It would be nice if your employees could understand simple words like "chocolate donut" and not just put whatever donuts they want in your bag and make you have to point with your finger across the the counter 5 times almost touching the chocolate donut row to finally get what you want. So I got to pay for donuts I didn't want and it took a frustrating amount of time to finally get the chocolate donut my wife wanted. Also if you want donut holes you had better arrive before 10:30, at least they did not screw up the chocolate milk. read more

This was yet another place our shuttle driver recommended. We went yesterday around 4-4:30 (the posted hours said they close at 6) but they were already closed. We were disappointed, but made sure that we went even earlier today. I had a glazed donut and it was really good. It was cake like but didn't feel heavy. I don't remember a lot about the interior because I was so focused on the donuts, but I would definitely recommend this for great donuts. We ordered a dozen donuts but by the time I remembered to take a picture, some had been eaten. read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - Donuts Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Don't come here if you're looking for the traditional Shipley donut taste. Not sure what they are doing to the ingredients. But everything is different. The Do-Nuts do not have the same consistency. The donut holes were turds in icing. The kolaches were super bready and the hot dog was a bad spice to it. Most of the donuts we had were a bit over cooked and dry. And we were there at 530am. Bummer all around. read more

Great service and delicious donuts. We were so excited about the donuts we ordered and how delicious they were that I forgot to take pictures. I did take pictures of their donut holes which were soft and fluffy on the inside just like their donuts. These were gifted to us when we mentioned it was our first time trying their donuts because we were visiting the area from Florida. If your in the area check them out and enjoy some yummy donuts. read more

Food was delish! Hot and fresh ! Service was even better . Friendly staff, nice and great portion for my money.

By far THE FRIENDLIEST business in Galveston and it is so very much appreciated. Being met with friendly smiles in the morning makes a huge difference to me where, and who, I do business with. Old Skool Customer Service still lives at Shipley in Galveston -- Hooray! read more

Wow! The kolaches are huge and very tasty! The chocolate donuts are very good. Went through the drive-thru. Quick, friendly service. read more

Just stopped in for breakfast at Shipley Do-Nuts. OMG - SO DELICIOUS! These doughnuts are not typical; they are home made right in the store. I watched as the giant mixer beat the dough for the next batch! You won't find better doughnuts than these! Highly recommended! read more

You can't go to Houston and not go to Shipley's. They make he beat donuts but today I got this dinosaur egg of a apple fritter that it took me about 3 hours to finish. It was delicious and one of the best I've ever had. read more

Quick service, above-average donuts, below-average (cheap!) donuts! Shipley is always reliable for good donuts; they don't have fancy flavors but also don't cost $3 each like some places! While they have many branches, Shipley's are going to be a better bet than, say, Dunkin Donuts. read more

Went through the drive-through both mornings we were on vacation! Donuts were always hot and fresh, and both times the employee at the window was super friendly (which at 6am is awesome!) Fast service and always good donuts! Donut holes and chocolate milk read more

Very disappointed in the quality of donuts. My wife's chocolate twist was hard as a rock and stale and all the donuts are cold. Limited bottle drinks and I was very disappointed. read more

As a part time Galvestonian... This is one of my favorite go to's when we are in town. Staff is always friendly, inviting, and the donuts are amazing. As a black coffee drinker, this is the classic black coffee the donut houses are famous for. I don't know if there's anything much better than a donut and a coffee in the morning especially from the Shipley donuts. I've met the owner a few times and he is a very nice fella. And one of the crowning achievements of this location... A drive-through. Go raiders read more

For me, Shipley's is the number ONE place to go for Doughnuts. Their selection is tremendous and the do-nuts are melt-in-your-mouth wonderful. I particularly enjoy their cake glazed with a fresh cup of coffee - nothing better on this planet. You can't go wrong with these folks!!! Charging up there in the early morning to get some to start my day!!!! read more

We had the best breakfast! Jalapeño and cheese kolaches and Vietnamese coffee. Then chocolate donuts filled with cream!

Whipped Cream-Filled Doughnuts are melt-in-your-mouth especially with a iced Thai tea.

Fresh, fluffy donuts! The best we have had since the chains ran all the moms and pops out of business. Yum! read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - Donuts Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Worst donuts and kolaches I've ever had from a Shipley's. My hubby and I stopped in on New Year's eve morning on our way out of town. First we were accosted by the "homeless" guy in a wheelchair who asked for a strawberry filled donut. When I said ok (doing my good deed for the day) he asks for chocolate milk, I got that too and got 2 donuts for him. I'm hoping his were better than ours. I got 2 sausage and cheese kolaches and 2 with jalapenos and 1 cream filled donut. The kolaches were hard on the outside like they were over cooked. They were a little darker than normal but, when I bit into mine and the sausage tasted old like these were yesterday's kolaches. The cream filled donut tasted like chemicals and was not fresh at all. I will not be going back. read more

I grew up in Houston Mary Lee's, Duncan, And Awesome Shipley donut shops!!! Other places inside of grocery stores anyplace else but this is the Worst!!! Been here several times prior.... was in drive-thru middle of afternoon nobody at the window so I got out the truck & walk inside, waited till owner walked up & said "can he help me" told him "I'm in drive-thru, He walked away & said someone will be there. He was the only one and didn't help me! Never been back!! If you're wanting donuts there is one further down Broadway or off 61st. going toward Beach. read more

