Iconic Texas brand brings kolaches to Northern Virginia; now serving up fresh, handmade donuts
HOUSTON, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shipley Donuts, the nation’s largest brand of fresh, handmade donuts, kolaches and coffee, has opened its first shop in Vienna, Virginia, at 256 Maple Ave. East, bringing its famous glazed donuts and savory Texas kolaches to Northern Virginia.
Founded 90 years ago in Houston, Shipley offers more than 40 varieties of fresh, handmade-daily donuts, including its signature glazed donut, which is cut into its iconic hexagon shape then carefully glazed to sweet perfection.
At the heart of every Shipley shop is a working bakery, with bakers arriving at 3 a.m. to make the first batch of fresh donuts and kolaches. Guests can taste the difference with Shipley’s Hot Glazed Guarantee that offers glazed donuts served warm until 10 a.m. every day.
Shipley is also introducing Northern Virginia to its famous Texas kolaches (kuh-LAH-cheese), a savory handmade breakfast sandwich made with fresh dough and hearty fillings like sausage, egg, bacon and cheese baked right inside for a satisfying breakfast, lunch or snack. Shipley kolaches are available in several varieties, including Sausage & Cheese, Plain Sausage, Ham & Cheese and several Egg & Cheese-filled options, such as Bacon, Egg & Cheese.
The new shop will offer a full coffee menu including its Shift Starter, a hot drip coffee, and espresso-based drinks like the Classic Glazed Latte featuring glazed donut flavor, cold foam and donut crumbles, plus lattes, mochas and Americanos, all available hot or iced.
“As Shipley Donuts expands nationally into markets like Vienna, we’re sharing our 90-year tradition of making life delicious by doing things the old-fashioned way and expertly handcrafting everything we serve, every day,” said Shipley Donuts CEO Flynn Dekker. “Once our Northern Virginia guests have a taste of our fresh, handmade daily donuts and famous savory kolaches, they’ll understand why Shipley is a beloved Texas tradition.”
The Vienna, Virginia, Shipley Donuts will be open daily from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m.
