I love finding new businesses on Too Good To Go and Donut Parlor was such a delight! Not that the hubs and I needed a box of donuts but how can you deny such yumminess?? When you enter, the smell of all the delicious donuts just captivates you and the owner greeted us with such a warm smile and welcome. We told him we came to pickup a surprise box and he began to pack our box with goodies. We started to chat and he asked us where we were from and after we said Denver and that we were leaving the next day, he gave us a few more donuts for the flight home. The surprise box would have been more than enough but for him to give us more for our flight went far beyond our expectations! If you're hankering for a donut, you need to stop by and get one, maybe two...actually, just get yourself a whole box! read more

Searched out a creme brûlée donut and this place popped up. Upon entering, I was a bit skeptical because of how dirty the windows were. We entered around 9am ish and the donuts looked old. Not to mention, the cashiers outfit was dirty. However, I really wanted to give this place a try due the reviews. I originally was going to order a dozen donuts but everything was so off putting that I only ordered two creme brûlée donuts. And boy am I glad I did! The donuts were sooooo good! Light and airy with the proper creme brûlée crunchy top. The only downside was, the filling was not the right custard. It's vanilla pastry cream, which is different from custard. (I'm a baker and know the difference). All in all, the donut was exceptionally delicious and I'd definitely be back. Next time I'm going to come earlier to get a fresh dozen. read more

Donut Parlor - Creme Brûlée Donut - Donuts Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Stopped in yesterday around 1:30, just in time before they closed at 2pm! I was immediately greeted by owner Chhaya who introduced me to Rina (baker of Tita's Treats). As of lately, Donut Parlor has been doing a collab with both Tita's Treats and Toduken BBQ. Follow them on IG to see which day is next! My order yesterday: Green thai tea 1/2 dozen donuts - 2 Hennessey crème brulee - 2 pandan glazed - 2 ube glazed I've had green thai tea before in Cali and already knew I would love it! Not too many places in AZ serve it so was happy to find it here. The Hennessey crème brulee donut came with a shot of Henney and a raspberry. I'd say this one was my favorite. I like cream-filled donuts, love crème brulee , and I'm a dark liquor girl, so this was the perfect combo for me. I was going to try the ube cheesecake bar too but they sold out. Next time! They are very friendly and love to connect with the community so stop in and say hi! read more

I donut know why it's taken me so long to check out Donut Parlor! A friend and Yelper, Joyce W raves about Donut Parlor, so I knew it had to be good. I finally found myself in the area one afternoon in July and decided it was time. I was greeted right away. The shop is bright, clean, and inviting. I ordered a mix of gourmet, fancy filled, and classic donuts. To my pleasant surprise, the owner had just made a fresh batch of ube donuts and asked if I wanted to try one. As a big fan of ube, I was thrilled to hear this news! It's not on their regular menu, they last offered them in May for Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month (APIHM). The donuts themselves were delicious. They were soft, fluffy, and had the right amount of sweetness. The flavors were also present without being overpowering. I would highly recommend Donut Parlor to anyone looking for a tasty and enjoyable donut experience. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors! read more

Messaged on FB 3 times (they saw the messages and chose not to reply) - I also called twice and left two separate messages over the span of a week. Not sure if they are on vacation, out of business or what is going on but I never had any other interaction with them. So, no service. I could not tell you how the actual place is because they don't use any customer service skills to follow up on business inquiries. Avoid the disappointment. read more

First time here and came because wife was craving raspberry filled donut. Small shop with a small selection of donuts. Wife asked about filled donuts which she was told they had two and asked what filling. So we learned that they fill upon request. She decided on lemon and raspberry...the two donuts were taken to the back to get filled. They are sliced opened and filled (see photo). I got the apple fritter. We took everything to go and were surprised that the three donuts were put in a paper bag. Haven't seen that before actually. Got home we both agreed that the donuts and fritter were good, not greasy at all, I loved all of the apples in the fritter. Wife liked the fillings, I didn't care for the jellied like lemon filling. Too gummy for me! read more

Incredible service and the donuts are very very fresh! Low frills and fairly priced as well :)

