    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Yummy donut options!

    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.

    Maple, s'mores, Maple Pecan, and Cookies N' Cream

    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.

    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.

    The coconut cream mini is one of the best donuts I've had in a long time. The minis even come with your choice of dip - chocolate, vanilla, or maple. Does it need a dip? No. Do I absolutely want a dip every time I eat a donut now? Yes. I ordered for delivery and wasn't sure what to get so I just ordered a variety. The mini donuts are larger than your typical donut hole and honestly are the perfect size. I also got a regular-sized donut and ended up splitting it in half. The donuts are "layered" donuts and lean more towards a croissant than a regular donut, but they are light and fluffy and delicious. The flavor profiles all sounded amazing and I had a hard time choosing. The maple pecan was good, but the coconut cream mini was even better and my favorite of the bunch. It looked like they had a good variety of seasonal items that I look forward to trying as well.

    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.

    One of my favorite places to go with friends! This shop is warm and feels local with Americana decor, but there are multiple locations throughout the country. I've always had helpful interactions with staff who point me in the right direction with my dietary restrictions. There are vegan, gluten free, keto, and general menu options! There is a tip jar with a note that states to please hand tips directly to staff because the public keeps stealing the money from the jar, which made my heart sad for them. Support your local businesses and staff with some tips to help them out!

I was seated quickly at the bar and the bartenders at that time were great and punctual and making sure I got a menu and everything else I needed. I definitely appreciated that they weren't constantly approaching me, but they read my cues with knowing when I was ready to order or needed something. I was really pleased with the service that I received. The menu had a mixture of American comfort food as well as classic Southern dishes. I took several glances at the food other were ordering and they all looked so appealing and appetizing. I decided to order something that I haven't tried anywhere else, so I ordered the Southern Shakshuka, which is their own unique spin-off to the original. The meal comprised of a base of creamy cheesy grits topped with a somewhat rich layer of roasted tomatoes and vegetables and poached eggs. OMG it was amazing and so flavorful! If you are ever in the area definitely stop by this 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.

I waited a bit long before I was greeted with a menu, waited awhile with an empty glass, waited with my food pushed away before it was cleared. No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

    FLAVORFUL RESTAURANT IN A HIP PART OF INDY…read more======================================== My daughter-in-law recommended Bluebeard for dinner on Monday, June 22, 2026. I would have to say this restaurant is my favorite in Indy right now after one meal. Most of the things we shared were amazing and for a complete description please refer to my photo of the menu. We ordered the following: Burrata with Amelia's bread as an appetizer which was delicious. Gem Salad - This was amazing and I could eat it every day of the week. Stacci house made pasta - This was a big hit and I would order this every time. Hanger Steak - My husband, aka the picky eater, loved it. I didn't try it, but everyone seemed to like it. Chicken with a few dumplings - We all loved this. Three desserts to share: a cheesecake with fruit on top, one a bread pudding and a chocolate crisp. I ordered a delicious Monsoon Season cocktail with song cai vietnamese gin, cocchi americano, st. george thai basil eau de vie, elderflower, lemon and basil oil. My son and I also ordered glasses of Port after dinner. The service was great and I loved that they were playing really good rock music like Soundgarden and others. There are lots of antique typewriters above the bar and a cool print of Kurt Vonnegut by the bathrooms. I am looking forward to going again the next time my husband and I are in Indy visiting my son and daughter-in-law unless they move out of state.

    I got caught in the 3 pm lunch cut off again. Got some charcuterie and it 2 good cheese prosciutto…read moreand that kinda gross upscale baloney I forget the Italian name. Not a fan. The bartender also was really acting pained to do anything and even looked mad when I closed out my $40 tab. Indiana is missing the Midwest friendly thing with service almost everywhere

    Met up with two friends for brunch at Love Handle and it absolutely delivered. Great location at…read morethe end of Mass Ave near Bottleworks--and pro tip: parking directly in front on the same side of the street is free. The space is big and fun, with a large dining room, an old-school video arcade game, interesting art, and a big screen playing movies, which adds to the laid-back, quirky vibe. It's counter service with clear menu boards on the wall, making ordering easy. I had the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon and an egg and... my goodness. So incredibly delicious. One friend ordered the same grits but swapped in fried catfish instead of bacon--also a fantastic choice. Our third went with a classic plate with eggs and bacon, and let me tell you, the bacon is thick and plentiful. We ordered a side of fries for the table and there were more than enough to share. Self-serve coffee with all the fixings is a nice touch, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Fun atmosphere, great food, solid portions--definitely will be back.

    Love Handle is in the best neighborhood right on Mass Ave! It's super close to amazing shopping,…read moreand the vibe inside is vintage diner with an artsy twist. The food just needed a little fine-tuning to really shine. The catfish seemed to have a beer-battered coating that felt a little soft and held onto some extra moisture instead of having that classic light crunch. I would love a bit more flavor baked right into the waffle and biscuit dough--though the gravy flavor was definitely a win! Also, the grits lean heavy into jalapeno notes rather than a creamy, cheesy base. It's such a cute venue with great energy, and a few little kitchen adjustments could make it amazing!
