Definitely the real deal. The dough is light and the donuts have just enough sweetness without being overpowering. Staff is delightful.

This shop is super cute. Tons of interesting flavor combinations, and brightly decorated donuts. Everything we tried was delicious. So I feel like you really cant go wrong here.From the gentleman who boxed our order, to the woman who helped us pay, they were all a genuine delight.In addition, everyone making and handling food was wearing a mask. I appreciate that Donut Parlor goes above and beyond to protect the health and safety of their customers.I look forward to coming back again soon.Edit: masks are no longer required. I will be getting donuts elsewhere.

A donut shop that actually cares about making high quality donuts instead of using cheap frills. The staff is kind and helpful, the prices appropriate, and donuts delicious.

Amazing customer service and even better donuts! We came from Sedona AZ and popped in here before leaving town! Donuts melt in your mouth and are so fresh!! Great coffee and drinks to!

Great doughnuts and best apple fritters Ive ever had. Watch the hours of operation they are only open Thursday through Sunday but other than that I love their doughnuts and pastries. Great folks, highly recommend.

Get there early and try a blueberry or velvet crumb. Best donuts in the area!!

Best donuts in Tempe! Always fresh! Great variety, and amazing people! Had family in from out of town, when they asked where to get some breakfast, I sent them straight to Donut Parlor!

This is the best Donut Place in the East Valley! My 3 year old is a donut connoisseur. He knows specifically what he likes in a donut. A chocolate glazed donut is his favorite.I like Ube Donuts and 1. I don’t know many places that make them and 2. Not many make them deliciously.I’ve tried a few types and have ordered a few boxes from here and they are all top notch. Impressive display for your business clientele especially if our clientele is SE Asian or Latino. The donuts are fluffy and fresh. The service is excellent and caring.I’ll continue to be a lifelong customer.

The young man behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. As far as the donuts go, they are mediocre with a gourmet price.

This place was an accidental discovery. What an amazing surprise. They get it. The owner spent a lot of time perfecting the recipes and it shows. You cant go wrong with the maple bacon or the peanut butter jelly donuts. The maple bacon is a beautiful balance between sweet and savory. The PB&J donut is a great twist on a classic. The Nutella donut was my kids favorite. Try the Thai iced tea as well.

Visiting from Texas. This is the best donut shop that I’ve ever been to. Very friendly and great pricing. Will definitely return.

Quaint little, family owned shop - a true hidden gem IMO. A+ doughnuts.

Wow! What excellent service from this darling donut heaven! Donut Parlor is a must try. I recommend the blueberry, pumpkin, butterfly, lemon poppyseed, maple bar, sprinkle & original glaze donut. ALL of them were delicious & the service we received was incredible.Also, dont forget to grab a Donut Parlor sticker.See you tomorrow.

Every kind of donut you could possibly want!! We chose a chocolate dipped with lucky charms and a white dipped with iced animal crackers and sprinkles. They also have plain donuts for the not so adventurous. We even got 2 of those for free!

I enjoy the maple bacon donut, and my wife enjoys the lemon poppyseed cake donut. Their glazed donuts are nicely done, if you enjoy just a plain glazed yeast donut.If you’re into cereal-topped donuts, you’ll get your fix here, also.Been here four times so far: 100% consistency and zero disappointment.In my opinion, Donut Parlor is definitely the valley’s best donut.

They not only look amazing, but taste amazing! And their custom doughnut letters are always a show stopper! I love this place so much!

This place is legit! Great donuts! Such a variety and the prices are decent. Favorite is the maple bacon donut. Thai tea is glorious as well.

Hands down the Best Donut shop in the whole Valley, possibly the whole state. The selection of unique, custom donuts is well beyond what the national chains offer. Their Maple Bacon donuts are incredible and the cerealed donuts taste amazing. (Ill never look at Fruity Pepples the same way again.)The Pandemic has forced them to reduce their hours, but the donuts are worth the inconvenience. Please help them stay open and go grab a dozen donuts. You wont regret it.

Been coming here for years, but todays visit was different. Not sure if there was a change if ownership or management, but the donuts were very different. Mainly in regards to the quality of the donut. They were hard, more like a leftover circle-k donut than something worth driving for. Two of them were not even worth eating. We pass 15 circle-k location on the 30 minute drive to visit donut parlor, we should have just stopped at one and could have got the same quality. Compounding the quality issue was the pricing. I dont mind driving or spending $10 on a half dozen donuts as long as the quality it top notch. But at the check out there is a sign stating they just raised their prices, so combine a drop in quality with an increase in prices and its safe to assume we arent the only long time customers who probably wont come back. This place has been around for years, and HAD a good reputation. Bummer.

Tasty donuts. Fav was apple pie 😋

I love Donut Parlour. Hands down THE best maple bacon donuts. Do yourself a favor go there now!

