In Chicago, the donut craze sort of hit like a tornado. It was massive, but seemingly over as fast as it landed. The love of donuts clearly lives on as strong as ever in the suburbs. I might have to make a list just for the top donut spots. This place would be up there. The hype around this place was no joke. My friends were checking in here and my family recommended it directly after their visit. Its hard to justify going this far from my area for donuts but I finally had a day off and a good excuse, so I made the trip. Worth it. Walking in before noon on a Saturday, seems like I got lucky. It was calm when I ordered but getting crazy by the time I left a few minutes later. The space is nice with big windows that let the sun in. You walk up to the counter and order, they have everything displayed right there in the case next to you so you can agonize over your choices. I got four donuts. The Chicago Style (a featured donut), the bourbon caramel, the lemon bar, and the peanutbutter cup. They have perfectly sized 4 pack boxes too. Cute. So who else remembers the cronut craze? One place did it, then everyone was doing it, then it just disappeared. These donuts are similar, structurally. Flakey tender layers inside, a nice crispy outside, these are good donuts. They hold up to the toppings and fillings your getting as well. They look massive but they're so airy you can keep eating them! I started with the bourbon caramel. Really good flavor on this one. The bourbon flavor is actually noticeable, which I loved, but if you just want caramel it might be a bit much for you. Next up was my new favorite donut, the lemon bar. The lemon curd on top with the icing and whipped cream was just perfect. I'd get this every time. The Chicago Style is decadent. This was the only filled donut I got and the brownie batter filling is rich and delicious! Chocolate sauce topping with Twix crumble too... just a home run. I saved the peanutbutter cup for thr next day, and the donut holds up. Over twenty four hours later and it's still soft and perfect, not stale or hard at all. The toppings are just Chocolate and peanutbutter, but those are always a good combination. It was quite tasty. Price point is high for donuts, but not really for luxury donuts like these, and by today's standards its almost reasonable. These are a treat, not your everyday donuts, and even though I'm almost an hour away I'll definitely be back!

These savory donuts and unique and so delicious! My goodness what a great idea! The service was great the whole team was nice! Ryan, Addie and Joey so a great job running this location. They certainly made sure everything was clean and stocked. Their professionalism was remarkable and welcoming. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy your sweet and/or savory donut and a drink. I did learn the cater as well. So many great options to choose from. My favorite savory is the Margherita and honestly, I haven't found my favorite sweet donut yet. Guess I'll have to go back for another visit, soon!

I was recently staying in the Chicago suburbs and saw this unique donut shop nearby. We were craving an afternoon treat so ended up ordering delivery from Parlor Doughnuts to try their unique layered donuts. I was surprised to see that they have sweet and savory donuts and had to try the savory. We ended up ordering a seasonal blueberry cheesecake and a margherita donut. First starting off with the margherita donut, the donut base was great with a crispy outer layer topped with a tangy tomato sauce, cheese, and basil. It did come a bit cold and we didn't wait to heat it up but I'd imagine it would be better warm. The soft yet crunchy donut makes for a great base for the pizza toppings and we really enjoyed this! The blueberry cheesecake was good as well with the donut sprinkled with sugar but I was a bit disappointed that the donut wasn't filled and the only blueberry cheesecake flavor was in the topping. I liked that it wasn't too sweet but it could have been better filled with cream. Overall the texture of the donut is nice and fun to try. It reminds me of a cronut without the croissant layers inside but I do love a crispy outside on my donuts and this was a unique type of donut to try!

First time trying Parlor Doughnuts in Rolling Meadows and I'm already planning my next visit. I ordered the honey glazed and the Hawaiian BBQ chicken donut--one sweet, one savory--and both were seriously good. The donuts are HUGE and super filling. They're not your typical donuts either... more like a croissant-donut hybrid, flaky and soft with a nice texture. Honestly, you could easily share one. Also grabbed an iced matcha latte, which paired perfectly. I went on a Friday morning right before lunch. It was pretty busy, but the staff was still really friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. They also have some cute merch for sale! Good to know: savory donuts are only available after 11AM. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Went to Parlor Doughnuts today due to their Vegan/Gluten Friendly Donuts. My son is allergic to gluten, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, and soy. We read their ingredients online and it was all free from those ingredients. We called and asked about their preparation process and area and they prepare and cook their Vegan/Gluten Friendly doughnuts separately from the regular donuts. When we ordered, they did mention that there still is gluten in the kitchen but we were OK with trying it. We ordered the following: Sandy Beach, Double Chocolate, Strawberry with on chocolate, and French Toast. My son tried the Double Chocolate and wanted to devour the whole thing. The doughnut is cake style versus the raised style. He said it wasn't dense and really liked it. He can't wait to try the others. Overall, the doughnut was a "repeat" for him and I'm going to try it when we go again. I really love the fact that he could have a doughnut from a doughnut shop. I'm looking forward to the weekend so he can have it fresh and we can chill in a very cool place to hang out.

