    So disappointed with our visit today. We just left the airport and decided to wait an hour and a half for them to open because we've been dying to try their donuts fresh first thing in the morning. We ordered a variety of 12 and NONE of them were even remotely warm. They have a good product but this is the first donut shop I've ever experienced to serve cold donuts upon opening.

    I recently tried Parlour Donuts for the first time, and oh my goodness! What heavenly, croissant-like donuts they make! With a wide variety of creative flavors, I suggest ordering many and then splitting amongst your family. Each donut easily divides into four good size pieces. Absolutely delicious! Favorites: Peach, lemon blueberry, and chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

    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.

    Chocolate on chocolate

    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.

    Coconut Cream Filled Peach Cobbler

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Box of 12 doughnuts

    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.

    Airy spacious interior
    Paul A.

    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!!
    Julie h.

    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.

    Josie's was our only stop in Lexington, but a pleasant one. My top-tier chum who literally went to…read morethe school of hospitality and I came by here to meet up with a colleague for brunch last Thursday morning. He's from this general area and recommended this spot, among a few others. I picked it because I liked the vibe, which I stand by in hindsight. Last Thursday was an atrocious weather day, raining for most of the time including the entire morning as we drove up to Lexington from Irvine. Since we'd never been over here, Josie's wasn't necessarily easy to spot apart from the other nearby businesses. It WAS very obviously in this larger strip mall situation (which doesn't seem like exactly the right term, but it's definitely in a building with a bunch of other stores), though we had to walk around almost the entire perimeter from our parking spot on Euclid to find it. Once we did, smooth sailing. Despite the fact that it was a weekday, Josie's was pretty busy when we walked in around 10ish. We WERE heading toward MDW, which could have been a factor, but this seems to be a pretty popular establishment regardless. It feels pretty new - this isn't like an old school greasy spoon diner type of situation - with some interesting artwork on the walls, and booths, regular tables and counter stools potentially available. Our colleague was already there and had secured a booth towards the back closer to the bathrooms, which allowed for some fun viewpoints of most of the restaurant. We were already a few days into our debauchery of a road trip, so I kept it pretty well-behaved - I opted for waffles with strawberries. That's it. The food came very quickly, as did the requested coffee, which might have ultimately been more important than the aforementioned waffles in the grand scheme of things. I honestly don't have a lot to say about them other than that they were perfectly fine waffles. The strawberries were fresh, the waffles themselves were cooked through but not too crispy, and that was that. I think it's a little hard to mess up something this basic, and thankfully all was well. The service was excellent throughout and even though I didn't foot any part of the bill (a thank you to our Kentucky colleague), the prices seemed very reasonable to me - though I also have a completely distorted perspective given that most of my consumerism takes place in the NYC area. No issues here; didn't see a ton of reasons to wander back into Lexington unless somehow Coach Cal comes back to coach the Cats and I miraculously score tickets to something at Rupp, but this was a nice little spot.
