"I absolutely love Shipleys. It has always been a staple for breakfast growing up. Whether it's a half dozen, or a dozen we have never been dissatisfied. From the customer service to the overall experience you are sure to leave happy and full. Typically restaurants who have been in the community for a long time & always have the same menu, never adding variety. Shipleys always has a way of trying new things. One can always appreciate the cleanliness of the store as well as the fast accommodating service. Shipleys has always stayed in the ever growing community even with competition right next door and I believe it is heavily contributed to their customer service and overall freshness in every order. I highly recommend making it a staple in your household too! Thank you Shipleys!"
