Parlor Doughnuts made me eat them 三 times 一 month( Before this, I had only ever taken one bite of a donut in my entire life, and I had completely forgotten its taste and texture. I don't really like bread, so I had never truly tried a donut. I stumbled upon this store, and it looks like a place that will make girls unable to resist spending moneyso I went in with the mindset of buying it just for its looks. The owner was very welcoming and efficient. Unexpectedly, the donuts had a croissant-like texture, a rich blend of wheat and maple syrup flavors--FAMILY WHO KNOWS?! Donuts are one of the few sweets that don't try to be overly dramatic. Unlike cakes, which need to be presented as special treats, or macarons, which use color as their identity, donuts simply stand there round, coated with a little sugar on the outside and filled with a little filling inside, their unassuming demeanor almost bordering on humility. But one bite reveals that this humility is all an illusion--the icing sugar greets you first, then the cream takes over the negotiations, and the chocolate cleans up the mess. The three parties cooperate seamlessly, and human will is like a ceasefire agreement, signed without resistance. Donuts, with their round shape, seem to smooth out all regrets: the icing is sweet without being frivolous, the filling is rich without being ostentatious, and the dough is soft like after a wonderful dream. They lack the pomp and circumstance of delicacies, yet they possess the ability to leave a lasting impression. One donut satisfies the stomach, but it's the heart that's won over first. Strawberry is the most sociable, winning hearts from the moment it appears; cinnamon is the old-fashioned type, initially seeming stiff, but becoming indispensable over time; chocolate is like a seasoned middle-aged person, quietly commanding attention; and cream filling is the most cunning, appearing unassuming on the surface, but one bite reveals that it has hidden the best of everything inside. The kitten meme is my review of each donuts read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The last 4 times I have stopped in Parlor Doughnuts they have been out of Keto Doughnuts. Today is Saturday February 7th and at 9:38 AM and they don't have any keto doughnuts. At this point I don't know why they are still on the menu because it seems like they do not serve Keto Doughnuts anymore. I wasted my time trudging through the snow that wasn't cleared away from the sidewalk just to find out once again, no keto. Not to mention that our handicap-able friends with disabilities would not be able to make it in this establishment because of their carelessness with cleaning the snow. There was also a terrible sulfur smell that assaulted my nose upon opening the door. Either they were making the world's biggest batch of scrambled eggs or they have a plumbing problem. Very disappointed with this location. read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Only cleared snow directly in front of the door but not the rest of the sidewalk. - Donuts Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Cherry coconut pie donut had no filling (just a solid donut). Pumpkin chai cheesecake donut had chunky, curdled-looking icing. Sausage biscuit sandwiches did not have the fig jam on them. Coffees were good. read more

Ah their newest location, this one in Greenwood. It is quite spacious and used to be a fast food joint... donuts are better. Remember these are not your typical donuts, these are more like cronuts. Croissant dough in donut shape and they are quite large I must say. Delicious through and through. I am a big fan of the minis... they are just right for snacking and come in a variety of flavors also. Their coffees are great too. You should really give them a try if you have never been. But careful, you might get hooked. read more

The donuts here were pretty thick and kind of dry, tasted kind of old. Not the best by far

So excited to have a Parlor Doughnuts so close to home. This place is soooo freakin' cute. We got some doughnuts (of course) and some breakfast sammies, everything was incredible! We will definitely be back!! read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Lemon Bar, Blueberry Hill & French Toast Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Having never been to Parlor Doughnuts, I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised by all the choices! Services is friendly and helpful! Quiet atmosphere with plenty of seating! The doughnuts are a cross between a croissant and a doughnut. I got the coconut cream and it was so good! Also, I bought a doughnut mini in cinnamon flavor for my grandson and it's so much better than a doughnut hole. Larger and the perfect size for little hands. All the flavors looked good. Loved the details on the table legs and the different textures and patterns in the seatings. read more

Went in yesterday for a Yelp event and ended up staying and buying lunch later on! I tried the Spinach pesto sandwich and it hit the spot! The pesto was super tasty and loved that the sandwich was served warm. The space is really pretty inside and the seating options are super comfortable for those looking for a good spot to post up for the day! They have some great options for merch as well. The staff were very friendly and explained that they also have gluten friendly and keto donuts available! If this location was a bit closer to me, I'd be here more often but I'm glad I got to stop in yesterday! read more

