“I got a sausage egg and cheese croissant with avacado and it was probably the BEST I have had in my life! I got a choco and a glazed donut as well. Pretty good but nothing special. The lady working was very nice and engaged in convo. I’ll be back!“

“I’m from SC. I wanted to surf fish while here and brought a rod/reel with me on the plane. I’m here for 5 days total. On day 1 I wanted to try a local doughnut. I saw they had gluten free. I don’t need it but my kids do. I bought some from a dude in a flannel shirt. I thought it weird, but it’s California so whatever. I got them back to the place we were staying and we all sampled about six different doughnuts. 🤯 OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I’m a Krispy Kreme lifer but DANG THESE ARE GOOD. Today I went back and bought 6 more. These are expensive so there went my fishing budget but it’s worth it because my kids and enlaws loved it. My father enlaw said the maple bacon should be illegal it’s so good. Listen there are a lot of choices here but if you are going to try just 1 or several this should be your first stop and if like me it will be the only one you need. I’m not big on California, sorry, but the only thing better than the weather and scenery are these incredible doughnuts. 🤯“

“Great customer service! Great location! Yummy donuts!“

What truly makes this place exceptional, however, is the ownership. The owners are consistently kind, polite, and genuinely dedicated to their customers. They go above and beyond to ensure that everything is fresh, perfectly prepared, and presented with care. You can tell they take great pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail.
Every visit has been a fantastic experience, and the quality never disappoints. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or bringing something special home, you can always count on top-tier products and outstanding service.
This bakery has easily become my number one go-to spot, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious donuts and a truly welcoming experience. It’s an absolute must-try.“

“Stopped in to this shop and everything was delicious! Great variety of donuts, burritos were delicious! Staff was kind and helpful. 5 Stars definitely recommend this place.“

“I don't know if it is just me, but the donuts could have been a little more moist throughout. I don't know if that's freshness (I saw they had some that were seemingly made looking like they were taken off the cooking oven) or what should be done to make it so, but that was my experience.“

“It’s rare to find a place that makes good yeast and cake donuts, but they were both delicious here. I knew when I picked up the glazed donut—lighter than I expected, and it did not disappoint! The orange glazed cake donut was bright and citrusy, and the blueberry was tender and flavorful. We also ordered a burrito and the Denver omelet. Burrito was quite large, although the sausage was breakfast links, not crumbled.“

“Workers (owners?) are so sweet and i’ve never had any issues with anything i’ve gotten here. Baked goods always taste good and the fresh orange juice is soooo good definitely a great local place especially after the bakery by the winery and deli closed a while back“

“I went in this morning and ordered the signature burrito with no ham, cashier was friendly. It was ready quickly and tasted fresh and delicious with a side of green salsa I will return here soon, for another breakfast burrito. They have a very wide selection of donuts and drinks to choose from.“

“Absolutely love Parlor Doughnuts! Everything tastes incredibly fresh, like it’s truly made daily. The icing is perfect—not overly sweet, just the right balance. You can tell a lot of care goes into every bite. On top of that, the people there are always so friendly and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot for amazing doughnuts!
