I lived in Texas for about 8 years so I basically had Shipley's all the time! While visiting the…read moreEast Coast we found a location that was close to where we were visiting and decided to stop by and grab a kolache and a glazed donut because we love them and have missed them! This location looked to be fairly new. It was clean, we visited very early in the morning and we were kind of disappointed in the service part of it. The employees were not as friendly and it felt like they were just there to socialize instead of run the business. We ordered 2 jalapeno and cheese kolaches and 2 glazed donuts. Every Shipley's I've visited always gave you hot kolaches and warm glazed donuts that literally melt in your mouth. At this location, this was not the case. The kolache was barely warm which made it nearly impossible to eat since the cheese was not melty and the sausage was cold inside. The glazed donut was not fresh at all. It seemed like it was sitting there for a while, but Shipley's is known for their warm glazed donuts. This experience definitely was NOT the one we expected and next time we will skip visiting here in other states because we know the quality will not be the same as the original!

The Glazed Cider Donut, Brown Sugar Bourbon Donut, Mocha, and Matcha Latte Donut are my favorite!…read moreThere's a galore of cake and yeast donuts with over 20+ classic and seasonal flavors. Best of all, there are mini donuts that are 1/2 of the size of the regular donuts (they have both!). The Classic flavors, mostly cake donuts are in the back while the seasonal yeast donuts and specialty pastries (croissant donut hybrids) are in the display case in the front. The issue is that while the donuts in the front are neatly labeled, the labels are teeny-tiny for the donuts in the back and impossible to read. I wish the labels were larger and there was a large menu for the full list of donuts (instead of the small chalkboard for just seasonal donuts). The super fluffy and moist cake Cider Cake Glazed hit the spot! Even though I prefer warm cider cake donuts, I didn't mind that it was room temperature. I couldn't resist the temptation to save the donut for the kids and noshed on the full donut not even leaving a crumb to spare! Nom nom nom. The seasonal (Sept & March) Brown Sugar Bourbon donut was fun to try. It was topped with delicious maple cinnamon frosting with a custard filling. While I couldn't taste the Bourbon flavor, the donut was tasty. The Mocha Donut filled with Mocha buttercream hit the spot! The seasonal (March) Matcha Latte cake Donut was divine! The seasonal (Oct) Caramel Apple Crumble Donut hit the spot with a maple salted caramel frosting and apple pie filling. I wasn't a fan of the Salted Caramel Cider or the Chocolate Cake donuts. They were a bit dry and after a couple of bites, I threw in the towel on both donuts. I also didn't like the Hazelnut cream donut (not a Nutella or ganache frosting that I expected). The Matcha donut filled with strawberry cream (April special) wasn't that good, the cream was way too sweet. Will come back for the Glazed Cider and seasonal donuts!

This is a new startup business with 2 partners, Crystal and Rick. Crystal prepares all of the…read moredesserts. Rick helps and does graphic arts. You'll see some of his work around the business. They have a unique approach to desserts. Crystal can custom make a dessert for you while you wait. You start with a base (donut, cake shell, pie crust, or rice crispy treat). You add icing, pudding, toppings, or fruit to the base. The more you add, the more it costs. They can cater for events. After 3 visits, we tried 6 items. 1) Custom dessert    Miniature cinnamon rolls, cream cheese icing, chocolate pudding, strawberries, and bananas. The cinnamon rolls are not listed as a base, but Crystal suggested using it. They were soft, moist, and slightly sweet with just enough cinnamon flavor. Overall, the flavors were well-balanced and mild. It was good. Some experimenting is needed to get an ideal dessert. The choices are numerous. Sweetness can be adjusted in some components. I can appreciate that! 2) Banana muffin with toppings of vanilla icing, crushed vanilla wafer, and a vanilla wafer. The muffin was soft, moist, and slightly sweet with a good banana flavor. The icing had a light vanilla flavor with a modest sweetness. The wafers were typical. I'm not a fan of a lot of icing, but this vanilla icing was very good. This was one of the best tasting in this group! 3) Banana pudding pie    It had an individual-sized pie crust filled with banana custard. The custard had a prominent banana flavor with the right amount of sweetness. It was smooth with a nice richness and thickness. This was simple, but very good! 4 & 5) Blueberry muffin and Chocolate muffin. They were both soft, moist, and slightly sweet. The flavors were mild. There were chocolate chips in one and real blueberries in the other. The blueberries were slightly sweet, which is a nice detail that some bakers don't do. Everything was good tasting. 6) Rice Crispy treats    There were 4 treats in a pack. They had different flavors. One was mango flavored with powdered sugar on top. That one was the best and most interesting in taste. The other 3 used regular rice crispies with marshmallows. One had chocolate syrup soaked into it. It was okay and rather simple. One had strawberry icing with candy hearts. It was sweet because of the hearts. The rest of the flavors were mild. One had strawberry icing drizzled on it. Simple and okay tasting. The service was friendly, informative, and helpful. Crystal is one of the nicest people I have met. She tries to tailor desserts to your liking. She'll listen to suggestions. The dining areas and restrooms were very clean. They are located in The Spot Food Hall at Restaurant Row Apollo shopping center which is near the Branch Avenue Metro subway on the Green line. Parking is plentiful and free. This is a local small business that appreciates your support! Give them a visit when you're in the area.

I did reach out to the staff, and they stated that they're more of a pop-up, so you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for their posted next date(s) of appearances.

The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.

We were all intrigued by the very beautifully decorated donuts and the rather large size! He purchased a lovely variety; red velvet, chocolate glazed, honey dip, sugar, and some other rather intricate flavors. I kept it cute and simple and decided on the chocolate glazed. Absolutely delicious! It was fresh, light, and the glaze was top notch. They seem like a cake donut, but not as heavy. They also make yeast donuts. They sell mini donuts, scones, pastries, varieties of coffee/tea, smoothies, sandwiches and other cafe delights. This is a real hit and since my job is close, I'm sure we'll be frequenting it regularly. It would've been nice if I had taken a few pictures of the donuts, but when donuts are involved, it's every woman for herself! Ha!
