Amazing donut! The cream filled was melted marshmallow in the center, it was incredible.

The weather kept us grounded and these are the best donuts. One of my guys got two dozen to give out to the agents we've been working with. I had fasted 24 hrs so i went full fat boy and had a creme filled one and a traditional glazed. Support small businesses. read more

Ordered the Mini Donuts and the kids and adults had so much fun eating them: glazed, strawberry, chocolate with sprinkles and vanilla with sprinkles and more! We brought the new year in right! I really think this will be a new treat for more celebrations! They must be ordered 24 hours in advance-so you know they'll be FRESH. You must also order a few dozen. Don't worry, they will go fast! Shipley's is open 24 hours so you can order any time! Yay!!!! read more

Super disappointed in the way we were treated. Young guy behind the counter was incredibly rude. Im completely unsure why, but he was visibly perturbed by me and my 3 year old's presence. Asking for a kolache was met with 'we don't have that. We DONT have that' I asked if there were any kolaches left, he said 'jalapeno'. I told him that would be fine, and I ended up getting something completely different. No big deal. When I was done ordering, he asked cash or card. When I said cash, he stuck his hand out for it. I asked what my total was, and he hatefully pointed at the screen and said 'it's on there.' After he gave me my change he walked away. I asked for a receipt and he motioned to the register, like I should reach across the counter and rip it off myself. I can do that, but I don't think management would appreciate a customer reaching across and towards a register. He then came back and gave it to me, and left my food behind a sign on the counter. I'm totally unsure why we were met with such hatefulness. The whole encounter was weird and made me super uncomfortable, especially being with my child. Once I got my receipt, I asked if there was something wrong. He said 'why would there be' I told him he seemed upset and a little rude. Motioning to the screen, not wanting to hand me the receipt, each thing I asked for seemed to ruin his day more, etc When I left he said 'You have a great day, DRIVE SAFE' in an awfully mocking tone. This was in front of my child, another customer, and a female employee at the counter. What a shame as my kids have loved going in there. I won't risk taking them in somewhere with an aggressive and hostile guy behind the counter. This encounter felt intimidating and unsafe. read more

Service is great. I ordered online so it was super fast. I did notice since I last order a few that they have downsized the Do-Nuts. Oh well better for my waist line read more

Well we are moving back to TX and I just had to stop and get the greatest Kolaches. I was very dissatisfied today when I left the drive through parked in a spot and began to eat what I ordered. First thing I noticed is how hard they were. I'm like are you kidding me! So hard I had to pull off more than half the loaf... huge, dry and far from what I remembered. I ordered Sausage Cheese Jalapeño and did not even get Jalapeño. Okay remembered years ago that they would put a piece of Jalapeño on top before cooking so the employee and customer would know. Too bad for this location because we live close by and will not ever return. I'll try another spot. read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - the inside of a bag - Donuts Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Mmmmm, donuts. If Homer Simpson himself had to choose a place to buy donuts, he'd probably go to a Shipley's. Their donuts are really different from others you've probably tasted, their donuts are more dense and aren't the light, fluffy, empty donuts you might get at lesser donut shops. These are not "I'll eat half a dozen" these are "I'll have one, maybe two" donuts. Also, the glaze on them isn't over sweet, it's more of an accent and works with the flavor of the batter instead of smothering it. Great staff and open 24 hours with a drive-thru means that you can get your donut on anytime you feel like it. If you haven't tried them yet, please do, you won't regret it! read more

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

Stopped in for kolache's via the drive thru and they were all out. Dave the manager said if we had 10 minutes they would be ready. Come on in and he'd set us up with a coffee while we waited. A donut and coffee were waiting when came In! Long lost customer service at its best! Thank you Dave!! read more

Just plain bad. Was hoping for a delicious late day snack so jumped over to this place. Just not fresh or tasty or worth the effort

Love going by in the morning to have some delicious warm donuts! Delicious and sinful! Two thumbs up go early and enjoy.

