Oh how I love the smell of an old building and fresh donuts! Yes! Yes and yes! Come here, get a donut, read your paper or Inlander. Family run! Lattes are good also but donuts are my fave in town! Get there early because they close early! read more

big portion good donut taste nice speciality donut nice too big portion honest delicoso

I can't believe I just now got around to trying this place. Growing up in Spokane I had always heard of how good it was, but had never been til a recent visit back home. I'm definitely adding donut parade to the list of must go places whenever I visit Spokane (not that the list isn't long enough as it is) I had a maple bar that was still hot and also a half order of biscuits and gravy. I may have grabbed a huckleberry glazed raised for the road... It was on another level. read more

MMMMMM! The best donuts in Spokane can be found here. Just moved 5 mins away from here, and decided to stop in early in the a.m. and I'm glad I did. You can smell donuts wafting in the back parking lot. Best maple bars I've had since my favorite donut shop in Everett, WA. I would give them 5 stars if it wasn't for the price. The price, .90c for a maple bar, seems kinda steep, but I'm willing to pay that price for the perfect donut. Their cake donuts are phenomenal! I love the ones with vanilla glaze that are sprinkled with coconut. Yum. The bad: They aren't open on Sundays :( :( Here's a secret most of you don't know about this place: Every Saturday (and only on Saturday) they have maple bacon donuts! Yep, that's right maple bars with bacon on top. I advise you to come early, cause they go fast! Everything's better with bacon on it, right? I love the sweet/salty combo. Customer service is excellent. The staff are always nice, and they help out in the community. They volunteer at local food pantries. There are alot of regulars and sometimes they seem grumpy. The place is worn down and could use a remodel, but all in all, I love this place. read more

These are by far the best donuts in Spokane. The prices are fair for premier donuts. They have a donut stuffed with sausage and bacon on the top called a flat liner. I really enjoy the flat liner and I recommend trying a chocolate flat liner instead of a maple one. It sucks how they are not opened on Sunday or Monday though. read more

I've been having my coffee and donut here most mornings for the last ten years. The maple bars and coffee taste great and are very inexpensive, but it's the fantastic servers that keep me coming back for more. read more

I had really wanted to try the Donut Parade. Sadly, we were virtually ignored while there. After waiting for acknowledgement for a while, we finally got up and left. The interior could use an update, it looks pretty run down. I'm truly sorry to say this place was a waste of time. read more

There are various donuts with seasonal flavors too! You can ask for donut holes a day in advance.

Best Glazed donut of your life!!! It's a must stop EVERY TIME we come to Spokane. Thank you Donut Parade!!!!

My dad is one of the "old guys" who others have mentioned in their reviews. He has been a regular at the Donut Parade since long before my time and I'm in my 40's. Sometimes, on Tuesdays, we have 4 generations of our family sitting at one of the well worn tables. The donuts are old fashioned and tasty. A hot maple bar from the Donut Parade is something nobody should go through life without. Certainly, opinions about donut quality can't be taken seriously from someone who hasn't been to the Donut Parade. Some of the things others have pointed out in old reviews no longer apply. The do take debit cards now and the "donuts" sign is visible from the street by the front door that works just fine. But, the place is from another time and shows its age. Don't expect gleaming conditions because this "ain't no Crispy Creme"! So, take our advice and come on down to the Donut Parade. Just pick a day other than Tuesday! read more

Of all the places I have gone for donuts, this is by far the best. The donuts are made fresh daily, and there is a good variety to pick from. If they don't have it, they will do their best to make it for you (if it is something they have the materials for). Sometimes, when it gets really busy, there will be a bit of a wait...but the donuts are well worth it. If you are in a hurry, call ahead, they will have your order ready to go. Every time I take my family here...they treat us like we are part of their family, and they will do the same for you. This is a must go breakfast spot in Spokane....and they don't only do donuts. Try their sandwiches, breakfast burritos, biscuits and gravy, and much more. You will not be disappointed. read more

this review is mostly for my dad. he doesnt indulge in sweets much, but discuss donuts in any context and he will bring up that nothing can compete with donut parade maple bars. theyre pretty good. but half the joy is knowing about them and finding the place and getting there before the donuts are gone! i have a feeling this is the place my dad will hopefully be able to take my kids to, or tell them the story of those magic maple bars when driving by the dilapidated building and how they dont make donuts like that anymore. read more

