Donut Shops Open While Farmers Markets and Mad Hatters Come to You This Week: Weekly Dish

***

Midtown Greenville’s new treat, Parlor Donuts, opened May 5.

Franchisees Van and Beverly Cline opened the doors after nearly two years of waiting. The Indiana-based chain has gained traction over the past five years since opening in 2019. Parlor has locations across the United States.

For those who really have a sweet tooth, the donut shop offers a wide variety of delights in the form of layered donuts – more similar to a pastry or cronut than a traditional yeast donut.

Some flavors include bourbon caramel, maple pecan, and lemonade.

Parlor Donuts is located at 1901 Laurens Road. It is open six days a week: Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Last year, The Press Room in downtown Greenville unveiled its pop-up après-ski lounge. This week the venue brought a bit of madness to Camperdown in Cheshire’s Hideaway.

Located on the second floor of the AC Hotel Greenville by Marriott, the press room is currently themed “Alice in Wonderland,” with cocktails and bites inspired by the classic novel. There are also tasty treats and cocktails like a teatime sandwich, tangy strawberry gazpacho and wings.

The newsroom is located at 315 S. Main St., below Juniper.
