This location really struggles to make iced matcha. It's literally white every time. Only come here for their food

Lots of amazing options--it was sort of overwhelming in a good way! after asking many questions, I decided to get the coconut cream filled doughnut! I think it could've been bagged better (there was topping all over the bag and my hands when I opened the bag) and there could've been more coconut cream inside. But the flavor of the filling and the donut are IMPECCABLE. Hoping to go back and have some other flavors. read more

Super flavorful, airy, and fresh donuts! There are so many different flavors it can be kind of overwhelming, but, whatever you choose, I'm positive that it'll be good. Their donuts remind me of cronuts (best combo ever) - it has a croissant-like fluff/flakey texture and taste in the shape of a donut. They also offer coffee, tea, juices, and other breakfast entrees. I went at about 3:30PM and they still had a lot left! Some of their donuts are on the sweeter side and the size of them are HUGE. My favorite one so far is their blueberry one. Inside decor is super cute. Great place to stay to chat with a friend or even to study! Definitely check this place out :) read more

The donuts are amazing. Cool vibe nice place and did I mention the donuts are freakin amazing.

I love this place. The ambiance is wonderful and very clean. I love donuts so much but theirs are extra sweet. Maybe I will try the plain one next time. But overall, it's still good but not something that I'll drive out of the way just to get some. read more

The Parlor is a cute new place on East Main for donuts. I purchased a Maple Pecan, the last one, and a Rasberry Pistachio. I ate the Maple Pecan donut and saved the other for breakfast tomorrow. So good, light and fluffy. I easily could have eaten more than one, but common sense prevailed. NOTE: Metered street parking. 17 read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Omg. Delicious donuts. Texture of a croissant but amazing flavors. So rich and fresh. - Donuts Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

OMG!! This place is awesome. I refuse to go to places when they first open because of the lines. Today I went early and there was very little wait. The only down side to the place is the parking if the store is crowded. I had no issues today. Someone said the uglier the donuts, the better they taste. In this case, that is correct. This place gave me something I never knew I wanted. They have a good variety without being overwhelming. I tried the French toast and strawberry shortcake varieties. Of course the donuts are rich so I couldn't eat an entire one, they were great. I'm so happy parlor doughnuts came to Lexington. I can't go here a lot due to the fat content, but when I do I will definitely have a great day. read more

I have heard so much about this place and decided to stop by on a Sunday morning. Parking is relatively easy and I was able to park for free. The lines were fast moving. The menu is displayed large next to the cases of pastries. Let your heart choose for you! Or do what I do and get an assorted dozen. The staff were very nice and gave me suggestions. The flavors are so fun and the doughnuts are fluffy and large. The raspberry pistachio and cookies and cream are very good. The turtle cheese cake is decent as well. The price for a dozen is $24, which is a little above average but you get little works of pastry art. read more

Parlor Doughnuts is such a cute cafe! The staff is friendly and the location is walkable. They have lots of different options of pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and beverages. We're pretty "plain Jane" when it comes to doughnuts and if you're like us, BEWARE... you won't find a plain, glazed donut here. We understand that we are probably the exception though, LOL. Unfortunately we did not enjoy our treats. We're pretty "plain Jane" when it comes to doughnuts and if you're like us, BEWARE... you won't find a plain, glazed donut here. We understand that we are probably the exception though, LOL. We ordered and Cinnamon Sugar Cronut, a Honey Glazed Donut, and a Powdered Donut. Each of them seemed "wet"; they weren't fluffy or light at all. The glaze was quite runny as well, so we really couldn't enjoy them. Perhaps if we'd gone earlier in the day when they were fresh, we would've had a different experience. On the contrary... our pup LOVED his doggie donut! We may give it another try and choose different items. read more

First time here. We had donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Both were really good. I thought these would be a heavier cake donuts when you see them, but was very surprised when I bit into one. Definitely not a cake donut. They are a layered and not heavy. We definitely enjoyed them! read more

Staff is extremely friendly, coffee is great and the donuts are even better. Highly recommend if youre looking to kick start your morning with a nice coffee and a sweet. As a bonus they have good breakfast foods but not the star of the show read more

