Shin’s Donuts

I know — who rates a donut shop 5-​star? Im not saying every item is 5-​star but their glazed donuts are the bomb… especially if they are warm. Get the glazed donut holes and ask them to warm ‘em up The sausage rolls are great, too. Very friendly staff. I try to avoid this place though… you cant just eat one… dozen.

The donuts are delicious and the apple fritters are the bomb. They are also HUGE and eating one whole fritter in one sitting can be hard to do because of how sweet it is. Go early because those apple fritters sell out pretty fast!

How often do a person review a donut shop :). Only when it is great or when it is really bad. In my case I am reviewing because Unilocal figured out I was here twice in same week.
This is a nice small cozy shop. Just don’t get their coffee. It is very average.

Great sausage rolls! They had a sweet glaze on them. I wish the apple fritter was a bit more crispy but that’s a small complaint.

I’ve heard so many good things about this place, so I had to go and try them out. I ordered 2 sausage/​cheese kolaches and a ham/​cheese/​egg croissant. They threw in a couple of free donut holes in the bag, and the total came to about $ 6.
The kolaches were great, but I was not impressed with the croissant at all. Even though they had warmed it up in the microwave, it was still lukewarm. The egg was rubbery and bland, and the ham was still cold. They are probably known more for their donuts, so the next time I come here, I will probably just stick with the donuts.

Heard about this place for years and how great it was. Finally got to try it out this morning. The donut holes (that are raved about) where ok in my opinion. Deffinetly have had worse before but can’t say they where the best I’ve ever had. Now that being said … the pig in a blanket croissant was EXCELLENT. That was the best I’ve ever had. Good enough after scaring down 2 the parking lott, I had to go back in and get another. Also there cream filling for the eclairs n such was great as well. Tasted homemade and not like if came straight out of a can. Really enjoyed the choclate icing they used as well.
I’m glad I finally got to try Shins and if ever in the area again around breakfast you can be sure I’m gonna hit up those Pigs n a blanket croissants.

I love their donuts! Great selections and friendly staff.

The donuts and donut holes (you get a few free donut holes with every purchase) are delicious! Light and airy and glazed to perfection! Shin’s prices are super cheap and ladies always greeted me with a smile every time I walked in. I will visit Shin’s every time I’m in Irving!

Courteous staff, clean facility, decent pricing and FRESH. The glazed are on point — a must!!!

Great glazed donuts and glazed twists. However if you love chocolate donuts not the best place to go. They lightly cover donuts giving a small taste of chocolate vs a good dunk. Go for the glazed variety and donut holes (probably the best holes in town).

For the price, I’m not sure how this isn’t universally «as good as it gets!» Shin’s has built a local reputation for delicious and affordable donuts /​sausage rolls (aka kolaches). With your donut order, you also get some free rogue donut holes — a small but joyous bonus!
The donuts are always fresh, and shockingly aren’t even half bad on Day 2 (you know, after they sat out in the breakroom because everyone forgot to put them away).
And as Heli M so accurately notes, the second you walk through the front door, you’re hit with a heavenly smell. It’s too bad they get you in and out so efficiently — it’s the kind of smell that makes you want to loiter (and then stuff your face with donuts)!

This is the best donut shop I’ve been to! They’re quick and they have a huge selection. They also have breakfast sandwiches and those sausage rolls or whatever you call them! I’m so glad they’re only five minutes away from my house!

Excellent donuts with a myriad of choices that are warm and fresh. Also, they do sausage rolls that are absolutely amazing. They even have different sizes and offer a jalapeño version. Price is very very cheap and they actually talked me into a cheaper «twisted» chocolate long John versus the regular version which was roughly the same size.

It’s just okay. I came because of the high reviews. My expectations may’ve been high, but to me it was just a decent donut. The staff were friendly and I will say the donuts were very light, which was good, but honestly really nothing flavor wise that was different than your standard donut place. The sausage roll was what everyone said it was. Overall, I wouldn’t seek this place for destination eats, but if I drove past and wanted a donut, I may stop… maybe…

Per my previous reviews on sugary, iced, sprinkled and twisted goodness, I don’t want to elaborate too much other than on the basics you Dallas-​ites need to know! The service is friendly, courteous and attentive. The quality is more than fresh (daily)(the flavors are considerable and the assortment is plentiful. Shin’s is definitely the best donuts in the Irving/​Grapevine area.

Just stopped in here for the first time and was not disappointed! At 11:30am on a Sunday they still had a good selection of doughnuts and they even gave me some free doughnut holes! The staff was tremendously friendly and helpful and the doughnuts were melt in your mouth delicious with the perfect amount of frosting. Highly recommended and I definitely will be returning again :)

I love this place, the owner was very friendly. The donuts are soft and moist. Hahah~ I think I am becoming a donuts fan now.

Well I went here after reading the reviews. And the reviews did not disappoint! I ordered serveral things here and it was all fresh and the pig in the blankets they sell by the dozen and its a bang for the buck! With each other they suprise you by adding a few donut holes in your order, which is always a nice treat! They open bright and early and people are there ready to get these fresh donuts! I loved the variety they had and I will be returning here. My favorite thing was a huge Pig in the Blanket that had BACON in it!!! WHAT!!! Bacon! Yes and it was crispy! I almost feel over in the car. I didnt even leave the parking lot until it was all gone! I just sat there thinking to myself, who came up with this idea! It was to die for! Anyway, if you are in this area, please stop by and grab you some of the yumness!

The hotel food wasn’t decent today so I headed over here to get a breakfast sandwich… Really bad– the have a hash brown egg and cheese thing too– also bad. They really skip out on the protein which is super beneficial to have in the morning. Women are really friendly — but the food gets an F from me.

I like to treat myself and coworkers to donuts once in a while, and before my job switched offices, I would usually opt for Krispy Kreme. Now since we moved to the Irving area I decided to Unilocal a new donut shop and stumbled upon this nice little gem. It’s very close to our new office and the reviews had my drooling to try.
I got there a bit before seven and was greeted by two woman working the cash register. They were both very nice, but man; the oh so sweet smell of these donuts got me. I had to go with the original glazed and chocolate glazed. I got a dozen of each, and they were so fresh and still warm which was an A++ for me!
Before I even drove to the office, I had to eat the glazed donut my self since it just smelled so good and was fresh! It was so light and fluffy, very comparable to Krispy Kreme! Their dozen is only $ 7 which is also a better deal than Krispy Kreme, so my wallet was happy about that. The donuts were great, I tried the chocolate glazed back at the office and it did not disappoint either. They also threw in a few free donut holes, which were so good, who could resist bite sized donuts.
With all that being said, I’ve found my new donut place to stop by before work!
