We drove past Parlor Donuts while in suburban Chicago and since it was near my hotel, we decided to forgo breakfast and have donuts instead. Parlor Donuts is probably the nicest donut shop I've ever been in. Nicely furnished , products displayed well and just a bright and cheery atmosphere. Besides donuts, they serve breakfast sandwiches and various coffee type drinks. The choices are numerous and if I hadn't been on the website the night before, it would have taken far longer for me to make a decision. I tried the Coconut cream filled and my wife, the Lemon Bar. They were delicious! I tried the Lemon Bar as well. A huge difference with these donuts are they are described as "Sweet Layered Donuts" and remind me of a "Kronut" which is basically a croissant dough made into a donut type creation. Flavors are abundant and creative like French Toast, Bourbon Caramel, Raspberry Pistachio and Peanut Butter Cup. Despite the nice environment and delicious donuts, I found them to be quite expensive so as a daily donut and bagel aficionado, Parlor would not be a regular stop. Also, there are no cake or more traditional donuts-only the spectacular ones! They are usually eaten with a knife and fork. The plastic utensils provided are not robust enough to use on these. I was surprised how large this donut chain is. There are several in my home state of Michigan and I believe they are currently in sixteen states with nearly a hundred locations nationally. Very good, creative treats in a very nice environment is a recipe for success. read more

To the Keepers of Parlor Doughnuts, The cold winds blow fierce from the North, yet none so cutting as the gaze I endured upon crossing your threshold this past fortnight. Your sentinel, a dark-eyed warden of flour and glaze, fixed upon me a stare that would freeze dragon's breath. Her silence spoke volumes. Her words, when finally dragged forth like a blade from its scabbard, dripped with all the warmth of a White Walker's embrace. Four doughnuts I commanded. Four simple confections to sustain me on my journey. The Chocolate Cherry and Pumpkin Chai arrived swiftly enough, but the Keto offerings? Fifteen minutes I waited, only to receive pale, undercooked abominations bereft of their promised Vanilla and Chocolate icings. An insult? Nay. An act of war. The iced coffee, I grant you, proved worthy of song. Yet even nectar tastes bitter when served with contempt. Then came the final betrayal. I requested napkins to cleanse the sticky dishonor from my doughnut box. Your first guardian gestured to an empty dispenser as if mocking a starving man with an empty larder. The second emerged from her keep to decree, and I quote this dark edict: "You can find some in the bathroom." By the Old Gods and the New, I stood paralyzed. As I retreated to my carriage, I turned heel. I will demand refund and satisfaction! But alas, as I opened the glass door to the establisment, I witnessed Lady Number One filling the napkin dispenser with the supplies she swore did not exist. Outraged and confused, I stood watching, wondering what I had done wrong to deserve this subhuman treatment. House Dickon remembers. Winter has come for our patronage. Ron of House Dickon read more

I'm not a cake donut fan, so I was a bit hesitant when I first came in and when I tell you, I'm forever changed.... I mean it. The flaky pillowy donuts from Parlor live rent free, I cannot tell you how many times I've been back for both sweet and savory donuts that I was shocked I have yet to write a review. The strawberry donut and the fig and pig donuts are my repeats always, but I love to try the seasonal ones as well. They have plenty of parking outside the shop, but it does get busy when they get busy during peak times. The donuts are made fresh daily and you can taste the quality. You also can't go wrong with any of their fun drinks! Also if you come back often be sure to download the app for fun rewards and perks. I know I've been racking up my points every time I come by read more

It WAS my favorite place. I ran by today and all of the counters were cleaned up. I asked for 4 sandy beach and she said I have 3 and I'll have to make you 1 more. K. She pulled the sandy beach from a variety a nuts. I said there is a nut allergy. Her response was there are no nuts. I asked about the one touching the sandy beach and she said those aren't nuts. I said ok. What are they. Donuts with nuts sprinkled on. I said never mind and let. I was so disappointed. It was my favorite place read more

Came here around 8:45am on a Saturday morning and the place already had a healthy patronage. These donuts are exquisite looking and invite you to try them all. I ordered a dozen (good value because saves you $1 per donut, coming out to $39/dozen). The texture of the donut is fluffy and flaky, similar to a cronut. Fruit flavor donuts are always a highlight for me, so I loved the strawberry shortcake and lemon. I didn't get a chance to try the raspberry jelly or raspberry pistachio, but my family loved them. I also really liked the chocolate peanut butter donut. One donut that I advise against is the Chicago special with brownie batter filling, this was extremely messy. However, it might've been better if the donut was refrigerated and the filling less runny. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying the savory donuts, specifically the deep dish pizza and pig and fig. read more

