Parlor is my favorite local doughnut shop, with multiple locations in the Jax metro. They offer doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, coffees and their recently launched savory doughnuts. They also offer doggy doughnuts for your fur friends. Their doughnuts are excellent, but taste is more like fried dough from the carnival. I love them but some people may prefer more cake-like doughnuts (dunkin style). The new savory doughnuts are also pretty tasty - I tried the Hawaiian BBQ chicken recently. I don't love ordering coffee drinks at Parlor. Often if you get something with Espresso, it get's stuck in a long queue because they only have one barista and espresso machine. Their drinks are also just average - nothing special. Most of the staff at Parlor are young and still learning, but friendly enough. If you dine in at the Fruit Cove location, be aware that seating can be limited inside. They do have additional seats outside when weather is nice. read more

I somehow missed reviewing this place so let's set that right! I grew up with Ma and Pop donut shops being the norm, so really don't love the big chain places that don't even bake them locally anymore. We've been going to Parlor occasionally since they opened and they have a good product. It's not traditional like the maple bars or apple fritters I grew up eating, but they are fresh, and when cooked the right way are really pleasing - kind of light (relatively speaking, I mean, it IS a donut). Minus one star because sometimes they aren't cooked as well and can be a bit doughy in the middle. Those days I eat the edges which are still good. The minis are a great way to avoid this, also - and I especially like the coconut ones. Boston cream, maple, cinnamon churro, all the flavors are great and I love the less common ones too - haven't tried many but lavender honey is so good. Great coffee and service, too - check this place out! read more

First time trying Parlor Doughnuts and let me just say they did not disappoint. Not your original looking donut but they taste amazing. They are more of a croissant style donut but Beautifully put together. They have amazing flavored donuts. Quite a plethora of variety. The service was pretty good and very helpful from the person taking our order. They have an inside and outside seating arrangement which is always good. A little outside of a donut prices but they're an out the box doughnut so I'm all for it. Inside my box I have a Peanut Butter Cup, Maple Bacon, Turtle Cheese cake, French Toast, Boston Crème, and can't remember the last one. But they are all very delicious. read more

We stopped in for a couple of donuts to go. We were immediately greeted by staff and were asked if we had any questions. I wanted a strawberry shortcake and a caramel bourbon. I'd been to Parlor in Panama City Beach and loved it. The donuts were delicious here. The parking lot was very crowded and has an awkward curve turning in. The interior was very clean and has tables if you want to eat in. Definitely will return when I'm in the area. read more

If you're in the Fruit Cove area and have a craving for doughnuts, you have to stop by this local gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest, most inviting service. The entire staff is not only incredibly kind but also radiates positivity, which just adds to the overall experience! The doughnuts are super \ (*‿*) /ﾟWOW-zzah! These are hands down some of the best we've had in a while. The layers are so buttery, flaky and soft, it's like a croissant and a donut had a baby together. Ha!Ha! It's been about a year plus since our last visit that we forgot how substantial these are! My family of 6 visiting from Charleston (including the grown 23 yr-old kids) insisted we #sharethesweetness. L(*‿*)L. Each bite is a perfect balance of flavor and texture, with fresh, unique toppings that make each doughnut feel like a work of art. You can tell that every pastry is crafted with big L(･‿･)VE and care. *:｡ﾟ We can't recommend this place enough. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this doughnut shop is a must-visit! *:｡ﾟ read more

One word : delicious. Have you ever had a "layered" donut ? Thats what these are considered. I love jelly donuts. And their jelly donuts have the most amount of jelly I have ever bit my teeth into. They have coconut cream and Bavarian cream as well. I was told those are delicious. Their other donuts are all good. But if you are a jelly donut fan - this place is the tops ! read more

This was a donut shop that was appealing to all your senses. The ambiance was welcoming. The staff were friendly. The donuts were delicious. This was my first time here.

Parlor Donuts definitely has some tasty options, but our first visit had a hiccup. We ordered two bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, and when we got home, both were missing the bacon. The flavor was still really good--the plain donut they use as the "bread" is amazing--but definitely a little disappointing to have the order wrong. We also each tried a donut, and while they're definitely on the sweeter side, they were still super tasty. I'll give them another shot because the quality is there, but hoping for better order accuracy next time! read more

We ordered the French Toast donut, which is labeled as the most popular, and the Coconut Cream Filled donut. They were really delicious and the dough had a special texture. They were fluffy and layered like a croissant but they had a sugary crust on the outside. Both donuts were amazing and we walked away happy! If you have a sweet tooth, this is the right place to go. We ordered inside, where there is a big glass case with all of the available donuts inside, but there is also a drive through. They took our order very quickly and gave us our donuts in a box. There were small paper plates inside so that it was easier to share. read more

