Shipleys was meh.

The only donut shop that I've been to that does it all right (coffee, donuts, kolaches) is Babe's in Bryan.

I'll be sure to go an hour and a half out of my way to work next time it's my turn to bring in donuts to the office.

Shipley is a front for some kind of drug operation.

There's no way that many people eat donuts all day. The one on Ella has a drive thru line into the evening that often spills out into Ella.

This hits harder than the Whataburger sale for me.

Yeah, big Queen donut fan here.. I was going a little more than I should have, so decided to mix it up one day and went to the one at 11th and Shep.. welp, got caught, it is the same people that own Queen and "Hey, boss" recognized me...haha. But nothing like a late night run to crack Shipleys on Ella for a "dozen" donut holes..

Queen and Hughies next door is a good combo.

If they screw this up, I am gonna be pissed. Shipleys has done a good job locking this city's donut scene down. Might as well roll out the welcome mat to Dunkin. Hell, lets just open up a Stan Makita or some bullcrap from California where they put avocado on everything. No changes seen at Whataburger so far, but Academy has gone to crap.

Given that this is the internet, one could take that a number of ways.

Your comment on Dunkin was one of my first thoughts and add in Krispy Kreme. Generally both have failed here and Shipley and to a lessor extent mom and pop Asian places are the reason as they have a stronghold in their local communities.

Recently watched 'The Donut King' which is a docu/movie about the donut explosion in California led by a Cambondian refugee. Pretty interesting insight on how Dunkin and Winchells interacted with them.

They own a ton of land off of N Main near their big operation there - basically all of the property/houses around it. Hopefully it will now be sold and developed into something cool.

I was pissed when my go-to Asian run donut place closed down, but pleasantly surprised when it was replaced by another Asian run donut place with owners that cared about keeping it cleaner.

The chocolate glazed on Main is the best damn donut anywhere. I've never seen it anywhere else.

Please don't sell it to Tillman. Please don't.

The reason Dunkin can't get a foothold here is because their donuts absolutely suck donkey balls. Krispy Kreme just overextended and couldn't get motor through when the hype wore off.

These Austin clowns better not try to Austin-up Ship's donuts. Keep your vegan hipster BS in Austincisco. We want our donuts with animal fat, extra GMO, and sweat-shop eggs.