I have never been here before but I will be back! Incredible donuts! I thought they would be cream filled and I was worried it'd be too much but they're not, they have a great balance, not overly sweet. The dough is a croissant type texture that's incredible. Staff was also very friendly! read more

Finally tried Parlor and I'm mad I hadn't tried them sooner but also glad I'd never been because they are so addicting! Took my daughter who was visiting from Cali and she almost decided to stay just to be able to have these donuts regularly. We got the Blueberry Hill, French toast, and Honey Glazed and they were all phenomenal. The crunch when you bite them plus the super soft interior is what makes these donuts so scrumptious. The service was great and we got there during a time when they were completely dead and had to make our donuts to order so they were super fresh. We took them home after trying them in the shop so that we could heat them up a little and they were even better warm. 10/10. I can't wait to go back. read more

If you're looking for extravagant specialty doughnuts, this is your spot. Every single one we tried was excellent. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say the French toast. That seemed to have the best flavor throughout. We didn't stick around long enough to talk to the staff or see the inside, so no insights there. We'll have to pay more attention to that when we make our next visit, which likely won't be too long from now. read more

When walking in the first door had a very musty smell. The inside kinda had the same smell but was stronger in the doorway. I was greeted quickly and taken care of fast. The donuts were tasty I could not eat one by myself. But if you are wanting a true donut type this is not the place for you. read more

I went here because they had vegan donuts. The girl taking my order was very confusing when she was explaining that there's different bases and glazes that I could do. It seemed like she was saying there's only two type of donuts left and that's all you can get... once I understood there were two bases left and multiple glazes to pick from that was easier. I don't know if she over glazed my donuts or because they're glazed and vegan or what but somehow my donut was moist in texture but dry in consistency. I appreciate them having vegan options though. The vegan donuts are smaller in size than the regular donuts. The donut shop itself inside had a cute look. My husband liked his regular blueberry doughnut. My husband has gone back again; however, I would only go back if I was really craving a donut and they were the only option nearby. read more

Loved this place! We stopped in for the grand opening day and were pleasantly surprised. The line was long but it moved super quickly and the staff were so friendly. I also expected them to have limited options for their opening day but they had the full menu and the donut case was fully stocked. It's amazing to me that this used to be a Wendy's since it's so beautiful on the inside now. There's a drive-thru, but I think only for pick up orders. This visit, I tried a maple pecan (my favorite donut flavor in general) and a chocolate keto. I knew the maple pecan would be amazing and it was! I was hesitant about the keto donut but the texture was actually really nice and the chocolate icing was good. It wasn't as yummy as the maple pecan, but probably as long as you don't eat them back to back, you wouldn't even notice. My mom had the coconut creme filled which was the most delicious of the three. In addition to donuts, they also have a variety of hot breakfast items like sandwiches and tacos, and cold and hot coffee drinks. I'll definitely be back!! read more

I was at Parlor Doughnuts for a Yelp Elite event and decided to bring doughnuts home for the family. I got a maple bacon for myself and a honey glazed for my husband. We tried their minis - raspberry filled and coconut - and I got the keto maple to test. Then I got a doggie doughnut and two mocha lattes, one hot, one iced. Let me tell you something: you might think you've had doughnuts. If you haven't been to Parlor, you're missing out. They are FRESH. A little crispy, soft, and with outstanding flavor. There's no favorite here - there all incredible, and their barista is top notch. Such a cute place, great service, and amazing doughnuts. Get yourself to this place asap! read more

Placed an order online so that my donuts would be ready and I could get to an event on time. The vegan donuts were not ready, despite calling ahead when I placed the order to move the time up. The restaurant is also filthy, including the restroom. read more

I'm beyond excited to have a Parlor on the Southside. It's located in the old Wendy's in front of Barkefellers and next to Lowe's. We stopped in there in hopes of trying the Mardi Gras doughnut but they unfortunately weren't doing them. So we ended up grabbing a cookies and cream and carnival doughnut. I absolutely love how flakey and fresh they are. The cookies and cream looks like it would be overly sweet but it wasn't. It was delicious. The carnival was a bit sweeter. The iced coffees were good and well balanced. Not too sweet yet not too much of a coffee flavor. There was a slight bit of a line but it moved super fast. I do wish they served your drinks for here like some of the locations but it was ok and didn't take away from the experience. There is plenty of seating even a cozy looking couch. The chairs were comfy and was a place to take a little break have nice conversation and enjoy a midday coffee and snack. read more

Such an awesome spot... the outside hides the awesomeness of the inside and the creations they make! Amazing donuts that are unique and delicious..... highly recommend trying this gem.... I promise in those was in any other high traffic location, it would be booming.... So don't let the outside deceive you! read more

Parlor Doughnuts have a variety of doughnuts to choose from and I like their Iced coffee drinks big dining area too.

