10/10 doughnuts. Bacon was sweeter to me than the raspberry pistachio. But great in their own ways. Place was packed on a Memorial Day. Cons: 0/10 latte. I got a sugar free caramel latte and it was wayyyyyy too much syrup and too sweet. Maybe someone messed up with the amount of pumps because it was so sweet, it was tough to finish. My husband got an Americano and said the plain coffee was pretty good so I ll let it slide. Price for a doughnut was a little high but they are not your typical Krispy crème flavors and it's a layered doughnut that is 2x the size of a regular doughnut you'd get at the store. Price of a latte was pushing $6+ for a small which is steep considering it wasn't super great. Music VERY loud. Not only was is packed but I couldn't hear my husband at the table because it was seriously so loud in there. PRO: Bathrooms were clean. Staff were nice. Restaurant was clean and updated/renovated. Will go back for doughnuts all day, but not coffee. read more

This place is amazing and the doughnuts are delicious! Very unique flavors and they are big in portion size so you can share and taste a bunch of fun flavors!I The only downside is that everything goes in a box and it seems wasteful, but I get it saves on washing dishes. 100% worth waiting on line to try! read more

I really hope we get one of these closer to my home. This donut shop was by the strip and they are handing out some fresh and tasty donuts. We got a 4 pack of donuts and wished we got another for the trip back home. I love that they have savory options if you wanna try something a bit different for lunch or dinner read more

So good we went back twice! I didn't even get to take a picture before we chowed down. The line looks like but it good super fast, and they have sweet, savory, keto, vegan, and gluten friendly! 10/10 you need to go! They also have sandwiches. read more

The line was out of the door! Thankfully there was a drive thru, however it moved at a snail pace. I didn't get to try the donuts because it's no way I was paying $40 for 1 dozen. We needed a quick bite as we were heading home. I wasn't aware of the kind of donuts so o asked for a dozen of plain. Apparently these are specialty donuts. Maybe I'll try one in the future to see the what the hype is about. Until then it's Krispy Kreme for $16. read more

Spent a little over $20 for a black coffee, matcha, 2 donuts and 2 minis. This was my first time and the line was out the door but it moves quick. Staff are friendly and able to assist you picking out a tasty treat. We got a French toast donut and a strawberry carnival which were very sweet and huge!! Eating one is just enough to fix your hunger. The mini we got was raspberry and coconut cream which are just smaller versions of the big donuts. These minis were 2 bites but were very good. The coffees and matcha hit the spot. This place is very busy and lively but it's a fun family friendly joint that has a lot of traffic. It's tight sitting areas but make a new friend and discuss your purchases!! read more

I previously left a review for Parlor Doughnuts, and honestly, it wasn't great. The doughnuts themselves were fantastic, but the staff at the time were less than stellar--pretty rude, to be blunt. After a couple of visits with the same experience, I decided I wasn't going back. Well... my BFF--also my wife and motorcycle-riding shadow, "Queenie"--wanted to stop and grab some doughnuts to take home. I was a hard "NO"... but she won, so we stopped. From the moment we walked in, it was a completely different experience. We were greeted with smiles and genuinely polite service. Naturally, being a bit skeptical, I figured, "Okay, service is better... maybe the food slipped." Not the case at all. If anything, the doughnuts tasted even better than before. We grabbed two boxes of minis and a dozen doughnuts--which, by the way, is no small task when you're packing them into motorcycle saddlebags--but we made it work, and we were glad we did. This review is simply to say: kudos to Parlor. Great job turning things around and making customers feel like they've stepped into a top-class place. I'll definitely be back. And if you stop in, feel free to tell them the biker "1/2 Time" or "Phatt Panda" sent you. I don't get anything for it--but at least they'll know I meant it when I said I'd come back and leave an honest review. read more

The sausage biscuit was the best thing ever! Ate it two days in a row! The doughnut display is such a fun experience and the donut holes are a nice option if you're just wanting a bite! Such fun flavor options and great coffee too. This is a must if you're in the area. read more

