Shipley Do-Nuts — Restaurant in Waco

UPDATE #2: I love their hot glazed that if you go early enough are still fresh out of the production line… and man, they are like angelic crack rings you need to place immediately on the ring finger of your heart so you can marry that fresh, hot, just slightly crispy edge, glazed that still dripping with your stomach’s heart for an explosion of taste and so much goodness.

Yes, even when inflation makes these beauties $1.10/piece, they are worth it when they are hot… not warm… not warming… but hot so that you start to devour them as you drive off realizing you may have to hide the evidence.

And the folks there are now just friendly and nice. I’m sure I’ll be bumping this review up to 5 stars again. They are moving in the right direction for sure!!

Update: When the owner calls you because he's genuinely cares about people's experiences and because I've had good experiences in the past, I will re-evaluate them. I will immediately remove the 1-star rating and be neutral till I get to go in again. I'm hoping I get to put 5 stars back and not 1. I have loved their staff for the past 3 1/2 years, so I'm hopeful I just went in and experienced the perfect storm of bad customer service.... because they're hot donuts are like rings of goodness that should be illegal to buy. LOL.

What happened? They moved, and then they lost all their customer service and the people that used to be able to help you quickly. I walked in and the person in the drive-through hadn't even moved while two people in front of me walked out after not being served. I left shortly after when both of the people behind the counter made some unkind remarks about...

I love their donughts. This is the place if you like filled doughnuts. There are so many fruit jellies plus 3 creme and custard in vanilla and chocolate.

The sausage rolls are delicious as well. Though not a huge selection like out in west or at a Czech bakery.

The sausage roll is Jim Dean breakfast sausage. The bold is a hotdog style sausage. The ham and cheese tastes like a hot pocket in a yeast roll. While the bacon is tiny crunchy bits of bacon. The jalapeños do have a good kick for American spice. All are heavy on the cheese but too light on the egg.

Items sell out and are not restocked unless you buy in bulk. So order exchanges and “mistakes” are common.

My favorite is the chocolate creme, a chocolate doughnut with marshmallow creme filling or any rolled in nuts. My husband loves the cinnamon twists. I prefer the sausage over the bold as the breakfast flavor goes better with coffee & doughnuts. I also love the ham and cheese and wish they had a ham, egg,...

I usually have a good experience at this location, but not today. I placed my order for 2 dozen assorted donuts and paid. When asked if there was any kind of donuts that I did not want, the employee helping me was obviously irritated with me that I did not want filled or cake donuts. She said..."You do not want filled OR cake donuts?! Next time, do not order assorted donuts, you need to order them a different way!" What in the world!!!! I have ordered assorted donuts before and was asked what kind I wanted, and I was not chastised for not wanting certain kinds nor was I told that I ordered them wrong. If I had not already paid this morning, I would have left and gone...
