    From left to right  Coconut cream French toast Raspberry pistachio Lemon bar

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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Saw the shop while walking down the road and decided to stop in for a sweet treat!

    Adam and Tobey were very helpful in suggesting some recommendations based on what my preferences are. These doughnuts are all croissant donuts so not the kind that I can eat 3 of. One was plenty! But if you are looking for a box of doughnuts better than your standard chain spot, give these guys a try.

    Gluten free churro / raspberry pistachio / strawberry
    Victoria L.

    The websites make it out to seem that there's only one or two gluten free options but when I got to the shop, there were probably 10 options! They're small and cute. I believe the base is coconut flour or something - i can taste it. They're light and still moist. Usually GF donuts are dry... so props to them! It's super quick and i ate these 3 over 3 days and they still tasted great. The churro doesn't taste like churro though - more just chocolate nutty ness to me. I'm a GF girly so this was so nice to have this option as voodoo (close by!) does not

    Convinced my husband to take me downtown for these donuts and I'm obsessed. The space is beautiful--bright, open, tons of seating. The donuts are ridiculously good: sweet, flaky, croissant-donut hybrids in a million amazing flavors (holiday ones too!). I intended to buy just one, and left with half a dozen. If you have a sweet tooth, this is a must visit. You won't regret it.

    Really good doughnuts. First timer. Happened to stop by on a day where they lost power. Didn't even notice til they mentioned it lol. Lots of variety. Honestly wasn't expecting to be wowed but yeah... super flakey and soft and delicious!! if I lived here, I'd come back very often!

    Tried the french toast donut. It was pretty good. I heard next time I need to heat it up. I'd try more.

    Well, I have visited this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times have been for a holiday brunch or…read moredinner. Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.
