It would have done me well to do a review of my order from here sooner to the time that I had these so I can remember all the flavors of the two dozen doughnuts I bought for my sister, mutual friends, and colleagues. I would have to say that the response to the layered and flaky doughnuts were mostly meh. I cannot remember every flavor I got but I definitely got the blueberry with hopes of having a whole one to myself. I love a blueberry doughtnut. I feel maybe most of us do. I also remember getting the coconut cream, strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries, french toast and the double chocolate. I was going to buy maple bacon for a savory option to add in the mix but I came to my senses and remembered how gross maple bacon doughnuts always seem to me even though a lot of people liked them. They had a vegan choice but I didn't have that diet amongst the " taste testers". So, I skipped over that option too. Well, simply enough......the doughnuts are just not. that. great...... Why not? Well, I don't know how they cook the doughnuts but the after bite is that of grease enough to make one queasy and I question the quality of the ingredients that the doughnuts are glazed with. That being said, you can make out the flavors you ordered but that after bite ruins the flavor. What I was left with was doughnut scraps of those who tried the doughnuts and didn't go in for another bite so the rest was discarded. I thought that these doughnuts would be scrumptious and delightful but they ended up being "just okay" at best. read more

Friendly staff Tons of doughnut options, very gourmet doughnuts may I add! Cute parlor vibe, reminds me of home (Nashville). read more

This place was nice and all the decor and everything was nice. They have a lot of different items to choose from. I am a simple person and really like traditional donuts but I decided to try the cronut with maple and bacon. It was good. It would have been better with less sugar and also if it was warm but it was still pretty good. There's plenty of parking there and the bathrooms were also nice. It's a great spot to try out if you're craving some sweets. read more

Ordered delivery from this spot on a whim. Great decision. The donuts were plump, which is exactly what I'm looking for in a donut and in a partner. Service was pretty quick for delivery too. Can't argue with that. I can't speak to the ambience because I haven't been there yet but the photos look nice. All in all, would recommend. read more

I stopped by this shop yesterday morning. The doughnuts are not like ones I have ever tried. They are big, but not as heavy as standard doughnuts. I had a hard time choosing 4 flavors to try. My roommate as well commented how light and tasty they were. The service was ok, and there was not a line when I arrived. The place was clean and calm. Would recommend coming here again. read more

This is an expensive donut shop that isn't really worth the hype. The staff wasn't very helpful to make recommendations, so I got the french toast donut because it was the last one left--I assumed it must be a fan favorite! Unfortunately, it was a bit dry and too sweet for my taste. My friend got the Vietnamese coffee one and you could barely taste the coffee/condensed milk flavors that we were expecting. To be honest, both donuts tasted pretty similar. Nice and clean location, but I don't think I'd come back. read more

There are so many flavors to choose from daily and the layered donuts are huge! Very cute place for breakfast/brunch. My absolute favorite thing from here are the mini cronies filled with coconut cream. So good! It's just the right amount and not super sweet. read more

If you love cronuts, this place is right up your alley! The doughnuts are topped which basically means the dough base is the same for every doughnut. On this occasion I tried bourbon caramel, French toast & chocolate flavor. The best hands down was the bourbon caramel followed by French toast. They were super delicious! Honestly you can't really go wrong with any choice bc the doughnut itself is great! I went late in the evening so I can only imagine how much better they taste early in the morning! read more

Got a couple doughnuts and a coffee to go. I had the Oreo one and really like it. The doughnuts have a fluffy and almost croissant texture which I like much better than the cake -like kind. The toppings are super sweet. I also got a mocha which was pretty good. The service was friendly. read more

Stopped by Parlor on my way to an appointment in the heights. I wanted a breakfast sandwich, but when I arrived I was told the stove was broken. I decided to try a doughnut and was really surprised by how delicious it was. The doughnut was similar to a croissant, it was so unique and tasty. Will definitely come back another time to try the breakfast sandwich. read more

Tried Parlor for the first time because a friend recommended it. As soon as I walked in, they showed great service. The gentleman at the register was helpful in letting me know their top sellers. They have a nice setup that's appealing to the eyes and not your usual idea of a donut shop. I grabbed two French toast doughnuts, the lemon delight and bourbon caramel...All were really good (ok I shared. I only tasted the French toast and bourbon, but the lemon was all mine). I love the croissant like texture. Enjoy the pix! read more

