A Donut for the Ages<\/h2>\n

There’s something about our\u00a0original Shipley glazed donut<\/strong> that can take you to a higher plane of donut heaven. On one hand, there is the satisfaction of\u00a0biting through that thin layer of sweet glaze into a warm, gooey doughnut.\u00a0On the other hand, there is the\u00a0unique taste of sugary sweetness meets fresh baked\u00a0bread. The combination of the two make for a very powerful experience. We’re not saying that it’s the fruit of the gods, but almost every life-long, devoted Shipley customer will tell you that it comes in\u00a0a close second.<\/p>\n

\"LawrenceMaking Life Delicious\u00a0since the Great Depression<\/h3>\n

Our original glazed donut goes back to the original recipe of Lawrence Shipley Sr., circa 1936.<\/p>\n

Looking backward, it is no surprise that a tasty, inexpensive treat, such as this doughnut,\u00a0emerged as one of the many cures to the Great Depression. Unemployment was still at 17%, but America was getting back some much needed momentum. American track and field superstar, Jesse Owens, dominated Hitler’s ‘Aryan Supermen’ in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Plus, this year also marked the completion of the Hoover Dam (originally named the ‘Boulder Dam’). We can’t prove that our original doughnut recipe single-handedly raised the country’s spirits, but it had a definitive role in American, particularly Houstonian life. With so much hardship in the economy and culture, the Shipley original glazed donut was needed to help make life delicious once again.<\/p>\n

Comfort Food at Its Best<\/h4>\n

Our original Shipley donut can be summed up in a single word: satisfaction. Whether you want just one or several, this donut leaves you feeling, whole, loved, and satisfied.<\/p>\n

Plus, if you’re looking for\u00a0culinary craftsmanship, we approach doughnut making as\u00a0an art form rather than a labor. Although we need to make our donuts in large quantity to meet the great demand, we handle each batch with painstaking care. Our donuts don’t just need to look great, they have to\u00a0taste great, too.<\/p>\n

Although we can’t provide a legal, watertight guarantee for it, we’re pretty sure that our original glazed donuts can bring a smile to almost any face. Don’t believe us? Next time you see someone having a bad day, just drop a warm, fresh, Shipley donut down in front of them. (Gently, please!)
