Shipley Do-nuts

I go there for a Boston cream donut and their apple fritters have apple pie filling. They're always fresh and the coffee hot and freshly made.

They're great Doughnuts, if a tad small.The pictures of the prices tell a wonderful story. 90 years ago a dozen cost 5 cents. In 2024 money, that's $1.10.Today they're $14.49..... that's a 14% average yearly increase every year since December 2018, when they were $8.59. I don't think they've gotten larger or more delicious. I know inflation has been ridiculous, but 69% is way beyond the inflation rate for that time-frame [22% . They ought to be $10.49 (look up inflation calculator).

Let me first say I ordered these donuts days in advance online to be ready in the afternoon. I assumed with the amount of time given to have them ready, they would have been prepared enough to make them look presentable. I was so very wrong and very disappointed. The glazed donuts didn’t look so bad which is why I gave 2 stars, but the donuts with icing/sprinkles looked like they had a child make them with finger prints and a tiny amount of sprinkles. I had my husband pick them up and take a picture before he left. When I received the picture I was livid and of course had to call to complain because my husband refused to complain. The lady did not understand that all I wanted her to do was replace the few that were really bad and provide better looking ones. She did end up hanging up on me and told my husband she would just refund us the money. It all worked out for us in the end because we rushed to Dunkin’ Donuts and ordered the same amount of donuts and they had them ready in 10 minutes. This was for a school function so of course I needed donuts that looked good. Thank you for the refund shipley’s, do better.

Donuts and kolaches. If you are looking for these things, this is the place. Always fresh, always delicious. The only adjustment I would ask for is larger sausages in the kolaches (fatter, not longer), but thats just me being picky. Try for yourself and I'm certain you'll enjoy it.

Ordered a cinnamon roll because they looked like what my gran used to make. Instead I received a naked roll with a few walnuts on top—no icing, no cinnamon sugar.
