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!
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!
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.
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.
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 a variety of layered doughnuts. Similar to a cronut but larger. They're mainly dipped on top which helps in the doughnut not being overly sweet. I favored the Maple Pecan and Lemonade flavors out of the ones I tried. The Coconut Cream and Raspberry are filled doughnuts so can get a little messy. Each doughnut is easily shareable so grab a friend, a knife, and enjoy. read more

the donuts were AMAZING! my new favorite donut place. they use a croissant dough.. so soft and flaky. all of them were perfectly sweet and not overwhelming. i have been wanting to try this place for the longest time. i took advantage while i was in the area. i can confirm that it is WORTH THE HYPE!! service was quick and the workers were kind. they made donuts on the spot, in the back, if they didn't have it in the display case. the shop was decorated and it's was cute. no one was in there so there was a lot of space but the shop itself isn't very big. this came out to a total of $24. the price per donut is a bit cheaper if you get a dozen. still worth it! read more

Walking in, you'll see a cute little shop that smells wonderful. The donuts all look so good and fluffy! I got the popular French toast donut. They have a nice assortment that is sure to please anyone. I ordered a caffe late plain and it was so smooth. It paired perfectly with my donut. I will definitely go back soon to try out their breakfast and maybe a little side donut action... I highly recommend coming here and trying for yourself. Line gets long but service seems pretty quick for coffee and donuts. I'm not sure about food. There's a few places to sit. But a lot of people ordered to go. read more

So good. So fresh. Ask which ones are warm and buy that one. Melts in your mouth. Really cute and bright space too. read more
I was very excited about these as they look absolutely scrumptious in photos I've seen and they offer options for special diets (vegan, gluten free, keto [low carb, no sugar]). Note that part. Located in a newish looking center on Yale (the other side of I-10 from Sprouts. Easy to get to with a shared parking lot. The feel inside gives vague retro vibes like one would expect from a "parlor." They do have some tables but not much. I went with my daughter, sister (the vegan), and her husband at around 10 am on Wednesday. They had a few people but by the time we left about an hour later, there weren't enough seats and the line was reaching the door. First thing you spot is this huge display case with all the flavors. They only have a few filled donuts - everything else is just toppings and icing/glaze. We had questions though (they do not put the special donuts in the display case) and let me say that the staff aren't very knowledgeable. I wanted to know if the gluten-free donuts also contain eggs (they do - darn) and for some odd reason, the lady said their VEGAN donuts also have eggs. I stopped. And asked her again. She gave the same answer. That was when the guy in charge overheard and was like, "Nooo, Vegan donuts do NOT contain eggs." But as he said that, he pulled out a binder to double check. Eek. Turns out vegan donuts are made in the back for you. I am fairly certain they have not had an order for them before (or at least these particular employees). You have to tell them the flavors you want (from the front case) as long as it's nothing that contains non-vegan things (ex: maple bacon, campfire) and are not filled (the filling is not vegan). My sister ordered first and I went crazy and got: Blueberry, churro, cookies and cream (my daughter's favorite flavor in general), and creamsicle (think oranges). I added on French toast at the end because it says it's popular. I also got a lavender latte (all house-made syrups). Didn't taste the lavender at all but it wasn't bad. But I still give it 3 stars because why does it not taste like the ingredient it's named after. These are HUGE. It has a flaky dough and I sadly did not get a filled donut (WHYYY) but it works with the icing as long as you get a decent bite. The icing is on the sweet side. My favorites are probably the churro (because one side isn't iced) and the French toast (the entire thing isn't iced). I had cut up everything to share with my non-vegan table mates and my sister STILL hadn't gotten hers! It had been 30 minutes. We asked and almost ten minutes later, one of the ladies came up and asked what the flavors were because they forgot. I'm beginning to feel offended on behalf of all vegans. And once the donuts came out... it did not help with the let down. Vegan donuts here are cake donuts with different flavored glaze. They are half the size of the regular donut (observe how large the box is with them). They don't even top with crushed Oreos when those are accidentally vegan. I ate a tiny piece and they're overly sweet with an apparent taste of soy milk (I despise soy milk - it makes me gag) but the only thing going for them is they're moist and at least they tried. But not very hard. They're the same price as the regular donuts (round up to $4). We expected a similar product made with vegan butter sticks. There are vegan croissants out there. There are also gluten free graham crackers and vegan marshmallows while we're at it. I understand vegan substitutes are more expensive but soy milk is the cheapest vegan milk and they didn't use anything else that would merit $4 per tiny cake donut y sister finished in 4 bites and she's a slow eater. People don't mind paying extra to get something that looks like what its regular counterpart is, FYI. Someone mentioned Dominique Ansel's cronut. Do not compare these to his. His are amazing in terms of flavor combinations that change every month (this month is Caramel & Malt, filled with salted caramel ganache with a creamy malt ganache) and the brilliance of French pastry-making with every laminated layer in place and you get filling in EVERY bite. They're also $7. Each. This place uses a flaky, croissant-like dough, offers flavors that are more common and flavors topped and they don't really go the extra mile? Barely even a foot for the vegan ones. Sorry. Got carried away. Try it at least once if you're not vegan (I didn't see their keto/GF donuts so I can't say anything on those). My son's multiple food allergies gets him nothing here. If you're vegan, go to Voodoo donuts where their vegan donuts look like their regular donuts, are decadent, and aren't so obviously different. I'd give 4 stars but my table's experience as a whole brought it down to a solid 3. Oh. They also serve breakfast items. Breakfast tacos, avocado toast, açaí bowl... but almost like a side note because that donut display is overpowering. read more

