We stopped by for some mini donuts and this has become our go-to spot since it's so close to home. Service was quick and friendly, especially since we were the only customers there at the time and there were two staff members working. We ordered a box of mini donuts -- I believe it comes with 10 pieces and you can choose your flavors. I usually go with the assorted option, which included flavors like coconut, plain, and raspberry, and I also picked up the maple dip on the side. The donuts are small, like donut holes, except they're square-shaped. They're flaky but a bit hard. I enjoyed the plain one since it wasn't overly sugary. Overall, a good spot for a quick sweet treat, and there's plenty of parking available too. read more

I don't know what took me so long to try Parlor Doughnuts. My friend and I had brunch nearby and made an impromptu stop for dessert. Parlor is known for their layered doughnuts. They have an array of flavors including savory and sweet. They also have mini doughnuts and breakfast options like acai bowls, breakfast tacos, and breakfast sandwiches. I ordered the Maple Pecan doughnut and it was soooo good! I felt a sugar rush the moment I bit into it. The doughnuts are massive so I didn't even try to eat all of it. It was a little messy. I didn't see any clean plates, so I went up to the counter to ask the girl that was working for a plate. It took forever to get her attention and when I finally did, she muttered something under her breath as she went back to get a plate for me. You would have thought that I demanded for her to make me a fresh batch of doughnuts. It was very off putting. I also had a small White Chocolate Blondie Latte. I was able to sub oat milk and surprisingly, there wasn't an upcharge for it. The coffee was really good! The other employee who was working was much nicer. The doughnuts and coffee are really good, but I feel inclined to visit a different location just to avoid that insufferable employee. read more

Unfortunate experience here Friday morning. If you're stopping in before work looking for a quick treat, you may want consider somewhere else in the area. I stopped in for 2 doughnuts at 6:45am yesterday morning. It took 10 minutes to get my 2 doughnuts. The staff was slow to come from the back and take my order but still rushed by the time somebody got to me. They doughnuts were chalky and flavorless. But the primary reason for my review is the slow and unhelpful service. read more

I love Parlor Doughnuts! I first discovered them many years ago in West Florida and I was super excited to hear they were opening in Houston. I've frequented the Heights location in Houston and that one is great. Today I decided to give the West University location a try. Here's my assessment. I think I ordered the wrong thing. I decided to get a special/seasonal pistachio doughnut and it kinda fell flat. It was very dense, not crunchy in any way which is what I typically love about Parlor, and it was too cold for me. Sure I could have heated it up but I dined in to get the full experience. It was average - not good, not bad. I do need to mention that the ambiance, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere of the interior was great. The one thing that really didn't feel great was the parking situation. I came on a Friday around lunch time and the parking lot was completely packed. I literally circled the lot - from Kroger all the way down to Buffalo Speedway (where Buca di Beppo used to be) and not a single spot opened up. So I drove behind the complex with the beautiful view of the many dumpsters, squeezed by a Sysco 18 wheeler that happened to park in the middle of alleyway, and I finally nabbed an open spot, only to find that it's reserved for a business that's not Parlor. I was tempted knowing I would only take 10 minutes to order my doughnut and enjoy it, but alas, I did the right thing and spent another few minutes before I found a different open spot. That was just crazy. How can anyone shop at that Kroger nearby on a routine basis with that much of a parking shortage? So - definitely try Parlor because it's awesome, and I recommend the Heights location. But if West U is closer, check it out but good luck with the parking. read more

Parlor Doughnuts in Houston was a fun option for morning bites and coffee! Their iced coffee drinks were good and enjoyed their breakfast tacos (bacon and chorizo) and breakfast sandwiches. Decor was beautiful and a unique theme all around. Service was alright, was better on my second trip compared to the first. read more

Come on inside the loop Parlour! Now I learned of this locations existence 30 days post it's arrival. So I'm a lil late to the party. In my excitement of knowing there is one close to me. I logged on online and placed a order for pickup right after work! I ordered a French toast and honey glazed donut! As you can imagine I could not wait to get a taste of the donut. My scheduled pickup was 5:30pm I get there at 5:20pm. I walk to the counter and inform the cashier that I have an order for pickup. She checks the prepared orders then returns to the counter and ask me if I was sure I selected the right location as I'm staring at my confirmation email with the correct address plus I KNOW I am at the right location... She starts to say I'm sorry but we don't have your order and I inform her to look again. A colleague of hers walks over and they locate the ordered and they're talking amongst themselves saying I dont know why it didn't come up. Anyrate im staring at them still waiting for my order and im like do you have my donuts. They goto the back and make them, this was a 15 min ordeal.... Anyway 4 stars because the donuts are bomb and I've previously had good service at the other locations. Maybe don't order online. read more

We, group of 4, dropped by for their donuts. This is my favorite donut place in Houston and so happy they opened one in this area! Service was great, as the staff explained to us all the donuts available. Their layered donuts make it soft and airy. They have so many unique flavors to choose from. We tried the turtle ( my favorite), cookies and cream, French toast, and maple bourbon. I'm personally not a maple person, so it was my least favorite but still good and everyone else in my group loved it. These donuts were big so we cut them into chunks of four so everyone could take a bite and try. The tropical energizer drink was refreshing but I usually like a cappuccino to go with my donuts. I'll be back to try everything on the menu, including the mini donuts and a cold coffee. There's plenty of parking in this shopping center. They have cute merchandise for sale too, in case you need another tshirt after making a mess or to gift. read more

