Shipley DO-Nut Shops

Worse services ever… I ordered a dozen cinnamon sugar donut. When I got to school and I opened it, they have me 4 cinnamon sugar, and the rest were icing with cinnamon. The next morning I brought that box with me to the store and tell them. They said it was cinnamon sugar, cuz it melted so it looked like that… Seriously??? I told them look at the icing on the top of the donut. Then they said u should have called me yesterday… Lol… Speechless… Never come back here again. EVER…

My FAVORITE donut place in a College Station. The donuts are so warm and soft, I haven’t found another donut shop that could replicate the texture of Shipley’s. My favorites are the classic glaze. The only downside is that the donuts only seem to taste good warm, they’re not very good for saving til the next day.

Shipleys is da bomb. Everyone knows that but I have to give them serious props for keeping up with customers demands and serving Kolaches later into the day. Used to they would be out by 1030 or 11 but now if you want to wait 30 mins in the drive through you can get them well after noon! Well done shipleys. Well done. I know they can’t control people taking forever to place an order but there is usually always a wait. No biggie!

I came in here at 10 and they were already out of almost everything. I asked them if they were going to make more, and the girl said no. Wasted my time driving all the way over there for nothing.

Delicious donuts, and a friendly welcoming face equals a repeat customer. Highly recommended.

Yummy donuts and donut holes. I grew up in Amish country in PA and thought I knew which donuts were the best. I don’t know if it’s the humidity, the altitude, etc. but these donuts are lighter and fluffier than PA donuts and are heavenly. They are cheap but good, and very fast.

Shipley’s is the best place to find delicious, cheap, melt in your mouth pastries. They have a fast drive through, and are very inexpensive. If you have never had a Kolache they are a must try. I promise they will not disappoint.

Dear Shipleys,
Short note to staff cause I have warm glaze on my other hand, kudos to the good donuts.

Just love to eat my Shipley DO-​Nut in the morning. Been doing it since 1985…

Yes, as all previous reviewers have noted these are really extremely super good and I don’t know why. :)

A good glazed doughnut is a beautiful thing. And Shipley has that beautiful thing nailed down. While I am a huge fan of the ethereal sugar-​glazed meltaway that is a warm Krispy Kreme, I can absolutely appreciate the Shipley’s doughnut, which is substantial and heavy in the mouth and demands to be consumed with black coffee. Chew me, you fool!
Sadly, not as sold on their kolaches. We tried them out and decided to stick with Rolf’s.

Way out west in Southern California, it’s hard to find great doughnuts though I would be eager to wager that it would be harder to find better doughnuts than Shipley’s ANYWHERE!
These do-​nuts are grenade sized puffs of sugary perfection. whether they are pumped full of custard or cream or dipped in chocolate, there are few better ways to start your day than with a dozen or so of these bad boys.
The buttermilk cake do-​nuts and devil food cake do-​nuts are my favorites and there have been days I’ve woken up back home in LA, in a sweat, visions of Shipley’s do-​nuts dancing around my head.
Krispy Kreme, Dunkin, Winchels — these places do not come close to Shipley’s.

This place has nothing but donuts. No bagels. No muffins. Just donuts. But they do them well, and they are very cheap with fast service. It is just a takeout place.

There’s a few different styles of donuts — in Texas, people are mostly famililar with the Krispy Kreme/​Shipley debate. To me, there’s no debate b/​c they’re totally different. Krispy Kreme is like a fancy treat — perfectly shaped, perfectly iced, etc. But Shipley’s? I forget the amazingness in their soft simple glazed donuts (as long as they’re warm when eaten) — it tastes like home.
But the best? THEIR KOLACHES. Maybe I don’t have the sophisticated palate needed for «real» kolaches (like from Czech towns and all), but hands DOWN these beat out Kolache Rolf’s, Lone Star Kolaches here in Austin — just about anywhere else I’ve tried. I think it’s their dough that’s sweet-​ish-​but-​not-​really (like unsweetened donut dough?) and I’m a fan of their breakfast sausage/​hot-​dog inside; the pefectly melted cheese; and the whole-​sliced jalapenos are awesome. Jeez, Austin needs to get some Shipley’s here, Georgetown is way too far.
