Shipley Do-Nuts (Dallas/DFW)

About

Shipley Do-Nuts, the iconic Texas chain that started in Houston before World War II, has over 300 locations across the state and remains the gold standard for simple, no-frills Texas donuts. The plain glazed is so light and fluffy that getting a warm one fresh from the fryer is a transcendent experience. The Dallas Observer sums it up: 'These are priced to move — simple and nothing fancy.' Their apple fritters are legendary, their cake donuts have a cult following, and kolaches round out the classic Texas donut shop experience.
