I placed an ordered the day before for 9 dozens of glaze donuts and asked for flat box. Came pick it up and they had 4 flat boxes and 5 small square boxes. I asked them if they can change out the small square boxes and she told me no bc it was already packed. So then I asked for flat boxes and I will pack them myself. She ended up charging me for the 5 flat boxes. I downloaded the app and she told me she wasn't going to give me the 9 dozens for my app or honor the free donuts. Service was horrible!!! Place was empty when I got there. read more

This place is good. I got two glazed donuts and they were amazing. Better than dunkin and krispy kreme, I think. I believe you do have to pay a service fee when ordering on the app, which sucks. read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - Classic Glazed 2 - Donuts Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Shipley's are some of my favorite donuts and kolaches in the South. Here, the jalapeño cheddar sausage one is filled with each of the three ingredients, and that can make for a surprising bite if you get only the jalapeño piece. I was expecting the jalapeño and cheddar to be *inside* the sausage, but yummy nonetheless. I can't say enough about these donuts so I'll say what matters: delectable. They're crispy on the outside and pillowy and light inside. In other words FRESH. Any way you like them iced, they'll melt in your mouth on every bite. read more

1. The "kolache" was basically just a large pig in a blanket. It was a hot dog wrapped in biscuit dough. Not even like a breakfast sausage, just a hot dog. 2. The chocolate iced was not good. The regular glazed was mid. Why on a Saturday morning would they not be hot and fresh? 3. The layout of the line did not make sense, especially as the line grew longer. read more

I do recommend it, however the donuts were a bit old. What I ordered and what I got were completely different. It's not as great as other Shipley places in Texas. read more

Very delicious donuts with great customer service. This was my first time at any Shipley's and came to learn that they're a chain. I'm not a huge fan of chain establishments, but let me just say, they're good. These donuts are light, airy and not overly sweet in my opinion, unless you get the fillings, then yes, they're sweeter. I bought half a dozen and was desperately tempted to just make it a cool dozen. Ya know, somehow, a baker's dozen just sounds right but thank God for will power. I selected 2 lemon filled, 2 blueberry filled, 1 chocolate filled and 1 cinnamon roll. I've been on a sugar fast for the last 21 days and although I was not obsessing over sweets, this was a nice sweet treat to indulge. Oh, and I only had half of one...seriously lol. Now my husband on the other hand.....he annihilated the rest. Poor donuts didn't stand a chance with that brother. I'll most likely return when in the area. It's a great friendly place. read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - a donut shop front - Donuts Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Delicious donuts that are reasonably priced. To me there is no competition. Always fresh and delicious and we are not exactly in the neighborhood, so we have take a little extra time to get there, but they are worth it. read more

I've loved Shipley donuts in other cities, so I was excited to try this location. I was disappointed though. The donuts were not cooked right. They were hard, heavy and dry inside. The Bavarian filled had barely any filling in them. It seems like they were cooked in sub-temp oil and left in for too long to make them brown. So very disappointing. read more

if i could do 0 stars i would. i looked on the website before and everything i wanted they did not have. so i was like ok fine and i got a creme filled chocolate donut and the creme was warm and it was not sweet at all. and the glazed donuts are not good at all. the other donut i got was a maple iced and it tasted old and dry. do not go here. and the asian lady asked where we were from like we didnt know what we wanted but they didnt have any of the stuff they said they did so of course i didnt know. read more

Yummy!!!! When you enter Shipley's you are immediately introduced to the sweet scent of freshly made doughnuts. The place is brightly lit and super clean. The line may look long, but it moves pretty quickly and when you make it to the end of this rainbow, the pot of gold is actually a box of very reasonably priced, delicious, super fresh doughnuts. I'll be back. read more

What a cute little donut shop! I was driving by and noticed this shop, so I pulled in. The iced coffee was delicious. The best part were the doughnut holes, though I ate them too quickly to snap a picture. I also got a mixed half dozen, which was a hit when I got home. I am glad I stopped in and look forward to coming again in the future. read more