I stopped by during my late lunch break to grab some donuts & drinks. Parking: free parking in the lot but not a fan of getting into the parking lot. Can't get in through the area where there's other stores (restaurants & stores).. Customer service: the lady that helped me was soo kind, helpful & patient. I appreciated that she went out of her way to get new tongs for the donuts without being asked when I mentioned that my daughter had pistachio allergies. Atmosphere: nice, clean & modern vibe. Great for catching up with a friend(s), studying or working. They have an enclosed room so that would be nice for work/study Coconut milk refresher: sweet & good with pieces of strawberries. I like the option to be able to get a refresher with coconut milk. Latte: coffee with your choice or milk (opted for oatmeal and it was good. Donuts: they have sweet & savory options and the donuts are pretty big...but they have cute small donuts too which is perfect for little ones or if u just want something small Breakfast sandwich: I thoroughly enjoyed the sausage biscuit with egg sandwich. The biscuit was soft and the pattie tasted different too. The fig jam was a great addition and it complimented the sandwich well. My daughter, who is a picky eater, also enjoyed the sandwich. I'll be back when I'm in the area

I was so excited to come here! The parking lot though....I was a bit confused. I thought I was going to be able to cut through a lot. The two possible entrances to the lot were kinda small and you had to be heading from a certain direction. The space was pretty spacious and spread out! There was also a "private" room as well which was nice. Walked in late afternoon and was greeted by the staff. It was kinda quiet, but it was nice. We were told by staff that if we didn't see certain donuts on the display, that they were able to make it fresh for us! LOVED THAT!! Savory items were also on the menu along with some other items other than donuts. My friend and I ordered the French toast donut and the strawberry shortcake donut. I also ordered a peppermint white mocha.....which was just okay. I couldn't really taste the peppermint. My friend and I loved both donuts! It was nice and airy with the perfect amount of sweetness to it! I wanted to order some to take home but I knew it would be better fresh and I would have to finish it within the next day or two. That means, I'll be back again.

Looking for a sweet way to start your morning? Head on into Parlor Doughnuts! The decor sets the mood for the experience with cute vibes, fun merch and a delectable looking pastry case highlighting the full breadth of doughnuts they offer. Staff is beyond friendly and welcoming! All the doughnuts are airy and fluffy inside with a crispy exterior. We tried the French toast and maple bacon doughnuts. French toast is the "most popular" and we could easily see why. Well balanced with a delicious glaze on top of the cinnamon sugar. Truly resembled French toast! Maple bacon frosting was delicious. Wish the bacon contributed more to overall flavor but the texture difference from the crunchy bacon was nice.

Great donuts and coffee. The caramel macchiato was not bitter at all and definitely not too sweet. Absolutely perfect. I love the Peanut Butter Cup Donut. So glad we came here! The packaging is so nice and the donuts are delicious. Pick some up and bring them to a friend or family member... very impressive.

Stopped by here on an early Sunday morning with my son . Everything was tasty . There was just a tad too much jam on my sausage biscuit but I'd definitely return . Service is prompt and friendly . It's a beautiful space to sit and enjoy

This ain't your run of the mill donut shop. Very chill setting, kind of bougie vibe. Had the blended caramel macchiato, it's alright, nothing special. But the star of the show are the donuts. All the sweet donuts were good but just too sweet for my taste. But have you heard of savory donuts? Yeah me neither but damn why didn't I know about this sooner?! They had a nice variety like chicken bacon ranch, pepperoni, margherita, pig & fig, buffalo chicken and bbq chicken. We had the bbq chicken and let me tell you, that was the BEST donut sweet or savory that I've ever had. I'm not even a bbq chicken pizza guy, but this just works on a donut. Taste almost like a dense croissant. Highly recommended.

I usually take pics before I eat but I did not do that here. The donuts are so soft and fluffy. I loved the savory ones which I was not dxpecting. My favorite sweet ones are the french toast and turtle donut. I only have pictures on the french toast since I had some leftover for the next day, but trust me. Doughnuts are worth it!!!

The donuts are so fresh and delicious! I tried the turtle cheesecake, fig and pig, Hawaiian, and turtle. Everything was delicious. The coffee is really good too. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is now my favorite place for donuts!
