    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Plenty of parking out front. Came across this place when leaving Be More Pacific. We ordered coconut cream filled mini and a raspberry filled powdered sugar mini. Would've been nice had they been warmed up. Anyways it satisfied the sweet tooth. Clean open space. Friendly staff. The raspberry filled powdered sugar donut was my fave. If you like donuts, give this place a try!

    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.

    Turtle Cheesecake and Double Chocolate
    jason j.

    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.

It needed more ice for me, so I asked for extra, which helped. Also could use a touch of sweetener. I waited about 8-10 minutes for my order, and by the time my food came out, a table had opened up, so timing worked out perfectly. The space has a really nice vibe overall and feels like a good place to sit for a bit, catch up with someone, or get some work done. Overall, solid experience.