If you've never had the pleasure of partaking in one of Parlor Doughnuts genius creations, I'll tell you this much....it's NOTHING like a typical Doughnut, or even the over-hyped, annoyingly cliche Cronut. This goes SO many levels beyond what any first-timer would expect or even dream of. I've been to both locations, but this one, which has quickly become a fixture in St. Johns County, is my favorite. Pro Tip: IF you DARE come here during the weekend, get here EARLY. With greatness comes popularity, and it's worth setting an alarm to have first pick of the goodies. The Noms: I've tried a good variety (for research purposes....of course), and my standout favorite is the Churro. Grab a handful of napkins before you dig in. It's generously bathed in cinnamon-sugar and chocolate ganache, but it's SO worth the mess. On my most recent visit I stumbled upon their seasonal offering, The White Christmas Doughnut, which is lusciously coated in white chocolate ganache, holiday sprinkles, and a white chocolate covered pretzel. It's truly fascinating how many delicate, flaky layers they manage to fit into just one Doughnut. Delicious, scrumptious, mouth-wateringly satisfying. While I'm not a big coffee drinker, I spurged and paired it with a cool, crisp White Christmas Iced Latte, festively garnished with whipped cream and white chocolate chips. Surprisingly not too sweet or overpowering, but quite refreshing. And So: Just GO. 5 stars isnt enough, and for those with dietary restrictions, ill let you know that they have Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Keto options ready and waiting. You're welcome. Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, SUPPORT the the AMAZING creators of extraordinary eats at Parlor Doughnuts, and as always...SYOY! read more

So before I get into the donuts, this is what we ordered. From top left to right Blueberry, caramel bourbon, strawberry glaze, cinnamon toast Middle left to right Pistachio strawberry, turtle cheesecake, vanilla glaze, maple bacon Bottom left to right Strawberry shortcake, coconut creme, chocolate glaze, maple pecan While these donuts look like they would be heavy and super sweet, they are not. The dough reminded me of a croissant more than a donut. It was light, fluffy and flaky. Most of them were not filled, which was a plus for me as I feel that it sometimes makes the donuts overly sweet. The topping added just the right amount of sweet to that savory dough. Don't get me wrong though, while they aren't an immediate sugar high, these bad boys are HUGE! We cut ours into 4 so we could each try a piece, and after 4 different pieces, I was stuffed and needed a break. We'll try round 2 later. They do also serve breakfast sandwiches which looked pretty amazing having glanced around at the occupied tables. I definitely plan on returning to try those as well. read more

The best donut shop you can ever find! They also have delicious coffee and breakfast tacos (chorizo) are my favorite!

Layered doughnuts?! I was intrigued and had to try them! Parlor doughnuts definitely did not disappoint. I picked the coconut cream doughnut and it was sensational. It was like a croissant, doughnut, & coconut cream pie had a baby! The custard inside was thick and flavorful! The doughnut itself was succulent inside with a toasty crust! Truly epic flavor explosions! Not too sweet, definitely filling and utterly delectable! I'll be back! Service was friendly and fast! read more

Love the honey latte from here. Its perfect and consistent every time I've had it which is hard to find. Love that.

Yummm! These are not your typical doughnuts. With all the flaky layers they are more of a cross between a croissant and a doughnut. They're quite on the large side for me so I prefer the minis (coconut cream). The plain ones make for a delicious breakfast sandwich. read more

Customer service is absolutely amazing. I asked 1000 questions and she did not mind explaining them to me. The donuts are light, flaky and full of flavor. It was very much worth the drive and whenever I am on this side of town, I will 100% be back. I purchased the Truro Boston cream, sandy Beach raspberry pistachio and the turtle. I absolutely loved the raspberry pistachio. You can taste both flavors. The custard in the Boston cream is PERFECT! My son loved the turtle he said you can taste the Carmel in there with the crunch of the nuts. If you have a sweet tooth trust me these are the donuts for you. read more

Holy donut! This place is incredible. Get ready to spend some money, get messy and stuff your face. The donuts are massive and taste like a cross between a thick cake donut and croissant. Each donut is topped with some concoction that will get all over your face, clothes and fingers. Such a good time. They have so many different flavors it's hard to get just one. I bought a half dozen which cost around $18. With the price it's worth it, but it's definitely not an everyday donut place. Otherwise, you'll go broke. I opted for: Cherry cheesecake (seasonal) - very cheesecakey, but no cherry flavor at all. Kind of disappointed. Wouldn't get it again. The campfire - chocolate glaze, burnt marshmallows and graham cracker crumble - very solid, we enjoyed it. Maple bacon - maple glaze with crumbled bacon - this was fantastic. Just wish there was more bacon. The smokiness mixed so well with the sweetness. Lemonade - lemon and powdered sugar - absolutely delicious. Nice balance of sweetness and lemon flavor. Boston cream - chocolate glaze with Bavarian cream on the inside - omg was my description of this donut. Definitely will be on the priority list when coming back. The Princess donut (secret off the menu donut!) - strawberry glaze, sprinkles, marshmallows and whipped cream. The girl behind the counter knew I was having a hard time picking a donut for my 4 yr old daughter. She said this was the perfect donut for her, but you have to ask for it since it's not on the menu. It was fantastic and my daughter felt very special eating it. All in all I'm pretty obsessed with this place. It's unique and there's so many flavors to choose from, you'll never get bored. The staff were friendly and the donuts were fresh. I highly recommend them! read more

Depends on if you like enormous doughy balls or not. Flavors are good but all on the outside. It's all dough after that.