This place has been on my mind for a few weeks now because of all of the rave reviews. So today I made the drive and found the place. This is a 100% "local" donut shop. The donuts are made fresh daily so I thought they would taste great but to be honest I prefer Krispy Kreme donuts. read more

Thee best donuts on the planet!!! Hands down! Very friendly staff and the donuts are fresh, hot, and tasty. No donut place in Spokane can rival the Donut Parade. read more

Not impressed. 10 dollars for 14 cake donuts. Yes they fresh but not worth the drive there or the purchase. Oh well on to the next one!

The best donuts in Spokane. Also, despite what some reviews say, they've now upgraded to Square, which means credit cards work.

First visit. Wanted donuts for me and the kids so saw the reviews for this place on yelp. It was worth the drive...these are the closest to Shipley's donuts that I found since leaving Texas. The donuts are wonderful and I wish I lived here so I could get more everyday. read more

We've been coming here for quite a while and trying to support a local business. Today they quoted me 15 minutes for maple bars and it took 40 minutes. I wasn't provided any updates on the time frame during this wait. When they were ready several other orders were filled before mine. However they came in after me. I had 40 minutes, plenty of time to see the others come in. When the girl gave me my donuts I suggested that it would be helpful to provide a more accurate timeframe or updates as people wait. When I told the woman this she said "we said about 15 minutes. It was your choice to wait". I agree it was my choice to wait, but if I would have known it would be that long I might have passed on the maple bars. Either way, I felt her response was rude and it came across that she didn't care about the customer. We try to support locally owned places and I like to get donuts from Donate Parade fairly regularly, but when I'm treated like this I don't feel this place deserve my support. Would a Starbucks employee treated a customer like this? If they did would there be repercussions? If "family owned" is important why would part of the family treat the customer like a nuisance? The donut place on division has always treated me well and will be getting more of my business in the future. UPDATE: Two days later I was at Starbucks. The wait in the drive through took slightly longer then normal, but nothing noticeable. To my surprise the woman at the window acknowledged my wait and apologized for it taking so long. She then told me that my drink was on the house and they appreciated me waiting. Starbucks went above to handle this appropriately and show that they value their customers. read more

I would give these donuts 3 stars, but the atmosphere here is too rad to give any less than 4 stars. It's like stepping into a movie. I swear the people sitting in the booths have been sitting there since the beginning of time. read more

Please, please, please open a branch down in Pullman. All of your donuts are so tasty, but sadly it as been a little over a year since I last had one. I love how cakey they are. There wasn't a single one that I tried that I didn't like! read more

Best donuts around!!!! The only downside is the actual restaurant is definitely old on the inside and resembles the wear and tear from over the years. But in some ways this is great because when you step into the donut shop, you step back in time! The flatliner is my favorite and when they are out of bacon or sausage, the maple donuts are incredible. read more

Donut Parade is the only place to get a donut in Spokane if you want quality and nice people. Great customer service and if they don't have the donut you are craving, it is very likely that they will make it for you ASAP. Love this place! read more

This is THE best donut in Spokane hands down. Their maple bars are the ones to get here. All the others are good but the real hero is the maple bars. Must eat! read more

The bacon maple bars. THAT IS ALL. Get that and you're set for life. I came early on Saturday morning and ordered a dozen of them for my family and I, they were still in the process of making it, so I had to wait about 5-10 mins, but that was fine with me... I was still half asleep, but came early to get them, because they do run out quick. When I finally got my box of bacon maple bars -- the box itself was leaking of maple, which was kind of annoying, because it got on my white jacket but whatever! When I got home, I quickly devoured a bacon maple bar. SOOOOOO YUMMY! The bacon was perfectly crispy and the maple was sweet and complimented it well. The only complaint is maybe cutting up the bacon strips a little, it sucks that after my first bite the entire bacon is off the bar. read more

Customer service was EXCELLENT. Donuts were tasty. Get the maple bar hot and fresh! Everything was inexpensive.