Not great. Showed up at opening time. Looks like Soviet era Russia inside. Few selections, no coffee made, generally dingy, dirty, and in disrepair. Donuts were ok, not worth going out of your way for. You can do better.

Maple bacon rocked! Excited to try the blueberry, glazed, and oreo. The yeast donut is so light and fluffy.

We went here for the first time today and they were super friendly and welcoming. The donuts were absolutely delicious, will definitely be coming back many more times.

Always supporting local businesses. The owner left his full-time job in the corporate world to do something that he loves for the community. And if you get these Donuts and they last you a couple of days they will still taste as fresh as they were when you first got them.

Great service & Delicious Donuts

Excellent service and delicious donuts!

Delicious doughnuts!!! Pulled off the freeway to get cheap gas at Costco and noticed this place next door. Got the famous apple fritter and blueberry along with a few of their other tasty friends: lemon poppyseed, raised twist, and maple old fashioned. Everything was good, but the standouts for me were blueberry and lemon poppyseed for their moistness and distinct flavors—perfect for a hot day. Fruit donuts are where its at! Service was friendly, too! After using their restroom, we hopped into our car, our makeshift doughnut console conveniently within arms reach to help pass our nine-hour drive home.

By far the best donut shop in Tukee. Donuts taste good and the staff is always friendly

We love these donuts! They are delicious and come in so many interesting flavors Id never seen before. We live just around the corner and since discovering this little donut shop it has been so hard to stop ourselves from going in there every single week! Our favorites are the maple bacon, chocolate chip, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch donuts but all of them are just so delicious that we have to keep trying new flavors every time we go in. The workers are super friendly and sometimes throw in a free donut or some donut holes. The place is clean and stylish and honestly super adorable. You have to go in early though, because after they sell through all their donuts they close for the day. Overall highly recommended!

The donuts hear are excellent. Nice and moist with a tasteynexterior. So many excellent variations, I reply loved the bacon maple.

Amazing!!We tried this place for the 1st time 3 weeks ago and we already went back 3 times♥️ this is a family owned business and I must tell you every donut in every order was fresh and delicious!! I really hope everyone will come and support this mom and pop because we certainly will be going back and telling everyone they should get their tasty treats here. FYI the staff was wonderful as well.

LOVE!! They have the best selection and they’re soooo good!!!

Good donuts in the Tempe area. Will definitely be back and will probably buy the anti donut donut club shirt 😂

Bosa is usually my go to but I decided to try this place out and am happy I did! The donuts reminded me a little of Voodoo Donuts but far more reasonably priced. The staff is super friendly and genuinely wants you to enjoy your experience. Fruity pebbles donut is a must try! Support them :)

What an incredible difference from my first review! I woke up with a sweet tooth and I couldnt kick it so I had to try Donut Parlor again.So glad and so happy we chose to satisfy our craving here.Friendly service and great selection of coffee.We chose 6 gourmet donuts and ate all 6. Whoa.Cant wait to return!

Wow, such original, so donut! This place is a dream come true for donut lovers, and even a better for people who aren’t a fan of donuts in general.. wether it’s the BACON MAPLE, the FRUIT LOOPS topping, PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY, or even the ham & cheese croissant.. you won’t be disappointed in the selection, ordering a dozen seems to take forever because it’s hard to choose just twelve! And let’s not forget about the delicious house made milk teas and smoothies!

Amazing donuts. Please support your local businesses. Cant let places like this go under. You will come back often! If you havent tried yet please get in the car and go.... Now!

So today I decided to get 1 dozen donuts delivered to a friend for their birthday. And I have to say I was very disappointed in the presentation of the donuts. They looked horrible and rushed. I kinda felt bad giving it to a friend for their birthday. They definitely do not look like what they advertise. I definitely do not recommend sending them as gifts. :(

Love this donuts and the coffee ☕ is perfect I recommend 👌

Great service. Great gourmet donuts!

We had a blast picking out donuts with nuts, sprinkles, cereal, Nutella, chocolate chips, and more!

I got an iced coffee, a ham n cheese croissant, and tried a donut. All quite good. Inexpensive, Humble little place

By far the BEST donut weve had in AZ, and thats saying alot cause I love donuts and I love this place. If you got to drive a little extra distance to get here its well worth it! Original Flavorful Beautiful & TasteE...

This place is great! Ordered half a dozen donuts and ordered a couple of smoothies with boba. They were near closing, and apologized for not having all of their flavors. We were still able to grab the flavors we wanted. It all tasted pretty good.

Very friendly staff, gargantuan and fresh donuts. They also have thai tea and boba!

Amazing Thai tea, unbelievable donuts, humble ownership. These guys are the best at what they do and down to earth at the same time. 5 stars all around!

The donut letters for my daughters bday were perfect!!