As someone who has had a lot of donuts, the French Toast donut is easily the best. Wish I had one closer to home.

If I could give zero stars I would. Waited 40 minutes for two donuts for them to tell me the oven wasn't on.

Food was very good!!! The service was a little slow, but there were only 2 people working and quite a few customers. I will say that the floor was very dirty in the dining area and also in the bathroom. read more

I don't eat sweets very much, but I heard about this place, and I just had to try them. The reviews are spot on. They are a gourmet type of donut. Albeit, they are not 'cheap' in price, they are definitely great for a splurge or special treat. When I was picking up my order I asked the gal how long they have been in business. She said approx 2016. They originated in Indiana too and have expanded out to other locations and states. Well done Parlor donuts. Welcome to the south side. I'll be back ! ;o) read more

OMG! These doughnuts are amazing. Sort of half croissant half donut concoction. I had the maple pecan one and it just became my favorite all time doughnut. Great coffee too. Decor is cool. There are mini doughnuts with jelly filling as well. Taking a box of 10 of these home. Service was excellent. read more

Ordered online & picked up at drive-thru...so easy! My spinach pesto Bkfst sandwich (opted for the seeded bread) was delicious! The donuts are great too (I cut them in fourths) - kind of like a cronut & a danish combined. Service was quick & very friendly! A little pricey & no senior discount (only drawback)- but yummy!

Their donuts are delicious and my coworkers love them so i thought id bring some in. I stopped in at 5:45 pm and the two workers had already cleaned everything and pretty much closed the place down. They both came over and stared at me with a RBF. I asked for a dozen of whatever was left. The old woman or girl (couldn't tell) said she'd have to start everything from scratch. I just politely said no worries and left. I understand running out of stock early but you're open for another 45 minutes.... And there's a way to say things to people. read more

All of their donuts were great! The only downside is that they don't have regular donuts (cake, glazed, etc).

Pretty good donuts but possibly the worst staff I have ever seen. My second time here and both times they were awful. Today I walked in, the only one in the store mind you the girl working the counter just turned around and walked off. She just stood at the entrance to the kitchen. Finally the girl working drive through walked over and said do you know what you want? The other girl just stood there staring. I was the only customer, no one in the drive through either. I would add it doesn't seem especially clean. read more

Recently tried Parlor and was impressed. The layered doughnut idea is a tasty one. Enjoyed the French Toast and Maple Bacon and both were fabulous. Attentive and smiling staff was a bonus. I will certainly spend more at this location. Nice addition to this area. read more

honestly i'm very disappointed. waiting 20 minutes for 2 doughnuts is ridiculous just for them to also tell us the oven wasn't on.. very unprofessional. read more

Absolutely delicious and a great variety to choose from. The service was friendly too.

I went through the drive through ordered my food. Paid right away at the window. Waited and waited on my toast! 10 minutes later still no came to the window to let me know what the hold up was. I had to get to work so I paid for my food but had to leave without it. I called the store several times. I left a message no one has bothered to call me back!! I left a email still NOTHING!!!! read more

The doughnuts were very average, and they kinda all tasted the same to my friend and I's opinion. Especially with the price I would probably go to a different doughnut shop, but the place isn't bad by any means. read more

Everything is good, great service, prices, delicious breakfast sandwiches and endless donuts choices! The croissant donut was my favorite.

Tried it for the first time. So many choices and a so pretty. Fresh. Tasty will put a smile on your lips. Good location too

This place is awesome! Easily some of the best donuts I've ever had, they look amazing and they taste amazing too. It was $11 after tax for 3 donuts, but you get what you pay for. I noticed other people leaving 4 star reviews with no complaints really, yall are lame. These are seriously good and staff was friendly! Give this nice new business with helpful staff the review it deserves. 5 stars all day. Cookies and creme, churro and French toast were the 3 I tried. Great! read more