So yummy!!! Parking can be a little hectic since it's small and there's lot of good places in the strip. The service was quick and the workers were friendly. The shop was very clean and organized. It's such a cute set up and all of the doughnuts look amazing. I got the turtle cheesecake doughnut and it was just what I expected! I enjoyed the fun flavors they had and hope to come back soon! read more

I've been seeing all the food influencers raving about this place so I decided to check it out. Unfortunately I waited in line for 15 minutes and when I got to the register was told it would be an hour wait because they are making the donuts fresh and already have online orders that are backed up. So I ordered the minis just to taste. The ladies working that day were nice and patient. The ambiance was clean and cozy. I did get a chance to review the menu so I know what I want to try when I return. The minis were good. Cinnamon sugar, crème filed, and was supposed to have a raspberry filled however, those didn't make it to the bag. I'll have to come back to give an update on this review. read more

Was one o the BEST donuts I've ever had, they're super soft and moist and also have a nice crunch. The texture is similar to a croissant and has thin layers within the donut. The flavors were very rich and tasty as well. Definitely recommend!! read more

Good place to get some layered donuts (or as they say, cronut - mix between a donut and croissant). I went during soft opening so they had some kinks to work through but overall I enjoyed the donuts. I tried the raspberry pistachio and liked the salty/sweet combo. Also tried the iced mayan mocha and was pretty good as well. The cream filled coconut donut was pretty good as well, it did have a lot of cream and filling. They have a wide variety of flavors (even seasonal ones) and would be a hit for a party or office treat. I'd go back to try their other flavors, would recommend if you're in the area! read more
A friend from Colorado recommended this place to us. Said they were great doughnuts, so my husband and I had to give it a shot. Went on a Sunday afternoon (1:30pm), not crowded and plenty of parking. When shopping for doughnuts, it looked like so many were gone, but the employee stated they could make anything we wanted. So we ordered their popular, french toast doughnut. We also got the raspberry/pistachio and a chocolate keto friendly doughnut. The keto doughnut was alright, kinda cold.. wasn't the best keto friendly sweets I had. The French Toast doughnut was amazing actually. The consistency was more croissant/fluffy feel versus a "true" doughnut. Prices were reasonable and we liked the cute little shop! read more
Was recommended by a friend to try this out because he thought it was the best donut he ever have. I would agree if you like croissant texture like donuts. They were soft, moist, and chewy. I got the favorite French Toast and Raspberry/pistachio. French toast was amazing. I did wish it was a bit warmer when served. The raspberry/pistachio was good but wasn't my fave. The staff were kind and helpful. If you see any donuts missing, they will happily make it and it was quick. There was also plenty of seating area and seemed chill. Definitely will come back and try other items of their menu. read more

Went to Parlor Doughnuts this morning and had a WONDERFUL experience. The doughnuts are the "cronut" type (croissant x doughnut) with a TON of various flavors and toppings. Ours were fresh, perfectly baked, flaky, and just the right amount of topping/doughnut ratio. They have adorable little minis as well. The shop is trendy and modern, a few tables and counters to eat at if you are dining in. They sell shirts, mugs, and some really cute stickers and buttons also. I'm not sure if it is because it is new or because we went early on a Sunday, but the line was very short and the staff moved quickly. Everyone was very nice! They also have wonderful cold brew and lattes, and other breakfast foods! The chorizo and bacon tacos were good, as was the salsa. A little on the greasy side? But hot, fresh, and yummy. Perfect compliment to a sweet doughnut. They also had various breakfast sammies, acai bowl, oats, avo toast, etc! (They have plenty of gluten-free options and treats for pups as well ) Also going to add, A+ for parking! They are in a small shopping center and have a whole parking lot that was nowhere near full when we went. Overall awesome experience. Highly recommend! read more

