I love donuts so much so when I stumbled upon this gem, I had to give a try. They have a variety of donuts that I wish I can try, but that would unfortunately lead to several cavities. Anyways, I had to try at least one donut and it was the cinnamon strudel donut which was delicious and fluffy. It felt like a churro and a Cinnabon had a baby and it made this deliciousness. The ambience was very cute and quaint. I appreciate the staff for helping me narrow down my choices. I can't go back again and try the other fun flavors! read more

I met up with a friend nearby and she brought me a box of these pretty looking donuts. It appears that's all it was.. disappointed. Im not in the area often, so I wouldn't go out of my way for these. I'll stick to my Shipleys.. read more

I needed to come back here after trying them in Nashville! It didn't disappoint still! Got a chocolate frosted party donut, a turtle, and a raspberry jelly-filled. That dough is always top-notch. It can get a little bready and hard to cut or pull apart, but tasty. In the afternoon, they freshly glaze your donut, which is good and bad. Fresh donut and fresh glaze mean the glaze can weep. I had to eat my chocolate one right away, as I was afraid no frosting would be left after transport. I love the selection here. All the doughnuts were good, but one didn't stand out. The jelly donut had enough jelly. Solid experience. read more

This is definitely a good reason why California and Texas don't mix well . Parlor Doughnuts is what happens when a donut gets a marketing degree and forgets how to be a donut. These things are overdesigned, underwhelming pastries pretending to be donuts. They're basically laminated croissant bricks with an identity crisis. Crispy outside, hollow inside, and somehow still dense -- an architectural marvel, not a food win. The toppings? Unhinged. Just an Instagram pile-on of cereal, candy, drizzles, and regret. None of the flavors talk to each other. It's like every topping screamed "pick me" and management said yes to all of them. And the sweetness? Aggressively sweet. One bite and your teeth file a formal complaint. You don't eat a Parlor donut -- you survive it. Also, calling these "craft donuts" is hilarious. There's nothing artisanal about a donut that feels mass-produced for people who don't actually like donuts but love standing in line and posting stories. Traditional donut shops: warm, simple, comforting. Parlor Doughnuts: cold, chaotic, trying way too hard. It's not terrible -- it's worse. It's expensive mediocrity in a flannel shirt. If you want a donut, go literally anywhere else. If you want a pastry that looks cool on Instagram and tastes like a sugar-glazed personality test, Parlor's your place. read more

What a great experience this morning! I was thinking about these doughnuts since last night haha! And I got up super early just to make in. Theres a good bit of parking so I don't see it getting crowded unless hot wox or the other place are all opened all at the same time. I wish they had a drive thru, but it would probably be out to the street lol. Anyway! The ladies at the front were all smiles and they talked so softly which was nice because it was like 7a. Nobody wants to hear people yelling or having an attitude early in the morning. Let's get down to the business of how the doughnuts taste. They are fluffy and flaky. I wish they made the dough with the same ingredients (EX: The cookies N cream was baked inside of the dough) they weren't bad, they were regular / normal. I was looking for the hype people talked about. Each doughnut was 3.95 basically 4 dollars... and my small matcha was 5.70 but it was good! It basically stole the show. The rating is for the service, the ease of ordering, the parking and matcha Overall I'd go back to try what I see on TT, which are the pizza doughnuts. And if that doesn't do it for me.. then at least I tried lol read more

Had a really good first impression at their Greenway location with the very upscale interior and clean environment. Their Heights location is on Yale in a small shopping plaza and tucked away in the corner. The interior felt a bit messy and it was also kind of warm for some reason; there's a lot of sunlight and glare inside that makes it unenjoyable to dine in. We came in the afternoon so there were no ready made donuts on the racks; we actually thought that the freshly made / made to order donuts would be a plus. Personally, I think their donuts taste better cold/ room temperature rather than hot out of the fryer. Overall, the experience felt a bit more amateurish and that, along with the hot donuts tasting good, but not great, detracted a bit from the snack. At $3.95/ donut, it better taste fantastic, and I think the donuts here just did not taste as good as their other location. read more

