    This is the best shipley donuts in Houston! I’ve been to a lot and this location is always the best and has the freshest donuts. They usually make the glazed donuts a few times a day. Warm donuts are the absolutely best. One employee there is a bit rude. She charged me double for a dozen donuts. I even questioned her about it. She said the price went up. I knew it was a lie. I just assumed she needed a tip and let it go.

    Donuts for a donut emergency or craving, open 24h, filled, classic and cake; good people, very friendly, donuts are just regular stuff, inexpensive, nothing special or inventive...the experience is everything, better than the donuts. They are fresh because they are made on site! I watched them do it: dough, cook, glaze etc... Good parking, probably the best Shipley in Houston.

    Can't go wrong if you time it right. Hot donuts the best in Houston run don't walk or you will miss them. THE 5 STAR RATING WAS before yesterday when I purchased a chocolate creme filled donut the creme has always been white and not greasy yesterday it was almost grey like or very off white, the creme was awful very very greasy I had a very hard time getting the grease off my fingers from trying to take it out of donut and the greasy film from the bite out of the donut was very hard to get off my lips. The recipe must of changed or they filled the chocolate donut with just grease or at least it looked like nothing but grease. I would like everyone to know I travel some 25 miles there and 25 miles back to get a donut from the Shipley on N. Main I will not eat a donut from any other I feel the recipes are not exactly a like. Also that I have been eating donuts from this Shipley for over 54yrs I'm in my 60's now I would say it's been more then 54 yrs but not sure how small I was when my father would bring us hot donuts on Friday nights. Like I said before if the recipe has changed, change it back don't skimp on ingredients I mean the prices have gone up so why skimp so I expect quality like before or if it was human error and they put nothing but grease/ shortening in the donuts creme I might understand. Anyone I have told to go to this particular Shipleys have all stated oh man they are the best not dry and flat, but very fluffy they also would TRAVELED a long distance to get them from the N. MAIN LOCATION, FIX THE PROBLEM PLEASE.

    Tried this Shipley's for the first time around 10pm yesterday. This is one of the times when you can guarantee to have FRESH donuts. They were delicious! They basically melt in your mouth. Will be returning for sure. 🍩🍩🍩

    This is the flagship location for Shipley's. They make hot donuts three times a day so you have a better chance of getting them hot here than other locations. Cashiers are always sweet and helpful so I always tip.

    I think everyone knows the quality of their donuts, so no need for me to comment. In case you didn’t know, they are the best! But I do want to comment how great their customer service is! I was with our dog and one of the ladies came outside to take my order so I wouldn’t have to leave him outside unattended. Thank you for being kind and going the extra step!

    This is one of my favorite Shipley locations, especially for the Kolache’s. They have a more buttery fluffy taste. They donuts are hot and fresh throughout the day.

  • 4/5 Kristen A. 1 year ago on Google
    I like to hit the drive-thru on my way to work the night shift and pick up a dozen for my coworkers. Fast and friendly service. However, I tried the apple fritter today and it left a horrible waxy taste in the back of my mouth. All the others, including custard filled were pretty good.

  • 5/5 Tina H. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresh, soft donuts! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Graciella L. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been going here since I was a little girl. It’s the original, the best, and nothing will ever compare to their piping hot fresh glaze donuts.

  • 2/5 Anita P. 8 months ago on Google
    Reason for this low score today was the window service I received. I had to ask if she was ready to take my order, then when I was handed my items I didn't receive a thank you and she just closed the window. She would benefit taking customer service classes. She gave the company a bad name. First time I've had this experience, sad because the kolaches and donuts are the best at this location. Get yourself together lady!

  • 5/5 krizzia m. 8 months ago on Google
    I love this location. I lost my wallet by giving food to a homeless lady and left it in the bag. The staff found her for me and got it back. They also told me she always hangs around there because they feed her πŸ₯Ή just angels on earth. The only place im buying donuts and kolaches from in htx πŸ’•

    Shipley Do-Nuts is, has, and will always be the KING of do-nuts!! There is just something special about biting down into a warm, airy Shipley Do-Nut that I have never felt at any other do-nut establishment! Thanks, Shipley, for proving a little something special in people's mornings, mid days, and nights.

  • 5/5 ACE J. 1 year ago on Google
    In a bit of a sketchy area but I was very surprised that the donuts were fresh at 9 o'clock at night. The lady was very kind and all the donuts were perfect. My only complaint is that they do not make or don't know what an old fashioned donut is, which I thought was a little weird. But other than that everything was awesome, keep up the good work at this 24 hour shipleys.

