Shipley Do-Nuts opened its first Bastrop location Sept. 23, according to a company representative.

How we got here

Owner Sam Chen previously told Community Impact that he spent five years searching in Bastrop before he found the perfect spot.

The 1,660-square-foot shop along Hwy. 71 near Walmart, he emphasized, is prime real estate for doughnut enthusiasts.

“I used to live in the area, and I love the area, which is why we’ve been trying to open a store over here,” Chen said. “It’s a completely different environment than Austin.”


The details

Lawrence Shipley founded Shipley Do-Nuts in 1936.

The location in Bastrop is walk-in only and offers menu items, including a variety of donuts, kolaches and coffee.