Love the doughnuts here! They're a mix between a regular doughnut and a croissant. They have so many flavors to choose from. Got the turtle cheesecake, blueberry, raspberry pistachio, Vietnamese coffee, peanut butter, and French toast donuts. Loved the turtle cheesecake and raspberry pistachio donuts. If you want a more savory flavor, I would recommend the Vietnamese coffee donut. Love that there's parking in the front and the shop is open until 6:30pm! read more

This review is for the gluten free doughnuts only. I want to start off saying it is amazing that there is a gluten free option at this popular spot. An option is better than no option at all and they overall tase pretty good. The staff were sweet and helpful. That being said, when you walk in, you won't see the gf option because they're kept in the back. This is probably to reduce cross contamination but compared to the large, fluffy, decadent regular doughnuts, they can be a bit disappointing. You can pick what flavor you want them and what you will receive is a cold, small, doughnut base and depending on what topping you requested, that will be drizzled on top. You can't go in expecting what you see on the shelves or else, like me, you will be disappointed. I wish they were advertised accurately. I probably would have only had one. read more

Oh God, love the Mayan Moca Chocolate drink. This place is FIRE. We stopped here at this Parlour Doughnuts, and we were impressed. Nice looking and clean inside. I love how they designed the place. Minute you walk inside, you smell donuts. We sat down inside, since it was a little cold to sit outside. Had some donuts and our Mayan coffee. Everything was pretty sweet and delicious. Taste a bit different from the norm. Great staff, I will most likely without a doubt be back on my next trip. read more

Went on Sunday morning at 9:30. Plenty of parking, beautiful store, ordering was easy, staff wasn't friendly but they were efficient. Order came out quickly and my family was very happy with the doughnuts. I feel like the value is good and I will be back. read more

Okay so we went here and we fell IN LOVE. Let's start with me. I had the turtle cheesecake- kinda gross. Too sweet but haha it's literally a donut so not super surprising. And then I had the carnival. This doughnut tasted like nostalgia. Like I felt like both a little kid after church to a hungover teen to now a young adult all in one bite. Really good stuff. Boyfriend ordered the French toast- it was insane. The flavors it gives is seriously a job well done. I don't remember what the other one was- didn't like it. But it's a cute vibe. Feels more like a coffee shop- mom daughter dates, people studying but was still cute. Looking forward to going back again. read more

Parlor Doughnuts - For sure the French toast. Life changer. - Donuts Near Me - Houston, Texas

The best donuts ever. The texture. Full design. I live in Cyprus and I find this place near to downtown.

There weren't that many options when we got there but it was 11am on a Saturday so it wasn't totally surprising. We got the white Christmas, French toast, and Vietnamese coffee donuts and they were good and fluffy! The Vietnamese coffee one was the best by a long shot. I would like to try more flavors since the selection is normally large. read more

First trip to this donut shop to check out if I agreed with the positive reviews. Received a very warm welcome from the staff who was extremely helpful. Plenty of flavor to choose from. I went with the sandy beach donut which had a croissant texture. Nice flavor however the knock against this establishment was that they don't warm up the donuts for you which in my opinion gives the donut a better taste and brings out whatever flavor the donut happens to be. The inside of the establishment could have been a lot cleaner. The floor was dirty and the trash can on the inside was overflowing. There were at least four to have employees standing around who could have made the restaurant more presentable. read more

