Shipley Donuts Loop Three Thirty Seven

I LOVE Shipley Donuts and have been dozens of them in Houston and other places around Texas. And today I experienced the world’s worst Shipley Donuts in New Braunfels, Texas!!!
When I walked in nothing looked like any of the other Shipley locations, that’s when I should have turned around and walked out. Unfortunately, my wife was all about getting some «Shipley» donuts and I had my heart set on Sausage, Cheese, and Jalapeño Kolache. I ordered my kolache and started to scan the donut rack and the donuts looked like they’d been there since yesterday. Nonetheless, I stood fast on my quest and ordered a sugar glazed and cream filled along with a bag of donut holes (they are great while driving, single bite at a time). And two coffees to go.
The kolache was priced about $ 0.30 less than those in Houston, I thought maybe a small town has lower prices. When I opened the bag I understood; the kolache was a miniature compared to all the Houston Shipley Donuts. And the dough was nothing like what I’m use to at other Shipley Donuts. It was however, chocked full on jalapeño peppers. The sugar donut was regular size, but the cream filled was size of a small biscuit.
Coffee, oh well it was warm and fairly decent, probably the best item they served.
This location has to be a franchise, certainly not a company store. Lawrence Shipley would roll-​over in his grave if he was to see this disgrace to his name.

Wow. Much cleaner and more efficient help then other Shipleys.
Donuts served with a smile.
The butterfly roll, donuts and Kolaches were perfect.
And they put each donut in a separate bag so there is now cross contamination.
Every time we come to Bee Branfels we will visit.

Got to make the donuts, donuts”. Even though Shipley’s is a chain, you can count on consistent donut. They make all type of glazed iced donuts. In addition to kolaches (used interchangeably in new braunfels can mean anything from a pastry to a sausage baked inside dough) with sausage, sausage and cheese or ham and cheese… All are very good. If you are a cake loving donut fiend like me, you won’t find much of a cake selection aside from plain and chocolate ice.

Shipley’s, you little rascal, you! Why do you have to be so close to my Dad’s house!?!
We’ve been coming to this location ever since they opened way back when and they have never failed at delivering quality donuts of shame. We all love them! Go early in the morning, the donuts are HOT to trot (I’ve gone late AM and they were still hot). The kolaches are pretty addicting, be careful!
My Father has sent me on several mission impossible-​like runs to fetch his coffee and chocolate donuts with pecans, his coffee preference is quite embarrassing. I’ve begged him not to ask for coffee but he claims it’s the best in New Braunfels (I think he’s definitely onto something). I pull up to the window, place my order, hand them my Dad’s Shipley’s coffee mug and proceed to say, «5 creams and 8 sugars.» I wait for the response of employees and it’s different every time, «Do you want coffee with that», «have you heard of diabetes», and my favorite «don’t blame your order on your Father.» I wear hoodies and big shades now LOL
Customer service is fast paced and pleasant.
Check them out, the donuts are yummy and prices are reasonable.

This place had roaches crawling in the display case! Disgusting.

I love this place! The donuts are by far some of the best I’ve had! The kolaches definitely aren’t bad either!

My husband and I LOVE Shipleys! This review gets one star though bc of the way we were treated in the drive through. The woman was rude to us, snapped at us when we asked if we could get ½ a dozen donut holes, and when she didn’t add coffee to our order she argued that we had never ordered it. The donuts were still great but the experience was NOT this time.

I’ve weighed the same weight since I was in high school. It might be genetics that keeps me skinny or it might be all the DAYUM cigarettes I smoke. LOL! But whatever it is I’m not complaining b/​c it allows me to eat DONUTS! And I love love love me some SHIPLEYS!
I like to hit drive thru here as often as I can and get donut holes and coffee to start my day. Often times I go ahead and get a dozen glazed to take home at night for an after dinner donut and homebrew beer. LOL! Seriously though I love to kick back, eat a glazed donut, drink a beer and watch some tv.
Shipley’s donuts are the best! :)

okay… coffee, cheap taste. they used pod filter, not fresh ground coffee — GASP
donuts and kolache pretty good

I’ve never actually tried their donuts, but they’ve got great kolaches! In fact, we loved them so much that we get them shipped from New Braunfels every few months. Our favorites are the jalapeño & ham. I must add that they’re not as good as when they’re consumed fresh.
The lady at the counter when we went was so friendly, we ended up chatting for 15 minutes about things to do/​see in the area. She had some great recommendations for quaint little towns & hidden gems nearby that are, for the most part, not popular amongst tourists but great to visit.
