    Vietnamese Coffee and French Toast
    Carrie M.

    This doughnut shop has indoor seating only with some creative doughnuts. We got the Vietnamese coffee doughnut and the French toast doughnut. It was $8.56 for the two. The girl behind the counter was kind of weird when we said we wanted two (one for each person), which seems like a very normal number. We liked the French toast more, although both were good. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this shop over any other doughnut shop, but it was worth a try. We saw a sign for savoury doughnuts that you can request to be made. They looked pretty good.

    I'm so glad that parlor donuts has made its way to Houston! I have a gluten allergy and their keto donuts were yummy and gave me no issues at all. My three kids ordered different gourmet donuts, and loved every single one of them. The inside of the shop was very clean and the service was great. We will definitely stop by again when we are in the Heights.

    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

    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!

    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.

    C revisited today. Afrind. Today. I had chocolate vegan. It was cake doughnut and had good texture and flavourful. my flexitarian friend had the pizza doughnut which she said was good. The service was prompt, but cashier seem to not to know what was vegan- Ample parking

    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!

    Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Keto Friendly

    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!

    Blueberry lemon doughnut and cafe sua da (Vietnamese coffee) doughnuts
    Kiet L.

    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.

    Blueberry Hill (bottom) & Cookies N' Cream (top)
    Kaitlyn P.

    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.

    Parlor Doughnuts was great! Definitely a spot I'd recommend. The doughnuts were soft, fluffy, and fresh. I had the OG Pepperoni along with the cinnamon sugar minis, and both were really good. I also tried the mango passion coconut milk refresher, which was sweet, refreshing, and packed with flavor.

    Angelica G.

    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. These layered doughnut are made fresh and delicious. I recommend that you try the maples bacon one it's to drool over. They also have coffees, juices and teas. 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.

    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.

    The popular Portland based Voodoo Doughnut came to the Houston food scene not too long ago and had…read morebeen a frequent stop for me when I have a donut craving. I don't get the cravings often, but sometimes I just want an apple fritter and most all donut spots close early in the day. That is where Voodoo holds the advantage. They stay open late. You will always get a long line during late night hours at any of their locations around town. They are known for their wacky donut creations. Things like a voodoo doll donut, grape flavored donuts or even a donut shaped like a blunt. In my opinion, all the crazy flavors are either way too sweet or are just doing too much. Give me a regular glazed donut or an apple fritter or something along those lines. They also do a buttermilk bar that is outstanding. The vibes are great at this location. They always got some good music going on and the staff are always friendly and match the vibes of the store. It's a great option when the donut cravings hit late at night.

Special shout out to Micah (I hope I spelled your name right) and if I wasn't senile I could remember the name of, who I think was the manager, there earlier in the evening. Idc if I like the doughnuts or not but I'll keep coming back because of the people. But the old fashioned was pretty damn good.

    Apparently all Shirley's Do-Nuts are not created equal! This Shipley Do-Nuts experience reminded me…read moreof the beauty of the Shipley Do-Nut experience. In fact, when friends visit from out of town I'm going to take them to this (and only this) location to experience Shipley in its best form. When I tell you, all the I's are dotted and the t's are crossed at this location I mean it! I truly wouldn't be surprised if they trained new franchise owners at this very location because pretty much everything is elevated or on point. Pup in tow I chose the drive-thru. Pulling up to the order speaker I was greeted with an automated we'll be with you shortly message. After placing and receiving my order I opened the box and nearly audibly gasped. I've ordered one too many Shipleys Bullseyes in my day, but I've yet to see one that looked this perfect. The middle seemed piped. I also ordered two cake donuts, a buttermilk for now and blueberry for later. Both were delightful! The slight language barrier at the receiving window had me a bit worried, but this spot delivered. I'll be back on my next cheat day!

    High expectations, but a bit disappointed…read more Service 5/5 - The lady at the counter was very friendly and nice. She provided great service and had a great attitude. Beignet - Surprising hit. They are made fresh to order and it was actually my favorite thing from our experience there. Donuts - The batter used made the donuts not quite as light as Krispie Kreme and had a bit more of a bounce/chew to it. The donuts are definitely better when slightly warmed up for a few seconds. Their glaze is where I think the donuts fell short for me though. It had a nice crispy texture but there is a slight added fragrance to it that I found distracting. I can't quite put my finger on what that fragrance is, you can't necessarily taste it but you can definitely smell it. The other non-glazed donuts like maple didn't have the fragrance but the maple flavor was a bit too mild. Jelly and cream ones were OK, were very filled. Kolache - Got the plain sausage one and it was nothing special. The sausage tasted like a breakfast sausage you'd get from a complementary breakfast at a hotel and then wrapped in bread. Would not get again. Americano - Pretty good, went well with the sweets. Overall not bad but I feel like we've had better donuts elsewhere. The fragrance in the glaze was off putting though and that made me quite disappointed.
