    They are located on the corner of Euclid Ave and Marquis, next door to Kroger. If you turn off of Euclid to Marquis, once on Marquis, you can then immediately back-in to a spacious angled parking spot. I am gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and soy-free, and this establishment offers doughnuts with these specifications. And I'm so glad they do! The staff member helped me navigate the menu and was super helpful. Only the vanilla-based vegan gluten-free doughnuts are soy-free, so if you cannot tolerate soy, do not order the chocolate-based doughnuts. I ordered the vanilla-based vegan, gluten-free, soy-free French Toast doughnut, as well and the vanilla-based vegan, gluten-free, soy-free Strawberry Shortcake doughnut. OMG the French Toast was my favorite! I loved both doughnut flavors, however, the French Toast is stellar! The establishment is large inside, plenty of seating available, and very clean. I don't often eats sweets, and if I do, I usually make them myself. When I do decide to treat myself to something that I have not made, I will venture here.

    One word, Dangerous. Parlour Donuts has officially ruined my self-control in the best way possible. These donuts aren't just good, they're dangerously good. The kind where you fully intend to order one... and somehow walk out with two. Or three. The layers are perfectly flaky, the flavors works well well together, and every bite feels like it was engineered to make you say "okay, just one more." Fair warning to anyone with even a shred of restraint: you will lose it the moment you take your first bite.

    What an awesome find in Lexington! Wife and I wanted something quick and easy before our day of outdoor market fun started on Saturday. After a quick Yelp search I suggested Parlor Doughnuts and boy were we amazed by the doughnuts. My wife said that Parlor Doughnuts is definitely her favorite of all time. We both loved the texture that Parlor doughnuts have, almost like a croissant (or doughsant) type. Not overly sweetened dough, but the sugar cinnamon dusting brings it all together. I ventured out to get the premium version, Coconut cream and the seasonal Peach Cobbler. In full honesty, that coconut cream filling is probably the best I've ever had. Top it off with the whipped topping and you basically have a handheld mini coconut cream pie. It's no lie when Parlor claims to be small batch.

    since the reviews were all over the place, I decided to give it a go this morning. haven't had a donut in years. If you've ever had a cake doughnut, thats what these are. The croissant style doughnut is for the reg gluten ones only! Which means the gorgeous presentation online/in display cases, is not the same as what us GF peeps get. That said, these are still yummy, but it's the standard we're all used to. I saw other comments about dryness, mine weren't Denseness, these are hefty, because they're more like cake. I wanted the vanilla and chocolate bases, but all they had this morning was chocolate. You choose one of the 2 bases then the top glaze: French toast, Strawberry, Blueberry, Chocolate with sprinkles (there were 1 or 2 others that I can't recall). The chocolate on chocolate was lovely, but I was only able to eat half because it is so rich. The blueberry was my favorite, but wish it had been on a vanilla doughnut instead of chocolate. (if you are not a huge chocolate fan, call before you come!) Also, make sure you get extra napkins. Like most other gluten-free foods, these began to break into chunks.

    These doughnuts are amazing! I had the maple bacon and it did not disappoint. The menu also had breakfast sandwiches as well but we only had doughnuts. Restaurant was clean. Parking on the street. Didn't feel they were overpriced either for the size of the doughnut.

    The inside is bright and modern-- very welcoming! We came because my parents are on keto and this place makes keto donuts! My partner and I did not order keto though and thought these were fantastic! I got the s'mores donut and he got the cookies and cream. Can't go wrong with either! Soon after we ordered, about 3 mins later they had our donuts ready! Nice and quick for sure. We're visiting for the holidays and would come back here again when we are in the area!

    So, so good! We got a variety of doughnuts and they were all top notch. We also got a few different breakfast sandwiches which were very good! The ~vibe~ was very chill and there was plenty of space to sit comfortably. Prices were fair for craft doughnuts. The only reason I took a star is because they didn't have any high chairs, and doughnuts are quite possibly one of the worst foods to have a toddler eat while sitting in your lap.

    Bad service waited 50+ minutes for this! My order was forgotten and never started. Multiple customers who arrived after us received their orders. And when I asked a second time about it they said it was coming but it was clear the order was missed. I see lots of the same comments you would think by now they would have changed their system.NEVER COMING BACK

    Cookies & Cream donut, mini donuts with chocolate glaze dipping sauce! Very good, rich, donuts!