I have been to Shipley's maybe 4 times now. I LOVE the kolaches and the doughnuts. That is why I give them a 5 star rating. I do wish the somewhat clueless middle aged lady with the brown short hair who unfortunately is ALWAYS there when I go, would learn a few more things about the job though. She is nice as can be but does not know the answer to any question I have asked her and - this is the worst part - does not find out the answer. Also, she got my kolache order wrong once when I asked for sausage kolaches not sausage and jalepeno. Today I went and Scott, who I guess is either the owner or the manager since he exuded confidence and I give 5 more stars to, was finally able to answer a couple of my "complicated" questions. They were, where does the boudin come from and how long until the next batch of boudin kolaches come out. Prior to that, I asked the clueless one and she said they will be out when they are out. (I have friends that went and the exact same thing happened to them). Instead she could of maybe asked the bakers who were 4 feet away how long until they come out... Aside, from the 4 just ok experiences with the brown haired lady, I have thoroughly enjoyed and had MAGNIFICENT experiences with the doughnuts. I love the chocolate cream filled ones. They do not use the typical pudding type filling. They use, what tastes like, a chocolate icing filling. That is what Meche's in Lafayette LA uses and it is fantastic!! The size of the doughnuts are about 3 inches wide, not real big, but the taste is there. There is so much left for me to try here but I keep going back to those awesome boudin stuffed kolaches. If you want to dine in, there are a few tables inside. I love that they are open 7 days away and until 7pm. I welcome more Shipley's to the New Orleans and am grateful we got this one. read more

Imagine eating a cinnamon roll that you're pretty pleased with and then take another bite and boom it feels like gum is in your mouth.....that's what happened to me! It was half baked but it wasn't advertised as half baked. I was really impressed at the taste at first because I've been searching for a good place since I moved here. However I was really upset that it was still raw dough half way through. The regular doughnut was decent but I'm not sure I'll return now. It sucks because I really preferred the taste of this place over the other local town favorite that everyone loves. It was also really clean inside. read more

I get the hype. I had a single glazed doughnut and cut it in half with the intention of giving the other half to friends. I couldn't do it. It was lukewarm (I came after their 10am guaranteed warm window) and it was still good. My friends rave about the kolaches. I tried the boudin from hers. It was just OK. read more

REALLY BAD KOLACHES (See my pics) 1. The bread isn't the classic waxy, Texas Czech/Schulenberg variety. It's more like a less flakey pie dough. 2. The sausages aren't the standard 2 1/2"-ers (think cocktail weiners) that often overflow the smaller squares of sweet biscuit. They resemble the old cheap Lyke's hot dogs. 3. These kolaches are hollow! They don't bake up around the meat. Worse, the pockets are huge. You can almost hear the weiners rolling around! 4. I have no idea what kind of cheese wiz sauce they use but it reminds me a lot of the runny queso at Izzo's. BUT THE MAIN REASON THIS REVIEW SUCKS is because I really like and admire owner (and former WDSU anchor) Scott Walker. read more

Shipley's is my favorite donut shop in town! Good donuts and kolaches for good prices!

Best donuts in Metairie hands down. Great customer service. Parking is easy which is hard to find on Metairie Road. Highly recommend. read more

Kolache was good, donuts were ok. but the service was def not. Ladies in the front were rude. Not even a greetings.

Place is pretty cool, ate there a few times when I found out about them in Houston, very close to my house, my low sting and problem is, when it's time to get the kids donuts, and website says everyday of the week, from 5a to 5p.. This location is never open almost. I went Tuesday morning around 11a it was closed, went on a Monday it was closed.. it's closed more than it's open to say it's in our neighborhood, kinda sucks but tastees you can always count on to be open during business hours. read more

So far I love what I've been tasting! Tried the chocolate with sprinkles, lemon filled, and regular sugar donut. These Do-Nuts do not give any of those weird after tastes that I usually get when eating so nuts. This place is close to one of the gyms I go to soon will make sure to visit again! read more

