    Bourbon Caramel + Honey Glazed + French Toast (2)
    Jason L.

    Look. I didn't NEED four donuts but nobody really ever needs ONE, right? If calories are out the window, might as well go for broke. I did just that. Delicious and addicting. Sort of like a funnel cake donut in that it has a little more flaky crunch to it (much like a mini fritter) and they're all topped with some sort of ridiculously tasty additive. High marks for the French toast, bourbon caramel and glazed honey. It was probably like 8 days worth of sugar but who cares? Not me, friends. Not me.

    Donut did not disappoint. It had been 5 years since my last one and it was as good as I remembered. Service was friendly.

    Truffle Turtle Cheesecake and Maple Pecan

    After walking past Parlor Donuts in Oceanside approximately one million times, we finally gave in... and WOW. I may have had a legitimate out-of-body experience. It's been a rough week (hello, unexpected job loss), so I was in the mood for something unapologetically indulgent, and this absolutely delivered. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, which honestly made the experience even sweeter. I ordered the truffle cheesecake donut and my husband had the maple pecan... and I genuinely cannot remember the last time I tasted something this ridiculously delicious. Light, decadent, melt-in-your-mouth magic. Learn from our mistake: do not keep walking past this place. Stop immediately. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Just get the donut.

    ​I noticed so many people carrying boxes from Parlor that I decided I just had to try it. I even stopped someone who was bringing a box back to our hotel to ask about them, and they raved that the donuts were incredibly soft--almost like a croissant. ​They were absolutely right! They have a massive selection to choose from, and I ended up trying the French Toast donut. It had that exact light, pillowy, croissant-like texture the other guest mentioned. I also loved that it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet like donuts from other shops can be. It was so light that I enjoyed it in the morning and still had plenty of room for breakfast afterward. ​My only regret is that I didn't have a bigger group with me--I wish I could have ordered a bunch of different flavors to share. I'll definitely be back for more!

    Anywhere I go that has a Parlor Doughnuts, I have to go. They have the largest and most delicious Doughnuts I've eaten. They have a loyalty program so don't forget to sign up. Everyone here is really nice too.

    I'm surprised to realize that I've not reviewed them before. I have been here several times and always enjoyed my donuts. Depending when you go, parking isn't too bad. There's street parking just outside. I've never been when there's a wait either. I'm always greeted by an enthusiastic helpful staff member who can answer all my questions. There are so many flavors to choose from and they change. On this visit after looking at all the choices, we chose the French toast donut which was slated to be the most popular. We asked if they could cut it in half but we were told they are not allowed and that there are knives nearby. We took our donut and we sat outside on their picnic benches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a lovely day to be sitting outside. There were several people out there already eating their donuts and drinking coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a bit challenging to cut through the donut with the plastic knife, as it's pretty thick. The outside was crispy while the inside was pillowy and doughy. It was a nice combination. I didn't really get the flavor of French toast, but either way it was still very flavorful and we enjoyed it. Afterwards we walked down to the pier to walk off some of the carbs we had just eaten. I love showing people this place and I will continue to return for their donuts .

    If I was about to be buried and at my funeral someone showed up after eating a parlor donut and it so happened that some donut dust hit my casket ... I would RISE FROM MY SLUMBER and SUCK those fingers dry to the bone. That's how good these donuts are. Man these donuts hit every time. If you visit Oceanside and don't visit parlor donuts you're doing yourself a disservice! MUST VISIT. B FIH FIH FIHHHHHSTAHHHHH

    Wow, these croissant style doughnuts were calling my name. There were just too many options to choose from. I could not decide. I probably got more than I should have, every single one of them looked so good. Best seller is the French toast and I can see why that one is really good! I also very much enjoyed blueberry Hill. We got some other jelly, filled one, I want to say strawberry or raspberry, which was just OK I would prefer the other 2, the jelly kind of tasted too artificial imo. I believe they offered about three or four filled donuts.

