Savory Combo
Ellen F.

I always quite enjoy a visit to Parlor Doughnuts for a sweet treat and midday perk up. It's sure good that I can walk here from my home. The storefront has a few tables to sit at and a large display case of all the donuts. Counter service to order is always pretty quick and easy. I like their rewards program in their app, which occasionally has freebies to entice you to come in. Not that I need it, but it sure helps. This most recent visit I got the local feature, which changes by the store and is supposed to be different for each store. This one had Oreo Cheesecake, which combines two of my favorite desserts. So of course I had to get it. I think I got the last one in the display case! They always have more donuts in the back though, as they make more throughout the day. A standard donut here is $3.95 at the time of posting, and dietary accommodating donut (vegan/gluten free, and keto donuts) are $4.25, so the prices are kept pretty fair in my opinion. They also have mini donuts which are a modest price (that I already forgot). There's also doggy donuts for $2.95! Coffee here always hits. I like to get the Mayan Mocha syrup in my latte, which is chocolate and cinnamon and too good not to get. This most recent visit I learned that they have whole bean coffee, and you can get a discount on your next can if you bring the old one back. Anyways, I've been going here and you know I'll be back here.

I had the chocolate keto doughnut, and it was delicious! I also had one of their egg sandwiches and I honestly didn't like it. It was like burnt on parts of the bacon and had no flavor. The cafe is cute though, it's small but has some seating arrangements. The girl who took our order was really nice. I felt bad because it seemed like it was just her and then it got busy quickly.

Amazing acai bowls with great toppings like goji berries and almond butter! I also loved that they had six options for vegan and gluten friendly donuts. The pictures of the vegan/gluten friendly donuts didn't look very appetizing on the menu but they looked and tasted much better in person. They had a large variety of flavors of regular donuts and I definitely recommend trying this place!

Sadiya A.

SO many flavors to choose from! Each donut has layers of flavor depending on what you get ... my personal favorites are the churro, sandy beach, raspberry pistachio, bourbon caramel and turtle cheesecake but my ultimate favorite are the cinnamon sugar minis with the vanilla dip. I love how this location is on the IU Indy campus as well, service is always friendly here too! If you haven't tried Parlor, give it a try

Coconut and Strawberry donut
Isheka O.

Parlor Donuts will change your life! This is a croissant style donut that is buttery, flaky and delicious. I especially love the coconut because it is well balanced and not too sweet. It is hands down my favorite donut spot to date and I always take friends/family here or get them a box as a gift because they are that good! The staff is pleasant and although the donut shop is small, the decor is nice.

INCREDIBLE donuts! Fancy, fresh, and they always hit the spot. One of our favorite donut locations! Don't miss this spot if you have the opportunity to stop.

Our first experience with Parlor Donuts was in Richmond IN. They are on the chocolate trail. Decided to give this location a try. The doughnuts didn't seem as fresh as the ones we had in Richmond. While the service was ok , being a bit more friendly or upbeat would go along way. Looking around the restaurant was a bit grubby in places. Trash was completely full and needed emptying. Walls were dirty and in need of a scrub. Floors need a good moping. Small details make a big difference.

Yummy donut options!
Chelsea Q.

They are one of the few places that offer gluten free donuts. They are cake donuts with semi customizable glazes and toppings. They recently took away several gluten free options which was really disappointing. The breakfast tacos are very appetizing. The service is good but often slow. This is a cute mini cafe style restaurant good for a brief casual catch up.

Iced Mocha

Such underrated coffee and savory bites! The first time I had Parlor was in Bloomington. I never realized how much variety their menu had. Today I tried the vanilla bean latte and it's top 3 for me in terms of flavor/espresso. I usually order pick up and go but they do have seating if you want somewhere chill to have a snack or sweet treat. I will have to try more doughnut flavors in the future. It's a great place for a pick-me-up and staff has been friendly thus far

In a hunt to find the best donuts in Indy, I finally stopped at Parlor Doughnuts. I enjoy a doughy/very yeasty donut. So, I wasn't sure that Parlor Doughnuts would be for me. Overall, the donut is very doughy on the inside, which I enjoyed, but the outside is a little too crispy for my liking.

Kaylin G.

SO good & so sweet. Ordered a custom half dozen to-go, didn't even make it out the door before eating three. So many unique flavors to choose from which is really fun. They do run out of some flavors if they're popular, so it is best to arrive earlier in the day if you are looking to grab some donuts.

Maple, s'mores, Maple Pecan, and Cookies N' Cream
Madeline E.

These donuts are so fabulous. This time I ordered off the too good to go app and got 4 delicious donuts for $6. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors. The service was very fast and welcoming.

My son getting his braces taken off coincided with a Yelp Elite event here, so I did what a good mother does and took my son for sugary sweets to celebrate. My 2 free donuts were possibly some of the best donuts I've ever had. The crisp outsides paired with the fluffy inside texture, really made the French Toast donut heavenly. Paired with a Carmel Latte, I had to save my decadent Chocolate Chocolate donut for later. These donuts are sizely and sweet. I opted for Oatmilk in my latte, and it was perfection. Not too sweet, so it was the perfect compliment to my donut. My son can typically out eat me in sweets, but his S'mores donut was so rich and filling that he also had to save his second donut for later. He said that both the S'mores and Cookies and Creme were very good. I saw someone else get an Acai bowl, and it looked so delicious that I'll be sure to stop in for one of those next time. Really neat little shop. I love the vibe and decor, and the customer service was stellar.