If you want donuts, #1 is Krispy Kreme, far second is dunking, as for Shipley, I would not even feed them to the homeless. I bought some for my grandkids on way to pick them up from school at 3:30. They were stale, dry, and flavorless. This was McAllen Tx. Last time I went to a Shipleys was 15 years ago in Houston, did not buy at the time because there were like 20 flies inside the display case. Glad they haven't changed. I won't ever be back. read more

Service and product is outstanding! Regardless of pandemic this place has had great business, but there recent price hike is going to make me think twice before returning. read more

Yuck! RIDICULOUS EXPENSIVE horrible dry, stale and hard as a rock and greasy, except for the doughnut holes they were undercooked raw in the middle but hard dry outside they were like day olds?, the big disappointment was the apple fritter? it was a apple LIKE filler shoved into a fritter like doughnut no actual apple or fritter ? urgh, how do you mess up doughnuts? I'll definitely pass the next time I have a hankering for donuts Shipley's comes highly recommended by many but holy mackerel, if this is all the valley has to offer for donuts I don't need them that bad! I'd be better off ordering doughnuts off of Amazon? read more

This shipley's is 24/7 but on 05/27/19 @10pm they only had 2 types of donuts.. like why be open 24/7 and not serve more variety or make more donuts so you don't run out. Service was the worse 2 young ladies who kept laughing for no reason and giving attitude. Went to Dunkins instead bc they were open and still had Chocolate Sprinkle Donuts available for us! read more

I picked up some donuts for a meeting this morning and they were very fresh. This is a no frills place for something sweet. I must say I prefer Krispy Kreme's texture over Shipley's, but overall the donuts are palatable. read more

Terrible service, stopped for a fun middle of the night snack with my daughter and the lady said they were out of everything except maple cherry and chocolate but the shelves had plenty. I had to repeat to her over a dozen times what I wanted because she just wasn't all there, I feel terrible writing this but I got so frustrated she got almost every donut wrong and I drove off with Junk I didn't want half of them obviously old and stale. Please get someone new at the window the service from this older lady was TERRIBLE!!! read more

Manager saw me at window and acted like i didn't just pull up, and then proceeded to hide behind the shelves so he didn't attend me so i left after 5 minutes of me waiting there to be attended. if i could give zero stars i would , very unprofessional. read more

Great experience with great ownership and customer service. Dave was super friendly guy and donuts and coffee were fantastic. We will be back! read more

One of the hidden gems of little McAllen Texas, is this tiny doughnut shop that opened as the town was growing into a city. Located in the heart of McAllen on N 10th street, the shop still hasn't lost its retro style or it's luster. I went to take pictures at around 3 AM in the morning, the shop was completely empty except for a lone cook who was making the dough for tomorrows batch of doughnuts. Just the smell inside that shop was enough to get you salivating for a whole box of doughnuts. The view of the empty street, the bright florescent lights of the shop and the warmth radiating from the oven filling the entire shop instills a feeling of nostalgia that can make anybody feel at home in this little city. The doughnuts are pretty good too. read more

I love eating doughnuts here. It has this homey smell to it that reminds you of quality doughnuts. Its doesn't feel like commercial doughnuts. Lots of love and respect for the night crew, you do us all late night fatties a favor. read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - Donuts!!! - Donuts Near Me - McAllen, Texas

How is there only one review for this gem? I have been known to walk two miles for a donut. I love them. Living in New York, I don't get tons of fresh donuts. When I drove by this stand alone shop, I knew I had to stop. The parking lot was full on a rainy day. Cars were wrapped around the drive-thru. I walked into the restaurant to see what was up: controlled mayhem. Old people, young people, Spanish speakers, English speakers, couples, moms, daughters, singles, rockers, and country folk were all lined up waiting. The people behind the counter moved at a fast pace. I was getting anxious just looking at them stuff those boxes. I got a maple donut, which is my favorite flavor. It melted in my mouth. It hit the right spot for sweetness. I agree with the previous comment, one is enough! So good! read more

The best donuts of the Valley. They welcome you while you are opening the door. Have different stuff and they know your time is important and help you right away. Love it! read more

Compared to the Shipley's were used to in Houston this one is a dud. Kolaches and donuts tasted like they'd be sitting out for several days with little flavor. You're better off going to Krispy Kreme or a local cupcake place to satisfy your sweet tooth read more

My ass would be the size of Texas if I lived any closer to Shipley Donuts. These donuts are undoubtedly the best donuts I've ever tasted. If I could marry a donut, I couldn't because they're all amazing. I would marry all of the donuts. I want them all- even the jelly donuts! Never ever in my life did I like a jelly donut until Shipley's Believe it or Not changed my life. Shipley Donuts make me go NUTS! read more

Wow!!! Awesome donuts and kolaches!! Super yummy. Great prices! Clean store. Great staff. Very friendly and helpful.

