% worth it. As a confessed baconaholic, I couldn't pass up on the Maple Bacon Bar - a yeast donut almost the length of my forearm, smothered in sweet maple icing, and topped with countless strips of perfectly cooked bacon. As if that wasn't enough, I couldn't pass on the cleverly named Marshall Matters - a large cake donut topped with vanilla icing and infinite M&Ms (Eminems, if you will). Both donuts were pretty cheap, and for someone who had skipped dinner, I was pretty full afterwards. The slightly cramped venue and lack of descriptions for the donuts on the main menu (I looked them up on my phone) are the only reasons for 4 stars instead of 5. But yep, I can say with confidence that these are the best donuts I've ever had, and I'm already scheming my next visit.

  • Heather T.

    I'm really disappointed in VooDoo. The donuts are still as fantastic as ever but their ordering policy needs attention. Last week we called ahead to place a multi dozen order. We were told we had to call the day before. So we called the day before and were told that we had to call exactly twenty four hours ahead (which we called 18 hours ahead) and they couldn't fill our order. I don't understand why orders can't be placed a few days ahead. It comes across as rigid, unprofessional and definitely not customer service friendly. What a pity since they strive so hard to be hip and cool.

  • Heidi K.

    Great doughnuts, but 45 minutes to get to the door and then told another 15 to 20 so someone could have a wedding...wth? Seriously, that was super frustrating. Maybe weddings at the donie palace should be scheduled during much less busy times, not Sunday of a three day weekend. My 5 year old was in tears by the time we were able to finally order, but they were quite delicious. Some are too sweet, but the cake with frosting or m&ms were both fantastic! I love it when my office orders these and we enjoy them sans the insane crowd.

  • Beth W.

    Lined out the door, all I can expect was greatness. The few doughnuts we selected to try were so amazingly fresh. Pretty good variety, would have bought the cock n balls for myself, but chose to try a few other favorites first. The fritters were also good, not my choice, but what I sampled was crispy on the outside and super soft and good in the middle. Cash only establishment and parking was an issue for us.

  • Rachael S.

    The wait is worth your while. First, there's racks upon racks of pretty doughnuts to gaze upon. There are Also, it smells like doughnuts. Finally, when you get up to the counter and get your big pink box of doughnuts, a grin of pure happiness will begin to spread across your face. Imagine my delight when, on my first visit to Voodoo, I discovered that the entire bottom shelf of doughnuts in the carousel display are vegan! So far I've tried a Fruit Loop, a Grape Ape and a Voodoo Doll, which is a raspberry-jam-filled doughnut that comes with a pretzel stick for poking, a Portland Creme, a Colfax Creme, and an Old Dirty Bastard. I haven't picked a favorite yet.

    So after all the hype died down ...And since i love donuts...i decided to weigh in on Voodoo.... After three rounds of donuts....three different times.....here it is...I love em! Haven't had a bad one yet...not to say that might never happen..but...for now I'm one happy person.... the "miami vice" is my personal favorite and anything with filling.... Donuts are my weakness and Voodoo aims to please... I read that other people complain that they are too sweet....I think thats a ridiculous claim....they are made to be a sugar overload.... So here it is...YUM The parking is crap...but anything on colfax is .... ill be back for sure...next time ill take pics....my phone was in the car ;/ enjoy

    I had heard about Voodoo from my friend who lives here, and she raved about it. I have also seen them on some food shows...so this was a must try when I came here to visit, and they did not disappoint. These doughnuts aren't for breakfast, they are for dessert! They do have some of your "normal" flavors, but then they have so many that I really have not seen at other places. I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted. My absolute favorite was the Old Dirty Bastard. I haven't been able to stop talking about it since I got back. People give me funny looks when I tell them the name, but you seriously need to try it. You can't go wrong with peanut butter and oreos. I had a few others as well, and all were very good. They do not take credit - cash only! More than likely, you will be waiting in line, because this place is so popular. Looking up the flavors online before you go is a good idea since their menu is kind of small and hard to read in line.

    Great donuts, awesome spot. Not really worth the wait at times. Also depends on what influence you're under.

    I think this place has a pretty fair rating on Yelp right now, as they are not exactly the best donuts I have had in Denver. However, I do dig what Voodoo does and the toppings are in fact amazing. My 3 favs: 1) Chocolate and Peanut cake donut 2) O.D.B. 3) Voodoo Donut If you do come here, definitely try one of the cake donuts. They are pretty legit. Also, the line moves fast and was pretty short around 2:30 when I got there. There are definitely more artisanal options made with more love, but for just all-out donut absurdity it doesn't get much better than this spot.

    I'm a fan of artesian styled doughnuts, and I also enjoy the over all theme of the shop. There are obituaries towards the back, and the one that has a bacon in it is something I find myself craving all the time. Beware guys, it's addictive.

    A bit of a squandered opportunity. But still very good. Extremely cakey, sweet donuts that are delightfully gimmicky. while the flavorings and dressings are great, Im just not in love with the dough itself. other places manage to fry up flakier, nicer dough. Not that these are bad donuts by any measure, but I often leave feeling like they can do a bit better. Personal favorite is the Mango Jelly by far. Overhyped? probably. But worth checking out.

    It was fun going here. We were in and out within 15 minutes but that's probably because we went on a Thursday in the mid-afternoon. We got the dozen and had the cashier pick them out for us. He gave us a nice variety of the traditional donuts and their crazy ones! Everyone who tried one in our family loved them.

    I've been waiting to step foot through a Voodoo Donuts for more than 7 years. I was holding out for a Portland, Oregon experience (you can actually get married legally in at least one of the Portland stores) but am glad I didn't wait any longer (my friends who moved here from Portland said the Denver voodoo donuts are actually way tastier than in Portland). The parking was truly lacking. This is the second attempt at going to Voodoo due to parking and thankfully we were eventually able to get a spot out front. There was a near empty parking lot in the rear however the tow possibility seemed to high. The store actually announced between song playlists that it was "street parking only" and recommended that people parked illegally go move their cars immediately because they will be towed (sounded like a sure thing so we moved the vehicle). Due to the rain the line did not extend past the front doors but was still snaking from the front door to the registers. I really enjoyed the electronic menus however it would have been most helpful for the donuts to be described so I had a clue what they entailed (really - what do you envision that an "old dirty bastard" donut tastes like?). There were some helpful rotating displays however the donuts weren't labeled within and the signage near the front indicated that one must "stay back" from the pink tape on the floor. Turns out the rotating displays also included a picture/key to put a name (from the menu board) to the actual donut). My guess is that if this "key" was more readily accessible, perhaps via a poster one could view while in line the queue would move much much faster. When we finally made it up to the register we noted a sign that stated a box of "day old" donuts was just $5. We requested this first because even though we'd picked the donut of our dreams how could we turn down a box of donuts for $5. Thankfully (or not thankfully) there were no $5 boxes available so we went with a "Voodoo bubble" (yeast donut, vanilla frosting, bubble gum dusting, and a piece of bubble gum) and "Old dirty bastard" (yeast donut with chocolate frosting, peanut butter drizzle and oreos). The donuts were actually quite yummy (only one of the two made the drive back to Boulder unscathed). I'll definitely be back with some donuts of my dreams picked out ahead of time. *Cash only establishment.

    Gourmet artisan overpriced donuts that feel too sugary to start your day seem to be hottest trend in sweets lately, giving variety and competition to the cupcakery and frozen yogurt shop. This storefront is colorfully attention grabbing. I passed this store a few times at different times of the day/night, and there was a line each time. By the time we went, there was a line but it moved quickly. There are so many flavors, what a selection! I tried the buttermilk bar doughnut -- small, rich and sweet. I don't really think these are overpriced. All gourmet artisan donuts are overpriced all over the country. Parking probably isn't great but it's a busy street in the city, so that's just urban life! No indoor seating. Cash only.

    I am so glad I was here when there was no wait. The doughnuts are a hype. I know why they get the attention, and I know why people are dying to get these artistry dough thingy-s.

    I've heard many people debate whether Voodoo is worth all the fuss or not. As you can tell from my rating, I fall on the "fan" side of Voodoo. Why? First, their Bavarian cream doughnut is probably the best cream-filled doughnut I've had. The cream is so custard-y, and lots of it. Their apple fritter is actually an apple fritter, not some doughnut abomination that's being passed off as a fritter. And it stays good even a day later, which is no easy feat with a fritter. Yeah, that's right, it's not all a show with the wild, crazy, and humorous doughnuts. They actually make good, classic doughnuts. But of course the fun doughnuts are worth a try too. My favorite is the Old Dirty Bastard - a frosted doughnut with peanut butter and Oreo cookie crumbs. A bomb of a doughnut, and all delicious. Why not 5 stars? It's cash only, which I get it, but at the same time it's 2015 - take a card. They do have an ATM on-site that doesn't have too bad of a fee. But it's really the small TV displays with the menu written in unreadable font unless you're a hawk that's a graphic designer. I doubt someone with 20/20 vision can read those, let alone a four-eyes like me. A big chalk board on the wall would be more appropriate. So have their online menu loaded on your phone before you arrive. To reward you for reading this novel of a review, I'll leave you with a pro tip: bourbon. Yes, bourbon. Coffee is great with their doughnuts, but bourbon is even better. You're welcome.

    There are so many reviews, my words don't even matter. So, I'm going to tell a story or two. Story one. Back in the day, I went to Portland in high school. This was when Voodoo was selling Sudafed donuts. I bought one, and a maple bacon bar. Again, this is before the whole maple bacon craze caught on. I got jacked on Sudafed donut, and soothed by the maple bacon one. It made my visit to Portland surreal and awesome. Another time, the owner of Voodoo came behind the bar where I work, pooched his butt out, and rammed it into my butt as he said, "BEEP. BEEP. BEEP." Then he introduced himself. Instant butt bond. This is a weird ass business, but somehow they make it work. I gotta support the weird. Good things come in pink boxes. It's a joke about vaginas, get it?

    I haven't been here but my friend's gf brought some over and its the shit. I like donuts in general but this place has some interesting gourmet type donuts. Just tried the mango tango full of sugar and killed it. If they had one in San Diego, I would probably be overweight and obese. It's that good.

  • James F.

    Long lines...mean amazing donuts. I can't describe how good these are....how much of a sugar rush you grt when eating it.....anf how gluttonous you feel after. Late night drunk munchies....or a weekend treat...or anytime really... voodoo is really great.

    Open 24/7, CASH only, and they have donuts called Cock and Balls. So either you are in for some savory donuts (Maple Bacon Bar) or you just want some cock and balls... you should check it out. Line moved relatively fast, friendly service, and a lot of selections. On my visit, we got a lil bit of everything. Surprisingly, they were all pretty tasty and not too sweet. I ordered the Old Dirty Bastard and once I saw it, I was thinking dang.. this is going to be sweet.... but to my happy surprise, i ate it up without feeling like I ate a sack of sugar. Street Parking, ATM inside, and milk available for purchase. Definitely stop buy if you are craving some donuts, up late and having a sweet tooth, or if you want to gift anyone some donuts. P.S. If you order the Cock and Balls, you can get a word or name or anything written on the balls.

  • Shane H.

    Overly frosted donuts that all taste the same other than subtle differences in the bitterness of the food dyes used in coloring. If you're not coming for the gimmick, don't bother. Sorry that I'm not on board with the hype. Actually I'm not sorry; I'm writing this for you, not me. I like donuts in the shape of penises or with skeleton pictures on them as much as the next guy. I refuse to stand in line for them unless they're actually good donuts. These are just kind of barely OK. Even that concession is a leniency. DD is rich and filling, KK is light and also (oddly) filling... VD makes me wish I had a tall glass of water or whatever else to wash the yeasty sticky business out of my face. I'm not sure what the appeal for Voodoo is other than the uniqueness: the batter is not good (vaguely sour) and the frosting is terrible. Really terrible. Cheap birthday cake terrible. I don't care if you draw well with it; it's still putting lipstick on a pig. Sorry Voodoo. I know by your waiting lines that you get tons of business and that my review will not affect that. I'm just being honest with you. The extra star is for effort. I really wish you sold good donuts. Edit: I just read that it's CASH ONLY?? What the dude? That's a paddlin'. Cost: -1*

  • Kamryn C.

    I wasn't really blown away by these donuts. I happened to catch the line at the right time, and only had to wait about ten minutes. We sampled a ton of donuts, and while some were good, none of them seemed particularly special. I can't say that I would return, and I definitely wouldn't wait in an hour plus line for them.

  • Bradley S.

    Amazing place, cool experience. Recommend for anyone that doesn't have diabetes. Or for diabetics that like to live dangerously. The amount of combinations this place puts together is madness. The Oreo cookie and the Captain Crunch ones were ridiculous and delicious. I'd grab a random assortment and see which ones you end up with, cant go wrong as everythings insane. Also helps they have an ATM right in the store as its cash only. Make sure to be ready for the lines, its expected, but also worth it. The Maple Bacon doughnut was also as close to God as I've ever come. Go here now.

  • Rob S.

    I give 5 stars to their Old Fashioned Chocolate and Glazed donuts. The rest are way to cake-y and once the novelty of weird toppings wears off, they're gross. Also the ones with cereal on them - the ceareal is always stale. I've been to the one in Portland and this one is much easier to navigate.

    I want DOUGHNUT! They must've put a spell on them... These pink boxes everywhere... I see them in my dreams! Even the bar next door allows pink boxes! I didn't understand the sign until I saw the the stacks of pink boxes in the store. I wanted my own pink box. And i got one :) I got six doughnuts: maple bacon bar, mango tango, mexican hot chocolate, some creamy maple doughnut with filling, triple chocolate (the one with cocoa puffs on it), and the fruit loops one. Favorites: mango tango, bacon maple bar and mexican hot chocolate. Warning the mexcian hot chocolate is spicy! And heat keeps building up as you keep eating. The mango tango is filled with creamy goodness. And well maple and bacon- need I explain?!?! The decor of the place is great. Voodoo everywhere. Doughnuts everywhere and in turnstile display cases. Its definitely worth a peak and a few doughnuts... There is an atm machine inside if you need cash. Cash only...

    Buying doughnuts is a very direct process. However Voodoo has put quite a fun and artistic spin on things. I really enjoyed looking at all of the artwork in the establishment while I waited in there famous never-ending line. The food itself was great! I would imagine it's hard to screw up doughnuts though. There products boarder on more of a cake like product. If you're around the downtown Denver area you need to swing by! Thanks Voodoo Doughnuts!

  • Cassandra F.

    I have to say I haven't been to the location yet, but someone brought a box to work the other day and they were delicious! Super tasty donuts! As the other reviewers have stated, it's cash only and usually busy from what my coworker says. Planning on stopping by next time I'm downtown!

  • Hannah W.

    I've been to voodoo doughnut a few times and each time I've had to wait at least 20-30 min. The only times I've been to this store is when I have friends from out-of-state. I like how funky and pink the store is and love their donut ideas, but the donuts are just OK and the inefficiency in their ordering processing is very frustrating. The menu they have is way to small to see from the outside and if you've never been to the store, you wouldn't know what half of the specialty donuts were by reading the name of it. What they really need is a picture-to-name kind of menu or display on their giant windows or along the lines so people can start thinking of what they want to get while they wait instead of deciding when they get to the counter. Better yet, they should use one of those sushi ordering menus so that they people can mark their orders and the staff can just grab what they want and check them out. Yes your donuts are creative, but the long wait decreases customer satisfaction. I think voodoo can do so much better if they utilize a better process for ordering so that their customers can be in and out more quickly. More people might come despite the average tasting donuts if there wasn't an unnecessarily long line.

    DO NOT PARK IN THE PARKING LOT BEHIND. I mean this is obvious but you're going to think it'll be fine. You're going to think "we'll be in there for like five minutes" and "it's a snowy Sunday, no one is going to notice." But there is a stupid guy waiting in his car, you may not see him, but he sees you. VooDoo donuts makes a point to put up signs and will make an announcement when it's happening. You'll think for a sec, "no way that's mine, I just parked" but embarrassingly you'll run out. $100 later.... some smug butthole in a black truck or red car (we couldn't figure out which one) will be all "you're illegally parked blah blah blah" and says they prefer cash (gives you a receipt but I'm investigating this). JUST DON'T DO IT. SAVE YOURSELF, ENJOY YOUR DOUGHNUT!!!!

    Do you like doughnuts? Do you appreciate creative presentation & flavorings? Do you like a funky atmosphere? Can you show a little patience during a wait in line & bring some cash? If you answered yes to the above questions, chances are high you will love your Voodoo Doughnuts experience. Yes, the prices are a bit high compared to your average doughnut shop. Most unusual doughnuts are about $1.65-$2.00 each, a few are even higher. But the doughnuts are cool, creative, and FUN. I can't come here all the time (don't live in Denver), but it's totally worth a stop if we are in the area. (Some of the more typical doughnuts on the menu run about $1-$1.20/doughnut.) Favorites: Old Dirty Bastard, Grape Ape, Miami Vice and Dirt. The namesake voodoo doughnut is awesome. My husband and kids have been super happy with their doughnuts both times we've visited. I want to try them all, but can't possibly do that, so I sample a small piece of what they get. Each bite has been a tasty treat! Most recently my daughter & I arrived at about 12:30 pm on a Sunday afternoon. We waited maybe 20 minutes in line, which was fine because I had to decide what to get everyone. No easy task with all the fun choices. I'm sure these are best eaten immediately, but we've always bought enough to save for the next day and they still taste good. Tip: Check your favorite map app and park a few blocks away and walk. You'll work off a tiny amount of the doughnut splurge and you'll have a better chance of getting a spot.

  • Cynthia H.

    When I went, cash-only didn't bother me and there wasn't a line. The donuts were sugar BOMBS. Insanely sweet icing/toppings. The base is just like a generic supermarket yeast donut. Really not exceptional.

    (3)

  • Lindsey K.

    Voodoo is a fun spot. I'm not sure I would wait in line, but I believe it is worth a stop to see and taste all of their wonderfully creative donuts. My favorite of all time is the maple bacon bar. Hands down. Really, I can't bother to rank a second or third after that. I guess one of their chocolate cream filled varieties would be next, like the cock and balls. I usually don't even like cream filled donuts, but they have a good thing going. Remember to bring cash and I would suggest purchasing more than you think you'll eat. A little bite here and there to sample won't hurt anyone!

  • Jennifer P.

    Really cool place to visit but just some warnings: Cash only. Parking on the street only...you might get towed parking other places. These are fine, handcrafted donuts...you have to be patient! You have to be secure enough to walk out with a pink box. Fritters are the size of your face...don't wuss out. It is delish! If you are lucky enough to wait in line with a regular, take their advice and get the smaller Tangtastic donut...not the oh what a Peach fritter. If you are lucky enough to go with kids, the counter crew will quietly cough out the obscene names of some of the donuts (ODB for instance). My kids never even noticed.

    They had me at Old Dirty Bastard Doughnut. If Peanut The Kidnapper was still alive, I know he'd appreciate his namesake doughnut made of PB & Oreos. I love the chain's concept and the donuts seemed to be of a good quality. Worth a visit!

    (5)

  • Chris S.

    I love their cock and balls in my mouth -- the donut that is. But my favorite is their maple bacon bar. The donuts here are high end in both taste and price, so they may not be the best for the office, good for a once in a while treat. Leave the diet and the credit cards at the door, because neither are welcome. There will be a line. The times I have come, it was around 10PM and there was a 20 minute line. Also, parking isn't the best around there; it's usually a hunt for a parking space.

  • Ivy T.

    There is the hype and I bought into it. There is always a line here and it is the tongue in cheek donut stop that every looks forward to whenever they are in Portland and/or Denver. It takes Cash Only and there is an ATM inside if you happen to forget your dollar bills at home. I ordered the Peanut Butter and Oreo Donut (not sure what the exact nickname for it is) and the Cinnamon and Sugar donut. I tried the Peanut Butter Donut but I could only eat about 1/3 of it because it was SUPER sweet and rich. Even as a breakfast item it became too much and too redundant after about 4 bites. I moved on to the Cinnamon Donut and it is really packed with Cinnamon where your nostrils will clear up in a couple of bites. That was much too strong for me so I had to leave it too. I think this might've been a case where I just selected the wrong donuts. Supposedly the CockNBalls and Dirty Old Bastard are some good ones that I missed out on. Bottom Line: I might try it again and order something else, in the meantime, I will stay away from ordering the two that I had at Voodoo donuts.

  • Ashley C.

    It's not all hype.. These doughnuts are now my new go to. I've been hearing about this place for almost 3 years now and my only regret is that I waited so long! Cash only but they do have an atm inside.

  • Alan N.

    A few interesting doughnuts, good stuff and they actively make doughnuts for most of the day. Honestly, not too sure what the hype is, they're interesting doughnuts but nothing to wait in line for hours. I went on a weekday and I waited about 5 minutes and that felt about right. I think they change flavors all the time so try them out, I recommend going at odd times on weekdays.

  • FatKi D.

    THE most overrated place in all of Denver. It's just donuts with fruit loops on them! OMG purple frosting?!?! I must stand in line for an hour. I think Lamar's has better donuts. Also try Glazed and Confused or Walton's. They can have my $2, I want my 30 minutes I waited in line behind future/current diabetics who were giddy at the thought of getting colored frosting and took 10 minutes each to order. And their coffee is more expensive than Starbucks. I know the super annoying hipster crowd is willing to stand in line forever and pay $3 for a cup of Folgers just so they can say they are better than everyone, but I'm not. I also don't think they accept cards. To fill you all in this is so they can make a heftier profit and reap rewards from the ATM fees that people incur in their waiting area. Went once, never went back; lived less than two blocks away.

  • Charisse O.

    I love donuts, and I thought this place was delicious! My favorite is the Dirt Donut, which is a regular yeast donut with vanilla frosting and oreo pieces on top! So good. I also tried their Voodoo Donut (the one that looks like a little guy being stabbed with a pretzel). I'm not a fan of jelly donuts, so I wouldn't get it again. Just an FYI for those who didn't know this, their Voodoo Dozen is a dozen donuts that THEY choose. The entire time I was in line, I thought that I could get 5+ Dirt Donuts and 2+ Voodoo Donuts to save lots of money. Whoops. The wait time is a hit-or-miss. I went after dinner (bad idea on my part), and of course the line was ridiculous; it went out pass the store next door. I lost track of time on how long I waited. Last time my friend went, he said that no one was there! I heard this rumor, so I am not sure it is true (maybe other reviews can confirm this), but if you go really late at night (maybe around 2AM), they give you a bucket of donuts for really cheap.

  • Von A.

    Theres an atm in the store - which helps in case you forget that they only take cash? ... really? I happy to say that i've been to 3 of the 4 stores that Voodoo has. Some may argue that this place is all hype - but I seem to enjoy every visit, as much as the first. My favorite still has to be the Maple Bacon Bar. The bacon on top is crisp, smokey and salty - not chewy, which I was afraid of initially. The Maple icing was sweet, rich, and nutty. This is a perfect combination of flavors. 4 donuts - depending on the variety will probably cost you around $10. Well worth it!

  • Donna H.

    Wow really gone downhill stopped by middle of the afternoon on a Monday and line wasn't too bad. I love getting the voodoo dolls. People get a kick out of how they're decorated. But what I got looked nothing like a doll or any creature I've seen before, or the one on display. I like to bring these to work to give co workers a laugh but while it tastes fine it makes me think maybe it's not worth the trouble parking, standing in line and finding cash for a blob with colored squiggles on top.

  • Valery L.

    This place is amazing and there is nowhere else you can find more versions of a donut than here. I still, however, prefer the clean simple-ness of a Krispy Kreme (oops!). I suggest they arrive in 2015 and start accepting plastic.

    I had a few hours in Denver and I was told I needed to go here. It lived up to the hype! We grabbed a dirt and a voodoo doll donut. Both were good sized and delicious! The line was a bit long but it was worth the wait. I highly recommend Voodoo Donuts! The very interesting donuts looked amazing too! If your looking for a delicious donut or a crazy one this is the place!

  • Cleda W.

    There was a line but that's expected. We didn't know what we wanted. Even though all of the doughnuts were listed on screen, as first timers we didn't know what they were. So we looked on their website. Amazing. The cock and balls has the Bavarian cream and a whole bunch of chocolate on top. It was so delicious. I'm taking the rest back to Illinois with me so I'm not sure how the others taste, but I'm sure they are amazing. Quick service. Cash only. Don't worry if you forget to bring cash....there's an ATM in the store! They also have restrooms!

  • Jessica H.

    I don't normally get doughnuts anywhere else besides Voodoo, so I can't say much about how these doughnuts compare with other ones. All I can say is that the doughnuts have quirky names, are fantastically decorated, and taste like little clouds of sugary heaven. I think I've eaten almost half of the doughnuts on their menu and have so far really liked the Butterfingerring, Dirty Bastard, No Name, and Colfax Cream. Some tips: - read the menu online before you go, or at least while you're waiting. They don't have descriptions of their doughnuts on the menu board. - bring cash. They have an ATM there, but if you don't want to pay that silly service fee, just bring enough cash. - always shut the door after you -- when you're leaving and when you're entering. Otherwise the employees have to keep asking you to close the door - And of course, DON'T PARK IN ONE OF THOSE PARKING LOTS. FIND STREET PARKING. I know they look tempting, but you will most certainly get a parking ticket, even if you're gone for minute.

    I've had many co-workers and patients bring in Voodoo Doughnuts. I think they are absolutely delicious; however, they are completely way too sweet for my taste and I love sweets. I would still recommend Voodoo's to doughnut lovers, just for them to try.

  • Ashley A.

    The variety of doughnuts you can find here are uncommon in LA- so I was excited to try their goodies. I was happy to discover that these doughnuts are a real treat. Mega delicious and uniquely crafted. I tried the Neapolitan and the peanut butter (with chocolate) banana fritter, freaking amazing. As a sweets aficionado- I couldn't help but inhale each one. A LITTLE EMBARASSED- but not regretful at all. SO GOOD. I also adore their pop-art adorned walls, complimented by chandeliers, and surprise guest appearances by spiderman and chubbaca. Funky little atmosphere they got going on here- but well kept and fun to look at! Would recommend this doughnut spot to out of towner's, as a must see and must eat. Especially because they're 24/7 you can catch them anytime. Would also recommend if you're a local and are tired of OG glaze- "live a little" & try this place.

    I was in Denver for 4 days and went to Voodoo twice!!!! That right there should tell you how good these puffed pastries are. First night we drove over to voodoo after doing a bit of shopping at Cherry Creek Mall. Talk about beginners luck. We found a spot in front of the store. Free evening parking (street parking is metered) and there was maybe 5 people in front of us. In and out in less than 10 minutes. We ordered the Voodoo dozen sampler. I know that's not the correct name but basically you allow the guys behind the counter to pick which doughnuts they want to put in your box. There are some pretty weird combos and names, but ya know what....... IT WORKS!!! Before I left Denver I picked up a second box of voodoo dozen. We were the most popular people at Denver International. That bubble gum pink box is recognizable everywhere and I literally held on to it as if my life depended on it. Voodoo puts a spell on who ever eats one of these treats, as I type this review I have a uncontrollable desire to bite into buttermilk bar, which was by far my favorite.

    These donuts live up to the hype! I'm a very skeptical person. When a place is over-hyped, super trendy, and the latest "must have", I always go in with open eyes. These delicious donuts do not disappoint!! The donuts are very thick and "cake like". They are not light and airy as some donuts ca be. The frosting is spot on. The names are hilarious. The creativity is unmatched. The service is awesome. The guy at the counter was joyful and made waiting in line entertaining. The best part was that I bought the donuts on a Thursday morning, carried them on a flight to Orange County on Friday, and they were still delicious on Saturday. I'm a believer!! Can't wait to go back.

    So much going on. I know the main draw of VooDoo doughnuts is that they are crazy flavors and tons of toppings but in my opinion the actual donuts aren't that good. Take away all the crazy toppings and pound of sugary toppings they put on top and you will ultimately be left with a sad excuse for a donut. That being said they do have good toppings on their donuts from maple bacon to fruit loops. Ultimately it's too much for me and the donut itself isn't as appetizing. Most people I know try it once to say they've been there and never return.

    Down south...where I stay, we may be switchin 4 lanes but we only have 1 choice when it comes to donuts..glazed or chocolate glazed. It's a shame houston doesn't have a vodoo's where we can choose from the delicious donuts. I think a place like this would fare well. We ordered 3 the classic vodoo, chocolate on chocolate and the cocks and balls donut. The donut itself was very soft and tasty. There were a lot of other flavors I really wanted to try but not enough room in my tummy! I would recommend this place but would choose a variety. We stuck to chocolate and well it was chocolate overload...

    We all know the saying..."don't knock it before you try it". I have been skeptical to try this place because 1) pictures don't look that appetizing and who wants a soft doughnut covered in so much gunk (I don't even like sprinkle doughnuts) and 2) I think the spot is overly hyped with management-induced long line (sure they could open another register, but a good long is good for business, right?). Well, I finally tried Voodoo Doughnut and.....I give in. I liked it. All of the raised yeast donuts were a little heavy and dense for my liking at first, as I am used to more fluffy versions, but now I find myself craving these squishy dense delights. We got an assorted box with: Dirt (raised yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting & oreo crumbs) - I can't help it I love Oreos and the frosting wasn't too sweet McMinnville Cream (yeast doughnut with maple frosting & filled with bavarian cream) - I thought the maple frosting would be overly sweet, but it was quite good and the bavarian cream gave a pleasant balance Tex-Ass Challenge (giant yeast doughnut) - just so so, nothing special No Name Doughnut (raised yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, rice crispies, & peanut butter) - not bad, the balance was good with the chocolate, peanut butter, and rice crispies to mellow out the sweetness. However, the rice crispies were a little stale. Not my cup of tea and probably wouldn't order again, but chocolate peanut butter lovers will love it. Mexican Chocolate (cake doughnut with cinnamon sugar & cayenne pepper) - fantastic! I often make my brownies with cayenne pepper - such a great combination. And they say cayenne increases your metabolism, so you don't have to feel as guilty eating this doughnut. Cinnamon Sugar (cake doughnut) - just as good as I have had elsewhere - I was suprised, I will admit

    With apologies to The Atomic Fireballs and "Man with the Hex" . . . Gotta get me a pastry. (Doughnut?) Oh, Doughnut with the power. (What power?) Oh, the power of Voodoo (Who do?) Oh, you do, you do (Do what?) Gotta get me a pastry. (Doughnut?) Yeah, Doughnut with the power. (What power?) Yeah, the power of Voodoo (Who do?) Yeah, you do, you do (Do what?) uh ah, Voodoo Save us, save us! Driving down Colfax on Cinco de Mayo eve (weekend?) I spied, with my little eye, that the line at Voodoo Doughnuts was barely out the door. A quick parking job later, I found myself waiting in line to try that fried sugary treat that I had been craving for many months, but had been unable to obtain. A scant 15 minutes later, and I was at the front of the line trying to make my final selections. Voodoo Doughnuts, for those who have not been, is cash only. The ATM was KO'd on this day, but I was fortunate enjoy to have a Hamilton on me (it is not always about the Benjamins). The Bacon Maple Bar doughnut (Raised yeast doughnut with maple frosting and bacon on top!) had been tantalizing me for quite some time, so this purchase was non-negotiable. The praises of the Old Dirty Bastard doughnut (Raised yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, Oreo'sâ„¢ and peanut butter!) had recently been sung to me, so this also went in the pretty pink box. For my final selection, I asked the helpful "do-nut slinger" behind the counter to recommend one. He mentioned the Miami Vice Berry doughnut (Raised yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting, blue raspberry powder and pink sprinkles!), and that sounded good to me. I had them throw in a container of cold milk, paid my bill, and I was off. A few minutes later, I was hunkered on stoop, deciding where to start. I saved the ODB and Miami Vice for later, and went to town on the Bacon Maple Bar. It was good, very good, damn good! It was definitely one of the best maple bars I have enjoyed. The bacon was a nice touch. However, at $3.25, I felt I spent rather too much on the sizzle, and not the steak. When I enjoyed the other two at my leisure, at a later time, I think I appreciated their flavors (and pricing) more than that magnificent bacon abomination. Were the doughnuts life changing? Probably not. Would I wait in line for an hour to purchase some? Highly doubtful. Were they nice and tasty? You bet your sweet bippy! So, if you are ever waiting in that longish line, and plan on seeing me later in the day, be sure to shoot me a message to see if you can pick anything up for me. I would sure appreciate it.

    I guess I built this place up in my mind after seeing it on Food Network years ago. I probably also ordered wrong so this review might not hold much weight. I got chocolate coconut and it tasted like a regular donut. I got the Oreo peanut butter for a friend and she said it was amazing so I'm going with that next time!

  • Mark C.

    Fun vibe, better apple fritter can be found at 7-11. Seriously. But you can't get a donut in the shape of a big ol boner at 7-11. Coffee is good. Fun vibe. Three stars: I won't drive across town for this, but if it were late and I were drunk, probably.

  • Jade Q.

    It didn't live up to my expectations, but it was still good. I don't even know what the names of the donuts were that I ordered, but one was basically a maple custard donut and the other has white frosting and crumbled Oreos all over it. Both were really good, but in terms of quality, they were the same as any donut shop anywhere. I expected a bit better quality, but really, Voodoo Doughnut is all about the marketing. They are reinventing the wheel. Really, if a donut is a wheel, they just changed its shape and color. The line was crazy long, probably about 20 minutes (and that was considered short, as a much longer line formed behind us). My friend said that when he's visited at 5am, there hasn't been a line. The boxes are very cute. I only bought 3 donuts all together, and we still got one of their awesome boxes. I'd recommend trying it at least once just to see what its all about because it is quite the experience aesthetically. I'm definitely not going to be a regular, though.

  • Alex N.

    Had to give this one 5 stars. Better than the doughnuts I had at the original Portland location. The gay bar was superb, and so was the Voodoo doll. Both of them were two of the best doughnuts I've ever had. And the Portland Cream is always a winner. I highly recommend sticking with the yeast doughnuts. I think their cake doughnuts and fritters are average at best. For some of the best cake doughnuts you will probably ever try, I'd recommend Beet Box. I didn't have to worry about parking. I walked there and got an Uber on the way back after eating my doughnuts at the bar next door. I was on vacation, so I had nothing but time. So I didn't mind waiting in the line. Just kind of part of the experience. If you're a local, I could see how the parking and lines could be irritating, but for me, it didn't matter.

    I like the interesting flavors and the variety, but the Captain Crunch one was gross. It was so sugary I felt like i needed to see the dentist to have my teeth cleaned after. It's cash only, so bring a wad!

  • A Marie J.

    Seemed like a good idea to get donuts at 3:30 in the morning. Voodoo was close so why not. What I got was a huge box of deliciousness. They have a huge selection and fun flavors with names like ol dirty bastard. All for the not so reasonable price of $24.00. Pretty expensive for a box of donuts. I started questioning my good idea.

    I love SWEETS I love DOUGHNUTS Finally was able to try this place (here for a business trip). Awesome store that opens 24/7 and that bakes Fresh Doughnuts every hour. Over 40 selections, Prices are between $ 2.00 - $ 5.00 - Original VooDoo Doughnut - First couple of bite was good, but then it got too sweet and the Raspberry Jelly was on one side of the doughnut and got too messy. They need to figure it out how to balance the Jelly inside the doughnut. - Bacon Maple Bar Doughnut - Again, It was good the first 2 bites, and then It got too sweet that I couldn't finish it. - Grape Ape Doughnut - One or my favorites since is plain Doughnut with Vanilla and grape flavor frosting. It's good to have it once in a blue moon. Street parking, depending on what time you're going, lines can be ridiculously long or you don't have to wait. *************************CASH ONLY ************************ **************************OPEN 24/7*************************

    The doughnuts are good, but their quirky creations attract more than their taste. The cash only policy is slightly inconvenient. Beware of the parking situation. There is street parking only -- If you park out back in the parking lot, your car WILL get booted the second you walk away by a man sitting in his car just waiting for you to risk a ticket for the 10 minutes you'll be make getting your doughnut fix. He will charge you $100 to take the boot off and you will have bought the most expensive $8 worth of doughnuts you've ever had. It definitely diminishes the doughnuts' satisfaction significantly...

    $$$CASH ONLY$$$ (Nov 2014) I remember with equal parts fondness and embarrassment the days of my vegan youth when I went to Portland and marched right into Voodoo Doughnut. I nearly pee'd my pants with glee. Not only were there crazy concocted donuts, but many were in totally vulgar shapes aaaaaand there were vegan options aaaaand only disaffected punk rockers were slinging them. If memory serves there was also a juke box and some vintage arcade games? I dunno. It was a while back. But it was a rocker's haven. Some of that has been transplanted into this Denver location, though everything is cleaner and a little more institutional. That's ok, they need to appease all the suburbanites-who-just-moved-to-the-city. Know your market. There are still snarky and pierced people behind the counter (which tickles me pink). There are still odd donuts topped with strange things. But about 60% of the grit is gone which makes paying $3 for a donut that is so disgustingly sweet and over-topped that even my queen of a sweet tooth recedes into my gums. The foundation donut actually is pretty tasty (love me some yeast-risen goodness) - it's the glaze and frosting that just kills it for me. These are way more 'junk food hangover' donuts than fancy donuts - which is fine - maybe I've just aged out of it. I now prefer something like an artisanal delicate lavender donut with slightly savory rosemary glaze (my 20 year-old self just flipped me off and punched me in the face). Also, if you don't want the wait, there are always off hours. Weeknights after 11pm are consistently dead, which bodes well for we, the somnambulists, who live/d in the neighborhood.

    This place is rockin! It is open all the time, has delish doughnuts, and the service is great. Every time I go, the people working are always nice and hilarious! Some of the doughnuts are way to sweet for me, but the peach fritter is just ridiculous it is so good! Check it out if you are in the area. They only take cash though, FYI

    (5)

  • Poizon I.

    Cash only so make sure you come prepared. My favorite is the maple bacon. I really do not care so much for the other ones. It is way too sweet and the donut is too big for me. (I want to enjoy it and not be sick of it). The cereal ones seems stale even when fresh (I've tried it several times) but still a must try to see for yourself...you can be the judge. Love the decorations which makes it fun. Honestly, I think it's over-rated. I may be able to have their donuts once in a while but I can't do their donuts all the time. I'd feel like I'm setting myself up for diabetes.

  • Stephen K.

    I don't normally splurge on doughnuts because a) it's hard enough keeping my weight at bay even with fewer carbs, increased veggies and a sizable amount of biking, and b) I'm diabetic. It's a curse, especially if you love carbs. I will, however, fly in the face of danger here and there when the opportunity presents itself. I was, in fact, walking to Torta Grill (a place I found does "food swaps" with Voodoo -- lucky coexistence!) when I noticed I was in front of Voodoo. I just rolled my eyes, shrugged, and decided I'd carve another notch in my belt here -- or maybe loosen it another notch. :P Voodoo has a solid...I don't even know if I can call it a hipster vibe. When I went in around 3pm, there were business professionals, high school kids, hipsters, 2 goths, some day laborers that had just gotten off. It was pretty crowded. The server at the counter I spoke with told me this was "slow" for them. Just blows my mind imagining them at "rush hour". There are a huge assortment of specialty-created donuts here. Or doughnuts. I really don't know if there is a specific difference when one could use 1 spelling or the other preferably. There is a big rotating tower filled with confections for your viewing pleasure. The bottom tier is the least expensive, which are "cake donuts". Smaller, more solid, less airy - but that doesn't mean you're shorting yourself here getting one of those. There is a crazy assortment of toppings on all of their treats here, ranging from just plain sugar to sprinkles, breakfast cereal (Captain Crunch and crunch berries were on one), M&Ms, bacon...a LOT to choose from. The next tier up is the "yeast-raised" doughnuts, which are softer and airier -- but by no means hollow. The bigger, soft sugar-or-chocolate glazed kind is probably what most people have run into here, or jelly-filled; but there are more than a few to choose from here. Finally on top, there are specialty pastries and bearclaws. I settled on a mango goo-filled vanilla and Tang-frosted-top smeared yeast doughnut, and the peach fritter topped with cream cheese frosting. I *think* the Mango Tango was $2-something; the peach fritter was $3.25. The *size* of that fritter could easily feed 4 people -- it would eclipse a younger child's head if you held it up to block. (Right before they chomped down on it.) I ate about 1/3 of the fritter last night post-bar return and was very satisfied, and swirled down into a happy dazy ready-for-bed state of mind. If you're tired of the same ol' same ol' with fried dough, check this place out and treat yourself to something special. (The staff, also, was really helpful too.) As others have noted, *bring cash* -- they do not do cards here (but supposedly there is an ATM on the premises).

    I'm not a huge doughnut person, at least not in my older years. However, I loved doughnuts as a kid. But, if I'm going to eat a doughnut, I'm eating it from VooDoo. My lord these doughnuts are good. And who can't love a doughnut called the "old dirty bastard".

  • Marianne L.

    Fun place to try, but all of us agreed that our half dozen we got were all too sweet. I have a medium case of sugar tooth, but it was too much for me by the last third of my donut. So if nothing is too sugary for you, you should definitely check this place out!

  • Heather W.

    I'm mystified why this place is so popular. We made a special trip, and man, were we disappointed. First, the doughnuts: we ordered the Captain My Captain, a Boston creme-like doughnut, and a basic glazed, to get the full spectrum. The glaze on every one of them was clumpy, as if they glopped the last bit out of the pan onto the dough. The Captain My Captain's dough was very chewy and yeasty. Yuk. The service was worse. It was our first time, so when the register opened up, we stepped over to it from the front of the line. The counter guy had gone to get boxes from the back, and when he returned he gave us a sneer and said, "People usually wait until we call them up." I said that it was our first time--sorry, didn't know the rules. He looked at me with another sneer and said, "Indeed." My oh my, for a moment we thought we were in Kingston Upon Thames, LOL. His attitude never improved. Maybe it's the kitschy tattoo parlor-hipster vibe (funky decor, sexual innuendo slogans, woman in line with blue hair, everyone dressed in black and sporting piercings or tattoos or both, bakers with long beards and Rastafarian hats on milling about by the registers), that entices people to frequent the place. We can get that just walking down Colfax, and keep the $8 spent on three doughnuts. We won't be back, and do not recommend.

  • Jason S.

