Shipley's Donuts

Shipley’s Donuts on Park Row in Pantego, TX. Shipley’s Donuts originated in Houston, TX and has been making delicious treats since the 1940’s. This location is very small and may not look like much to the eye, but it is a small wonder. We had gotten four donuts to give a try (even going around 9am is a little late; there was a small selection due to the morning rush). First we had gotten the Cherry Glazed donut which had deliciously soft, sweet, airy dough with a bright red frosting that tasted of tart and sweet cherry icing. I loved that the cherry flavored icing didn’t overpower the sweet dough. Next up was the cherry jelly filled donut (I have a soft spot for anything cherry). The donut was lightly glazed and had the same dough consistency as the others, sweet and airy, and was filled generously with sweet cherry jam. By generously filled I mean oozing with sweet cherry jam, it was still delicious! Next up we had gotten the Bavarian crème. Delicious! A copious amount of crème inside that was so creamy and sweet! Definitely a must have for all Bavarian crème lovers! Lastly, we had gotten a basic chocolate glazed donut with sprinkles. This donut was lightly glazed and had a great taste with the sweet dough, though the chocolate on it was nothing spectacular, and somewhat lacking a chocolate taste. D is definitely not a fan of the sprinkles on this donut either. Overall with the wonderful customer service at this location, and the donuts taste, I rate Shipley’s a 4.85 outta 5! – A & D
