Shipley Do-Nuts — Restaurant in San Antonio

Best early morning when the donuts come out piping hot and the icing is just rolling off the donut after being ripped because they are too hot for the icing to harden. Yummy! This is a Shipley's but actually owned by the family who runs it. They work very hard to meet the expectations of Shipley's lovers. And they have also become a staple in our little city within a big city. Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills residents alike visit this location on weekends to make Saturday mornings special for the whole family. Especially after the Mules stomp the fields on a Friday night. My favorite are the apple fritters, the raspberry filled with icing, omg the piping hot donut holes is my absolute favorite since I was knee high to a grasshopper, and the original plain old glazed donut. Don't fret if you don't like my favs. Stop by and try them yourself and make your own list of favs. Did I mention they have kolaches and other breakfast sandwiches? The kolaches are good but when I go I'm going for donuts to satisfy a sweet craving. When your sweet cravings hit head over to Austin Hwy. and try Shipley's (Across from Whataburger & next door to Papa John's). They have indoor tables if you want to sit and eat there. On weekends there is a line at the door sometimes leading out and around building, but it moves fast, really fast actually. No mask is required to enter, they serve soft drinks, tea, coffee and juices, clean restrooms, clean inside and outside of establishment with wheelchair accessible entry and exit and there is plenty of parking including handicap in...

I love my Shipleys. This "new" building they are in has done everything to make a great donut stop into the best version of itself.

The store is always clean and bright with adequate seating for guests who prefer to indulge before they drive away. For guests who are in a rush there is a drive through for convenience. Orders can also be placed in advance, for individuals or groups. Great for meetings, celebrations or church events.

There is no chance of getting stale pastries here either as it is all made on site daily. Come for the donuts or try their kolaches or croissants. Be sure to add drinks to your order too. Their house brand coffee has been highly recommended to me but I prefer their iced coffees. Thery also offer fountain drinks and a variety of bottled juices and milk.

For all the years I have been patronizing this particular Shipley's, I have not ever met a grumpy employee. All the staff are friendly and willingly interact with customers. They also recognize their regular customers with a smile - and sometimes have 'the usual' ready by the time the customer reaches the counter.

In a nutshell, I moved outside of San Antonio eight years ago and still make it a point to stop at THIS store any time I find...

I grew up with this Shipley's and have tasted other Shipley's locations from the outskirts of SA to the rolling hills of Tennessee. I can assure you this is the best Shipley's I have ever tasted in my life. The glaze is perfection. The size is outstanding. Still under a dollar a donut, you can walk out every time feeling the sugar satisfaction that is unique to the donut experience. Plus, their kolaches were the best thing since sliced bread when I was a kid. While I'm a fan of all Shipley's, this is by far the best of all of them I've experienced. My favorite is the chocolate filled. The filling is legitimate chocolate icing, thick, gooey, and oh so sweet. They also offer the zebra iced which many other locations do not. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a treat that will...
