Parsons Bakery

Delicious! Cookies, Cakes and pies oh my! I am in Heaven. A must try!!!

By far the best bakery I have ever eaten at. Ever. Their donuts are all good, but especially their cake donuts. Their sticky rolls… I nearly died of happy. They also have delicious eclairs, pretzel buns, scones, cinnamon rolls, cookies, orange rolls, mint brownies. It’s all amazing, very decently priced, and the staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful. They also give you a 5% discount if you pay with cash. My husband and I live down south, and we make up excuses to drive up to Bountiful just so we can go here.

This bakery has been a Bountiful staple for as long as I can remember. They still make delicious sweet treats. My mother got a delicious assortment of sweets when I came home to visit. My favorite was the cinnamon roll, but take your pick because they’re all delicious.

One of my favorite donut shops in utah. Their chocolate cake donuts are melt in your mouth soft, yet they have this crunchy outer shell that differs it from other donuts. My mouth waters just thinking about it. The staff is always so friendly and their amazing taste is ALWAYS consistent.

7:30 in the morning on a Friday and doughnuts were not out in the cases so the sales girls essentially had to tell every customer what was available. When my doughnuts were bagged, they were still so fresh that the frosting was gooey and the grease was dripping from the bottom. Taste was not much better than the doughnuts at Smith’s. I probably wouldn’t return.

My mom brought home two boxes of goodies from Parsons and they were all freaking amazing! The hubs and I can’t wait to go back and get more! So good!

Went here before my doctor’s appointment and was expecting to just get a cookie. I ended getting the sandwich combo. The sandwich was chicken salad, came with a big gulp, and a cookie. The chicken salad had great taste and just the right amount of pickles inside, the cookie was very flavorful and sweet. I will be definitely stopping by every time in bountiful.

Crappy customer service. Been here a few times and today will be my last. Sick of waiting to be greeted & given dirty looks. They also have misleading prices for pre-​orders. I already have another bakery in mind! Peace out Parson’s.

Review is for cookies, didn’t try other items.
The pumpkin chocolate chip cookie was phenomenal! Moist, delicious, perfect!
The regular chocolate chip cookie was disappointing. It was flat and crispy. Not how I like my cookies.
The sugar cookie and chocolate on chocolate were middle of the road.
4 stars for the variety and friendly staff. Would recommend people give this place a try!

These doughnuts are AMAZING! So soft, I had a chocolate doughnut with chocolate and maple swirl frosting and it was so moist and fresh. My husband had the chocolate with chocolate frosting that was equally delicious. I will most definitely be back! We got there right at 7am when they were putting out the fresh goods and I couldn’t be more happy!

What used to be a hidden gem is now the worst bakery around. An 8in single layer birthday cake cost almost $ 20 but tasted like it came from a box. It was dry, grainy and overall disgusting. The frosting wasn’t much better. Nasty taste, poor quality, waste of time. You are better off going to Mrs. Backers Bakery in SLC. They cost more, but you won’t be disappointed on your birthday like I was.

Once upon a time I had a cookie bake-​off for my birthday. We bought chocolate chip cookies from all the best bakeries ranging from B-​town to Downtown SLC, cut them into pieces, and then performed a single blind taste test with 5 party participants. The results: Parson’s Bakery makes the BEST chocolate chip cookies. It’s now been scientifically proven. Their donuts are also amazing. The cake ones pretty much melt in your mouth. Back in the good ‘olé high school days I used to sneak out of class to go buy those delicious snackies. And I still have many fond memories from all the way back in the 5 Points mall days when I would go get dinosaur sugar cookies, which they still make, and they’re still my most favorite sugar cookies. Ever.
I had to cut one star, though, because I had them decorate a cake for my mother’s birthday which falls at the end of October, and they put a giant witch on it. Not sure if a witch is the best topping for a «happy birthday Mom» cake. Thank goodness my mum has a sense of humor!

One word, alligator. This has been my favorite donut for 20+ yrs. After living in UT, PA, DE, AZ and OH it still reigns. Nothing better than the cherry buttercream frosting.

How have I neglected reviewing my favorite donut spot in Bountiful?
I have been a happy customer since their days in Five Points mall. We’re talking the eighties, people! My go-​to donut is the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and those teeny rainbow dot sprinkles. One bite of the crispy sweetness and I’m in pastry heaven! The chocolate croissant is also something to behold, the perfect blend of semi-​sweet chocolate and flaky, buttery layers.
They fall a tiny bit short when it comes to customer service, but most employees are pretty helpful. This is the primary reason for the 4 star review.
Be warned, their coffee is ultra-​nasty. I’m guessing it’s something to do with the employees coming from the dominant culture in the area? You need to drink coffee to know coffee, ya know?
Overall, this is the first place I come to for donuts in Bountiful. Nothing else really compares!
Support local!

This was a great place to come and have a little sweet treat. I like that they had a good selection of donuts as well as other desserts. I myself try to donut and a cookie and both were fantastic!
The staff was extremely friendly and explain some of the differences in the desserts.
I would highly recommend if you have a hankering for dessert.

Stopped by this afternoon and was delighted to see that they still had a wonderful selection of yummy treats. The hardest part is figuring out what you want and how many calories your hips can take. I decided on the yummy german chocolate cookie, chocolate/​maple glazed cake donut and frosted raisin cookie. The best of the lot is hands down — the german chocolate cookie. I discovered in a different display case — as assortment of the largest eclairs I’ve ever seen. Planning a future visit to tackle those next.

I just tried Parson’s lemon cookies for the first time. Oh great. I might as well just get a job there since I am in there so much. I’d not tried them before and they’re amazing.

It baffles me why there are not more reviews for this Bountiful Institution! Come on, people!
Parson’s — what is not to LOVE about everything in this bakery?! I have never had a better brownie — just chocolate, no nuts, no mint — in my life. And, I’ve had great brownies. Parson’s are just simply my favorite.
I love the buttery goodness of their buttercream frosting.
I also love their cookies (German Chocolate = heaven) and they have great donuts (Chocolate and Maple swirl = mmmmmmm).
I’m so glad that I can only visit this bakery. If I lived nearby, I would be 500 lbs. i look forward to every trip to Utah and have had friends bring me brownies when they visit me. Oh – YUM.

Good treats. The donuts are very good. Once I got there a little after opening in the morning and I had a HOT maple donut! It was one of the best donuts of my life.
The brownies are simple, not too rich, but still tasty.
Tasty all around.

Sorry to admit it, but my friend Jordan, in a low-​blood sugar frenzy went on a 6pm donut run to Parsons today.
What to expect: Massive cinnamon roll covered in chocolate.
It’s 10:40, and I’m still not better yet. Very yummy, very liable.