  • 5/5 Patrick O. 6 months ago on Google
    Fresh hot glaze doughnuts. If you haven't eaten Shipley's. Need to try it. Hands down the best. IMO. Big open bay windows so you can watch the make them.

  • 5/5 Charles D. 5 months ago on Google
    Incredible employees! Have gone by here a few times now and every time they are incredibly helpful and super nice. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you have late night cravings for their menu, or have early morning cravings for their menu, the employees will do what’s they can for you. Definitely a hidden local gem of a place where you can get good food at weird times. Whoever the drive through lady was that helped me tonight deserves an award in customer service!!!!

  • 5/5 KatGames 4 months ago on Google
    I come here super early sometimes since I have late night shifts and the workers here are always so great and make my morning every time I come. It makes the food taste so much better to have such nice people to see so early in the morning.

  • 1/5 John Connelly (Meat C. 5 months ago on Google
    whats the point of being 24 hours if you're always out of everything? This is the only Shipley in the city that is always out of everything and it's like a half mile from the hq. make it make sense. they also have the rudest employees at this location and it feels like a punishment to interact with them. every time. definitely avoid this specific location

  • 5/5 Kristoffer H. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place! Thaey didn't have any frosted cinnamon rolls, so she frosted a cinnamon twist for my girlfriend. Always the best donuts in town and always a great experience.

  • 5/5 Anvil A. 1 year ago on Google
    Was here at 2 pm which is in-between donut cooking times, so didn't expect any fresh ones. But while asking at the counter a cook said he would have some fresh ones out in just another minute! Got it hot and fresh and it was awesome!

  • 5/5 Israel T. 2 years ago on Google
    I've spent the last few months on the road where there are no Shipley Donuts. So glad to be back in Houston TX. Missed my warm glazed donuts. Kolaches, and especially all the smiling faces.

  • 5/5 Lydia Y W. 1 year ago on Google
    My family has always enjoyed waiting for these fresh or preferably hot donuts to come right out and be iced in front of us since I was a little girl. Seems like they melt in your mouth when they're hot.

  • 5/5 Roland S. 1 year ago on Google
    They were hot good and fresh as always shipless is the only way to go

  • 4/5 chuck p. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fresh donuts, just wish they had a place to sit down and enjoy them!

  • 4/5 Mauro D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresh donuts are great. The kolaches are the best, no other location does it like this place.

  • 5/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best glazed donuts are Shipley's! I wish Shipleys as a whole had better kolaches, the shipley bold is the only one worth the money imo

  • 2/5 L C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is normally my go to location for donuts and kolaches. This morning I placed my order and paid. My fresh kolache was hard/burnt. I asked the worker how old were the donuts she handed me and she had no clue. If the donuts aren't fresh at least know when you prepared them. Waste of time and money. So disappointed before a 12 hour shift.

  • 5/5 A P. 1 year ago on Google
    Only in Houston for a little under a day, I had to stop at the Shipleys that started it all. Gone are the days of the Orange Bang drink, but the quality, the donuts, and the friendliness of the staff still remain. Thanks for making it exactly as I remember! Hope to see you again.

  • 2/5 John S. 2 years ago on Google
    There was a light in the window that indicated that they had fresh, hot donuts. When we pulled up to the drive thru window, they didn't have fresh donuts and were limited on their selection.

  • 1/5 Dee B. 2 years ago on Google
    The lady at the counter, she is a shirt dark haired Hispanic older woman, maybe 63 years old. She is truly rude and has no patience. She honestly will make you want to take your business elsewhere. It was my daughter's first time there, it was no one else in the store and she got ride with her. I checked her real quick, she said,"she felt like she wasn't rude to my daughter, not at all." I did tell her to apologize and she gave a half way descent apology.

    They have the biggest donut holes and freshest kolaches at this location. You can see them making it through there glad windows. Such a wonderful location.

  • 1/5 Cindayy A. 2 years ago on Google
    Really bad customer service from the lady that attended us Hispanic lady with short hair caught an attitude because we asked what flavor donuts did she have available! Never going back there.

  • 1/5 Michelle G. 2 years ago on Google
    Older woman working night shift @8:35 pm Sunday Jan. 23 on the corner of Main and Temple is very rude, obnoxious and poor customer service! She cut into a conversation between my mother and myself and then started yelling at my whole family about nothing that had to do with placing an order or what we wanted to order. Instead of taking our order she insulted us. Shipley's needs to do a proper background check for their employees before they let them interact with their customers. This woman was very aggressive!