Gluten free donuts were sad for me . More of a flourless chocolate cake rather than a donut . The regular donuts were good though ! If you like sweet air fluffy croissant style donut i'd say give it a shot! I tried the Vietnamese coffee doughnut and the French toast doughnut. I really liked the coffee donut not super sweet but crispy. Belly won't be happy since i'm gluten free but may be worth the pain. Also donuts range from .75 cents for the tiny to $4.50 for gluten free but you really don't need more than one!Parking wasn't bad either and no line at 10am! read more

Mornings are the best to get your choice of all they offer. They open 6:30am, I have usually been served by "Julissa" who has such a sweet disposition. She guides you and answers any questions you have. Returning here, all the employees are great, today, it was "Ashley" and she was so accomodating. I probably went up 2-3 times, changed my drink from small to large and later upon leaving, I asked for a cup with ice, to switch my drink from a hot Latte, to an iced drink because once you step outside into Houston weather, it's HUMID!!!! This Cafe is a personal favorite and my go to spot once a week in the mornings. There's an array of deliciously curated croissant like donuts here; you can't go wrong choosing any of them. My favs are their Rasberry Pistachio which had 1 left by 9am. Our children love them all though, from the strawberry, lemon to the coconut. Music plays softly, as you eat in cafe style vibes. The location is in a nice area on Yale and 5th street off of Washington Street off the Waugh exit. Drinks served? We grab their warm Matcha with Vanilla Syrup and I, their Coffee with Lavender Syrup, small size with 2 donuts you can enjoy for $20.49 Come by!!! Spacious parking, safe neighborhood. Interior is modern and clean. They accept CASH and credit, no payment discrimination, all paying customers welcome. These donuts are different because they are made from Croissants with the donut dressings on top! I don't like sugary or heavy, for some reason I am addicted to these. And, I have never liked donuts. These are light and pair well with something warm. Come come and keep this business going because it's these distinct differences we need more of. Each donut is about $3.65 but if you purchase a dozen, each is $2.65. Is it worth it? Absolutely!!! And they serve various other foods such as Avocado Toast, Acai Bowls, Breakfast Tacos and many more. You'll get hooked! read more

Wowwwww! This place definitely met the expectations of the way it has been hyped up on social media. I feel like that's hard to find in Houston. I went around 2 and was sad to see a nearly empty display case but I figured it was because of the time I visited but they made my day when I was told any of their doughnuts can be made fresh based on their menu. I went specially for the cafe sua da (Vietnamese coffee) doughnut and saw their seasonal blueberry lemon doughnut. Their doughnuts aren't traditional yeast doughnuts. They are more like a cronut (cross between a donut and croissant) but I'm not complaining at all. The cafe sua da doughnut tasted like I was drinking a traditional cup of Vietnamese coffee. I highly recommend it! The blueberry lemon was great too but would have been perfect with either a strong lemon flavor or fresh lemon zest on top. I also ordered a plain cold brew that was over the top bold in a good way. I'm glad this is on the other side of town for me because I would visit often. Give it a try. You can't be disappointed with their variety of doughnuts. read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Blueberry lemon doughnut and cafe sua da (Vietnamese coffee) doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the best desserts place to go to after lunch! These doughnuts are very unique; they're crispy layered doughnuts that resembles a French toast in my opinion. I grabbed the flavors blueberry and cookies n cream, and surprisingly I enjoyed the blueberry a lot more. The cookies n cream was on the sweeter end. Every bite though was delicious! I highly recommend. The service was okay. There were tons of flies flying around, probably due to the overfilling trash can. It was a little odd as to why the trash wasn't taken out and customers were throwing trash on the floor at that point. read more

Donut sleep on this place. This doughnut place nestled in the Heights area in Houston Texas should be added to your go to list. This is not your average doughnut place.

