Parlour Kitchen is a dessert haven in Apopka's Food Hall. Parlour Kitchen located at Halls on Fifth, which is a food hall in Apopka, has had their brick and mortar for a little bit now ever since being a pop up kitchen that has gained enough of a following and accolades to be more permanent. While Apopka does have some hidden gems, it used to be way too far for me to drive. Located at 15 E 5th St, Apopka, FL 32703, which is the address for Halls on Fifth. This is no longer the case, so I thought why not grab a sweet treat. Chef McKenzie is the owner and mastermind behind Parlour. Starting as a pop up kitchen, it's really come a long way since the days of posting about it only on social media and only being available a couple times a month. While I was unable to try any of the savory foods, his award winning dessert waffles and drinks were on the menu. He was also super nice when technology decided to betray me and not allow me to order what I wanted and I accidentally already paid for it. He still made me the items I actually wanted. I got the pineapple upside down waffle and it comes with a decadent caramel drizzle, some blueberry compote, and whipped cream. I also got the brown sugar matcha. Overall, ran me about $14 without tip. The waffle is a 9/10 for me. It was very sweet and decadent but due to good portioning, it wasn't too much. The fruit really cuts through the sweetness and the warmth and crisp of the waffle paired well. I'm a waffle person prior to being a pancake person. The brown sugar matcha is really what may bring me back. The matcha was nice quality but the brown sugar syrup that has a little bit of cinnamon in it really surprised me with how good it paired. I think of matcha and brown sugar, but the cinnamon is a new one for me. That was a 9/10 as well. Overall, I think if you're in the area, give them a visit and see some of the other food stalls inside of Halls on Fifth. They even have weekly events. I think it's undiscovered and Apopka doesn't have a crazy amount of things. So I think something like this is really cool and great for residents over in that area. read more

I recently checked out the new Parlor Waffle Kitchen located inside Hall's on 5th in Apopka. I'm so happy they found a permanent home and that I can now get my hands on these tasty desserts all of the time! They specialize in cookie-stuffed waffles paired perfectly with Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream, as well as matcha drinks, melk-shakes, and more. This time we decided to try 2 of the waffle flavors starting with their award-winning corn mochi. It's a corn mochi waffle stuffed with a vanilla cookie, dipped in hot honey butter, and topped with sea salt, torched popcorn, and caramel whipped cream... omg it's heavenly! Next, we tried the seasonal Peach Gobbler waffle topped with peach compote and a cinnamon glaze. I might have liked this one even more, but it was hard to choose a favorite. We also had a scoop of ice cream topped with a strawberry compote which was AMAZING! The perfect sweet treat on a hot summer day. I really want to try the strawberry shortcake waffle next, as well as their yummy sounding matcha drinks! The owner, Ryan, mentioned he would be expanding the menu down the road and adding some more of their savory dishes. Excited to see what they do next! read more

Pros: Ambiance was cool. It's just a little shop, but the inside is decorated very well. Very thematic. Service was nice. The lady got to us before we ordered something that they were out of, at least. Food was delicious. That popcorn mochi waffle thing was insanely good. I could have eaten four more of them. Cons: Like I said, they didn't have a component of the dessert on hand, so that was pretty disappointing. Tips: They have a waffle sampler now, which they didn't have when we went, so definitely get that! read more

I've been following this business since I had the ube waffle at a previous Yelp event, so I was so excited to be able to go out and support them at a pop up event! Two food truck events in two weeks so you know I'm addicted now! The street corn has a Cajun twist on it that I was absolutely not mad at, and the pineapple upside down waffle had me wanting to go back for seconds! As always, the team is so kind and humble about their work, so it's no wonder that they receive so much love from the community. I'm looking forward to having more of their food next week and at other events in the future! read more

Lots of buzz with all the winnings of best desserts and all that! We tried the waffle flight which was about $20 and came with a total of 1 waffle (with the cookie inside) but it was cut into 1/4 to get all 4 flavors. Basic witch & peach gobbler were tied in 3rd place, Ube was my 2nd choice, and the corn mochi was definitely number 1 (and the one voted #1 best dessert in the USA). read more

One of the major reasons we came to the Hall on 5th is because of The Parlor. This place has a lot of buzz around it, so we had to come and see what all the fuss was about. We got here, settled in with drinks and had our savory dishes. Then it was time for dessert, and that magnificent mochi waffle thing with the popcorn associated with it. The only problem is that they were out of marshmallow fluff. That was a major bummer. It wasn't too late in the day either. What we did have was really good, though. I can tell that the finished product would absolutely have been unique and delicious enough to win best dessert in the country. The crispy exterior and the chewy interior, strong with corn/popcorn flavor, just lovely. Overall, this was the crown jewel of the visit, and even though there was a major disappointment involved, it has left me hungry for more. I'll be back. read more

Parlor Kitchen definitely impressed us with our quick try of the waffle combo. We tried the corn mochi waffle for $8 at the cute park in Casselberry. Love the unique flavor combos of the corn mochi, with chewy center and smoked popcorn. I do wish it was a little of a bigger portion but loved the flavor. Would totally try something different next time from Parlor Kitchen. Plus side it's always at new locations, so easy to try if you follow their insta. read more

New dessert place at the Apopka Foodhall. Great showmanship and execution. The portion is surprisingly filling. I ordered the corn mochi and it was interesting. Sweet, salty, warm with a hint of heat from chilli flakes. Will try the flight next time where you get portions of all the offerings. read more

We checked out the pop-up tonight at Tactical Brewery and it did not disappoint. We order everything on the menu - Mexican street corn, macaroni and cheese, garlic chicken, Ube waffle, and vampires breakfast waffle. The garlic chicken with creamy mashed potatoes was the clear food winner. The chicken was in a rich tomatoe wine sauce. The chicken was so tender. I scrapped the bowl clean. The kids enjoyed the mac and cheese. It had a crispy cheesy top which made it special. Mexican street corn was good with a nice aioli drizzle. Nothing to write home about though. We had to try the waffles because of their reputation and they did not disappoint. They were dense, rich waffles, with a soft cookie stuffed inside. They also came with unique dipping sauces which added another flavor to each bit. The owner was kind and playful with the kiddos which I appreciated. You can tell a lot of creativity goes into his food. I will be excited to see what comes next from him. read more

This places doesn't disappoint! From food - desserts, this place is full of flavors! An absolute must if you're in for something unique!

Amazing, amazing, amazing food! We tried Parlor Kitchen at a drag bingo night at Ivanhoe Brewing. We ordered the macaroni and wap with the garlic chicken, and it was so delicious. Some of the best food I've gotten in awhile. Super high scale from the normal food tent/truck. The waffles were excellent as well, along with the customer service. I hope we have a run in again around Orlando! read more