    I went in because of all of the hype and found myself sorta wishing that I hadn't... First off, not one person working in the back kitchen area was wearing gloves and worse, I saw one of the long bearded gentlemen itching the beard and continuing to work. It just turned me off to even wanting to eat one. Second, you don't take credit cards???!!!! For sure one of those places that is more hyped up than it should be.

  • Sarah P.

    My husband and I saw this place on the way to the bluebird theater and noticed a line out the door, so we decided to check it out after our show. When we got there at 10:00pm the line was still out the door. We figured they must be some pretty awesome donuts and jumped in line. It took us an HOUR to get to the register! Their check out process is pretty silly. They let people pick out their individual dozen donuts then the cashier runs back to locate each donut. When we got to our car I greedily dove into my giant cream filled donut to find only half was filled with cream. I felt it was too big, over iced and the cream wasn't anything to write home about. I would prefer smaller, tastier, better quality ingredients. I am glad we ordered a variety of these donuts because I won't be spending an hour in line waiting for donuts again.

  • Cody C.

    I must admit, I'm a Voodoo frequenter after a night of "light drinking" downtown. I'm a sucker for the Captain Crunch donut. We typically get 6 donuts and only eat 1 or two due to the overwhelming sugar punch you get to the gut after you eat one. They're wonderful hangover food as well! Be warned that they are a CASH ONLY establishment! If you're running low on cash, there is an ATM in the restaurant, but there's a fee (like there is on all mobile ATMs) and the machine is hella slow, so you may lose your place in line if the connection to the Internet on the machine is janky that night. #WeLoveVoodoo

    Things I love about these people: Cash only. They sold me a yodeling record once. ODB. And no matter how long the line or how busy, the person waiting to take that cash has always been way friendly and pleasant to deal with. I'm trying to be less fat, but I still gotta have an ODB once month. Love this one and the original in Portland. Portland gets my love for the nearby strip clubs. Nothing better than saving a few singles for a donut on the walk back to camp!

    Being from the Midwest, we don't have off-beat donut shops like this. The closet ive ever come to a voodoo donut is that beer collaboration they did with Rogue brew company. Welp. Now ive experienced it. It was good. It was neat. The line was only 10 people deep on a Saturday morning at 10 am. Sadly, cash only (Surprisingly, I DID have cash on me). We paid wayyy too much for a dozen donuts but when this is your only chance to try a donut in the shape of a voodoo doll that has a pretzel for a penis or a donut with maple glaze and a piece of bacon on it (The germ-a-phobe in me did cringe; meat shouldn't be sitting out in the "danger zone" for too long). Kudos for their creativity, though I know it doesn't take much to make hungover/stoned stomachs happy. It was a fun adventure for an out-of-towner.

    Finally made it to Vodoo Doughnuts on a trip to Denver!!! These doughnuts are bomb af, so many choices. My favorites were the raspberry romeo- filled doughnut and the Mr. Captain crunch cereal doughnut. Can't wait to try more on my next out of town trip.

    I went to this place on 4/20/2015 at 8pm. First, there was a line out of the door (not happy about that) and it was cold outside. Ok, I thought. If there is a line, this donuts have to be freaking amazing. I waited about 45 mins, through the cold and bums (I was woth friends). The folks working there did not seem that interested in there jobs, however no one was rude and they took our order. I am a simple woman with simple taste, I ordered an apple fritter and plain glazed donut. My friend ordered the miami vice donut and one other that I can't think of the name for. I like the pink boxes that the donuts come in. As far a taste of donuts, I was not that impressed. My friend on the other hand loved it. Maybe because I didn't order anything fancy, but to me, I have had better donuts at Krispy Kreme. I say go once for the experience, the ambience and to people watch. But that's it.

    Every summer we visit Voodoo Donuts in Portland, So why not visit the Denver store when we were in Colorado? It was snowing, but we made it to the Colfax Ave, and got the parking right in front of the store across the street! And no line???? That never happens in PDX! But there was a short line inside. Got our usual plus some new things to bring them back to New York. The sight of the pink box made so many people happy at the late night in the airport. Oh they were good - miss them already.

    Loved every doughnut we ordered, and I'm not a huge doughnut person. My mom who LOVES doughnuts said these may be the best she's ever had. Definitely try the maple bacon doughnut, but don't stop there! There was a a long wait, but so worth it!!!!

  • Ali A.

    It's about a 20 to 25 minute drive from my house but it's sooo worth it! But be ready to stand in line for maybe 15 minutes because the few times I've been there the lines were out the door! Delicious donuts though, my all time favorite is the Arnold Palmer and the glazed one. Have a water ready too because it sure is sweet!

    C'mon man. These donuts make Krispy Kreme donuts seem sugar-free. There's a year of diabetes in every one of these donuts. Plus, it seems all they do is take a regular ass donut and throw a buncha different stuff from your kitchen cabinet on top and now all of the sudden you have a donut worth lining down half a city block for. Nahhhhh. I'm calling bullshit on this place. If you want a gimmick, this place seems to be the spot. If you want a tasty donut, meaning the donut itself and not the toppings, I don't think this place does justice.

    (2)

  • Jon F.

    Voodoo Doughnut was great and had tasty, reasonably priced doughnuts, but I don't get the hype. Sure, I love the name, and the namesake is fun and creative. You can get Cocoa Puffs and a couple of other cool toppings, but there's not really all that much special to the doughnuts. If they offered a chocolate glazed donut with Cocoa Puffs on the outside and filled it with vanilla frosting I'd probably flip updside down and say it was the best thing on earth. Just putting cereal on a doughnut is an accident that was waiting to happen (and an accident I can yawn at... I've been doing it for years). I did try both the maple bacon bar and the ODB. Both were good, but totally just another (good) doughnut. I'm lucky there wasn't a big line. If I had to wait more than a few minutes, I'd probably say "not worth it". That said, if you're just looking for a good, simple donut and can get in when there's no wait - go for it! Can't hurt to try.

  • Kara H.

    DONT PARK BEHIND THE SHOP. Not for 5 minutes. The tow company will put a boot on your car and charge you $100. They are running quite the neat little scam in that parking lot. The donuts are creative and fun, but they are so sweet they gave me a stomach-ache (which I never ever thought could happen). Also, the place is cash only. The Portland cream is similar to a Boston cream and was delicious, but I don't quite get all the buzz about voodoo donuts. There are better donuts in Denver (and most of them even have parking lots).

  • Leah R.

    These doughnuts look really cool, but they didn't do anything for me. I was so disappointed. You'd have to be blind not to see all the sugar caked on these things. Of course donuts are supposed to be sweet, but my goodness, it's a mouthful of sugar and icing. This really isn't a place for a good breakfast doughnut. Maybe if you're looking for an intriguing dessert, but be ready. You'll probably fill your sugar quota with the first bite. And don't think you can leave these out for later. There's so much sugar and icing on them, that they'll turn rock hard fast. We had bought an assorted box of them to share with friends, but after taking a few bites, no one wanted to continue, and we ended up throwing almost everything away. It wasn't worth the late night trip, especially in that part of town.

  • Lucy W.

    Long lines, check. Sweet tooth satisfied, check! I went to Voodoo twice during my trip to Colorado, once at the beginning of the trip (unwisely on a busy Sunday afternoon) and once at the end (late Saturday night). The theme park-like line moves pretty fast, even when it goes out the door, since the counter staff are pros at keeping it moving. (And don't be the jerk who holds the door open when it is 20 degrees outside...wait until someone exits and the line moves up.) They had all flavors available, listed on an electronic menu board above the counter so make your decisions while standing in line. I was afraid that with the popularity, they would run out of the doughnuts I came here specifically to try, but they have plenty of inventory since they are producing doughnuts 24/7. Look online for more detailed descriptions, and to giggle at the funny, tongue-in-cheek doughnut names. I would say that the wait and the search for street parking is only worth it if you get at least 4 doughnuts. Value is pretty good, since the doughnuts are huge...if you've been to other gourmet doughnut shops, the prices are comparable (though more expensive than traditional doughnut shops). I tried the following, all of which I loved: maple bacon bar, Mexican hot chocolate, maple crueller, blueberry cake doughnut. I wanted to try more, but there's only so much I can eat...I wish they had doughnut bite versions of everything so that I could have tried more. Both yeast and cake doughnuts are made really well and are fresh...fluffy & light. All their maple doughnuts (they have 3 or 4 doughnuts that use maple glaze) are delicious. For all those people who complained about the doughnuts being too sweet...hello, they are doughnuts, they are supposed to be sweet. If you can't handle sugar frosting, filling and glaze, get a plain cake doughnut or I don't know...don't come here to buy doughnuts! Worth the (multiple) trips, even just for the maple bacon doughnut, which I bought several to bring back with me on the plane...Warning though, the signature pink box will get you lots of looks while walking through airports. I remember awhile ago when I was at Atlanta's airport, I nearly tackled another person when I saw the pink box, asking if they had a maple bacon doughnut.

  • Phil H.

    They're good donuts. They're fun and unique. But I just don't think they're worth the wait at any hour. The line makes me crazy, and I just can't stand that I have to wait upwards of 30 minutes for the privilege of paying "boutique" prices for donuts. There are plenty of other alternatives where you'll be in and out much quicker, and that, to me, makes up for the lack of quirky flavors. It's a fun place to take out-of-towners who have heard legends of voodoo, but honestly, I don't know that it lives up to the hype.

  • Holly B.

    Was visiting my sister in Denver for the first time and just driving along, out of the corner of my eye I saw voodoo so I cranked my head around as we drove by and then I saw doughnuts in the window and that was that. We had to turn around. I had heard of them through foodies on Instagram and my sister had had them before in Oregon but didn't realize they were in Denver, so this was a really lucky find for us. The staff was friendly and I really liked the girl who rang us out, super nice and we shared some common interests like amethyst and studio ghibli t shirts haha. I felt awful not tipping but the bill I had was large, there was a line behind us and let's face it I'm broke so I couldn't drop the whole bill in. I promise to get you guys next time!! Thanks for the great service and doughnuts.

Don't be like me looking at the menu excitedly and happily and picking out 6 donuts while waiting in line, only to see the darn sign "CASH ONLY" Who carries cash around anyway...not me but I guess everyone else. My favorite is the Oreo donut, sprinkles donut, and chocolate donut. Why are they so good? I dislike it when I can taste the oil in donuts and I cannot taste that in my Voodoo donuts. Best to buy a bunch to friends and get a piece of every available donut. Note to self: BRING KA-CHING!!

    Okay, at first I was a little dubious about these donuts, 'they can't be any better than Shipley's' lol I was waiting in line for over 30 minutes now, curious to what it is about these donuts. Well, they definitely have a lot of options to choose from for one, effort in the creativity, flavors and people seem to love them. I see people waiting at the crosswalks, chilling in the park, at other restaurants with voodoo boxes, well now since now I've had a taste. They good, but they not that good. I would so drive across town for some haha

    I can't express how happy I am that we finally have a voodoo donuts in Denver. Some people say it's overrated, but if you've never had a donut here you really are missing out! It's a CASH ONLY establishment that is open 24 hours. The line to get donuts can be long so don't always expect for it to be a quick trip. My personal favorites are the captain crunch donut, apple fritters, maple bacon, and the Oreo donut, but there are tons of really yummy options to choose from. very filling so if you buy a box it'll probably last you a few days. The staff is also really cool. Never disappointed in my voodoo experiences.

    Can we stop kidding ourselves? If you're going to say you got your pink box, then by all means, head out to voodoo. But don't tell me they have tasty donuts. Every time I've had them they are stale cardboard. Would take an Alton's plain cake any day of the week.

    Voodoo doughnuts! What was formerly a West Coast exclusive, happens to be open just a few blocks from me. The convenience of a 24/7 doughnut shop within walking distance has not been lost upon me. I love sweets and I really love the creativity that is voodoo doughnuts. If you can dream it up on a doughnut they probably have it, and likely do it pretty well. However the doughnuts are not what drags the rating of this attraction (and I call it that for a reason down). The doughnuts are undoubtedly above average, but they are also above average both in price, and in wait time. While a very neat novelty the first few visits, now I reserve this for drunken nights (or hungover mornings) and when the occasional craving hits me during the drive home (as long as their is no line). The place only takes cash, with an ATM happy to take your ATM fee positioned by the door. There is often a wait and not just a short wait, often quite lengthy, and the doughnuts are just not so so good that I must have them despite the higher cost, wait and pain of having cash available. I certainly won't stop going here, since the doughnuts are in fact pretty good, the staff is friendly, and the variety is excellent, but it's not regular treat.

    Went last Sunday to buy lots of donuts for the family. Really great selection, but no gluten free donuts at this location. Too bad, since it seems the Portland store has them. Also had to order each donut individually, since some people in our group wanted certain donuts. No way to order the cheaper dozen and get what you want. The line on Sunday morning is quite long and heads out the door. Bring your phone so you can get lots of work done in the line. Everyone loved the donuts and it was worth it.

    Before I begin... Parking is tricky & it is cash only! The customer service is great.. Our cashier didn't mind answering questions I'm sure she'd heard many times before. It was our first time there so we didn't know exactly what was in each doughnut or what was in their voodoo dozen doughnut box (I forget the correct name but they are the ones pick which doughnuts go in it; they can put certain ones in & will let you request a couple. Also you can buy some of the more expensive doughnuts that are $2+ in your box at an extra cost). Each doughnut was really good and I am pretty much constantly craving them now. I liked the M&M one a lot and even just their plain chocolate ones are great.The names of a lot of their doughnuts are hilarious. I will be going back soon!

  • Christopher B.

    I find this place overhyped. I think you feel compelled to buy more than you would normally because you wait to get it and don't want to regret not getting enough later. That certainly happened to me anyway. I tried all their funky concoctions and deducted that I still like the Old Fashioned and Boston Creme the best. They were both good... the problem is everything here is just way overpriced for donuts and most of them are hardly worth it.

    (3)

  • Eric F.

    Donuts are delicious. Ordered the Voodoo Doll which has a strawberry or raspberry filling. It has a pretzel stick in the middle that mixes with the sweetness so well...this is a winner! I had the Portland cream which was cool on the cream. I ordered 2 other donuts with Oreos on top which were good as well. Long wait but worth the wait and it's open 24 hours a day so why not...

  • Christopher G.

    Do you ever just sit there perplexed and wonder what - the - heck. Perhaps many a man who stood in line for Cronuts on his vacation had the same thought. I dunno.. I've never had a Cronut Yet I did wait for a VoodDoo doughnut. I got a Doughnut that was all flair, no substance. We are talking a decent doughnut topped with something weird (like Cap'n'Crunch) existing doughnut shops I go to (like the Donut in Centennial) have crispier/yummier dough, better vanilla cream, and all around better execution). The nail in the Voodoo is their unpreparedness for peanut allergies. Seriously a lot of kids (2-3%) have peanut allergies. You would expect a trendy place to have this down cold. They acted as if I was speaking Klingon. . .and they were like "yeah, we have peanuts. . .I dunno. .we aren't careful so i wouldn't eat it. Thanks Voodoo, but I already had better options in Colorado!

  • Kayla H.

    Absolutely worth the wait in line. Deciding which four flavored to try was the hardest decision of my day. Went with captain crunch, voodoo doll, maple bacon, and chocolate Oreo peanut butter. The rotating show cases right by the registers make it easy to just point and order.

  • Ellen Y.

    It's an experience you ought to try! Super tasty donuts! Some very creative donut-makers working here for sure! I've always stood in line but it moves quickly & worth it!

  • Diana W.

    Are the donuts worth an hour wait? Probably not. Are they beyond delicious? Not really. But you can't hide the smile from your face when you walk in here. Not only does it smell divine but there are chandeliers and PINK PINK everywhere. Parking can be a bit of a pain around the area. Their menu is available on their website as well as on chic tv screens inside. Their apple fritters are huge and delicious. They offer cake and plain donuts to satisfy anyone. If you have a picky eater, don't worry they have glazed donuts in addition to their crazy topping filled ones. I wouldn't go here for just a donut but its a fun place to take out of towners for sure!

  • Crystal Girl S.

    Um..........Yes! What a fun place that has a variety of donuts you have never seen before. We happen to be eating at a restaurant nearby and a group of guys brought in these amazing looking donuts for desert and I had to try them. Not something I could do on a regular basis because I could easily gain 10lbs just smelling them but super fun for a nice treat or to take to someone. If I'm going to eat a donut - which I don't normally do - this is the place to satisfy my craving.

  • Vivian M.

    Worth the calories! I am not a donut eater, so they have to be worth it. The What's a peach was delicious! We tried several and they were tasty. We will be ordering 10 dozens for our son's 10:00 am wedding. Hoping it will be a treat for our out of town guest. Friday morning at 10, the line was a 25 min wait. The line moves slow because lots of people, Including myself were asking the counter help to describe the donuts. They would do well to have pictures and descriptions while you are waiting in line. So, you can be ready with your order.

  • LeAnne K.

    Loved this place! Very unique. The donuts are not only interesting and different but also delicious!!! Love taking my out of town friends/family to this place. Only downfall is it can be a bit pricey but well worth it.

  • John H.

    Donuts were great but super expensive got 8 or so and paid $120. DO NOT park out back I ran my wife and daughter around front because it said you will be towed. I was literally away from my car maybe 90 seconds. There is a guy sitting in his truck that runs out and boots your car the second you leave it. I accept responsibilty it says no parking and I parked so my bad. He only accepts cash to remove the boot $100. I paid it without a fight again my stupidity but I watched him boot 4 more cars as I ran to the ATM. I warned 4 more as they tried to park there just so he wouldn't cash in. If you want to make some money just stand outside that lot and warn people so he can't cash in until he pays you to go away. Donuts were fun though we did enjoy them just not $120 fun...

  • Jesse B.

    The wait outside was a little bit crazy. I went in March, so it was snowy and cold. Stood in line for about 20 minutes before getting inside and then standing in line for about 15 minutes. That being said, if you go knowing that there will be a wait, it's not as bad. They ONLY take cash, so be aware of that before you go. I ordered a dozen doughnuts to go (that's the only option...there's no place to sit inside) when I got to the front of the line. Each one was a different flavor and each one was very good. The maple bacon was my absolute favorite, though the Grape Ape and the Loop doughnut (covered in frosting and Fruit Loops) were also good. The maple-frosted cruller and glazed blueberry cake donut were also very good! One other thing to make note of: there's no parking lot, so you have to find some parking on one of the side streets nearby and walk.

  • Rebecca a.

    I had lowered my expectations because of all the previous bad reviews... They were wrong... Glad I checked this place out!! My fiancé brought me home a raspberry Romeo, which is a raspberry jelly filled donut, glazed. It was EXACTLY what I was craving and I know I am now officially addicted to this place. I also was given a apple fritter, which even tho I was so full from the first donut, I could not stop eating this amazingly delicious apple fritter donut! Even the fiancé was stealing bites!! My fiancé got himself 2 choc cake donuts, which he enjoyed.

  • Yesenia P.

    I mean just the best doughnuts you will have in ur life! The creative ones are amazing but the plain glazed for me are my favorite! Oh yea and let's not forget the one and only maple blazer blunt

  • J K.

    Nothing special, and have never been able to figure out what the deal is. Their donuts are covered in random stuff, so I guess that is cool to some people. I'm not a big fan of the crap they put on their donuts, and their regular ol' donuts are mediocre at best. You're basically paying for the chance to stand in a giant line, to get served by the textbook definition of snobby hipsters to get overrated and overpriced donuts. But hey, if I'm in the area and wasted drunk, I'll probably just keep walking anyway. But if someone brings them to work or buys me one, I'll eat it.

  • Ashley M.

    So, on a recent trip to Denver, I finally get to try the popular Voodoo doughnuts! We decided to make a random late-night stop and upon approaching the shop, the line is already 4-5 people out the door, and my Denver native friends warned it would only grow longer as the night wore on. And boy, did the line continue inside the store, wrapped around in a snake reminiscent of waiting to get on your favorite roller coaster. However, this line is a bit of a tease because you get close to the doughnut display where everything looks fresh and incredible, then have to move a bit and don't see it anymore, but then, AHA, there it is again! From the display, everything looks incredible and you'll be tempted to eat them all. However, I would advise, like my friends and I did, to use your precious time to research and look at their menu and doughnut descriptions online while you're waiting in line and only pick one or two you would love to eat. I ended up ordering one of their signature doughnuts, the bacon maple bar. We sat on the sidewalk and ate our doughnuts right after exciting the store and because I had time to check out some reviews while waiting in line, I knew not to expect too, too much. I took my first and only bite of my doughnut--the dough was a bit tough but the true killer was the maple frosting. It was so, so sweet that just one bite and I knew I would probably go into cardiac arrest if I ate any more. I debated taking a second, or even a few more bites since I stood in line for so long awaiting this doughnut, but I couldn't bring myself to face a sudden death. On the upside, I ate the two slices of bacon, which were, ironically cooked perfectly--crispy, salty, delicious. Are they meant to be the highlight of the doughnut and to take away from how awful the doughnut is itself? I digress. My friend tried an apple fritter--it was fresh and hot, with perfect texture. Maybe I'll try that my next go around. 3 stars because you should definitely try this place at least once, props for being able to sustain their business with mediocre doughnuts, and if there is a next time, I'll definitely stay away from any frosting.

    First off, you have to get a kick out of the hilarious presentations and creative recipes they serve. The flavors I had were very tasty. Points off for not explaining what each flavor actually is (they have funny names) - I had to pull up their website on my phone. I didn't want to ask the clerk because we waited long enough anyway. But it was worth it!!!

  • Meredith M.

    My trip to Denver was not complete before I made a pit-stop to Voodoo. The donuts were fresh and the staff was friendly. I was expecting to feel rushed and pressured once I got to the counter, but that wasn't the case. My favorite was the Old Dirty Bastard (yeast donut, with chocolate glaze, peanut butter and crushed oreos). I wanted to love to spicy chocolate cake donut with cayenne and cinnamon, but for me it was a miss. The donut didn't have enough of a chocolate taste and was overshadowed by the cayenne. Just a tip, remember your cash. No credit cards.

  • Jessica M.

    Well, that was tasty! I'm happy to say that after weeks of driving past this place, I was able to pick a time to stop by without needing to wait in line. Kudos to this place for having such rabid fans, but I'm not ever going to wait in line that long for a donut.... Anyway, I'm more of a basic donut person, but my hubby loved the Memphis Mafia. He also had the bacon maple bar, but he said it was "a little weird." Maybe we're just not that adventurous of people. I stuck with the old-fashioned donut, which was delightful. For some reason these can be hard for places to make, but Voodoo nailed it. For everything they have on the menu and all the other distractions, they seem to really know their basic stuff. 4 stars for the old-fashioned being so tasty, if it wasn't - 3 stars. We'll be back, but only if I'm driving by and the line isn't so long.

  • Sami V.

    What an eclectic place! It's perfect! As a former visitor of PDX I was stoked to hear they opened in Denver cuz I'm here way more than Portland! Mae waited til the extreme hype wore off and just went this weekend. Be prepared for cash only and you're set! The vegan dozen was perfect and sweet but not too sweet. Keep this place in mind for your donut needs.

    The doughnut itself tastes good without the sugar overload. Long line. Staff were helpful and quick. Coffee is alright.

    Love all the vegan options! Super fast service for some yummy doughnuts!

    (5)

  • Tim O.

    Over rated!! There a much better doughnuts in and around Denver than these. The frosting is good but the doughnuts themselves are stale tasting. They are better at marketing then making a quality doughnut.

    (2)

  • Allison L.

    I'm more of a classically flavored doughnut person so it's probably just not my cup of tea. I find that doughnuts are sweet enough without all the chocolate frosting/cereal/cookies and whatever else they top them with. I was able to try the maple bacon and that was pretty good. The staff was really friendly and the line moved semi fast. I can see the appeal for some people but I probably would only go here again as a novelty for out of town people visiting.

  • Lindsey P.

    Good things really do come in Pink Boxes :) Went to VooDoo for the first time - wasn't disappointed! Very short line on Friday, mid-morning. I was expecting a line out the door. My friend and I shared a Maple Bacon Bar and an M&M cake donut...we also got an Old Dirty Bastard donut but were too full to eat it. Tried it the next day...I don't suppose donuts are known for being GREAT on the second day. DOH! Both the Maple Bacon Bar and the M&M were EXCELLENT. They were perfection. So many choices. How can you go wrong, really?! Will definitely be back...because yum.

    3 stars for Voodoo Donuts. Were they bad? No. Were they amazing and worth the 15 minute drive to Colfax? No. And they are certainly not worth the 2-3 hour wait I have been reading in other reviews. Thankfully, I was the first person there for their 6am opening so there was no wait. For the half dozen, I decided I'd purchase 3 of their unique creations and 3 donut standards so I could compare the actual doughnut. For the unique/funky donuts I ordered: the Captain my Captain, Old Dirty Bastard and the No Name Doughnut. For the standards I ordered: the Sprinkle doughnut, Chocolate cake doughnut and the Old Fashioned Doughnut. I cut them all into fourths so we could sample all of them without going into diabetic shock. The two with vanilla frosting (Captain my Captain & Sprinkles), were cloying. I could barely eat the bites of them let alone a whole doughnut. The Old Dirty Bastard and No Name were both tasty, the Old Fashioned and Chocolate doughnut were nondescript and honestly, tasted like a King Soopers doughnut. In fact, these donuts are all about the toppings and fillings, strip those away and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Voodoo and King Soopers. Finally service. The woman who assisted me was friendly enough for 6am, but she muttered back answers when I asked questions and I could barely understand her. This was frustrating because I couldn't read the teensy tiny font on their menu. Additionally, she got the chocolate doughnut wrong. I asked for a chocolate cake doughut and I meant a cake doughnut with chocolate frosting. What I got was a chocolate doughnut with glaze...probably my least favorite doughnut. I double checked their website just now and I'm not sure where the communication gap was since I asked for the correct item per their website's menu. To sum it up:I went to Voodoo Doughnuts to treat our house guests and to see if they lived up to the hype. I don't think they do. I think they are perfect as a novelty after a concert at one of the venues on Colfax or a night out at the bars. However for a dozen as a family or office treat? There are better options all over town.

    I love the blueberry and maple doughnuts! They have some fun flavors! This place is delicious and it's almost always open! You can't beat that! It's a must try! Just remember it's cash only!

  • Joe P.

    Descriptive phrase: give me ALL the donuts! The people-watching in line at VooDoo Doughnuts late at night is something special. I wish they had better signage explaining what was what, but I was extremely happy with my choices. From best to not-best: Dirt (oreo), Marshall Mathers (M&M), Neapolitan (vanilla, strawberry, marshmallow), Triple Chocolate Penetration (chocolate with cocoa-puffs). All were still good and interesting, just preferred the Dirt and MM. And the prices were not as outrageous as I expected, definitely fair. So nom, definite recommendation.

    Fashionably long line. A decent donut hidden under diabetic-coma inducing layers of sugar flavored whatever.

  • Lily S.

    Really don't know what the big deal is. To me, it's over-priced overly-sweetened-and-decorated subpar-fried-dough. I guess the fun must be in the anticipation, which, after several months of opening, and operating 24 hours a day, we still had to wait in line for an hour on an early Saturday afternoon. Of course the ATM machine was down, good thing we knew to bring cash. The major wait, now I figured, is mainly due to decision difficulty when faced with this many choices. It took us 15 minutes for our order, if that's the average, then you do the math. Would be neater if they hand out paper menus and/or have little flags on the sample donuts indicating what they are; but I see it as the store's tactic (to have neither). Just like the psychology with the broken ATM machine, people can't help but get sucked in. The buttermilk bar must be really good because they were all out of it. We paid almost $35 for a custom dozen (the Voodoo or Classic dozen are both pre-selected which include at least half that are cake donuts, I couldn't wrap that idea around my head) plus one of each of the specialty: Tex-Ass (just a huge glazed yeast donut) and Cocks&Balls (didn't really look like what you would think if you didn't know the name of it). At least I could say I've been to Voodoo Doughnut. Yes, VD has lots of donuts to offer and are all unusually decorated, but they are neither exceptional in taste nor pieces of art. So I'll just stick to my neighborhood donut shops or other more humble chains like Lamar's whose goodies happen to taste fresher. I gotta give a shout-out to the staff at VD though, they all tirelessly served eager customers and were patient and friendly. Thank you! Update: after going though half of our dozen donuts, the verdict is in: get the yeast raised topped with Oreo bits. My boyfriend picked it out (he only got to choose one, lol) and it turned out to be the best, it's not fair, he has that kind of ability, lol. It's good because the Oreo pieces didn't distract from the donut (as I thought it would) because it's been drizzled with some kind of peanut butter sauce, making the cookies soft (but not soggy). The sweetness level is balanced by the sauce and the fact that the cookie bits don't include the sweet cream. This one alone is 4-stars.

  • Nikki K.

    Sure the doughnuts are great but not really worth the wait or the price. This is one of those places you need to go to simply to know you're gone, but you're better off finding doughnuts somewhere you can park more easily for a fraction of the price. That being said, just check it out once for yourself. CASH ONLY (though they have an ATM)

    (3)

  • Frankie C.

    CASH ONLY! Outstanding! After seeing Voodoo Doughnuts featured on Man Vs. Food I had to try it and on my most recent trip to Denver I was lucky enough to make time to grab some for breakfast. The staff was friendly and seemed like they enjoyed working there. Positive vibes all around. Even though the line was out the door (usually a great sign) the line moved quickly. The doughnuts were amazing! All the doughnuts were fresh and delicious but the Bacon Maple Doughnut was my favorite by far. The bacon was crunchy and salty which perfectly complemented the sweet maple icing. It is a must for any visit to Voodoo Doughnuts.

    On my last weekend living in Cheesman with this literally at the end of my street...I KNEW I had to check it out. Yes, I know that I'm *just* moving to Cap Hill but I won't ever live this close again. I got in line on a Friday night after work after finding out they had opened at 5 pm. I lucked out with the line not being very long at all. I met some pretty die hard Voodoo Donut fanatics in line who were telling me all about their favorites. And heh heh, Colfax Creme and cock n'balls really sounded the most interesting. (For the record, I passed on both this first trip out). After an hour of waiting, I stepped up to the register, shaking, nervous that I wouldn't screw up my order. I got: Fruit Loop and a Capn Crunch donut, Mango Tang, Grape, Miami Vice, Maple bacon, and a Voodoo donut. My favorite was by far the Grape and Mango Tang. Each offered a light dusting of flavor...and have you ever had a grape and or mango flavored donut? yeah, neither have I. I totally messed up and forgot to order the Oreo donut though, but I will save that for the next trip. This place is funky, eclectic, and a unique donut experience. Do I think it is worth the wait? Yes, maybe once just to check it out...but I likely won't be doing it anytime soon. Come Jan 15 they will be open and at 24 hours at that. I'll definitely be back once the hype dies down to check out all the other flavors. please note, this is a CASH ONLY establishment but there is an ATM in the building (it moves at a snail pace BTW).

    Yummy... Tons of off the wall combos that are tasty and delish. We got the Rapper's Delight- $4.20. It includes a maple "blunt" donut, M&M frosted donut, and the ODB- (donut topped with crushed Oreo, frosting, and peanut butter.) super yum!

    (5)

  • Natalie T.

    Love that they have lots of options. Narrow it down by the type of donut that you'll be in the mood for...cake or yeast donuts. Then pick according to the filling or topping. Enjoyed their donuts a lot!

  • Casey D.

    Thanks Portland!! It looks like gnarly doughnuts, freakish décor, and eye-catching pink boxes are no longer reserved entirely for the likes of Portland, Oregon. This lil' shop of delicious horrors opened in December 2013 on Friday the 13th. I don't know about you, but I'd say that was a lucky day for Denver! Allow me to give you a quick rundown. First, make sure you have cash in hand. It's all about the Benjamins here! No credit, debit, or checks. Don't fret if you forget to bring you fins. There is an ATM in the far left corner of the store. You can access it while you're standing in line. Next, you'll need to decide what to get. This can be a tough decision. There are so many wonderful, tasty choices! I suggest having $15 to $40 on hand. That will give you a ton of options. You can get a dozen of their premium, most-famous doughnuts (Voodoo Doll Doughnut, Bacon Maple Bar Doughnut, Captain my Captain Doughnut, etc.) for roughly thirty clams and still have plenty for a tip. Finally, this is one heck of a popular joint, so be prepared to stand in line for awhile. This spot is open 24 hours a day - seven days a week, so you'll have plenty of time! The Magic is in the Hole!!!

  • Rachel J.

    I will have to admit I have never been into the store because the line is always so long when I drive by. Today at work someone brought in a box and it said that it was only $5 for a bunch of doughnuts!! Could this be real? My guess is they sell yesterday's doughnuts for cheap to get rid of them but I don't mind. I have eaten things older than a day old doughnut. These doughnuts are nuts because they are so unique. There are ones that have cereal on top and bacon. To be completely honest I can barely eat some of them because it's so much sugar. Luckily they have more plain ones that don't give me diabetes. They are good for a random treat and to say you had them but I definitely couldn't make it a full time thing.

    The first week of my new job, the trainers insisted on getting Voodoo Doughnuts for us to get our brains working early in the morning-brain food anyone? They brought them in, so my review is strictly for take-out. Not being a huge doughnut fan but not one to turn down free food, I happily chose a sprinkled doughnut from the overflowing box....and YUM! Although I only ate half, it was just the right amount of sweetness, frosting and 100% awesome :) Tips to takeaway: - Open 24 hours! -Cash only! Overall, this west coast hit is huge here and i wouldn't hesistate to take anyone visiting from out of down to the new digs :)

  • Andy R.

    OK, so I finally succumbed and went to check out Voodoo Doughnut to see what all the hype was about. Pros: A very unique menu with lots of choices. I went with the Bacon Maple Bar, which was actually quite tasty, with the bacon being on the good and crispy side, and a Voodoo Doll Doughnut, which was pretty much like a standard chocolate glazed doughnut with raspberry filling, only shaped like a voodoo doll with a pretzel sticking out of it. Gotta admit that the menu was pretty out there, between the doughnut names and available toppings - everything from names like "Old Dirty Bastard" and "Cock-n-Balls," to the peanut butter, cereal, coconut, and candy bar toppings. Cons: Over an hour wait in line. I know it's a unique concept, but it didn't seem worth it. Cash only, although there's an ATM onsite - with a hefty surcharge. The two doughnuts I purchased ran close to $6. Again, a unique concept, but not worth it. TIP: You can find knockoff versions of most of the cereal topped doughnuts, including Captain Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Froot Loops, Rice Krispies, and Fruity Pebbles, in addition to other toppings like shredded coconut and sprinkles, and even a "bacon bit" version of the Bacon Maple Bar, at most King Soopers stores in the area at much lower prices.

    We get donuts at work every Friday. Each week from a different place. So, I am not writing this based on a one time visit, but after eating a variety of donuts. Voodoo is legit. The basic sour cream old fashioned donut is quite good compared to anything else out there. They have so many other donuts that are also good, but you won't find many of those in other donut shops. The only thing that keeps this place from getting a 5 star are the less than friendly staff and a little excessive frosting on some donuts.

    Voodoo donuts is no San Francisco's Bob's donuts (also 24 hours) but I think it definitely deserves credit for 1. being open at ungodly hours when your drunken self needs to stuff your face with donuts 2. having fun, colorful and unique flavors and donut decorations 3. being open at ungodly hours when your sober self needs to stuff your face with donuts. Why do I not prefer this place over Bob's? It's because it isn't as fluffy and cloud-like. A donut is undeniably yummy regardless of whether it's an old or a fresh donut (it is innately good), however, the donuts here have never tasted like fluffy clouds the way Bob's has, even when served fresh. I came here and waited in a 30 minute line that felt like a 1 hour line (because of the dub step playing). Dub step is not the only thing that makes this place so edgy and scene. Let's look at the evidence: 1. their top-hat wearing mascot that resembles a devil alien magician (donuts are the devil's magic) 2. the fact that this is a store that branched from an original store in Portland, Oregon. Portland: 'nuff said. 3. a donut the shape of a voodoo doll because we are dark people with grudges 4. a donut with a mustache and if you mustache me why that is scene then you bearder get out under that rock you're living in 5. a cock and balls shaped donuts for people who need practice eating.... donuts. 6. a tang flavored donut (image of monkey) 7. a blunt shaped donut because this is Colorado Their gimmicks and edgy donuts list goes on and on. Nevertheless, I love me a donut and would not deny one from this place. Their theme is fun and their donuts match.

    I first saw VooDoo Doughnut on a Best Donuts in America type show. The Food Network sucks huge hairy donkey balls covered in sand!!! The hype about VooDoo is not acceptable. I waited 4 years to try these donuts and they were slightly better than Dunkin Donuts. When you add in the inflated cost, they are below most dry grocery store donuts. It is cute to make donuts on funny shapes and pile weird cereal toppings on high. However, the base is the donut. I once took two trains to get the opening of Mister Donut in Tokyo and I did not speak Japanese. I love donuts and will travel the world for delicious glazed wonders. I would not go back to the "weed" smelling neighborhood of VooDoo again. I swear I saw Jessie Pinkman's crew down the street trying to sell blue crystals. When I arrived, VooDoo was out of glazed donuts. How F*&%*&g stupid do you have to be to run a donut shop but be out of the staple???? I had the gigantic Texas glazed and it was not impressive. When I take a few bites and throw it away, you have garbage donuts. I got off a plane and drove like a bat out of hell to Colfax avenue only to be disappointed like the kid on he 16th birthday who gets a bike and not a car. The donut is just big. The glaze is silent and lack flavor. It was just a big ball of dough. Rating: Weak and sad!!! I also had bites of the maple bar and chocolate plain cake. The maple is very sweet and thick but the donut base is boring and flat. The "plain" chocolate cake donut was PLAIN!!!!! I give this place one star because I cannot give it ZERO stars. Don't believe the hype and pass on this Food Network over-hyped bull$hit!!!

    So Voodoo doughnuts has quite a bit of hype that follows them around and creates long lines for those who want a taste of their sweet treats. I braved the cold and the lines to go see what they were all about and what I found was this. The long lines are the result of their inefficient customer service and lack of credit card acceptance. The doughnuts were good but nothing better than a good doughnut from any other bakery. Their prices were a little spendy for doughnuts, sure they have clever names and offensive shapes and symbols, but in the end they are just doughnuts. They do have some clever flavors that I found worth the extra change, jump outside of your comfort zone and try something that sounds disgusting. Chances are it will be amazing. I think they could lose the offensive condition, accept credit cards and do twice the business.

    Not bad, but prefer Lemars doughnuts. If some one at work brings voodoos I will eat them, but I'm not going out of my way to buy them. My very least favorite would be the cereal coated. Yuck and double yuck.

  • Sally W.

    I mean it's a donut place.. While it's cool and hip... It's still just donuts and not even better than normal donuts... Go though.. It's fun trying to pick out what flavors to get.. But I probably won't go back

    Knowingly putting myself out there as the bad guy, I'll step out in boldness and say that I found Voodoo Doughnut to be underwhelming. It seems a staple in the fancy doughtnut world is the bacon and peanut butter one, but it really is just that. Fried dough, peanut butter glaze, and crumbled bacon. At the cost of a taco, this guy isn't quite voodoo enough for me. On the more classic end, I can't find anything that separates their chocolate and glazed from the other classic shops on Colfax. Perhaps Voodoo necessitates a variety of visits, focusing on a different item every visit, so I'll take my one mediocre experience and afford VD another visit.

    Not a big fan of sweets but I must admit these were delicious! We took the kids this morning and was met with a line out the door and on the street. Good sign! Even with a line that long, it wasn't long before it was out turn. I got the maple bacon bar (i love anything bacon) and the kids got the voodoo doll. They were light and delicious! Sweet but not sugary. The filling in the doll was thick and didn't run everywhere while they were eating. My girls loved them! I will definitely be back!

  • Michelle K.

    The hype was too much. I was very underwhelmed. I think their donuts are creative but I prefer Blue Star in Portland (wow on the flavor and creativity) and Banbury Cross in Salt Lake (homey and flavorful). I didn't like the stale cereal on the donut. I was very happy to only wait 5 minutes in line on a Saturday afternoon (I hear the lines can be hours long at their portland location), and the staff was friendly.

    I may not be the best reviewer for VD, I should say that from the outset. I'm not really a doughnut guy... never have been. Even so, I've been to VD in Portland, so was interested to try their newest location in Denver. They do have a lot of variety, and some unusual shapes and flavours. They probably are better than most of the other doughnuts that you could buy around town, but you have to decide whether you're willing to wait in line for an hour. There's also a good chance that you'll get yelled at or scolded by one or more of the employees, so be ready for that. Me? I kinda like the wait - just part of the experience. VD is not going to be a major part of my life, but I'm sure I'll be back for a Maple Bacon Bar (or two). Here's a secret tip: If you want to make new friends, spend a few bucks to buy a box of doughnuts for the people waiting in line. Somebody did that for us and was greeted with cheers. Everybody just took a piece and passed the box on down the line. Thanks to that guy, classy move!

    VooDoo finally graces Denver with the goodness of the pink box and the magic in the hole. I attended the soft opening on December 13th and though I waited in line for nearly 3 hours, I got the loveliness that are these magical doughnuts. You just have to try them for yourself. There isn't any real explanation that can be offered. My favorite part? Local sodas in the fountain machine. Local coffee being served (YAY I LOVE NOVO COFFEE!) and friendly staff and prices on par with other doughnut shops but a WAY superior product. Check out Voodoo, you wont be disappointed. Just bring cash, they don't take credit or debit.

    Absolutely delicious. I was super pumped that they had vegan doughnuts. The help was super nice and incredibly efficient. When we went in, there was a line wrapped to the door, but they managed to keep it moving at a healthy pace. I also really enjoy the doughnut designs. So very irreverent. Basically perfection

    I first saw this place 6 years ago on Man v Food and I have seen them other times on the Food Network ! I made it a goal to go to Oregon but who needs to do that when they came to Denver ! I have been to Voodoo probably around 5 times ! I ABSOUTLY LOVE THIS PLACE !!!! I have never liked doughnuts nor been able to eat them due to allergies.. but now VOODOO VEGAN DOUGHNUTS IS THE ANSWER !!! Never have I see such COOL, UNIQUE AND CRAZY DOUGHNUTS !! Defiantly make it a priority to go here its one of the most fun experiences !!! Make sure you have Cash because it is a cash only place ! They do have and ATM though. They even have merchandise, I bought a shirt from there !