I will be back as I didn't try out their breakfast items as I was mainly there for their fluffy doughnuts. Not only did I get one to eat there I took home a full box of their different flavors. Each one was very tasty and fluffy. read more

Love that Parlor Doughnuts offers gluten-free and vegan donut options, along with a keto donut and dog donuts! However... this donut chain is so damn popular, you better go early or else it'll be slim pickin's. Good news is you can special order donuts, but it'll take a while. So sit back and enjoy a latte while you await. They also have savory bites, like tacos, egg and sausage biscruit, spinach and pesto breakfast sandwich, avo toast, acai bowl, etc. read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Interior - Donuts Near Me - Houston, Texas

Parlor Doughnuts has been recommended to me by a few people and now I know who's recommendations not to take seriously. Y'all know I like a place with parking and theres plenty of it in the lot and on the side street. Walked in, no crowd, nice spacious layout, bar stool seating by the windows, and tables spread out so you don't feel like you're sharing breakfast with strangers. Cashier was friendly, greeted me right away, and handled all my questions. Visually, nothing was calling my name, so I went with what seemed safe: the strawberry shortcake doughnut. A layered doughnut, strawberry glaze, whipped cream, fresh strawberries on top. Sounds like a dream, right? Wrong. It was basically a plain doughnut playing dress up in the produce aisle. Then came the avocado toast. Listen... as soon as I saw it, I knew I was going to be annoyed. Instead of that fresh, chunky smashed avocado, it was some sort of mystery green spread. All I know is I didn't like it, and I don't want to meet it again in this lifetime. Basically these doughnuts are Instagram cute and definitely overpriced. If that's your vibe, cool. But me? I'll be sticking with my usual avo spot and leaving Parlor Doughnuts to the people who recommended it to me in the first place. I think most people deserve a 2nd chance so maybe I'll try a different doughnut on another day... or not. read more

I first discovered Parlor Donuts in Indiana, where it all began, and was immediately impressed by their crispy outer shell and fluffy center. Wanting to introduce Parlor to out of town friends, I picked up a box of minis and five full-sized donuts: The King, Vietnamese Coffee, raspberry pistachio, campfire, and maple bacon. At first glance, they looked great. However, both my husband and I found the donuts to be quite doughy, lacking the flaky texture typically associated with layered donuts. Our friends also didn't quite care for them. Given the $4 price tag per donut and the branding as small-batch craft donuts, we expected a higher standard, especially compared to places like Shipley and Krispy Kreme. Additionally, we found the toppings to be overly sweet for our taste. We also noticed that the raspberry pistachio donut seemed noticeably smaller than the others (see picture). We were all somewhat disappointed. The minis weren't crispy either. It had been almost nine months since our last visit to this location, and it seems the quality may have declined. Considering the 30-minute drive to get them, it was a letdown. I hope this feedback is helpful for maintaining the high standards that made me fall in love with Parlor Donuts in the first place back in 2020. read more

Not really bad, but could not give it 4+ stars. The shop is small but has a nice feel. seating was limited, seemed like many people were picking up to go. Staff super friendly and helpful. The doughnuts in general are very thick/tall. the exterior is a bit crunchy chewy and inside is airy, similar to a croissant. They are larger than average and cost about $4 each. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and the chocolate chocolate. Both were a bit to sweet for me. with the turtle being way over the sugar line. In general they were high quality, but after bite of each I was kind of over them. I did have some coffee to balance the sweetness and that helped. My biggest takeaway was they are more of a novelty treat and not an every day go to. If you are in the area I say give them a try, but I would not go out of my way for them. read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Turtle Cheesecake and Double Chocolate - Donuts Near Me - Houston, Texas

Flaky and buttery layered doughnuts--it doesn't get any better than this! These doughnuts are best described as having delicate, flaky layers like a croissant, topped with just the right amount of sweetness. On my second visit, I arrived around 2 PM, and the shop was empty. I asked the lady behind the counter if the doughnuts in the display case were all that was left. She responded, "Anything from the menu can still be made fresh in the back." I was thrilled! My daughter, visiting for the holidays, had specific flavors she wanted to try, and this made it possible. One standout flavor was the Blueberry Hill. I'm not usually a fan of anything blueberry, but my daughter insisted I try it--and I'm so glad she did! It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and surprisingly became one of my favorites. Another favorite was the churro doughnut. Coated in cinnamon sugar and paired with chocolate--who doesn't love that combination? They also offer dog doughnuts - don't forget your furry furends! Pro tip: You can order online and set a pick-up time for added convenience. We can't wait to make another trip to the city for more of these incredible doughnuts! read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Burnt tacos - Donuts Near Me - Houston, Texas

