My kids and I love this place! People are always friendly! We try to stop by every Friday before school to gets some donuts despite it being out of the way. Worth it!

Thought I’d try something new since it’s by my house. Never Again went thru drive-thru and the little young blonde had terrible customer service she looked so annoyed as soon as she came to the window. As I started to order she keep rolling her eyes. I told her never mind I will take my services somewhere else. And she smiled and said SO. So I’ll never go back.

Went about hour and a half before closing, but they had the ones we wanted. The employee was very nice, and the store clean.But the product was terrible. We had a fritter, cake donut, cinnamon roll and chocolate yeast. All had strange taste. I can get better donuts at our little town shop or at Dunkin. Won't go back again. So don't know how they made it into a chain store

Place is very clean, people very nice. Went early 6am everything was fresh and organized. The taste was fresh. I still prefer a local favorite over this place. I will say they have cream filling aswell as Bavarian which is cool and tasty. They stay open until 6, so while my favorite place closes when they run out. This will be the next best thing.

Went thru the drive thru …1st time visiting this place on 19th St… ordered donut holes … my favorite … a man standing there talking … looked to be the boss … dressed differently than the workers … the lady told him “donut holes” … he said “is that it”? Then he threw the bag to another worker that was standing about 4-5 ft away … I was shocked to say the least … the girl was sweet but you could tell she was new … the whole business is new … my donut holes were not fresh … appeared to have been left over from yesterday … the glaze was crackly … I’ll give them one more chance and then if it’s not better … I’ll be back to Rise and Shine … hard to beat them anyway …

Very friendly staff. Donuts were wonderful.

Some of our favorite donuts and kolaches in town.

Bought a dozen donuts, and two special chocolate cream filled bars. Tried two of six types I bought so far. But the first thing that really grabs my full attention about the whole of it is...The chocolate sprinkle!! Let me count the many ways I disliked it. First...this is my first trip to Shipley, as this one store just recently opened here in Lubbock, Texas. And I will most definitely not be back there, EVER!! The Chocolate sprinkle...wow...so wrong!!! Firstly, I believe that a donut such as the chocolate sprinkle should have the glaze on it, same as a plain glazed donut, and as Krispy kreme does, for example on they're chocolate sprinkled ones. What...are you trying to cut calories by not having glaze on them, so thus saving I'm guessing 20 calories on a 500 calorie item?? Might as well serve it raw to me as to be like that...Really? If I am going to eat 500 calories already anyway, do you think I am worried about the taste killing extra 20 calories for a wonderful glazing??? Please!!! Or are you just going cheaply with this horrible idea? What ever it is is a game changer for me, especially after seeing the strawberry iced and another similar iced in my box was to my displeasure all the more, also without glazing too...wow...what a let down!! That sure killed my desire to ever think of Shipley being a good donut place, as even the worst place in town is better than this. And more on the chocolate sprinkled...it was so bad in the chocolate flavor too. It was totally way too chocolate, and the only comparison I could think of is to imagine a Hershey Dark Chocolate, with a dead fish smell, and made even way more dark chocolate, and without any sugar or sweet to it. Even the sprinkles seemed to taste faked and very cheap. And then the dough. It was like an old expired can of the cheapest biscuit dough without any flavor at all, but stale and very heavy compared to say, a wonderfully light and fresh yummy chocolate sprinkled and glazed perfectly, and then iced with delightful light chocolate buttercream, with fresh sprinkles, like as is how a krispy Kreme is... so delightfully much better in every possible way!!! Sorry but I won't be attending a Shipley ever again, and feel cheated by having to toss them all in the garbage, as what they are!! And, if I am going to go with something sweet to eat, than I am going for full flavor and richest quality, regardless of how many calories, and not in need of really bad ways of saving 1% of calories and making something sweet on same level as a can of sardines, and horrible as something sweet. Sorry but you have failed completely in all that should be good and not shortcut upon, for donuts.

They are pretty good donuts I had a pretty good price

The donuts here are very odd tasting compared to a few places in town. I ordered a Bavarian creme along with a dozen more & it has a spoilt taste in it. As if it was made very early in the morning but was served the next day. The glazed on it was absent but did not lack sweetness. It just taste very odd, I always go to shipleys back in Central TX because it was down the st from my house…. But the donuts in this one just had a different taste & it was quite nasty.