    This is by far the best donut place i've been to yet...mainly because of the variety of different donuts (cake and yeast) and the very unconventional flavors - Grape Ape for example. I could not leave Denver without paying a visit to Voodoo Doughnut. After a long day of crazy photo shoots, and a quick stop at the Mile High Stadium - we finally made it. The store front has a roped queue line but when we got there, it wasn't crowded at all. The staff was very friendly and was very patient at the fact that i could not make up my mind and couldn't choose from the bajillion doughnuts they had. "Cake or yeast? glazed? chocolate? fruity? or creamy? wait...is that bacon?" Pure freaking madness and everything was going 100 mph in my head - and the revolving glass display with all the doughnuts inside made me so much more excited than I was 3 seconds ago...I kept it simple, i had the voodoo (which is a jelly doughnut only it was shaped like a voodoo doll with a chocolate icing), the portland creme (boston creme filled) and the Old Dirty Bastard (oreos, chocolate and peanut butter...i mean, need i say more?). My favorite is the ODB - all the way. The dough was fresh and fluffy - it's kind of like - if Krispy and Dunkin had a baby...it was Voodoo. not too fluffy and light, and still held quite of a dense texture. it certainly doesn't compare to some chain doughnut shops where i know the dough is FROZEN! no, no, Voodoo is a whole new species...I also got the chance to try the Grape Ape, which was different. It's a yeast doughnut and is glazed with vanilla-ish icing with a hint of a grape flavor. The Dirt doughnut doughnut was also good - not too sweet, crushed oreos on top and it was held together by a vanilla glaze. Everything and anything i tried at this place was DELICIOUS. You better believe that i will come back to Colorado - i can't wait to come back to Voodoo and try the other doughnuts! side note - this place only takes cash, but don't fret, they have an ATM machine inside the shop :)

    I don't really understand the hype. These donuts are WAY TOO SWEET! I don't get why people wait in line for an hour and pay cash only for this stuff. If you are going to be cash only then make it worth it... your prices should be LOWER because you have no processing fees! My first time here I waited 45 minutes (which I get it... it's the "new thing in Denver" therefore everyone has to go get it all at once)... I was going to a party so I ordered 3 dozen donuts... we had several specialties in there ($5). I paid over $60. That's crazy. But I was willing to buy it, had to find out what the rave was all about... wow, definitely a stoner thing. You must be stoned to enjoy this because it's all sugar. The cock and balls is soooo not worth it... $5 for a long john (with bavarian cream) and 2 big round donuts that are completely empty... just all DOUGH. Why don't they put cream in the balls too? So we just threw away the "balls." My brother likes the captain crunch ones, but I think it's too sweet. I liked the marshmellow/oreo doughnut, but same thing, one bite and you're good because you have a mouth full of sugar. I know that I probably just don't like sugar as much as some stoners, but I guess this place opened up in Colorado for a reason... so they'll be busy regardless of what I think. If you eat these with a giant glass of milk it will help wash out some of the sweetness though.

    I had always seen this place watching FOOD TV, and lo and behold when I get into Denver the first thing I do is pull up Yelp and see Voodoo! What a fun experience it was. Just like the shows had shown, the line zig zagged around the store. People have ample time to decide what they want so the line moves pretty quicky. Donuts are listed on a giant board, displayed in a case, I stood in line with the website open so I could read about all the different ones making sure I was ordering ones I would actually enjoy eating. Of course I had to get the voodoo doll shaped donut...I ended up with a PB one and oreo.... one random one with jelly too. They prices for these donuts are so cheap compared to other gourmet donut shops I have been to over the years! Not to mention the cute box they come in! Sure its become a tourist trap but its a great experience and they are super yummy too.

    Why did this happen? This MIGHT be good on a night of drunken messiness or high glory but with all my sobriety intact this place worries me. It worries me because the line that forms for it is massive. So Denverites line up for over-sugared, ill-conceived doughnut flavors? Why? Just why?! This could be fun but it's just too much. Too many options (bad ones), too much glaze (i.e. frosting/icing), and other than the friendly service there is absolutely no reason to come here. I understand they may not be going after "gourmet" nor "fine" but at least make it good god dammit!

  • Christina M.

    Ok WOW! Let me start out by saying I'm NOT a donut person. BUT WHOLLY COW are these delicious and pure naughtiness! Every donut we bought and ate were fresh and perfect! My fav was the Powder Cake Donut and the Voodoo Doll. They were both perfect and not to heavy or sweet. I will be going back again this weekend with my hubby. Two VERY important notes: They ONLY take cash and DO have an ATM inside AND there are NO tables to sit and enjoy your donuts right away. We stepped outside and sat on the ground/curb/car in front and immediately enjoy 1 donut each. The rest we took home. We also bought a mystery box full for $5 bucks. Highly Recommend this Donut Shop!!!!

    I have seen lines at Voodoo Doughnuts at all hours of the day, at all days of the week. It is a bit insane for a box of doughnuts. If you have the time to spare - don't leave without buying at least two bacon maple bars. Without them, you will know you wasted your time.

    I went in with cash, and it was a Sunday. The line was non existant. And Im used to them in Portland. Had her give me a mixed dozen then half a mixed dozen and i was on my way out the door with my sugar goodness. And they dont disappoint either.

    I came here around 9:30 on a Friday night and the wait was probably about 20 minutes. Not too shabby. I'm glad that's all I waited because the donuts are mediocre. I got a voodoo doll, Neapolitan, and a cream filled one. The breading of the voodoo doll one is kind of dry and the frosting is nothing special. I did like that it was filled with raspberry filling though. The cream filled one tasted fine, but not very fresh. The cream in the middle is more custard like opposed to creamy. My fave one was the Neapolitan one, but why does it have to be so small?! In my opinion, the donut quality is similar to the ones at the grocery stores. It's just that voodoo adds odd items to their donuts like cereal and bubble gum, but the yeast and cake bases are not great. Regardless, everyone has to try voodoo at least once. :)

  • Greg B.

    Can you still eat like you did when you were five years old? If so, you'll LOVE Voodoo! What I mean is that every donut tastes like it contains a pound of sugar. It's delicious and a super fun experience, but prepare yourself for a very heavy donut. These donuts aren't like Krispy Kreme, where they're so light and fluffy you feel like you could eat 6. Voodoo's donuts are dense. I had the: -Maple Bacon (2/10): regular donut with maple frosting and two strips of real bacon on top. I wasn't a huge fan, but if you typically like those two flavors you will LOVE this donut. It just wasn't for me. -Voodoo Doll (2/10): raspberry filled chocolate covered donut. Tastes just like it sounds, nothing special. -Orangetang (7/10): Orange frosting with orange sprinkles and orange flavored sugar. it was incredibly sweet, but if you like orange flavored things this is the donut for you -Dirt (10/10): cream frosting with crushed Oreo cookies on top. One of the best donuts I've ever had. A must order. Honestly if it weren't for all of the hype I probably would give this place 5 stars because it's so unique and fun, but I've heard how amazing it was for over a year now and I'm not sure it lives up to the hype. It's a great place to go with a group of friends late night or with family from out of town. There are three points for improvement at Voodoo: 1) The Price- I bought four donuts for $9, and I didn't even get one of the really expensive fritters. The price won't be changing so it's not really worth complaining about; just be aware it's pricey. 2) Cash Only- they don't accept credit cards so make sure you have cash 3) Format of the Menu- the menu only says the names of the various donuts; it doesn't describe what's in or on that particular donut. As a result you're left to just choose one with a fancy/fun name or look in the display case and point to one that looks good. It would be really nice to be able to make a more informed decision. Overall, it's a great place. Probably not worth an hour wait. I recommend the Dirt donut which had Oreos and cream on top, it was the best I had.

    I've been avoiding Voodoo because of that ridiculous stream of people flowing out the door and onto the bustling sidewalks of Colfaxia. But today, I finally solved this little line problem: I went at 5am on a Sunday morning. Not a single other person! High five, self. As many of these reviews indicate, the donuts themselves are not actually that good. I grew up in the land of Krispy Kreme ('twas founded in NC, fyi!), so my expectations of donuts are Hot&Now, and I will never be getting a plain Voodoo (if that's even a thing they have?) But... COVERED IN COCOA PUFFS?! Ahhh yes yes yes! I think anything covered in cocoa puffs would be worth $2! I'll surely be back. Covertly, when all y'all are sleepin'.

    Hate to write this, but honestly - overhyped, slow service with limited people running the registers to keep an appearance of popularity with a line out the door. They are neat and novel, but that's about it. If you're a big doughnut fan, I'd say you should check it out. As for me - I won't be back again. Just isn't worth the money and the wait.

    I've had Voodoo before (someone else always brings them) and, while they are pretty good donuts, I really don't think the hype is worth much. My fiance and I went to a show at the Ogden Friday the 26th. He really wanted Voodoo so I told him if the taxi driver would wait, we could go. We arrived at about 1:30am and, to my surprise, there were only 4-5 people in line. First off, the ATM was broken (no signage to tell you so) and people were told that "there's a bar down the street". If you're not going to give the option to pay with a card, you should really make sure that your ONLY ATM works. Upon reading another review from today, it looks like it's still broken. Bad for business!! Luckily, I had some cash on me so I waited in line for about 15 minutes while my fiance stayed with the taxi. During that time, NO ONE helped anyone in line. I saw at least 2 people working but did not see them packing donuts, talking to a customer, nothing. I heard other people stating how long it was taking. I waited another few minutes watching others get frustrated over the ATM and the fact that no one seemed to be working. No thanks. I'd rather made the drive to ANYWHERE else than Voodoo. They really need to up their customer service standards....

    Much more of a fan of the denver one than the portland one - but that might be because i can wait for the butt crack of dawn on a rainy sunday to beat the line and get a couple of fresh donuts! The maple bar with bacon is definitely fun and yummy! The double chocolate - not my fav, but hubby sure was happy! There is a line ride inside and a little one outside. According to my other friends if the line is to the door it's a 15 minute wait. Definitely nice to have a fun and different option in town!

    I have such a sweet tooth and am a sucker for donuts! I visited the Oregon location about a month before coming here and both locations were pretty similar - small shop, line out the door, crazy selection of donuts! I always enjoy the rotating display case of donuts! My personal favorites were the Miami Vice and anything with sprinkles! What made this location unique was their "weed themed" donuts! Their donuts are topped/decorated with a multitude of toppings including bacon, sprinkles, coconut, cereal, etc. Their donuts are yummy, but don't justify more than a 10 minute wait! If I'm going to wait more than 10 minutes, I'm going to make sure I get enough donuts to make my wait worth the time! ;-)

  • Elena V.

    Broke my Voodoo donuts virginity today. To me, the "hype" is just experiencing waiting in the line-- Not in a bad way. The wait didn't take very long, thanks to the place having four cashiers. The cashier I had was very friendly. To be honest, these taste mediocre; it taste just the same as the ones you get at the grocery or some cheap ass place. It's fun to try, atleast. Edit: I felt really dickish for the one star I left, so I'm updating a 3. 3 because the price of the bucket of day old donuts ($8) and how happy it made my friends! The bucket is a good deal if you wanna amuse a crowd with a big bucket of donuts. There was only a handful of specialty donuts, though... And at the bottom it, everything was squished. To be expected, but nonetheless it made me happy to see how gleeful my friends were over donuts. Thanks VD for discounted buckets of donuts!

    I give voodoo doughnuts 4 for ambiance and fun-ness and 3 for the actual doughnut. I wish yelp had 3.5 stars! (I starred up.) The doughnuts are just fine. LaMars has super yum, amazing and these are just pretty good. However, with the choices, its a novelty thats fun enough to bring you back. We arrived around 8:30 on a sunday morning and we waited in line for about half an hour. It was fun looking at the choices and picking out our preferences but the prices on the board were too small to see from far away, so we looked at the online menu. The prices are high, and we got all excited about the "voodoo dozen" and started picking out our 12. The voodoo dozen is picked and prepared by the dudes and is a combo of specialty doughnuts and donut shop doughnuts. My daughters got the voodoo doll, bacon maple, and memphis mafia. I thought it was gross that there was bacon in the doughnut, but this becomes a salted caramel, sweet and salty: yummmmmmy. The rest I would say the frostings and jellies were waaay too sweet. I prefer rich and savory over sugary sweet. Voodoo was cute because when you eat it from the bottom up the red jelly oozes out and looks like he's injurred. Memphis mafia was delicious, it has a flavor that rolls out like wine or wonka chewing gum. It begins with banana and fritter and ends with peanut butter. Blech.. I don't like peanut butter. All of them are so sweet they are hard to eat, and no one could finish. I think it would be best to get an assortment, chop them up and share. All and all though, a super fun outing. A few of the donuts descriptions made me laugh out loud, worth reading the menu just for kicks.

  • Corinne H.

    Hype so much hype but in the end it was just a donut with a ton of stuff on top. Maybe I should preface that donuts are never my first choice for sweets. There are tons of choices and it's definitely an experience at Voodoo so I would recommend going for that. I personally think that there are really only so many donuts you can eat at a time and these are incredibly sweet and filling. We ended up cutting a bite sized piece of each of them so we could get through the box and at least say we tried them all before they got wasted. The cashier was awesome when we were a couple dollars short not realizing it was cash only and borrowed from the tip jar. We have gone back when friends and family were in town so they could experience VD and we left a nice tip in the jar for the great service they gave us the first go around.

    Cool spot but definitely overrated. Just doughnuts. Not sure why the long line. They aren't foodie doughnuts, just doughnuts covered in cereal or really big doughnuts. I'd go just to say you went but go during the week.

  • Nicole P.

    These are the most unique and fun donuts you'll find. They're absolutely worth going to for a treat! I love the concept of the voodoo doll donut with a pretzel steak through the heart and jelly filling blood! I had the bubblegum donut which was so sinfully sweet I had to take breaks from eating it. The prices are a lot more reasonable than I expected from a novelty shop. I came on a week day and stood in very little of a line. I needed that line to make up my mind between the different donuts rotating on the display that day. I recommend checking out their website to prepare yourself for the different combos, otherwise I never would have decided. We also lucked into a parking meter directly in front of the door.

    I'm a tourist, of course I had to make a stop at Voodoo Donuts. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed. We got there on a Friday afternoon around 2, and there were only 5 people in front of us. The line moved unbelievably quickly, and before we knew it we were at the front of the line. We ended up ordering a bacon maple bar, maple blazer blunt, and the maple bar donut (great variety, I know). The cashier was quick and efficient, but not exactly friendly. There's no where to sit in the shop, and it wasn't just like we were going to plop down on Colfax to eat our donuts. So, we carried our box back to our hotel to indulge. Although we really didn't get a better variety of donuts, what we did get was very, very tasty. All the donuts were fresh and light, and the maple icing was decadent. I get what others were saying about them being overly sweet - you can't eat more than one in a sitting. Other things important to note - there is no parking, and according to the signs, tow trucks are always circulating. We found a lot on York St. where the pricing was very reasonable, and parked there to grab our donuts. In addition, it's cash only! There is an ATM on the inside, if you did forget. I also find it to be very strange that there are no descriptions on the menu of what the donuts are topped/filled with. We had done our research prior, so we already knew what we wanted, but had you not done that, how would you know? While some are obviously self explanatory, others are not. The cashier didn't exactly seem willing to explain something like that (especially if there was a long wait). To management, I might recommend having a few little menus printed out with the descriptions on the website. Overall, great visit, and the donuts are worth it. I'll be back on my next visit!

  • Eric B.

    This place...what an awesome idea. Pops and I went in for two Voodoo dozen (baker's). In hind sight, I only wish they had a descriptive menu so we could've been specific with what we wanted rather than let the Voodoo priest do the picking, albeit I'm sure they're all pretty good. There was a line, and the while time I kept thinking how cool it would've been to look at a menu with pictures and descriptions of all their crazy doughnuts while we waited. We're left with a menu overhead with names and prices, and rotary glass cases with doughnuts with no names, some are known and identifiable, while others are not. Keep in mind, this is cash only. There's an ATM next door.

    Clearly this place is for stoners who have burned all their taste buds off. It's a great concept bakery with terrible execution. We ordered a dozen between 4 people and there was not 1 doughnut we liked. We each took bites and left the rest for the bums across the street. This was such a disappointment. They weren't even warm. They were probably baked 2 days ago...we are probably going to get sick

    I think that voodoo is generally overrated. The donuts are good, but there is always a line out the door (at least every time I've gone, maybe there wouldn't be in the middle of the afternoon) and they don't take credit cards.

    Worth the hype, and the wait up to 20 minutes (considering that I'm very averse to wait). Tried the plain glazed to evaluate the baseline, and it was fantastic--light, fluffy and puffy. Buttery dough and not too sugary despite the glaze. Blueberry old fashioned was good but not mindblowing, and needed more water to wash it down. Apple fritter was delicious and what you'd expect, a little more fried-tasting. Do it if the line is reasonable!

    This place already has a surplus of media coverage, so I'll keep it simple: Cash only. If the line is out the door, your wait is at least an hour. Highlights to have: Portland Cream Donut (fluffy, yeast-risen donut, chocolate, Bavarian cream); Diablos Rex Donut (chocolate cake doughnut); Neapolitan donut.

    Completely unique and always a line especially at night. Grape Ape & Capt my Capt are my favorites. After a dinner out, this is a great place to grab dessert to go.

    Voodoo Doughnut's recent opening in the Mile High city still has not abated. A few friends and I ventured over on a Saturday afternoon and weren't surprised to find a relatively long line. For Voodoo, it could be short, depending on your mood. So we hopped in line and waited for about 30-45 minutes. My choices immediately became limited when the word spread that Voodoo is cash only. I had no idea, so my two bucks would only get me so far. As in, one, maybe two donuts. Okay, that's fine. I get why establishments still do cash only, but it's a real pain in my arse. Since this was my first visit, I opted for the famous namesake, the Voodoo donut. This little guy comes with a pretzel stick that you can stab him with and the jelly will squeeze out. Yep, pretty awesome! While the presentation was cool, it was just a regular jelly donut. The other donuts with cereals tempted me as well, so I'll have to get some on a future visit. Way cool shop, but for me, definitely not worth the wait. You can barely see the donut names and prices on the board above the counters. And the cash only thing is rather obnoxious, IMHO. Oh, and they don't accept pennies. Geez, all I want is a donut, guys. Why have you got to make it so difficult on me!? /wah

    Okay my first visit, the line was out the door but the line went fairly quickly, about 20 minutes. I got a dozen for my coworkers a nice variety. I picked out the maple bacon doughnut. Pretty tasty, but the consistency of the donut really didn't blow me away. I really liked the maple icing on top. I decided to try and again a few months later. This time the line took about 30 minutes. Another dozen for my coworkers. This time I picked out the one covered in mini M&M's. Now that was a better pastry. I could only eat half because it was so rich. Better texture than my previous one and my coworkers enjoyed them as well. I'm still on the fence if they are really worth the wait in line. They have vegan doughnuts and a giant one that equals about 6 donuts. Cash only, but there's an ATM in line.

    Friendly service, unique items, not super expensive for a typical donut, and the donuts are delicious!! Only complaints are that it is almost impossible to find parking nearby, and often the line is out the door(though they seem to hustle and get everyone through the line quickly). If you are willing to splurge and spend $5 on a donut, I definitely recommend the "Memphis Mafia". It will ruin you forever, as no other donut will ever compare again.

    Eh pretty touristy but decent donuts once you get through the line!

  • Brett C.

    I'm not a big fan of overly hyped places with huge price tags..... But this one was actually worth it. The hour + wait in line was fun! Friendly and lively people to talk to made the time fly by. The donuts were expensive but pretty dam good! 6 donuts cost us $14.35. Stop by Hot Chicka Latte and grab yourself a double D straight coffee and head down to stand in line. Parking in the area SUCKS and there are tow trucks circling the area looking for people illegally parked. They WILL tow your ass so be careful! I parked at the Burger King two blocks east(shhhh, don't tell!) CASH ONLY! There is an ATM inside but you should stop prior. The price and parking is what made me give it 4 stars rather than 5.

    Voodoo's theme colour is pink and as you enter the shop you see their 'Good Things Come in Pink Boxes' stacked on the counter. All doughnuts available are shown in a rotating display case which is unfortunately some distance away from where you are standing, in a strictly enforced roped queuing system. Even if you could get a good look at the fantastically decorated doughnuts in the cabinet, you have no way of cross checking the menu board against the individual doughnuts as they aren't labeled. Some are easy to guess such as the best selling Bacon Maple Bar but most of the lurid hued doughnuts remain anonymous. When you get to the cashier - Do NOT cross the pink line on the floor until you are called - you make your selection without dithering. They are scary, angry, annoyed and they don't want any chit chat from you! If you're asking about a doughnut in the cabinet, you sure as heck better be ordering it. You should know that the doughnut with the pentagram on it is the Diablos Rex. If you don't, bow to your server, kiss your rosary and make sure you leave an extra tip! In the end we went with a Voodoo Doll (easy to guess), an Old Dirty Bastard (great name) and a Triple Chocolate Penetration (you point, you buy). As detached as my server may have been, she still tried an upsell. Cashier zombies at Voodoo need to sell a certain amount per shift to keep their sweet job. If I was buying an Old Dirty Bastard, would I like to add a Marshall Mathers and a Maple Blazer Blunt for a 'Rapper's Delight' set? It was a 'no' from us this time as we had more than sufficient. There's no dining in at Voodoo. Pay for your doughnuts (cash only) and leave. We carried our pretty pink box back to our house and dissected the Voodoo Doll with its cute pretzel stake and jam innards. The verdict? Really, it's just a yeast doughnut, similar in taste and texture to Krispy or Dunkin'. In keeping with its alternate appeal, there are several vegan options including the Diablos. It's some very clever marketing though and you can hardly complain about the price. Three very large doughnuts for less than $6. They could easily charge $6 each and still have a cult following. If you don't mind the detached, slight abrupt attitude, you can have fun with a sweet treat payoff for just a few dollars. A cheap tourist attraction indeed.

    Stopped here because of all the talk about how great this place is. Had a grape kool-aid donut & it was delicious. My hubby & kiddo actually jumped around the kitchen when I brought the box home. It's a little pricy & they inly accept cash!

  • Kelly S.

    I wanted to love voodoo, was very excited to try it. But Quite honestly I expected more. The donuts are okay, but not the best I've ever eaten by a long shot. The bacon maple glazed one is good, and of all the ones I tried the only one I would get again. But all of the other ones I tried were just too too sweet. Also, they were out of 4 that I tried ordering. I would have been happier if they had just told me everything they were out of from the get go. Not have me pick 4 different things and keep telling me they're out. Overpriced and much better donuts can be found elsewhere in my opinion. Yes, it's unique, and that's cool, but when I'm going to eat donuts, I want them to be amazing, and these are not that.

    I live two easily walked blocks to this place, and have wandered over a good handful of times in the past month. I've even waited in line - then left the line. waiting in line for doughnuts....I mean, all their missing is a guy at the door drawing moustaches on the index fingers of everyone walking in and handing out free pairs of Voodoo Doughnut branded, neon Ray-Bans. Sorry, I digress. the doughnuts I got were actually quite spectacular. The stars I withhold from this review have to do with Voodoo's business model and the extensive and unnecessary confusion the place is full of. Clearly, this is one hip and happening place. Customers pour out of the front doors, blissful to be in a long line. Seriously. You would think, in order to expedite the ordering process and shorten the wait, there would be tons of information up so that you were ready to order when you got to a register. And, there is a menu screen! And, it's about 20 feet in the air and designed with a 10 pt font. I mean, I am probably twice the age of some of the trendsters pogo'ing about in their excitement to eat fried dough...but, the menu is absolutely unreadable. I wound up pulling up a menu on my phone, after which all of the uber-caffeinated masses followed suit. Why not a huge menu on the wall? Are you trying to slow the crowds down so they stream out the door and people passing by will think, "Holy crap, that's a line for /doughnuts/? I clearly must have them!" A-Ha moment right there, and it seems to be doing the trick, along with irritating sane, logical customers like myself. TO THE DOUGHNUTS. I got: The Voodoo Doll (not bad, cute and kitschy) The Cock and Balls (filled with Bavarian cream, natch. I was asked if I'd like to have a message written on my cock and balls for an extra $1. Seriously, though, the Bavarian cream is delicious and the thing was smothered in so much chocolate that if I possessed a cock and balls, they may have reacted to all of the goodness.) Maple Bacon Bar (Really decent bacon, not cheap and greasy, well seasoned. The dough of the bar was extremely light and perfect.) Mexican Hot Chocolate (Also one of my favorites, a simple, dense chocolate cake doughnut dusted in cinnamon and spices that has a surprising little kick) Portland Cream (Bavarian cream with maple topping) And, sweet haysoos, the Memphis Mafia. This is one I would get every time. MASSIVE banana fritter topped with peanut butter, chocolate, peanuts and chocolate chips. Amazing. The prices vary, but those came to under $20. I've seen the quality of these compared to places like King Soops, but there really is no comparison, even though i love the doughnuts at Soops, usually. The doughnuts at Voodoo are delicious, but you've got to decide whether or not you're willing to stand in line to get your hands on them

    As parodied in The Simpsons episode "The Day the Earth Stood Cool", Voodoo Doughnut is a fun, indulgent, and atypical shop. As of this writing (Mar '14) the lines are still way long, even if arriving early or mid day. Good donuts: The Loop (covered in Froot Loops) and the Gay Bar (rainbow frosting on a Boston cream filled longjohn) Soso: the Mexican Hot Chocolate

  • Mike P.

    I really like their donuts. Their customer service, well that is another thing. No more needs to be be said about it. If you are a male you may get the feeling that the staff are sexist. I had four different donuts from there they were all excellent. The standard glazed with raspberry filling was exquisite, sweet soft and just delicious. Nothing like the donuts you get in Eastern Europe, much fluffier and soft with a soft unburnt crust. Tonight the parking cost us $70, ugh. One of the other reviews said parking can be a challenge. It is. We arrived around eight pm. We parked behind the dentists surgery there were two other cars parked there. I ignored the we will tow you at any time of day or night sign. The surgery was clearly closed. Anyway when we got back after five minutes with our donuts the trusty VW was already jacked up. The ever so friendly tow truck driver said $70 right now. I was not going to argue. You have to know how to pick your fights. I made sure I got a receipt and the name of the company and his name and ergo just in case. All the while knowing I was in the wrong. Then I noticed the camera on the outside of the dentists office. I wonder if they get kickbacks from the tow truck company. Anyway beware. The donuts are very good but at 35 bucks each I thought they were excessive tonight. I will be going back often. However I have learned my lesson and will probably cycle next time.

    Bums pee in the back ally where voodoo likes to spray off their donut racks. Water sprays up from the ground onto these donut racks that go in the oven to cook your donuts. Absolutely disgusting!!!!! Also the guy that works the cash register is a real jerk! I will never return here and will continue to warn everyone I know. THESE GUYS CANT EVEN MAKE A GOOD GLAZE DONUT ANYWAYS.

  • Aimee P.

    I am not a donut connoisseur but their donuts seem just like every donut shop - just with their voodoo vibe and a few other breakfast cereals slapped on top. Luckily no line. Figured if their were not busy they would at least sweep the floors.

  • Randi D.

    Ok so I eat donuts about every 5 years. They just aren't my thing, but every now and then they sound great. I heard a ton about Voodo so we decided to check them out one night. They have a pretty hefty variety of donut options, but unfortunately they are all specific and not modifiable. Maybe it was just me but I really wanted to try the banana fritter - I just didn't want all the other stuff on it. That said, they are great tasting donuts in flavor combos that you really can't get at other shops - including one with Captain Crunch on top. So a fun donut alternative to the standard donut. Pretty tasty for sure and I highly recommend the Apple Fritter. It was pretty dang tasty.

  • Jade T.

    Hubby requested breakfast from here as he'd seen this spot featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. He's a total doughnut fanatic so we made the stop on good Ole Colfax to see what Mr.Voodoo man had baking! This place had flavor combos you just don't expect to work on doughnuts but they do!! Cereal, candy, bubble gum, different jelly filled types... it's like the willy Wonka of doughnuts spinning around that magical carousel! Nestled amongst all the weed shops I'm sure this place is a pitstop for the munchies lol! Lived up to the hype! Everything was good! So much so we have to stop for a dozen on the way home!

    Super bomb and super friendly! Okay, there's a wait. Get over it. There's always a wait, there's always going to be one, it's worth it. And truth be told, the line looks a lot more intimidating than it actually is. Spark up some conversations (or a joint --- just kidding, its illegal to smoke in public *cough*) with some strangers or if you must, take some pictures and social network about it. We were just visiting so were unfamiliar with the surrounding areas. You'll find out quickly with doughnuts named "gay bar" that you are indeed -- at least what seems like --- the gayborhood. Everyone was super friendly. Haha. Lots of cool names, flavors, and shaped doughnuts. Out of the ordinary from your typical mom n pop doughnut shop. And it's not just because of these cool names and flavors -- the quality and taste of the doughnut is superb! The rundown: -- Blunt doughnut. A sugar / cinnamon doughnut with maple glaze tip and red sprinkles (to resemble a lit blunt). The guy at the register was super friendly and threw in an extra one of these because he said the first one didn't have enough "spark" (sprinkles) on it. Haha. Nice guy. -- Voodoo Doll doughnut -- So good. Probably my favorite. Typical chocolate glazed doughnut shaped and designed like a voodoo doll. Their signature doughnut, I had to try it! -- Old Dirty Bastard doughnut -- So I told the guy who was helping me to make a recommendation, he recommended this. GEEZUS! I ate this first and was unable to finish the rest of my doughnuts until the following morning. All I remember is peanut butter and chocolate, the rest is a blur. We were in Denver on 4/20, give me a break. Haha :) Overall I'm glad they placed one of these in Denver! And just in time for 4/20. Smart. Can't wait to go back! I've been craving their doughnuts. They've opened a lot of fancy shmancy doughnut places here in LA like cronut and fronut but nothing beats a voodoo!

  • Johni G.

    I stopped by at around 3am on a Saturday morning and I was expecting to find the line not going out the door! Which, I was lucky and the line was juuuust to the door, so I didn't need to stand out in the cold. I honestly didn't really like their setup, it seemed like it was made to expressly waste time, and the atmosphere really seemed to pander to the niche "man this place is so non-conformist" attitude. You know, hipstery. I had to explicitly ask if they made anything simple, like a chocolate glazed bavarian creme; which I'm glad they did... As negative as this review sounds the redeeming quality is that the two doughnuts I got were the best doughnuts I've ever had. Honestly, I tried one on the way home and expressed out loud to absolutely no one that it was delicious. I'll want more in the future, but I'm not sure I can stomach going in in person.

  • Jon S.

    I am not a fan of Doughnuts at all. I will have one occasionally when they are available at work meetings. I do not buy them. Now we have that out of the way I will review the doughnut I had selected a maple bacon doughnut from the many colorful selection of doughnuts. It was pretty good for a doughnut. I don't like overly sweet food but this was a well balanced doughnut. I know this place doesn't suck because there are throngs of people always waiting in line for doughnuts. It is reminiscent of the Crispy Creme craze around the turn of the century. Great Job!

  • David M.

    Bienvenidos to Portland's Rocky Mtn incarnation of Voodoo Doughnuts (they use the more formal spelling). Voodoo's opening is kind of like when Le Bakery Sensual opened up, lo, these many years ago, selling their very graphic and funny confections done in anatomically accurate (and even enhanced:) format. It also reminds me of when Krispy Kreme came to Highlands Ranch over a dozen years ago, and cars and people lined up for what seemed like hours to grab a dozen donuts, dripping with goo, and hot out of the oven. So, in these ways, Voodoo Doughnuts is repeating Denver's bakery history. But, while they serve creative and really good donuts, I think in the long run they're going to have to do a little more to keep the crowds rolling in. At Dunkin's / Lamar's / Winchell's Donuts you can grab a cup of coffee along with getting your sugar buzz. But I didn't see that option offered at Voodoo. While folks might make the stop now just to see what all the hype's about, my guess is that in the future customers aren't going to want to make yet another stop at a separate coffee shop in order to round out their wonderfully nutritious breakfast (lunch, dinner, or whatever). As for me? I'm a fan. Their donuts really do show more character and flavor than Dunkin or Winchells and maybe even Lamars. As for Krispy Kreme . . . well, prolly nothing fried in oil is quite as good as one of those bad boys, right out of the oven. But Voodoo comes close, and I'll certainly be (occasionally) returning when my jeans are feeling loose. (Yeah, right. As if I'm really going to wait for that to happen . . . :)

    Ever since I moved to Denver I kept hearing about this place. There's no parking so plan extra time when you go. You will have to park on the very limited street parking and pay a meter during the week. Staff is friendly and the donut shop is unique with its own character. Donuts were very good. The only way to get 5-Stars is if there was parking as we were "yelled" at by an employee with a bull horn telling us not to park behind the store or risk being towed and fined $300! And bring cash. This is one store that doesn't believe in anything but cash. Hmmmm...

  • Rebecca F.

    This doughnut shop is always and I mean ALWAYS normally busy with lines out the door when I drive past. One afternoon, my friends and I decided to stop in and see what the fuss was all about. The afternoon we chose to go wasn't particularly busy, but still had a bit of hustle and bustle going on. They have TONS of donuts to choose from and even a few unique ones that I've never seen before (at least at a shop). My favorite unique doughnut they have is the 'cock & balls'. It's pretty awesome. My friends and I ended up purchasing the 'Voodoo Dozen' and its basically a variety of twelve of the most popular donuts they sell there at Voodoo. All of them smelled absolutely delicious while driving home, we could hardly contain ourselves. Once we arrived home, we dug in without hesitation. The first doughnut I tried was the one with Captain Crunch on top of it. It was like a sugary childhood dream right in front of my eyes. I would recommend going here and trying the donuts, but there's no need to wait in a HUGE line for them. They're just donuts. Wait until their non-peak hours (usually during the weekdays) and stop on in to grab some. You won't be disappointed, just filled with a great sugar buzz for the rest of the day!

  • Faete G.

    I rarely eat junk food but my husband and me decided we would go here for our recent anniversary of the day we met. We're compete saps like that. Every time we drive by this place there is always a super huge line, so we figured it had to be amazing. I think we stood in line for close to forty five minutes. I mean, the line was actually moving pretty fast when you consider how long it was. Staff was really friendly and kind, and they hunted down the right doughnut we wanted when there wasn't one in the case. They never rush you and they were patient. Thing is, these doughnuts are tasty, yeah, but there's really no reason to wait so long for one. They weren't Earth-shatteringly good or anything like that, they were just really fresh. Why are they so fresh? Obviously because the turnover is pretty quick. Don't get me wrong. If I was at a party that had VooDoo Doughnuts, yeah, I'd eat one. But, no, I wouldn't just wait that long in line for one. They weren't that special.

  • Roslyn G.

    So, my best friend and I decided to run over here on a Thursday night, literally around midnight, hoping to avoid a long line. We waited about 15-20 minutes, mostly inside. We ordered one Captain my Captain ($1.75) and the bacon maple bar ($3.75). Here's the thing, I'm glad I had a few drinks in me and the line was short. They're doughnuts. Extremely sweet doughnuts. They're different so I guess that's why people like them. But, at the end of the day they're just doughnuts! Probably won't ever eat them again. But they're worth a one time try!

    (3)

  • Michell H.

    This place is definitely a must try one time thing. The donuts, in my opinion, is just covered in frosting which personally I don't like. I mean they aren't gourmet ones, but they taste alright. However, you have to go there at least once just for the experience because the place is so cool, the donuts they have are crazy. And they have a friendly staff.

  • JC C.

    DEAR PEOPLE. 2 POINTS TO MAKE YOUR VISIT TO VDD AWESOME: #1 TRUST ME: STICK WITH THE BORING TRADITIONAL FLAVORS and you will not be disappointed! Yum. Velvet soft insides and crispy delicious outsides. All those other weird ones are not nearly as good as your run-of-the-mill powdered jelly, glazed, blueberry cake etc. As for the crazy ones; the cereal on top is blech. The cereal is soggy! Soggy cereal sucks in milk - sucks on a donut too. Bacon maple? -Come on, that's just gross. The Cock-n-Balls? It has 4 pounds of that chocolate cream on it. Brrrpp... excuse me. I don't feel well. Stick with the tried and true. #2 REVIEW THE DONUT MENU ON THEIR WEBSITE BEFORE YOU GO! You want a picture of the donut next to the name of the donut. At the shop, the menu is 20 feet away from you behind the counter and 20 feet up in the air. And - it's just the donut names! How am I supposed to know what the 'Sequined Superman' is? (I just made that name up, by the way. Don't ask for it. They won't know what the hell is wrong with you.) The actual donut prototypes themselves are swirling around in a glass case next to the counter - but without the names! Dumb set-up. Because you cannot marry the name with the actual donut, you have to wait until you get to the counter so you can just point like Tarzan at the donut you want when it comes around the carousel. "Pretty. Want." Follow points 1 and 2 and have a 5 star Voodoo experience. You're welcome.

    Dirty, delicious donuts. The main question on your minds must be: is it worth the wait? The answer? For the fun... yes. For the donuts.... unless you're showing up in the middle of the night and can get away with a 20 min wait, Dunkin donuts will prob do you just as good without an hour(s) long wait. Try these!! Ol' Dirty Bastard: Oreo crumbles, chocolate and caramel frosting. Death by donut. Maple bar with bacon: I mean, bacon... so you gotta. Super sweet to pair with the saltiness of the bacon. Orange-y one... don't remember the name, but filled with orange creme and a marmalade jelly Berry Miami Vice: Berries and pink sprinkles! Blueberry - Regular ol' cake donut, but tastes like a fried, glazed blueberry muffin. Wonderful! Meh: Grape-Ade: Kool-Aid powder on a donut, a little too much, getting graped in the mouth Cereal variety (Captain Crunch, Rice Crispies)... true, they taste like you're eating cereal and milk... plus bread. Nothing too impressive.

    Id give negative stars if available. Cash only business. Cashier uses gloves to handle cash and donuts, no changing of gloves and no paper used to grab donuts. Watched this for 10 minutes before recalling what I did with cash at a bachelorette party, vomitting in my mouth then leaving and reporting it to health department.

    Not sure what the hypes about. My little niece wanted to go. We stood in line forever for what tasted like grocery store doughnuts IMO. Not worth it, would never go there again not worth the long line..i can get same thing cheaper & faster from king soopers..

  • Sarah V.

    I always want to try new things, so I had to try Voodoo doughnut. My son and I went in the middle of the day on a Monday and waited 10 minutes. We brought our cash and we were ready to go. You can either pay per doughnut or you can save money by letting the clerk pick a dozen (13) for you. The selection is enormous! Each doughnut that I've tried from here was really good. The chocolate is poured down from Heaven, I am sure of it. I don't even like chocolate doughnuts, but these are good. I think that people should know that a certain other doughnut place (KK) is a whole other kind of dessert, not really a doughnut per se, but a half cooked, sugar coated bit of dreamy goodness. This is not that. These doughnuts are real doughnuts, they are perfectly cooked with a bit of "bite" on the outside and a tender inside. Perfect in every way. So are they better than KK? In my opinion KK isn't a doughnut, its a dessert, so it's kind of an apples to oranges thing.

    Sometimes you have to wait for good things. Wanna speed things up here???? Look at the menu online and pick your stuff in advance. Don't wanna wait? Go during off peak hours (rise early). And Bring cash. And then bask in donut gloriousness. I've been to the voodoo in pdx and this is right on par with that store. Sounds kinda like the soup nazi episode. Well that guy made damn good soup didn't he???

  • Amanda N.

    Ok, I came here at 4:15 in the morning to beat the line to get donuts for my office. Turns out that was the PERFECT time. I was third in line (that early?!), and I was in and our with 25 donuts in about 20 minutes. The people were pleasant enough. Granted, it was early. The donuts themselves - the fritters and cock n' balls are GIGANTIC (pun possibly intended). Totally worth the price. The other donuts were just meh. My Diablo was pretty dry. The Old Dirty Bastard was good, but crazy rich. Yum, though! I love the idea of this place, but honestly, the donuts aren't exactly better than anywhere else. They're just funky and have more flavors. I like it a lot, but I don't know if I can justify going down to Colfax at crazy early hours to avoid lines for it. Also, 25 donuts cost me $54.00. I got: Toasted Coconut: $1.10 Bacon Maple: $3.25 Colfax Cream: $1.90 Chocolate Coconut: $1.10 4 Peach Fritters $3.50 each 2 Cock N' Balls $5.70 each Chocolate Cake $1.00 Mexican Hot Chocolate $1.25 Glazed Chocolate: $1.00 Powdered Sugar: $1.00 2 Glazed Plain Yeast $1.00 each Portland Cream $1.90 2 ODB $2.10 each Diablos Rex $1.90 Voodoo Doll $2.10 Dirt $1.90 3 Chocolate Yeast $1.00 each Total: $54.00

    I'm not the one who's so far away any more because Voodoo Doughnuts is in Denver now. I am definitely not one to wait in line for an hour just because of the hype. So I waited a couple months and only had to wait maybe 20 minutes or so. The line is actually fairly efficient with four open registers. I think it takes a bit longer because its hard to see the menu before ordering, so people do a lot of looking at that at the register. I think printing out the general menu so people can take a look at the beginning of the line would be a good idea. The donuts themselves are pretty good. At Voodoo it's all about the insides and out. The donuts are just typical cake donuts but they do have some wonderful icings and fillings. I ordered the Colfax Creme, Maple Glaze, Mango Tango and Miami Vice. All four were really good...particularly the unexpectedly mango-y filling and the maple glaze icing, which is done very well here. Breath in. Breath in. I'm coming back again.

  • Kevin B.

    WOW! Waited 45 minutes in line to be surprised by a pretty good looking and tasting doughnut!! I ordered 4 donuts for myself. A regular chocolate, another longer chocolate (forget the name), a DIRT, and an old dirty bastard. All of the donughts were airy and super fluffy. The dough and fry time were perfect and all the flavors worked well. My favorite was the DIRT doughnut which is basically a glazed donut with white frosting and oreo cookies. Simple, yet delectable. I'd make the trip out here to try it out but I wouldn't make this shop a regular stop simply because the line is ridiculous! Voodoo you later!

