Shipley Do-Nuts

We like to stop in on our way to Little Rock. The food has always been pretty good. The service is not very friendly tho. We were the only ones there and the two girls up front were having a conversation in Spanish, we felt like we were interrupting them. No smiles or welcoming attitude and they kind of tossed our bags of food at us. Not very pleasant at all. Its too bad because they have alot to offer for a quick breakfast.

The people are nice, but I went early in the morning to get 2 blueberry donuts and when I got to work to eat them, I gagged. They had an after taste like the grease used was very old to the point where I had to quickly wash my mouth out with anything else to get the taste to leave before I puked. I've gone there once before and it was ok, but I'd think that early in the morning it would have been fresher. Disappointed. Not to mention a moth was flying in the display case with the food and when I told them, they opened it up and brushed it out after watching it land on some of the pigs in a blanket.

I ordered 4 donuts in two varieties. And one was misshapen and stale, the other under cooked. I used the drive-in and the menu is not visible when ordering, so unless they are busy and there is a line you don't really have a chance to review the menu. The server who took my order didn't seem to understand my coffee order, a Carmel latte, I believe there was a language barrier. I eventually gave up on the coffee and just got the donuts which were not overly expensive but of disappointing quality.

Good food but this isn't the place to make you feel special. They are down to business and if you slow them down you can see their impatience. But like I said, they make good food and get it to you fast.

The prices are affordable, the service is great, the location is convenient, and the food is always hot, fresh, and handed over quickly. They have a convenient drive through and the option to go inside. Whether you are in the mood for donuts or kolaches, coffee or croissants, this place is a great option in the Batesville area. Their extended hours ensure there is plenty of time to stop by and find the treats you love! Give this place a try! ☀️