They have the friendliest service I've ever come across in a donut shop. It seemed like they were genuinely happy to be there and proud of their products. I needed iced coffee. They have Cambodian iced coffee. Literally never had it before in my life. The girl said it's kind of like Vietnamese coffee but less sweet. Bruhhhhh it was so good!!! It has a nice roasted flavor but it isn't a "kick open doors" caffeine shot. It's more like, here's a nice caffeine hug. I think it's a strong medium roast, full-bodied, but less aggressive than Vietnamese coffee (which I also love). To me it tasted like there were notes of cocoa. It was less sweet, you can choose to add flavors to your coffee. I went with salted caramel which sounds super sweet but it was just right. If they had a shop closer to my side of town, I'd have to fight my coffee addiction harder. Do not skip this. The donuts. Yum. The dough is light and fluffy and not overly sweet. I bought 6. Some kindles of donuts cost a little bit extra but it's so worth it. I think they change up the flavors of donuts available. I was hoping they had some Ube, but they might not be the flavor of the month. I think they had it last week or something. I got a blueberry pie. Yummm. The blueberry pie tasted like a cross between blueberry pie and a soft donut, bc obviously, that's what it was. None of the flavors were lost in the combination though, so that's excellent. The maple wasn't too sweet, they had nuts on top, gave a nice balance to the sweetness. The Oreo was topped with an Oreo-filling like glaze and Oreo crumbs. The baby was so excited to see that one. She's obsessed with Oreo-flavored sweets. We also tried the fruity pebble donut. The Apple fritter was good but I wished it was a little more apple-y. Their standard glazed is fluffy and delightful. So tasty. Basically, they're really nice, & have a good base dough for the donut. Therefore you probably can't go wrong with any donut choice. If I lived closer I'd probably be giving summer my winter body. #worthit read more

Finally decided to try this local donut shop, we have passed it many times. I was craving some donuts this morning and wanted to try somewhere new. Staff was very friendly, they didn't seem to have a crazy amount of options or a lot of donuts left. Not sure if they close after they sell out or they just make small batches so they don't waste. They offered a few donuts with fruit compote, so we opted for the apple and blueberry. Also tried the Apple fritter and their maple bacon donut. Our highlight was the maple bacon, I would honestly go back just for that. The bacon was perfectly crisp and I love that the maple frosting wasn't overly sweet, mmmm it was delicious. The Apple fritter was nice and crisp, overall not bad, wish it had some more apple pieces instead of being so doughy. My wife really enjoyed their blueberry compote donut, that was probably my least favorite but I was also not in the mood for it. The Apple compote donut was soft and the filling was tasty, but overall nothing to rave about. I would still give it 4 stars because the donuts were fresh and definitely satisfied our craving. It was a perfect day to sit outside, they offer a couple of tables in the front of the store so you can sit down and enjoy a bite. read more

Found out about this place via a random reel on Instagram and I'm glad my girlfriend and I checked it out! Really great donuts with a lot of fun twists. I hate bready/cakey dry donuts and these were NOT the case! Airy, moist, just the right amount of chew = very satisfying! The different flavors were addicting as well, particularly the strawberry jelly and ube for me! Chaya (I hope I'm spelling his name right!) was super nice as well. Really friendly and great guy. Anyone craving great donuts should definitely come support this small business. read more

I like to ask a lot of questions and he obliged and we had a great conversation. If you want any of their specialty donuts get here early or order ahead. read more

SO AWESOME! Came in for the first time today and was not disappointed. Homemade and locally owned. Prices are great. Worth however far away you live. I got a half dozen and when I saw how cheap they were I tipped 50%. When I got home I noticed he (the owner I think) added an extra (a 7th) donut without me noticing and without him knowing I tipped 50%. The shop itself is small and cute. Menu is not to overwhelming which I like but they still have unique options read more

I tried this spot a couple of months ago and wanted to complete my review as they deserve kudos for what they're creating here! We opted for half a dozen to get a chance to try a variety of options and were surprised about them almost selling out mid morning so that had to be a good sign! The service was nice and pretty straightforward with no complaints. The shop itself is small with no space to sit down and eat minus a couple of tablets just outside but that's okay, we were taking them to go anyway...or so we thought because we were so excited we ended up chowing down outside. Lol. We had blueberry, apple, and the standout of the bunch was the maple bacon. OMG honestly the best one I have had so far! Kudos to them because I would couple back for a dozen of them regularly. Lol. read more

I visited last week upon finishing an appointment in the area. It's super clean and bright. There isn't much room to sit, or eat in. The donuts are nicely displayed and the menu offers a variety of donuts and drinks. Service was great. Staff greeted me right away and was friendly while filling my order. I didn't love the Cookie Crisp or Fruit Loops donuts. There was nothing wrong with them, just not my taste. The other donuts were fresh and tasty. The taro smoothie was delish! Prices were reasonable. I'd go back, again. There were still several choices I didn't get to try. read more

