HeyDay (also known as Heyday) is a doughnut shop in Portland, Oregon.[1]
Description
The doughnut shop HeyDay operates in Portland, specializing in mochi donuts. Doughnuts are made with wheat and rice flour;[2] most are fried, though the ube variety is baked.[3] The nonya kaya doughnuts have pandan.[4] Other varieties have included baked apple, black sesame, and ca phe sua (Vietnamese coffee).[5] Doughnuts are topped with various crumbles, frostings, or glazes using Southeast Asian ingredients such as coconut sweet corn, passionfruit,[6] and yuzu.[7] HeyDay also makes bear-shaped cake doughnuts and other baked goods such as biscuits and danishes.[8]
History
Lisa Nguyen started HeyDay as a pop-up restaurant in May 2020,[2][9] during the COVID-19 pandemic,[5] initially selling at local cafes and tea shops such as Portland Cà Phê. In 2021, HeyDay collaborated with restaurant Hat Yai and XLB for the food festival Feast Portland. In August, Nguyen announced plans to move into the food cart pod Collective Oregon Eateries in southeast Portland's Lents neighborhood.[6] In October, HeyDay participated in the Portland edition of Bakers Box, a project highlighting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) bakers in various U.S. cities; the Portland event was hosted by Berlu and featured 18 businesses.[10] In 2022, HeyDay was a vendor at the Tiget Tiger music festival.[11]
HeyDay opened at Collective Oregon Eateries in May 2023.[9] In August, the business partnered with ice cream company Salt & Straw to sell pandan cream sodas with vanilla ice cream to raised funds for victims of the 2023 Hawaii wildfires. HeyDay also donated a portion of profits made from waffle specials: cornmeal cheese-bacon rice flour waffle with gochujang honey; rice flour waffle with brie and fig jam; ube; or matcha with maple syrup and condensed milk.[12]