Great local donut shop. Delicious, the only downfall is that they don't have French crueler :(

There's nothing quite like a fresh doughnut. Especially when the actual doughnut and the glaze are fresh, warm and soft. If I could only get doughnuts from one place for the rest of my life, the doughnut parade would hands down, be it. Love this place! read more

Great donuts. Service at the tables isn't very good, but if your grabbing a dozen from the counter and leaving they are the best in town.

Only place in Spokane the get real old fashioned hand made donuts. Nothing's changed since the doors open and that's the way it should be. Grab a pot of coffee and talk with the locals, pretty fun group of people. read more

Just ate here for the first time and it was fantastic. Three people ate themselves full and each got a drink for $11.45 total. The maple bars tasted like maple and the apple filled cinnamon bars were delicious. read more

If you are in Spokane and love donuts, The Donut Parade is the place to be! Best donuts in the entire city! I mean, they have been in business for 30 years, so you know they are doing it right. I've managed to get there early enough on a few days to catch the day old donuts for super cheap! If you live in Spokane and haven't visited, shame on you! Get there now! (Well, not right now, as they are closed, but wait for them to open and then get there!) Service has always been great and I haven't had a donut I didn't like! read more

Not only were the donuts fresh and yummy the biscuits and gravy were the bomb! The coffee was good too. Service was fast and friendly. I will be returning. read more

Second time in was much better. Met the owners and had some great donuts. Fresh off the fryer was a great treat.

Drove by this fab joint the other day and joy of joys - they are now open on Sunday's! Seriously, nothing better than drinking coffee, eating a warm maple bar and snuggling up with a good book and blanket in this chilly weather. Do not miss this place - it's amazing!! Hours Tues - Fri 6am to 1pm, Sat 7am to 1pm and SUNDAY 7am to 1pm. Just fabulous!! read more

Doughnut Parade has been around forever, and for good reason. It feels like it hasn't changed since the 60s, which in this case is perfectly alright with me. It's got that mid century diner sort of vibe to it, which works to its advantage. There's always ample seating and it's a great place to order a pot of coffee and enjoy the day. Speaking of which, in a huge fan of the coffee here. It's unique and flavorful, not too strong or too watery. It compliments every doughnut that I've ever had here. I'm not entirely sure how that's even possible, but they've pulled it off. I also really like the fact that the doughnuts aren't massive. Whenever I order doughnuts from Winchells or King Soopers, they end up being roughly the size of my head. Here, they're just the perfect size to appreciate the flavor but not get too tired of it. read more

Classic donut place! The donuts are really good. The atmosphere is older, but charming. Business associates love the donuts and so do my family. Thanks for reopening! read more

This might sound like blasphemy, but I was underwhelmed by the Maple Bacon Bars. That is not why I only gave 4 stars. They have very good donuts, and the freshness can't be denied, but they are not the best ever in my opinion. I wish they stayed open a little later also, I'm not that much of an early riser. Whenever I am in the area and they are pen, I do go in and enjoy it every time. read more

Great tasty soft delicious donuts. The people there are super nice. I love glaze donuts and it seems it's their best seller so make sure to get there early, otherwise you are going to be out of luck. Still I had their raspberry and lemon donuts and they were OH MY GOD! read more

Donuts are amazing, staff is friendly and coffee is hot and great, but this building needs to be condemned for sure omg it is freaking scary please remodel your building and ill give you 5 stars!!!! read more

Nice redo the place looks great. Love the donuts they haven't changed. Best maple bars in Spokane. Yum.
