    OT: Starkville Shipley?s

    Is it the worst donut shop of all time? In my opinion without a doubt yes. Shipleys as a franchise are some of the finest donuts around but I don?t think I?ve gotten anything that was even remotely lukewarm from the one in Starkville in the past 7 years I?ve been here. Anybody else have a similar experience?

    Yep. I went there when I first got to campus in 2011 as a student, never went back. Place is a dump. The one in Meridian now is far superior.

    I remember when there was a Shipleys in Gulfport back in the 70's. Best donuts around back then.

    To be fair, lukewarm Shipley’s donuts beat the hell out of most others.

    I like it. You have to get there early to get them fresh, but i haven't had a bad doughnut from there. Some haven't been fantastic, but none just straight terrible.

    This!

    Also, visit somewhere outside of MS and bitch about donuts why don't you....I'd trade quite a lot for the luxury of having access to Shipley's up here in Mass. Nothing but cake donuts up here, and they're absolute ass.

    A Shipley's recently opened around the corner from my apartment and my wallet has hated me ever since. And Shipley's beats Krispy Kreme and it's not even close. In fact, Shipley's beats everywhere else.

    The original one in Columbus (1960s) was a must stop with my date...later my wife....before taking her back to her dorm. In the 80s the one in Greenville was just as good. Later, got to patronize the one in Horn Lake. Never been disappointed in Shipleys.

    I agree with this. Like I said in my original, Shipleys are hard to beat. The problem is that everytime I have given them I try I am talking like cooked hours ago cold donuts. Every other one I have been to is A++++, Starkvilles is awful though imo.

    Shipley's is by far the bets donut. I'd take a 2pm leftover Shipley's donut over a Krispey Kreme straight out the oven.

    Krispey Creme is equal to the McDonald's entry into a best Hamburger contest. It's a literal joke.

    You definitely have a lot of experience when it comes to McDonald's.

    I grew up on the two Greenville Shipley's, so I was happy to still have it when I came to college. The only comparable donut I've had in MS is Tatonut in OS. They're good, but I'm not as nostalgic on them.

    This is correct, the one in Biloxi was also the best. Krispy Cream started out great but has gone downhill for a while now.

    Im glad everybody in here can agree for the most part that Shipleys are the king of donuts. HOWEVER, it is a shame that Starkville is home to literally the worst one in America. Also, I've been seeing some post about the Greenville Shipley's and as someone who spent a few years working in the city. They might not have much, but that is the golden standard for a donut I dont care where you go in the world. Rumor has it that its the delta water that adds to them but who the hell knows.

    Shipley here in Oxford SUCKS ASS.

    The locally owned community donut shop here blows them away.
