Compared to other kolache places in Texas, I agree.

But their kolache in Metairie is legit, only because there are no other places with decent kolaches here.

Kind of like how you Texans like Razoo and Papadeaux, which is trash.

Their donuts are like heaven in your mouth. Since they arrived in Metairie, I haven't gone anywhere else for donuts. The consistency of the dough is just delicious.

In think they sprinkle their donuts with a little crack.

No doubt. A fresh Shipley's is the KING of donuts.

One of the few areas Atlanta lags in is donut places

It's so weird to me that Dallas has a random korean/vietnamese donut shop on every corner and Atlanta only has a sprinkling of chains and a few one-off expensive local places

The kolaches are not good. They are all dough.

Them not being able to sell cake donuts outside out Texas is pretty fricking dumb.

The glaze are good fresh. However KK’s donuts keep better all across the board.

Got some donuts from Shipley’s at 3-4 on a Saturday. They were terrible & stale. I assume had been sitting most of the day.

KK are not bad even after sitting over night. Not sure what kind of processed crap keeps them edible but they are better

Shipleys is a below average traditional style donut

Way below average


I tried them when they moved here in Old Metry



Bakers Dozen here in the nola area, and Mary Lees from back in BR are far superior


Bakers Dozen is class too. They will never give you a glaze that isnt hot and fresh.

I'm not a huge fan of their kolaches. I prefer Kolache Factory over Shipleys when it comes to kolaches.

Shipley’s doesn’t taste as good, nor are they always fresh

Pretty big difference to me. They are in line with crappy arse tastee


ETA: I really really wanted to like Shipley’s, because Bakers dozen doesn’t have a high chair. But it just isn’t comparable. I’ll keep eating with the kiddo in my lap