    My first visit was opening week :) The lines were around the block (2 hour wait) .. It was worth it - Best doughnut's I've ever had! Currently - Same quality & going :) If you like doughnut's just a little bit, I highly, highly recommend this place! I purchased a shirt & proudly wear it. #Delicious

    So it's my husband's birthday and I figured in lieu of a boring cake I would surprise him with Voodoo Doughnuts (wife of the year, I know....) Parking is kinda inconvenient due to it being on Colfax with no lot, but luckily there was a meter available. The line was almost to the door when I arrived, but it moved pretty fast. Took me about half an hour to get to the front. They only take cash which is kind of a bummer, but they have an ATM inside. I went ahead and got him the Voodoo sampler box with a dozen of their most popular menu options. I also threw in a cock 'n balls which they kindly wrote "Happy Birthday" on for me. Total came to about $30.. Which wasn't too bad I suppose. I didn't get to try any of them myself due to a gluten allergy (seriously.. wife of the year for waiting in that line and not even getting to try them!) but my husband gave them pretty rave reviews. They definitely lived up to the hype as far as creativity goes... there were some pretty crazy options. I mean, Captain Crunch, Oreos, bacon, and bubblegum as topping options is pushing some boundaries.... but they somehow managed to make it work... and totally addicting. Definitely a unique addition to the Denver scene and worth checking out!

    Four stars, only for originality. Donuts are ok, nothing special in the taste department. I find them all to be excessively sweet when they don't need to be. Custard filled ones are my favorite.

    Well I was downtown and Voodoo donuts was calling my name. So down Colfax I drove and saw that the line was not out the door. I entered and saw the cash only sign. I almost walked out because I only had $8.00 on me. I stayed and so glad I did. I was there maybe 25 minutes. I had enough for 4 donuts but decided it was better than zero dunuts. My favorite was the maple bacon. I ate it in bed when no one was watching. Oh Yum! My friends went yesterday and there was no line at all because it is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. I felt bad because I wanted to invite them over the day I bought mine but I didn't have enough so I just told them about Voodoo. HEHEHE!!!. I am bad.

    If you absolutely have to have a donut and you are in the neighborhood, Voodoo will suit just fine. If the line is to the door (or out the door as it frequently is), it's not worth the wait. And don't expect super cheerful service, it's apparently just not their thing. That being said, if you are lucky enough to get a fresh O.D.B., consider yourself the Voodoo lottery winner, enjoy the s*@% out of it, and then in your sugar fueled high, wish that Denver had more donut options for you, 'cause we need a little happy balance for our overly healthy Colorado lifestyles.

    I've been driving by for weeks waiting for a short line. The trick is to get there at 1am where nobody was in line and I walked right up. The donuts were really good, no doubt and I even had the maple with bacon which was surprisingly tasty. I still don't get why people would like to wait in line for so long but like others on yelp, I think I know why. The tv menu screens are tiny and the employees have no sense if urgency.

    Good donuts. Not the best I've ever had, but I enjoyed them. Terrible coffee...so bitter

    Had to try this place out while in town. We got there around 10:50am on a Friday and waited about 30 minutes. I thought this was kind of a long wait for a weekday, but then again it was the Rockies opening day. Like most people have pointed out, the ATM was broken, the menu was small (but you had plenty of time to stare at it while inside), and the service was slow, albeit friendly. My haul: Dirt doughnut (Oreos)- $1.90 Old dirty bastard- $2.10 Marshall Mathers (M&Ms)- $1.50 Chocolate coconut- $1.10 Raspberry Romeo (vegan)- $2.20 They were all really tasty, but I didn't care for the ODB...a little bit too much going on in my opinion. The vegan doughnut didn't taste vegan! Not dry at all. Unfortunately they only had 4 or 5 vegan options. The woman who helped me said they usually have more. Definitely worth a try. Only downside is the wait, but help everybody out my looking at the menu online beforehand or when you're in line. Don't be that person pointing at each and every doughnut asking the worker what it is. Please...

    Long lines are typical, had fun chatting with other customers and their recommendations. I was able to venture here with a co worker while we were on break. We had to ride the bus there, the bus driver made us sick with his driving. So we decided to catch a cab back. Definitely worth it. Ordered the dozen for the fam in AZ.

  • Genevieve A.

    Voodoo is one of those places you have to go at least once, but once you go you're definitely going back! You'll probably stand in line for a good 15 minutes, but it's not because they're slow-it's because they're awesome. There are usually people lined up out the door. If you walk down Colfax, day or night, you're definitely going to see people carrying their pink boxes. They definitely have a cult following here. You can get any of the doughnuts vegan, and they are amazing.

    GROSS! Way too sweet. you're just looking for health problems if you're a regular. They add way too much topping on the already piled on glaze/frosting. I don't understand the hype, will never come here again.

  • L.T. G.

    You know you've come to the right spot in Denver on a late Friday night when the police officers standing in front, while carting away a homeless, inebriated man, exclaims that "Voodoo donuts is a great place for an armed robbery, because of the location, late hours and cash only policy!" I've actually been to the original VDD in Portland and the line was just as long, the donuts were good, but a the end of the day, they're donuts. Can donuts really be that special? If you have a sweet tooth and a passion for pastries, then you must make the stop and forfeit the long line, because it will be worth it. I'm not big on sweets, but Voodoo is satisfactory for what it is.

  • Drizzy G.

    Three stars for the doughnuts. Minus two stars for the long line and being a cash only establishment, which actually changed my first visit from go to no. I didn't have cash and didn't care to use an atm just to buy doughnuts. Two stars for the friendly upbeat staff singing and sounding off horns. All in all though, the doughnuts aren't really that impressive. Nothing unique about the doughnuts other than the toppings and some of the shapes. For the line you wait in, you would think there was more to them. Nope. My over all impression; Voodoo Doughnuts has a great gimmick and if you're okay with waiting or going at a time that is not super busy, it's a 'neat' experience. Would I go back? Not really. Maybe if I was grabbing doughnuts for work. Other people would appreciate the idea that I waited forever to bring them a sweet treat. I'm a sucker for sweets and I don't really discriminate when it comes to anything with sugar, but I don't see what all the hype is about..

  • Kat R.

    I live pretty close to here & have gone here several times, donuts are always amazing, my favorite are the apple & peach fritters. My only con is: the staff. I've seen more than once people come out of their way to go to VooDoo- expecting a good experience & are exited to be there.. but when they finally reach the the counter & ask questions etc & the staff response is 'I don't know they are just donuts' I could personally care less about the staff because I go there often simply for the yummy donuts but I just feel kinda bad because VooDoo is hard to come by and should feel kiiinda special??!

  • T M.

    HOLY DOUGHNUTS! This place is awesome...I just cant finish the doughnuts....so much sugar. Nonetheless, if you have sweet tooth, this is the place to go! The only downside is parking is bad and you stand in line. No secrets here, just an inconvenience if you are on the go.

  • Amanda K.

    Voodoo donut was genius when they put this location right near the weed store. I bet they make a killing here. When I stopped here with my husband the line was out the door but it moved quickly. I got the captain crunch and my husband got one with Oreo and peanut butter. I couldn't believe the freshness of the doughnuts. This was the best doughnut I have ever had. I hope they look to expand nationwide in the future or at least to DC. Make sure you have cash or use the ATM inside.

  • Michelle N.

    We loved the Neapolitan, the Blue Raspberry/Cotton Candy, the Dirt (Oreo) and the Bubble Gum donuts are all awesome! I didn't care too much for the Captain Crunch or the Grape Ape.....too sweet and neither tasted good, too overpowering for my tastebuds:)

    VooDoo Doughnuts - a big craze right now, so we had to check it out. There currently are approximately 54 varieties. Some of the doughnuts are vegan too. Interior - linoleum floor, purple, blue, and tangerine orange colored walls. 3 big chandeliers, 2 display cases that have an example of each of the doughnuts, or the majority of them anyway. There is a black (high) ceiling, which helps it to "disappear." Be prepared to stand in line, a line that snakes through the beginning of the restaurant. There is no place to sit, so be prepared, as you will have to wait. There is an ATM machine inside the door, which is good, as Voodoo Doughnuts is a "CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT." You are warned of this with several signs throughout the place. Remember, CASH ONLY. The staff was friendly enough, and answered our questions, as we pointed to doughnuts in the display case, asking which this one is, what's that one, etc. The majority of the people in line in front of us, were doing the exact same thing, so be prepared to wait. There is a large sign above the main counter, that shows a TINY picture of each doughnut, with an even tinier one-liner below that. It would be easier and nicer, if somehow the establishment made a larger sign, or larger picture of each of the 54 (or so) variety of doughnuts, one that you can actually read while standing in line. Yes, they had a few printed menus at the front counter, which people (including us) were passing around, once we had read the menu. A bigger, easier to read, sign of the different doughnuts would be greatly appreciated. Prices - really couldn't tell you, as I didn't see them posted anywhere in the store. I asked the young lady that assisted us at the front counter, how much a dozen doughnuts were. She quoted me something about approximately $7 for a dozen of some type of doughnuts, and $12 (or something like that) for a dozen of another type of doughnuts. It was very hard to hear her, as she spoke very softly, the music in the background was loud, and there were lots of people in line (again, be prepared to wait), so it was noisy. Parking - street parking, so you will have to feed a meter, or find parking, perhaps, on a side street. Recap - will we be back, most likely.... No. I must admit that we tried the buttermilk bar, which was one of the 4 we tried. I absolutely love a buttermilk bar (doughnut). The buttermilk bar at VooDoo doughnuts is not worth it, it was very dry! The buttermilk bar at Lamar's Doughnuts is so much better! Hey, all of the doughnuts at Lamars Doughnuts are better, that's my opinion. Yes, they have 54 (or so) variety of doughnuts at VooDoo doughnuts, but the variety really doesn't matter, if the basic doughnut (the basic batter of the doughnut) is not that great. Enjoy your doughnuts, but probably somewhere else, and that's my opinion.

  • Sarah M.

    Was in Denver visiting with friends and we knew we had to go to Voodoo. Went around 5pm on Saturday and the line was just out the door. But it moved quickly. The woman at the counter was very friendly. We got 12 doughnuts of our choice but next time I may decide to do the Voodoo dozen where they pick for you. All the donuts we got were delicious. The bacon on the maple bacon was generous. The cinnamon sugar was comparable to ones I've had at apple farms. Fruit loops on the Gay Bar were kind of stale. But overall a great experience and must see when in Denver (or Portland where their original shop is).

  • Chris W.

    Voodoo Doughnut Denver has a slight resemblance to the 'Seinfeld' character 'The Soup Nazi'. Because the store often forms a line, customers are forced to form a line in front of Voodoo Doughnut, eventually entering the front of the store, and being corralled like cattle. That said: Even The Soup Nazi would understand if there was a customer caught between the interior and exterior of his store and realize that the door won't be able to close. During my recent visit, the employees of Voodoo Doughnut were no less yelling at customers constantly to close the door. I realize that Voodoo Doughnut serves food and that a certain level of hygiene needs to be kept. However, Voodoo Doughnut should consider an alternative solution if it's such a problem. Unfortunately that 'self serving' attitude does not clear even after entering Voodoo Doughnut. The employees are generally less than helpful in explaining the variety of doughnuts; like you're supposed to inherently know what a 'Captain my Captain doughnut' is. Sure, one could assume that this is a doughnut covered in Captain Crunch. Even beyond knowing their 'coined' names for doughnuts, the employees seem generally inconvenienced by their own clientele. Voodoo Doughnut is a cash only business. Although it is none of my concern as to the safety of those in and around the store; it does make for a rather inconvenient experience. Yes, Voodoo Doughnut has an ATM onsite, but am I the only one who doesn't like ATM fees? I continue to go to Voodoo Doughnut because they do make a delicious Vegan Doughnut, which is dairy and egg free. Having a little one that has food allergies, being able to let them experience foods that they would have otherwise not known is important to me. All-in-all I think Voodoo Doughnut would be an awesome establishment if the employees showed a little more concern for its customers. Don't treat people like they are second class or that you are doing them a favor, because you're not. Even some of the strongest businesses have fallen for failing to see the needs of their customers. And heck, even our local grocery stores are selling doughnuts that have a strong resemblance to yours, making yours a little less 'special'.

    A line out the door can indicate it's delicious or a poorly ran business. Poorly ran in the fact that it does expand to meet demand... Currently standing in the very long line... We'll see... The "cash only" policy is not customer friendly. The sexual innuendos at various places on the menu should be found in a sleazy night club, not a doughnut shop. But then again it's on Colfax... Okay so the staff are typical hipster snobs. You know, the types who never give a cordial "thank you." The actual doughnuts are pretty good, but not too different than your typical doughnut. Bravo for having brilliant marketing.

    th e donuts are all very cleverly thought up and creative. unfortunately parking is such an inconvience that i won't go again. i parked in the back for 10 and had a BOOT put on my car. Really dude a boot? Colfax is impossible to street park its busy every night of the week. Id rather hit up Donut house in Aurora. Also they only take cash, even though there is an atm in the place, then there are atm fees. The voodoo doll is ways overly frosted and has some kind of raspberry jelly inside. i like vomiting after i ate it. The gay bar is good and so is the mango tango.

  • Phung L.

    Word of advice, if you had the opportunity to go late at night where there's probably not a line, you should consider it otherwise you'll find yourself standing in line for an hour! The line itself looks deceivingly short, but as you make your way to the window, much to my dismay, there's another line inside that snakes around. Oh and it's cash only so please bring cash because their ATM is oh so slow. Reminds me of trying to log online via 56k dial up modem on AOL. Ahhhhh the good ol' days... I also recommend figuring out what you want to order first with your smart phone because I've had difficulty trying to read the small print on their screen. Can someone please change the font size?! It is all digital btw. Finally...and I'm not really upset about it simply because of how hectic and busy they were, be sure to double check your order because they forgot my Voodoo Doll. After purchasing approximately two dozen of various assortments of Voodoo's crazed concoctions on donuts, I've come to the realization that there are so many donuts that I can consume in one sitting, and it turned out to be about 1.5...but I'm glad I choose the Captain My Captain which was the one with Captain Crunch and it was absolutely amazing! Somehow waiting outside in the frigid cold and I wasn't even dressed properly didn't seem like a foolish idea after all! I also tried a small piece of the Grape Ape and though it looked pretty with a lavender glaze and purple sprinkles, it had a subtle grape flavor to it however I immediately correlated it to tasting like children's cold medicine Dimetapp. Ordering the "Cock and Balls" as a humorous gift for a friend I wasn't prepared for what happened. I was curious to know why the cock and balls were over $5, I couldn't be certain because the font size wasn't legible, but when the cashier pulled my order she held it with both hands. It was GINORMOUS! This gargantuan penis shaped donut made a thudding sound as she dropped it in my box which took up a a quarter of the space. With all the mishaps and having to wait in line, though it was quite annoying as I grew impatient waiting for these donuts, I will definitely return again, but I won't be waiting in line. Lesson learned.

    Had to check it out, had driven by and saw people waiting 30mins for donuts? Went at 11pm on a Sunday night and still had to wait 15min that is crazy! Cool place great place to people watch being that it's in a "great" part of town. Donuts are good definitely on the $$$ side but you got to get the cock n balls. The menu is a mofo to read real small and 20 feet away from the register. Cash only operation which is not the most convenient. All in all a must in Denver and good fat free eatin!

  • Tony I.

    Went today at 5:30am not expecting a line and I was right. Sadly I thought no line would mean no long wait but I was mistaken. There were 2 people in from of me and it took 20 minutes before I hit the counter to order. Why does it take them 10 minutes per customer? I wanted to pull my face off in frustration. To make matters worse some colfax scum was behind me in line asking people if he could cut because he had to go to work. After 10 minutes of listening to this he saw the tiny print of the cost of each donut and left. I guess I'll try it again in a year or so. The coffee wasn't bad so there's that

  • Charlotte S.

    CASH ONLY. There is a (slow) ATM inside. Went on Friday evening (5pm), waited in line for about 50 minutes to get our donuts. The big thing I noticed that was holding up the line, was that no one has a clue what they want when they get up to the counter. Sure, there could be more open registers, but in reality I saw a lot of people walking up to the counter squinting at the menu (which is very small), saying "uhhhhhhhh, ummmm, maybe this one? No two of that one" when it is their turn. Not only that but people are buying dozens of donuts to make the wait worth it. The donut menu is online, I suggest people take a moment to figure out a game plan before coming in: voodoodoughnut.com/dough… Or have someone hold your spot, while you scope out the menu/donuts and report back to your friend. We got the Voodoo Doll (very good jelly filling), Captain My Captain (Captain Crunch), The Loop (Fruit Loops) for $5. I won't be back for another month or so until the crowds (hopefully) die down.

    Yes, the "magic is in the hole" unless its filled with cream and then you'll make it erupt, when you take a bite, won't you. All the innuendos traveled well across the Rocky Mountains but the place just doesn't have the same feel as the original, exposed brick, hole in the wall that I've known as Voodoo Doughnuts the two times I entered its walls. I have been a fan of this establishment since I wandered in on a warm summer day in 2007...Oh wait that was the original in Portland. This place, while just as snarky, loses a few points. Why? The inside is a little too modern and bright in my opinion but it fits into the whole plaza scheme they have going on here. Also there is and has been a ginormous line for the stupid things whereas Portlanders know its good and are not that desperate. Geezus Denver...get a grip. So I waited in said line because hell who knows when I'm going back to Portland. I know, I just called you guys (myself) out. The donuts however are the same. The grape ape is insanely good, a burst of grape-y (artificial) flavor. I also enjoy me some Old Dirty Bastard (chocolate, oreos, peanut butter? what isn't good about this). The memphis Mafia is serious business and I can't quite get the banana flavor out of the mound of fried, glazed dough covered in chocolate and peanut butter frosting layers. It's still good but I left it (albeit a huge piece leftover) wanting more. The mango tango is too much. Its too sweet with jelly and frosting and glazing... I like the tang frosting though. Next up on my taste test is that tang donut they offer. The cock-n-balls is just a bigger, funner version of the Portland cream...and who doesn't want that?? They blast rock music (like most of Denver anyway) and your wanna be hip but tatted crowd awaits in the sprawling line. It really only takes 30 minutes. Not that bad considering the wait for say...a cronut.

    I had so much fun standing in line. I have no idea why - I normally despise waiting in line. Perhaps it was because I was there in the company of some friends. There seemed to be some camaraderie with the people also waiting patiently for donuts. There were a couple of us who really had a chance to bond while waiting a small eternity for the ATM to dispense money to us. I'm not complaining, I mean, it's not like the line was snaking along at any real quick pace; I had nowhere else to be. Oh, to those Yelpers who mentioned that it was a cash only place: you're awesome. I wish I'd remembered the sage wisdom before I'd stood in line for twenty minutes and had to use the archaic little ATM, but whatever! I felt like I'd won a prize when I got to the counter. The folks working the front were super nice and helpful, and they probably could have given me a pink box of tissues and I would have left giddy. I had no idea what the big deal was, but it's been forever since I've gotten caught up in the excitement of the next new thing, it didn't really matter. So far, none of this is helpful at all as far as a review goes, I know. Here's what tips I can share: 1) Pretend you're in line for security at the airport. It smells much better than an airport, and you're not having to drag carry-on luggage or remove your belt and spare change when you get to the front. You are, in fact, embarking on an adventure. 2) Get the donut with the rice krispies on it. It had peanut butter and chocolate and was delicious. No idea what it was called. I didn't know what to get, so it was just a freak discovery. 3) The maple bacon thing - I bought one, because everyone was all OMGMAPLEBACON, and it was OK and all, but I didn't have an orgasm or anything. That's the right way to judge a donut, yes? Whether or not eating it helps you achieve climax? No? Moving on. 4) The bumper stickers are funny, but surprisingly pricy for being tiny advertisements you stick on your car - I got one for $3.25. 5) Bring your reading glasses. The menu posted on the wall has the prices written in a font that's similar to the bottom line on those eye examination charts. I'll go again, likely when there isn't a ridiculous line. It's a fun place.

    A coworker brought some Voodoo donuts in to work last week. The two I had were "okay" but I think it was only because they were so unusual. I was saved from having to wait in an hour+ line but I don't need to go there now. If they hadn't had all the stuff on them and had just been regular donuts, I don't think I would have enjoyed them at all. They certainly weren't the quality of a Lamar's donut. Having now eaten a couple I honestly don't understand all the hype.

    (2)

  • Justin M.

    I came here to say I came here. The wait was long, cash only is annoying, and the lack of descriptions on the donuts in the case caused too many questions from every group (mine included). The donuts? Well, King Sooper's is doing a lot of the same stuff for like, 69 cents per donut. And you don't have to wait in a long ass line. The donuts tasted pretty good, but not that much different than any other donut shop. If you want to get one of their super zany donuts, go for it. If you want a normal donut or even something with marshmallows or cereal on top, holler at your local donutmonger instead.

    VooDoo Doughnuts has busted into Denver with a craze. I heard that the line was always 3 stores long on Colfax, and figured if they were that good, I had to try them. So one Sunday, I went down there with a friend of mine and waited in that 3 store long line. It took close to 45 minutes to get to the counter. They only had 2 registers open. That baffled me a bit. Do they want it to always look so busy? Maybe that keeps the appeal going. I got up to the counter and honestly didn't have much in mind of what I wanted to get except that I wanted to taste everything. I got an assorted box of 9 doughnuts. They aren't shy about their prices. For 9 doughnuts it was $20. The bacon maple bar was stellar. It was not overly done with maple and the bacon was extra crisp and not soggy like other bacon doughnuts. The peach fitter was a little over the top in quantity. It was larger than my entire hand. My favorite was the Ol' Dirty Bastard. How can you go wrong with peanut butter, chocolate and Oreo crumbled on top. It was magical. All in all, I think the doughnuts were awesome, but not something I would frequently purchase and wait in line for.

    I've been watching food shows about Voodoo donuts for a number of years and was looking forward to visiting the shop in Denver. It lived up to my expectations. We got a couple maple bacon bars, voodoo guys, dirt and a butterfingering. They were all delicious (i didn't eat all of them but definitely tasted each). The wait was about 10 minutes and yeah cash is king.

    When I visited Denver we went here and I am so glad that we did. The first time my husband and I tried to go they were sold out! But we went the next day again and, though the line was crazy long, we hot our deliciously crazy doughnuts. Definitely will make this a regular spot when we move.

  • Erica L.

    I came on an off hour so we didn't have to wait. I had no idea they had a Denver location, so I was so excited to visit. Love the theme and ambience- so much fun!! We ordered the voodoo doll, the Bavarian crime one and a grape one. The doughnuts were delish, but very massive and over the top. I could only take a few bites of each before stopping. I think you're really going to say you went and enjoy the hype, but I probably wouldn't go there often in my free time. I'm all about a simple glazed Round Rock doughnut here in Texas :) In summary, you have to go at least once. They make a great gift or snack for a group of people to enjoy. If you want to go and get one for yourself well... Make sure you're not diabetic lol

    I almost never review places after 1 visit/experience but I am living with wreckless abandon right now (judging by the 5 doughnuts I just ate). Gold stars for everyone involved in the experience! To the doughnut chef, its quite possible that I'm in love with you now! To the darling young lass piling doughnuts in that unmistakable pink box, you win a lifetime achievement award! To the great conversationalist waiting next to me in line, thanks for not being weird! Seriously, if you haven't gone here ... go. Now. Drive for miles to come here. Eat doughnuts till your eyes leak sugary glaze. You will not regret it. One last thought. Maple bacon long john? Don't mind if I voodoo (sorry, that pun was inevitable).

    Stopped by on the way home from Pinche the other night.picked up a plethora of fun. Dirt, ODB were the two faves. 5 stars for location. Let's be real Denver Voodoo belongs on E Colfax, truth. 3.75 stars for dough nuts- love the creative flavor and names combos. Good amount of density, and flavors are unique. 5 Stars - Staff was super friendly and made the wait worth it. Hopefully, they don't burn out once they help the masses who stare at the options with uncertainty. Thanks for coming to Denver! I am sure many others are excited that we became your 1st city outside of Portland. Partially biased because they are 4 blocks from home? Possibly.

    Well, the donuts are perfect, I like to say they are the best in the whole wide world! But I'm not sure the wait is worth dealing with. I have been twice and waited longer than I have in Portland. The other morning I went and the line looked doable however, after getting inside I realized there was only 1 person working. So it took over an hour, and it was 6:30 am on Saturday. The thing is, when you finally get to the counter you don't want just a donut, you waited so long you're going to do what everyone ahead of you has done and order a bunch!! I read somewhere they should break up the lines and make one for say 8 or more. I also think that since there is no where to actually sit down and eat them, that also contributes to ordering larger amounts which, leads to a longer time to order. At least in Portland you can sit outside and have a donuts. But all that aside, I do love Voodoo. The texture and consistency is impeccable. I was worried it wouldn't be the same as Portland due to altitude, but they nailed it. I recommend the maple bacon bar and the ODB. Get ready for sugar overload!! I can't wait to take all my out of town visitors here!

    Horrible place - makes you want to eat doughnuts. Beware. I could avoid doughnuts before with no problem. Now I'm afraid I'm hooked. Try some adventure in your doughnuts with their interesting fancy donuts, or enjoy the simplicity of an old-fashioned or a Mexican hot chocolate. Delicious whichever way you go. Study the online menu (with pictures and descriptions) rather than squinting at the board at the shop. If you have a smartphone, this will give you a good way to occupy the time while in line. Now open 24/7 and there are off hours when there is no line, in case you're wondering. This is going to make the Atkins diet really hard............!

    Finally made my way to Voodoo this afternoon and was happy to see that there wasn't much of a line! I split a Voodoo Dozen (the employee gets to pick) with a friend and we have not been disappointed. The donuts seemed really fresh, and they have alot of fun, imaginative flavors. My favorite so far has been the Cap'n Crunch. We also added on a maple cinnamon blunt and a maple bacon bar. The blunt donut was okay, mostly just appealing because.... well, because it's a donut shaped like a blunt. The maple bacon bar was awesome and came with two big crispy slices of bacon on top. The service was very friendly, albeit slow, and there is not much in the ways of seating. I do wish they had bigger menus. The pictures of donuts are almost impossible to identify and the prices are virtually illegible from a distance-- and there were only a handful of people in front of us when we went. If you know that your business is going to have a constant line of people, making the menu more accessible for those in line is not a bad idea. Also, I know its been said, but the "cash only" thing really irritates me. Yeah, there's an ATM in the store....But when the homeless man on the corner selling the Voice accepts credit cards and your restaurant doesn't, I think that's pretty inexcusable.

    Overall most of the donuts we tried were over rated. The best one to try is the simple old fashioned cake. Just the right amount of sweetness with a crispy outside and light inside. Otherwise the service is pretty slow. Despite going during the middle of the day in the week there was a long line to the door as only one person was helping customers. They also lack any description of the various types of donuts but most of them were various colored sugar or sugared cereals.

    Really delicious and definitely worth the money. Wait can be a little long, but they go surprisingly fast for how many people they have in there. I'm a vegan and it so hard to find good places with vegan desserts. They have a lot of options for vegans, so I definitely recommend it!

  • Elizabeth S.

    The "No Name Doughnut" was worth the 20 minute wait but by the time we got to the front of the line I think the staff was cranky and the girl who waited on us did not seem very helpful. It is a fun place to visit once for the experience but I wouldn't wait in that long of a line again for a doughnut.

  • Jesse N.

    This place is always packed. One evening there was a break in the action and only five or so people in line, I figured I would see what the hype was about. Even with only five people it took a while, this place is full of gapers who have no idea what they want, don't have cash ready, so the line doesn't move very efficiently. Once it was my turn I asked for six mixed doughnuts, didn't care what kind as long as they didn't have things piled on top of them (they have a lot of these types). This didn't go over too well, as a long sigh and a reply of, "I have no idea what you want or like". After reassuring her I truly didn't care which ones, she reluctantly picked six random doughnuts. As for the product...its a doughnut, pretty good, but at the end of the day its a doughnut. Would I get another, sure, but I wouldn't wait in a line more than five deep.

    I've been here 3 times. And every time the same thing. The girls behind the counter get pissy that I order donuts. It's like, 'Hello, you work in a donut shop. I want donuts. Expect me to order donuts.' The only reason I went there was because it's famous, I didn't wait an hour in line and pay almost 20 bucks to get the stink eye from some girl just because I'm not hipster enough. Jesus, I hate to be that guy but come on, King Soopers sells donuts at a quarter of the price and nobody gives you shit for being a paying customer. My niece, 20, feels the same way every time she goes and she's been to the Portland VDs. The staff needs a serious attitude adjustment or find a job that isn't on the most mainstream street on Colorado, Colfax (if that's their qualm). Either way, they lost a customer. By the way, my niece says that the Portland crew was awesome.

    Good thing they have good donuts because the staff sucks! Couldn't have been any ruder to me and my wife and kids. It's a shame. We were visiting and I've seen the place on one of the cooking shows and wanted to try it. After being treated like that I will never have a nice thing to say about it. I don't give money to establishments who treat me like that.

  • Andy M.

    I LOVE donuts. This place definitely has more talk than what its worth, and the prices are ridiculously expensive, but it is a fun activity to do with friends from out of the area or on a random free day just for fun. The line can be anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Check out the Tex-ass challenge. The donut is the size of a face and to succeed the entire donuts must be swallowed by the individual within a minute and twenty seconds. Fun stuff.

    Grand opening is planned for 1/15, but I decided to stop in and get my end of year fix during their soft opening. If you can wait 40 minutes, don't be turned away by the lines as they actually do move at a steady pace. Like in my tip, I recommend checking out the menu on their website ( voodoodoughnut.com/dough… ) as the menu at the store is almost impossible to read without 20/15 vision. I was a little bummed out that by the time I got there (11:20am) they were already sold out of the Voodoo Doughnut doll and had no stickers left to purchase, but I was able to get everything else on my list which included a dirt doughnut, an ODB doughnut and of course the maple bacon bar doughnut. That was by far my favorite. I liked the dirt one (white frosting and crumbled oreos on top) alright, but after a while it was a little too sweet for me. The ODB (chocolate frosting with crumbled oreos and peanut butter drizzle) was better, but I guess I'm not that huge of a peanut butter fan. The maple bacon bar (maple frosting with bacon) was doughnut perfection. The combination of savory and sweet was spot on and I definitely devoured that one immediately. Can't wait to return and bring the rest of my crew to try it out. Oh and if you're a beer lover like myself, make sure to get the Rogue Brewery/Voodoo Doughnut Pretzel, Raspberry Chocolate ale to wash it all down with. Delish!

    Hands down the best doughnuts I've ever had! The wait was a little lengthy considering the line was out the door at 9:45 at night. The worst part is finding a parking spot, other than that it is totally worth every moment you wait in line. Prices are very reasonable also!!

  • Chad W.

    Ok, first I have to warn you...Voodoo Doughnut only has on street parking. And I apologize if I'm repeating this but consider yourself warned. My family and I stopped by on a Sunday and after doing two laps around the block decided we'd park in the parking lot in the back. Voodoo doughnuts even puts signs up saying there's only on street parking and that you'd be the wiser to adhere to the rules. We were only in the store for 5 minutes before my wife realized her phone was in the car and she wanted to go back and get it. When she went back to get it there was already a boot on our car. The parking guy was friendly but you could tell he's heard every insult ever thrown at a person. However, it was our fault, $100 parking fine. You can't even fight it because there's multiple signs in the parking lot. We did the math and those doughnuts cost us $11.62 each. Now, I'm not giving Voodoo 3 stars because of this minor infraction. I'm giving Voodoo 3 stars because their doughnuts were just 'ok'. They didn't make anything that I couldn't get at my local King Soopers besides maybe the voodoo doll and the penis shaped doughnut; which I'm in the process of talking King Soopers into carrying those two items. They have a really cool brand and it's new. I really hope they look at a different location.

  • John M.

    Like many others, love the creative names and flavors of the donuts. The BAD... I have been there twice mid-week and both times there was a very slow moving line. They must recruit there cashiers from Walmart because they are so slowwww and not interested in explaining their product. Many of the names given to the donuts are not intuitive to the donuts turning on the display carousel. The staff is aloof and lacks any level of customer service. I visited twice but won't be back.

  • Steph B.

    Waited in line for an hour and 20 mins, but it was nice outside and totally worth it. We got 10 doughnuts to split between 2 people (as you wait in line you want more and more and end up getting a whole box) and holy batman they are good. We got Bacon Maple, captain my captain, dirt doughnut, the loop, the neapolitan, Mexican hot chocolate, the old fashion, voodoo doll, tangfastic and the Old Dirty Bastard. Do it.

    Where humor and creativity meet with doughnuts. The doughnuts are tasty and items are reasonably priced but the line is always long with only 2 cash registers. They also only accept cash as payment.

    Ok, here's the deal. It's a unique doughnut place, and I applaud the creativity and wide range of options. But why is there always a line?? The doughnuts are alright, but I don't think there's anything THAT spectacular going on worth waiting more than a few minutes for. If you do go: ~ Bring cash, no cards ~ Get the maple bacon bar - this one is pretty great ~ Go realllllly early in the am to try to avoid the lines ~ Watch where you park or you'll get towed. Seriously though, if you're on your way to buy a box of doughnuts, it probably won't kill ya to walk an extra block from a legit parking spot

    As much as I've heard about this place, I was expecting to be wowed. I was not wowed, not even a little bit. First of all, we went there at 2am, and there was still a line out the door. Which isn't really their fault, it just means they're popular. I wouldn't have a problem with waiting almost an hour to order donuts, if the donuts were worthy of waiting an hour for. They really weren't though. Don't get me wrong, I didn't throw my donut away in disgust. It was ok. I ate it and I was glad to have eaten it ( I mean come on, it was 2am on a Saturday night. ANY donut would have done at that point), but I woill never stand in line for that long for such a mediocre display of donutry(not a word) ever again. Oh yeah, and they only take cash. Atleast the guy that helped us was nice. He was very enthusiastic about each donut we chose for our dozen, which was highly entertaining.

  • Shelby E.

    I was excited that Voodoo Donuts was coming to Denver! I had never tried their donuts but had seen marvelous reviews on TV shows like Man vs. Food, Andrew Zimmern, etc. Unfortunately, I was left feeling let down by the exaggerated hype. First of all, the lines are ridiculous. I've driven by several times and there is always a continuous line outside the door. Second, the menu is impossible to read. Bring your phone and look at the menu ahead of time so you know what donuts they offer. Third, the staff is friendly but absurdly slow. I ordered a dozen donuts and stood there for a good 15 minutes while the guy behind the counter slowly filled the box with donuts while chatting with his coworkers. Fourth, the price is per donut and getting the specialty donuts can really add up. Fifth, I LOVE any and all sugar products but these donuts were too sweet. I'm surprised I didn't end up in a sugar-induced coma after eating one donut. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this establishment because the donuts are nothing more than overpriced, over-sugared pieces of deep fried dough. Save your money and get donuts from your local grocer; it'll save you time, frustration, and money.

  • Allie S.

    Braved the wait out of curiosity. Took one star off because of the disorganized system for paying...Only takes cash, have few cashiers and they took their sweet time!! Otherwise the donuts were delicious! Tried four different ones and loved them all. Both yeasted and cake donuts tasted good. Definitely five stars if the store management gets its act together.

  • Cody H.

    This place was great! I saw them (Seattle location) on whatever food show once and had to swing by when I was in town from Kansas. I could smell the doughnuts from outside and about died from the deliciousness that entered my nostrils inside. Good thing it smelled so good since the line took me about 15mins to get through. Wasn't a big deal, but it was slow and the cashiers didn't seem to be the quickest. Ended up leaving with six doughnuts for me and my wife. They were all tasty!

  • Gary O.

    Stopped in for a quick treat on a Friday night. There was definitely a line but not too long. Finally worked our way to the front and asked the cashier what a couple of different doughnuts were. She was NOT in the mood to help or be polite. (Perhaps she was trying to be 'trendy' as in a 'oh it is so trendy to be rude and disrespectful to customers', I don't know...I don't prefer rude and disrespectful but perhaps that is why so many people go here). Ended up ordering a Captain my Captain and a mexican hot chocolate doughnut. After two more eye rolls she bagged them and I gave her cash and she gave me my change change all in change (I gave her a $10 for a $2 something bill and I got all change back...come on, seriously!) The captain my captain was pretty good. Too sweet to eat more then half. Threw the other half out (not their fault on that, just a whole lot of sugar...but tasty sugar). The mexican hot chocolate doughnut was not good. Apparently what makes it 'mexican' is cayenne pepper. Not a good combination. Took one bite and thought, 'ugh...is that cayenne pepper.'. Took another bite and verified and in the trash it went. All in all, if you are looking for a trendy spot where you stand in line forever, are treated rudely by the employees who refuse to help you without eye rolling and grunting and make you pay in cash and then give you all change back (seriously...who uses all $1 coins for change???) then go to voodoo doughnuts. It is definitely the place for you. Pretty sure I'll hit up anywhere else from here on out. Place had a lot of potential but rude employees and bad service never deserve a second chance in my opinion.

  • Sara L.

    Good donuts, creative vibe... I like it. However, there is much room for improvement in the system of getting the donut... Two biggest: 1. They need a readable menu with information about the donuts. Why not hand out a plastic menu to people in line? Or hang a big sign on the wall? The tiny tv menus don't tell you anything about the fillings/toppings. (We pulled their Oregon website's menu up on our phones.) This would cut down on the time spent asking about each donut. 2. Take turns building boxes. Assign one person to do it at a time. A cashier cannot efficiently build boxes, take orders, fill orders, and do the cash transaction. Hence, the 45 minute wait.

    (4)

  • Irenka H.

    Went, saw, had a donut. It was good. But really, how often can one eat donuts? I suppose if I lived nearby I'd swing in more often, but it's certainly not the place to go and sit and enjoy a hot cup of coffee and donut - not that I thought that it would be, just that that's what I prefer when eating donuts.

    (2)

  • Robert G.

    Well we found out why there were the long lines. Not because of a great experience that awaited us but because of slow and poor service. Once inside we faced sticker shock and a staff that was not knowledgeable about their products. The kicker was that when I bit into my jelly doughnut, there wasn't a drop of filling inside of it. Eek! Methinks not.

  • Heather G.

    YES, a donut is a donut. YES, donuts are cheaper at King Soopers, etc. But NO, you can not get donuts like VD's donuts anywhere else. Stop being such grumps. You know you love the Dirt, the Miami Vice, the Cock-N-Balls and the Gay Bar. Voodoo Doughnut wasn't created for you to wake up and go to buy a practical box of doughnuts. The awesomeness lay within the novelty of the place. The weird, colorful once in a while thrill. Furthermore, the staff aren't there to blow sunshine and glitter up your ass. Go to Krispy Kreme if you're going to get so butt hurt because someone isn't on the same rainbow stripe as you. KK employees are specifically trained to kiss your ass and honey, this ain't no Krispy Kreme. Don't want to spend $3.25 on a doughnut? ....then don't? There are tons of doughnuts available for under $2.00. Common sense, people. I say this with love. Quit hating on those who dare to be different just because their weirdness isn't for you and go knock yourselves out at King Soopers. :]

    I heard about Voodoo from a relative and decided to make the 1.5 mile walk from my apartment to give them a try. Be prepared to wait in line, but the wait is worth it! Also, there will be little if any seating so I'd also be prepared to get them to go. I ordered an Old Dirty Bastard, Apple Fritter, Chocolate Cake and coffee. Coffee was good, but small, the doughnuts however were just outta the park! These are the best doughnuts I've ever had. Highly recommended!

  • Thaddius B.

    Way to much hype? Yes..... Delicious donut? Yes..... Picking your donut like reading the bottom line at the eye Dr.? YES!! We waited maybe 20 minutes and there was no line outside. I think I figured it out though. Because every time the line started to get shorter a couple of the registers would close until 15 more people walked in then they would magically reopen. Making sure there is always a line just feeds the hype and the tiny screens ensure it takes everyone 3 times longer to order. These guys are genius on several levels. I had the bacon maple it was darn good but not the best donut I ever had, but I am not a huge donut guy. A great addition to Colfax and think it will also help out other bars and restaurants in the area too.

  • Jeremy B.

    We've been here twice and the donuts are very unique. There was such a variety of donuts to choose from and they were all pretty soft and tasty. We ate some of our donuts a day later and they were still soft unlike most donuts I've had before! Upon each visit there was a very long line. We visited this place when it first opened and just came back a fee months later hoping the lines would be shorter! No luck, this place is super popular and the quality of the donuts justifies it!

  • Clarissa D.

    If you are willing to wait 10 minutes or so for some phenomenal doughnuts, this place is for you. The line is not that bad at all, and it moves quickly, so be sure to know exactly what you want ahead of time (their menu is online). Voodoo does try to be efficient while giving people a memorable experience. Also, you should have cash on hand. For around 6 doughnuts it'll be around $10-$12, which isn't too bad considering the hype and doughnuts that they sell. What can I say? They're incredible. Try the Old Dirty Bastard and the Portland Cream. Next time I go, I'll try the Maple Bacon Bar for sure. Voodoo itself offers a cool environment itself, and the employees are not snobbish whatsoever. Literally though, I could only eat one doughnut a day because otherwise you get this insane sugar high, headaches, toothaches, you name it. Your sugar cravings could be cured in one bite of these. IMPORTANT NOTICE OF PARKING: Your car will be towed unless you park it in the right area. Pay attention to the signs. What I did was park in the residential areas nearby, and I didn't hang around just in case I was not allowed to park there. You just have to be cautious and pay attention to your surroundings and you'll be fine. There is nothing like Voodoo. You have to go.

    Decided to check out voodoo doughnuts after dinner on a late Sunday night. There was a pretty long line but it moved pretty fast. The girl that worked behind the cashier was very sweet and helped me decide on which flavors I wanted to try. The maple bacon bar did not disappoint. It was delicious! The other doughnuts I tried were a bit overwhelming for be but my boyfriend loved the chocolate glazed. I got 3 doughnuts for about $5 but they are pretty big and dense! Overall I'll be returning on my next trip to Denver.

  • Jonathan R.

    Gimmickry. Anyone can take an ordinary or unimpressive donut and smear crap on it. Here's no exception. Go to LaMar's on 6th. It's also an obnoxious environment with evil images pasted on the walls and a celebration of voodoo religion apparent everywhere. The actual donut here is nothing special with hopelessly greasy and sweet goo dumped on rather ordinary donuts.

  • Jana K.

    Customer service was super. They were very helpful and conversational. The chocolate peanut butter Oreo doughnut was a great combination. I love the variety of flavors offered. The store was closing for a wedding this morning, I barely made the cut off in line. I think it's great that they have weddings there but I felt like the timing was a little inconvenient for many late Sunday morning doughnut seekers.

