    This is a great lunch alternative from the regular tired fare. Everything is homemade and made to order.

    I'm glad that this coffee house is around because my husband and I had a great experience at Around…read moreCafe. We went in on a Saturday afternoon and there were a fair number of people there while we were around. I ordered the hot chocolate. I found it rich and creamy. My husband got the iced black coffee and he enjoyed it. I enjoyed Around Cafe and hope the stick around for a long time!

    I'm not a cake donut fan, so I was a bit hesitant when I first came in and when I tell you, I'm…read moreforever changed.... I mean it. The flaky pillowy donuts from Parlor live rent free, I cannot tell you how many times I've been back for both sweet and savory donuts that I was shocked I have yet to write a review. The strawberry donut and the fig and pig donuts are my repeats always, but I love to try the seasonal ones as well. They have plenty of parking outside the shop, but it does get busy when they get busy during peak times. The donuts are made fresh daily and you can taste the quality. You also can't go wrong with any of their fun drinks! Also if you come back often be sure to download the app for fun rewards and perks. I know I've been racking up my points every time I come by

I ordered a dozen (good value because saves you $1 per donut, coming out to $39/dozen). The texture of the donut is fluffy and flaky, similar to a cronut. Fruit flavor donuts are always a highlight for me, so I loved the strawberry shortcake and lemon. I didn't get a chance to try the raspberry jelly or raspberry pistachio, but my family loved them. I also really liked the chocolate peanut butter donut. One donut that I advise against is the Chicago special with brownie batter filling, this was extremely messy. However, it might've been better if the donut was refrigerated and the filling less runny. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying the savory donuts, specifically the deep dish pizza and pig and fig.