National Doughnut Day! Parlor Doughnuts is offering a free French Toast doughnut with any purchase. They offer some really unique flavors as well as some classics. They also have seasonal and local favorites. This visit, we got the Chicago Style Doughnut as well. Everything tasted extremely fresh and was the perfect sweet treat. Highly recommend coming out to try at either of their Rolling Meadows or Bolingbrook locations! read more

Tried multiple locations now and both have been delicious! I got a big variety of donuts and everything tasted fresh. The blueberry donut was especially so good -- super airy, soft, and flavorful. Inside was clean and it wasn't too busy when we went. Only thing is they definitely start running low on donuts later in the afternoon, so I'd recommend going in the morning for the best selection. Overall really good donuts and I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Had the pleasure of visiting here over the weekend and so glad we did! WOW what a selection of unique donuts! I tried the Turtle donut and the Maple Bacon with my hot vanilla latte. They were so huge I needed to eat them in parts but oh so good! At first I thought they were going to be cake-like donuts but not really. They were big but light and not heavy. Thank goodness! My husband had the cinnamon sugar, raspberry and banana creme pie mini donuts and he LOVED them! Definitely stop here and try them. There is a wide variety of donut choices here! read more

These savory donuts and unique and so delicious! My goodness what a great idea! The service was great the whole team was nice! Ryan, Addie and Joey so a great job running this location. They certainly made sure everything was clean and stocked. Their professionalism was remarkable and welcoming. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy your sweet and/or savory donut and a drink. I did learn the cater as well. So many great options to choose from. My favorite savory is the Margherita and honestly, I haven't found my favorite sweet donut yet. Guess I'll have to go back for another visit, soon! read more

In Chicago, the donut craze sort of hit like a tornado. It was massive, but seemingly over as fast as it landed. The love of donuts clearly lives on as strong as ever in the suburbs. I might have to make a list just for the top donut spots. This place would be up there. The hype around this place was no joke. My friends were checking in here and my family recommended it directly after their visit. Its hard to justify going this far from my area for donuts but I finally had a day off and a good excuse, so I made the trip. Worth it. Walking in before noon on a Saturday, seems like I got lucky. It was calm when I ordered but getting crazy by the time I left a few minutes later. The space is nice with big windows that let the sun in. You walk up to the counter and order, they have everything displayed right there in the case next to you so you can agonize over your choices. I got four donuts. The Chicago Style (a featured donut), the bourbon caramel, the lemon bar, and the peanutbutter cup. They have perfectly sized 4 pack boxes too. Cute. So who else remembers the cronut craze? One place did it, then everyone was doing it, then it just disappeared. These donuts are similar, structurally. Flakey tender layers inside, a nice crispy outside, these are good donuts. They hold up to the toppings and fillings your getting as well. They look massive but they're so airy you can keep eating them! I started with the bourbon caramel. Really good flavor on this one. The bourbon flavor is actually noticeable, which I loved, but if you just want caramel it might be a bit much for you. Next up was my new favorite donut, the lemon bar. The lemon curd on top with the icing and whipped cream was just perfect. I'd get this every time. The Chicago Style is decadent. This was the only filled donut I got and the brownie batter filling is rich and delicious! Chocolate sauce topping with Twix crumble too... just a home run. I saved the peanutbutter cup for thr next day, and the donut holds up. Over twenty four hours later and it's still soft and perfect, not stale or hard at all. The toppings are just Chocolate and peanutbutter, but those are always a good combination. It was quite tasty. Price point is high for donuts, but not really for luxury donuts like these, and by today's standards its almost reasonable. These are a treat, not your everyday donuts, and even though I'm almost an hour away I'll definitely be back! read more

I was recently staying in the Chicago suburbs and saw this unique donut shop nearby. We were craving an afternoon treat so ended up ordering delivery from Parlor Doughnuts to try their unique layered donuts. I was surprised to see that they have sweet and savory donuts and had to try the savory. We ended up ordering a seasonal blueberry cheesecake and a margherita donut. First starting off with the margherita donut, the donut base was great with a crispy outer layer topped with a tangy tomato sauce, cheese, and basil. It did come a bit cold and we didn't wait to heat it up but I'd imagine it would be better warm. The soft yet crunchy donut makes for a great base for the pizza toppings and we really enjoyed this! The blueberry cheesecake was good as well with the donut sprinkled with sugar but I was a bit disappointed that the donut wasn't filled and the only blueberry cheesecake flavor was in the topping. I liked that it wasn't too sweet but it could have been better filled with cream. Overall the texture of the donut is nice and fun to try. It reminds me of a cronut without the croissant layers inside but I do love a crispy outside on my donuts and this was a unique type of donut to try! read more