Long time listener, first time caller. Have intended to check this place out forever and finally made it - absolutely worth the wait! Blueberry Hill was my sugar death of choice. Super yummy and fresh. Love the glaze but could definitely see just ordering a plain for the texture. Breakfast sandwich also excellent - fresh, flaky, rich. Love that they have gluten free and vegan options as well as a decent list of tea options. As a person who doesn't drink coffee - thank you! Will try a milkshake on a subsequent visit when my blood isn't already fully sugar saturated. read more

We have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got a chance this morning. The selection of doughnuts is great and they have layered doughnuts, more like a croissant than the traditional yeast or cake doughnut. They are huge and super rich, so a single doughnut is about all I can eat in one sitting. They even helped us out by making one in the back to help us avoid some allergens! read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Coconut cream, maple bacon, sandy beach, bourbon caramel - Donuts Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Probably best donut I've ever had! It isn't traditional but I love the uniqueness. Flaking layers, oozy maple flavor in the inside and cinnamon sugar coating! Delish! I had the French toast flavor and it was SO good! Looking forward to coming back and trying new flavors. read more

We recently moved here from Atl. I was craving a croissant donut similar to the well known five daughter bakery we frequented back home & I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this gem. While Parlor's are their own unique dough, they for sure cured the craving! I was pleased to find their keto donuts yummy as well! My go to's for sureeee have been the chorizo breakfast tacos though!! I have gotten them at least once a week since moving here in May... seriously so underrated and SO GOOD!! Put some Cholula on them & OMG, the perfect quick breakfast or lunch! They also sponsored a local social event I'm apart of and donated their mini cinnamon donuts & were a HUGE hit to all the guests! THANK YOU!! Ambience, customer service, and food are 10/10. I'm a huge foodie & had high expectations coming from a big city & Parlor is a spot you want to come to regularly, whether you're here for a quick visit or are a local. read more

Parlor Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I am in town visiting my family for the week and tried this place for the first time. This is one of a kind donut I've never tried before which is a layered cro-nut which comes in many flavors. Some of the donuts we ordered were not on display so they bad to make them on the spot. However, the service was quick and the donuts were really fresh. I would describe the donut as having the same base but different flavored frosting on top based on the flavor you are ordering. read more

We are once again visiting in Lexington and had to make what is now a mandatory stop at Parlor Doughnuts for Keto donuts. So far, they are doing only a few Keto cake donuts (we keep hoping for fried yeast, but know the issues and complexity of baking low carb:(. Today's were Maple (a favorite - wish they'd add bacon:), Chocolate (a tender vanilla cake drizzled in chocolate) and Pumpkin spice with cream cheese frosting (a seasonal donut that wowed us). We will be here a few more days (and will visit Parlor a couple more times) and we brought containers to take some donuts home to freeze this time:) Will try to update with pictures if we can restrain ourselves on the next purchase:) read more

Delicious! Even arriving at the end of the day right before closing, donuts were still fresh and warm! Donuts are large and super fluffy! Worth every calorie. read more

This was our second time trying Parlor. The first experience was lack luster, but we were pleasantly surprised by this trip. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and the service was quick. The coconut crème donut was a 10/10! It was flaky, but not overly sweet. The spinach pesto sandwich was well balanced, but I would pass on the avocado toast next time. We will definitely be going back for the donuts! read more

I've been waiting to try Parlor for months and it didn't disappoint during a visit to Lexington. The aesthetics of the store are nice and light, and the donut lineup is among the most tempting I've seen. Each option looks better than than the next. We decided on Blueberry Hill, caramel bourbon, French toast and carnival. Each was amazing and delicious but French toast was our favorite. Their coffee is good as well. I got the cinnamon and honey cold brew and the size is a good value for the cost. The donuts may seem pricey but for the size and the quality, it's worth it for sure! read more

So the time to go is not 3pm on a Tuesday. They were out of Raspberry Pistachio and Coconut Creme filled so I tried a Lemonade. I'm not sure if it was because it was made that morning but I thought it was too dense and chewy to be either a donut or a croissant. I really had to fight to rip a bite off that monster sized cronut. The frosting was the right amount of lemony and I feel like the serving amount was equal to the price. I think I prefer the light fluffiness of a Krispy Kreme or the crispy flakiness of a Magee's croissant. I also didn't see any gluten free options that are advertised on their website. These might be better if you can get there right when they open in the morning. read more