Wow, what a nice treat for Independence Day! I've never heard of Shipley's and kept seeing Insta and Twitter posts about it. They closed at 11 bc it was the 4th, but I think they stay open till 7 during normal business hours? Anyhoo, I didn't know it was owned by our own Scott Walker from WDSU! My faves, raspberry filled glazed, creamed filled glazed, and boudin kolache! I enjoyed the sweet and savory! I went in right bf closing and everyone who was working was extremely helpful and nice! They also have a customer appreciation punch card, so don't forget to ask for one! I will definitely be returning and look forward to seeing what other stuffings in the kolache's are offered! read more

Brand new place to Louisiana but home to me. Being from Houston, I was super excited to see this place open up! They open early and close later than most donut shops in my area. My favorites are always the cream filled donuts and the kolaches. Kolaches are basically piggies in a blanket. I always get the sausage, cheese and jalepeno ones. Its sooo soft when you bite into it! I am a creature of habit so i always get the white cream filled donuts. Their donuts are sooo soft ...even if it sat on the counter all day, these creamed filled donuts are still soft. Once in a while, i get the flavored frosting/sprinkled donuts such as the strawberry flavored or cherry flavored. I also think that for a dozen of donuts...$9 is not a bad price! I will be back over and over again! read more

The entire neighborhood has been waiting with great anticipation for the grand opening of Shipley Do-nuts... the FIRST Shipley's to hit Louisiana. Well, it's finally here... and all expectations have been met. Fresh, hot, delicious donuts... glazed are the best of course... and kolaches! I lived in Texas for a while, so I am familiar with the Czech inspired pastry known as the kolache, but they seem to be somewhat new to New Orleans. Basically, it's stuffed bread... Shipley's stuffs theirs with sausage and cheese, jalepeno, ham and cheese... and my favorite, boudin. A solid breakfast or lunch option and very filling. Speaking of living in Texas, I lived a few blocks from the original Shipley's on Ella Blvd in north Houston. They of course have the best donuts on earth, still frying in their century's old fryers... BUT, inspiration from the original Texas location is present here in a donut that's just about as awesome. Plus... Texas doesn't have the spicy boudin kolaches... HUGE seperator. BOTTOM LINE: Great new donut joint in the heart of Old Metairie. I anticipate a few more inches added to my waistline by the end of the summer. read more

I was so excited to hear about this place opening up! Upon walking in place is super cute and you can see all of their delicious donuts! I ended up getting the strawberry glaze donut. Upon tasting it, it was just a bland donut, it did not taste fresh. I will say that I did end up going there at about 4:30pm. That might have had something to do with it, but this donut did not make me think I NEED ANOTHER! My weakness is donuts and unfortunately this donut shop did not do it for me. I will def give them one more shot and try their Kolache, and come early for a donut and see if that makes a difference. You can never go wrong with a Kolache! Service was fast, cashier was very friendly, another reason why I am willing to give them another chance! read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - Strawberry glazed - Donuts Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I was so happy when Shipley Do-Nuts opened up in Old Metairie! I went to college in Texas and Shipley Do-Nuts was a favorite for me (I haven't had them in 8 years!). So today, I decided I would have a cheat meal and I knew exactly what my cheat meal would be: a glazed donut from Shipley Do-Nuts! Since it's national donut day, they ended up giving me a free donut on top of the one I ordered, so I ended eating both because it's physically impossible to not eat a donut when it's in front of you (and when it's given to you for free. Especially when it's a Shipley donut). Anyway, what else can I say? Shipley is the best. Their glazed donuts are always fresh, hot and delicious. I've never tried their other donuts because I love their glazed ones so much-and unfortunately as much as I love donuts, I have a wedding coming up and can't eat them as much as I'd like :( but I plan on trying another kind on my next visit. Lastly, the service was great and everyone was super friendly. Whatever growing pains they may have had when they first opened a few months ago seem to have gone away because everything was great and I can't wait to return! read more

We come to Shipley Donuts at least once a week. Their donuts are wonderful, and you can tell that the employees genuinely care about their product and the customers. I love their unique cream filling. It is very different from bavarian creme. I think my favorite is the Bull's Eye. It's a combination of a chocolate iced donut with a creme topping and sprinkles. Their chocolate filled is similar to a Hubig's Pie. The location is convenient, and the parking is easy. Thanks Shipley! read more

