I stopped by on a Saturday morning after hearing so much about Donut Parade, and honestly, I left a bit underwhelmed. The dining room was almost empty when I walked in, and no one greeted me. They were playing some Kanye west music behind the counter so I thought there'd be some livelihood but... there wasn't. One of the younger employees who took my order was fine but you could tell he didn't want to be there and the person at the register seemed like they didn't really want to be there either. They weren't outright rude, but the interaction definitely wasn't welcoming and both of them mumbled and spoke so low, I had to ask them both multiple times what they were saying. I ordered two donuts and a cup of coffee, which came to $7.35. For what was a Keurig coffee with basic shelf-stable creamer, it felt overpriced. On the positive side, the donuts were good. You can tell they're handmade, and they had a nice taste. They were definitely the highlight of the visit. Maybe my expectations were too high because of all the recommendations I'd heard, but I expected a Saturday morning at such a well-known donut shop to have more energy and atmosphere. Instead, it felt surprisingly underwhelming and lacked the welcoming vibe I was hoping for. Overall, the donuts were solid, but nothing about the experience made me eager to come back. I don't regret trying it, but I also don't really understand the hype. read more

Donut Parade - Blueberry cake and a maple bar - bother were good - Donuts Near Me - Spokane, Washington

National Donut Day, Spokane style. Jalapeño fritters? Say less. Donut Parade brings the heat, the glaze, and that old-school magic. Maple bars might be the claim to fame, but if you know... you know the fritters run the show. Fabulous service if they are out of a doughnut, they will make one for you!!! What We Ordered at Donut Parade: * Pineapple Jalapeño Fritter - wild combo that hits hard. Sweet, spicy, and impossible to forget. * Peach Fritter - gooey center, crispy edges, packed with juicy peach flavor. * Maple Bar - the classic. Soft, fluffy, and slathered in rich maple glaze. * Twist - airy, sugary, and made for dunking. * Chocolate Bar + Iced Rounds - rich, fluffy, and generously glazed. * Raspberry Filled Round - tart, jammy, and totally worth the mess. * Vanilla Drizzled Round - simple, sweet, and super satisfying. * Self-Serve Coffee Station - brewed with Artco's fabulous-tasting coffee. Smooth, bold, and the perfect donut pairing. read more

I usually swing by this donut shop for a maple bar and a chocolate bar (or sometimes a chocolate donut with sprinkles, depends on the mood), and they always hit the spot. Recently tried their blueberry cake donut, and it was surprisingly good, moist, flavorful, and not too sweet. They're open 24 hours, which is a huge plus when those trendy dessert places are closed and you're craving something sweet. The variety is solid too. Check out the mixed dozen I grabbed in the photo. Whether you're into classics or want to mix it up, they've got something for everyone. One of my go-to places when the sweet tooth kicks in after hours. Definitely worth checking out! read more

We stopped in here a few weeks before school since we were in the area, and it was great! We got half a dozen. The maple bar was incredible and so was the cherry donut. All others were great, these are just the ones I got to try. I will definitely stop in again if we're ever in the area. The woman who helped us was so patient and helpful as well, I really appreciated her for engaging with us and assisting with my questions. There was lots of seating, it was easy to access and park at, we had no trouble at 7:30am. read more

This is my first time here meeting clients and just sat down maybe 3 minutes and one of the bakery staff come over and says hello have you read the sign I look at her and say no. I thought it was a menu and didn't pay attention to it. She says to me seats are for paying customers. I say to her well I just sat down here she was rude. So I said I will be a paying customer I just sat down? She's then proceeds to say well don't think your better then me! I couldn't believe her rude comment! Why would anyone put up with that! Not me! I will never come to this establishment again! Staff should never talk to customers like that! read more