The best! I use them for Donut Smashes and also just cuz. My daughters favourite treat 🍩

The lady here is super sweet and donuts were unique and awesome

My husband and I adore this place! I met one of the guys when they first opened, and went back many times. The donuts are always fresh and we love the variety and uniqueness! The staff has always been friendly to us and we appreciate them taking the time to build rapport with us. We live on the other side of town now, so we dont get to go very often anymore 🥺. But we go every time we get the chance or serious craving!

Donuts are amazing, and Im all about supporting small businesses. Way cheaper than Krispy Kreme and many flavors and options.

Delicious donuts, super friendly people

Totally awesome donuts and friendly staff. We had the lemon/poppy seed, blueberry crumble and the animal cookie donuts. All were awesome! Not only did the staff warmly welcome us, but theyre clearly excited about the Phoenix food scene and gave us a number of recommendations. Ill definitely be stopping by again on my next trip to Phoenix. Hell, Id go so far as to say my experience today made me want to return to Phoenix sooner!

Maple Bacon 🥓 delicious

Great place! Great music playing and the staff is very friendly. Donuts are not over sugared like most places. Very good.

AWESOME!!!! DUNKIN WHO??

Wow, really good donuts here. Very fresh. Most everything I got was even warm still. They have really cool combination donuts if you want something different then the normal glazed like a bacon donut and fruity pebbles donut. Prices are decent, but they do charge extra for gourmet donuts which I didnt realize until I was going to pay. All in all though it is definitely a good change from all the chain donut shops..

Bacon donut is so good

After trying many donut places in Tempe, this place is the best. The guy at the counter was super friendly and I felt like we were on the verge of becoming friends. I would go out of my way to this place rather than any other place. They got that authentic donut taste, ya know what I mean? This isnt your disgusting Walmart donuts. These are ACTUAL donuts. So try it out and know that they are the superior donut.

I must say, we LOVE Donut Parlor! Not only do they have the best donuts in Tempe, they have delicious smoothies, and coffees. We got the watermelon smoothie this morning, and it was so yummy!! #SupportLocal #DonutParlor

Sooooo good, wish I had taken a picture of my donuts cuz they look so yummy and they were. Downside is I gotta drive all the way to Tempe if I wanna stop by.

Counter help Iris was awesome great knowledge and friendly loved it

For the longest time this donut shop in Hawaii was the best donut ever..until now! This place is so good I asked why - I received a donut education.. awesome!

Ordered a donut cake and it was a hit!!! Service is also good here.

I am an Uber driver. I recommend this place. The customer service was off the charts.Ive never been in there getting breakfast for myself. This kind employee gave me a donut for my travels to and from the customer that delivered a few donuts today (July 9th).

I love this place! My fiancé and I go there all the time and the donuts are amazing!! I also really like their coffee!

This place is so yummy. You are hit with the smell of fresh donuts when you walk in. The donuts don’t disappoint. You can tell that the bakers were up at 3:00 am making them. The have all the classics, but also have some very elevated flavors. Do yourself a favor and check them out if you are in the neighborhood.

This place has delicious fluffy donuts! Honestly its worth ever penny. I personally enjoy their glazed donut holes. The place is small with a modern appearance. The selection of donuts available is some what extensive. Occasionally I like to order a cup of coffee with my donut holes it might not be a gourmet drink but its still relatively strong. If a cup of coffee is not for you they also have options that will satisfy your cravings. The owner and staff are amazing! They are not only friendly but they also make you feel welcome. If you are in the mood for donuts dont think twice and stop by its totally worth your time and money.

Excellent fresh donuts!! There is a large selection and every one that I have tried has been wonderful. The lemon poppy cake donuts are amazing. The iced coffee is very good - it comes sweetened. The staff is super friendly. If you love donuts this is your place!

This place is delicious and amazing every time I go! Its the perfect local donut shop and has great prices to match. Donuts are fresh-baked daily, so it smells amazing in there, and the staff is always very friendly and willing to help. With classic options and more creative donuts to choose from, theres something for everyone and you cant pick the wrong thing. I typically ask for suggestions from whoever is working that day for my half dozen, which totals to about $5.45. Highly recommend checking this place out for quality, delicious donuts!

We love this place its affordable has all kinds of donuts and they are delicious. My two year old asks for donuts every time we drive by. All the employees have been extremely friendly whenever we have gone here which has been multiple times in the last month.

Some of the best donuts weve had here in the Valley. Tried a blueberry cake, apple fritter, maple bacon, and some others. Blueberry had tons of great blueberry flavor and a slightly crisp outside. Apple fritter had tons of apple. Kids raved about the maple bacon. Plenty of pieces of bacon on top. All of them were just moist enough inside. Service couldnt have been friendlier on the first visit, a bit gruff on the second. Even though we were there on a busy day the first time, we had courteous service. On the second visit, our donuts were dried out and didnt seem very fresh, as if they had been made the day before. There are some crazy looking, cereal-topped donuts here if thats your thing.