Coworker had brought in doughnuts to try. I liked them so figured I would stop by mid Morning a week day to be less busy. Honestly I was disappointed for the lack there of choices at that time of day. I understand it's an artisan spot. But I guess I expected them to have a bit more selection than about 5 or 6 choices before 9:30 in the morning. I also ordered the White Chocolate iced latte which might as well have been milk with whipped cream on top. While the doughnut was fluffy, the cost of 15 for a drink, doughnut and two minis was not worth it when I had to just settle for a choice that was there. There was a decent amount of seating for a doughnut shop. read more

I took my daughter to make the drive from Katy to visit the place Saturday after Thanksgiving. We arrived at around 10:30 an and it was not crowded. I was immediately attracted by the display ( that I didn't even notice the hot items menu). The staff were friendly and the donuts were good! They were on the sweeter side for me BUT I love the texture of the yeast donuts. They have a good chew but not dense. We also got a coffee and a small kid hot chocolate and they both went well with our donut selections. the donuts are really an occasional treat as they were quite sweet to my taste, however, I am excited to return to try the warm breakfast options. Overall, cute place with yummy treats! read more

We stopped by during a quiet time, which made for a relaxing visit. The interior was spacious, clean, and inviting, making it easy to browse and enjoy. My husband tried the coconut-filled donut, which had a wonderfully chewy texture. It was a little sweeter than we usually prefer, but still a fun treat. I went with the keto vanilla donut it was a bit denser than expected, it's great to see low-carb options available. Overall, it's a great spot for donut lovers with something for everyone. We'd definitely come back to explore more of their regular flavor offerings. read more

Excellent food and donuts but very slow service on a Saturday morning (reason for only 4 stars). Really enjoyed the bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and donuts (cinnamon bun type and French toast). The layering of the dough is delicious and was especially enjoyable in the breakfast sandwiches. The donuts were fluffy/flaky (again layering), great flavour, and delicious topping/glaze. Will visit again being mindful of not expecting incredibly speedy service. read more

I really hate when I find out about these places.... I can never lose weight because I love food just a little bit too much. Not sure if they call it the cronut, but that's essentially what this - a flaky donut that pretty much almost looks like and tastes like a croissant. It looks like the base is pretty much the same and they add toppings depending on the order. These are made to order (not baked to order) so expect to wait a bit for them to prep. I think we wanted at least 10 minutes and there was no one ahead of us. There is the option to order online so you don't have to wait. The only thing I wasn't a fan of were the minis. I only tried the raspberry filled (way too much powdered sugar), cinnamon sugar and apple. The apple one was my favorite, but I believe it is seasonal. Be sure to try the seasonal flavors! I usually don't order salted caramel just because it can be overly sweet, but this one was so delish with the right amount of saltiness! read more

Let me start off by saying the donuts here are phenomenal, probably the best or one of the best in Houston. A little pricey but hey that's the state of the world right now isn't it. And you pay for quality which I don't mind. Now this would've been a five star review based on the donuts alone, but coming in twice to this location the only thing holding it back is the service at the register. Both times the feeling is that the lady at the front is being bothered taking the order. Which is a shame because it is a great spot, but the service leaves an unwelcoming feeling. If things change in subsequent visits I will reflect it. read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Croissant donuts! - Donuts Near Me - Houston, Texas

