Nick Wichman: Grab a Brie, Basil, and Bacon Waffle! Read more.
Cheapism: Just like it sounds, waffles from a window. Try the Three B's (bacon, Brie and basil) dish at only $4.00, which features Brie slabs around three-quarters of an inch thick. Read more.
Paul Wichser: Blackberry Basil Lemonade washes down a savory Whole Farm waffle perfectly.
Melissa Lim: My favorite donuts in PDX. Skip Voodoo and come here instead for fun, sophisticated flavors, especially the Valrhona chocolate crunch, buttermilk glazed and blueberry bourbon basil.
Christine Wu: The blueberry basil blew my mind. Complex, tart, not too sweet, all on a light, springy doughnut!
Christopher B: Oh the basil berry donut is to die for