    You know when there's a popular movie out and everyone tells you it was THE BEST MOVIE EVER. And then you see it and you're like...wait...what? That's it? Did I miss something? It's because you expected it to be amazing, and then you were disappointed. Well, my expectations for Voodoo were impossibly high. Not only do I love donuts an embarrassingly large amount, but I also have a lot of "foodie" friends in Denver and Portland who were all "VOODOO IS SOOOOO GOOD - IT'S BETTER THAN YOUR CRAPPY DONUTS - YEAH, SOOOOO MUCH BETTER." So yeah. We had to go here. And this place HAD to be ridiculous to align with my already-sky-high expectations. And well? (Slow clap) Some questions for the owners/creators: Are these donuts sprinkled with crack flakes? Is the dough mixed with unicorn tears? Well, whatever you mad scientists do to these donuts? KEEP DOING IT. I've never had such soft, doughy, flavorful, fresh donuts ever. Not to mention, the flavors are all wildly creative and crazy. But that's besides the point. Even the "boring" donuts were a real treat. My friends and I came here late Friday night over Memorial Day weekend (11:30ish) after dinner and waited in the line...but honestly, it wasn't even that bad. I mean...I guess for DONUTS it's a long time to wait. But if you just want fast donuts, pick up some Entemann's at 7-11. If you want high-quality, UNFORGETTABLE, coma-inducing, seriously sinful donuts. Wait 15 minutes. Just keep focusing on the donuts and saying "Worth it. Worth it. Worth it." It's called a mantra, people. There were 6 of us in our group, so we just ordered a dozen and sort of each took a bite of all the donuts to taste test them...for SCIENCE, guys. We were sort of ADD and had a hard time picking (sorry to hold up the line to the people behind us, but again, WORTH IT!)...and our favorites were: - Blueberry Cake doughnut (I know, I know...who orders a CAKE donut here...well we did and it wassssss the bomb. I know people don't say "the bomb" anymore, but that's why I'm saying it now. Just to emphasize how incredibly amazing it was. I'm willing to look uncool and old and totally lame just to communicate this point to you. Are you even listening anymore!?) - Marshall Mathers doughnut (I was lobbying HARD for this donut and was really happy I pushed for it. It was simple...but unforgettable). - Tangfastic doughnut (ARE THESE PEOPLE ON DRUGS!? WHO COMES UP WITH THESE AMAZING IDEAS!?) - Dirt doughnut (tasted like cookies and cream...but like in its best iteration) - No Name doughnut (yes. yes. yes.) And then we all wanted to die. Ha. No, just kidding. But seriously, this was the definition of gluttony and I loved every. Single. Second. It's a good thing I don't live in Denver or Portland or I would not be able to fit in a car.

    Wow I think some of the bad reviews on this place are a little harsh. We have been waiting to go here and finally on a Saturday the line wasn't yet out the door so we went! Everything we tried we loved. The yeast and the cake donuts here are so damn good. Yes, they're very sweet but I'm pretty sure Voodoo isn't marketing itself as the type of breakfast place you go to for healthy morning meals people. Customer service was friendly. We would def. go back.

    Not sure how this is only 3-1/2 stars. Donuts were tasty, not greasy (for being fried), and creative. We ordered: - Dirt: yeast donut (YD) vanilla frosting and Oreo - if you like Oreos you will like this. - Portland Cream: YD, chocolate, Bavarian cream filling. - voodoo doll: YD raspberry filling and chocolate with pretzel (the stake). Really good but filling was all stuck on bottom portion. Didn't go through the whole donut like I think it was supposed to. - Memphis mafia: a fritter with banana and came with a bunch of toppings (chocolate, peanut butter, glaze, choco chips, and some nuts). Our least favorite but not terrible. Pretty sweet but they skimped on the banana and I didn't taste the cinnamon sugar it was supposed to have. I feel like they could have done without the glaze. The peanut butter and chocolate was tasty. Almost like a melted Reese's on a donut. :-). Cash only so come prepared.

    Not from scratch any more than King Soopers. Flavor combos end up being mostly sugar-on-sugar... No 'just out of the fryer' goodness like Krispy Kreme. The only remarkable thing about this place is the marketing success story and I suppose the pen. shaped donut. You can get cereal or bacon covered donuts at King Soopers now. I bet if I went out into the line of drunk / stoned people at 1am and did a taste test challenge, few could tell the difference.

    1. You will stand in line FOR A LONG TIME! 2. Bring cash! 3. If you leave without the Old Dirty Bastard, you'll regret it. 4. If you leave with an Old Dirty Bastard, you'll regret it, because you'll realize how addictive they are, and that in order to get more, you'll have to stand in that long line again.

    I've never been here at a normal hour so I'm eternally grateful for the open 24 hours a day aspect. Doughnuts aren't my thing so naturally $3.25 is absurd for a doughnut. With that said, VD is a great funky concept. The service has always been efficient and helpful when I visit at 3 or 4 in the morning. My faves are the jelly filled, esp. The raspberry ones, and the Marshall Mathers. Don't find them too life changing but fun too eat and look at. I've been to the original Portland location too and I think Colfax is a comparable shop in terms of urban flavor.

    It's a must visit in Denver. We went at 10:30pm and the place was packed wall to wall. The line moved pretty fast considering how busy they were. All the doughnuts I tried were delicious. I will definitely be stopping by next time I'm in the area.

    It was surreal going to the Denver Voodoo Doughnuts. I was getting used to this only being a Portland and Oregon institution. Not only that I spent a lot of time in this neighborhood while living in and around Denver so it is just weird seeing Voodoo Doughnuts right off of Colfax. Not that I don't welcome it! It's awesome that it is here but most of my very good friends live in Denver so taking them to Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland does not have as much novelty as it once did. I find it odd that the owner decided on Denver though as his out of state location. He went to plenty of research going all over the country and abroad deciding where to open another location and Denver won out in his mind! I really liked this location and the atmosphere has all the strange quirks that Voodoo is known for. The store had barriers up to prepare for long lines during certain times of the day and week but a friend and I got in with ease. There was just a small line which dissipated quickly. It appears there are some kinds of doughnuts at this location that the other locations may not have. For example I believe they had doughnuts with "Colfax" and "Mile High" in the doughnut's title. I got a dozen doughnuts to take back to my family in Fort Collins and got a nice variety. I knew no one would eat the Bubblegum flavored doughnut I got so I ate that one and loved it! The Old Dirty Bastard was very good too! My mom seemed to take to these doughnuts the most more than anyone else so I am glad she enjoyed how tasty these doughnuts are!

    I've been trying to diet on vacation (huge mistake) and have avoided this place for a whole month while in Denver, but I broke down today and enjoyed the vanilla oreo cookie concoction (name?) and it was incredible! The best part was that there was no line when I went in around 1:30 PM on a Friday. I must have just missed the lunch crowd, I feel so lucky! It's a must do if you are in Denver.

    Never have been a huge donut lover, but was told to try this place. I got the voodoo doll, and it was delicious! I was surprised when the doll started to "bleed" out. It really is as great as everyone makes it out to be.

    Open late a delicious. Can't go wrong! I will add that I would never wait in the long long long lines out the door for these. When I went, there was literally no one else there so that was awesome. No doughnut is worth that to me personally and if I had to wait this rating would probably be lower...if that's useful!

    SOOO DELICIOUS!!! Voodoo has so many different flavors to choose from and with their "naughty" names and outrageous toppings..... needless to say its always worth the wait!! The donuts that have a cereal topping are amazing. The contrast in textures between the crunchy cereal and the soft donut make for a killer combination.

    I had heard so much about Voodoo doughnuts that I wasn't really that excited to go try them; I thought they had a whole bunch of locations and we were just the next store. Turns out, we are the first store outside of Oregon- yay Denver! That and most of their opening team moved here for a while in order to get everything set up; it's nice to think that they committed to the location here in the same way as the ones in Oregon. OK on to the doughnuts! We were eating nearby and decided we would try Voodoo for dessert. *Note that they are not officially open until January 15th, up until then they are in the "flaccid" opening stage*. They're currently opening at 6 am and then 6 pm, selling until they sell out, I think. We arrived around 9:00 pm on a Thursday night, and there were just a few people trickling out the door. We waited around 20 mins, so really not so bad at all! They did only have 2 people filling orders though- that seems like a foolhardy decision. My only other complaint- the menus are so, so teeny that they are absolutely impossible to read. We ended up getting the menu from their website on our phones and looking that way, but they don't have the Denver menu online so it's a bit different. We got up to the counter and ordered: 2 Old Dirty Bastards (peanut butter, chocolate and oreos on top), an Orangotang (vanilla frosting with tang powder and sprinkles), a Mango Tango (mango jelly filled, topped with vanilla glaze and Tang), a Dirty Doughnut (vanilla glaze with Oreos on top), a cake doughnut with chocolate glaze and one with vanilla and sprinkles, a Portland Creme and a Colfax Creme (bavarian creme filled, one chocolate glaze and one maple glaze) and a Voodoo doll (voodoo doll shaped doughnut, filled with raspberry jelly, topped with chocolate glaze and a pretzel stake sticking out). Total was $18 for 10 doughnuts, which isn't cheap but honestly isn't that bad either. So far we've tried all but the Orangatang, and every single one has been really delicious. The raised dough has a good rise, a good "doughnut" flavor, they haven't been greasy *at all*, and the flavors have been really outstanding. The Colfax Creme, and the Voodoo Doll have been my favorites- I normally don't care as much for filled doughnuts but the tangy raspberry jelly was nice and acidic and bright, and the bavarian creme/maple glaze combo on the Colfax Creme was a really great combination. The only one I didn't like was my Mango Tango- I just didn't like the combo of tang and mango jelly, and it didn't have as much mango flavor as I'd like. But I'm chalking that up to personal preference, and since all the others were so delicious, I'm still giving them a 5. My husband said today he'd want to go back because so many other flavors sounded appealing, so that says something. I don't think I'd wait in line for more than 30 mins or so, but if you see a short line, hop on in!

    Long wait, menus that can't be read from standing in line, and a mediocre product. Putting bacon on anything can make it better, usually. They have a great idea, but it just doesn't taste good. I really wanted to like this place, no such luck. 2 dozen donuts, I sampled almost all of them. I wouldn't eat any of them again.

  • Sam S.

    I've tried the Old Dirty Bastard as well as the peach fritter. Both were delicious. I understand that some people don't like how pricey their product is here, but their pastries really are above the standard.

    I am lucky enough to live just a quarter mile from VooDoo Doughnuts. This means that when I randomly see that there's a short line, I can quickly make my way over and grab some doughnuts. This is exactly what my fiance did last night. So I'm even luckier - I didn't have to stand in line at all! Now, don't be completely fooled. Just because there isn't a line out the door doesn't mean there's not a wait. When he got in line last night, he was the last person able to squeeze inside and ended up waiting for 50 minutes. To my pleasant surprise, I return from my haircut to a beautiful, pink box of a dozen doughnuts. He even waited until I got home to dig in. I knew there was a reason I'm marrying him. Upon opening the box, VooDoo Doughnuts are so colorful and crazy. I didn't know where to start, but the Capt'n Crunch doughnut caught my eye and so that's what I went with. I also grabbed the fruit loops doughnut (I'm a cereal kinda girl). My first reaction? This is a good doughnut. It was so rich and filling. Even though I sat down with two doughnuts, I threw in the towel after just one. I was completely stuffed. So far, I've had the Capt'n Crunch doughnut and the grape doughnut (for breakfast this morning). The Capt'n Crunch doughnut was unique and very good. Surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet, and I'm sensitive to that. The grape doughnut wasn't exactly my favorite. It tasted like the fake grape flavoring they put in popsicles. But I have more doughnuts waiting for me back home and will update my review after I've eaten a few more. The thing is this - I'm from the east coast. I moved here from DC and made many trips to NYC in the time that I lived there. The east coast has some AWESOME "gourmet" doughnut shops. VooDoo Doughnuts are not gourmet doughnuts and do not compare to gourmet doughnuts - hence the four stars. HOWEVER, they're still very good and beat the pants off of Krispy Kremes or Dunkin Donuts. So, will I return? Yes. Do these hit the spot when I'm craving some NYC-style gourmet doughnuts? No. But I'll take it.

    This place has some funky cool doughnuts on the menu, unfortunately I like my doughnuts simple and these are just sweet and sugary. I tried one of the simpler jelly filled ones and it was nothing to write home about. Honestly, I like the ones at 711 better. My boyfriend liked his (the voodoo doll one), but didn't think it was anything special. The place has a cool vibe, but the chic who helped us was kind of flaky. The atmosphere is cute and funky and the place smells heavenly, but I don't want to wait in line again. It's a novelty place to hit once and only go back when out of town guests visit.

    I got VD in Portland. Now I'm also glad to have received VD in Denver. So many other fans here, I'll make my review short and sweeeet: Cash only, expect to wait in line, bring your glasses to read the menu boards. The doughnuts are fantastic, and I exuberantly recommend any of the fritters (my personal favorite is the peach). My only complaint is that the store is poorly laid out to handle the amount of traffic they KNEW they would have.

    1.- the ATM machine is out of service most of the time 2.- Nasty attitudes from the employees the counter, meaning horrendous customer service. 3.- over priced 4.- lines are too long just to get donuts. Reminds me of Krispy Kreme of over a decade ago. It's a fad for the sheep.

    Until recently, Denver has been a doughnut wasteland. I, and other folks who came here from other, more doughnut-friendly places, was shocked to find that in Colorado, doughnuts are a breakfast only food. This was reinforced by the fact that if you wanted a doughnut after 2pm, you had to get a stale grocery store doughnut. Over time, more doughnut shops have moved into town, and based on the lines I've seen as they've opened up, it seems like the days of the old doughnut dessert denying regime are numbered. I was obviously not the only one dying for day-round doughnuts. Nowhere is this insatiable demand for fried dough more obvious than on the sidewalk outside of Voodoo Doughnut, which most hours of the day snakes its way east on Colfax for half a block. This line has worked double duty, simultaneously intriguing and enraging potential customers, for a couple of months now with no signs of slowing down. We recently decided to try at about 7:30am on Sunday morning and the line reached just to the door. From the door to the counter took probably 20 minutes, which seemed an acceptable amount of time to wait. As you wind your way through the store, you pass display cases that house sample doughnuts so you can make your mind up about what you want when you get up there. This is good, because the digital menus are a complete waste of space, absolutely unreadably small. Look at the website before you go to get a sense of what's offered. Also, they're cash only, and they have one ATM that appears to run on a dial up modem, so don't rely on that. Being cash only seems pretty silly in a day and age where I can plug something into my phone and accept credit cards, but I don't have a huge problem with it. When we were there, all four registers were operating and humming right along. The wait was definitely caused by customers who get to the counter and have no clue what to order. I'm sure this is exacerbated by the tiny stupid menus, but placing the entire blame for the line on Voodoo is unfair based on what we saw. Service was excited and super friendly. It doesn't seem like the most efficient system in the world, as the server has to keep coming back to the monitor to check to see what you ordered as they fill up the box (can't print out a ticket, huh?), but we saw neither dillying nor dallying on the part of the staff. And finally, the doughnuts themselves are heavenly and creative. You can get your sprinkles doughnuts and chocolate frosted if you want, but there are lots of outside the box options topped with cereal, cookies, filled, and our favorite, shaped and decorated like voodoo dolls and filled with jelly blood. They taste great, but you'll want to eat them shortly after purchase because the cereal toppings become stale very quickly. Were they worth the wait? Yes. Would they have been worth a wait twice or three times as long? Probably not. But it felt like an experience. Not one I want to have again right away, but the next time my doughnut cravings start, I'll get my ass out of bed early and come do it again.

    I personally don't understand what all the hype is about. I tasted the Voodoo doll, ODB, Portland, and No name. I think as I've gotten older my taste for sweets have declined. I enjoy more the flavorful medium sweetness over the holy shit that was sweet type of deserts. I thought the concept was great. I enjoyed the ambiance and looking at the cock and balls wondering if I could take it. HAH. Didn't get it tho. I'm not a big fan of bavaria cream. As for their raspberry filling - nothing special. I've tasted it before. Although yes the doughnut itself was delicious, I am not entirely impressed. No Name would be the best of the four I tasted. I'd recommend it. It has Rice Krispey treats topped with peanut butter. It was good.

  • Lindy L.

    Short version: Unique toppings, names, and shapes for otherwise standard doughnuts. Long version: I love sweets and am admittedly picky about them, meaning that although I won't turn a doughnut down, it takes a pretty special doughnut for me to be a fan. During my one and only very fast trip to Portland, I saw the blocks-long line for Voodoo. Maybe those lines set my expectations too high; I'd like to think not, but it's possible. Part of me thinks that the lines have the opposite effect on some people; again, I'd like to think not, but it's possible. Another part of me also thinks that it's possible that the altitude has altered the taste of the doughnuts and that the doughnuts are better in Portland and Eugene, which would explain the long lines, but most others seem to love Voodoo Denver, so that's probably not it either. I was pretty happy to find no line for Voodoo Denver one fairly early Sunday morning, 8:30ish. I was surprised to see no seating area and a difficult-to-read sign with no descriptions of the doughnuts. The inadequate signage means that the employees will have to repeatedly explain the doughnuts to customers, which is inefficient and will unnecessarily make lines even longer. Fortunately, the employee we talked with was very friendly and happy to talk with us about the different doughnuts. My boyfriend and I tried the ODB, TCP, maple bacon, and apple fritter. We both liked the ODB best, although the downside to that doughnut is that it borders on too sweet, with chocolate frosting, crushed Oreos, and peanut butter drizzle. The apple fritter had very few apples chunks in it; I didn't finish my half of it. The maple bacon had a generous amount of bacon on it, but cold bacon isn't particularly appealing; I didn't finish my half of this one either. The TCP is a chocolate cake doughnut, with chocolate frosting, topped with Coco Puffs; I polished off my half of this one. Toppings like Coco Puffs, Oreos, Fruit Loops and Captain Crunch seem like toppings that would appeal most to kids, but many of the doughnut names are not kid friendly. I don't really understand the long lines for these toppings, unique doughnut names and shapes aside, which makes me feel kind of curmudgeonly, but I'm mostly okay with that. I won't turn these doughnuts down, but won't be seeking them out either, which means more doughnuts for everyone else. *Cash only. *Official opening day January 15. Until then, open daily at 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. until they sell out.

    It's a donut place. As much as they try to stand out, that pretty much sums it up. The donuts are good, better than you'll find at a supermarket, but there's nothing legendary about them. This is one of those places where you go more for the attitude than for the food, but they really don't deliver much on that front, either. Some of the donuts have risque appearances and names, I guess. If you happen to be in the area when the line is short (it's often out the door for some indiscernible reason), and you have cash in your pocket (the only form of payment they accept), then it might be with stopping by. I wouldn't go out of my way, though.

    Voodoo Doughnut is such a terrific addition to Denver. Being newcomers here, it's fun to have a new hot spot in town that demands attention and patience to wait in a long line... With the blaring issues already having been stated and out of the way (hard to read menus, cash only, long lines), this place rocks. To me, it is a novelty shop. You don't come here everyday for your morning coffee and doughnut. This is the kind of place I want to stop by on a Wednesday afternoon to bring home a surprise for my fiance or the spot where I am no doubt going to take any friends/family visiting from out of town. I consider these businesses novelties and not just a destination, but rather an experience. Have only visited once and just had $4 cash on me. After waiting about 15 minutes or so I was helped by a very friendly young man. I opted for the ODB and Miami Vice doughnuts, total came to $3.85. Hours later when the time was finally right, we poured a big mug of milk, cut the doughnuts into smaller pieces and had at it on the couch. SO GOOD. I have not stopped thinking about either of the delicious morsels from heaven for even a day. We must go back, this time with her so she can get in on the whole experience. So excited to have VD in town :)

  • Krishna P.

    This place is worth the hype to try once or twice, but I wouldn't stand in line on most days for this. I really like the donuts, but they aren't just out of this world like I thought they would be. I was waiting in line with my husband and saw a guy punch another guy in the face because they got into an argument. Too much drama for pastries. I was glad to get out of there. In short, good but not great, exciting but not irreplaceable.

  • Inayah V.

    A doughnut connoisseur I'm not, but I am an admitted Food Network and Travel Channel junkie! So after seeing Voodoo featured a few times over the last few years, of course I had to try it when they opened in Denver! I hate to say it, but I feel like Voodoo doesn't quite live up to the hype. After waiting for over an hour, I didn't have the time or energy to select each doughnut and just went with the Voodoo dozen. Of those, I only tried the Cap'n Crunch doughnut. It was really good, but I was expecting better. Maybe my expectations were inflated, maybe my doughnut palate has been depleted after years of non-use, but next time I'm in need of a sugar fix in that part of town, I'll hold out for a Denver Biscuit cinnamon roll.

  • Skeeba G.

    I live right by Voodoo and am always baffled when there are lines going out the door and around the block. I just don't get the hype! The doughnuts are overly sweet, the icing is overly sweet, and then they add super sugary toppings on top of all of that? It's a sugar overload and just ends up tasting gross. And this is coming from someone who loves sugary desserts! I did like their Mexican Chocolate doughnut, but not surprisingly it's probably because it's a plain cake doughnut not overloaded with 2+ layers of super sugary toppings. The store might be considered "wheelchair accessible" meaning there's no step up into the store, but calling it accessible is laughable considering how narrow and winding the line is. One time I brought in a friend in a wheelchair and we were the only people in the store. We were visibly struggling to get in the store and through the line, and the people behind the counter just watched. Uh, thanks, guys. It being cash only doesn't help either. I never carry cash, so to say having had to get cash out to buy unpalatable doughnuts was annoying and a waste would have been an understatement.

    Now that I have actually visited this location I felt like I needed to update my review. The location is perfect. Right off Colfax with metered parking, and side street parking as well. It is a cash only place, but they have an ATM in side just in case. Some nights there will be a line, and other times you will walk right in and order. It is all just pure luck if there isn't a line. As for the doughnuts, one of my favorites is still the Old Dirty Bastard with crumbled Oreos and drizzled peanut butter on top. I also really enjoyed the Memphis Mafia doughnut (it is actually a Fritter). The Fritter was a bit greasy, and good to share with another person, but it was delicious. As a side note- and a tip for wedding planners. I was at a wedding this past weekend where Voodoo Doughnuts was the dessert. Best wedding dessert ever. It is recognizable to the guests, and VERY tasty. And everyone got to choose their doughnut of choice from the large selection they had available. Great idea, and memorable.

    Fun fun place I'm on a quest to try them all. I know they are bad for you but live a lite and enjoy. Not in the most attractive are if Denver but still pretty safe. Brings.

    Service is snappy when there are long lines, so don't be afraid to wait. They are friendly and helpful, which is necessary to navigate such a long, coded menu of amazing options. I'm not sure how anyone could give this less than five stars; it is way better than Lamar's, Krispy Kreme, Top Pot, or any other place that I've ever been to. Obviously the best doughnuts-donuts in Denver.

  • Michael P.

    Finally made it in after turning away several times due to long lines and bad weather. We picked up a dozen to share with friends and just about every one was amazing. The maple bacon bar is a great combo of sweet an savory, albeit a little heavy (have a glass of milk handy). The Portland cream was one of my favs and I actually hate cream filled doughnuts in general. The cereal style doughnuts are quite good as well, many places make them too sweet but I thought they were well balanced. Only a few negatives. Parking is a nightmare and they only take cash (there is an ATM on site). The waits can be ridiculous, especially during this honeymoon period, and I certainly wouldn't wait an hour or more. But if you can get in quickly it's one of the best doughnut places in Denver and definitely worth a visit.

    Waited in line for 10 minutes and ordered 12 donuts...for just hubby and me. We got 4 maple bacon bars and they were AMAZING. The bacon was crispy and the overall doughnut was the right amount of sweet and salty. We also ordered the blueberry cam doughnut which was also delicious. It had a creme glaze that was amazing. The other doughnuts were yummy but nothing special. The prices were wonderful too! P.S. We ordered 2 sodas and they do NOT have regular soda flavors.

    We stopped in to Voodoo Doughnuts coincidentally on National Doughnut Day! The line was out the door, which seems to be the norm. We had looked on their website before we went so we would know which doughnut to get. The selection can be overwhelming if you're not sure what you want. I got the Memphis Mafia which is a banana fritter topped with peanut butter. The fritter was good, but I could barely taste the banana. Overall, a great spot for a unique doughnut experience.

    I have eaten at the original Voodoo Doughnut in Portland. Denver's Voodoo Doughnuts needs more efficient and friendly staff. Some staff was friendly others were just trying to make you mad at how slowly they worked. Are they purposely trying to create the lines and generate hype. They are losing major business and reputation. What a shame. Portland Voodoo 4.5 stars

  • Christi O.

    I actually didn't have to wait in line for my voodoo doughnut, ha ha! Sorry to all those poor customers who had to wait in the long lines. So, I can understand a staff that's snotty when the place is packed and they're running around because they're busy...that'll make a lot of minimum wage workers unhappy, I get it. And granted this is probably not your dream to work the counter at a doughnut shop, but come on! Be a little less snotty! I understand, this is probably not your dream job, but that's not the customer's fault. Plus, when I went, it wasn't busy, ha ha. Ok, so to continue, I purchased the mixed dozen of their choice, just to try a little mix of everything. Yes, I ate them right then and there as soon as I bought them, ha ha. The McMinnville Cream doughnut stood out as my favorite. Cream filled yeast with maple frosting. Definitely my favorite. The M&M's cake doughnut was another simple, but delicious combo. Sadly, the yeast doughnuts weren't quite as fresh tasting. I know I went at 12:30 am, but for as much as these doughnuts cost, you'd think they'd be a little more amazing. I think Lamar's Donuts are actually better in my opinion. If you want a place that has *unique* doughnuts, then Voodoo is great. And they're open 24 hours so if you get that hankerin' for a fried, sugary treat with a hole, awesome. Overall, it's good, just not as amazing as all the hype, but probably worth going if you happen to be in the neighborhood.

    The Bavarian crème filled donuts are good--well the Bavarian cream makes them good. I recommend going to their website before going---it has names and descriptions of all the donuts. I was not impressed with the fritter that has peanut butter, banana, etc---I think it's an Elvis thing if I remember right---the tastes were too enmeshed and you couldn't even taste the banana. Last time I was there I looked into the donut case and there was the cock and balls --it was WAY bigger than the picture on the website. I thought about all that Bavarian cream inside. I had already picked out enough donuts , so the cock and balls will have to wait for next time.

    FUCKING TERRIBLE! Some guy tried to tow your car in the back parking lot! Literally got out of my car parked in back of voodoo donuts not seeing a sign at all. Walked to the front of the building. Turned around and headed back to the car. When we approached our car a tow truck practically ran us over. He told us it was against the law to take our car cause we had broken the law for parking there. We were so taken back that we almost watched this a hole take our car. We jumped in our car a drive away. It's such a scam.

    While driving by Voodoo doughnuts, I saw that the line was not outside the door and wrapped around the block, so I cut across 2 lanes of traffic to see what I was missing. Ordered a "Maple Bacon Bar" and an "Ol Dirty Bastard" hoped back in my car and headed towards the gym while I devoured the raised doughnuts with a side of love handles, But I didn't stop with just eating one. I was the ridiculous man standing outside my gym door finishing stuffing my face before going in to work off that double chin. It was worth every bite and I will be going back to explore other areas that this yeasty treat can clog on in the vessels of my doughnut loving heart. a side of LIPITOR ®

    I stopped in just before 6:00AM on a Monday and there was no line. Sweet! I ordered a simple mixed dozen and took out a $20 to pay my $10.75 doughnut bill. The cashier shoved some change into my hand and announced: "Your change is $9.25." Then she quickly walked to the back, out of sight. Well the number sounded correct to me, but by the time I looked down and realized I was a $5 bill short and looked up again, she was gone. Luckily another worker was still standing there and saw that I didn't pocket the $5 before I protested that I was short. Worker number two called back worker number one and corrected the error. Now once upon a time (not so long ago) there were few debit cards and people had to pay their bills with either cash or a check. In this (not so) ancient time, cashiers were required to count back change. In those days the cashier would have taken my $20 bill and counted back the change to me -- starting with the billed amount and counting back up to 20: $10.75, $11, $12, $13, $14, $15, $20. Had this new breed of cashier known this (not so) ancient ritual, this awkward situation could have been avoided. But with the advent of the debit card, cashiers have lost the skill to properly count back change. But even in these modern times, if a business insists on refusing debit cards and accepting only cash, the business should instill this ancient skill back into its workforce. The customers would appreciate it. Oh yeah, and the donuts are ok -- kind of over rated. They're just donuts, after all.

    I don't get the lines, quite honestly. I went there with my parents while they were visiting, and none of us were thrilled. The doughnuts were fine, but not great. The two we got with cream filling had huge sections with no filling, and the one I had with rice krispies on top seemed to have stale cereal. Add to that the long unrestrained facial hair on the guys serving us (I have no problem with beards, but I don't want to wonder if I'm going to eat it), and I doubt I'll return.

    A lot of hype and a long line. Fun and unique toppings, for sure, but the donuts were just alright. For the price and the wait I would expect more. Their fillings are not at all evenly dispensed within the donut. Both the toppings and the fillings are overly sweet - and I like sweet! If you are drunk and downtown this is an awesome destination; if you are looking for a great treat, head somewhere else.

    totally worth it in my opinion. waiting in line late at night is part of the experience. it is that place for me when i am on colfax on the other-side of the road and i do not see a line, i u-turn right quick and pick some up randomly. my apologies for cutting you off. have tried almost everything by this point besides the one with fruit loops. i hate fruit loops.

    I have to agree with a lot of the other reviews on here, I don't really see what the big deal about these donuts is. We got donuts from here only once so I should give it a second try. However, the ones I did try were greasy and left a film in my mouth. Not to mention they were super super sweet. More so than a normal donut outta be. I am going to give them 2 stars due to their creativity and wide variety of donut flavors. But as far as the actual taste, "meh, I've had better." We got Peanut butter banana and an iced tea and lemonade flavored one. They were interesting to say the least, but unique, and for that I've got to give it to them. I'm more of just a plain glazed or sprinkle donut lady. So the fact that they didn't have any regular flavors when we went was a disappointment. Who knows. This place always has a line outside when I drive by, but Krispy Cream used to as well.

    Loved the doughnuts... especially the Raspberry filled one. YUM. Disliked the line. Get in early! Cash Only.

    Well, we did it. The wifey and I walked to VooDoo the other day to taste the hype. I must apologize to some fellow Yelpers who painted a clear picture of this place. We read the negative reviews but had to experience it for ourselves. As many other Yelpers before us, I am merely restating what has already been said. Long line, can't read the menu, apathetic/hipster (are these words synonymous?) employees, overpriced, etc., etc. Will not be revisiting this place.

  • Samantha P.

    Went because of all the hype. Line out the door, no matter what time of the day. If you go late, donuts aren't fresh and there is no selection. CASH ONLY, which is absurd. You can't pick what donuts you'd like. You either get the expensive dozen, which is all their "specialty donuts" or you can get the regular dozen (which is still $16) and you can't pick which donuts you'd like. You heard me right. They pick for you. I was in complete shock when I ordered, excuse me, didn't order, because you can't order. All I wanted was a maple bacon bar, and they let me order one, but it had to be on the side of the already dozen of donuts that I ordered. They're good donuts, except they're covered in so much stuff you can barely eat one donut. Oh, and the place is filthy. The floors are sinking and there's huge puddles everywhere. Not worth it, in my opinion.

  • Carlie R.

    Absolutely amazing donuts!! Yes, there was a line out the door but the line moved fairly quickly, even for a Saturday evening. The donuts were reasonably priced. Most of donuts ranged between $1 to $1.50 with an exception of the larger specialty donuts. I can see where the cash only policy would be an inconvenience but the overall experience compensates for this slight inconvenience. The staff was friendly and answered any questions we had. Voodoo will definitely become a staple in my future trips to Denver.

    At the end of the day, it's flour and sugar in funny shapes and with funny names. So, anyone that knows me knows I love sweets. Especially donuts. So to be nice to my office, I decided to swing by one day (trust me, I avoided the hipster crowd.....hell no am I waiting an hour or more for this). I don't understand the hype. Creative, absolutely. Things that are screwed up, absolutely. Are they bad donuts, no.....but if I closed my eyes...they taste very similar (except maybe the bacon one). In any event, I got about 10 donuts...price tag - $15. That's a lot for donuts. I got the bacon one cause I was curious, a couple others with sprinkle and toppings...but really? I got a donut with oreos and another with butterfinger crunch stuff........go buy a butterfinger and a chocolate donut somewhere else - and you won't know the difference. Another donut was some Mexican Diablo or something...you'd like, "spicy" right? I asked the girl about it...she's like "It's a chocolate donut with vanilla drizzle...and some red sprinkles." Okay - so here's my hit list: 1) Cash only. Seriously - I had the cash - but the machines they run are able to run credit cards - they just don't have it setup - why?? You don't want to pay the fees? You would have to mark up the donuts more than they already are? 2) Wait. I've driven by plenty of times. Don't wait an hour for these. 3) Menu. Again, like people have mentioned....it's teeny tiny. I had glasses on and I still could barely see it. I think this adds to the hype....people can't see, and therefore can't decide until they get up to the counter....thus creating a lengthy process making these seem more desirable. Anyway - I visited Portland last summer and didn't get to try them there - and was looking forward to them here....sadly, I was disappointed.

    To much hype about this place I mean the doughnuts are good but the line ? I dont know. Last time i paid for some doughnuts didn't get it. My 2 favorites are maple bacon and dirty old basard. I also like how they open alot of hours..

  • Erin M.

    Here is why I am giving Voodoo a 5. Their doughnuts are fresh, people. Yes. I know they are at Krispy Kreme as well, but I'm not about to drive down to Highlands Ranch for a good donut. I also appreciate the variety of flavors, the fact that VD carries vegan treats, and the pink boxes, vulgar sayings and all. The lines are long, but if you time it right, you can get in an out under 20 minutes, and the people watching while in line is exquisite. Extra love for friendly customer service (The cashier was personable and not even a little annoyed by our many questions). As others have mentioned, you'll want to bring cash as it sounds like the ATM is frequently belly up.

  • Diane N.

    The donuts are 3-stars, based on taste. Fun and tasty; not melt-in-your-mouth amazing. Great, now that's out of the way. 4-stars for the concept of the place. It's fun, hip, and creative. I appreciate places like this popping up in Denver and helping to pull out the kitschy personality that the city has had shelled up for so long. Service is also friendly. This place is CASH ONLY. That's weird for Denver. Not weird for places like San Francisco or Portland, so learn to deal. Also, here's a note to all those Mile High baby hipsters buying donuts- lose the damn attitude.

  • Matthew O.

    I wish Voodoo never came to Denver. I've been to the one in Portland multiple times and loved it! I even have a pink box from them in my kitchen, but the Denver has honestly completely ruined it for me. Do employees or volunteers work here??? The first time I went was about a month ago with friends from out of town. The line was long, but I figured an hour was long enough to buy something that is pre-made... nope. We ended up having to leave after waiting for 45-50 minutes to catch their flight. The second time I went in was around 7:40AM. There were 6 people in front of me, you know: 1-2-3-4-5-6, and at least 5 employees. I stood there for 11 minutes watching one girl clean their turn style display, another fold boxes and a third leave the store and come back with a handful of Redbulls. When I left for an 8am meeting, there were 3 people in front of me. I can understand if they're trying to push this free spirit "we don't credit cards" and "screw the system," but they're really starting to ruin their image because I have no desire to ever return. From what I remember in Portland, the donuts are good, but it's just not worth waiting when there is no reason to wait. Side note: If you wait in line long enough, you tend to make friends. The 20 year old secretary behind me was trying to buy 84 donuts for a client meeting that morning and had to leave because it took too long as well. Keep it up Voodoo, you're totally looking like trendy cool guys now. Try LaMar's donuts.

  • Cam V.

    There's so much hype surrounding this donut place so I thought I'd give it a try. Went during the evening to avoid long lines. Line wasn't too long. They had three people working the counter so the line moved pretty fast. So don't be discouraged by the long line! Since it was my first time there, we asked the lady to help us out. Sky was her name, very sweet girl. She recommended the Voodoo Combo. Half yeast and half classic. It's worker's choice but she picked some really good donuts! Only downside is that parking is a b$*#h to find but hey that's downtown for ya.

    (4)

  • Logan N.

    It is all the hype everyone makes it out to be! The best time to go to skip the line is between 11pm-3am, basically when the rest of the city is in the bar. Also, the doughnuts are actually fairly priced. For about 8 specialty doughnuts it was about $15. Worth it!!!!! All of the negative Nancy's on here are being the A-Typical judgement foodies Denver has to offer.

  • Cody S.

    Okay I never thought I would review a donut place but holy cow these are hand crafted by Jesus! Get the bubble gum and the sparkle one! They always have a line. Worth the wait! Go now the are 24 hours! Also only cash

    (5)

  • Tolis V.

    I ll have to disagree with many fellow reviewers here! What is so unique about the place you ask? For a business that bakes and sells doughnuts in a crazy volume as Voodoo does, they must be doing something right! And they really do. They grabbed the concept of baking a doughnut and took it to the next level. You have a plethora of creatively, freshly made doughnuts, with unique marketing, and very friendly staff. Add 24hr operation, and there you have it. I will visit this place again and again...

  • Alex R.

    Okay, let's get the standard complaints out of the way. The line. Yes, it's long. Yes, it seems kind of arbitrary. Yes, it's insane to wait in line for doughnuts. But that's kind of the fun. Talk with your friends, stop at the bar next door, be in the moment. It's part of the experience, and I don't think it's going away anytime soon. The service. The workers don't really have any sense of urgency. They see that line, and know it's never ending, so why speed up? Okay. I wish she would have explained a little more to me, because I got my half a dozen in a white bag, not a pretty pink box, and I don't know why. The not so standard complaints: The lack of credit cards accepted. I'm sorry, but really? This one I wasn't expecting. And it's not widely advertised until you get almost to the front of the line and see the ATM. Nice that they have a sign to explain that the ATM is super slow, but still. It should be loud and clear on the outside of their store, not in tiny print at their registers. And by the way, why be cash only? That seems so beyond silly to me. Menu signs. Impossible to read. I was squinting and could only make out half the words. And come on. If you use digital signs, you can't update them as you run out of things? Two of the types I wanted were out, forcing me to take longer at the counter to decide on my two substitutions. If you want faster lines, work on efficiency with your menu. Now for the positives! Concept is by far amazing, I love it. Well made doughnuts, good size for the price. I got an assortment of 6, and paid $10! That's not bad. Way better than your average grocery store doughnut in taste and a pretty good value overall. While there wasn't a sense of urgency, the employees were still pretty friendly. I got the butterfinger, the loop, the captain crunch, a maple bar, coco puffs, and the custard filled one. All pretty amazing, I by far and away absolutely LOVED the coco puff one. Seriously. Awesome. So, overall, go at least once. Go with a friend, gab while you're in line, and try a variety. It's an experience you should try, but not one that you have to have once a week. Be prepared for a giant sugar rush, and enjoy!

    While the donuts were great; their are plenty of other factors that play into the voodoo experience; service, time in line, price, etc... The price was great- 14$ for a dozen donuts, but the cashier was not friendly-red haired girl and we stood in line for roughly 25 minutes to order. Great location. Great variety.

    Dirty Snowballs, Cock n Balls, And The Old Dirty Bastard. With names like these how can you not be at least a little curious what they might taste like! :D Finally, Voodoo Doughnuts has started to open their doors! Still a soft opening until January their hours will be sporadic, so check their Facebook to see when they will be opening for the day. Once Voodoo has their grand opening you can look forward to 24 hours worth of the most decadent doughnuts! Is it crazy that one of the reasons I moved to Denver was because of Voodoo Doughnuts?? It's true! Lol! My BF saw they were opening at 5pm on his day off. We made sure to get there early to secure our spot. We heard through the grape vine that the day before many people left without tasting their "Cock n Balls" and were really sad! Lol! We were determined not to have the same unhappy ending. Only happy endings here please ;) We got there an hour before they were set to open and got a prime spot! Sixth in line!!!!!! Those treats were going to be ours! ***Here are some highs and lows*** *Highs -Fun, attractive store front! -Those doughnuts are worth the trip :) -Most employees are friendly ex. Guy who opens doors with a celebration of streamers! That's what I expect coming here, kooky fun people. *Lows -They opened about twenty minutes after they were supposed to open. I almost got frost bite on my toes! -The young cashier was a little rude. He wouldn't change out a doughnut after we decided we didn't want it. All he said was "you asked for it". I know it was busy, but really??? I did enjoy my treats entirely despite our semi bad experience service wise. The doughnuts were what saved this trip! I was surprised my BF didn't freak out at the guy for what was said but I think even my man couldn't wait to get them home that he let it slide. However, this is supposed to be a fun place. They should have fun positive people to service their new excited clientele. We will see next time! Until then I am a fan!

  • Michael V.

    The doughnuts are slightly above Kings Supper supermarket donuts, but the bitterness behind the counter tends to piss me off EVERY TIME I go through the hassle, (parking, paying to park, waiting in line, making sure I have cash), just to patronize this exploiter of fried delisciousness. Its amazing how the delightful wait staff treats each customer like a needy, destitute vagrant at a four star soup kitchen. Verdict: doughnuts - good, want-to-be hipster-but-should-remember-they-still-just-work-­at-a-donut-counter wait staff - rude and ungrateful. They should remember it's the product that's popular; not you.

  • Man Alive ..

    Despite my protests after the long line I endured on my last visit, the wife insisted we grab some donuts on our way home last Friday. I am thrilled to report that this awesome little doughnut shop is pulling their act together, and the wait was not an issue at all. Good job, hipsters!

  • Susan H.

    First time trying the place and really excited! That died a expensive and painful death. Basically five spots in front for the whole block of stores not just them. No support for parking else where. We parked in a closed business car shop on Sunday with other cars parking lot. We were gone less than 20 minutes! Walked back and car gone! Tow cost $281.00 cash or had to walk to tow company for credit card. Yes we got a receipt! Four donuts were not that remarkable unfortunately. They need to move to better location. Nope we will not be back or supportive. I would have selected a no star if I could have.