I stopped by during my late lunch break to grab some donuts & drinks. Parking: free parking in the lot but not a fan of getting into the parking lot. Can't get in through the area where there's other stores (restaurants & stores).. Customer service: the lady that helped me was soo kind, helpful & patient. I appreciated that she went out of her way to get new tongs for the donuts without being asked when I mentioned that my daughter had pistachio allergies. Atmosphere: nice, clean & modern vibe. Great for catching up with a friend(s), studying or working. They have an enclosed room so that would be nice for work/study Coconut milk refresher: sweet & good with pieces of strawberries. I like the option to be able to get a refresher with coconut milk. Latte: coffee with your choice or milk (opted for oatmeal and it was good. Donuts: they have sweet & savory options and the donuts are pretty big...but they have cute small donuts too which is perfect for little ones or if u just want something small Breakfast sandwich: I thoroughly enjoyed the sausage biscuit with egg sandwich. The biscuit was soft and the pattie tasted different too. The fig jam was a great addition and it complimented the sandwich well. My daughter, who is a picky eater, also enjoyed the sandwich. I'll be back when I'm in the area read more

First time trying Parlor Doughnuts in Rolling Meadows and I'm already planning my next visit. I ordered the honey glazed and the Hawaiian BBQ chicken donut--one sweet, one savory--and both were seriously good. The donuts are HUGE and super filling. They're not your typical donuts either... more like a croissant-donut hybrid, flaky and soft with a nice texture. Honestly, you could easily share one. Also grabbed an iced matcha latte, which paired perfectly. I went on a Friday morning right before lunch. It was pretty busy, but the staff was still really friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. They also have some cute merch for sale! Good to know: savory donuts are only available after 11AM. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Went to Parlor Doughnuts today due to their Vegan/Gluten Friendly Donuts. My son is allergic to gluten, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, and soy. We read their ingredients online and it was all free from those ingredients. We called and asked about their preparation process and area and they prepare and cook their Vegan/Gluten Friendly doughnuts separately from the regular donuts. When we ordered, they did mention that there still is gluten in the kitchen but we were OK with trying it. We ordered the following: Sandy Beach, Double Chocolate, Strawberry with on chocolate, and French Toast. My son tried the Double Chocolate and wanted to devour the whole thing. The doughnut is cake style versus the raised style. He said it wasn't dense and really liked it. He can't wait to try the others. Overall, the doughnut was a "repeat" for him and I'm going to try it when we go again. I really love the fact that he could have a doughnut from a doughnut shop. I'm looking forward to the weekend so he can have it fresh and we can chill in a very cool place to hang out. read more

I was so excited to come here! The parking lot though....I was a bit confused. I thought I was going to be able to cut through a lot. The two possible entrances to the lot were kinda small and you had to be heading from a certain direction. The space was pretty spacious and spread out! There was also a "private" room as well which was nice. Walked in late afternoon and was greeted by the staff. It was kinda quiet, but it was nice. We were told by staff that if we didn't see certain donuts on the display, that they were able to make it fresh for us! LOVED THAT!! Savory items were also on the menu along with some other items other than donuts. My friend and I ordered the French toast donut and the strawberry shortcake donut. I also ordered a peppermint white mocha.....which was just okay. I couldn't really taste the peppermint. My friend and I loved both donuts! It was nice and airy with the perfect amount of sweetness to it! I wanted to order some to take home but I knew it would be better fresh and I would have to finish it within the next day or two. That means, I'll be back again. read more

Looking for a sweet way to start your morning? Head on into Parlor Doughnuts! The decor sets the mood for the experience with cute vibes, fun merch and a delectable looking pastry case highlighting the full breadth of doughnuts they offer. Staff is beyond friendly and welcoming! All the doughnuts are airy and fluffy inside with a crispy exterior. We tried the French toast and maple bacon doughnuts. French toast is the "most popular" and we could easily see why. Well balanced with a delicious glaze on top of the cinnamon sugar. Truly resembled French toast! Maple bacon frosting was delicious. Wish the bacon contributed more to overall flavor but the texture difference from the crunchy bacon was nice. read more

