    Super fresh   and fluffy, not too sweet. Love the apple fritter and cinnamon roll.
    Crystal H.

    Biting into this donut felt like a little celebration warm, soft, and perfectly fresh. The outside has just the right delicate crispness, while the inside melts into a pillowy sweetness. Every bite is light yet rich, the glaze balanced without being overly sugary. Simply put: fresh, delicious, and impossible to stop at just one.

    The store is a gem. It's a nice mom and Pop shop owned by a really nice family. I highly recommend going here and supporting our local businesses not to mention their donuts are better than anything in the area. They are large and have lots of icing on top they make them fresh every morning if you go when they open, they have nice warm ones, I will definitely come back here.

    Clean. Gentleman at front counter was hospitable, welcoming and friendly. Service with a smile. Delicious variety of donuts for my staff.

    I have been to dozens of donut shops for the breakfast sandwiches, and this place is one of the best ones I have had in a while. Seriously their croissant sandwich is super good and HUGE. The coffee here is just right and the donuts are fabulous. I highly recommend this doughnut shop it's amazing.

    This place is amazing me and family go at least once a week. If I could I would come everyday but I would get too fat. They have an amazing community and the people who work here are so sweet and are very caring. We love this place so much. If you're ever in need of a good donut or sandwich this is your place.

    We drove all the way from Las Vegas to here just for this croissant. You eat one of these and everything is right in the world.

Cinnamon roll - best Ive had out of all the ones I've had in CA and AZ. They do not cut corners and even use brown butter for their cinnamon sugar filling! Cruffins - fun to look at and fun to eat; can't go wrong with any of them! Cookies - white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate chip, gluten-less chocolate cookies ... now these are cookies! If I had to bet, I'm pretty sure they weigh as much or even more than the famous NY Levain cookies. Strawberry and cream croissant - croissant stuffed with whipped cream and slices of fresh strawberrh; do yourself a favor and just try this!

    Came on a Saturday noon, and it was not too busy. All the pastries were laid out for you to see and…read morethey all looked super yummy. The store is small and there's no seating. The pastries are definitely on the higher-priced side and we weren't too hungry, so we opted for the strawberry croissant since it was the last one left. I was hoping to try their cinnamon roll, as it looked amazing and had a selection of flavors to pick from. The lady who helped us was friendly and packed the croissant for me, and we took it to go. The strawberry croissant had some vanilla cream along with strawberry slices in the center cut of the croissant. The cream was nice, light, and not overly sweet, which tasted great with the strawberry. The croissant was a little disappointing, as it wasn't flaky, very dense, and on the softer side. It still had a good buttery flavor but overall it was mid. As we continued eating, I ended up chewing on something plasticky, and I believe it might have been the front cut of a plastic piping bag. I'm glad it was a fairly small piece or else I probably would have swallowed it...It is disappointing that a big piece of plastic ended up in the cream where no one had caught it during the process of making it.

All of the donuts were super fresh, extremely fluffy, and so tasty, while the case and the rest of the shop was well maintained and clean...it's obvious a great amount of heart and care goes into their operation. We chose a variety of apple fritters, donut holes, old fashions, custard-filled, glazed, chocolate, maple, and a cinnamon crunch, cinnamon roll, and sugar twist donut along with a breakfast sandwich. Talk about choices! I mentioned to Sophia that I had a certain allergy and she immediately offered to special make a modified breakfast option for me without hesitation.

My fiancée & I had seen Parlor Doughnuts numerous times after the Oceanside Sunset Market. & every single 1 of those times, we were already too full from grazing at all the food stands by then to give it a try. So on a Saturday afternoon, when we just happened to be nearby, we popped in for some impulse buy doughnuts. With a staggering variety of delicious looking toppings/ flavors, the possibilities looked enticingly intriguing. Staff behind the counter was friendly attentive, & helpful. Although there are some savory options available, which seemed to me like pizza toppings on doughnuts, we stuck with sweet: maple bacon & bourbon caramel. Tried & true flavor combinations, both. But the dough, whoa. For starters, the 2 doughnuts we got didn't have holes. That actually makes a difference in how the doughnut cooks. Secondly, the dough ate more like bread dough than a doughnut. Doughnuts have a hole for a reason. You see, it's physics, son. When you consider how thermodynamics affects an oblate spheroid vs. a toroidal sphere, it becomes evident that a doughnut without a hole will not cook evenly throughout inside. In fact, this was specifically proven on MasterChef Canada Season 8, Episode 8 during a doughnut pressure test. In that episode, Andres forgot to put holes in his doughnuts & they were undercooked in the center. Hey, I did start this review with admitting I'm a nerd who watches too many cooking competition shows. Uniform doneness aside, there was also the breadiness. If I'd been told these doughnuts were some kind of new take on Pan Dulce, maybe I would've liked them more. But given the expectation of a doughnut, what I tried at Parlor Doughnuts just wasn't it. The staff was great, & the toppings were fine. But with the word "dough" literally in the name of the product, to come up short there leaves something to be desired.
