    Chocolate Chip Pancake (the employee made it special for us!)
    Andrea L.

    Sooooo, it's on the "second" floor above where Soma used to be. Parking isn't terrible, but it's so lovely. A mix of clean and modern and a little vintage eclectic atmosphere because it's built into a house! We went at 6PM so the display was empty, but he made each donut fresh for us, and honestly these donuts are BEASTLY. Also shout-out to whoever was closing on 5/29 because they threw in a FREE donut (chocolate chip pancake!) and suggested we microwave it. 10/10 would buy again.

    Turtle and French Toast

    These donuts are little works of delicious art and an easy 5 stars. The shop is a little hard to find near the IU campus. They are located on the second floor of a multilevel older building. The shop has the feel of a French pastry bakery. I was greeted by cases of beautiful large donuts. They are not traditional circles with holes. Instead they are shaped and decorated like little cakes. I got the Turtle Donut. The cake is flaky like a French crawler, then generously covered with caramel, chocolate and pecans. Wow, delicious. My husband got the house favorite, the French Toast Donut, which was covered with cinnamon and powder sugar. These donuts are definitely an elevated donut experience. Service was friendly and quick. The shop is cute and eclectic, decorated with a few vintage toys. You can watch the donuts being decorated though a large window. In a separate room, there are a many tables and chairs where you can eat your donut. There are also a few tables outside. The restrooms are clean and nice. There is free street parking out front which I'm guessing is hard to find when the students are in town. Entry to the shop requires going up a step, I think it would be difficult with a wheel chair. I couldn't tell if there was another entrance with easier accessibility. If I lived close by, I'd be here everyday. Parlor takes donuts to a new level. This is a must try!

    My partner and I drove over an hour to Bloomington, IN with the full intention of trying out other flavors from this shop. Their spot is in a funky building - that houses other businesses. They have a good size place with a seating area. When we went inside, a lot of the trays were empty already but the staff indicated they can make any donut that is on the menu fresh despite the absence from the display case. We ordered the honey, French toast, raspberry pistachio and churro donuts. Holy cow!! They were all freakin delicious. The donut has a slight chew but kind of airy - they weren't heavy or overly sweet and you can actually taste the distinct flavors of each one. These donuts are delicious and definitely worth driving an hour to get to. Please do yourself a favor and try them out!!!

    This spot is SUPER cute & the staff was super friendly, but the verdict is still out on layered doughnuts for me! What are layered doughnuts? Well first off, they have no hole! They're a bit dense and chewy --- almost like if you fried brioche dough! It's supposed to be crispy on the outside, light & fluffy on the inside. It only sort of delivered on that. They also have a tonnnn of flavors as well as some vegan options (that looked more like traditional doughnuts - hole and all!). I ordered the Sandy Beach one which was like cinnamon sugar with a twist! If I wanted to bring something special to a group, Parlor would be a great option. Still worth a try but it's not my favorite type of doughnut!

    Raspberry pistachio layered doughnut!
    A F.

    This place is super cute and aesthetic, and I really like their doughnuts!! The dough is kind of a "layered doughnut" so it does not taste like a traditional donut but more like bread or croissant, and I love the taste! I got raspberry pistachio, and the icing on mine was also very unique and I could taste the raspberry. The only downside for me was that it was too sweet to eat alone LMAO, but I shared my donut with someone so it was perfect I did try their matcha once and it did not hit unfortunately, but everything else is good.

    It's a cute and fun shop with lots of great flavors! I think cake doughnuts are my preferred but the layered donuts were fun to try!

    Got the Turtle Cheesecakeand the Strawberry Shortcake.

    Got the Turtle Cheesecakeand the Strawberry Shortcake. Both were amazing. Airy layers like a croissant. Sweet, but not over the top. Light and not oily. Yum!!!! Service was quick and easy. Got it for Togo. In and out in two mins. Must have each time we come to IU campus.

    Maple Bourbon Pecan
    Jessi A.

    I've had Parlor one time - I got the maple bourbon pecan doughnut. Let me tell you - to die for ! The flavors are perfect. The donut is flaky - so don't come in expecting a cake donut. All of the flavors look amazing and they even have dog donuts ! The way they have the space laid out is nice - bar up front with the bakery case and cash register while seating is more to the side. They made the place look bigger than it did when it was the laughing planet. Cute decor and setup. Gourmet donuts at a fair price ! They are BIG. I can't wait to come back and try the whole menu !

    Inside the door, the floor is so cool!!

    Very good donuts. Pricey for donuts, but you're not going to eat a box of them and they're worth it.

I visited twice for a breakfast and a lunch. Lunch: I had a Black Russian sandwich and a pot of Emperor's Pride tea. The sandwich, which is a vegetarian version of a Reuben with roasted veggies instead of meat, was delicious. They really piled on the veggies. Some fell out of the sandwich, but I just ate them with the home fries. The home fries also were nicely seasoned. The tea was a little off. It's possible it was the tea itself that didn't taste how I expected, but it kind of tasted like I was getting the flavour of a different tea in the pot. Breakfast: Apple pancake and bouquet latte (seasonal special - lavender Ceylon tea latte with honey and rose syrup). The bouquet latte was wonderful and had this beautiful red swirl latte art. The pancake was nice and fluffy. One pancake is something like $5, but one is enough for a complete meal, maybe with a protein side if you're especially hungry. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. The food didn't take very long even though they seemed busy.

It was an interesting addition to the sandwich because it made the sandwich a little more sour. I added a little hot honey to help counter some of the sourness. The Hive bun was very fresh. It had great texture- crunchy edges but spongy middle. The burgers looked good but appeared very small. I was a little surprised by the portion size considering the cost. It was very expensive for such a small burger that did not come with sides & drink. I liked the big plastic cups for water. It had a bunch of advertisements on the cup, but thought it was great sizewise for water. Usually we get a small plastic flimsy cup for water at other restaurants, so it was a nice surprise. The staff was friendly and served our order relatively quickly. Patrons came in waves. The outside is deceiving because the sign isn't flashy and looks relatively small. But, once you walk in, it appears a lot more spacious than from the outside. Plenty of seating for big/small groups.

They also liked the fact that they got to take some home, but this is a college town and who doesn't like to take home pizza. Just saying. I would come back to this place in a heartbeat and get the salmon again. Since I am celiac, I couldn't get the pasta so I just put it on vegetables, but it was really good I might get an appetizer next time. The place was actually kind of small and not that many tables.