This place opened not too long ago and if you're not looking for it, you may miss it! They're in between two busy streets so again, look out for it while passing by. The inside is decorated charmingly. It gives southern charm vibes with the decorating. There are couches, a dining room area with tables and chairs, and then some more seating in the front. Also lots of natural light. I got an iced latte which was good. I tried the French toast donut which was also good, while very very sweet. Since these are specialty donuts, you can expect them to be on the sweeter side. I love the croissant dough on this though! read more

If you have a lot of allergies like me (all food must be dairy free, soy free, etc) this is the place to get some good donuts. They're extremely customizable, with most glazes allowing you to choose between a vanilla or chocolate one. I've never seen that before! Love it! The service was very kind. The place had an old diner style feel and was extremely clean. The donuts themselves were very decadent, delicious, and gooey when warm. Would come back! read more

Great donuts and coffee. The caramel macchiato was not bitter at all and definitely not too sweet. Absolutely perfect. I love the Peanut Butter Cup Donut. So glad we came here!

This ain't your run of the mill donut shop. Very chill setting, kind of bougie vibe. Had the blended caramel macchiato, it's alright, nothing special. But the star of the show are the donuts. All the sweet donuts were good but just too sweet for my taste. But have you heard of savory donuts? Yeah me neither but damn why didn't I know about this sooner?! They had a nice variety like chicken bacon ranch, pepperoni, margherita, pig & fig, buffalo chicken and bbq chicken. We had the bbq chicken and let me tell you, that was the BEST donut sweet or savory that I've ever had. I'm not even a bbq chicken pizza guy, but this just works on a donut. Taste almost like a dense croissant. Highly recommended. read more

We came from out of state and stumbled on this place and it's seriously was a 10/10. Plenty of parking, amazing customer service, ambience and inside seating was great, and we have ever started talking about the food. :0 The savory donuts were out of this world we got the BBQ chicken one and it was just sooooo fresh you could tell they just made it and writing this review is making me want to go back rn and get another one lol. We also grabbed 2 sweet donuts and a coffee which were also so delicious the whole thing just hit the spot. Safe to say this might be my new favorite donut place. read more

It's kind of crazy how a spot which lacked signage and is somewhat difficult to turn into from the road can be super busy just from word of mouth. But anyone who's ever had the pleasure of dining here will universally agree that the challenge is well worth it for their delicious layered donuts. The quality of their small batch donuts here really shine as you can definitely taste the freshness and can appreciate the use of ingredients like fresh berries - which you don't find normally at other donut spots even at a similar price point. The decoration on these donuts are spot on, and the flavors are very balanced - bold but not too sweet. The textures are amazing as well, particularly for those who like the firm and chewy texture of a croissant. The restaurant itself is also a very pleasant spot to enjoy the food. Spacious and well lit with tons of fun art, purchasable gifts, amazing aromas, and much classier than normal tables and chairs. This immediately vaults this spot into my list of locations to get a coffee and treat while chatting with friends. Overall, this belongs on every donut lover's destination list. For those who can appreciate unique flavors combined with high quality ingredients, bold flavors, and great textures -- this is worth a special trip to experience this delicious product. read more

As those of you who read my reviews know, I can't have dairy or gluten. This makes getting food difficult to say the least. The most problematic are cakes and other deserts. Parlor Donuts offers dairy-free, gluten-free donuts (in addition to ones with gluten and dairy). They are actually very good - surprisingly good. When you go there, they make these to order and they take great care in making them look as good as they taste. I'm afraid I can't compare Parlor Donuts to other donut shops since I can't eat anything at the other stores. But the donuts here are tasty, decorated nicely, and are very fresh. I have not been in the location but have had donuts delivered from there. (My wife goes to pick them up.) From the other reviews, it seems like the ambiance is very nice there. I will go there soon. This is a new favorite read more

I usually take pics before I eat but I did not do that here. The donuts are so soft and fluffy. I loved the savory ones which I was not dxpecting.

This bakery offers GF/vegan donuts. They aren't certified GF but do indicate they have separate prep areas. The GF donuts are kept in the back and not in the shared display case.

Was very excited to give this new shop a try, especially when I saw how big their gluten-free menu was, but it did not live up to the hype. The gluten-free donuts were so puny and dry, it wasn't worth the trip. Disappointing for sure and I would not recommend if you're gluten free or vegan. There are way better options elsewhere. They honestly tasted like Katz frozen donuts, but for $5 each. As for the shop itself I will say, the staff was super nice and helpful. They also have ample parking and a very aesthetically, pleasing and large indoor seating area. read more

Stopped by here after we picked up some lunch to go. I had to run in and out so I felt a little rushed, not by the staff or anything but myself haha they had a lot of good varieties. I got 4 of them.
