Parlor Doughnuts was okay. And just okay. Some things were good, some things not. I'm glad I tried them once, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them again.
We got six donuts to try, which comes out to around $24. Overall, the texture of the donuts was soft and airy, but they all leaned too sweet. The best of the batch were the dreamsicle and the coconut cream donuts - these had a strong punch of flavor and were the only ones I'd consider ordering again. Maple bacon and french toast had a decent maple flavor, but maple bacon had an odd aftertaste, and I wouldn't want more than a bite of each due to the sweetness. Cookies and cream was just meh, and blueberry (typically one of my favorite flavors) was extremely underwhelming. It had zero berry flavor and was just sugar.
In addition to the donuts, I got the cold brew (largely because I figured it'd be quicker than a latte, but we still had to wait a while). They must've put the oat milk in before the coffee, because it just kind of sat there at the bottom. When I asked for a straw, they said that they're strawless. Look - I get why places do the whole strawless thing, but honestly? There's a lot of reasons someone might want or need a straw, and I'm personally not a fan of that at all. Flavor-wise, the coffee was fine, but not worth an extra $5.75.
The location is small, and I could see it getting very crowded. When we arrived at about 9:15 on a Sunday, there was a short line outside. It did move, but I'd avoid peak times for sure, and wouldn't really want to stay there to eat. As with a lot of places in FTL, they suffer from lack of parking too.
