Parlor Doughnuts Sets Up Shop in Pawleys Island

A Midwest-based donut and coffee shop, Parlor Doughnuts, is coming to Pawleys Island!

Unlike traditional chain coffee and donut shops in the area, Parlor Doughnuts offers fresh breakfast food including layered donuts, breakfast tacos and avocado toast.

Toni Ricker, Regional Manager of Parlor Doughnuts, said “There is nothing quite like us (around here). If you’re looking for something that is fresh, prepared on site and not shipped in a truck, we’re here.

In terms of the atmosphere, Ricker said “Nostalgia is the No. 1 thing, every location has an old time big floor radio somewhere. It’s very raw Americana … but there’s definitely this weird fine line between nostalgia and hipster coffee house.”

Ricker hopes that in addition to providing tasty treats, the space can also be used for individuals, students and business people to gather.

Parlor Doughnuts will be located off U.S. 17 and is expected to open their doors to customers in May.