Parlor Doughnuts made it into the Houston scene almost a year ago and in usual Justin fashion, I let the hype die down and came and checked it out recently. We left breakfast nearby still kind of hungry and decided to get something sweet to take home. Parlor Doughnuts is in a shopping strip with other businesses. Be careful where you park because some spots are specific to certain businesses. I like the look of the place with tile all over the place. The space itself is large, but the restaurant work space takes up most of the main dining room, along with a kitchen in the back. Seating is limited, so be ready to pounce on a seat when they open up. Customer service was cool, not much interaction with the friendly folks behind the counter. Service was slow from the time of ordering to the time to get what we ordered. I found that kind of odd considering the cases were full of donuts. They do make small batches throughout the day. You are not getting your typical yeast or cake donuts here. What you get here is layered donuts. It's different. The debate is if it's a cronut or not. I've had cronuts and I would say the consistency of the donuts are pretty similar. I think they were a little more airy to me than a cronut. There were so many good looking donuts to choose from. They have their mainstays, but they also have seasonal items. The ones that caught my attention immediately was the Sandy Beach and Cookies 'n' Cream. The Sandy Beach had "tastes like a cinnamon roll" under the name and I knew that was the one for me. I'm a sucker for a cinnamon roll and to get it in donut form seemed like a great idea. This donut was absolutely delicious. The donuts are huge. Upon first bite you get a slightly crisp exterior but inside it's super light and airy. I can see the cinnamon roll flavor comparison to be accurate. I wish it had just a tad bit more of a cinnamon punch to it. The Cookies 'n' Cream was tasty too. I like that both donuts weren't overly sweet. It paired well with my iced vanilla latte that I got. Parlor is definitely up there as one of the better donut options in the city. They just opened one up in the Clear Lake area which is close to home. I will definitely be back! read more

Cute spot! They have a lot of options. I got a box of 4 for about almost $19. These are layered donuts so I guess kind of like a cronut?! lol. They tasted more doughy but less dry than normal donuts.

They are good but didn't blow me away! read more

A diff take on cronuts as they say. Diff flavors . It's ok for the price . Just ok at 4$ each with tax. A typical cafe setup . Quick service , modern contemporary decor. Hoping it can withstand competition in the area .

Pretty good but have had better . read more

Super cute space inside and reasonably priced donuts! These donuts are more of a flaky croissant consistency, which is a nice change to traditional ones. I was expecting them to be filled inside but it seems to just be on the topping. We ordered two different flavors, the cookies and cream and the cheesecake turtle. When we visited they only had the turtle flavor but they were nice enough to make me a cheesecake turtle on the fly! The donuts are $3.95 each. I wanted to try the raspberry pistachio one too but it wasn't available. They offer many different flavor lattes and we tried the Mayan Chocolate one. It's basically just chocolate flavor with cinnamon, it was decent I wasn't expecting much but we liked it. It wasn't too expensive either for $4.95. Loved that they also gave us a pup cup for a dog, he tends to expect it when we go anywhere with him now. Staff was friendly and there's a nice selection of flavors. read more

First time trying parlor doughnuts and it was a great experience! What I love about the doughnuts that they're not too sweet or greasy. They have more of a flaky croissant like texture with a light glaze on the top. I had the lemon glaze. Delicious! On the top was a small dollop of whipped cream. They have a lot of different flavors to choose from and a couple are seasonal. They also have a couple that are filled and some smaller ones as well. They also have coffee options too. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was a lot of people coming in and out. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the different selections. So glad I got to enjoy this new doughnut experience - highly recommend it if you want a different take on your traditional doughnut! read more

Craving for big doughnuts? This is the place. The interior texture of the doughnut is leaning towards a croissant without butter, while the exterior texture is like a doughnut. I bought the Chcoolate Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cup, and the Churros. The doughnuts were soft and airy inside while the outside was crispy. The flavors were not strong enough though. The peanut butter cup needed more peanut butter flavor. The churros also needed stronger taste. The staff were super friendly and welcomed me with big smiles. The parking lot is rather small but there are a few designated parking spots just for customers of Parlor Doughnuts. read more

Why 5 stars? Because I could spend all day with these cronuts. --- --- --- I don't know if Parlor would identify their creation as "cronuts", but that's essentially what they are. And the nice thing about that is that I felt like I could eat a decent amount of these treats, without feeling the effects of an immediate blood sugar headache, which is my typical reaction to normal donuts. Why? I don't know, I'm not a scientist. But here's what I do know: there were like 20 different flavors available, and I absolutely would have loved to try about 17-18 of them. We bought 6 and then proceeded to share them with 7 people, so we just kind of sampled a few bites each. I really enjoyed every bite, despite the texture being a lot different from what I initially expected. If they put one of these closer to my house, it's gonna be a problem. read more