    Beyond Disappointing. Please note this review is specifically for the Vegan & Gluten Free Donuts. I'll gladly update this review if there are updated/changes to these options. For a place that takes pride (clearly visible in their regular donuts), why the hell would you put vegan & gluten free in the same donut without providing regular vegan options too? To top it off, all the donuts are $4.25 EACH for the tiniest bite size donut. It doesn't matter what kind of toppings, frosting, glaze etcetera that you put on it, a gluten free item is tasteless (or I should say tastes the exact same with a worse after taste than any regular dairy made donut). Also for those that are unaware, most gluten free items are dry too. It doesn't say on the menu nor did the very sweet & kind hostess that helped us tell me about them until after I asked her what those little tiny things the Pastry Chef was making in the back. She said those are your donuts & proceeded to tell me they were baked not fried & that they were both vegan & gluten free. I was ordering these donuts thinking that they had the option of EITHER vegan OR gluten free options. Very disappointing considering I researched this space & was told by local friends that it's a must. The regular donuts look absolutely gorgeous & taste (I had to stay neutral about the overall venue & took a bite of my Girlfriends donut) pretty damn good. Do better on the Vegan & Gluten Free donuts. Keep up the high integrity & high quality product that you showcase in the glass cases up front. I'll look forward to coming back in the future. Hopefully there will be some better options (I'm back in town in November). Thank you Team Parlor Doughnuts for the overall hospitality.

    The quality and taste is certainly great! Worth the price. It's a treat to have when visiting the area.

    We stopped into Parlor Doughnuts in Oceanside this morning and really enjoyed it. We got there right when they opened and had no trouble ordering, and the case was already full of fresh options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself has a clean, old-school look to it, and it's a good kind of busy inside with people coming in for coffee and boxes to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We picked out a mix of flavors -- s'mores, churro, raspberry pistachio, strawberry shortcake, and bourbon pecan. All of them were light and layered, almost like a croissant doughnut, and the texture stood out right away. The churro was coated nicely with cinnamon sugar, the raspberry pistachio had a bright flavor and a good crunch from the nuts, and the s'mores one had that classic chocolate and marshmallow combo. The strawberry shortcake was one of our favorites with the whipped topping and real berry flavor, and the bourbon pecan was rich without being too sweet.

    CHILL LITTLE SHOP w/ mid-tier donut options. I stopped by per my Mom's recommendation as we heard good things about Parlor. It's a pretty big donut organization now across the US, so we decided to try it. I wasn't a major fan of the bread ratio inside my "Sandy Beach" donut. My mom and some other reviews said they're going for a cronut style of pastry. However, this wasn't flaky nor tasted like a cronut. It just felt like an excessive amount of bread without flavor, aside from the top and outer bread layer. The flavor wasn't bad on the outside (it was actually pretty good), however the inside was very underwhelming. Its a shame as the outside of the "donut" tasted like a mix of apple pie and cinnamon roll. I'll give the shop credit for their tasty coffee, I loved my layered cold brew! Service was also hit or miss, a young couple in front of me was treated poorly. I didn't like that. I was treated pretty well, but I hate to see other people my age get mistreated. Only one younger guy (an employee) who was working double time had a nice attitude. My Dad and I were disappointed as the autumn specialty items were not available. This was not a inventory issue, they just didn't have anything ready. I wasn't a fan of the decor, it just was too over the top in some places. I did enjoy the lighting and retro feel, but it felt like this location was trying too hard with the excessive decorations in the background. The bathroom was gross and unkempt. Overall, there's lots of improvements needed at this location, however I believe in second chances so I want to try their other items, maybe I'll be surprised?

    Marie S.

    Great doughnut options! The flavors were delicious, and I really enjoyed the crispiness of the doughnuts -- you can tell they're freshly made. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That said, the cleanliness of the location could use some improvement. The glass display was a bit dirty, and there were quite a few bees flying around the doughnuts, which was a little off-putting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Parking is limited, and while there's outdoor seating available, it could also use a good wipe-down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On the positive side, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience better overall.