Stopped by pretty late on a Wednesday, around noon, but there were still a large selection of donuts to choose from. We ordered the strawberry shortcake, blueberry, lavender, and french toast. All four of them were super airy and crunchy, yet the perfect balance of sweetness. Our favorites were the blueberry and strawberry ones, but all four were so good! The employees were all very sweet and were quick with their service! The interior of the shop was cute with a good amount of seating as well! Would definitely recommend this place for anyone in Jacksonville or stopping in the area! read more

The donuts here are really good, but the employees who work here are very unpleasant. They always treat like you are a bother to them just for ordering. They used to make the donuts for us at the end of the day (around 40 minutes before closing time) but since they've had all these rude people working there, they never do it anymore. read more

I came here on a Monday morning with a few friends and I found the service a bit offputting. I didnt order any donuts and you would have thought I committed a crime in front of everyone. The staff seemed put off by the fact that I didnt want any donuts and the cashier was abrupt. I ordered a sausage biscuit to eat and the food was hot and fresh, but didnt blow me away. Try the donuts you say...maybe I would if I ever went back. read more

YUM! Visited the Fruit Cove location and got a half dozen: Cookies & cream Raspberry Pistachio Cherry Cheesecake Strawberry Cheesecake Coconut Crème Maple Bacon I would maybe pass on the cookies and cream next time & try a different one. There's so many to choose from! Maple Bacon & Cherry Cheesecake were my personal favorite. These aren't your traditional doughnuts but more like cronuts. Light & airy. A must try in Jacksonville! read more

Fantastic service, adorable decor, and the food was delicious! The only negative is the waiting area is small so it's hard to get out of the way.

I can't believe cronut is back! Parlor Doughnuts calls it "layered" doughnuts though. But come on, those flakey and buttery texture is distinctly croissant lol! And I happen to love croissants! We came here on a Sunday and the place was very busy, but despite that, the service was fast. We got 2 pieces of their doughnuts plus iced and hot latte. What can I say, it was so good we came back again and again and again! Yes, 4 consecutive weeks of their amazingly yummy cronuts! I also like that they have an unsweetened option which they call the Plain Jane. We also enjoyed the blueberry hill flavor. Just a tip: they taste even better when toasted! Slightly crispy on the outside, and soft inside! The best! Worth the calories! I can't wait to go back! read more

Walked in and immediately was nicely greeted :) So many super yummy options! Had a hard time deciding but ended up going with French toast, cookies n cream, campfire, lemon bar, and two cinnamon sugar minis for the kids. Kids hated the minis- but their opinion doesn't matter too much. My husband also didnt love it but only because it was more of a croissant type dough vs pillowy dough. The other donuts were fantastic I think everyone's favorite is the French toast! So good! I appreciate that I wasn't overly sweet and tasted like it was good quality. I noticed they had breakfast sandwiches and tacos so I will definitely be back!!! read more

It's FriYay, my day off and had some down time. So I was in the area and decided to swing by Twisted Compass Coffee Shop and low and behold, it's now occupied by Parlor Doughnuts (insert "mindblown"). So I decided to check them out. Parlor Doughnuts newly opened on 5/19/2022. They specialize in layered doughnuts aka known as CroNuts aka hybrid Croissant+Donut, new concept, craft donut in the area. The shop also carries small breakfast item menu, which includes Acai Bowl, Oats, Breakfast Items. There's some Vegan and Gluten friendly items as well as Keto Doughnuts. They even have doughnuts catered for our 4-legged fur babies aka Dog Doughnuts. I ended up trying out their best seller, the French Toast. Loved it. A totally different taste from yeast or cake donuts. The frosting tasted abit sweet dough...I mean "though" All in all.... DONUT be afraid of calories. Swing by The Parlor. Come getcha some. read more

Run, do not walk, to Parlor Doughnuts. I am a donut lover on a good day, but these may be my most favorite ever. And that's saying quite a bit. Holy moly. Parlor is known for their "layered" doughnuts. They are light, flaky, and served warm with toppings. The base of all the "regular" donuts is the same, which is nice because they can make more throughout the day, rather than running out. I approve. At the moment, I have no favorite. The carnival (vanilla glaze with sprinkles), maple bacon, and strawberry shortcake were all so heavenly. I also had a bite of the double chocolate, which was good. The raspberry filled with powdered sugar was almost like a beignet. Delicious. We actually went twice in the same week: the first time I brought home treats for the family with an iced coffee (super yummy). And the second time my husband brought home a dozen for the week, as well as more for our friends. Their daughter is gluten free, so he got a GF option for her (she loved it). There are some flavored syrups for the coffee, and egg sandwiches as well. The parking lot is a bit of a challenge, and the store is small, but it's manageable. read more
