Portland's Baker's Dozen Fest Pairs Coffee Beers, Doughnuts for 10th Year

Ten years in, Baker's Dozen Coffee, Beer & Doughnut Fest is bringing back some of its original lineup to mark the milestone. The 10th annual edition lands on Saturday, April 11, at The ZED at Zoiglhaus, 5716 SE 92nd Ave. in Southeast Portland, running from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The format that organizer Grand Craft Beer has run since 2015 keeps the same symmetry: 13 breweries, 13 coffee roasters, and 13 doughnut bakeries, each pairing counts as one entry in a baker's dozen. Admission covers 3-oz pours of all 13 coffee-infused beers, samples of the specific roasts used in brewing them, and a doughnut from each of the 13 bakeries. The beers are brewed with the partnered roaster's coffee rather than just served alongside it, which is what separates this from a generic coffee-and-beer pairing event.

For the 10th anniversary, several inaugural-year beers are returning to the pour list. Gigantic brings back Too Much Coffee Man, Laurelwood returns with Cold Brewed Coffee Stout, McMenamins is pouring On Caravan Turkish Coffee Brown, and Oakshire comes up from Eugene with what the festival is billing as the "jaw-dropping Orange Mocha Frappuccino" — which is actually Overcast: Café Borgia Stout. Three other year-one breweries are back with new recipes: Breakside with a Honey Nut Mocha Porter, Bend's Boneyard with Heavy Eyes (a coffee'd Czech dark lager), and Kell's with a Coffee Cream Ale.

The confirmed bakery roster for 2026 includes Angel's Doughnuts (formerly Tonalli's), Annie's Donuts, Blue Star Donuts, Delicious Donuts, JoNuts from Albany, Helen Bernhard Bakery, Mochinut, Sesame Donuts, Too Sweet Cakes, and Yanni's Loukoumades, with the organizers noting that specific doughnuts are subject to change.

Proceeds benefit All Hands Raised, a nonprofit committed to improving education for children and youth throughout Multnomah County, with a focus on racial equality in Portland public schools.

Tickets are $40 in advance at BakersDozenFest.com or $50 at the door if any remain — the event sells out annually, so the walk-up option is far from guaranteed. The name itself is a nod to old bakery custom: when a customer bought a dozen, the baker would throw in one extra as thanks, making 13.
