Shipley Do-Nuts

The coffee isn't real. Mostly just sugar pre-mixes. Donuts come cold and they won't heat up for you.

I wanted to try this place in the morning before rating as the evening run was pretty gross. I loaded up this morning (6:20 am). 3 diff rolls, fritter, dozen mixed and a large coffee almost close to 35 bucks. Starting with the cream cheese rolls I got a strawberry and a blueberry and it has SO MUCH wierd gelled topping on top, no icing no glaze but I assume what they use for filled donuts plopped on top like a inch thick yet the cinnamon roll had barely any glaze lol like what?? Fritter had to weigh atleast 2 pounds very thick dense and heavy. Taste wise I couldn't with any of the rolls or fritter. Ick... I hope the family can. The donuts well they are just kinda wierd not bad but not good. I had one glazed and Texture is squishy foamy. If you pinch it, it goes right back to shape like a squisy ball. The taste is well squisy and foamy but overly sweet in a wierd way. Had high hopes the coffee was legit but you could cut it with a knife EXTREMELY thick and bitter as all get out. I put the one cup in my pot at home and added water almost ended up with a full pot of coffee lol and I like strong coffee. But DAYUM. Well I really do hope this place makes some adjustments and hangs around, and I'm sure they have a following but it is a HARD PASS for us. Also the Indian lady at the drive thru wasn't exactly welcoming.

The coffee is a 2/5 The donuts are 4/5 - but no way to get warm per staff.

Great variety of do-nuts. Fresh.

First visit since they can to Lubbock. I really like the breading of their kolaches way better than Rise N Shine, it has a nice crispy bottom and it's much less dense. The ham and cheese kolaches is SO GOOD. The fruit filled donuts are a disappointment, you can taste any breadiness of the donut because it's so thin and sugared and the follow tasted like canned pie filling. The flavored icing donuts are hot and miss - that maple is great. They all have generous toppings but flavors like cherry and strawberry just taste sweet - nothing like the fruit or even an extract. Didnt get to try the caked types this time but if we go back it'll be fine the ham loaches as to try cake donuts. Mixed bag of liked and dislikes but with the drive for a kolache.