Layered doughnuts? Cronuts, if you will. LOL. So, Houston's got legit cronuts. Yay! My favorite would be Raspberry Pistachio- Sweet and very delicious. Love it! One might be a little disappointed if thinking of Parlor's layered donuts like Dominique Ansel's cronuts. Nope! Parlor's layered donuts were not looking elegant like those made by Dominique Ansel but rather a Texas sized surprise! There were various flavors- "Strawberry shortcake" and "cookie and cream" were pretty good, too! Oh no, sugar overload- facepalm! These puff pastry babies seemed to me less buttery than the cronuts that I'd had elsewhere because there were obviously less "layers" as compared to the pastry inside of a "real" cronut like that of a French croissant, but they were still pretty crispy and flaky on the outside. read more

Vibe- If you like donuts and coffee then I'm sure you'll love this new doughnut and coffee shop that's new to Houston (specifically the heights)! I attended their grand opening and I'd definitely come back in the future :) it's not huge but there are a few tables and a bar stool area to sit. Customer service- Great! The owners were very kind and hands on. All the staff were nice. Food/drinks- I got the blueberry hill doughnut (got to use my coupon for a free doughnut) that had hints of blueberry and powdered sugar; it was so good. There are vegan and keto options for the doughnuts!!! I also got a hot matcha latte with oatmilk, lavender, and vanilla. Parking- There's a good amount of parking in the lot. Some of the spots are reserved for specific businesses in the lot so be careful when parking! read more

The carnival and cinnamon roll doughnuts were delicious. Soft, pillowy, and with a just-right amount of chew. Priced right (still expensive, but not outrageously so). Service was good and quick. I was in and out in a moment. Friendly staff, but didn't really offer suggestions. read more

I'm one of those people that loves the look and smell of donuts, but who gets very disappointed with most donut places, especially the three chains: Shipleys, Dunkin, and Krispy Kream. I've even tried the gourmet donut shops and found the donut part was just ok, and the topping so massive and sweet it was just not enjoyable overall. However, today I may have very well found donut heaven. Simple store, clean, pleasant workers, and approximately 25 amazing perfect donuts. These are not your round greasy sugary coated donuts. These are as close to a croissant as possible while still being donut like. They're huge in flavor, flaky crispiness on the bottom and sides, and just the right amount of topping/icing to be the just right amount. Pulling the donut apart the dough is perfect- not the chain store blah doughnut but real croissant quality (looks almost like a quality light and pull apart cinnamon roll dough). I will definitely make a trip by there the next time I'm in the area. So many kinds to try! I didn't get pics of the one I tried at the shop (the cinnamon roll flavor), and I made it to the following morning before eating the chocolate peanut one I brought home. I did get a couple of pics of that one. All I can say is great job on some amazing "doughnuts"!! read more

The cashier was obviously new to her job and fumbling over basics like the seasonal coffee Sleighrider vs Flagship coffee blends. I liked the tile floor with its blue star like pattern -- beautifully interconnected for a seamless design. Before arriving, I didn't know if they had tables to dine in. The good news is that they do. So happy they have keto donuts -- with only 3g of carbs. It's the ideal way to blend indulgence with flavor. I ordered cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar keto donuts. Cinnamon sugar was better one of the two. Would love to try the chocolate versions in the future. The coconut flour does give it a subtle coconut flavor -- and I love coconut. This is a charming donut place. It was quite peaceful this morning to listen to jazz and sip on coffee. read more

I came here in a group of three and we thought the donuts (really kind of a croissant-donut combo) and our savory sandwich were all delicious. We agreed that we would all come back again! Since everything we had was delicious, I don't think that you could go wrong with anything you try. We split our order among us, so we all got to try: - French toast donut - this was labeled their most popular flavor, and it was my favorite of the three donuts we tried - Turtle cheesecake donut - Lemon bar - Basil pesto egg with spinach sandwich on ciabatta (yummy, would definitely get again) There is a small seating area inside - a few tables and a few bar-type tables, but a lot of customers took their orders to go, so there seemed to be enough seating for everyone, though at the very end of our time there, two people in a group of three were standing to eat until we left so they could take our chairs. read more

Parlor doughnut is staple of Nashville, TN. Everyone knows about them when you ask for donuts in Nashville and I'm so glad they decided to expand towards Houston area. The moment you step in, the aroma of freshly baked donuts envelops you. The variety is extensive, from classic glazed to inventive flavors like maple pecan, coconut cream, classic chocolate with their twist of mini chips on top. The texture is perfection - fluffy on the inside with a slight crisp on the outside. The staff is not only efficient but also genuinely passionate about their creations, eager to recommend based on your preferences. The cozy ambiance adds to the overall experience, making it a go-to spot for delightful donut indulgence. The only downside might be the limited seating, but the taste more than compensates for it. They have their own parking shared in the complex and some on street parking available if needed. A definite must-try for any donut connoisseur. read more