    I've wanted to try VooDoo donuts ever since they opened a store in Denver. My first experience with them was trying the VooDoo Maple Bacon Doughnut Beer. In retrospect, this beer could have been my first red flag that the donuts were overrated, but I digress. The line at VooDoo is frequently out the door and down the block at any given time of day, so we waltzed down the street early on a Sunday morning to finally get a taste of these nationally acclaimed donuts. The menu is split by types of donuts - raised yeast, cake-like and classic. Other than these basic identifiers, I found it extremely difficult to figure out what the heck flavor of doughnut they offered (i.e., the names of the doughnuts often did not depict the flavor or type and there were no visible descriptions on the menu). Given the short line that early on a Sunday, we asked the cashier to give us the three most popular doughnuts since we were having a hard time making an informed decision. We walked the doughnuts home with great anticipation... and were ultimately disappointed. I couldn't even tell you what all we had - one was shaped like a ghost and was jelly filled, one was called Dirty Old Man that had chocolate icing topped with oreos and peanut butter, and the other was maple bacon. All three were overly sugary and just way too over the top. I liked the jelly-filled ghost one best but was unable to finish it because it was just too sweet. I'm glad I tried them, but I won't be going back. Truth be told, I can't say I'm surprised they were not as good as all the hype makes them out to be.

  • Stephen M.

    We've been here a couple of times and overall I've been happy enough with the decision. The lines are pretty ridiculous and it really doesn't have anything to do w/ an excess amount of demand. It has more to do with the most elementary service delivery you'll ever see. I'm pretty sure VooDoo intentionally delivers their painfully slow service so that there's always a line out the door but I wouldn't recommend it unless you really think picking up a dozen donuts is going to better your life. I'm a huge fan of coconut and I will say the vanilla coconut is delicious. The butterfinger one is great as well. Also, we did get the Cock and Balls donut for our friend because we're mature and thought it would be funny. It ended up being very funny and I do recommend getting that for any friend of yours that might get a little embarrassed by that type of donut.

  • Aldo P.

    I had heard of Voodoo doughnuts from several friends and coworkers, so I finally had to go and see what all the hype wall all about. After waiting in line for a while, I really was impressed by the variety of doughnuts that they had and the theme was pretty cool. Once I actually got to try the doughnuts, I would say that they were good, but did not stand out from other doughnuts that I've had at other places. I would have given it a 3.5 out of 5, but could only do full stars, so I rounded up to 4 since the experience and theme are different than the average doughnut shop. Also, the doughnuts are pretty pricey, but I guess that is expected when you go to a "hipster" place near downtown. I would definitely go back if I am with a crowd that is going there, but I would not go out of my way to come back.

    (4)

  • Chelsea A.

    Is it worth waiting in an hour line? No. It is a fun place to visit. It has a unique atmosphere. I do not think the donuts are worth the hype. They are pricey. The people working are very nice and fun!

    I have heard about this place since moving to the area. I finally went and was not impressed. It's all hype and no substance. putting a bunch of toppings on a doughnut doesn't make it any better. The selections are nothing more than lipstick on a pig.

    (2)

  • Beth S.

    I've been waiting to go here ever since I moved downtown almost a year ago. I've driven past it but there is usually a line out the door. Today I lucked out and got parking right outside and the line was short. I don't know why people are saying these doughnuts are expensive!! We got a voodoo dozen plus two for about $17.00. If you want a 25¢ cup of coffee and a 10¢ doughnut - get a time machine please. We got these as a token of appreciation for the staff in our building and also two for ourselves. They looked so special and tasted great. It was like having my own little cake for desert. If I lived within walking distance I would probably go here every day. Loved this place and the staff was very friendly. Go if you can :)

  • Mike D.

    7-11 has better donuts and less of a wait. Big whoop if they put bacon on their donuts. I've been doing that for years in my own kitchen.

    (2)

  • M P.

    Meh. The question is, are the donuts THAT much better than what you can get at Safeway, King Soopers, or some other place? The answer is no, not really. The place is worth trying once just for the experience, but that's it. I got the Butterfinger donut and the Oreo Donut. Scarfed the Butterfinger one down (which was actually quite good), but only got halfway through the Oreo one before I felt numb and didn't want to move. So anyway, try it out... you probably won't need to ever go back.

    (2)

  • Bruce F.

    Don't be fooled by my size. I've eaten a lot of donuts in my lifetime. The flavors are new, fun and TASTY!!! These live up to the hype and are worth standing in line for.

    (4)

  • Sean M.

    I'm sure by now everyone has heard of the novelty donuts at Voodoo Donuts. Creative and fun? Sure. But are they any better than the donuts found at Dunkin' Donuts, Lamar's, and even King Soopers? Not really. Then again, I highly doubt the taste is what all the rave's about. If you're hankering for a donut adorned with bacon or Fruit Loops; or for one that is phallic-shaped, then Voodoo is the place. You'll be waiting in line a little while depending on the time of day. But if you're in the mood for a classic donut (not to mention a place that takes credit cards), go for Lamar's.

    (2)

  • Kayla S.

    Quite a vast variety of donuts to choose from! Wonderfully delicious! Though they ONLY accept cash, quite inconvenient. Not sure if it's worth the hours & a half wait for donuts that cost up to $6 each..

    (4)

  • Sara L.

    Yes, I'm a fan for sure. I don't often indulge in such savory sweets but if I'm in the mood, voodoo is definitely a great option. The Maple Bacon Doughnut is by my favorite, but all of their options are exceptional and unique. They're also incredibly inexpensive considering their popularity, its always a lovely surprise to get a few and have it only cost a few dollars!

    (4)

  • Brice S.

    Doughnuts are good...not worth the wait, but no doubt they are tasty. Feels a little bit like you are in a Seinfeld "soup Nazi" episode where you should be grateful for the opportunity to buy an expensive doughnut and deal with hipster customer service. my biggest gripe is the parking...beware...don't park behind the store or you will receive a $100 boot on your car that requires you to haggle with a fishy parking lot attendant and pull out cash to have the boot removed. We had a bad experience on July 3...day before a long holiday weekend where there were plenty of parking spots available. Sure, some might say we should have rad the signs that were posted. But we didn't and were frustrated by the cost of the doughnuts and the extra cost of the boot on our car.

    (3)

  • JD T.

    Sooooo....the line sucks. But whatever. It's a cultural phenomenon. Also.....the coffee sucks....but it's a donut shop. The decor is cool and the menu has a nice smart-ass tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. The Pam Grier velvet painting is odd but not out of place and the pink boxes are fun. I think you would expect all of this from a Portland donut shop on Colfax next to one of the hippest tattoo salons in Denver. I selected an ODB. It has to be one of the best donuts I have ever eaten. Holy crap. Well played. Super soft and just melty sweet raised yeast packed with oreos chocolate and peanut butter glaze. You.....bastards.... The service isn't awful. There was one guy in there with a big burly beard who was KILLING it. He was rapping to the patrons about whatever they brought up and slinging donuts like a smiling beardo RoboCop. I didn't get that guy though. I got the disaffected son of Rivers Cuomo and the Monopoly guy. Screw it. Next time I'm in Denver I will get a maple bacon bar. And even if some twenty something fresh out of SXSW could give a rats ass if I'm happy, I will be happy.

    (3)

  • Amy W.

    Yes, the doughnuts are delicious and there are so many varieties that you almost need the time in line to decide. Luckily we only spent about 15 or so minutes in line because we went around 10 on a Thursday night. BUT I took away two stars because of cash only (REALLY? This is 2014; almost everyone accepts credit cards...EXCEPT Voodoo, apparently), the complete lack of parking that's not at least two blocks away, and the inexplicably tiny, barely readable menus that are mounted near the ceiling. So in other words, phenomenal doughnuts, but A LOT of things could be improved upon.

  • Miss M.

    This is one of those places that you want to go for the fun of it when your on an adventure. The line is always out the door. We waited about 45 minutes. Once you get inside they play hip hop music which is cool for the younger folks and breaks up time. There are so many choices that you literally stare the whole time your in line and when you get to the counter it's still hard to say what you want. We only picked two the crushed Oreo and captain crunch doughnut. They are pretty big and they will pack them in a pretty pink box so you can walk out proud that you have been here! Once we got back in the car we were proud we took the chance. We all took a bite and they were extremely, extremely sweet. A little too much for us but we got home and each took another bite. We all concluded it was really cool to go there, they were too sweet for us, and we probably won't go back. But there are others who can handle it and will love them and that's ok too. I have to say the staff in place at this location rocks. They are serving a huge crowd and have patience with everyone and make them feel like it's ok that your confused. They really get it done there for being open 24 hours a day.

  • Chris S.

    I have been here a few times and while I love the atmosphere, I would have to say that the donuts are just ok. Their cake donuts are better than the raised yeast ones. Those are just too chewy.

    (3)

  • Elizabeth O.

    So I decided to give into the hype and try the VooDoo doughnuts. The toppings were crazy and very different, but were so overpowering I could hardly tell I was eating a doughnut, which might be the point. It wasn't that they were not good, I just think these are not my thing. I grew up with only the "hot now" kind of doughnuts with not many toppings. I do say I really liked the vegan apple fritter, but that isn't really a doughnut, is it?

    (3)

  • Double S.

    Queue up and wait. And wait. Did I tell you about the wait? It is donuts. But wait, you say, "They have toppings on their donuts!!" "They put the bacons on their donuts!!" Ok, fine. So does King Soopers now too! I am not going to pretend that other donut shops are as unique as this. I won't even say they are close to being as cool. But at the end of it all, it is a donut, that you stood 30-60 minutes in line for. Opportunity cost people. That donut really cost you about $30-40 . Stop the madness. 1 star for good donut. 1 star for the look.

    (2)

  • Lea B.

    I don't get the appeal of this place. 1 star for trying to be creative but they're just placing "fancy" toppings on a regular donut. I too can place cereal on a doughnut and bam culinary genius?? I don't think so. And two stars for service and price. The front counter personnel were all friendly and helpful. Their doughnuts aren't ridiculously priced. Because of the long lines and cash only policy this place isn't worth a second stop. Also if you're going to be a cash only establishment at least have a working atm. People seem to like this place so it'll probably be around for awhile.

    (3)

  • Krista R.

    with all the hype of this place I had to visit it myself. bear in mind I only get donuts maybe 1-2 times a year, so it's not a big thing for me. we went around noon on a Sunday; the line was out the door and down the street. left with our pink box at about 1:30pm. seriously a long time to wait for donuts! but it was kinda fun to see all the curious people in their cars.... "what's going on?" "just waiting for donuts" "donuts....?" anyway, it was a semi-fun experience. if the weather had been any colder I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be worth it. the menus inside were super hard to read & I heard others saying the same thing. I had to search out their online menu while in line to actually know what the donuts were. if voodoo added maybe a few seats or benches along the way, a bigger & easier to read menu (or little handout menus at the door to carry along the wait), and maybe some of those portable heaters for outdoor lines in the cold I think it would be a much better experience. but the donuts were pretty tasty! :) no complaints there.

  • Kim B.

    I love this place. They have everything from a plain glazed, Mexican chocolate, a captain crunch bar, etc. Definitely a place to get your munchies on. Bring your friends and an appetite. This is a cash only place, but there is an atm on site.

    This place got some bad reviews and most of those we're bashing the wait time. IT WAS A LONG WAIT BECAUSE THE CUSTOMERS ARE IDIOTS. NOT THE EMPLOYEES. Yes there is going to be a wait when you go, but that's because it's VOODOO DOUGHNUTS!! What do you expect? You could help move the line along if you make up your mind prior to getting to the register. You're going to have at least 5 minutes to figure it out, don't wait until you get to the register and ask what EVERY SINGLE doughnut is in the display case!! LOOK AT THE MENU!! IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!! Anyway, I loved it! The doughnuts were great and the service was just fine. Unfortunately I only remember the name of 1 doughnut I got and it wasn't even my favorite. Still outstanding though. That one was the Old Dirty Bastard. Check the pics.

    I am giving this four stars because of the novelty of the shop. Cute name, cute concept. I had always wanted to try it after seeing it on the telly. The line was reasonable, the menu was confusing, and the service was lackluster. If I remember correctly, it was cash only. The donuts were good, and my kids loved picking them out. They were good but over the top sweet. I really wanted a t- shirt but didn't want to spend all of my cash. Would I go back? Of course! Things to work on? Service (makes or breaks an experience ) and please.... Take credit cards...kind of the wave of the future!

    Amazing! Delicious! Highly recommend the ODB and the Colfax cream! Totally worth the long line. Also, the interior is very snazzy and fun.

    Warning: Cash only!! And parking is a big pain! Donuts are good and fun to pick out. The bacon topped one is delicious! I haven't had the rude employee device which is good and I think that makes all the difference. Rude employees=bad donuts. I've been twice. Stood in line for an hour the first time and about 15 minutes the second time. Will definitely go back if I am in the area.

    The donuts are to sweet.I know that's the point of enjoying it but it's too much sugar!!

    Omg it was decadent. Completely surprised by the maple bacon, the bacon compliments the maple so well. Matt's chocolate filled donut was filled to the brim and Gracies vegan Oreo donut couldn't have any more Oreos if they tried. Flakey, fresh, and fantastic! Get there early we waited about 15 min but after we left the line was out the door.

    The donuts are good but they are always out of the one I want. I guess it's best to go on slow days the demand is just too high for the supply.

    Holey moley!!! Ok, so some friends and I had dinner at hamburger Mary's and stayed for the drag show later in he evening. We closed it down. I guess we were there until about 1? Well anyways. One of the queens pointed out a box of donuts... She was a big girl and she said she doesn't play with her food! So we decided to check it out after, especially since it was my brothers birthday and we were drunk and it was open all NIGHT!! The blueberry donut was fab. Coco puff donut. OMG AMAZEBALLS! Now the fruit loop donut. OMG!!!!! Some of our other friends were even eating one that apparently tasted like bubble gum! Whaaaat?! Check this place out!! It's cray!!

    So glad you are here!To those who complain about the service...you obviously havent been to the one in Portland...there are ALWAYS lines. And I cant blame them for being a little slower knowing they hired a bunch of ppl from Denver to learn the trade of the "Magic in the Hole". I am actually heading there Wed morning to pick up a couple dozen donuts for my Anythink Library posse so they can all get hooked too!!! Maple Bacon and Memphis Mafia are true delicacies!!!

    While I've never had the in-store experience at Voodoo, I have had the pleasure of consuming their doughnuts. They're straight up amazing. I begrudgingly shared the Oreo covered doughnut with my brother and it's simply brilliant. I have yet to try their maple/bacon bar.... The "dessert" doughnuts are very sweet and good for one; but their cake doughnuts are spot on as well. I particularly enjoy the cinnamon doughnut with a cup of coffee.

    After seeing photos of doughnuts my friend bought when they first opened, I was anxious to go and see what all the hype was about. I actually find the smell of doughnuts more appealing than the taste, especially since I can't eat them, but that didn't stop me from going to get my little brother one. I visited on a Thursday night around 8:30. From what I've read from other reviews, there's always a line that's practically out the door or down the block, no matter the time you go. When passing the place in the car with my friend, there were about six people in line but unfortunately, parking is an absolute nightmare, so half an hour later when we finally parked about six blocks away and walked over to the joint, the line was about twenty people long. Having read that service per person normally takes 15 minutes, I was a little hesitant to wait in line, but there were three of the four registers open and the line moved along quickly so that the total wait was 15 minutes. The doughnuts are on display in a revolving place, the music blares overhead, and it's very, very PINK. The menus are small, though, and difficult to read at times so you should know what you want before you get to the line by looking at it at home or pulling up the menu on your smartphone. Also, it's cash only, but there is an ATM inside. My brother wanted the Maple Bacon Bar which was around $3.75 but I downgraded him to an Arnold Palmer which was around $1.95. After he inhaled it, he said that it tasted like the drink turned into sprinkled candy. My friend ordered another Arnold Palmer, a simple glazed one, and the Diablo Rex. He liked both of them, mostly the Diablo because of the rich chocolate. The flavors are definitely unique, though some of them are ones you could make yourself if you put cereal or sprinkles or cookies on store-bought doughnuts. Others like the Cock-n-balls and the Tex-ass are quite unique. If I really, really wanted a doughnut, I would probably just pick one up at the local supermarket, but as I haven't had one in years, I can't say personally how Voodoo tasted. It's a very "hipster"-like place and if the line isn't too long, worth it.

    I'm not even a doughnut connoisseur, but at Voodoo, it's L-O-V-E (and drool) at first bite. You must buy a maple bacon bar and a voodoo doll. I also recommend the C-&-B, Tang, ODB, Marshall Mathers, No Name, Maple Blazer Blunt, Portland/Colfax Creme, and Memphis Mafia. Oh, and the line is TOTALLY worth the wait. Outside of Monday-Friday 9a-5p, I would not put your eggs in one basket for a wait any less than 45 minutes. My only recommendation would be to make the menu inside large enough for the eyes; the print on screen is much too tiny for the naked eye. Y'know, so the drunks in line can make their decisions a little quicker. ;-) (Good thing I can browse the menu from my phone while waiting in line)

    I love that they have a large selection of vegan donuts. I do wish they had gluten free and vegan donuts though......

  • Jaime P.

    Set up SO poorly! Customers have to wait until called to the register to see the donuts and figure out what to order. Takes forever to order, and good luck if your stuck behind a kid that takes 25 min to pick what they want or worse several groups of them. There needs to be some sort of picture menu or display to be looked at while standing in line and would really cut back the time. 35 min wait is not worth it for this.

    Since I've been to the original Voodoo location in downtown Portland, my major concern was whether the donuts would be as good at our new local outpost. Well, they are. Score one for Voodoo! Yes, the lines are ridiculously long, and yes, there was an adjustment period while they fine-tuned the recipes and got everything organized, but they're here to stay now. In case you haven't seen or heard, it's cash only here, so come prepared. The in-store ATM acknowledges that it's slow, so just avoid it and bring cash ahead of time. Parking in the neighborhood isn't good, so you'll have to hope you get lucky. The city will tow you if you park in a nearby business's lot, so don't do that. Anyway, after an hour and fifteen minute wait on a weekend afternoon I ordered a bunch of my favorites, and they had the same texture and consistency as the ones at sea level, so they obviously got it right. Somehow I restrained myself from going here for several weeks in order to give them time to work out the kinks, and I'm glad I did. Everyone's going to have their personal favorites so I won't bother listing them all, but there are about 50 varieties on the menu board (which is very small and needs to be re-worked) so if you can't find several that you like, you're simply in the wrong place. These are actually pretty high-quality donuts; it's not just the shtick that gets people in the door. I hope the lines simmer down once everyone in Denver makes their pilgrimage there, so that us hard-core donut enthusiasts can enjoy what Voodoo has to offer.

    Represent PDX!!!! Finally some Voodoo magic in Denver. This place is so popular in Portland that they sell the boxes in the airport. I had the Portland Cream at this location and it was stellar. Best donut I've had in Denver. Also - just a heads up - plan on about an hour or two to get through the line here. The lines are already close to equalling the terribly long lines that have become part of Portland lore. Every donut is good, so order your favorite and be blown away.

  • Scout V.

    Delicious oreo doughnut, but I had insane stomach cramps for 12 hours after eating it. Place is filled with stoners/drunks (naturally), so waiting in line for 30min at 9pm on a Thursday is a bit of a circus

    Great doughnuts, went there on the first day. Line wasn't too bad, 30mins or so, wanted to try the "Gay Bar" but we're out. Bacon maple bar was excellent, as with the Voodoo doughnuts. Great doughnuts all worth trying!

  • Marcy D.

    Had a perfect donut at the recently opened Voodoo Donuts on East Colfax - the chocolate covered glaze. The donut was at least 3" high, dense yet light, deep fried to a golden hue and then covered with a generous amount of delicious dark chocolate-flavored icing. And then there was the bacon maple log...ahhh. But you should see for yourself, despite the long lines. Now, if I can just stop ruminating on going back every day to Voodoo donuts!

  • Jerman L.

    Can't argue that these are some awesome tasting doughnuts HOWEVER, the wait is definitely not worth it if your employees are going to be that slow to provide service then either open more registers or get employees who understand the concept of customer service. An even bigger problem is the "CASH ONLY" policy. Seriously? What century are you guys living in? I can not even remember the last time that used cash to pay for anything.

  • Mike H.

    This Place is Great.....had Lamar's and Winchell's they are not This. They cater to the Gluten free crowd,Everyone that works here has Personality....the Doughnuts taste Awesome. Come to Voodoo Doughnuts Mile High for a bite, but don't expect to get some fast food, its worth a little wait. P.S. Top faves ODB, Baple Macon...joke and The Voodoo Doll There are some people who are obviously not Real Foodies, because Great things come to those who wait. All Great places have lines. And for those who are afraid of getting robbed speaking on the location....just keep to yourself and you'll be fine. :P

  • Josh B.

    I guess I'm not a donut guy, but waiting nearly an hour in the freezing cold in a disgusting neighborhood with drug addicts, hipsters, and skateboard punks isn't my idea of fun. The staff was awesome, but the donuts are...donuts. I don't see any sign of superiority over Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme, or Lamars. I got an assortment, and they were all sickeningly sweet, except for the Mexican Hot Chocolate. Mango, Rasberry, whatever flavor I was supposed to taste, all I got was sugar. Been there, done that, gave them my money. I won't be back.

    We went to try out Voodoo Donuts at 7am this Wednesday morning. The line was to the door, literally a 40 min wait, totally unnecessary as they had three cash registers but only 1 and half open. They had one cash register open and some of the time they had someone training on the other till, when we got there we placed our order and then "S**t my screens gone blank", so we had to order again. The donuts were ok. I have a sweet tooth, but the Voodoo doll was vomit inducingly sweet, the rest were meh - could get the same from Dunkin Donuts. The one exception was the maple bacon which was maybe worth a 10 min wait! This place is all hype and pink boxes and no substance

  • Michelle H.

    Love this place. The donuts are amazing and worth the wait. It does not matter what time of day you are there you are probably going to wait so be prepared. My absolute favorite is the Memphis Mafia. Only reason I gave 4 and not 5 is because I don't normally carry cash so it's kind of a pain since they don't take cards. Yes there is an ATM inside but I don't want to pay the fee to pull money out of it.

    (4)

  • Michael D.

    First off the place is pricey as far as doughnuts go it should be $$$$$ and cash only. I had the bacon maple bar and it was amazing. Salty and sweet right up my alley :) there was a bit of a debate between me and my friend as to if it was priced just above the "I would do it again" threshold. He said he would not I said I would. Place lived up to my expectations seeing this establishment featured on one of those food network shows ( I can't remember which one but I'm sure some one can find it on YouTube YouTube has everything lol). The menu sucks you can't see it if there's a line, I wish they would increase the text size, have a hand out menu available at the door or post another menu that is visible in the line.

    Made it to Voodoo for my pink box this morning. I figured that the line would not be too long if I arrived right after my spin class. Arrived at 7:00 am and there were only about 20 people in line BUT only 1 cashier. After a few minutes another guy jumped in and I thought ok we should start moving now. Nope! It took me exactly 50 minutes to get a dozen donuts. Pros: the donuts are good. I would say (my opinion) not the best in town but good. Walton's still has the best glazed and Lamar's buttermilk bar is indeed better (just my opinon). I hope the Voodoo fans don't hunt me down and kill me. Atmosphere is fun. Pink box is cute. Cons: Oh boy In my opinion the lines are slow and long because the process is inefficient. The menu is way too small and there are absolutly no prices posted. When most people get to the counter the staff has to explain everything over and over. The line would move much faster if they make the menu larger so customers know what to choose. I paid $12.15 for the Voodoo dozen. This was confusing, my cashier started naming off what was in my box. Wait I want to pick my own. That threw him off and took some time for us to work throught. Delays, delays. Even after picking my own it was still $12.15. I don't understand that at all. Parking: only street. Since I was there so early I parked in a lot behind them thinking office hours didn't start until 8am. No big deal right? Wrong. When I got back to my car there was a tow truck with a car hitched up. So glad my pink box didn't cost me $150. I was next! Warning: only park on the street because the other business are not to happy with the commotion. They are also Cash only. They do have a ATM however it was not working this morning. Out of service. I will be back but it will only be very early or very late. Enjoy the donuts :)

    This place is the bombbbbb and they aren't even officially opened yet! Went in last night around 9 and waited in line around 50 minutes, which is fine, I knew I was gonna wait to begin with. 9 donuts for 22$ and they were all amazing, especially the no name donut and mango one! Will def be back again!

  • Leslie H.

    Cool place, albeit with long lines. I waited 25 minutes on a Monday night. The doughnuts were great, I'm not sure they get better than this. In my opinion, the key to a good doughnut is that it's fresh, and they have that aspect down. That said, in a blind taste test, I'm not sure I could taste the difference between Voodoo Doughnuts and Dunkin Doughnuts...and Dunkin is much faster and they even have a drive through. So I'll probably be back to Voodoo, but just not all that often.

  • Sarah W.

    I have fond memories of visiting the original Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, and I was ecstatic when I learned Voodoo was opening a Denver location. Cons are that the menu is hard to read and doesn't include pictures, and there's almost always a line. Pros? The donuts are hysterical and delicious. How could I resist stabbing a doughnut and watching jam ooze out? Who wouldn't enjoy a doughnut with a spiraled mustache? These pastries are joyous.

    A few weeks ago we watched a Food TV special and it featured VooDoo Doughnuts. I figured it was one of those places I would watch and drool about, but never actually get to eat at, but much to my surprise....They came to Denver!! Yes, we braved the hour long wait to experience the VooDoo Doughnuts and came out unscathed (other than a belly ache from hoovering them too fast). We got a variety of the cake and yeast and of course the signature VooDoo doughnut ("Tom Brady" was the poor victim today). I was so looking forward to the "Fruit Loop" one, since the are my fave, but it was a little disappointing to be honest. It was good, just not Great. It lacked something, maybe a filling? My favorite was the Mango Tango, which packs a yummy tangy punch! The CocoPuff cake doughnut was delish as was the Powdered Jelly. SInce I waited for so long, I wanted to get the most of my experience, so we also got the Fritter. Yum!! It's enormous and so good! VooDoo is Cash Only so make sure you go prepared! They do have an ATM but today if was down, and that would have been very disappointing if I had waited an entire hour, only to have no Cash!

  • Erica R.

    I don't know what the big draw is here. Tried them once, they were okay. Not worth going 40 minutes for or standing in a two hour line for. They get credit for having creativity and fun names for donuts but other than that I'll be passing from now on.

  • James B.

    You don't have to go to Portland to visit Voodoo Doughnut anymore. Pretty good doughnut shop across the board. I like the standards like Dirt (oreo covered) and the Portland Cream (haha suck it Boston). The Mexican Hot chocolate is HOT. So many options, I can't wait to go back and try more!

    (4)

  • Raygina K.

    The only problem with Voodoo is the menu. There's one on the wall above the counter and it's small printed. I just picked donuts that looked good and asked about the ones that I couldn't identify. We were in and out in less than an hour, not much less but still less and the donuts are good. Next time I'll make a list from the website before we go to stand in line.

  • Cookie M.

    Donuts are way overrated. I know because I use to work at a donut shop. They are yummy and delicious and that is what I expect from a good donut. But the wait is way too long (1.5hrs long), customer service is way too slow, and parking sucks. That is why I am giving it 3 stars. Also, donuts were way too expensive. We got a dozen and some specialty donuts. Fritters were good. I wish there was more apple chunks. Also, I did not have very much banana chunks in my Memphis Mafia Fritter. The voodoo donut was yummy, but also not enough raspberry. Don't know why they are so stingy will the their fillings. By the way, "The Fryer Flyer" consist of their top 13 donuts ($23.99)--no specialty donuts like fritters and the Cock-n-balls. Expensive!!! I guess it is good if you want to try Voodoo donuts or if you have 2 hours to spare. Glad I went once, but next time I will go to the local mom and pop donut shops or Winchell's.

  • Lynn D.

    Very good doughnuts. Very inefficient ordering system. The images and font on the digital flatscreen menus are so small that they're completely pointless. I couldn't even see what the prices were. Also, if you're going to have an ATM, it needs to be in service. I waited in line for over an hour and was planning on using your ATM only to find out that it was out of service. Once again, however, the doughnuts were delicious, and I will be back.

  • Joseph B.

    I have gone twice now and once waited 40 minutes and the other time waited 25 minutes. The duct tape art on the wall is great. The Brady and Sherman voodoo dolls were fun to torture. Employees are working hard, having fun and are helpful. The doughnuts were awesome. The drawback is the small menu that is hard to read and of course waiting in line with hipsters. I have had the grape ape (yeast doughnut with grape flavoring), the marshal mathers (yeast doughnut with white frosting and m&m's), the ODB (yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, oreos and peanut butter), a blunt (cone shaped cinnamon), a dirt road (yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting and oreos) and a voodoo doll (yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting). The voodoo was my least favorite. The others were fantastic. Doughnuts are about $1 - $2 each though and yes cash only. Good place for a desert.

    (4)

  • Mark S.

    Cash only and only open five days a week. Not a great sense of customer appreciation. I will certainly not go out of my way to try this place again. Ill keep my loyalty to the local shop that works hard to make me donuts everyday.

  • Agi D.

    Okay so Iam not a donut fan. I wanted to try it and see it for myself. First of all the lines are not that big only because there is so many people, it's because once you order they chat with you ask how was your day etc..either they are just nice or this is the best way to keep the lines long...bravo, good marketing! We ordered a dozen donuts and tasted quite a few, liked all of them. I would be back. They are a lot better then any donut I have ever had....well done!

    (4)

  • Nate C.

    The doughnuts are great, and the concept is a lot of fun. Their cake doughnuts are my favorite. Their menu is next to impossible for me to read, and the cash-only thing is really obnoxious. Otherwise, show up during off hours or you're going to wait. No need to cry about it, yelpers! If you just want a doughnut, Winchells is just as good as it's always been...

  • Anna K.

    I circled the block three times for a parking, and it was totally worth it. I ordered a Portland Creme donut, their version of a Boston creme. It was just what I wanted, not too sweet, and a good Bavarian cream. They will start making orders for pickup on March 1st, so that should cut down on the wait time.

  • Jen T.

    I have been to the Portland location once, but it was right before my flight and I didn't have much time to enjoy them. Ever since then, I have been anxiously awaiting the Denver location opening. I will say that I have been frustrated with Voodoo's "soft opening". Yes, I understand how a soft opening works but I would like for them to at least post on Facebook when they sell out of donuts for the day. I already went down once to discover they were sold out for the day, which was quite disappointing, since I live about 30 minutes away. I arrived just before noon on a Sunday, expecting them to be sold out and closed. However they were open and had a pretty good variety left. The place was packed and the line seemed long and daunting, however it only took 40 minutes to get through, because there were 3 employees on the register. I had my list ready because I looked at the website while in line, and they could fulfill most of what I wanted. However, I had no idea about their bucket full of day old donuts for $8! I got some fresh donuts, as well as the bucket for $23. The bucket contained roughly 35 donuts, from regular donuts to specialty ones. The donuts at the bottom were a bit smashed and inedible, but the rest taste delicious!! I enjoy having the ability to try a variety without the price tag. Now, these donuts are definitely novelty. I wouldn't go out and get them every Sunday or for a casual occasion. They are most definitely a treat, and I can't wait till the grand opening when they work some of these kinks out and are open 24/7!

    We've tried to go there 4 times during normal business hours and they have been closed every time. I've heard of long lines, but I don't get it if they are never open. If there is such a huge demand why don't they stay open longer. After trying to go there today, I think I'm over it and don 't really care about the hype. Hopefully if I ever do go there it will be decent at least.

  • Mari S.

    These are by far the best doughnuts I have ever had! Always FRESH regardless of the time of day and they have seriously mastered the raised doughnut. My personal favorites are the maple bacon & the Blunts and the cinnamon crullers. Yes the line is always long night and day (even tried at 5:30 a.m. and still a line), but there is a reason for that....THEY ARE AWESOME and well worth the wait!

  • Lorie A.

    All the hype for these donuts so we drive all the way there to find that they are closed and on a Monday. ...so not customer friendly! Wow..really oh well I've lived 47 yes without a voodoo donut I'm sure I will continue to do so.

  • Heather P.

    As a foodie I had to go to Voodoo. We went on a Saturday & the line was down the block so we passed. I went today (Wednesday) around 4 and it was barely out the door. No biggie, especially since I was child free. So I don't have a problem waiting for something that I have seen several times on Food Network & Travel Channel. But as a previous reviewer said, the wait is mostly because of a severely flawed system. Not only did my person go back and forth several times to the register, she still got my order wrong. I even had it written down for her. When I got home I was short 5 donuts, 3 of which were the bacon ones that were 2nd on my list. So I paid $35 and waited 30 minutes for 13 donuts. Donuts that are good yes, hands down they are better than Krispy Kreme, but I will take Lamar's or Dunkin any day over this. The only one I have tasted so far is the Voodoo doll and it is overbearingly sweet. Glad I went, just to say I did, but probably won't go back.

  • Brittany N.

    Dear GOD where to begin. I've been plotting this visit for a week and trying to find the best time. Luckily I didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes and they had 2 registers. I ordered the Rappers Delight, Memphis Mafia, Captain my Captain, Butterfingering and the Voodoo doll. Some I guess I got just for novelty but my favorites were actually the voodoo doll and the butterfinger one surprisingly. It was a good size not too big but not too small. Will definitely be going back!

    Of course the donuts are delicious! I was also pleasantly surprised at the cost, I assumed it would be much more expensive. I didn't mind waiting in line but I did have a problem with how stand-offish our server was. I realize its just a cash-register and someone taking my order but that being said all they have to do is take my order. The girl who helped us was stand-offish to a point of being rude. We asked her a few questions which seemed to be physically painful for her to answer for us. It seems to me that part of the draw of Voodoo donuts is the experience; the place is cute, the donuts are creative, so if I am waiting in line for that long just to have a donut I think they should take more pride in their customer service. Just a thought.

    This place should be called "why america is fat." People sit around all day, then decide to head out for a near-midnight snack of a dozen of their favorite overly-sweet, fried "breakfast foods." The line is probably what attracts people in the first place, but at least half of the wait is due to their horribly incompetent system. The people that take your order all also the people that hunt around for your requests on unlabeled trays. The simpler donuts that we got - cinnamon sugar and toasted coconut were good (though I don't think any better than Dunkin'.) The chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting and coconut was way too sweet, and the chocolate cake was pretty flavorless. So if you have time to waste and could stand to gain a few pounds, or want to observe outrageous inefficiency, line up.

    Great donuts if you are willing to waste more than half an hour standing in line. They definitely need more employees!!!

    Seriously, what business has the tiniest menu showing, meaning everyone has to ask what's what. Then has only has 1 cashier and 1 counter person. It's the nightclub hype mentality to keep a line. Over rated. 2 stars for, Who doesn't like a donut?

    With all the hype, my wife and I went at 11:30 PM on a 20 degree night, thinking we'd minimize the wait. There were probably 15 people in front of us, but it still took over an hour for us to complete our order. The doughnuts are pretty creative, but I'd say they are no better than can be found at other shops (LaMar's, etc). The staff was friendly. Where Voodoo distinguishes itself, and not in a good way, is the inane setup of the store. There does not have to be a line around the block for this place, and there is no reason one would have to wait for over an hour to complete their order. But the inefficiencies of this place make both a daily occurrence. As others have mentioned, you cannot see the menu while you are waiting 60+ minutes in line. Most people seem to visit in groups which results in multiple people asking for descriptions of various doughnuts several times during the same order. The same person taking your order is the person who retrieves your doughnuts, ones and twos at a time. All of this just adds up to a much longer wait than necessary. I think they could improve things by putting a readable menu up around the store so while people are waiting and waiting and waiting they have plenty of time to plan their order. Also, use a few of the dozen or so employees in the store to retrieve orders while the cashier is taking them and handing out the change. It doesn't sound like rocket surgery, but, from the reviews on here, it doesn't sound like VooDoo has figured it out. It was an interesting experience but not at all worth the wait.

    Not worth all the hype. The doughnuts are decent though. Long lines and employees mess around behind counter. The menu is small and hardly legible. You can't see it until youre at the register. Probably wouldn't come here again. It's worth a try though if your in the area. Make sure you have time to wait a little while though.

    Ok so waiting in line for about 45 minutes. The space is fun and the staff have great customer service. I donuts are really good. I'll wait til the newness wears off a bit before I go back, hopefully the lines will not be so bad next time. But they are really good donuts.

    I had a pleasant experience. The smell in the place was amazing! Line was about 10 minutes and the staff had all great attitudes! I loved the donuts and they tasted extremely fresh and flavorful. No complaints here! Except: I can't read the menu screens. They are soooooooo far away and the print is EXTREMELY small. I have 20/20 too! Superman couldn't read it either. I know this because he was behind me in line. Otherwise, I loved it! Try it!

    I learned my lesson today. I love voodoo donuts and took an out of town visitor, thought it would be fun. The lesson learned: don't let the staff pick your dozen because they will pick out junk. There were only two fun donuts and two of the same. I would pay more from now on to pick my own. I feel like it was a waste. The donuts are good but the idea is they are good and fun. In all fairness this is my first disappointing experience.

    My only complaint: every time I forget cash, the ATM is down, and every time I remember to bring cash, it's running like a dream. That thing is cursed, or I am? Who knows. Anyways, down to the nitty-gritty. I tried VD in Portland a couple years ago, and I LOVED it. I was so thrilled when I heard the news that they were coming to Denver, to the point that I gave all my friends and family weekly updates on the progress of the shop being constructed. I was worried that something would go horribly awry and the donuts would not taste the same, but they did it, they captured all that VD magic and brought it straight to Denver. If you love fruity/tangy flavors, I suggest the mango tango donut, it's my go to flavor. Another favorite is the ODB donut, with Oreoes and peanut butter. The more inventive donuts, well, most of their donuts, are definitely very sweet, and I would suggest getting a couple and splitting them with friends, family, your significant other, etc., because it is difficult to take on so much sweetness, but if you're a total sugar fiend, well dive right in! Aside from the donuts their staff is generally pretty friendly, and super helpful.

    We came here expecting a decent donut. Our first tip that we were in for a treat was the 30 minute line. If people were willing to wait a half an hour for this blob of fried dough, it must be good, right? As we stepped inside, we noticed the hilariously inappropriate "specialty" doughnuts, which are called cock'n'balls and looked like a cartoon image of the male reproductive system. I had the loop, which was amazing. I expect that we will be frequenting this place.

    After a bad day my roommates and I thought it would be good to distract ourselves with a trip into Denver for a visit to VooDoo Doughnut. When we arrived around 3:45 the line was way out the door. We ended up waiting about an hour and fifteen minutes to order the dozen doughnuts we'd pick out to try. The wait just made finally getting our pink box more exciting. And while they definitely could have been speedier at the counter, VooDoo knows that there are people willing to wait and a line out the door is the best advertising they can get. The doughnuts went from not bad to amazing. The 12 doughnuts we tried were: the voodoo, maple bacon bar, Miami vice, blueberry cake, old dirty bastard, the cap'n crunch one, the cocoa puffs one, one covered in butterfingers, coconut, mango, blunt, and the McMinnville cream. We proceeded to cut each doughnut in fourths and try each one of the dozen. Our agreed favorite: maple bacon bar. With old dirty bastard mango and cap'n crunch coming close. We picked out special doughnuts so it was about $20, next time we'll try the voodoo dozen.

  • Derek C.

    This place has very tasty donuts - the Maple Bacon Bar and Captain, my Captain are my two favorites. The donuts themselves are good, not great, but the toppings and different frosting that they put on the donuts put them over the top. I really enjoy the extremely diverse selection that they offer, and every donut that I have tried has been very good. The only drawbacks to Voodoo are the parking situation (street parking - good luck getting a spot) and that they could really use to make the physical menu bigger (it is very hard to see/read). Overall, this place is better than Krispe Kreme, Winchell's, and Lamar's. I would say 4.5 out of 5 if I could.

    (5)

  • Teressa C.

    I love you voodoo. You've ruined me, I can't eat a donut from any other establishment (with the exception of Lamar's glazed) without feeling disappointed. Wish your lines were shorter but I understand the customers dedication. Texas glazed doughnut, mango tango are my favorites but I continue to make my way through the list! Definitely recommend, but be prepared to now have higher donut standards and also be prepared to wait, although I can confirm that at 4 am, there is no line!

    Voodoo Doughnut makes incredibly good doughnuts!! The problem is how they run their business. I've been there 4 times, and twice I was impressed as they had 3 out of 4 cash registers taking customer orders, and quickly getting customers on their way! The other two times, they only had 1 register running, making the wait incredibly long, and tonight, I walked out, as we had moved 4 feet in 8 minutes. All four times I've been there, the line started just inside the door, so you respectively have about 25 to 30 customers in front of you. Why on earth would the folks who run this spectacular facility, install 4 registers, and only operate one, when the line is over 3 customers deep? This is a very poor business practice, that unfortunately seems to be embraced at Voodoo Doughnuts on Colfax, and it's a shame that the employees see this problem, yet do nothing about it. I'm not there because it's a fun place to be. I'm there because I'd like to get some doughnuts, and be on my way.

  • Ingrid E.

    I waited on opening day to buy doughnuts for myself and my crew at work. I was so pleasantly surprised by their prices, I ended up buying doughnuts for my crew, my husband's crew, AND a friend recovering from surgery! The doughnuts? Honestly, I didn't care for their small cake doughnuts, but I was alone in my opinion. Their HUGE yeast raised doughnuts are ridiculously amazing! I served their doughnuts to over forty people. The only complaint I got was that the Captain Crunch on the Captain my Captain was soft. Soft, but still delicious. Their Maple Bacon Doughnut is sure to become a very occasional guilty pleasure of mine. People complain about the parking? This is in NO way the fault of the bushiness! The shop is IN THE CITY! (Seriously people.) It is cash only, so come prepared.

  • Rachel P.

    I came in the other day and asked about gluten-free donuts which they don't make because they don't have a separate fryer. But the doughnuts look delicious. I am wondering if VOODOO DOUGHNUT would be willing to make a donut out of gluten-free ingredients even though it wouldn't technically be "gluten-free" since it would be fried in the same fryer as gluten-full doughnuts?

  • Laura M.

    Just a donut, cute idea but staff was too rude to all the customers. Should have signs explaining what's in each or train employees to be more helpful to the people paying their wages! It will wear off just like Krispy Kream did.