No ability to get a regular decaf coffee. Over priced but good donuts. Long lines on the weekends with too few staff.

What they serve is not a donut. It's actually a decorated croissant. They should advertise selling cronuts, not donuts. Not impressed.

One of my longtime go-to brunch spots in Indy has been Milktooth, and I'm happy to report the…read morerecent transition to "Arleen's" hasn't changed the things I've always loved about the place. Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

Went years ago and gave a solid review, so figure might as well go back…read more Woof, how times have changed. First it took over 10 minutes for our order to be taken while everyone seated after us was ordering drinks and food. Then we finally ordered, an espresso martini with vodka and a glass of cava with a splash of orange juice. Drinks came out... full mimosa and the espresso martini with sake, yet nobody told us they didn't have vodka until we ordered a second round. Preceded to order breakfast... waffle, slab bacon, eggs, toast, and another slab bacon. Food came, and was fine except we got the slab bacon and then some burnt to a crisp thin cut bacon. Just average at best experience, and won't be coming back. Plus add in 20% gratuity and 3% cc charge. Unfortunately we will pass.

The burger was good but very filling.

Went to Cafe Patachou yesterday morning and had one of the best breakfasts of my trip!…read more The avocado toast was warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly seedy with just the right balance of crunchy and soft, and they were generous with the avocado. I especially loved the radish and pickled onions on top.

The lighting over the tables are oval shaped as an egg and the inner parts of the light resemble an egg yolk. Cute play on the theme. Our server was very friendly so that was a good start. I had the southwestern salad with buffalo chicken. It had corn and tortilla strips (which I left off), black beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and bleu cheese dressing. It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly. The brisket patty was a perfect medium and the onions were grilled just right. We opted for mayonnaise instead of the Thousand Island dressing it comes with. The other dressing may have been good but the mayo really paired well. Finally, the club sandwich was again prepared perfectly. Fresh meat, perfectly toasted bread (some places under toast and many over toast) - it was quite tasty. The French fries were fried so that they were crispy (but not overdone) on the outside but soft inside. We were very pleased with The Yolk and would definitely return if we come back to town in the future!

I walked past, looking longingly, past the next sports bar, a torta place, the hole in the wall, and towards the new apartments when my courage finally reared. I returned (luckily downhill) and passed the other bars where people were transfixed on the home opener of the pacers and nuggets. Good for them. My heart was on food and a recommendation from a friend I just met after having moved here. I walked in to the host stand at a bar and asked if I could sit; they said sure, but the bar is over there and pointed to an ante room near the kitchen. A new room, a new adventure, and the smells and music flowing out transfixed me. I found a stool, took a deep breath, and started to peruse and study the cocktail menu and constantly changing main menu. I ordered a beverage, Alex dutifully told me what was available and really just sauntered into my meal. Starting with oysters on seaweed with vinegar mignonette hit the briny taste point I needed against my drink. The roasted carrots with pomegranate and gravy were divine and hot with Cambrian chili slices. I followed that with the pricci pasta dish and the yogurt sauces mixed with the harissa lamb just sang on my taste buds. However; I did look. At the desert menu before ordering my main. Knowing how the pastry chef is acclaimed and is currently having a moment. That dessert, amazing. So fucking amazing. The custard pie was like someone figured out how to deconstruct a milk caramel, put it onto the top of a brown sugar tart that just melts in your mouth like a sugar cookie batter before it sets. This custard tart took longer to get off of my plate than the time it took me to eat the rest of my meal. I tasted each component, savored every last morsel, and shared bits with those on either side of me. Divine is not enough of an adjective with the prowess to express my gratitude. The team at the bar were not only attentive, they were my friends and helped me thoroughly enjoy my first Friday night out in a new city. They are a family and I felt a part of that for my 1.5 hour meal. 5/5 would recommend. DO NOT SKIP THIS PLACE!!!

I didn't know Indianapolis had such amazing restaurants and this one alone is making me want to…read morereturn soon. We came by on a Tuesday around 4ish but apparently they only serve a snack menu between 4-5. We waited until closer to 5 and came back, then were seated immediately. The service was great and I loved the ambiance. There was plenty of natural lighting and it just felt calm. To drink, I ordered the redrum cocktail and it was soo good, almost just tasted like apple cider. They change the menu everyday so you don't really know what there will be until you get there (but the menu online was kinda similar to what they had). To eat, we shared the grilled bread, red leaf salad, casarecce, patatas bravas, and beef tri-tip. This might have been too much for just the two of us lol, and we probably could have done without the potatoes because they were the most meh out of everything. I think I only ate one or two. The grilled bread came with the most delicious butters (I think one was chive and one was honey cinnamon) and some olive oil with garlic, soo good. The red leaf salad was amazing. I love that they clarify the apples are jonathan apples (my favorite variety)--it was definitely one of the most perfect fall salads and I would love to try recreating it myself. The casarecce came with a pesto sauce and it tasted so fresh. The beef tri-tip was good, but nothing spectacular. For dessert, we ordered the pumpkin ice cream and omg it was amazing--might have been one of the best pumpkin ice creams I've ever had. It tasted exactly like pumpkin pie filling. We also got the croissant pudding (like bread pudding but with croissants) and it was also so delicious. Definitely don't skip on desserts if you come here because they are worth it.
