Parlor Doughnuts 📍St. Clair Shores
I did not realize Parlor Soughnuts was a franchise! If you had then, how did you like them? Overall, I was pleased with my order and will be back! I’m not a donut person, but I really enjoyed their donuts as they’re more of a cronut and less yeasty. The donuts are packed with unique flavors.
