Customer Reviews

This place is better than Krispy Kreme !?? Love the Food ! BUT one of the workers there was ringing up my order...he literally left the register, , went to grab my Kolache with his BARE NASTY A$$ hands !! Didn't wash his hands Didn't wear gloves . My husband and I didn't realize it until we were in the truck. I didn't even eat it and had to throw my Kolache away ! Money wasted ! NASTY!!! DISGUSTING!!!!!

Great place for breakfast. People are very welcoming and nice as can be.

Overcharged us, charged us for person they rang up before us, our own order and possibly other items. Bill was over $40 for box of various donuts and a couple kolache sausage rolls. My husband was not given a receipt. He never complains but I complained to him when I saw our bank statement online with the amount paid. Ridiculous

Regular donuts nothing special, but they always try to upsell and overcharge and give things you did not ask for. Last time they gave filled donuts even though we didn't want them and it cost nearly 30 bucks for a box of donuts. I would not go here.

The best donuts I?ve found in a long time. So soft and fluffy. Great prices

Sunday morning at 5 am, got an apple fritter and a few donuts and coffee. I think there is an art to making a great apple fritter, and loved this one, crispy, and not doughy. Yum! Coffee was really good too!

Like it says, best donuts in town.

Formerly known as Shipley's. In my opinion this is the best place to go for a quick grab. I love their freshly baked glazed donut, can't go wrong with the, "OG", of classic donuts. If your in town, I recommend stopping by. I belive you'll be as satisfied as I was/still am.

The donuts are perfect and fresh everyday. The atmosphere is full of happy people. There is room to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee with friends and family or a convenient drive through for buscuits and gravy on the go. A little piece of heaven.

Best donuts I have ever had always fresh and delicious

Donuts were fresh. They filled my donuts after I ordered.

Asked if they had chocolate cake donuts and she told me yes I even told her the donut was chocolate we paid because I had gotten a dozen glazed they told us to pull around while they got the chocolate when they brought it to the car it was regular cake with chocolate icing took them back in and told them that they gave me the wrong donuts they were supposed to be chocolate they said they didn't have that kind after I had asked at window 3times I had already paid so it was a waste of 12$

I'm not a real big Shipley fan, but I picked up half a dozen here while I was in town and they were fantastic. Service was great and the drive through was definitely convenient during this time.

Great Little Rock classic, around forever for a reason! Very accommodating staff, so pleasant, selection of donuts extremely good of most every variety. Kolaches are great!

We bought the bacon, egg, cheese croissants for lunch. She warmed them up for us and they were great. Croissants just melt in your mouth!

Doesn't have an active phone number and will just close when ever they feel like it