This is about to be a lengthy review but thought I should share. I placed an online order hoping to be in and out quickly. When I arrived, I asked one of the many confused girls for my order. One girl gave me my coffee, and a few minutes later I got my "breakfast sandwich" (see photo for the so called sandwich). One of the girls told be the minis I had ordered weren't ready and that they would take about 15 min. I asked if I could just get a refund instead. After 10 min. of her attending other clients I walked to the cashier and she said "you're waiting for your refund right?" And I said "yes. Please". I never left the counter and about 10 minutes later she asks me "do you need something?" "Yes, my money back" and she replied "I don't know how to do it, she'll do it (and points to the other girl who walked to the kitchen)" but never even cared to mention it to her. When the other girl came back with a straight unprofessional face I asked her if she could help me with my refund for the minis to what she replied "they're not ready". I said "I know that's why I want a refund" She only says "what's your name?" I give her my name and she says she doesn't have an order with my name. (!!?!?) It's already been about 25 min. No doughnuts, and no money back. One of the other girls comes up and they figure it out and said they've returned my money. The unprofessional attitude and a lack of resolution left me dissatisfied. The coffee was okay, but the breakfast sandwich was disappointing, and I missed out on trying their doughnuts due to the lengthy process. If you're planning on stopping by during the weekend, I'd recommend having enough time - expect to wait at least 15-20 min. or more if you're ordering more than doughnuts but definitely recommend sticking to just doughnuts. And to the business: train your employees and encourage them to have a better attitude towards clients. read more

Donuts, coffee, interior - all great Service - just OK, felt rushed by staff member Hot Food - they stopped taking orders 'due to a 30 minute wait.' That's entirely too long for breakfast tacos when half of your menu is designed to be grab and go. This didn't a sit down restaurant. read more

These donuts are addicting!! I went in to get a coffee and added a donut, why not. They all looked yummy! They did not disappoint. The Vietnamese coffee donut is my fave so far. read more

We really liked the donuts, which are more like croissants. And the breakfast tacos and avo toast were also good! I wish it was served on a plate rather than to go but that's ok. As far as the service, you could definitely see the difference in attitudes between some of the staff. A couple were very kind and one not so much. The donut display, tile and the old radio all gave such a nice presentation. It could have been a little cleaner but it isn't my first time wiping my own table. read more

Amazing croissant style doughnuts. There are so many flavors and their coffee is great too. Loved the raspberry pistachio donut; it wasn't too too sweet and the doughnut was soft and fresh. The doughnuts here are pretty heavy, but really delicious. Iced coffee hit the spot too. Will def be back! read more

My thought of these doughnuts is that they taste delicious! Was not expecting for it to be a mesh of doughnut and croissant. I don't even know how to explain it. We tried several flavors and they were all amazing, it is quickest to list the least favorite. My least favorite was the raspberry pistachio, probably bc i was expecting it to be filled and it wasn't. Will come back for more!!! read more

We visited last weekend and got two matcha lattes and a few mini donuts. There were 4-6 staff members and only one person who seemed to be working while we were waiting. The area behind the counter was messy and unorganized. And, the donuts were not very tasty and the Matcha latte were over sweetened. Bummer. read more

20/10 rating. Fresh and crispy but soft and fluffy at the same time. Lol hard to describe but service was amazing. The staff were all nice and help. The place in all was nice and relaxing read more

I have the biggest sweet tooth and these donuts exceeded my expectations. There is a wide variety of flavors and the donuts are so good. They have like a croissant like texture which I love. I've only been twice and both times they were delicious. I've also bought the breakfast tacos which were a 10/10. The iced vanilla matcha (6/10). It had a powdery taste and match wasn't mixed well. Customer service was amazing both times. read more

I just LOVE these donuts! They are sweet but not too sweet and they are not as heavy, as the bread is so light like a croissant. I go here at least once a week with my son which also loves these donuts! Definitely recommend! read more

Blown away by the atmosphere. Such a cool vibe. Doughnuts are more like pastries - not your typical doughnut. Excellent coffee, too!

Absolutely loved it! The donuts have a perfect croissant like texture & are delicious! The coffee was spot on just like I like it! The customer service here is great, I felt welcomed & right at home. They had a relaxing ambience. 10/10 ! read more

Delicious donuts. It's a drive for me but will definitely be back. Service wasn't very friendly but donuts made up for it.

great shop! came in on a sunday morning and there was no line. we tried the honey glazed, french toast, and sandy beach. all three were great. the french toast was my favorite followed by the glazed. however the sandy beach really does taste like a cinnamon roll and was my husbands favorite! will definitely be back read more

The donuts were good and not too sweet. The staff was super nice and explained what their different flavors were since it was my first time there! They would definitely taste better warm but I did go in the middle of the day so it's understandable why they weren't. Overall, nice place with a good ambience! read more