My family stayed here over the past week, and we went to this place twice! It is located in a convenient spot, not too far away from the beach and in the city. The donuts are AMAZING! So soft, with a crispy outside. Every single one is a treat, so don't go into it expecting to eat more than one. Creative flavors, exceptional baking, and illustrious texture make these donuts to die for. The staff were extremely friendly. They were timely with their service, and provided information when necessary. They made us feel so welcome. If we come back to GS, we'll be sure to visit again! read more

Omg! Why hasn't someone told me about Parlor Donuts! lol. The biggest tastyness most delicious donuts ever. And the selection is amazing. Some combinations, flavors and toppings that will blow your mind. Turtle Cheesecake, French Toast and Churro to name a few. I definitely had to try a few different ones so a dozen it was. lol. And all your favorites when it comes to your coffee needs, whether it's hot or cold, teas or blended and refreshers they have it all. I was so impressed with the doughnuts and flavors I completely forgot about their very creative line up of breakfast sandwiches. But not worry, it gives me an excuse to go back. Hehe. read more

Came here for breakfast during spring break. The savory donuts are a definite must. The ice coffees weren't the craziest but still have good flavor. I ordered a honey cinnamon cold brew but it tasted like a regular cold brew. I'd recommend if you want a big selection of donuts. Over all a 7/10 * We also overheard another customer order a blue doggy donut for their pup * read more

I'm a donut affectionado. I've had them in every city and country we've lived in. Used to think Krispy Kreme glazed under the Hot Now sign were the best, but they can't hold a candle to the delectables in this place in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Like biting into a piece of heaven. In fact, I'm sure these donuts will be on the menu there. M-m good. read more

I had to go to parlor doughnuts since I had never been! The options are endless. They can make any donut on the menu at any time. I will say this makes the donuts not as fresh tasting but I appreciate not having to get there asap just to get a flavor a want. The space was large and perfect to sit and enjoy. Nothing to note of service as they were not very talkative. I would come back again first thing in the morning for a fresh donut. read more

We couldn't choose just 2 flavor so we got several each to try. Wow these are AMAZING!! We barely had to wait (off season though). The young girl at the register was very friendly. We recommend the raspberry pistachio, cookies and cream, s'more's, and strawberry shortcake (still waiting to eat the other flavors we got). I'm sure I'd recommend them all if I had tried them all! The location is convenient and nicely decorated with plenty of seating for a "donut shop". read more

Comfy and very inviting location. The staff was rocking and rolling and the doughnuts did not disappoint! To my surprise they even offer breakfast items, coffees, and souvenirs. There is plenty of area for sitting for a family or just cozying up with a friend or by yourself. The family had a variety of doughnuts, I had the raspberry filled doughnut The coffee was hot and the doughnut was warm as if it was just hot off the press Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Gulf Shore area. We're stopping by and picking up a couple on our way out. read more

Parlor Doughnuts was our last stop before leaving the Gulf Shores area, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. We definitely ordered more than we should have: a dozen doughnuts, a dozen minis, and breakfast tacos....but we have no regrets! Let's start with the breakfast tacos because they were incredible. In fact, they were some of the best breakfast tacos we've ever had, and that's saying something because we used to live in Texas. They were fresh, flavorful, and honestly worth the visit on their own. The doughnuts were equally impressive. If you've never had Parlor Doughnuts before, be prepared because these are not your typical doughnuts. They're huge, flaky, and more similar to a cronut-style pastry than a traditional cake or yeast doughnut. Every flavor we tried was rich, unique, and delicious. The quality of both the food and the experience exceeded our expectations. This is one of those places that instantly earns a spot on your vacation tradition list. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in the Gulf Shores area, and Parlor Doughnuts will be one of our first stops. read more

WOW! Absolutely blown away by their doughnuts. They have the perfect level of frosting and the dough was a perfect flakey outside and spongy inside. read more

Went on a Friday June morning (which was National Donut Day). Friendly staff who were efficient with all the customers. The donuts were so good with lots of flavor options. Husband enjoyed his cortado coffee. They had plenty of seating inside and out. read more