Donut Parlor is home to THE BEST DONUTS IN ARIZONA!! I will continue to shout this from the rooftops as long as anyone will listen. Their donuts are so incredibly fluffy and delicious. They're sweet, but not so sweet you feel it after. I've been going here since 2019 and the owner is such an incredible, kind person who works hard to make delicious donuts! If you're in the area (or even if you aren't) Donut Parlor is worth a stop! Their Ube donut is one of my favorites. Not to mention, they also make amazing donuts for parties-- they wrote out "Happy Graduation" in donuts for me when I graduated from ASU! They also make Texas sized donuts which are huge and great for sharing. Or, in my case, eating in one sitting in front of the TV! This is a wonderful small business and a family owned establishment and I will continue to go there as my go-to donut destination! I can't say it enough-- I absolutely love Donut Parlor!! read more

Wow oh wow this place has to be the best donut shop in Arizona. Located near old Town this is a hidden gem you have to try! Not only is their menu crazy good but the donut ms taste better than I could have eve hoped! They have anything from regulatory donuts, kolaxhes, crossings, to fancy donuts! It was overwhelming to narrow down the flavors as everything sounded and looked amazing! A couple we almost tried were the pie flavors, ferro roche, corssiant, and pb and j. We tried a moch@ Butterbeer donut, strawberry shortcake that tasted just like the icecream, and a creme Brule donut. It's difficult to sat whixh was th best cause they were so good. The creme Brule filling was the bomb and the strawberry short cake just had an unbelievable flavor! Staff was super nice as well. Can't wait to go back@ read more

One of our friends got us a box of donuts and at first sight they looked so creative. Each piece curated to perfection, the toppings looked great. Though I was intimidated by the amount of sugar Each donut might have I convinced myself it's just going to be one. Well, whom am I kidding. Took a bite at the fresh donut and it was filled with deliciousness. It was soft, fluffy and made fresh on order. I definitely couldn't stop at one. Honestly I'm not fan of toppings, I enjoy the donut in itself and this place guarantees that. Every flavor I tried was unique in its own ways and pretty good. Definitely recommend this place for all your sugar cravings read more

Wow, I haven't had donuts anywhere else in AZ but I don't think I will. The owner has learned donuts in the classic American way, through the Cambodian community! The donuts are soft and doughy, not to mention the toppings are always unique! My favorite so far is the ube donut - I've never had one before Donut Parlor and I'm from CA. Thank you to the wonderful owner Chhaya and Jennifer, their staff. So glad that AZ gets to have its own gourmet donut spot! read more

I went here on a Saturday around 11. It wasn't busy at all. The staff was nice and quick to help. I was excited to take my son here because he absolutely loves donuts. Chocolate glazed donuts specifically. I like specialty flavors. The chocolate glazed one he got was really good, soft, and the perfect texture. I got the Cookie Crisp one. The cereal was really stale. There also weren't many of the flavors available. This was our first time here so I am not sure how they restock once they are out of a certain flavor. After ordering, I saw other customers ask for specific flavors from the back. I wish I had known that was an option. I think that is my main grip about this place. The Thai iced tea and strawberry smoothie we ordered were great. They also gave us free donut holes, which was nice. read more

My favorite donut shop in the East Valley. We live about twenty minutes away but try to stop in at least once a month to get some donuts for the weekend. If you're feeling adventurous, you can combo it with a trip to Oragami Ramen, a couple of exits away. Not only are the donuts delicious, but the staff is always so friendly. When you walk in, you're always greeted while you scan through all the fun-looking donuts they have for the day. Many times we have gotten a couple of freebies that are secretly slipped in and such a fun surprise when you open the box. I would say that coming earlier than you planned is always a smart idea, as we have cut it close a few times, and they were out of stock. I think it's a good sign of quality when a food establishment runs out. It means they are high in demand and delicious. There is always plenty of parking in front as it's in the east corner of the strip mall where it's located. I know I'm pretty boring when it comes to donuts, but I love their glazed. Very airy but not too glazed. With some chain donut shops, the glazed is sometimes hardened on them, but a nice airy bight is perfection. Highly recommend stopping by when you're in the area! read more

Definitely a donut place without hot coffee. The specialty donuts look crazy and cool. They also seem to have iced coffee with green stuff ‍ I was seeking a hot morning coffee, and while headed to QT (across the street), I spotted this donut shop. They must surely have drip coffee... it's 9am. I didn't want their cold coffee, and when I asked for a hot regular coffee, she had to start brewing it. ‍ terrible, just terrible. How can a donut shop not have coffee!?! read more

