Shipley Do-Nuts — Restaurant in Ridgeland

⭐☆☆☆☆ – A Donut Shop Without Donuts (Or Dignity)

Welcome to Shipley's, where dreams go to die and donut cravings go unanswered.

I’ve visited this place more times than I care to admit, clinging to the faint hope that maybe today they'll have the actual donut I came for. Spoiler: they never do. Ask for a simple glazed? “We’re out.” Boston cream? “Didn’t make them today.” Jelly-filled? “They’re really popular, so we run out fast.” Translation: We don’t actually stock the things we claim to sell.

It’s like playing the world’s worst slot machine — you keep pulling the lever, hoping for that frosted ring of happiness, and end up with a stale old-fashioned and a side of disappointment. Every. Single. Time.

Let’s not forget the staff, who greet your polite inquiry with the enthusiasm of a DMV clerk on their third double shift. No apologies, no alternatives, just a bored shrug and a dead-eyed “We’re out.” It’s honestly impressive how consistently underwhelming this place is.

The only thing more absent than the donuts is any sense of customer service or shame.

Avoid this donut shop unless your kink is being let down...

Have always liked Shipley's. I went to the Ridgeland location on 1/16/20 @7 am to get donuts to take to work for everyone. I ordered 1 dozen consisting of 6 glaze and 6 chocolate iced, 2 cream filled and 1 order of beignets. I pulled around after paying to await for donuts after 10 minutes went inside and they hadn't started on beignets and said be 5 minutes so I didn't have time so I asked for money back for beignets and left with the rest I ordered. Upon getting to work the donuts where terrible. They tasted old and cold. At 7:00 a.m. in the morning they should not be old and cold especially for the price they charge. Sad this...

Vegetarians - check your Kolache!! I placed an online order and added an Egg & cheese kolache which I’ve never had before. My husband ordered a bacon egg and cheese. On one you could see bacon so I gave him that one and took the other. Bit into it and it was full of sausage!!! The phone number on the receipt went to the owner, he was apologetic and offered to replace it but didn’t seem to understand why it was an issue. I explained I haven’t eaten meat in almost 15 years so eating it would make me sick and he still didn’t seem to see why it was a big deal. We will still get donuts here but I will not be trusting the kolaches...
