Savanna B.

I really enjoyed the donuts and coffee. The staff was friendly. You can park in their lot for free. I parked on the street. Found that part out later. Allen and Allie was a great experience. The bathroom is pretty gross though, and they do not have a changing table, so if you are visiting with a diaper dependent child, I would definitely make plans to take care of that diaper somewhere else.

Limited parking and you have to pay after 15min but they validate! Great textured donuts and I believe they are yeasted. Flavors range from simple to pretty crazy. One thing I love is the cereal toppings were still crunchy and not soggy considering I came in around 3-4pm. Donuts crunchy/flakey outside and soft inside with a slight chew. Great service, staff were very helpful, and clean practices!

We stopped by Parlor Doughnuts after lunch. Upon entering, the shop smells so good. I think it's a mix from the coffee and doughnuts. I ordered the Raspberry pistachio and it's pretty good. It's a big doughnut and it is on the sweeter side of things but still pretty good. I think this is good to share with friends as a dessert instead of a breakfast food. Service was friendly. We came in during lunch and there are still quite a few doughnut flavor variety left over. They also have validated parking so go in and get that as well.

Sandy Beach
Christine B.

My son convinced me to drive into downtown Denver for these. (He loves cronut-style donuts.) We both ordered the Sandy Beach: vanilla glaze with a crumbly cinnamon sugar topping. It's very aptly named, and messy! I would say the donut base is outstanding. Loved the chewy, tender layers. However, the icing was way too sweet and cloying for me. I wish I'd read other's reviews in advance as I see they point this out for many of the donuts. I might have just treated my son and passed for myself. If you want to eat here at the shop there's a QR code you can scan for parking validation.

Cool spot for an artisan donut. The place is well laid out and seemed pretty clean, but the floors were sticky before 8 AM. Maybe it was my shoes on a certain type of surface? The see was fast and friendly. The food was well prepared, but not a budget friendly donut.

Checked out Parlor Doughnuts for the first time yesterday with some friends. I was promised these were some tasty doughnuts (donuts?), and I was not led astray. The offerings are in the cronut style of things--thickly cut and layered/flaky. We had a variety: French Toast; Raspberry Pistachio; Coconut Cream; and Churro. The raspberry was really punchy, and high on my list. The coconut was excellent, but very messy with filling. (A good problem to have, but would recommend a fork!) All of the sampled flavors were really winners though. This location has a convenient parking lot, which you can validate for up to 90 minutes of parking. The interior had several seating areas, so if you're not grabbing and going, you can settle in with a hot cuppa and fully enjoy the sugar rush.

Counter as you walk in

The shop is small but clean with a few tables to seat at if you want to stay. There were two people behind the counter but not very helpful. We wanted to try the donuts because we heard good things about them. The donut itself is very good fluffy and crunchy at the Same time- I would have preferred it plain! The bacon was good but the frosting was very sweet to me. I think if the frostings had less sugar the donuts would have been better! Everyone has their own taste so many might like it this sweet! I'm just saying for us, all three toppings were too sweet. Donuts without toppings are yummy!

Great service, friendly and welcoming staff. The donuts were flavorful. My faves were raspberry pistachio and coconut cream.

The donuts here were pretty good but just a tad bit sweet for me. They have really interesting and unique flavors but I came a little bit late so some of the flavors were sold out. My favorite flavors were the strawberry and the blueberry donuts. Also the dough here was very almost croissant like which I enjoyed! We did come very late so we could tell the worker wanted to go home but the inside of the shop was very modern and clean. Overall pretty good experience but I don't know if I would come back just because it's really sweet.

Churro, Lemon Bar, Strawberry Shortcake
Doen L.

Immediately as I walked in, I felt a sense of excitement and awe looking at all the options in their display case! We got here around noon on a cold snowy day, and it looked like there were only a couple of sold-out flavors. We picked up 3 donuts: churro, lemon bar, and strawberry shortcake. The lemon bar was, surprisingly, my favorite. It was sweet and tangy and on the lighter side. That being said, I would pass on the churro next time. It was a bit too sweet and heavy for me. These doughnuts are tasty, and I wish there was just a bit more flake to the cronut. It was also cute in here! The folks working were really attentive and quick. I would definitely come back and I think these are a great gift idea! Something about the presentation of them feels fancy and aesthetically pleasing.

Strawberry Shortcake and Cookies N' Cream
Morgan O.

