These are gourmet doughnuts, or cronuts! They are crispy and flaky on the outside, and soft on the inside, like a buttery croissant. The menu is simple, concentrating on featuring the donuts, and there is a good variety of flavors. I also had the honey cinnamon cold brew which was excellent. Dont mind the picture! I couldnt resist taking a bite first. Worth the visit, a treat to enjoy while out and about.
Excellent donuts. I am not really a donut fan, but I was drawn in by the cool interior and look of the store. I tried their sandy beach donut and I have to say that easily it is a 5/5. Trendy look and a great vibe inside the store. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend going if you have some time. Location is also near some great eats as well. Most popular donuts are the sandy beach, french toast, and some others.
Very fresh. Flavor and texture are outstanding. Bad for your figure but good for your soul for 5 minutes.Flavor from top left to bottom right: strawberry shortcake, blueberry, chocolate, campfire, French toast, and maple bacon. Kitty not included.Missing opportunity for not roasting the marshmallows on the campfire.
Wowza. What a treat. Culinary extreme flavors for doughnuts!It was definitely a sugar overload, but totally worth the crash.Seating is a bit janky (all the tables/chairs wobbled), and you’re likely to wait in line.We tried the strawberry shortcake and Reese’s. Both were delish. I preferred the fruity one, my bf preferred the Pb/chocolate one.
Some of the best donuts and in this case cronuts I have ever had! Love the different flavors they had and they are light and fluffy so it makes you feel somewhat less guilty pounding a whole one by yourself. New favorite dessert place in Oceanside! I got the french toast and the dandy beach and both were good! Cant wait to go back and try some of the fruity flavors.
You know how when you get a cinnamon roll and you are hoping the whole thing will be soft and warm and easy to tear with your teeth or fingers but then sometimes only the center fulfills your hopes and dreams -- the whole parlor doughnut every bite will satisfy these very wants and needs -- kind of like a gentle cozy dough pillowpuff hug texture for the tastebuds -- also appreciated modeling the #safetyhelmetllife
Good cronuts (croissants topped like donuts). Never had them before this, but they are lighter and more airy than normal donuts but still pack a flavorful and unique topping. While average donut price is higher, they really do stand in a class of their own.Wife had their lavender coffee and said it was delish too!
The donuts are outrageously good. The coffee is really good as well. My 3star rating is based on the cleanliness of the counters and the patio area. If they could address these issues, I’d increase my ratings.
I saw some coworkers eating these, and my mind was blown with how good they looked. I took my family there the following Saturday and all our minds were blown! These cronuts are amazing! They have a great selection of flavors. Every one Ive tried so far has been amazing. I cant wait to eat here again!
The donuts were amazing. I doubt think they even needed the toppings/flavor on the donut because that part was just good, but of course there is which made it taste that much better. The service was fast and they were friendly. I will take my family back when we vacation out that way again. I do recommend this place.
The best donuts that I have ever had! I had the Bourbon Caramel and it was delicious. A very busy store, but the line moves along nicely. A lot of people bring their dogs and that just makes the experience more enjoyable.
A must stop now when visiting Oceanside. I stopped by to try one and now I am hooked. All the flavors are great...Strawberry one my favorite. I made a special trip before going to the airport to get a 1/2 dozen to take home!! Great product and very friendly staff!!
These donuts are great. I will say if you’re looking for something more authentic or “hole in the wall” you won’t find them here. These are more on the gourmet side of the spectrum. Great tasting none the less. I’ve been about 3 times. And the French toast one is my favorite so far. I plan on trying all the flavors💪
Amazing creations here. Ive been telling all my friends they are a must go. Staff is very friendly. One of the donuts I wanted was all out and they had no problem going in the back for me to get a new tray. Completely professional, kind and answered all my questions with a genuine smile. Great establishment by far!!! I will be back and continue to brag about them to all that will listen :)
Definitely an experience. Variety of unique doughnuts, delicious and savory flavors. The dough is phenomenal, not dense but tasty and airy. A staple of Oceanside.
Doughnuts were super pretty. Great location. The taste was ok. Price wasnt terrible. The experience was terrible. They want you out as fast as possible without even a smile. Service 1 star. Food 3 star. I gave 2 star
Instead of trying to describe how amazing these donuts are, Ill just say that we drive from Valley Center to Vista, then bike 9 miles to get our donuts (Sandy Beach is my favorite!). Its worth it. Friendly service and nice location too!
Avery and Katie were friendly and patient with my order for my kids. I cant wait to come back
This is my first time having a layered donut and they did a good job. They didnt have coffee options this morning and the coffee was just okay. Im unsure if they have plates, knives and forks, but I would have preferred to eat with cutlery and I didnt see any on my quick glance around.The donuts did seen to err on the sweet side. Im not looking for a savory donut, but it doesnt need to scream sugar. Ill visit again and try a different selection to see if there is something that just nails it (but Ill probably bring my own coffee.)
Best donut so far. Tried the Reeses and it was so, so good. Flaky, crusty fried texture, yet surprisingly fluffy, soft, chewy melt in your mouth good. I thought the chocolate covered dripped peanut butter sauce would be killer sweet; but no, not at all, it was a perfect blend of magnificent taste. Thank you for the bites. The pic is the strawberry shortcake and glazed that were equally good!