The Donut Parlor was a really nice experience. The donuts were really tasty. Great customer service, the gentleman made good conversation with us, he gave us an extra donut and even topped off my coffee after I added cream. We will be back for a Donut Parlor fix in the future!

Super friendly staff and AMAZING quality product!

Really great service. Love the people. The donuts were ok. Clearly a place to go and be appreciated as a customer though.

Pretty much the best donuts in AZ!! The staff is great too - always. We stop by all the time. Definitely worth to try them if you haven’t.

Easily my familys favorite donut spot in the valley. Chill, no frills place with super high quality donuts and tons of flavors to pick from. I always recommend this place to friends.

Always have delicious fresh made from scratch cake and potato style Donuts. Staff is very friendly and quick service. Very convenient location directly across the street from Costco. You cant go wrong if you have a craving for donuts to stop here.

I stopped by today picking up an order for someone else. It didnt realize it was national donut day! Anyway, there was a super nice guy behind the counter that gave me a free glazed donut for national donut day and OMG!! The best glazed donut Ive ever had!! What a great way to get new customers, it worked for me, anytime I want donuts, Ill be coming back!! Thanks so much for your hospitality and amazing donut!!

Donuts were really good! And the service was phenomenal, super friendly staff. Made my day! Thank you, will definitely be back

Amazing is the first word that comes to mind when describing The Donut Parlor! The blueberry cake donut with vanilla icing and crumbles is so moist and flavorful. I try to stop in only once a week. Great variety and friendly staff with a wonderful in store owner.

Best donuts not near hurts. Used to go to asu now live near the freeway and hands down best donuts Ive had since I went to hurts donuts. Donut parlor is on point with variety and flavor

Such a nice little gem of a place in Tempe. The donuts are always fresh, the prices are great, and its such a nice small business to support.

Their donuts are AMAZING!!! The guy there was super nice as well

Chocolate donuts (yellow cake donut) made with sparingly small amount of cocoa powder had spikes of yellow cake peaking through the chocolate cake donut?? This is not a true chocolate donut. Chocolate donuts were hard, crispy on the bottom with hot icing poured over. (GMO chocolate syrup or cocoa powder flavored).The strawberry coconut were stale, hard with hard icing applied with sparse coconut bits. The bottom was over fried hard like bagel toast.Not true donut makers.Fyi: chocolate donuts are made with real chocolate bakers bar.Food Network could give you some clues!

Best donuts in Arizona- maybe even the whole country! Never had better donuts in my life. Be warned, you will become addicted! Family owned and operated. Support these local Entrepreneurs, and enjoy every bite!

Great donuts and unique flavors. Jen was there to help us and was so sweet. It was my little ones birthday and she made it so special. We will definitely be back!

My 1st time here.. absolutely the best donuts around! I used to think Bosa was the best, but Donut Parlor is #1!!!

Really good, fresh ingredients. Creative options! Left the donut out on the counter all day and it was still fresh later that evening! Owner is really nice and sweet too! Highly recommend!

Went for the first time and I LOVE this place! Amazing selection of donuts and staff was super friendly. Also very reasonable prices!

When you walk in this place just smells amazing and all the donuts look so good... its hard to choose which one you would want!! the girls working today are so sweet and hardworking...it was busy and they were running around doing their best to make everybody happy!!

Average donuts. Lots of other spots that I would prefer to get donuts at in the valley, with better selection and presentation. Store is older/cheaper looking. Donuts do not present the best as compared to many others in the valley.

Amazing donuts! Not greasy. Great flavor. We loved this place. Now I know why they are so popular!

Family owned donut shop with fancy and creative donuts. So many selections but red velvet is probably the most popular. Imagine your favorite childhood cereal meets donuts as a sample or how about an oreo glazed cake donut. Stop by if youre in the area and youll see what Im talking about!

Wow! Great place, picked up several dozen for work, nothing institutional about their donuts, fritters, or fancies. Fresh, delicious, light and airy, this will become a regular stop for me. Not your traditional Mom and Pop local store, Its a family store! Talk to them when youre there you will see their dedication to their new store and soon to be huge group of new friends.

Best donuts Ive had in years. Polite and knowledgeable group of young people.

I love this place. Michelle is so warm and welcoming. The donuts are always fresh!

Fantastic donuts! Great variety and friendly staff. They do sell out often but will make a fresh batch quickly. Always check with them since they come out with new donuts. The new Ube donut is something you will want to try.

Donut Parlor is my go to for donuts! The donuts are big and so so tasty. My colleagues always like it when I bring these in. Best donuts around the Ahwatukee area! The staff is always so friendly too :)
