If there’s one way to brighten someone’s day, it’s by giving them a donut. Plopping a box of donuts on the counter is a surefire way to become the most popular person in the room, and there’s one donut shop in Louisiana that’s a must-try. Today, we’re checking out Shipley Do-Nuts. Let’s do it:

Shipley Do-Nuts has been in business since 1936.

It all began when Lawrence Shipley Sr. created his own recipe and started selling his handcrafted do-nuts for a mere five cents a dozen. Shortly after, he opened up the very first Shipley Do-Nuts location in Houston, Texas.

If only those prices were still around today!

While the prices may have changed, the recipe hasn’t. They’re still making these donuts by hand every single day!
There are more than 300 locations across the country, including several in Louisiana.

Plain glazed is the most popular by far, but Shipley Do-Nuts has over 60 varieties to choose from, and they’ll tempt you!
