Shipley DO-Nut Shops

There really is no substitute for Shipley. Currently living on the East Coast, Dunkin’ Donuts are a dime a dozen and they serve their purpose but don’t really offer much to excited about. Krispy Kreme offers tasty goodness — especially when you get the donuts hot off the conveyor belt — but they’re hard to come by and leave you in a sugar coma each time. Shipley, however, offers tastiness, a variety of donuts, solid kolaches, and all without leaving you too weighed down or overly sugared up.
The drive thru at this location is a popular choice but the staff inside are also awesome, hardworking, efficient, and friendly. Also, I like to go in and eyeball what I’m considering buying so I don’t parttake of the drive thru to be able to comment on its efficiency.
This location is older and not modern/​slick but that doesn’t faze me. All I know is whenever I’m back down in East Houston, I look forward to hitting up this Shipley Do-​Nut!

The best donuts in Houston. I loved the lemon filled and the chocolate glazed. Perfection.

Seriously hoping they aren’t changing the ingredients and it was just a bad batch today. First time I’ve ever experienced a change like this at any Shipley’s.

Came yesterday Saturday Sep. 20, 2014. Very busy but they are quick. Nice staff. Very nice lady attended us. Great personality. Donuts were WARM… ah so amazing love them!!!

This Shipley Do-​nut has been here as long as I can remember, but you really can’t question why because Donut’s are awesome… and the east side of Houston has agreed!
These little (evil) desserts are the best when fresh. When they are fresh, the dough is hot and the glaze is just melty. It’s almost as if the donut has powers to make you smile and grab another.
The question now is, which one is better? Dunkin? Krispy? Mom and Pop shops? Personally, I find them all good. Dunkin Donuts is good for their cake like texture, atmosphere, and seasonal flavors (like red velvet with cream cheese glaze). Krispy is good for their warm melt-​in-​your-​mouth donut. Those mom and pop shops are good just because each place makes it differently.

great donuts at an even better price! fresh even in the evening unlike dunkin donuts.

So good you’ll realize Krispy Kreme is feeding you dog crap.