I always passed by this new spot and decided to drop in today. I am very happy I did. The staff were extremely friendly from the moment we entered and asked if if was our first time and if we needed help. They explained that the doughnuts were more pastry like, which was good to know. They also said they offered all day breakfast items and coffee. The interior was spacious and neat, with the items clearly displayed at the counter. The merchandise area was also nicely highlighted. I ordered the plan and double chocolate dougnuts and the chorizo breakfast taco. Man those donuts were great! The pastry was thick and fluffy and baked to perfection and nicely offset the sweet toppings. The breakfast taco was slightly crispy, with a heart amount of tasty fillings. A nice place to grab a few bites to eat! read more

One bite and I'm officially obsessed! These cronuts are crispy on the outside, buttery and airy on the inside but still has the soft slightly chewy core of a traditional donut. We tried the lemon bar, raspberry pistachio and apple pie filled layered donuts. While all three were excellent, my favorite was the raspberry pistachio. I'll definitely be back to try other flavors! read more

My wife is a very picky donut connoisseur, so the reviews and a friend's endorsement encouraged me to choose Parlor for her birthday breakfast. Happy to say their donuts and coffee are wife approved! The pistachio raspberry donuy was flavorful without being overly sweet, and the French toast donut tasted exactly as it should with a not-too-srrong cinnamon flavor. The coffee was also very good as well, and made with obvious attention and care. If you like your donuts big and a little extra than your standard glazed (though they offer that too), Parlor seems like a great go to. read more

Parlor doughnuts just opened a new location in West U and they had a promotion for a free doughnut on their grand opening day. I downloaded the app to get the deal and came in the afternoon after volunteering. They had 6 donuts available for the free doughnut deal. I saw that their blueberry hill flavor only had one left so I decided to get that. My friend got their chocolate one. These doughnuts were absolutely fire. They were so soft, flaky, and layered. The blueberry icing was soo good and not overly sweet at all. These croissant doughnuts are definitely worth the hype and I can't wait to come back to try more flavors read more

My friends raved about this place so I wanted to try it out. I got the mango passion refresher and a mini. The mini was a little larger than bite-sized but was so good. I definitely want to come back and try their other doughnuts because the outside was crispy and flakey while the inside was soft. It was the perfect sweetness for me and left me wanting more. The mango passion refresher was truly what it is called, refreshing. It was perfect for a hot day. read more

These are awesome. The croissant doughnuts are super tasty with great mouthfeel. Lots of flavors are available and the only downside is the price; roughly $4/ doughnut. Each of the flavors we got were delicious. The interior is clean and spacious! read more

I've only been here twice and it's really because their donuts are so good that if I went more often, I'd be bigger than a house lol the first time I went I had their strawberry and I think another flavor which I can't recall at the moment. But recently, I got their cinnamon roll and their strawberry. I went at a later time, so there was only a couple in front of me in the first time I went I think it was a few people in front of me,.. They are super efficient so you're not there waiting all day. read more

Stop by for a TGTG box. Their regular donuts are great. I decided to also get their vegan/gluten friendly donuts. It is very small for the price tag. Texture wise, it's a bit crumbly and a tad dry. I'll pass on that next time. Will return to get regular donuts for the family! read more

I would describe Parlor Doughnuts' offerings more as either cronuts or pastries. Maybe I'm too much of a traditionalist, but they don't really look or taste like donuts, though some of the donuts we tried were good. I tried a bite of the maple donut with nuts on top and thought it was very tasty, as were the mini cinnamon sugar donuts, which were really like little sweet biscuits. I would not recommend the keto-friendly donuts. The one I ordered (strawberry circus with a vanilla base) was really more of a moist cake in a donut shape and was super sticky--you really need a fork to eat it, and I wouldn't suggest holding in your had, so messy. And the flavor was meh, plus I had to wait an extra five minutes for them to custom make it--the keto donuts weren't ready in the standard display case. Overall, Parlor Doughnuts is a fun concept and pretty store, but it won't be my go-to for breakfast donuts. read more

I liked everything but holiday cream. It tasted like air freshener. You're good with any variety of doughnut but that one. They have really neat flavors (except for holiday cream) and aren't overly sweet. The dough is more dense than Shipley's but they all have a nice crust. read more

Omgggg this was my first time here and I loved it! Christie is soooo nice, gave great recommendations and was very welcoming. Definitely coming back! I had the chicken bacon ranch which is made to order so it was fresh and definitely savory! I also had the coconut cream filled mini and it was perfect with my freshly brewed coffee! 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Pleasantly surprised to have a donut "boutique" in this area, besides the regular OG places. I tried the seasonal apple pie donut and it was spectacular! They have an amazing variety to choose from, but I chose the seasonal so I can make it a point to slowly try each one. Location is great. Cute space with some seating inside and out. read more

Wow! So happy to discover this adorable place! Love the lighting and decor! However, what I love the most is the variety of gluten-free and vegan donuts! Talk about a win win. The vegan gluten free french toast donut was super! I ate it before snapping a photo. The service was quick and efficient. If you are in need of a sweet treat give this place a try! read more

I love this place because they have keto friendly options...HOWEVER...the presentation of the keto donuts is pretty bad like they just don't care. It took me a minute to even figure out which was which. Anyways won't be back to this location. The Heights location is great. read more

I stopped by today for their grand opening to redeem my free doughnut (must use their app)! I didn't have to wait in line and was able to go straight to the cashier to order my doughnut. I got the chocolate chocolate flavor and it was sooo good. I've never had a doughnut taste super flaky and I loved the consistency of it! I will definitely be back! read more

The doughnuts were good, not anything I would come back for, but they were okay. The reason for the bad review is because of the Matcha. This matcha was the absolute worst thing I ever drank. It tasted extremely fishy. I could only drink 1 sip before throwing it away. The service was fine and the inside of the bakery is really beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, but I would not come back. Paying $6 for a matcha you would hope it tasted good, but this was very weak. read more
