Shipley Donuts is stirring up mornings with its boldest treat yet: the Cold Brew Donut. Just in time for National Coffee Day, the Houston-born chain has unveiled a donut that doubles as a caffeine fix. Yes, you read that right, a donut that perks you up while satisfying your sweet tooth.
This limited-time creation takes Shipley’s iconic buttermilk cake donut, coats it in the signature glaze fans can spot from a mile away, and infuses it with the smooth, bold flavor of cold brew coffee. The result? A treat that’s half dessert, half pick-me-up, and fully irresistible.
Donuts that give you a buzz
Move over, energy drinks, Shipley just gave caffeine a glow-up. Each Cold Brew Donut carries 56 milligrams of caffeine, about two-thirds the amount in your standard 8-ounce coffee. That’s enough to brighten your morning without tipping you into over-caffeinated chaos.
It’s basically a built-in excuse to say, “Yes, I’ll take another.” One donut? You’re energized. Three donuts? You’re unstoppable. Six? Okay, maybe share those with friends… or don’t, we’re not judging.
A coffee lover’s dream combo
Coffee and donuts are already a match made in breakfast heaven. But combining the two into a single bite? That’s some next-level innovation.
“Cold brew has become a daily go-to drink for so many people, and for National Coffee Day, we wanted to create something special that combines bold coffee flavors with our fresh, handmade donuts. This isn’t just a donut, it’s a delicious energy boost that perfectly blends two morning essentials our guests already love.” Flynn Dekker, CEO of Shipley Donuts.
Translation: it’s the treat you didn’t know you needed, but now can’t live without.
Mark your calendars, donut fans
The Cold Brew Donut makes its grand entrance on Friday, September 26, and will only be hanging around until October 10. Two weeks. That’s it. After that, it’s back to regular glazed programming.
Prices are just as sweet as the donut itself:
- $1.99 for one
- $5 for three
- $9.99 for six.
Affordable, snackable, and caffeinated. Basically, breakfast goals
Free donuts? say less
Shipley is also sweetening the deal for National Coffee Day on September 29. Loyalty members get a free Cold Brew Donut or the beloved Original Glazed with any coffee purchase.
The catch? Supplies are limited, so set your alarms early. This offer works in-store or online, as long as you scan your Sweet Rewards loyalty app.
Not a member yet? This is your sign. Sign up, snag your donut, and maybe keep an eye on future perks. Freebies taste better anyway.

This launch is another reminder that Shipley isn’t just a nostalgic donut shop, it’s a powerhouse brand. With more than 380 locations across 14 states, Shipley has been serving fresh donuts and kolaches since 1936.
And they’re not slowing down. Ranked No. 121 on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 and crowned No. 1 in their category, Shipley is proving that donuts still rule the breakfast game. From holidays to just-because days, Shipley’s got the donuts.
Coffee, donuts, happiness
The Cold Brew Donut isn’t just about food, it’s about fun. It’s about celebrating mornings, making coffee breaks a little sweeter, and reminding us that donuts are more than just treats. They’re tiny moments of happiness.
So, will this caffeinated creation change the donut game forever? Only time will tell. But for now, it’s giving mornings the glow-up we didn’t know we needed.