Absolutely amazing spot for donuts! I was especially impressed by the unique variety of fritters, something you don't often see elsewhere. The flavors were spot on, and the jalapeño fritter was my personal favorite. There's even a retro jukebox inside, which adds a fun, nostalgic touch. Not sure if it's working since I didn't have any coins, but I loved the old-school vibe. Also, great news, they're now open 24/7 with newly posted hours! Gluten free donuts available no vegan yet, maybe in future?! read more

their gluten-friendly dairy-free friendly donuts are really good and worth the price compared to other options in the area. they taste like classic cake donuts. read more

I read some really amazing reviews about this donut shop. I went pretty early in the morning. However there was a lot of homeless in the area. The staff was welcoming and helpful with my selections. I got the chocolate donut with coffee frosting. Presentation was great. I did like the frosting. The donut was a little dense tho. The apple fritter was the most talked about on the reviews. I felt like it was over cooked. Also the oil they used tasted old. read more

Donut Parade is a part of Spokane history , and for good reason. Everyone here is super friendly, which is pretty awesome, especially in the morning when folks can be cranky. The decor is clean, fresh, and laid back, with not a bad seat in the place. But this is about donuts, my friends. So many great choices! They have all the standards, but also some crazy specials, like the pineapple jalapeno fritter. It sounds weird but holy smokes is it good! Homer Simpson would approve. Join the parade! read more

Donut Parade - Behind this label are some of the best donuts you will ever eat. - Donuts Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Service was beyond bad. The young woman behind the counter got and attitude when I ask for a particular donut and she ignored the one I wanted. I politely said that was not the donut I had pointed I wanted and the told me I had and attitude and she refused service so we left. I will never go back or take visiting friends there ever. read more

Omg the best maple bar(s) I've ever had. I had two. If only I lived closer. Under $3 for a donut, too.

We try to come to donut parade anytime we come visit Spokane, day or night, doesn't matter when because they are open 24 hours a day. The people are so nice every time we come even when they've working with the hot ovens in the hot summer heat all day. They have such a good variety of classic and specialty options. The donuts are super soft and have a definite heft to them. The other great thing is that unlike most donut places, everything is still fresh and you don't feel like you are SOL if you didn't get there super early in the morning. You can tell when you missed the window and are getting just whatever is left at other places but here, the case always have tasty options to chose from. There has only been one time we had to wait in a little bit of a line and that was on a Saturday morning but usually it's right in and right out. We usually take ours to go but there is a good amount of space to sit and enjoy as well with some coffee or other cold beverages they sell. read more

Donut Parade - 1 of 2 dozen - Donuts Near Me - Spokane, Washington

The inside was clean and had lots of room to sit and eat. The staff was friendly but seemed a little annoyed when we didn't know the protocol of telling them how many we wanted before we ordered. Which was fine but we have never been so we didn't know. Some of the doughnuts seemed under cooked but good flavor. They had some pretty unique doughnuts with good flavor. read more

This is the first time we have been here. The building is old so there is no AC and was really warm inside. We chose an Apple Fritter as let's be honest, they are the best donut option. My husband and I split one and it was a good size. The favors were good and we LOVED the big chunks of apply speckled through it. The only problem we had was the doughnut was still really doughy and needed to cook for a couple more minutes. Overal, we'll go back and give it another try. It's fun to have a doughnut place thats open 24 hours. read more

I loved the make your own donut kits that they have. It was super fun to do with my son. Ii got a chocolate and spinkle donuts. The heavy oil and the thickness of the donut, gave me son and my son a bit of a stomach ache, I will go back and get those donut holes because they are BOMB! read more

Food is great, variety is poppin, and they're open 24-hours. As a student and a writer I plan to come back and get work done here when the cafes around town close. Person behind the counter was friendly and patient while my kid and I decided on our donuts. (Kiddo said the "service here is VERY good!") inside looks like a cute little diner with an industrial twist. Pretty popular place. Plenty of outlets. read more

This place has the best donuts in town !! Super friendly workers, always open, and they have amazing prices!