I love my visit to the Donut Parlor! First impression was underwhelming just because it's a small shop, but then I met Chad. Chad's cheerful demeanor added to an amazing experience. He had great customer service and was fun to chat with; also he was very patient while I decided what I wanted. This donut shop offers a variety of unique donut creations. I selected the Oreo donut. It smelled amazing but the donut! Omgoodness... best donut I've ever had hands down. It was so flavorful and soft. Highly recommend! I took a picture of the boxes because they're NOT cheap/flimsy boxes. They are sturdy and would present well in an office if you're buying for your staff. I also ordered a coffee. It was just okay. This is Not a coffee shop so I'm not cutting they're rating for it. They did have sugar free flavor options which I appreciated. My small coffee was only $2 and some change so I think that was fair. Again, highly recommend! Best donut I've ever had! Keep up the good work, Chad! read more

We loved the blueberry cake donut and is the main reason we'd go back! Bummed that they don't make more of them. We went again recently and by 9am they had sold out. The specialty donuts like apple pie are good but a try once and done for us. Overall great blueberry options- but you have to go early if you're going to get one! read more

The apple fritter is special. It's perfectly crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. A fritter, drink, and a Costco would be a worthwhile morning tradition. They open at 8 which means you can get a really fresh donut relatively late in the morning. I told them it was the first time I'd been there. They greeted me. It's a 6yo family business. They told me their most popular donuts were the fritter and the apple pie donut. Get the apple fritter, the apple pie is a cinnamon sugar donut with canned apple pie filling in the top. It's fine. Nothing you can't get at Bosa or the like. They also threw in a few extras for me. I think that was the freshest glazed donut I've ever had. It was like eating a warm cloud. I'll definitely be back, they didn't have any of their crazy donuts out. I also have to try their old-fashioned. read more

I would recommend this place for a nice doughnut that is also unique. read more

I used to live very near The Donut Parlor, and I can say with certainty that nothing hit the spot better than a hot fresh donut from this little hole-in-the-wall joint. It got to be that I'd see the shop sign in passing and I'd take an inconvenient U-turn detour just to get me some hot, fluffy, artery filling donut. My fiance and I even went in there once and grabbed a donut while waiting for a table to open up at the place we were SUPPOSED to be going for breakfast just across the parking lot... This place has all your modern day fancy schmancies like the candy and cereal donuts. But my favorite has been (and always will be) the old fashioned glazed, and a traditional raised glazed donut. Their apple fritters and crumbles are fantastic as well. I think the most distinctive and charming thing about this spot though, of all things, is the door chime that sounds otherworldly. It never failed to make my man and I laugh and laugh. Im not sure the sound can be described as a chime so much anymore as a prolonged, mournful cry. It's like if a donkey hawing was put into an old pull string toy, and that toy sat there for 50 years and the pull string still works... but only kind of. "EEeeeEeeEe-AaAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaw". We still joke about it to this day. It's been a while since I've been to this spot, but I really hope that dying door chime is still in full effect. EDIT: the chime is no longer there. Oh well! Great donuts! read more

Must have been an off day. My partner and I decided to try Donut Parlor. It was a Sunday morning, admittedly a little later, but a good donut is a good donut. I understood that their selection would be a bit low. The woman behind the counter was very abrupt. It was strange. I felt like I was in an episode of Seinfeld. You know the episode with the "soup nazi." I felt pressured and not welcomed. Like hurry up and pick!!!!! So we chose a blueberry crumb and something we thought was maple, but it was peanut butter. She did not really know either. My partner and I thought the donuts were pretty dry and not that great. I probably will stick with the Local Donut and try Rainbow next time. Overall it was disappointing. read more

Donut Parlor was recommended to me, so I decided to stop by in the morning before a day trip to Sedona. It's in a strip mall area, next to Leslie's pool supplies. The parking lot was super empty, so I thought they were closed. It was weird at first, as if the area was abandoned. Idk As soon as we got in, a line started forming. The donuts are displayed in the glass case, and there's a menu above. I enjoyed all the flavors I got: chocolate bar, raspberry filled, lemon filled, maple bacon, blueberry, and pumpkin pistachio. The lady gave me a fresh glazed one before packing the box. It was absolutely delicious! The donut was so fluffy yet chewy - much much better than something like Krispy Kreme's. I felt really good leaving with a box of delicious donuts in hand, even though the area felt deserted. read more

Great for the gram but not that tasty. I was sent a box of donuts for my birthday which came out beautifully, perfect for photos!

I've definitely had better donuts but again, these are great for photos. read more