Really interesting flavors of donuts! When we got there, they did fresh glazing for us based on our order. I tried the vegan+gluten free donut and I thought it tasted like cardboard. I think it's the gluten free part of it that made it suck. The regular donuts tasted pretty good. The glazing and the flavors are pretty good. The place is nice to sit down and get some coffee and a donut. The staff is pretty friendly. read more

I was visiting a friend in Gulf Shores, who loves Parlor Doughnuts, so it was a must on our weekend to-do list. We actually went twice, if that's any indication about the doughnuts. I had the French toast doughnut (one of their most popular) and then the raspberry pistachio, and both were delicious! I appreciated the unique flavor combinations. I'd also like to give a plug for the breakfast sandwiches. I had the Sausage Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich both times--the fig jam and sage butter instantly elevate a basic sandwich into a tasty breakfast experience. HIGHLY recommend. For timing reference, our first visit was on a Saturday, and it was quite crowded (to be expected, honestly). We were still able to find seating, but it was definitely abuzz. We went back the second time on a Monday morning, and it was much calmer. It's a fun spot if you're looking for a sweet treat! read more

Delectable! 10 am and busy, busy! Wait was minimal, and lots of help. We had the maple pecan and it was melt in your mouth, packed with flavor. We also tried gluten free chocolate on chocolate. Total yum! And thank you for several options for vegan and gf! We will return for more! read more

Gluten free options are very nice, just a little underbaked. Will definitely try them again on my next trip to gulf shores!

Everything is amazing. The donuts and other items, the staff, the prices and the service. Line out the door went quickly. It was a little drive from where we were staying but well worth it. read more

Long line but went quickly at 9am. Worth the stop. Good latte (had the pistachio) with more coffee flavor than Starbucks. Everyone approved of their donut (how can you not). Had the donut egg sandwhich... would have been perfect with a bit of glaze, but with the mini donut as a side was still delicious. Will have to go back after 11am next trip to try a savory one! read more

Cute little donut shop off one of the main roads in gulf shores. The cashier was helpful with us by explaining all the different donuts to us. These donuts are my new favorite! Just by looking at them they seem dense but the inside of them is actually quite light like croissants. They had plenty of flavors to pick from whether you like chocolate or fruity or filled. Definitely recommend coming here! read more

Oh my, what a great place. My wife and I were looking for a new place for our weekly Saturday breakfast outing. I found this place and thought since we were out of tourist season, it would not be busy.... WRONG!! And there is a reason. Great service, great atmosphere - the decor is awesome, and really good donuts - they are really CRONUTS. There are lots of selections, we chose the favorite, which is French Toast, also Sandy Beach (Cinnamon Roll) and Maple Bacon. If you read some of the reviews you will See people complain about the donuts being sweet, or too sweet..... These are donuts. Some also state they all tasted the same. Our experience could not have been further from this. While you might think French Toast and Cinnamon Roll would be similar, they were very different. We could really taste the "egginess" of the French toast, and the warmth of cinnamon on the Sandy Beach. The Maple flavor came through on the Maple Bacon, along with the saltiness and smokiness of the bacon. All three were really good. We ALSO ordered the Avocado Toast and the breakfast tacos with Chorizo. Both of these were solid as well. The Toast came with boiled egg on it and they use Tajin to add a salty and citrusy flavor. It was well seasoned. We enjoyed the tacos and it came with a good green salsa for topping. The chorizo was not as prominent as I prefer. If I order chorizo, I am wanting to really taste the chorizo!! Don't go here expecting Krispy Kreme prices. These are different in a lot of different ways. We also got our dog a treat as well. Can't wait to see how he likes it!! read more

The best donut I've ever had. Also their coffee is a must!!! So many options for donuts and the vegan donuts are also so delicious!

Omg! Big fluffy donuts, fried old fashion style and they have lost of options of flavors. I got the bourbon caramel, and the maple bacon. The first bit into the bourbon caramel I was melt with the donut in my mouth. Would go back again. Expect it to be pricey but way better than Krispy Kreme. read more