Customer service is excellent at this location every time I go someone is always there to meet me with a smile at the counter. Hey older gentleman who seems to either be the manager or the owner is always there offering the best possible customer service by always attending to all his customers simply and example of how to run a business. When it comes to the donuts I always have the nutty chocolate cake donut. This also seems to be their top seller and I can't blame people for it. This donut is amazing and always hits the spot. read more

ohhhhh mannnn!!! after scarfing down some greasy yummy tacos, the peeps craved for some sweets...so here we are, and the new donuts were slowly getting racked on for the night owls...and omggggg...they were so fluffy soft, warm...and and and...just goodness in my mouth. read more

I'm giving them a 1 because I can't give half a point but I have been in everyday for a week and a half already looking for kolaches and not only have them but every single one of their workers lack empathy their answer is always we don't have any we don't know when we are going to have some and call in early to set them aside. Horrible service good thing is faithful Krispy Kreme always has some even if I have to drive a little further read more

This is probably one of my top 3 donuts shops and the hot chocolate is delicious and super cheap

These donuts deserve their 5 stars and if I had less self control, you can bet my small frame would be plumping up VERY quickly. Fantastic donuts! Bf and I bought a variety dozen to test this place out since we drive by often. I am only slightly ashamed to admit that I had THREE donuts right off the bat. This is unheard of for me. I enjoy donuts, but I'll eat a 1/2 donut elsewhere and be donut-satisfied for a good 2 months. We finished the box within a few hours...shameless. We have entirely different preferences in donut flavor, texture, and sweetness but we were both extremely pleased. I almost regret discovering Shipley Donuts because I've been craving them daily since. Staff was very helpful with our decision-making process and super friendly. Donuts were inexpensive, especially relative to their deliciousness. What more can I say? These donuts are the best I've ever had! read more

I've been coming to McAllen Texas for 10 years now and can't believe I haven't tried Shipley donuts before. They were so good tender flavorful and the glaze donut I got was fresh from the oven. Even their "no name "coffee was excellent. So much variety and something for everyone! read more

How can you be a 24 hour shop and not have donuts at 830pm at night on a cold night???? Then plus we gotta wait till midnight? Ridiculous! I guess they are short staffed in there ! read more

waaat? open 24/7 lol! Im always good to stop by for a sweet treat. They have some nice flavored cake donuts as well as regular donuts. They have the glazed, the powered, sugar coated, etc, etc a bit of everything. You can eat there or take it to go. I looove cake donuts, they just have such a good consistency. Plain and just sweet enough. mmm~ read more

I go for a chocolate iced bar and "they're out" then I try to ask for a buttermilk donut and "they're out" then I ask for donut holes and they don't even have the one I want. To add to my frustration the girl at the window was dull and seemed to be annoyed with her job which makes me feel like she doesn't care if they're out of anything and she does not care to prepare, I would get if they were closing but they're 24 hours???? I don't get it!??? read more

I loved it been coming here since I was a kid have been to many other doughnut shops outside of the valley non match up to Shipleys in my opinion. I haven't gone in a while because when they hired the guy with glasses he is always mad and rolls his eyes at me and makes me feel like I'm an idiot. That is the only reason it is not 5 stars. So I only go when he is not working their. read more

Okay so this is the third time I try Shipley's and unfortunate it's still not good. I don't get what the big deal is the donuts are greasy and each time I go they're stale. I ordered an apple fritter and it was hard and greasy, the eclair was hard as well. The only good donut was the lemon filled which was good but that's it. I've had really good donuts and great donuts. And for those that think Shipley is great, you need to get out of McAllen and try real donuts... read more

Oh Shipley how glorious you are. I have never been an avid donut eater and I am not a pastry eater either, but I have indulged in Krispy Kreme many times being from Southern California. I have to say I am in love with Shipley donuts, I have given up on my Krispy Kreme love affair due to the glazed cake donut from Shipley. I also enjoy their regular glazed donut I have had several other donuts there, over several visits, in a short span of time, and have enjoyed them throughly. read more

I really have nothing bad to say about this location. Great fresh donuts, great selection, pick up a dozen of your choice, they are delicious. Staff is friendly too, coffee has been good when I have visited, check it out if you want to bring donuts to the office without the absurd price tag. read more
