Bigwig Donuts
Established in 2014, founder Mark Davis had a dream to create fresh donuts that were allergen friendly, but that anyone could enjoy. He and his family started doing weekly pop-ups at Archive Coffee in 2015 in Salem Oregon. In the spring of 2019 the family and the Bigwig Team expanded and created their own little brick and mortar space across the street.
One of the unique things about Bigwig Donuts is that all of their donuts are actually donut holes. And, did we say delicious! Bigwig Donuts is located at 111 Liberty St. NE in Salem.
King Donuts
It’s hard to have a conversation about donuts in Salem without talking about King Donuts. This donut shop staple is located at 1695 State Street and is typically open until they sell out.
