Shipley Do-Nuts

Very, very average. I’ve been to a lot of Shipley’s and this one is probably the most sub-​par. I will drive further to get better donuts, kolaches, and service.

I come here for the sausage and cheese kolaches. Soooo good! Nine out of ten times they are hot and will melt in your mouth.

Our family loves ShipleyS, but the Friendswood location has the Worst Kolaches of any shipleyS! They are so thin, with little bread! The donuts are fine & the donut holes aren’t awful! We drive to the shipleyS in Dickinson to get good donuts & Kolaches!

I’ve only been here once and to me all Shipley’s taste the same. The reason why I’m giving this 5 stars is because i saw about 4 people coming from the gym in the same shopping strip to eat donuts. So if you were trying to work out but can’t resist a simple doughnut then it has to be good. Shipley’s –1 CrossFit — 0

Why 5 stars? Because these are the Earth’s best donuts.

I don’t miss a ton about living in Houston… but this is one that occasionally causes some angst. Every time I bite into a pedestrian donut (which are just about all donuts not made at Shipley’s) a tear comes to my eye. Sometimes it’s just a well-​up, sometimes they stream down my face.
My thought is: «why oh why did I leave you behind, my sweet, sweet love? Shipley’s, you never did anything wrong, and I just HAD to move to Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast. Sure there’s a lot of great things there, but nothing like your heavenly friend bread.»
This is a depressing review, but an important plea to others not to make the same mistake.
But for some actual substance — I am a plain glazed or donut holes kinda guy. I don’t know how the cream-​filled chocolates or the strawberry glazed are, but trust me on this — they just take away from the pure, deliciousness of the standard donut. Less is more. Don’t forget those three words: Less. Is. More.
