from Google & Yelp"“Shipley’s Donuts: Where Glazed Goodness Meets Coffee Bliss (and Maybe a Little Addiction)” Walking into Shipley’s Donuts is like stepping into a temple of sugary salvation. The air smells of fresh dough, sugar glaze, and just a hint of magic. It’s 7 a.m., and the line is bustling with sleepy-eyed regulars and drive-thru warriors desperate for their next fix of fried perfection. Honestly, if donuts were a controlled substance, Shipley’s would be running a sugar cartel. Let’s talk glazed donuts—the crown jewel of their operation. Hot, fresh, and so soft they practically melt in your mouth, these aren’t just donuts. They’re an experience. Each bite has that perfect ratio of fluffy interior to sweet, glistening glaze that whispers, “You’ll be back tomorrow, won’t you?” And yes, Shipley’s, I will. Then there’s the coffee deal—a genius marketing move disguised as pure generosity. For $30, I snagged their iconic red “Do Happy” coffee cup, and now I’m living my best caffeinated life with $1 coffee refills for life. That’s not a deal; it’s a declaration of loyalty. It’s as if Shipley’s knows their coffee pairs so perfectly with those donuts that you’ll be coming back long after you’ve forgotten what other cafes even look like. The staff? Absolute gems. Efficient, friendly, and clearly experts at handling the steady flow of customers buzzing through like bees to honey. Their kindness makes the whole experience even sweeter. So here’s the pro tip: Get there early. Shipley’s is at its best when the donuts are piping hot, fresh out of the fryer, and neatly packed with care. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, their glazed donuts will satisfy it so thoroughly you’ll wonder how you survived mornings without them. Final verdict? Shipley’s isn’t just a donut shop; it’s a morning ritual. Whether you’re in it for the donuts, the coffee, or the pure joy of watching the world get its sugar fix, Shipley’s delivers every time. Five stars—because frankly, Google doesn’t let me give six."
"Best donuts in town. Basic glazed it’s just soooo amazing. They know how to do it properly. It varies a bit depending on the location but delicious overall"
"Shipley donuts in WACO is in a nice location. Donuts. twists. They got a lot if choices. It is a little pricey. It is clean. I like stopping by."
"Super fast, very friendly, and yummmmmm at the food! I got 1/2 a dozen sausage & cheese kolaches, some donut holes, a chocolate covered Bavarian filled donut (my absolute favorite) and my daughter got an iced caramel coffee. Great prices!"
"My fiancé went and ordered our donuts. Got home and my donut holes were missing. I ordered an old-fashioned with nuts no icing. The thing is burnt and old and stale . There was no way it was made fresh this morning. My fiancé back up there and got my donut holes. They were OK. It has been years since I have been to this location, but I used to go several times a week and it used to be delicious. The quality of their food has went downhill immensely I would not recommend this location to anyone."
"We only have donuts or kolaches a couple of times per year. Any Shipley's has always been the best for kolaches and the donuts were always Good as well...."