One of the best doughnuts Ive had across the US. About a dozen varieties freshly made throughout the day, espresso and coffee. A perfect trifecta for me! Their doughnuts are considered layered, which I believe means layered sheets of dough. This cooks up like a croissant with a nice crusty exterior and airy interior. So good!!!
These are amazing! They are more like cronuts, so fresh and fluffy! The house blend coffee was pretty awesome, too. Highly recommend
Great donut and an instant part of downtowns charm for morning sugar-fare. Its a unique donut for sure. You have to give this place a go.
Stopped by to grab a latte with my nephew, and I fell for the maple bacon doughnut just the right amount of sweet and salty on an unconventional bread.
Big rave anticipation. Donuts are good, but its a matter of taste. Crispy Cremes are better for me. Variety is interesting, and price $2.50 each not horrible.
We had the key lime and turtle cheese cake. Amazing!! Wish I got more even though just had lunch. The donuts are yeast like with a flaky top. So soft and delicious. Get a dozen and eat them all ;).
Such amazing choices and great quality doughnuts!!!
Lovely, lovely place, with great employees. Cronut style donuts that are beautifully flakey and not overly sweet. Definitely will be my go to donut location
This place is amazing. I loved the blueberry doughnut and the Reeses doughnut. I dont know exactly how they make their doughnuts but its not like anything Ive had before and thats a good thing. The staff and owners are very caring. Who wouldnt want to support this place. If you are in Oceanside, go check them out.
Great layered doughnuts with a huge selection of flavors. Good prices for a gourmet treat. They also have Keto doughnuts which actually taste good. Fun vibe and conveniently located near the beach. Try one the next time you are in Oceanside. Choose the French Toast flavor if you are having trouble deciding. Delicious.
Ridiculously decadent. Bad news they run about $3 each. Good news is one is plenty.
After a walk at the beach went to enjoy a coffee. They did not disappoint had a hot vanilla latte it was really good.
Oh my heavens. Best doughnuts and new favorite thing in Oceanside! So many unique and delicious flavors and truly they are all delicious. Especially when fresh!
HIGH QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY!!Every time I come into the parlor its nothing short of a flavor overload everything is amazing I havent had a weird tasting one yet doubt I will.. my recommendation would to just get 1 of everything, DONT CHEAT URSELF TREAT URSELF🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dear sweet baby Jesus…. Hands down, THE. BEST. FRIKKIN. DONUT. ANYWHERE.I don’t really like donuts. Don’t get me wrong, I eat them, but I can pass them up easily. Not these, though. I rode my bike 3 miles one way every day of my vacation to eat them!!The dough is just something special and I’m not sure how to describe it, other than very very different than any other I’ve ever eaten. If I had to classify, they’d be in the old fashioned donut category, but that’s not really even fair. They are incredible!!I tried the avocado toast… divine!!I tried the bacon egg and cheese croissant… out of this world.I tried the raspberry filled donut holes… best.65 cents I’ve ever spent.Totally worth the wait. The line moves fast, so don’t get itchy and go elsewhere. Trust the process!!You’re welcome!
Awesome donuts and a great weekend treat for anyone! These donuts are little works of art. Pressed juice and coffee were great too! Our dog, Rosie, loved her doggie doughnut very much! Wish we had a Parlor Doughnut close to us in AZ!
The staff is always nice. The Donuts are sooo big and good. The Sandy Beach is a must have.
Crunchy outside ane fluffy middle. All the flavors were amazing.
Really nice location and very creative looking donuts. The doughnuts were good and if you love croissants then maybe you will love it. I was not expecting a croissant texture since I did not look at reviews before walking in so it was not my favorite. If Im ever in the mood for a croissant doughnut then I will definitely stop by here again.
A different twist on doughnuts done right. They are a lighter artisan style dough with savory flavors rather than the overly sweet doughnuts. Just keep in mind they are rich. Dont expect people to eat more than 1 in spite of them being so good!
OMG!! Priority stop during your next visit to the area. Quality coffee, excellent variety and the staff is so awesome.
Really tasty toppings and creams! Lose one star because the dough is cool but too dense so was gummy under done on 2 of 3 donuts.
Lovely atmosphere very specialized donuts. Had the fruit donuts should have gotten a chocolate!
Best doughnuts 🍩 in town. Staff is great 👍
Hands down the best donuts I’ve ever had.
These donuts are pretty much the most delectable, unhealthy, sweetness you can get in a donut! They make them fresh each day and well worth the wait. Have a great selection staff is very friendly, I love the patio seating!
Great customer service, beautiful faces in beautiful spaces. The doughnuts were made with so much love and care. They are pieces of art that you can enjoy in the artful area of the oceanside pier. Thank you Parlor Doughnuts team. You rock 💜
Unique and delicious. Cant wait to have again
They have gluten free & keto donuts! regular donuts are (relatively) cheap. i liked the cookies and cream, key lime was just ok
These are the best donuts I’ve ever had and we have a great experience every time we go there. The staff are so kind and the dog donuts are awesome for the dogs!