Since 1968? WOW! Stopped in because of the reviews. Counter person was friendly and chatty. It's an old building but has some character. I loved the maple bar - just sweet enough with crispy edges. Not sure what oil they fry in but it is perfect for doughnuts. I'll be back when in town. read more

Best gluten free donuts I've found. Everything else there is always a hit with the family as well. Definitely recommend.

Sugar to the max in a good way!!! I think I went into a diabetic coma after I ate half a donut there. They were tasty and a little bit too cake-y for my taste but definitely satisfied my sugar craving for the night. Nice selection of different flavors. Recommend! read more

Only place open when we were looking for breakfast. The donuts seemed old. Maybe they were the days before donuts, but I was not a fan. Shop was cool and it had a great atmosphere, but it wasn't what we were looking for. read more

I had a pineapple jalapeño fritter, and it was excellent. I will definitely go back to try some other donuts.

I thought I would stop in to buy a bunch of donuts for my co-workers, but when I saw they were $2 each I decided I really didn't like them that much. read more

Great donuts. Open 24 hours. Definitely worth the sidetrip in Spokane. I will be returning in the future.

The donuts are fantastic & the service was great! I've passed by many times but never stopped. Yesterday was the day!!! They have whatever kind of donut you're in the mood for & since it was my birthday they even gave me a free one. Everything we ordered was fresh & flavorful. The staff has good recommendations when we couldn't decide. Donut parade will definitely be on my list when visiting Spokane! read more

Crazy cool donut joint with old diner style and some pretty exotic flavors like dill pickle fritters to go along with the old standards like white cake donut with chocolate icing and sprinkles. My cinnamon twist was fluffy and not rolling in oil. They have dog treats! read more

Kicked me out because I brought my service animal. Guy said she has to have a vest on with badge. I told him he couldn't even ask for it because thats the law. I told him I would even prove to him She is a Service animal and I have all her stuff with me. He told me to leave unless she had her red vest on. Illegal again! Definitely reporting to the BBB and ADA. I also had my niece, nieces best friend and my sister there to witness this. Was just trying to give a local business support and in return got kicked out! I will never buy donuts from here again. The guy was a complete jerk. Will be talking to my lawyer read more

Amazing donuts, one of the best apple fritters! Great service. Outstanding variety! Good parking and location.

So yummy and fresh. They're always very generous! I definitely recommend this for families.

Can't wait for my fresh donut and coffee in the morning! The real deal! We ordered a variety of donuts and they all looked great. read more

Was able to go in and pick out the donuts I wanted which is cool. Got 1/2 sprinkled rings & 1/2 maple bar dozen, with the maple donut count at 7, due to them offering a bakers dozen! Somewhere else I went recently did not offer an extra donut so I'll be keeping this is mind for the next morning I'm craving doughy sweet goodness! Service is efficient and quick, they were wrapping up a large pick-up order while I was there so I believe they're still going strong! Donuts are tasty & cooked through. read more

Great variety of donuts. Picked up 6 to take to the office, including three types of fritters. We cut them up so we each could try the varieties. All were good, but I think the pineapple jalepenos took the prize! Our gluten-free person really appreciated that she got her own donut. The attendant was quick, efficient, and pleasant. read more

Omg I been driving by for the Past year and finally decided to go in. Let me just say that pineapple jalapeño fritter wow I was thinking that's wild but me and my brother attacked that. We questioned to go back but I already had ordered half a dozen and said let's try the rest then go back! The raspberry filled one is sooooo good too and the old fashioned. But you guys got me hooked with that jalapeño one it's more on the sweet side but it's so perfect. Customer service was excellent the guy that helped me today was nice and was telling us about the fritters. Nice donut shop you can sit down and eat definitely would go again! read more

Great staff from entering the restaurant to leaving, everyone friendly. Had a very nice young man taking my order and complimented my shirt. I would recommend coming here, easily located in Spokane, has a lot of parking with plenty of seating. Their selection is fun from the basic donuts to the specialty donuts along with other pastries. Definitely recommend trying this location. read more