    Not your grandad's doughnut shop. Interesting variety of highly crafted doughnuts, but you also pay the price. $4+/doughnut.

    Can you order parlor donuts online and could they be mailed to Ohio?

    Hi Joe, Because we cannot guarantee the same quality and experience as you’d receive in-store, we currently do not ship our donuts.

    Do you know if they accept ApplePay? They're not picking up their phone. I forgot my wallet at home (in Rancho Bernardo) and I'm in the area? 😭

    Yes, I've only used Apple Pay there

    What is the carb and protein content on the keto doughnuts?

    Who cares?!!! It's a amazing treat! You probably shouldn't even try them. They are only for foodies!

    What is the price on a dozen donuts?

    $24 plus tax

    Hi i wana buy im on Fontana CA. You send box?

    I'm almost positive they don't ship. But I'm sure they will be able to answer your questions if you call 😊

When I'm craving a delicious breakfast made with high-quality, organic, whole-food ingredients, I can order online, swing by, and pick it up without dealing with the rush. It's the perfect option for busy mornings. That said, dining in is worth it too. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and just a great place to slow down and enjoy your meal. They also have a charming little gift shop with flowers and thoughtfully curated items that make the space feel even more special. With both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a dog-friendly patio, it's an easy place to meet friends or enjoy a quiet morning. Parking can be a little hit or miss, but in my experience, it usually hits. Whether you're grabbing breakfast to go or staying to soak up the vibes, Communal Coffee is always a solid choice. Fresh ingredients, beautiful space, and consistently great food make it an easy five stars.

It's a great spot to meet up with friends or bring my mom when she arrives at the Oside train station from Grover Beach. It's a wonderful place to grab a flavored latte, seasonal drink, a glass of wine and a lunch bite, or all of the above! I also look forward to wandering through their gift area every time, where they stock unique jewelry, candles, fragrance rollerballs and 'clean' nail polish, plants and pots, kids' merchandise, t-shirts, and other cute stuff. I always buy something extra (and special) when I come. Their coffee bar is open, as is the general space, and there is plenty of seating outside in front and in back. You can watch the baristas make your drink and peep the beautiful Italian espresso machine and lovely bouquet of dried flowers by the bar while doing so. They bring their food out to you and when your espresso drink is ready they set it on the bar for you to pick up. Definitely a place to hang vs. grabbing a quick drink and rushing off about your day. I always want to stay and catch up with friends or bring my laptop to do some work, and they never make me feel rushed. Truly one of my favorite coffee shops in North County and in SD in general. (There is another high quality coffee shop in Oceanside that has incredible coffee and pastries--I won't mention the name--but I sometimes sense an attitude from the staff there, and that is a bit of a turnoff.) Go to Communal...you will not regret it!

This place has such a loyal following that people will happily walk a few blocks just to get their Revo fix. One of my favorite things is their seasonal menu. I've learned to fully embrace each special while it's here because once it's gone, it's gone. Right now, I'm completely obsessed with the Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Matcha. I'm pretty sure the baristas recognize me as "the Sticky Rice Matcha lady" at this point! I'm soaking up every sip while it's in season, and although I'll be sad when it's gone, I know they'll surprise me with something amazing next season. Their food is just as impressive. The toast is delicious, they use Prager Brothers bread, organic avocado, and fresh tomatoes, and you can really taste the difference that quality ingredients make. It's refreshing to find a café that clearly cares about food integrity. Another huge bonus for me is that they offer almond milk. So many coffee shops default to oat milk, but I appreciate having another option that fits my preferences. The only downside is the parking. My strategy is simple: go early if you can. Once it gets busy, finding a spot can be an adventure. But even with that minor inconvenience, Revolution Roasters is absolutely worth the trip. Incredible coffee, thoughtful seasonal drinks, quality ingredients, and a team that clearly cares about what they serve. Easy five stars.