  • Joe F.

    Horrible customer service staff was rude and not at all helpful. Looked forward to visiting after hearing so much about this place perhaps the original is better but the Denver location sucks. No where to sit inside store is just one long line for very over priced not well made donuts. Top pot is by far a much better doughnut shop heck king soopers are better than this place.

    Yes, they are good and yes, there is always a line.

    Sooooooooo the donuts should get 5 stars. For sure. Super creative with their products. But they really need to get it together in almost every other aspect. I hope it's just because they're new and working out kinks. First, the website is not updated to properly reflect their hours, or that there's even a Denver location. I feel like no one knows when they are open or what to expect. When we got there at 8am, the sign on the door said that they were closed. They were not. We went in and luckily there was no line. Well, actually there was a line, for the ATM. Because they are cash only. And the sign on the ATM warns that the ATM is very slow. And that's definitely true. Painfully slow. The next annoying obstacle was that you can't read the board of what the donuts are. I had no idea what to order and the staff member wasn't helpful. I felt rushed and pressured to order :( I just don't know. The donuts were good and I'm glad I can say I went, but it just seems like a big hassle.

  • David D.

    4 people ahead of me this morning with 2 registers open - it took 20 minutes to get out the door, and I only took 2 minutes to buy 2 doughnuts. Oh yea, they taste like any other doughnut. Actually they taste worse because they're expensive. 2 stars for being 24 hours.

    (2)

  • D.J B.

    Well folks, the verdict is in. I had two experiences at Voodoo Donuts tonight...my first and my last. Voodoo Donuts is nothing more than the In-N-Out of the donut world as it is unquestionably the most over rated food experience I've had the displeasure of in years. Clearly I'm supposed to consider it my privilege to stand in line for 30 minutes so that I can be blessed with this thing that they passed off as a donut. And "passed" is right as half of the concoctions in there look (and presumably taste) frighteningly similar to something that emerged from someone's colon after a night out in LoDo. This might have all been overlooked had it not been for the girl behind the counter who greeted me with not a single word but rather a raised eyebrow and a "WTFDYW" stare. No, I think I'll settle for Winchell's and Lamar's from here on out. But I'll always be thankful to Voodoo Donuts for providing me with the greatest waste of a half hour since the last time I locked my keys in my car.

  • Jay R.

    Okay so I was super skeptical of VooDoo. I expected the food to be good, sure, and I knew the lines would be long since it hasn't been open all that long. But holy toledo. I stood in an hour and a half long line, passing the entire time talking about doughnuts with my friends. None of us thought it could be worth the wait. A King Soopers doughnut is not earth shattering, but also not bad at all. Well, I can tell you, VooDoo kills it. Would I stand in line all the time for these doughnuts? ABSOLUTELY. We tried the specialty doughnuts as well as the more standard doughnuts and each one outpaced any other doughnut we ever had. The service was alright, although they did mess up our order. And here is how good the doughnuts were: the order was messed up and we STILL loved every doughnut we had in the box. All I can say is, if you are looking for something to do on Colfax and don't mind the wait, the doughnut is worth it.

  • Jillian S.

    I love that we got a VooDoo Doughnuts in Denver! It is delicious and wish that it was closer to where I lived because I would go here more often. The people are always really nice when I go in. I think the only downfall is that they are a tad pricey but I will still pay because I love the doughnuts.

    (4)

  • Chris H.

    Dear Portland: You can keep your donuts. I waited 90 minutes for a very average donut and a grumpy staff. It's cash-only and the ATM is broken, which only added to the fun. I'm all for quirky donut shops, but this was lame upon lame.

  • Eric L.

    Let me first say, I am a donut fiend/nerd/addict. I really like donuts. So when I heard about Voodoo coming to town I was excited. Well, the other day I finally went... And I hate to say that I was really disappointed. The donuts are good, but not wait-in-line-for-30-minutes good. Not at all. The concoctions are not even that exciting. One of their best donuts (according to me) was a raised maple bar with a slice of bacon on top. At first I was like "oooooh", but after eating it It seems they could have done some things better. Like why wasn't the bacon chopped up so each bite had some in it? As for the other donut flavors I assumed they might have interesting or creative ingredients, but many are just grossly decadent. Who really wants a donut covered with frosting and M&Ms? I love sweet things (LOVE) but I can't stomach something like that. Maybe I'm too picky. Maybe not. Its worth a try for you to make up your own opinion, but I wont be going back.

    My son and I go out for breakfast every Friday before school and I was excited to have Voodoo open so that I would not have to go to dunkin donuts anymore. We've now been 3 weeks in a row. The first 2 times were slow and you could tell they were working things out still; one would think that the the Friday after their grand opening and our 3rd time there would be the smoothest experience yet. Well, one would be wrong. We arrived at 7:50 and there was a line outside (probably about 40 person line). We figured we could get my son a donut in about 20-30 minutes, he could eat it on his way to school, and we would make it to school on time before the bell rung at 8:40. Instead, we waited an hour, yes an hour. The staff while friendly seem to have the attitude that people are happy to wait an hour. It's like the management tells their staff to take their time when fulfilling orders so that there is always a visible line by passerbys. They had 3 registers taking orders which went down to 2 when one of the employees went to fold boxes. They have 4 register stations available so why not have all 4 operating. Voodoo management, NO ONE AND LET ME REPEAT NO ONE HAS TIME TO WAIT AN HOUR FOR DONUTS. Yes, the donuts are great, but that will be our last time visiting Voodoo on a Friday morning before school. Please get your shit together. You have a great concept but the execution is terrible.

    cash touches food. zombified staff. they don't serve donuts, they just make boxes. funny to laugh at the zombies, though. A health hazard: The person who handles the cash is the same person who grabs your donuts to put in the box. Without washing their hands. I think that is enough said, but if you need more reason for me to save you from wasting your time with this joke of a place I have several other reasons to definitely skip voodoo donuts. "The Line" the line is a big con...don't let it fool you as you drive by on Colfax...they must be paying those dopes to stand in line. Perhaps the theme of 'voodoo' is portrayed by having zombies work there. The only girl actually working (out of 6 people) was folding boxes whilst she was encased in a castle of 20 already made boxes. Meanwhile one customer triumphs with donuts every 10 to 15 minutes due to the non-existent "giving a damn about customers or anyone giving anyone donuts" vibe. There are No Donuts, just boxes. Then she carried 5 boxes to the back wall where my eyes feasted on 300 empty voodoo donut boxes already made...*mind blown*. Time to grab those donuts, honey. A great time overall. We laughed at the zombie "service" and the weirdo in line who was holding a carrier with her cat inside while in line. Basically, at the end of the day we would have been in line with a cat at a donut shop for like an hour...so beware that when you step foot into voodoo donuts you, too, become a zombie, which is hazardous to your health. Along with dolla dolla bills on your donuts.

    We were able to stop in here after a night of drinking at some bars in the area. It was about 1:00 am on a Sunday, so there were only a couple people ahead of us in line. We had passed the place around 11:00 pm and the line was almost out the door! Really people, it's a freaking doughnut!! Anyways, the chick that helped us was nice enough and answered a few quick questions we had before we settled on a few doughnuts. We had about $10.00 in quarters leftover from our visit to 1UP, so I did apologize to her in advance for having to pay in quarters. She didn't seem to mind and said she needed quarters anyways. We got a voodoo doll, an ODB and the maple bacon bar. The total was in the $8.00 range, which seems ludicrous to me that anyone would pay that much for 3 doughnuts! However, I figured if they were good then I could justify the price. Well, unfortunately the doughnuts were mediocre and definitely not worth the price. They were too sweet, kinda gummy, and really just overdone. I doubt I will head back anytime soon since I'm not a patient person, so standing in line for a doughnut will never happen and I also don't think the hype translated to the quality of the product. If someone brought them to my house and I was hungry enough, I might try one again, but I won't be wasting my time or money getting them myself.

    The key to a successful trip to Voodoo Doughnuts is to go during non-peak times. I was told before 6 a.m. and from 7-9 p.m. I went at 4:35 a.m. on Sunday because of a meeting (free parking on Sundays) and there were 3 people ahead of me. (Who gets up at 4 a.m. on a Sunday?) I waited about 15 minutes & was able to leave by 5 a.m. The 2nd tip is to go on-line before you get there and figure out what you want to order because it's impossible to read the fine print on the wall. You need to bring binoculars or opera glasses to read what you want to order. I handed my list of 22 doughnuts to a girl w/pink hair who entered them into the cash register. (There is only one person taking orders.) She then carefully and conscientiously placed the doughnuts in the pink boxes so that they wouldn't get scrunched. Then I paid a whopping $48+ cash for the doughnuts. I didn't get to try all the doughnuts, of course, but if you're buying for a group of folks, it's a good idea to bring a plastic knife or kitchen shears so that you can try a variety of different doughnuts. I would skip the garden variety doughnuts; you can get them at other doughnut places. It's the combination of toppings with their different textures that make all the difference here. Some doughnuts can be divided into four pieces such as the apple fritter (hardly any apples), and maybe the peach fritter (delicious w/the cream cheese frosting). In any event, these cholesterol and calorie laden doughnuts are so rich you can't eat much for very long. I liked the Captain Crunch, the Raspberry Romeo. I'm not a sprinkle person so I scraped off the red sprinkles on the Maple Blazer Blunt. The yeast dough was very fresh. Would I return here again? Probably not if I have to stand in a very long line and pay cash. But what I had was delicious and fun to try.

  • Bryan F.

    Love the original location. Doughnuts are still great here, especially the fresh gooey chocolate frosting. But was very disappointed with the Voodoo Dozen I ordered here. They pulled a pre-filled box from a rack, which is okay, but 10 of the 13 doughnuts were "regular" doughnuts that I could've gotten anywhere. In contrast, at the original location, they went around and grabbed them all then and there, and not a single "regular" doughnut in the box. People don't go to VD to wind up with plain, powdered sugar, glazed and old fashioned. :(

  • Brandon A.

    I LOVE doughnuts...I was very excited to have a new doughnut shop blocks from our office. My excitement is gone now that I have had the doughnuts. The marketing is clever, the design of the shop is horrid and the doughnuts are underwhelming. It took a number of cups of coffee to extinguish the sugar overload. Next time I'm in Portland I'm going to have to stop in just to see if it's better, it must be.

  • Stever M.

    Great doughnuts. Long slow lines. It would be faster to fly to Portland for a box. The girl behind the counter has been putting together a box of 6 for the last 15 minutes. While the line is backing up put the door.

    I went on Sunday, March 9th at 3:30 a.m. and it was out the door again. My friend and I didn't leave until 4:45 a.m. We waited in line for over an hour to get doughnuts, I think that was ridiculous. It was nice to be able to to get to know the drunks and insomniacs of Downtown Denver, but I really wanted to get my product and leave. My friend and I decided to tough it out. The staff was much more courteous today. I spoke with a short, young woman with mid to short length black hair, I didn't catch her name, but she was very kind and explained how Voodoo worked. She was much more pleasant than the employee I dealt with last time. What I learned is my other Voodoo review is kind of inaccurate. They do offer a doughnut package for plane doughnuts and glamour doughnuts. I think they called the one for glamour doughnuts a Voodoo Dozen. It included 13 of any of the Voodoo doughnuts, excluding the Maple Bacon Bar, Voodoo Doll Doughnut and the O.D.B doughnut. Essentially the name-brand doughnuts that voodoo is known for are the ones you have to order separately. I never have tried an O.D.B but everyone in line that knows Voodoo, likes it. The voodoo dozen was $14 something, and in my opinion still not worth the price, or wait time. I don't know all the official names of the doughnuts I tried, but I do know some, so I will give a brief description of which ones I tried; there was the blunt (cinnamon cake doughnut with red sprinkles in the shape of a really large joint), Cap'n Crunch doughnut (A raised doughnut with white frosting and Cap'n Crunch), Coco Puff Doughnut (Cake chocolate doughnut with chocolate frosting and coco puffs). Grape Ape doughnut (raised doughnut with grape frosting.....Did not like, too sweet), Butter finger doughnut (Cake doughnut with frosting and butterfingers crumbled on it....too sweet), A couple of raised glaze with chocolate and some cake with nuts and coconut, Oreo cookie doughnut (raised doughnut with frosting and Oreo cookie crumbles, again too sweet), and finally the nasty one of all cake doughnut with Mango frosting and mango in the middle........It was gross. It tasted like canned artificial mango. Finally I had their coffee, it was called NOVO coffee. Novo coffee is bitter and not very tasty; the only plus is that its local. I can't say Voodoo got any better, in fact I lowered a star because the food was worse. The menu feels like it was made by an 8 year old; lots of sugar and bizarre concoction. As I said before it is creative but that's it. I still think you need to try it yourself, because it is unique. The most important thing to remember about Voodoo doughnut is you're waiting in line for a hip ambiance, and a goofy doughnut combo, not much else.

  • Sooz N.

    Well, I'm not disappointed with the service or any other aspect because there was literally no line to wait in. But, I'm utterly disappointed with the donut itself. To put it plain and simple, it fucking sucked. We got the Maple Bacon Bar as well as the Miami Vice. Both doughnuts were raw in the middle, the glaze in the maple bacon bar still had grainy sugar in it, and the Miami Vice doughnut didn't taste like anything except but sugar. Two sad ass doughnuts for five bucks?!?!?! This place is totally not worth the hype and I'm glad I didn't waste my time in a line to find out.

    The wait was about 50 min. 25 outside in freezing cold, 25 inside in the cattle guard...lol.moo...The regular doughnuts are not as good as Krispy Kreme. The voodoo selection is fun. Wicked are the clock and balls! Go on an offtime. Not open Mon, Tues, Wed. Cash ONLY!

  • R J.

    Well, if you have absolutely nothing at all better to do, or if you are one of those hipster douche bags that wait in long lines for a new apple product, then this is the place for you. Several probs with this establishment...first being the donughts are really subpar. You can get a equally tasting donught for half or third of the price without the 30+min wait at king soopers or safeway. If you want a better donught, then try lamars or winchell or watsons off leetsdale. The ONLY thing they have going for them is the "toppings" they put on the doughnuts. But then, all you need to do is buy a box of cereal or oreos and pour it over any doughnut and there you go. That's 3 dollars. Second, it's cash only....they must not be familar with the colfax area...not a safe spot to have tons of cash....plus for the prices of em, if you want a dozen, thats at LEAST $18 dollars plus tax. Third, is the people they have "working" there...the one and only time i was there, one register was open and the line almost streched around the block...they had several people standing around talking some trying to look busy but failing, and others just watching us. Um...how about get on a register? They have what...4 or 5 registers...methinks they want the mystique...people waiting in long lines like sheep..Fourth, menus. If you dont have a smart phone, or looked at their website(NO PRICES on the website), you wont know what to order untill your at register. I can understand them wanting to be "green" and not printing any menus, but how about printing posters with the selections and prices and putting them on the giant glass windows and on the walls so people can decide what they want BEFORE they go up to the registers? Naw...they want that image of being different and non-comformist, so they act and look like hipsters. Cannot wait till dunkin donughts comes back..and i am curious about Glazed and Confused donughts..they look better tasting and all.

    While the donuts are good, the line is only long because the employees work at the speed of slow and prefer to chat with each other than ring customers up. It's all tasty, but not "wait an hour in line" tasty.

    I have yet to try a Voodoo Doughnut because they don't have their hours of operation listed on their website, drove across town and they were closed. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I did try calling the number they have listed on the web and it goes to a full mail box. The outgoing message does not indicate that it is in fact Voodoo your calling. I thought that they would be open 24/7 since their sister stores are in OR. It would be helpful if the hours of operation were listed somewhere on the web or on their voice mail.

  • Shel M.

    I am not basing on their donuts since they were CLOSED! No phone number available, no listing on main VooDoo site, loaded up 4 boys to drive 30-45 min to Colfax location that claims open 24 hours/7 days (shown online at urbanspoon & advertised on TV) and when we arrived PAPER HANDWRITTEN SIGN CLAIMING "Closed until Weds at 6am." It is Monday at 9am! All the hype over this place and they aren't even open for business as stated? Very disappointed and a complete waste of time today!!!!

    I had never been to a Voodoo Doughnut before as I'd never visited Portland, Oregon. Finally, it is here in Denver, and since I follow foodie news, I've been tuned in to the craziness/fandom of Voodoo. So when I found out today they were *FINALLY* having a "Soft Opening" (Friday the 13th in December on Colfax, whew!), I sent a TaskRabbit to wait in line and get me one of the first dozens. Yeah, that sounds crazy, right? Dude is going to be handsomely reimbursed for braving the chilly temperatures and fighting the crowd. Anyway, my TaskRabbit waited in line for a good few hours (before 5pm up to almost 8pm). Took pictures for me (I need pics as proof right?); got me a dozen doughnuts. Sweet and fresh; nice to finally try some! My review on the ones I received: Bacon Maple: They are super SERIOUS about the bacon. Definitely got the sweet and savory down. The Loop: OMG! Froot Loops on a donut?! LOVE. Adds a fun bit of crunch to the creamy vanilla frosting. Dirt: It's dangerous to combine Oreos and donuts. And more to come... I'll probably avoid the lines at the shop for a few months (due to the insanity), but I heard they're having a Grand Opening on January 15th. So go hit it up!

    Parking is almost non-existent here, plus they have signs on their windows warning customers that their vehicles could possibly be towed. Showed up on a Thursday evening (7:30pm), waited for about 15 minutes in line. In addition to that, visited this place on a Friday morning (6:00am), no line. So you pick your own schedule, be with the crowd or anti-social?!? Thank you fellow Yelpers for the reminder that this is, however, a cash only business, so arrive prepared or be "that person." The staff here are laid-back and friendly! Took only four minute for my order. What's more, the menu monitor a very difficult to see the prices (starts roughly $1.45+). If you buy the dozen, it's worth it $15ish; on the contrary, you don't get to choose, they randomly pick them for you. I got stuck with a bubble gum doughnut, which I quickly gave away... Doughnuts tasted fresh and wasn't greasy, the frosting wasn't stuck on the tissue paper, and I didn't get to try the coffee like Dunkin' Donut

    Last month I finally got to experience Voodoo Doughnuts. I had been intrigued by them since Man Vs. Food visited Portland. I moved out to Denver a couple years ago and had heard some colleagues talking about it and when I found out it was the same one, I knew it was only a matter of time before I tried it. They usually will have a long line out the door. As other reviewers have stated, it's cash only but there's an ATM there. I got a voodoo dozen and the cock and balls for my friend who enjoys eclairs. If their selection wasn't so large, I'd give them two stars but with their selection, one more star. The donuts are good but nothing that would make me go out of my way to return to here. The customer service was fine. The donuts were fine. Everything was just fine or A-OK as denoted by my three stars rating.

    Donuts are so unique and all very delicious!!! There is nowhere in shop to eat or even outside which is a bit disappointing.

  • Lucy H.

    I like the doughnut names/shapes/toppings. Yet, the customer service isn't what I would call standard. For instance the person who took our order said a curse word while taking the order (not in a mean way just as part of conversation). The reason for 4 stars is because he gave me back dollar coins for change- I would have preferred him to ask before giving me those. The doughnut was cute and very tasty. I like the way you can get your doughnut ready to eat with what he called "street style" - I will return to try different kinds of flavors.

    This place definitely has a lot of buzz around town. Considering the amusement style line organization they have for the weekend crowds, I am REALLY glad I came here on a weekday. I heard that waits can be over an hour on the weekends - DEFINITELY not worth it, but then again, I don't really think there are any foods worth that kind of wait. Anyway, I love the style of this place and they certainly have an abundance of creativity. There is the cereal killer and other innovative names and donut styles. We ordered 6 unique donuts and sampled them all. Overall, they were tasty (loved captain crunch on the donut), interesting, and well packaged. That said, overall, the taste was average (to maybe slightly above average). I would recommend stopping by (on a weekday) and checking it out, but not sure I will go out of my way to return.

    Came here last night at 2 in the morning, thinking foolishly that there'd be no line. Wasn't a huge line but moved slowly, wait time of about 20 minutes. Ordered the apple fritter, banana fritter, original glazed, voodoo doll, and raspberry filled. I've only tried the apple fritter, banana fritter, and original glazed so far (girl can only eat so many doughnuts at a time) and I have to say that the doughnuts did not live up to the hype. All were just too sweet, excessive amounts of glaze. I barely noticed any chunks of apple in the apple fritter, the banana was slathered in chocolate and pb which overrode any banana, and the original glazed was denser than what I prefer. Cute shop with some potentially interesting flavors, execution just fell a little short. The doughnuts are okay. After hearing everyone's rave reviews, I expected life changing mind blowing doughnuts. I'll stick with KK.

  • Nat S.

    I know its hipster and trendy, but the donuts are well put together and hit the spot. We had the voodoo doll and a french cruller. Both were tasty, staff was cool. I would stop in for a donut again. It may be a bad choice if you are in a rush, as it is a boutique environment and lots of people are slow to pick out a dozen. They also have a mango filled donut which will be a must buy next time.

  • Jessie C.

    I hate to do this to you, VD, because the doughnuts are fab but my time is worth more then the hour long wait in line, and with the mark-up on flour and sugar, you'd think management would seriously consider having extra registers open during peak times. Your employees always look like they want to blow their brains out, and they move slow as anything because they are obviously over it... and so am I.

    Have never been to Portland, and had heard so much about Voodoo Doughnut, so didn't mind waiting in line (it's kind of neat when a place opens for the first time). The place looks cool. Lots of variety. The second time around I got the random mystery box of 4 doughnuts for $5. I tried the maple sugar doughnut and it was super good--didn't want to share at all, but I did!! Apparently this was their "flaccid" opening and will have the Grand Opening on the 15th of January 2014, and I heard they will be open for 24 hours. Even though the doughnuts are good, I want to try the other doughnut shops in Denver before I either upgrade or downgrade my rating. Will definitely be coming back after the initial excitement dies down so I can choose my own doughnuts!! They only accept CASH and they do have an ATM on the premises.

    So, my hubs and I stopped in Denver to hang out with some friends on our cross country trip from CA to MA. We went out to a couple bars, had a few drinks, and while discussing where to take us next, I swear someone said the word "donut". I respond to the words "donut", "cake" or "pizza" the same way a smart dog does to the word "walk"... by running around with a wagging tail, grabbing my leash and trying to contain all my wiggles so the person responsible for me can suit me up. Realizing they'd somehow called out my inner donut monster, our wonderful hosts drove us over to Voodoo Donuts! I'd heard about the locations in Oregon, but didn't know they were in Denver as well. The place was surprisingly empty when we arrived, but by the time we left, the line was out the door... we may have gotten there right when they opened. I was so thrilled by the selection that I took a video of the display case and uploaded it to FB. The next time I have a truly bad day, I'm going to watch it again, so I can see alllllll the pretty donuts turn around and around and around. The taste as good as they look! We got a dozen of various types and flavors, immediately gobbling up the spliff and the white cake donut with the crunch berries and marshmellow-y icing. That shit was crazy, crazy good. They got that donut voodoo magic down! We couldn't finish our dozen the same night, so they ended up coming on the road with us. This was a lucky turn, as we couldn't find a place open for lunch in Wyoming the next day, and ended up eating two donuts and washing it down with protein powder. Yum! I wonder if they'll FedEx me some donuts for my lunch next week.... Maybe I'll just have to visit Denver again instead!

  • Michelle N.

    The store itself was awesome and the employees were super nice but the doughnuts were kind of overwhelming with all the sugar and toppings but maybe thats just because of my pick. I recommend only getting one doughnut. The dirt was decent! Its such a fun store, if you are in denver you totally have to stop by this store. The line stretched out the door but it was worth it!

  • Katie R.

    Take note! It's cash only and street parking only (good luck with that). The doughnut selection is creative, the guy behind the counter was hella friendly and quite cheerful, and those oh-so-desirable pink boxes are stacked a mile high. Truth be told, out of all the fancy-shmancy, creatively taboo doughnuts my favorite doughnut was the glazed buttermilk glazed. It was delectable, drool worthy, off the chain, melt in your mouth, five star.... I went to voodoo as more of a "gotta do it once" type of thing, but that buttermilk sold me hard. I'll be back for that buttermilk glazed again one day.

    They're good, but not extremely special compared to all the hype. Went there when there was no wait so it was fine, but I wouldn't wait on line for them.

  • Kevin T.

    This place is crazy! 10:30 on a Monday night & we waited 20 min in line. That isn't something I would do all the time but it is an experience that you should try at least once. Oh & the donuts are good too!

    (4)

  • Jane S.

    I don't get the hype. I mean, it's a donut and tastes like every other donut I've had. It reminds me of the era of Krispy Kreme and how that fad died within a few years. In fact, I think Krispy Kreme tastes better than VD. We sampled the Dirt, captain, Portland Kreme, maple and grape ape. My fav was the maple but IT TASTES THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER place. Nothing special here folks...just your everyday donut

    (3)

  • Brad P.

    Excellent donuts. I bought a doughnut covered in pentagrams from a hipster idiot with stupid piercings and I love it. Cash only, with a broken ATM, is pretty dumb and unnecessary-it adds needlessly to the line (which leads to more hype)-and there is a lot of silly hype here, but these really are delicious donuts. I think I've decided - as I eat a delicious maple bar - that hype can be fun, and so I'm really glad this place moved here. Ignore the whiners. Put a Cock N' Balls in yer mouth.

  • Jillian S.

    Meh. I'd heard a lot of rave reviews and was rather disappointed. They boast a ton of different flavors rather than focussing on a few solid ones. Plus the prices are ludicrous in light of the quality. Go to Glazed and Confused instead.

  • AC L.

    CASH ONLY Very good donuts! I had the Neapolitan donut and I was really good! It reminded me of the Sponch Mexican cookies. Please be prepare to wait in line since it's very popular.

    My son and I have been trying different doughnut spots around town on the weekends and this was our new to try spot today. Driving up, it looked promising by the long line out the door which is suggestive that it would be a great little spot - until you actually try to find parking. Behind the doughnut shop is a large parking lot (empty today because the business it belongs to is closed for Memorial Day) but, apparently due to some dispute between the businesses, their was a guy patrolling the lot in an ugly, old, red Porsche, specifically looking to tow Voodoo patrons. Mind you, that business is closed today and yet they are there to make sure you don't park in the lot and go into the doughnut place. Turn off # 1. So, after being told if we parked there we would get towed, we moved our car, and although my first instinct was to leave and go somewhere else, I was curious to see what all the hype was about. After driving around awhile, a parking spot opened up in front of the shop so we snagged it and my son got out to wait in line while I stayed in the car with our dog thinking it would only take a few minutes to grab a doughnut and coffee. We sat and waited and waited some more, watching all the people who went in and out of the popular Voodoo Doughnut shop. Waiting patiently, I noticed the tow happy guy in the red Porsche driving around the block repeatedly and staring at the Voodoo business and patrons,- weird, right? I continued waiting for 40 minutes when my son finally emerged with a pink box and the coffee I wanted much earlier. On my first sip of the coffee, I was disappointed because it was not good coffee and I realized I had waited all that time for coffee I couldn't drink and now I no longer wanted to even try the doughnuts, and though my son had bought a 1/2 dozen, they did not look appetizing and I had lost the desire to try anything else from this place. I realize the parking & long wait is not the fault of Voodoo Doughnuts, however, with the bad coffee in addition to the wait and parking issue, the experience isn't one I will opt for again. I generally feel happy when getting a doughnut with coffee but I left feeling cranky.

    Voodoo Donuts, made famous in Portland for their amazing, weird donuts and for their ridiculously long lines, has arrived in Denver. You can read about that here. It makes sense, seeing how both our states have legalized marijuana. Some of our friends have braved the lines. Some were obsessed with it. Some were underwhelmed. Either way, the place has BUZZ. If you are a Denveririte and haven't been, then you aren't as cool as the Denverirte who has been. Denverirte who has tried a Voodoo Donut > Denverite who hasn't. When we drove past the building -all hazy pink neon light on Colfax- I looked at the line. Keep in mind this was in the middle of a snowstorm. And the line was...not that long! Every other time I'd seen it, it wrapped around THE BLOCK. I'm not exaggerating here. It goes around the block. But tonight, due to the weather, there were only about seven people that were waiting outside the door. Of course, the building was full with a weaving line that reminded me of TSA screening at the airport. We parked and began waiting. A girl who had just gotten her donuts walked past us outside as she took a bite of a Captain Crunch Donut. She moaned loudly and then said "This tastes like my childhood!" After about 10 minutes outside, we finally made it to the inside, which smelled like warmth and heaven and childhood. It was also very pink. A giant voodoo doll dangled from the ceiling. Trippy graphic heart covered an entire wall, along with the Jackie Brown-esque painting that watched over the customers as we waited in the line. It was a cool, weird, Portlandy place. I had read other reviews of Voodoo on Yelp, and the common complaint was that most people didn't know what they wanted when they go to the front. The large monitors behind the cash register had such tiny print that I couldn't even see what types of donuts they had. This wasn't working, so we whipped out Nicoles phone and did our research. Bam! Like bosses. We decided on getting nine donuts between the two of us, so that we could both bring home some to our husbands. Our choices: The Mexican Hot Chocolate The Chocolate Crueller A Peach Fritter A Voodoo Doll Bacon Maple Bar Captain my Captain Old Dirty Bastard Chocolate Penetration (I feel icky even writing that, but that is tame compared to some of the other donut names..) & No Name When we got to the front of the line, we ROCKED it. The service was friendly, but had a fundamental flaw: the cashiers would look at what we ordered on the machine and then go get the single donut. Then they would come back and look at the next donut and then go get it and so on. I couldn't help but think -a printed ticket with all the donuts might help this process out a little. We got our little pink box with donuts and felt very proud of ourselves for being so hip. When we left Voodoo, people cheered for us when we walked out the door. It's that kind of place. We tried our first donut in the car: Mine was the Voodoo doll, that had a pretzel stake coming out it's heart. It was amazing. They describe their donuts as "Raised Yeast", and both Nicole and I agree that the best thing about the donuts is the actual donut part - that yeasty bread part that was warm and fresh. The toppings were just, uh, frosting on the cake. Ba-ddum CHING! In short, Voodoo Donuts was absolutely worth the wait. And my husband has never loved me more than when he woke up Sunday morning to a Bacon Maple Bar waiting for him on the counter.

  • Cris F.

    This is a great little doughnut place. I like the creativity in the doughnuts. I got the voodoo doll man and had the fun ripping him apart as if I was a 5 year old. I found it crazy that the store has been open for three months and there was still a line to the door at 1 in the afternoon. I had no idea that there was such a NEED for doughnuts in Denver. Thanks to other Yelpers though I knew before hand that the accept cash only. But one thing I failed to read which would be a good tip if you are planning on going anytime soon is PARKING!!! can be a pain. My suggestion park on one of the side streets like 3 blocks away and walk. You will need to burn off all the doughnut calories anyway. Voodoo also put up a notice in the window that tow trucks were in the area ready to tow in adjacent lots. So there's that. Overall good. But I think I will wait another 3 months before going back until the line is still half as long and parking is a little better.

    Don't fall for all the negative reviews posted by people who believe their precious lives aren't worthy of sacrificing a few minutes of waiting in line. I went at roughly 10am and waited about 15-20 minutes to get to the counter. Surely there are times where the wait could be longer than that, but that's part of the fun. Take a friend and have some conversation while you wait. If you still can't handle that, get new friends. The doughnuts themselves are creative, fun, and YUMMY. Super delicious and there are so many options that you're bound to find something just right for you. I don't have the biggest sweet tooth, so I can only handle about half of a doughnut in a sitting before I fall victim to a minor food coma. I'm hoping a sugar rush soon follows. Also, the staff was very nice and helpful, they took the time to answer my questions and have comfortable small talk. It's hard to see the prices and names on the doughnut menu, but the counter woman gave me a price on every donut as I asked and managed to understand my made up names for all the donuts that I couldn't manage to read. All in all, I did enjoy my first visit to Voodoo. I couldn't see my self frequenting here, but it's definitely ideal for an occasional sweet snack!

  • Aaron I.

    What is the deal with the hype for this place? You wait in a long line to buy overpriced doughnuts that taste no different than a 0.60 pastry from King Soopers. Was curious initially, but was disappointed in the end. It seems to me people feel "cool" walking down Colfax with a big, pink Voodoo box. Spare me.

  • Tom C.

    Yeah mon. The best doughnuts in town next to Lamar's. Many regular and erotic options to choose from. Hate those long lines sometimes, but well worth the wait. So no curse for this fan ;) Oh yeah, CASH ONLY my friends...

    Dude....I mean...wow. I'm from Atlanta and we have Sublime donuts which are amazing, but this if those are 1A these are 1B! The yeast donuts are thick and dense and soft! I got the Old Dirty Bastard and the Portland donut. You can't go wrong. Long lines so be prepared to wait 15mins but it's so worth it. Come on in!

    I had been wanting to go to Voodoo doughnut for ages and I certainly wasn't disappointed! Best doughnut's I have had in my life! The staff was friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the facilities are very clean. This will be my first stop next time I go to calorado!

    Cash only and street parking. Open 24/7 except some holidays. Lines around block at times but when I went it was less than 45 minutes. Mango tango was pretty good awesome with nice cold milk. Customer service was pleasant.

    Was in Keystone for a quarterly sales conference, we got out of our meeting early our last day and my flight didn't leave until 5 so I had to drop in. Walking up to the door the aroma of fresh sugary goodness filled my nose holes as I opened the door I knew I was in heaven. I approached the counter, greeted by a friendly bearded Denver-ian...Denver-ite... Denver...guy. I asked what his favorite was "ah man there are so many good ones I don't have just one but if I had to choose, I'd say the bacon bars"... Me: "Give me two of those!" Since I knew there was probably a slim chance that I would ever come back ooor if I did, it would be a while I went all out and got a bunch. Just to name a few, Old Dirty Bastard, The Loop & Captain My Captain. I ate two on the steps of oddly enough the dentist office down the street and brought the rest on the plane with me. Sadly one melted and the others went stale the next morning BUT my my was it worth the shot.

  • Nicholaos B.

    I was very excited to come here after seeing Anthony Bordains bit on the restaurant in Portland. Unfortunately, that excited turned into disappointment shortly after waiting in a long line, paying an ATM fee and taking a bite of the butterfinger donut. The donuts are overpriced for what they are, comparable to Krispy Kreme, Dunkin or I'd even go as low as grocery store donut. Dine here if you want to pay for marketing gimmick, but not if you're looking for a serious treat.

    (3)

  • Sean H.

    Cash only and the disgraceful waste of money on a crappy menu design. As someone else noted, why not use the tech you have to update the menu as donuts become unavailable. That and enlarge the font/pricing a tad. Other than that and the usual long line, sooo delish.

  • Shauntia M.

    Was a little nervous about the event location, but don't let that so you from visiting! Got the Voodoo Doll, Mexican Hot Chocolate and the Peanut Butter Oreo (per cashier's recommendation). Mexican Hot Chocolate was great and had a little spice! PBS Oreo was my fave... sweet and delicious! Great balance of both flavors!

    We waited 30 minutes to see what this what the fuss was all about.. The signs are too small to even read and they are placed in a bad spot, Service was extremely slow. We watched someone in the kitchen area sweep the same spot for ten minutes. That is not a joke, One piece of apple in my husband's fritter I had the maple bar and it was good but not worth going back for.

  • Kristofer Z.

    Don't get me wrong, the doughnuts are excellent. Some make you feel like your teeth are going to rot from all the sugar, but they are still delicious. Even the more traditional (plain) varieties are worth getting. The rating suffers because of everything else. First of all, there's no parking. Yes, this is common on Colfax, but there's a parking lot directly behind the building and yet Voodoo didn't (couldn't?) reserve any spots there for its customers. So while I often expect to walk a block or two when I come to Colfax, I feel Voodoo could have done something to make the situation better. The lack of parking is exacerbated by the constant line. If you get a line shorter than 15 minutes, go buy a lotto ticket next, because it's your lucky day. The line is often over 45 minutes. The high demand could be because it's new to Denver, but I'm told the Portland locations are the same way. Seems to me Voodoo is inconveniencing its customers and leaving money on the table by refusing to increase supply to meet the demand - either by running more registers or opening more locations. Figuring out which donuts you want is a challenge, because the one menu is tiny and way up high. I used my phone to look up the menu while waiting in line, but a printed paper menu would have been far better. But it seems many people get to the front of the line without any idea what they want. Absurdly in this day and age, they are CASH ONLY, and this is also consistent with their original locations, so it's not like they have yet to get the system up and running. There is an ATM, but even they acknowledge it's so slow as to be nearly useless. Credit card merchant fees may cut into the bottom line, but it's a convenience and a service to the customer, like parking and readable menus, that makes the experience more enjoyable. One positive - I felt like the service while ordering at the register was pretty snappy and efficient. They make a list of your entire order and then assemble it, checking it off as they go. Way faster than fetching doughnuts one at a time.

  • Mike W.

    Definitely a bunch of inventive donuts. I really liked my donut. I wouldn't say I LOVED my donut, but I think I just had super high expectations because the line was literally out the door. Good donuts though, really!

    (4)

  • Abbie B.

    The doughnuts are pretty good but the service is average. I got the oreo cookie doughnut and it tasted like a regular glazed. I was a bit disappointed. The staff seems a bit stand offish/ badass /too cool. And when is this place NOT packed out? The line went just to the door which was lucky and it took about 25 min at 11pm on a Tuesday night. This is not a good place for kids who know how to read... There are definitely some adult themed doughnuts. Seriously could be a huge improvement if they offered seating. They must make enough money to be able to provide some tables. Seems pretty standard to see customers sitting outside on curbs eating. The atmosphere outside is a bit creepy. Lots of hobos walking up and talking to people in line. I wouldn't recommend for women to be here alone at night. I was thankful to have 2 men with me.

  • Kevin B.

    Dear friends: I'm not a big fan of donuts. I will have them once in a great while. And having said that, they are, considering the outrageous caloric content, not worth a half an hour wait. Especially considering the fact that it is not difficult to appropriately staff a restaurant so that the line moves relatively quickly. That leads us to the question: why does the management of VD doughnuts continue to make the decision to allow a Disney World-length line to exist in and around its establishment? I would argue that they do so because they think their customers are so clueless as to not recognize that their business is all buzz--all flash--all style and little substance. To be fair, if that is your thing, if that makes you feel like a unique human being, to eat an interestingly-named donut after standing around for a good while, then I am in no position to judge you. Spend your cash (and only cash) there. We all have our quirks. But here's my advice: don't do it. Go to LaMar's or somewhere. When I want a donut, I go to Patty's on 29th and York. Patty, the owner, is always there, there are always great donuts, & you are buying a product from an earnest and grateful small business owner. There is no flash. No buzz. Just donuts. Quickly.

    !! NEVER AGAIN !!! I've been to the one in Portland; WONDERFUL experience! So with that said when I found out they opened one in Denver I was ecstatic. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! I waited in line patiently, knowing the wait would be a while, finally when I reached the counter: 1) Guy tells me he's going on a break and leaves 2) I'm stuck 10 minutes of waiting for someone to take his place (NO ONE EVER DOES BTW) 3) Another 5 minutes of being ignored by the guy in the cash register NEXT to me while I politely wait 4) Finally when a second person DOES go up to the counter, she chooses to go on the complete opposite register of where I'm at and ignores me (AGAIN) Four groups later, the kind strangers behind me let me take their turn to FINALLY order my donuts. After all that guess what? They got my order wrong.....I didn't once bother complaining I just wanted to get out of there. \(T^T)/ Dunkin Donuts FTW!

  • Wesley O.

    lots and lots of hype for this place. stood in line for 15-20 min, which wasn't terrible. paid $12 for 6 donuts. I was hoping for an amazing actual donut, but it seems they only have crazy toppings that get a lot of attention, but the donut isn't anything special. I've definitely had better donuts before for the same price or less. They also go for the "shock factor" with the various donut names and such. Over-all not too impressed.

    The novelty of it all is great. The donut was amazing as well. I don't know that I'd stand in a line for that long just for a donut though. Love that they have vegan donuts!!!!

  • Quinn P.

    This place is definitely a place to visit when you are in colorado. It is only in colorado and in Oregon! It is open 24/7 so any time come. But I recommend a late late night run cause it's usually packed. Their doughnuts are definitely worth their price as they are DELICIOUS! I recommend the voodoo doll doughnut and the captain my captain. They also have their own unique drinks. Remember to bring cash as it's a cash only establishment. I also recommend the 14 dollar box. It comes with 13 randomly selected doughnuts and is the best bang for your buck. It's worth the wait and money!

  • Jonathan C.

    So first things first - the donuts here are pretty good. They are now open 24/7 so they are making these donuts pretty much all day long. We got several types - Maple Bacon, No Name, Captain my Captain, Arnold Palmer...they were all very tasty. The MAJOR issue here is the line...and not even so much that there is a line, but HOW LONG you have to wait in that line is absurd. We arrived at VD at about 7:00PM on Saturday night...probably a slightly busy time for them, I can understand that. The line was just starting to go out the door...our initial spot put us about 3 back from the door to get in. The first time I saw someone walk out of the store with a box of donuts was 5min later. It took over 10MINUTES for the line to move enough to get us in the door. Im thinking in my head - man, I wonder what the hold up is...its a cash only business, the donuts are already made...how long could it take to give someone an order? Once inside I could assess the situation a little more. They have 4 (FOUR) registers open along the counter...so clearly that wasent the issue. They had hundreds of different donuts on cooling racks waiting to be picked up and placed in boxes...so that wasent the issue. The line itself wasent even that long - I estimated about 30ish people ahead of me, most of which were in groups or couples...so really only about 10-15 orders ahead of us. So...whats the problem you ask? The absolute snails slow pace the staff moves at. Im not sure if thats part of the atmosphere that the owner wants for the place - but man alive...they would literally get an order from someone for a dozen donuts, and the person would go back, get 1 doughnut, put it in the box, look at their computer screen to see what the next one is, go back grab that 1, come back put it in the box, look at the screen for the next one....on and on and on like that. An order for a dozen seemed to take the staff around 10min to complete. I just dont get it. I would even go as far as to say they are purposefully going slow to ensure that there is always a line that goes out the door...which if thats true is terrible. We waited roughly 45min to get 7 doughnuts in a line that most other doughnut establishments could burn through in 10 minutes. VD's biggest problem will be return customers. Donuts are a dime a dozen, and while they might make very good donuts, the novelty wears thin when you have to spend more time waiting in a line to get the doughnut, than you do eating it. Ill go back - but only if they fix the wait issue. I dont mind waiting in a line - but lets put a little pep in the step eh employees? Its doughnuts for gods sake...its supposed to be a convenience food/treat. Also, I think it would be a great idea for them to turn 1 of the 4 registers into an "express lane" - meaning that people who just want to order 2 or less donuts could go in that line and order, and not have to wait behind the people who are ordering 5 dozen.