To Dough or Nut I visited this place for the first time because I consider myself a food critic with a distinguished palate to see how they stand up to my favorite, Krispy Kreme's. I've tried local doughnut shops- which by the way all taste the same- and those of the national chains. Here's how I determine the real taste of a doughnut, not based on its hot and freshness alone, but how it taste after a day of sitting. Many places depend on their hot and ready doughnuts because this is all they have to stand on. Let that doughnut sit for the next day and don't heat it up, you probably wouldn't believe it was the same doughnut. I'm not impressed by Shipley's doughnuts after having tasted Krispy Kreme's. The later doughnut dough has a distinct vanilla flavor absent from other doughnuts. The texture is also is very soft devoid of tiny air pockets which make them more airy than other doughnuts and still taste good days later. The "days- later test" will tell you the real taste about a doughnut. When the hot doughnut sits, there goes what you actually liked about it. No real character in the flavor, just basically dough and sugar. read more

Shipley Do-Nuts - L-R: glaze, raspberry filled, lemon filled - Donuts Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I stopped in here with a friend over the weekend. It was in the late afternoon, so there were no crowds. They still had plenty of donuts to choose from though. The staff was very friendly and all of the donuts and Kolaches looked pretty good. We both got the maple glazed donuts and enjoyed it. Next time I hope to try a Kolache. Nice addition to the area. read more

Tried Shipley today for the first time. The cashier greeted me immediately and asked what I wanted. I told her I just needed a few minutes. I proceeded to order a cherry donut, a cinnamon roll, a breakfast kolache, a small iced coffee to-go, and a small hot coffee to-go. The cashier got my pastries and kolache, and she proceeded to get the coffees. The hot coffee came from a basic drip coffee pot that you'd find in most diners. The cold coffee came from an iced tea cistern that you'd find in most chain restaurants. I will say that I felt that the price was reasonable for the quantity of items (I paid 11 something including tip). As I bit into the breakfast kolache (which includes only sausage and cheese), I immediately noticed that the sausage was basically a link still within its sausage casing. The cheese was a small squirt of artificial cheddar. The only bearable part was the bread, but it was nothing to write home about. The cherry donut? Just red icing on a basic donut. No cherry flavor whatsoever. The hot coffee? Never have I had coffee so burnt to a crisp. I couldn't even pretend to enjoy it. My girlfriend said the iced coffee also tasted burnt; however, the cinnamon roll was fairly good. I personally won't be returning to Shipley's Do-nuts. There are simply enough local restaurants to purchase a tastier breakfast with REAL coffee. Seriously, how does Shipley open, serve sub-par coffee in a coffee town, serve sub-par pastries in a city with a sweet tooth, and expect to stay open? Ship on out, Shipley. You're outshined by District Donuts, Baker's Dozen, Station Coffee, etc. read more

I was so excited to see that Shipley had reopened after the hurricane. It's what we all needed right then, some perfect sweetness to lift our spirits. I bought donuts and donut holes and brought some to friends and neighbors and they were all so appreciative. Shipley makes the best glazed donuts, not overly sweet with a bit of a crunch. Can't say how happy I was that they were taking credit cards, with so many places cash only we were getting low!! Nice friendly employees and a superior donut, we appreciate our neighborhood donut shop. read more

Not really too sure why everyone loves this place? Maybe cause it's clean and on Metairie rd? Donuts were ok, got the chocolate with sprinkles and a chocolate glaze and some regular donut holes. They were good, just didn't seem super fresh to me. There was a long line, service was great, but the taste was lacking. Maybe I'll try it again. read more

Yum yum yummmmmy!!!! Can I just leave it at that? Lol, so this is a great donut shop. Big enough to sit and and enjoy it as well. Hot donuts made fresh daily, oh yeah! Only thing I could think to critique is the amount of glaze on the plain glaze donuts. It is A LOT. However the dough is sooo good that I will just spend my time dusting off glaze to be able to still eat the donut lol. I truly enjoy this shop! read more