Walked in about an hour before they closed, and luckily still had a ton of options left! Great service. Ordered a strawberry shortcake and cookies and cream doughnut, they were good but the juxtaposition between the really dull flavored doughnut and the insanely sweet icing was a lot and not my favorite. The strawberry shortcake flavor particularly tasted nothing like strawberry shortcake :/

3.5 rounding up to 4. Unique flavors, light, like a cronut. Sweet. Tried the double chocolate, lemon, raspberry pistachio and French toast. The French toast tasted like a maple bar, which was our fav. My daughter rated it 7/10. Cute vintage decor and a few tables and a bathroom!

Doughnuts (from near to far: chocolate chocolate, churro, apple pie, pumpkin chai cheesecake)

I stopped here while visiting Denver. I was brought in by their creative and seasonal flavors. Overall, I would say their doughnuts taste more like yeast doughnuts and they all have a good flavor and chew to them. I chose the following flavors: Pumpkin chai cheesecake (seasonal), apple pie layered (seasonal), churro, and chocolate chocolate. They definitely hit the spot for my doughnut craving. They do cost $4.50 per doughnut so between the 4 doughnuts and some coffee it came out to almost $20. My favorite was the pumpkin chai cheesecake. The pillowy doughnut was topped with a pumpkin flavored cream cheese frosting as well as a dollop of whipped cream. The churro was probably my second favorite. It had a somewhat crispier texture and was coated in chocolate. The chocolate-cinnamon flavor combination was perfect. I also really liked the chocolate chocolate which was a plain doughnut base topped with chocolate glaze, chocolate chips, and chocolate drizzle. It reminded me of a chocolate babka. The apple pie doughnut was basically a doughnut filled with apple pie filling and you could never go wrong with that. It was a bit on the sweeter side for me but still delicious. Worth a stop by to get some delicious doughnuts!

Easily the best donut I've ever had. Maybe the best baked good I've ever had. Maybe the best food I've ever had. Go get yourself a donut.

She had to settle for a small, pre-made pastry thing and I got one of those oatmeal cup things where they just add hot water. I don't know if it's common to run out (or to only make food first thing until it runs out and nothing from then until close time at 4?) We chose to sit outside and they have a few tables but no umbrellas. There were two adirondack chairs and a stone bench further from the door that were partially under a tree so we sat there but otherwise those tables were in direct sunlight. Definitely definitely need to invest in some umbrellas or those overhead curtain things. I'd say nothing stood out here - typical coffee shop and assortment but on my friend's behalf, wish they kept the food in better stock throughout the morning and afternoon.

Good pizza making class for total beginners. Less so if you own a different pizza oven than theirs…read more Took the "Backyard Pizza Affair: Cooking at 900 Degrees" class. Honestly it was just okay for us. I'd say it's worth it if you're a complete beginner at pizza making, but here's the catch: in the class they use the mini Gozney ovens, and we have the full-size Gozney Dome. Practicing on a different oven than the one we'd actually be using at home was a bit off-putting, since so much of pizza making is dialing in your specific setup. That said, I still learned plenty that carried over! It's a 4-hour hands-on class, and you get to mix the dough, practice stretching, and launch your own pizza. The instructor, Gage, really knows his stuff and he was great at explaining the why behind each step, not just the how. I walked away with genuinely useful skills like freezing the dough and shaping technique. It's about $148 a person. The nice touches help. You get a pastry before and a cookie at lunch, plus a detailed recipe packet (dough variations, freezing, mixer methods, the works). And Rebel Bread is a working bakery, so it's a fun space to be in. My other note: the class runs long, and I wish it had been a bit shorter and tighter. For someone who's never made pizza before, I think it'd be worth it. For us, already set up with our own oven, it was a nice experience but not essential.

The inside is what you look for in an upscale coffee shop, clean, great lines, artwork, and quality coffee. I always order the nitro cold brew here and it never disappoints. It will definitely charge me up for the day or evening. Their cold brews are crafted using Kaladi Full City coffee and it has a bolder, yet similar smoothness to say a Starbucks Cold Brew. They also have a wide variety of kombuchas on tap as well! I've heard some good things about their Venetian Crème Cold Brew if you like a sweet flavor with your charge. The interior includes high ceilings and garage doors that open to allow for a breezy experience when the weather is right. The music is usually good and is constantly changing, which leads me to believe that the baristas may play their own mix sometimes. I almost exclusively drink cold brew but I have had their coffee too and it is awesome. I also order their almond poppyseed bread (APB) quite often; however, today they were out so I tried the pumpkin spice bread instead. It was good but not mind blowing like the aforementioned APB! I'm the only one that calls it that so don't try to order the APB! :D Feel free to spread the word via an APB though. :) With so many options in my neighborhood that are within walking distance I choose Nixon's quite often and enjoy supporting this quality independent shop.