    Awesome fun selection and great staff. We were in and out in a breeze. A fun stop while in Denver... guaranteed to have a fun flavor doughnut for everyone, just hard deciding which one to try?! Enjoy!!

    I was nervous about coming here given all the negative comments on the long lines, rude staff, no parking, annoying clientele, etc...... Glad I gave it a chance! Came on a Tuesday morning around 7am. There was not one person in line and plenty of free parking right out front (meters don't start til 9am). The gal at the register was super friendly, down to earth and helpful with recommendations, descriptions and packaging my order into a pretty box to take away (she even thought to offer me extra tissue paper since I was bringing these in to share with co-workers). I ended up leaving with 15 doughnuts for just under $25. Were these the best doughnuts of my life? Probably not. Some were delicious, some were way too sweet for my liking. But they were really fun, interesting flavors... and my co-workers all got a kick from trying bites of different kinds. More expensive than King Soopers? Yes, averaging $1.66 a piece for my 15. But again, the fun experience was definitely worth all that. All in all, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. It helps to check out their menu online before going to get an idea of what you want, as there's dozens of flavors available and deciding on the spot can be overwhelming. Just remember to bring cash.

    Take your tiger friend and get ready for a sugary jolt akin to downing a box of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. I'm partial to the concoctions with the cream filled centers that you can lick out with your tongue (ha, ha) but it really doesn't matter what you choose since all of their treats are tasty. Not the best I've ever had but pretty damn close. Bring cash (a fair amount, its not expensive but these doughnuts ain't cheap) and go at an off time because if you are waiting in line for an hour to buy doughnuts, you're doing it wrong. (Its a treat, not a job)

  • Lauren M.

    Okay, donuts are delicious. The donuts at 7-11 are even good if you really need a donut. But I bought a dozen donuts for upwards of $20 and it was SO worth it. There's usually a line, but sometimes in bad weather or at weird times of day, you'll catch a slow time. I'd say it's not worth a half hour wait, but stop here to pick up some donuts for your coworkers and they'll love you forever (just maybe avoid the blunt and the cock donuts, NSFW).

    If I could give them negative stars I would after the horrible customer service I received today, I came in and bought over $30 worth of donuts when I got home I realized that 4 of the donuts were not what I ordered , I ordered 4 maple bars what ended up in my order were 4 cake like donuts , I also realized the guy never gave me a receipt but who thinks they are going to need one for donuts, so I called the shop expecting them to be able to help me, I was even willing to drive back, well I ended up talking to two managers neither of which were willing to help me, they told me without a receipt they couldn't help me even though it had been only an hour. They even admitted that they often forget to give people there receipts but that it was still my fault. They refused to exchange for even give me the 4'donuts I was missing you would think a large business like this would have better customer service and wouldn't want to lose a customer that comes here fairly often but I guess not.

    Awesome doughnuts. Definitely ten times better fresh than if you eat a day old. Creative, edgy, all that. K. Now that that's out of the way, parking sucks in cap hill, but it's not Voodoo's fault. They're worth what some see as inconvenient parking and a bit of a wait. Park a ways away, walk a few blocks, wait for your donut and enjoy your hard earned baked good. That's what you're signing up for, and it's wonderful. Viva Colfax!

  • Rick B.

    The iconic doughnut shop from Portland, Oregon. I once saw the shop on Food Network and was so envious of those who have had a chance to eat at this glorious establishment, figuring I would never have the opportunity, with no need to ever go to Oregon. Buy then they opened in Denver and I have now been multiple times and they are as delicious as my imagination portrayed them to be. A must try doughnut shop full of both bold doughnut names and flavors. My fave is the Old dirty bastard, chocolate frosting, crushed Oreos, and peanut butter drizzle....heaven :D

    It's really hard after a 40 minute wait, to say your unhappy with a product. We got 2 dozen doughnuts, none of them were AMAZING. All of them were mediocre at best. This place is clearly running off of "the new cool thing on social media", seeing all of the hipsters taking selfies and pictures of doughnuts inside. It is working out great for them right now, but once it wears off they will have to restructure the process. The long line is just due to lack of management, and not being able to see the menu. Here's an idea: while I wait 40 minutes for mediocre doughnuts, have a menu on the wall that I can read. Or: have your cashiers ring people up, and have one of the 10 employees standing around grab the doughnuts. I guess I'm just not cool enough to wait in a long line for a mediocre product. I won't return...

  • Ezzie S.

    Update: I have been here approx 10 times and waited through the horrendous lines and 9 of those 10 times they don't have the donut I like and I'm forced to order something else since I just spent that time in the awful line. I won't be going back. I'm not sure what all the hype is about at this place or why you should wait in line for 20+ minutes for doughnuts anywhere. The customer service is good the doughnuts are average (a bit sweeter than most but good). I wouldn't go out of my way again to visit them but if I'm in the neighborhood I would stop by only if the line is short.

    We were in town for a concert and dropped in for some donuts beforehand. Line wasn't bad, just long enough to give us time to figure out our order. I particularly enjoyed the Old Dirty Bastard. When I asked how big the Voodoo Doll was, our cashier gave us one for free (because it was face down on the tray for some reason). We devoured our box next door.

    Crappy Hipster service for crappy hipster donuts. While they have a wide variety of doughnuts, our reaction was meh. Also, having to wait 45 minutes in line for crappy service diminished the experience even more. We will drive to Krispy Kreme for a much cheaper and more delicious dozen of donuts.

  • Chris B.

    We were so excited to come try these doughnuts. We heard great things and thought we would stop by on our visit from Chicago. Luckily we went early enough that there was no line. However, the doughnuts were a little stale, considering we went at 7:30am.

  • Jen H.

    Two words: Portland Cream. Plenty to look at while you wait in line (though, when I was there, the line was only about 4 people long - yay!). The long list of doughnut varieties can be found on their website, for those of you who like to walk in with a specific doughnut in mind. Their display case may change your mind, and I think that they know that, so maybe that's why they automatically start opening up a box for you as you walk up to the counter. My sister and I only bought one doughnut each, but we'll be back to try others soon. The folks who work here are happy to answer any questions, the doughnuts look and taste fresh, and the wait in line is worth it.

  • Marisa P.

    Honestly, I would not go back! It was not worth the hype at all. You can get doughnuts that taste the exact same at King Soopers--and with a lot less hassle! The 45 minute line is NOT because the doughnuts are so amazing and warrant a wait. The long line is because the service is terrible, the menus are illegible and the overall system is awful! The employees take their sweet time. Paint dries faster than these employees walk. It takes so long because the same person who is the cashier is also the one to pick out your doughnuts (but not without consulting the cash register in between each doughnut to remember what you ordered), to build the boxes and to restock the shelves. It's a joke of a system. The menus are so small that you cannot read them, which only adds to the lengthy wait because when the customers finally get up to the cash register, they have to ask what the flavors are. A cash-only business in this day and age is ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous? The fact that they are 3 weeks old and the ATM in the lobby is already broken. All in all, not worth your time!

    there was a line but it moved fairly quickly, I waited 15 minutes. You can't choose your own flavors, understandable since the wait would be longer but still annoying. I did like most of the flavors chosen for me, love the orange flavor and even the grape one. The quality is ok, not amazing tastes but creativity wins. I'd visit again

    My family and I went here yesterday as part of our trip to the botanic Gardens. It's very close so it's a good stopping point for a quick breakfast before hitting the gardens. The neighborhood is not the best but the donuts are definitely worth it. I had heard that the lines could be as long as an hour or two hours. That was not the case on this Saturday morning. We spent about 15 minutes of nervous anticipation in line trying to figure out which donuts we would get. All of that adds to the experience my favorite donut out of the dozen that we bought was called but no name. It is a chocolate raised doughnut with rice crispies and peanut butter. Walking out with the big pink box and the cool graphics you feel like 1 million bucks. Don't miss it bring home a dozen everyone will thank you.

REPEAT steps 1 thru 3 JUST GO! (if you don't like it you don't get it, it's a Voodoo Doughnut thing)

    Waited 45 minutes in the middle of the week. Thank GOD for the menu on their website because you are physically unable to read the menu screens above the counter. And if you have eaten all your carrots all your life, you still won't know what's in the donut youre ordering... just the neat name of said donut. Donuts were HIGHLY overrated. Very sweet with all the crap piled high on top of some of them. Overpriced. The cake donuts taste like they're all a day old. The yeast donuts had a great consistency but were marred by all the extra crap they put on top of it. I'd totally recommend going to Dunkin Donuts... at least the service is fast, you know what you're ordering, and everything tastes fresh.

    I went to Voodoo yesterday. The line was only inside the door, which is great from what these other reviews say about the line. That being said, I still waited a good 30/45 minutes. Let's get the obvious out of the way: Cash only. I realize they started as a small business, but not having a card option just demonstrates either laziness or being cheap. Don't want to pay the credit card companies to allow customers to use services? Fine. Charge a fee for using a card. The inconvenience is annoying (not to mention that's probably a big factor in the line problem). ATM is a joke. It's worse than a computer running Windows 98 after a power surge hits. The people were friendly enough, though. However, there was one female on the register that was wearing a cut up shirt, so cut up that you could see her bra (not just the strap, I'm talking a full cup). Ew. Not even McDonalds would be ok with that. The product? Tastes like a donut. The appeal is nice, the unique flavored are cool. But other than the "special" toppings, the donuts are mediocre. I got quite a few of them, not one was fresh out of the oven. Over all, I would say save your time, save your money. There's a Krispy Kreme on County Line that serves fresh donuts that actually melt in your mouth. Try that place. I've never seen a boob there, either.

  • Justin H.

    THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! Do not let lines out the door scare you away from this place. Remember the doughnuts are already done and the average person only spends about 2-3 minutes at the counter. The staff here was super friendly and helpful. Please note that as is says on their web site and a few places in and on the building, THIS IS A CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT! That being said there is an ATM in the lobby. I recommend brining at least $10. The doughnuts here are some of the best I have ever had! To be honest I think they kick Dunkin' Doughnuts in the dick!

    4 stars because it's famous and deserves a visit. My sister lived across the street.. How lucky was I! The actual doughnut is nothing special, but the toppings are AMAZING! My favorite was the fruit loops. I'm not sure if the frosting is different than other ones but it tasted like a milk and cereal bar. I loved it. Second favorite was m&m

  • Jordan N.

    Amazing!! The wait was definitely long. We waited an hour on a Saturday morning, but I'd say it was worth it for the donuts. the donuts were delicious and creative. I explained to the cashier that I had a dairy allergy and he helped me find a vegan choice that was delicious. The only downside is that it's cash only, but it's definitely worth hitting up an atm for a delicious donut!

  • Aaron W.

    Complete lack of regard for the customer!!! I talked this place up to my roommate because the doughnuts themselves are delicious. However, the workers there haven't even an ounce of work ethic. We waited 20 minutes to be helped, despite there only being one group of four in front of us. Finally we get to the counter and this is when the 19 year old "shift manager" tells us she is sending the cashier on break and the register was closed. We ask her what we are suppose to do and she gives us a condescending look and tell us any other register. Keep in mind they had four other girls behind the counter all goofing off, chatting to each other, and on their phones. Not a single one of them hails us to let us know they could help us nor did the manager. We make our way down to the far end of the counter where the other girl gives us attitude about ordering milk. We called management the next day and the general manager seemed unsympathetic and didnt even offer us an apology nor a refund/coupon. Overall this place is staffed by a bunch of immature girls who have not a single clue about customer service. Oh and they only accept cash. Pretty disappointing for an established chain.

    I typically don't eat sweets and these are the best donuts I've ever had... That should say something. The lines and hype are worth the wait! The best time to come is after midnight for no wait and ease of parking. Make sure you have cash on hand as it's cash only and when we were there the ATM inside wasn't working. The staff was extremely helpful and polite. No complaints and while you wait there are plenty of catchy signs around to keep you entertained. The signs and posted menu aren't as small as one yelper commented (smaller than an eye chart). The best deal is the voodoo dozen and it will take the guessing out of ordering (menu is available online). I'm not sure how people haven't figured that out but are creating reviews from their phones. All in all worth penny. This place is worth coming to for the experience! My husband's version thanking his son for introducing him to Voodoo: Seriously. They are deceitful little pieces of dough. You look and there's those ones that don't have frosting or cereal or candy and you're like "why would I eat one of you boring doughnuts? At some point, this doughnut Mecca will be ripped from my hands and sadness will ensue." So you grab that Boston Cream filled one. Well you don't know that at the time. All you know is that it's covered in chocolaty wonder with two white dots. "Eat me, I'm the perfect balance of sweet and fulfillment." Then you take your first bite and the chef in you instantly wonders:"how did they make a doughnut 5 times sweeter than if I had just eaten sugar??? What miracle substance brings such happiness to this 40 year old?" Then it hits you: crack. There's no other explanation other than crack cocaine. Then you realize, the doughnut is probably going to cause me to lose my job because surely I will become a slave to this wonderful concoction filled with sugar, crack cocaine, and now, all the success of my future. But that's ok. It was worth it for that 3 minutes of culinary bliss, that was a voodoo doughnut. Thank you son for starting me on this journey. I hope you will still be proud when I'm homeless in Santa Fe, begging for doughnuts on the street corner surrounded by hippies and vegans....

  • Celina B.

    Do NOT be deceived by the haters. These donuts are out of this world. Fresh as can be, not too sweet (of course they are sweet, just not sick to your stomach over sweet), good balance of dough to frosting and not as expensive as I expected. There will be a line. Expect 20-30 minutes from the door to when you are next in line. But oh that glorious moment when you are next! They have 3-4 registers running so you don't feel like you have to hurry up for all the poor schleps behind you. As everyone has said, the signs leave a lot to be desired. You can't even see them from the register, but the cashiers seem friendly and helpful. Love the variety of people waiting in line for the best donut in the world: meth heads, pastors, teenagers, families with babies. It's awesome- everyone loves donuts it seems.... I don't love the voodoo/witchy theme and I wish they had a white cream (not Bavarian!) filled variety, but other than that- worth the wait!

    Tasty donuts and interesting concept but poorly managed and they need to rethink their process. Stunning to me that the owners seem to ignore clear and obvious ways to improve their business after negative feedback from their customers. But hey--as long as you stay busy--who cares, right? Overall, I recommend giving it a try for the experience but I won't be coming back unless service improves. If I want to wait in 50 minute lines, I'll go to Disneyland.

    I have been hearing about this place for years on TV about how good the doughnuts were so when I heard thy had a shop in Denver I had to go. I went today for a dessert on my anniversary and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN EVERYTHING THIS SHOP OFFERED!!!! I went into the shop and pretty much knew what I wanted but the girl at the cash register said to order from her when i was ready while not looking up at me, folding boxes (which they were not busy at all so no need for the lack of customer service)....... I order 3 doughnut and at $4.00 which was ok. I order the voodoo doughnut, a french cruller cake style, and a blunt doughnut. When I ordered the girl lack expression and looked down folding her box so no positive reflection there! When I tried the doughnuts when i got home I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE TASTE!!! NOT SWEET! NOT FLUFFY! NOT DELICIOUS! Tasted old and stale. The doughnuts were not sweet, dry, thick and somewhat bready. I am so displeased with the taste I threw the doughnuts away after one bite of each. The doughnuts also tasted as id they had been sitting out in the air allllll day long. I CAN HONESTLY SAY A KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN VOODOO DOUGHNUTS!! I wanted to love this place but I will never been going back due to the lack of flavor on their specialty items doughnuts! i HAVE WORKED AT A BAKERY FOR YEARS AND HAVE NEVER TASTED A DOUGHNUT SO BAD! ........................... 7-ELEVEN DOUGHNUTS TASTE BETTER UNFORTUNATELY TOTALLY LET DOWN FROM VOODOO DOUGHNUTS IN DENVER!

    Maybe the best donuts in Denver, but far from the best donuts I ever had. Denver is not known for its donut mastery as a whole, unless there is some other place I don't know about that is making even passable donuts. Most Denver donut shops are sort of pathetic. This one is better in comparison to the total lack of anything else. Stuff I liked: The donuts. They are acceptable. Stuff I disliked: A) The ultra-super-mega-hipster staff with their slouchy hats, skin tight pants, lack of social skills, and minimal work ethic. One girl behind the counter carried around her bovine cud (I mean green shake) in a glass jar everywhere she went and was constantly sipping on it rather than, say, working. She also made about 12 trips to the donut racks for each customer rather than taking the box back and filling it once. Not very hygienic, not very smart, and not a very good employee considering the line was out the door. She was but one example... B) The line. C) The displays on the television screens that advertise their donuts are in no way related to the way the donuts are listed on the cash registers. The result of this oversight is that when you inevitably point to a donut on the screen and ask about it, the staff have to crane their neck and see what it is you are asking about because they have no idea what that corresponds to on their register. Very lame and a waste of everyone's time. Don't have a sign if the information on it is useless. D) The line.

  • Daniel C.

    Had these doughnuts on three separate occasions because visitors want to see what the excitement is about. I've tried the following: grape ape diablos rex dirt marshall mathers old dirty bastard mexican hot chocolate the loop doughnut bacon maple bar Each experience has been consistent: - line takes about 20-30 minutes - staff doesn't seem to care about customers - over priced - doughnuts that really aren't even decent You are paying for a marketing gimmick and that's how they rope people in. Here's how the thought process goes: 1. Wow, constantly long line, must be good! 2. Well, I waited for half an hour, guess I better buy a dozen and some crazy ones ($20) for doughnuts!! Jeebuz!! 3. Dang this place is VERY inefficient, why are the employees moving slow as molasses to fill my order? 4. Oh, that's what makes the line stay out the door... this must be on purpose!! 5. YAY, let's taste these doughnuts!!! 6. I feel like I just got scammed because these doughnuts taste nasty :-( 7. I'm never coming back!! 8. Overzealous friend convinces you to go back.... and the process starts again... Note: Don't be fooled by toppings that would normally be crunchy (fruit loops, dirt, old dirty bastard, etc...). After sitting on frosting a few hours, the topping actually becomes stale and almost soggy. I would recommend going to safeway buying a dozen doughnuts and several boxes of cereal/toppings to sprinkle on yourself. You'll get better tasting doughnuts and probably save yourself some money and time. Another alternative is Krispy Kreme which beats this place hands down any day of the week.

    This place definitely lived up to the hype. Fun atmosphere and the donuts are freaking delicious. I honestly don't mind paying $16 for a dozen because it's a special occasion and I usually only go down there once a month or so also great service

    Well I never got a chance to try a doughnut and I do not think I will go back, this place is a mess. Let's remember we are talking doughnuts here. They are already cooked and waiting in trays to be put in boxes, not a difficult task. I had to drop daughter off at East HS for a SAT test but got there 40 minutes early and decided to try a doughnut, the line was out the door at 7 am Saturday. We waited for over thirty minutes and saw maybe (6) six people gets served and about that many just leave without purchase. I saw no one at all get served for the first 10 minutes or more that I waited, but I did see employees, whom I must categorize politely as doofus morons, and fat chicks standing around talking to each other, ignoring customers while the line went out the door. Three registers and only one was open and that was operated by the doofus, finally an employee/manager showed up and actually started taking orders but by then it was too late, had to go. fifteen peopel still in fron t of us when we left. Lousy, lousy management of the front end... I was incredulous at the intense lack of urgency in responding to customers, sorry hype is hype but this place is a waste of time ( plus who are these people who enjoy waiting in line and talk about it as if it was fun?)??

    My girlfriend and I finally were able to check out Voodoo Doughnuts, so we went at 430 in the morning. No line just a girl at the front register. She was super friendly and helped us out with the overwhelming amounts of donuts to choose from. I kid you not while I am writing this review I am eating one of their donuts right now. Must go!!!!

    Overly sweet. I am not sure what the fuss is about. I thought maybe the fuss was about the fun "deco" on the doughnuts but as I opened my pink box, I only saw a mess. It was almost turd-like. It looked sticky and gooey. It looked like a good 'Hoarders' episode where all the clutter spilled out of a small closet and landed into a cake box. It was not even cute or funny...it was just plain horrific. It looked worst than voodoo itself. Skip the 45mins line and get yourself some donuts from Walmart (which by the way, taste less sweet and are a lot cheaper)

  • Heather L.

    Okay, I'm typically even-natured. And likely still am... BUT - I was super disappointed x2 in VooDoo. A longtime fan of the Portland shop, I eagerly awaited their opening. Here is my completely honest response: Visit #1 - I'd rather have a freshly made melt-in-your mouth plain glazed donut than a relatively stale one covered in candy. The foundation has to equal or exceed the topping. Visit #2 - When it takes one cashier an hour to help 12 customers (NOT exaggerating) and only 1 of 3 registers is open, the line out the door is either inexcusably poor mismanagement or publicity stunt. Not sure I can rally for a 3rd try.

  • Denver B.

    Been waiting to visit since the opening but everytime (four) I drove by the line was way out the door and down the block. Recently we drove by and the line was relatively short. Only... a twenty minute wait and we were at the counter and ordering. Ok... the traditional doughnuts were very good. Glazed, chocolate covered, cream filled Portland, cruellers, buttermilk bar... excellent. The best by far were the raspberry filled jelly doughnuts. These were absolutely superb. The price was fifteen bucks including tax and tip for nine doughnuts. Not bad! Problem here is the parking which is tough and the long lines. Otherwise. .. Voodoo makes great doughnuts. Be advised, there are a lot of really stoned people on line here. Most are really mellow and patient. If you can handle a myriad of stoned folks it's a fun scene. If not you could feel out of place here. Enjoy the experience! We did.

    The doughnuts here are incredible. My wife dared me to order the c*ck and b*lls, not thinking I'd have the testicular fortitude to do it. Which I did, along with the bacon maple and the "Captain, My Captain." The c*ck and b*lls were for my wife, so I can't speak as to how that doughnut was, but my wife seemed pretty satisfied from it. I, on the other hand, really enjoyed the bacon maple and captain, my captain.

    After waiting in a line for an hour on Sunday early afternoon, we finally get home with a dozen of donuts. My husband and I had already been to VooDoo in Portland so we were excited to see it open another location in the neck of our woods! First of all, it is a soft opening so come with a huge dose of patience. Because I already experienced VooDoo in Portland which has been there for years and have learned to run the business efficiently, I couldn't help but compare the service. The line was extremely slow moving, and the staff were not moving fast enough. Hence the missing 5th star. It's no wonder people were coming out with a doZen or more donuts to justify the long wait. I think they need more staff to back the cashiers. 2nd, the menu on the boards are TOO small to read-I suspect that's another factor causing the traffic jam. People don't get a chance to decide while waiting in the line so by the time they get to the cashier, they take a few more minutes to look closely at the display and talk with the cashier about the donuts. While I was waiting, I couldn't believe how some people were taking the time to make the orders. So a suggestion:: make the print on the menu boards bigger. 3rd, my husband and I are American Sign Language users, and we had difficulty understanding the guy cashier. We typed everything we wanted in our iPhone, and when he communicated back, he just mumbled under his mustache. He said something about one particular donut that was out, and he was not clear. What would helpful for Deaf/Hard of Hearing people is to have a laminated donut menu handy by the registrar so we could point which donuts we wanted instead of trying to point the correct donut in the moving display. Not only would it be efficient for the communication between Deaf/HH people and cashiers but it would also benefit everyone in making the orders faster. For some reason, when we ordered the cannoli looking donuts with orange sprinkles (vegan), the cashier did initially put two of those in the box but then without my knowledge, removed them. I don't know what happened but I think the staff should make more of an effort in ensuring the communication with deaf/HH people is clear! I believe in VooDoo! The donuts are amazing. Just some tweaks here and there in the service aspect.

    While the doughnuts here are top-notch, the line is typically out of control. Plus, the staff is painstakingly slow in dealing with each customer. To order a dozen doughnuts that the staff chooses still seems to take about 10 minutes. The service, while slow, is helpful and friendly in spite of the long lines. The maple bacon doughnut is by far my favorite, followed closely by the Portland Creme. The typical doughnuts are fantastic as well. If the line is not out of the door, it definitely is worth the wait. Otherwise, you're better off trying to get in another day. By the way, this is a cash-only establishment. Don't forget to bring a $20, as you'll want to spend that much in the store.

    Great donuts that come in tons of variety and taste great. Open 24/7 so you can get your fix any time. The downside is the line is usually pretty long and they don't take cash.

    Yelp defines 2 stars as "Meh. I've experienced better", and this is exactly the description for Voodoo. I am a fan of the Bacon and Mango doughnuts. The rest, not so much. The mango tango has a sour coating and a good jelly filling, while the bacon doughnut is a freakin' bacon doughnut (hint: it's good). The rest are childish imaginations of what can be put on a doughnut. For instance, the grape ape just tastes like someone melted artificial grape candy and mixed it into the frosting. YUCK. Combine this with a wait longer than that of a recreational marijuana store in January '14, mediocre service and abysmally small menus that are completely illegible, and you end up with 2 stars.

    Meh. I think this place is all hype and everyone is just bought into it. Aside from the stale toppings (cereal, oreos, etc) it's a very basic doughnut. "But the maple bacon bar!" Anyone can throw bacon on something and make it delicious. It takes a lot more to make a doughnut stand on its own and these don't.

    Voodoo doughnuts is a great doughnut maker! I highly recommend the voodoo doll, Oreo doughnut, and maple bacon bar! Highly recommended business!!!!!!!!! Must visit when in Portland!!

  • Sarah S.

    The apple fritter is out of control delicious. The maple bars are a close second. I don't care for the bacon on the maple bars; I don't like crunchy business on my soft, melt-in-your-mouth donuts. That being said, the novelty of the Oreo donut was fun, although I don't think I'd order another unless I stumbled in drunk (hello, 24/7 Voodoo Doughnut shop!) The peach fritter would have been a hell of a lot better to me if it wasn't slathered in frosting. That seemed like overkill. The prices were a bit steep, but those apple fritters make it all worth it. I would be a broke fucking blob if I lived near this place because I would pay the prices for a weekly dozen of those fritters. I could go on and on about those things...

    I have heard rave reviews about this place, and so I drove all the way from the suburbs to have something special for a party I was throwing. Unfortunately I ended up at Aimee's register (thank you for the name on my $32.25 receipt!). Why spend that much on doughnuts for goodness sake??! Because they are great. But I I would spend double that to never end up being helped by Aimee again. She was rude. There wasn't even anybody in line behind me and she was annoyed by anything I asked or said. She totally ruined my experience and even managed to tell a coworker right in front of me how "done" she was with the day and wanted to go home. A happy doughnut experience totally slimed by an unhappy unprofessional employee. Doughnuts = good! Service = crap.

  • Dean S.

    PROS: They physically have donuts They taste freshly made CONS: The main flavor in all the donuts we got was hype It was just about $15 for 6 donuts We had to wait in line for almost 40 minutes Cash only No parking Blasphemously stuffy inside. All in all its a regular donut you could get anywhere, it just has cereal, candy or a funny design on it. Dunkin donuts is supremely better. I will not be revisiting.

    (2)

  • Morgan W.

    This is all you really need to know: They only take cash. You will wait forever, probably. The service is slow. The flip side of this is due to the fact the menu is unreadable from the line, you will not get hassled or unnecessarily rushed by the checker so, ya know, gotta take the good with the bad. The donuts are not gourmet but they are DAMN GOOD. Maybe I'm just another Portlandia-watching, leggings-and-Cons-wearing, iPhone-5-owning, web-programming hipster who really really likes this place. Wait. Yes. I am. No apologies.

  • Tatiana B.

    Hit or miss with freshness. Sometimes the donuts with cereal taste old, sometimes amazing. For the cost of the donuts, they should except cards! Lots of selection, something for everyone. It's in the city so parking is nonexistent. Been a few times, and twice the staff hasn't been super friendly or willing to describe what some of the donuts are; I usually end up on their website reading description while in line. :/

  • Brandon K.

    What a cool idea for a doughnut shop! Everything about this place is an experience. From waiting in line like you're waiting on buying concert tickets, to the train whistle they blow when it's your turn and the many types of delicious and oddly named (some not mother approved) doughnuts. Even if you wouldn't normally spend time to stand in a line (sometimes a big line) for a box of doughnuts, I would recommend doing it at least once. They taste great and it's a fun time. I will be coming back.

  • Allison Y.

    this is one of those places that you have to visit if you're from out of town, even though you know it's probably not going to be that good. i thought i was smart by going at 2am to avoid the line but nope there is most definitely still a line at that hour. the first night (yes, i went two nights in a row, don't judge me) i was pleasantly surprised by the flavors we ordered. as expected, the actual doughnut itself was not that great- tastes like something you can get at any shop. however, the arnold palmer cake doughnut was so good. just the right amount of icing with a little tangy lemon flavor and a slightly subdued tea flavor. the portland creme yeast doughnut was so ridiculously heavy and chocolatey but SO delicious. the toasted coconut cake doughnut had great flavor and texture as well the second night was disappointing -the grape had WAY too much icing on it. i tried to scrape it off but ended up destroying the doughnut instead. the colfax creme was not as good as its portland cousin. the neapolitan had no discerning flavors that indicated it was neapolitan. the cruller was disgusting lol don't ever get that

    I am not a donut person but I gotta say, I'm coming back to this place. Got dragged to this lovely piece of Denver at about 11 at night. There was a very little wait time and the donuts were fantastic. Yes, while cash only is a little bit of a pain, if they accepted credit cards we would all have twice as much debt.;)

  • Mike E.

    This place has good doughnuts... that's about it for the positives. Doughnuts are always good, I am happy to get them anywhere else to avoid the aggravation and stupidity of the process. They intentionally create a line by providing TERRIBLE service. They have many (10+) people on the clock and one person working the register / serving the doughnuts. The other employees are the only ones in the store having a good time laughing, joking and "taking breaks". There were 10 customers in front of me so I figured we would be served quickly... 45 mins later I had my 6 doughnuts - 2 of which were not what I ordered. I have no problem waiting for something because the demand is so high, but this was absolutely ridiculous! I watched 6 people leave the store and 10 people buy doughnuts, I don't see how a business can function like that. I truly hope something is done about this and VooDoo management makes some changes for future customers because they absolutely lost one on Saturday morning... And based on my conversations in line - they lost much more than that!

  • Ed K.

    Not a fan. Service is somewhat cold and unfriendly. Doughnuts are ok but nothing special. Just goofy names and toppings. Price is high and flavor and texture is average at best. Not worth the wait or price. Parking impossible and cash only. The Pink Box is a great marketing tool I'll give them that. I won't be back anytime soon.

  • Lisa L.

    Is it a requirement of Hipster Culture that establishments ensure their own convenience to see how much baloney the public will swallow? Yeah, I went to Voodoo Donuts and instead of waiting, some friends came out with a couple dozen and offered me one. It was more than enough -- I imagine the gutters in that neighborhood are littered with half-eaten grease and sugar bombs. So I looked at their website: no prices, few pictures of the product, endless rambling about how unique and special they are, and notice that they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. I guess those are the days the staff rests and the business doesn't need revenue. I've read several reviews, and it appears that it takes longer to get donuts here than to get drinks at a packed bar anywhere else in Denver. Is that acceptable? We'll see if things change a little in a few months.

    legit doughnuts...if you go at random times you don't have to worry about the line. Always fresh tasting and yummy. Vibe is always good, even when there is a line.

  • Rene M.

    The donuts are good, tasty. Dough itself doesn't stand out unlike some other places (where they are more yeasty). At other places, donuts are really fresh. Here the toppings make the donuts stand out. We did try the maple bacon which is the most distinct and signature. Others are covered in cereal or Oreo cookies, etc. The ranking is due to: Long wait. 45 minutes. Line starts outside and then moves inside half to two thirds of wait is inside. Not really worth the wait. Menu is impossible to read. These monitors mounted on top are too small to read. As newbies to the establishment, it provides little guidance. There are nice display cases showing all the donuts, but they are not labeled. Cost. The donuts are definitely overpriced. A glazed donut costs $1. Most donuts are so much more than that. The maple bacon costs more than $2. Some donuts cost $3-5 each. Lack of service. The people at the counters are just so blah. After waiting for 45 minutes, they make no attempt to be helpful. Not very friendly at all. They very much have a "take it or leave it" attitude - could care less about your business. In the end, the utility or how much you enjoy the donuts is very low. For the price, the wait, the lack of service, these are not that amazing of donuts. You are not eating a piece of high art. Place is overhyped. If you want a quick donut fix, you are better off elsewhere.

    I love Voodoo Doughnut! I went to college in a small city outside of Portland, Oregon and every time we took a trip to Portland (which wasn't often) we always had to stop at Voodoo. When I moved down to Colorado after college, I was missing Voodoo like crazy. When I found out they were looking to open a shop outside of Portland, and picked Denver, I was beyond stoked. My husband and I waited a few months after their grand opening to check out the new shop. We decided to go around 1am on the weekend, thinking it wouldn't be too busy. When we got there we happened to get a parking spot on the street the shop was on (a true score because parking is lacking). The line was out the door, and we waited a good 45-60 min before placing our order, but it was totally worth it. The doughnuts were just as delicious as the ones I got in Portland!! :D

  • Brad M.

    As someone who grew up in the PNW, Voodoo is like the Northwest's best secret. It's Portland's craft brew of choice! Every time I'm in Seattle I try to make it a trip down to Portland, both because I love the city and I have friends there, but because I can pick up one or two of these awesome, delicious works of art. Hell, I became an ordained minister BECAUSE of Voodoo. But holy cow, Batman! Denver's operations is sucking hardcore. I haven't had a donut yet because every time I try it takes me 30 minutes to move 10 feet closer to the door. I love you Voodoo, but please, find someone whose management capabilities extend beyond an Elementary Cafeteria in a one-room school house. Here is a thought: Until the craze dies down, restrict the number of dozens someone can buy. I have seen people carrying out 5-6 boxes. My money says they're reselling somewhere. If you can't do that, have two lines: one for those buying 7 or more, and another for those buying 6 or less. That way those of us who want to grab a couple and run can do so quickly.

  • Tres B.

    Even When Iived in Portland 8 years ago, I thought Voo Doo was over-hyped. It still is. Making donut weirder doesn't make it better. It makes it clever, but not delicious. Frankly, Winchell's is better, just not hipster. Conceptually Voo Doo donuts is fantastic. Taste-wise, its OK.

  • Mitch G.

    Voodoo's doughnuts were definitely worth the wait. These doughnuts rank right up there with the best I've had and blow generic doughnuts out of the water. The maple bacon bar probably took at least 10 minutes off my life expectancy, but I'm totally fine with (and would do it again). And finally, that pink box is probably the best way to incite jealousy in anyone within shouting distance.

    These doughnuts are almost too good. I take that back; they're definitely too good. I've eaten about a thousand of them since this place opened not even a year ago. Highlights are the Mango Tango and the Voodoo Doll.

    I used to travel to Portland weekly for work and would occasionally swing by the original location if I had time in between appointments and a hankering for a unique donut. Needless to say, I was anxious to hit up their first store outside OR. The management of this store has picked up substantially since it was originally opened months ago. It was a total hot mess when it first opened because of the poor service and improperly staffed counter. They created their own line which is what I think their intent was all along. Fast forward a few months to today and they have tasty donuts served quickly enough to not annoy the heck out of their patrons. The flavors are generally old favorites with new spins but I don't think the spins always work. I still like my classic dirt donut (oreo) but outside of that, I can't find another donut on their vast menu that really strikes me as mind blowing. I guess I've seen it done before by this point. I'm happy it's here but I don't think I'll go out of my way like I did when I was in Portland. For me, there are better donuts in town.

    Had to have this as soon as I heard it was coming here! I first heard about this shop from the travel channel's Man vs. Food. I love doughnuts and this place has some pretty great ones! They serve fresh doughnuts all day...I know because my friends one day got their like 3 hour old doughnuts in a bucket, a huge bucket for a deal! Got to try all the flavors :) My favorite would have to be the Miami Vice. I am a huge lover of fruit and fruit flavored sweets. So with the Miami Vice having a berry icing, it was delicious and tasted well made (the frosting) and the doughnut itself was tasty. This place is all about getting a themed doughnut especially their voodoo doll one, which is great for fun! Highly recommended!

    People who give this place 1 star because of the line are completely nuts. Guys, they JUST opened. Give them a break! Let's rate them on the taste and the customer service. Their donuts are great. The Rice Krispie one is my favorite. The menu is really hard to read (and I have 20/20 vision), so they should increase their font size on those TV screens. But the donuts are great, and the girl who checked us out was super friendly and nice. We are very happy to have them in the neighborhood! Be patient, and drive past at different times of the day (if you can) and I'm sure you'll be able to get in the door. The line moves faster than you think!

  • Cheyne M.

    If you like sugar, eat up. These doughnuts are pretty amazing (probably the best I've had in my life) and their creativity is through the roof. The location is difficult to get to, but I believe Voodoo likes that aspect. It creates scarcity and emphasizes extra effort to get your fix. To me, 4-Stars for a doughnut shop is like 5-Stars at a gourmet restaurant. So, this 4-Star rating is like a 5-Star rating, got it?!? Now shove that Bacon-Maple Doughnut down your gullet and tell your "diet" to go f#ck itself!

    Nice, clean, and unique shop. The customer service I received was very good, everyone working there (and customers) had big smiles on their faces. As soon as I got into my car I tried the Captain Crush donut.....so damn good. If you have a love for donuts, definitely try it out.

  • Austen H.

    So I happened to make a snap choice to go to Voodoo on a day when it wasn't so busy. We waited in line maybe 20 minutes and there were nice people to chit chat with. My husband used to bring these back from portland when he traveled and they are as good as I remember. I am super thrilled they are here. I could eat a voodoo man every day but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the no name. It's worth a small line and I intend on checking out the bucket of day olds to see if they do okay here because of the altitude so we'll see. I'm glad they are here I'm glad that I get to go there. I'll go back I'll take friends...Parking though...BLOWS you can get towed from anywhere around there so be careful and pay your meter

  • Tiffany H.

    AMAZING!!! Way better than Krispy Kreme. Each doughnut probably has 5000 calories, but they are worth every bite! Cash only and there will probably be a little bit of a wait. Reasonably priced; you can get a doughnut for a buck.

    After experiencing VD in Portland I was excited to find out that they were expanding to Denver. My diet wasn't happy to hear this but that's a story for another day. As others have mentioned they are in the soft open phase until mid January so you have to keep that in mind as you visit for the next few weeks. I would suggest following their Facebook page for updates on when they will be open and have doughnuts. I was able to limit my line time to 45 minutes this way so it wasn't too painful. The reward was amazing. My maple bacon bar was sweet and salty and every bit as decadent as I remember. I also enjoyed the dirty snowball and a simple cake doughnut with vanilla frosting and sprinkles. I am a sucker for sprinkles!! Very good advice by previous reviewers to check out the menu before you go or on your phone as you are in line because the print on their menu board is ridiculously small. Cash only. Although they do have an ATM onsite for doughnut emergencies. I will be returning as soon as I wake up from my sugar coma.

    After waiting 2+HOURS in line and absorbing the Voodoo sexualized hype, I sucked it all in and was anticipating a most satisfying and extremely sensual donut experience. (almost left several times yet stuck it out to enjoy the full monty so-to-speak) After it was over and the sheets went in the wash, my overall opinion of the taste of the offerings here is a limp 2.5 stars-a most anti-climactic liaison...is that IT?! (to be kind, and for the show, I rounded this review up to 3) Don't get me wrong, the donuts are ok but nothing special-seriously I don't see what the fuss is about here. I shared my haul with a few friends who all wondered "WHY would you wait in LINE for THESE?!!" (keep in mind there was not one marijuana enthusiast in the group) After waiting that long to obtain said donuts I was secretly hoping my temporarily sticky and satiated mood would linger, however naught. The worst part was with over 100 people lined up outside they had 2 inexperienced girls serving customers. Yep-TWO, there were several other staffers milling about yet seemingly ignoring the increasing swell of the sweaty, donut-hungry mob. Bottom line-it took FOREVER for each customer, so plan accordingly if you have anywhere to be-like a job. Also bring binoculars--as the not-really-description boards are Barbie-sized and so far from where they are having people wait that not one of us could read them in advance--resulting in more explaining from the counter girls who had to go look up EVERY flavor ONE by ONE. No joke-and each customer was buying at least a dozen-if not several so...do the math, wait your turn and try to sustain your excitement. Finally I purchased several flavors including the M&M//Marshall Mathers $1.50(ok-very sweet), Chocolate Coconut$1.10(good-not overly sweet), Raspberry Powdered $1.90(good), Chocolate Dipped Cruller$1.35(my favorite of the bunch), Chocolate Raised(meh-skip), the Grape Ape $1.75(yuk BUT if you love grape bubble gum-get it) and the "piece de resistance"....the Cock n'Balls donut weighing in@$5.70! (cock blocked--it was semi-erect and all smushed by the clerk putting other donuts on top of it, WtH? retail 101) For nearly six bucks I would like my Cock n'Balls to have its own um...pink box! It was creme filled-but it all tasted just like grocery-store bought, so depending on your level of desperation you may want to pass on that mess. VD wants to project "fun" (obviously easier when under the influence of something) and now that Denver has legal pot-many will enjoy this one stop East Colfax shopping strip. Tattoos, donuts, pot and skateboards in whichever order suits you. This now Voodoo filled area is enjoying a much needed increase in activity with varying lines daily-and Voodoos hours soon to be swelling to 24/7. Oh my. Living just west of this location, I am happy Voodoo has chosen to open up and offer her pink box to everyone in Denver. (no slut-shaming intended). Not to mention the enticing "now-baking" donut aroma that now wafts through the hood is an added calorie, sugar, gluten-FREE bonus. I imagine Voodoo will be a tourist destination for many years, not unlike our other girly PINK treasure/landmark...Casa Bonita! Look for the pink building, pink neon and enjoy mediocre donuts in pink boxes for all!! (as for me, did it-no need to repeat a one-night stand) I was recently informed that they actually make "doughnuts not donuts", got that? Oh and don't forget..."cash only man".