The owners of this Shipley's should do themselves a favor and drive to the Shipley's in Houston at 610 and Ella to see how a store should be run. Even if I lived in Galveston I would still drive an hour to literally any location before going to this one again. Cold donuts, poor customer service, everything is made at 4am and there's no turnover so don't expect anything to be fresh unless you get there before 6. read more

Some of the best, fluffy donuts I've ever had. This has been my go to donut shop since I was in elementary...I graduated from college with my bachelors and I still go here. They always greet you with a smile and the place is swirling with positivity. Did I mention that these donuts are really good? read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - Donuts Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I have a confession to make. I don't think that Shipley's is the best to happen to mankind. GASP! Oh, the horror! In fact, I don't even think it is the best thing to happen to breakfast. Blasphemy you say? Perhaps. But today's experience has not swayed my decision. Let's get something straight. It is really hard to screw up donuts. I mean, you really have to try. And since the process is generally the same wherever you go, you'd think that you could expect about the same thing regardless of the type of donut shop. And for the most part, you'd be correct. However, I happen to be a filled donut kinda gal. I especially love the creme filling that just oozes out. And if it doesn't ooze, it isn't done right. What's worse is getting almost halfway through the donut and not coming across any of this oozing business. I mean, I'd just figured that they'd forgotten to fill the thing. Nope, they'd just been stingy. The rest of the donuts fared better, but I'm still not impressed by the not so great customer service, long lines, and somewhat elevated prices. I doubt I'll be back to this location, especially with so many great mom and pop joints in the area. read more

Hot, delicious, fresh, light and fluffy donuts served by a very friendly staff. There seemed to be a lot of regulars so we knew it must be good as soon as we walked in. We ordered a dozen mixed donuts and just let the staff pick out the flavors. Took them back to our condo and our group had them gone within minutes! Would definitely recommend this place. The donuts are different from other places...definitely not the dense cake donuts that are sold other places, but a very good, unique donut! read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - Box of donuts - Donuts Near Me - Galveston, Texas

One otherwise boring Saturday morning my wife and I decided to find the best donut shop on Galveston Island. We purchased standard glazed donut holes from each establishment to compare. Shipley Donuts ranked an average mid of the pack when it came to our donut shop quest. There is really nothing there that stands apart. The menu contains the same basic assortment of donuts, kolaches, and drinks as all the other donut establishments here in Galveston but is a few dimes per item more expensive. The donut holes were okay, though the dough was the chewiest of all that we tried. Being that Shipley is a known franchise in the greater Houston area I assume that many out-of-towners go to Shipley because of little more then brand recognition. I think it was because of this that we experienced the rudest customers (not staff) during our brief time here although I can't fault Shipley Donuts for this. Given the choice, however, I would drive to the other donut place on Broadway. read more

Wow! I had no idea, I should have tried Shipley's sooner! Houston and now Galveston transplants, I now see why everyone loves Shipley's! Great local company, I tried several of the donuts all fresh very tasty, kolaches very good! I am a convert! Definitely a must stop in Galveston for fresh hot donuts with a great selection! read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - Tasty Donuts to go! - Donuts Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I believe in the diversity of people and that there is a perfect donut for everyone. That being said I agree with the prior reviewer that the failed donuts at this Shipley's are just OK. The cake donuts are actually substandard (the batter is slightly too thick and the oil temperature too low to produce the ideal crispy crunch). The cinnamon twists and raised donuts however are great. That being said, the star of the Shipley's show are the kolaches. The bread dough is perfect. The sausage is amazing. A day old Shipley's kolache is great. A fresh warm one is a dream come true. Having kolaches for breakfast at this Shipley's at least once each time I come to Galveston is now a tradition. read more

What an adorable little family owned donut shop! Very friendly staff. Community feel. Donuts were great, coffee was ok.

The staff were super friendly and our food was ready quickly. Yummy donuts and Kolaches!

Worst one ive been to honestly. Girlfriend wanted donuts as her once a month cheat meal. Disappointed with the window girls poor customer service and cold ass donuts. Blueberry cake was cold and flavorless. Donut holes were cold and so was the chocolate ice. Take some pride in the Shipley name. I hate giving bad reviews but it was a sad day read more

Again disappointed! WHAT DONUT SHOP RUNS OUT OF PRODUCT AT 11:30 AM ON A SUNDAY!?!?! Seems to be the modus operandi for this franchise. So I'll keep punishing you with bad reviews and turning around with NO purchase when you don't have on hand the MOST popular items!!! NO! I don't want your stupid bland cake donut instead!!! read more

The cream filled donuts are amazing as are the kolaches. How could a girl resist a wiener in a hot bun? I just wanted to keep shoving things in my mouth. Yummy! read more

Donuts were good donuts...nothing super special. We did get a half dozen glazed, a pumpkin cake, a butterfly (cinnamon roll), and a blueberry jelly filled donut. We got a bag of holes to eat on the way back. We went to the Donut Palace the day before and their glazed were much better. Also this place could've cared less if we bought anything here. Between Dawn Donuts or the Palace...I would rate this place a distant third place. read more

Desired coffee and a donut, however I only purchased a donut due to the attitude of the employee "serving" my fiancé and I. She was very dismissive, short, and unsanitary as she was biting the skin near her fingernails while we asked about the donut selection. Will be heading somewhere else for coffee and will likely not return to this establishment again. I'm sure she's not the owner but a refresher course in customer service would be appreciated. read more

I've been coming to this Shipley's location since I was a toddler. The donut holes and sausage and cheese kolaches hold a special place in my heart. The staff is friendly and remembers their regular customers. Galveston is lucky to have such a great donut place! read more
