Stop here before work at the Casino. The girls are so quick and pleasant!
When I moved to Lake Charles, and asked for donuts Shipley's was the first place people spoke highly about, and I can certainly see why after going a few times. Today I went and ordered a bearclaw, a bullseye, a glazed donut, a sausage and cheese kolache, and a Thai tea. Starting with the weakest, the sausage and cheese kolache: so flavorless and forgettable, way bready, barely any cheese, and the sausage is subpar. Just overall very forgettable, not bad, just bland. Next the donuts, I almost never get a bearclaw, but I really enjoyed it, I believe they warm up the donuts right before they serve them which definitely helps with the whole experience. Thirdly, the bullseye, a donut I've never seen at any other donut place, and I 100% recommend it, it's basically a chocolate glazed donut, sprinkles, and instead of the hole in the middle, it is a small bowl filled with cream. I don't want to look up the nutritional facts of it, but it is something I have ordered before and will order again. Finally, in my opinion the best surprise is their Thai tea. I used to frequent a Thai restaurant in Atlanta specifically for their Thai tea and it was one of the many things I missed after moving away; however the Thai tea there is so similar and delicious, I would go to Shipley's just for their Thai tea. My only complaint, if I could nitpik it, is I wish it had less ice, but also was colder, like I'd prefer if maybe it was premade in a cold fridge? But the fact that they make it fresh to order is a charm of it though. TLDR: Great donuts and Thai tea, don't recommend their kolaches but not bad. 5* I will be back!
Not impressed, after 12 noon doughnuts tasted stale and didn't have fresh coffee on hand won't be back
Best donuts ever!
Drive thru was quick and food was good.
Beignets good
Great spot for donut and kolache lovers
Loved my pigs n a blanket. I like hers better because the whole meat is covered. The jelly filled are delicious also.
Got donuts, holes, and cinnamon rolls at 6 am and everything was cold. Really disappointing didn't know I needed to ask for everything to be warmed up.
Great service, clean space! They were quick and donuts were fresh and kolache was served warm as should be! Sweet people work here!
Never fails to disappoint. Thought I would give them another shot, maybe the handful of other visits were just bad timing. It was 6am, the donut HAVE to be fresh, right? 😑 They were not. They looked to me to be yesterday's donut. My hometown had a Shipley and their donuts were always just the best. Which is why I SO wanted to enjoy this Shipley, plus it's otw home but I honestly can say that I've been disappointed at every visit to the one here. Will not be happening again. I should've went to Dippin Donuts 😮💨
Good service but it's hard to beat a nelson donut
