Shipley Do-Nuts, a classic no-frills Texas donut shop known for fresh, handmade treats and kolaches, is coming to St. Pete.

The chain will open at 4946 4th Street North in a space formerly occupied by Starbucks, which closed in late 2025 as part of a nationwide initiative to shutter stores lacking drive-thrus.

Shipley’s offers more than 40 varieties of donuts alongside kolaches, a beloved Texas pastry made with fluffy, slightly sweet dough and stuffed with a variety of savory fillings.

Shipley’s donut menu centers on its classic glazed along with a wide range flavors like chocolate, strawberry, cherry, vanilla, and maple, as well as varieties paired with sprinkles, coconut, or nuts.

There are also a selection of filled donuts, with creams and fruit jellies, alongside denser cake donuts in flavors like buttermilk and blueberry.

Shipley also has donut holes, apple fritters, bear claws, and cinnamon rolls.

On the savory side, Shipley offers nine types of kolaches, including sausage, ham, eggs, cheese, and/or jalapeños.

Kolaches originated in Central Europe, particularly in the Czech Republic, where they were traditionally sweet pastries filled with fruit, cheese, or poppy seed.

They came to Texas in the mid-1800s with Czech immigrants who settled in Central Texas and brought their baking traditions with them, eventually becoming a staple across the state.

Shipley also serves a lineup of coffee-based drinks, including hot brewed coffee, cold brew, and iced or blended espresso beverages like lattes and frappes. Matcha and chai lattes are also available.

An opening date has not been announced for the new St. Pete location, which will join neighboring businesses H&R Block, Pride Wax & Med Spa, and Nail Zone and Spa.

Shipley Do-Nuts stores are typically open daily from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The upcoming location will be Shipley’s first St. Pete storefront and second in the Tampa Bay area. Last year, the doughnut franchise opened an outpost on Ulmerton Road in Clearwater.

The new store will join the nearly 400 company-owned and franchised shops located across 13 states.
