Shipley Do-Nuts — Restaurant in Houston

To Owner,

Please post on your website that customers are not allowed into the donut shop after 12pm.

I took a Lyft to your donut shop yesterday, Aug 30th, around 1:30pm. I was disappointed to find the doors were locked and there was a sign stating, “Please use drive thru after 12pm.” I’ve attached a picture of the sign on the front door of the donut shop. This was my first time to this particular donut shop. Your store is open until 8pm according to the website so I was confused. I tried calling the store but nobody answered. Finally, I saw an employee in the store and she signaled for me to go to the drive thu window. I met her at the window and asked her why the inside closes at 12pm? She tells me she doesn’t know why but that it’s store policy. I wanted to dine-in so that I could enjoy my donuts in the air conditioning and relax. In the end, I decided to eat next door at another restaurant.

So why do you not allow customers inside your donut...

As for the donuts, I myself ordered a kolache to go with mine (plain sausage and simply delicious), and a small maple iced (which I have no complaints about). For the service, everything was relatively quick and easy. The atmosphere was nicely adorned and was all that it should be. The only complaint I can make was about the warmth of the food, or really the lack thereof. All in all, this Shipley's location is an ideal breakfast stop that I can see myself...

Come on, it's a Shipley Donuts. It is clean and then make donuts that are tasty. Just an update to my earlier post, still Shipley Donuts, still tasty! The staff is exceptionally friendly, or have been every time I've been there. I grew up with Spudnuts, for which there is no comparison, but if you like colacci's at a reasonable price to go with your Donuts this is an exceptional place to get them. And they make enough that they don't run out by 7 in the morning, almost every other place besides Kolache Factory that I've been to does. Give these guys shot! Keep them in our...