    Inside the Restaurant

    I recently tried these and they were fantastic - They are able to make any of the donuts on their menu to order at any time so you have a ton to choose from. I took mine to go but the restaurant is so cute! Definitely a good spot to meet a friend or do some work. The team was so kind & went above and beyond to make sure I understood the menu since it was my first time.

    Airy spacious interior

    This is simple: GET THE LAYERED DONUTS! I was shocked at how unique these were. The donut has an airy flaky crunch when you cut into it. Soft gooey inside with a satisfying crispy exterior... my eyes and jaw opened wide with excitement. Wow these rock! My favorite flavors were the strawberry shortcake and Bourbon caramel. I also personally enjoyed the keto maple donut, which was low in sugar and fat. My girlfriend didn't like the flavor, but I did. It was a moist cake donut texture, so that's either up your alley or not. Also worth noting was the comfortable seating, as the leather chairs and wide wooden tables made for a nice study space. The walls are all glass so there's also a lot of natural light, and they offer free wifi. I didn't see many electric plugs, though, just FYI. In summary, this is a versatile and delicious donut shop that I highly recommend!

    Carnival donut . Omg, yes yes yes!!

    So glad we check out this spot while in town. Found it on yelp, of course and the pictures of the donuts made me slightly drool. Very clean establishment with decorative flooring. All their donuts seem to be rolled in a cinnamon sugar then they add the topping. I only saw a few filled ones. I opted for the carnival donut cause the little kid in me is a sucker for rainbow sprinkles. Pops got the turtle cheesecake which seemed to sell out within minutes afterwards. If I lived in town I would be in every week to try a new flavor. Next time I'm in Lexington I'm definitely circling back.

    This donut shop has a widespread variety of locations. I'd bookmarked them during my trip to Nashville and missed them, only to find them opening up weeks later in Lexington, fortunately for me. The variety of flavors they had was quite impressive, and I had to think about it before arriving at a churro donut, which was as light and fluffy as one could hope for, while still indulgent in taste. I was rather interested in their shake selection too, but I'd had enough sugar for one day so I'll have to come back. The most pertinent comparison to me seems to be to our local North Lime, which has a smaller selection but more distinctive and local options, as well as a more caky and less fluffy texture. They're both quite impressive. Also worthy of note: they do offer some vegan/GF donuts which they will apparently custom glaze, and their shakes come vegan as well.

    We decided to try this place based on reviews but left disappointed. The reviews that we had seen…read moremade it seem like a typical donut shop that would have a big variety to pick from. Unfortunately they only had about 5 different pastries to choose from and they did not appear to be freshly made. We ended up leaving empty handed. It was very loud inside and the layout was confusing. People were going different directions to line up so I'm not sure which way you're actually supposed to line up. This place is more like a Starbucks than a donut shop which isn't our vibe.

    We noticed North Lime Coffee & Donuts while visiting Chocolate Holler a day prior. It was late…read moreafternoon, so North Lime was already closed. But the next morning, Hubby was craving donuts so we headed straight to the Greyline Station location. First impression, the interior is much more spacious than I expected! Also, I really dig the music that is played. I inquired about the music, and they were playing Indie Coffee Shop Vibes on Spotify. There are a few cushy chairs to sit in, lots of tables, chairs, a few booths, and a tiny library with children's books about donuts. One wall has a colorful mural, and near one of entrances behind the coffee counter is a poser of Britney Spears with a speech bubble containing the bathroom code. Looking at the donut selection, there was one vegan option. I believe they always carry one vegan option with a rotating flavor. On this particular day, it was a Vegan Snickers Donut. It's a chocolate donut, two icings (one being chocolate), and crushed peanuts. The flavor brought me instand joy! I especially liked the little bit of crisp biting into this cakey donut. Yum! https://bit.ly/4hJoppT I also had a Earl Grey Tea Latte with Almond Milk. Not sure where they get their tea but I was wowed on that first taste. The barista who helped us was welcoming and friendly. I appreciated that she shared her favorites while we were making decisions on what to order. I wish we had an opportunity to visit a second day while visiting Lexington for the week. Will definitely come back the next time we're in town.
