Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
You're looking at a true guilty pleasure here. The chocolate iced is a specialty of the Shipley's at 3932 North Main. It's a donut that is sugar glazed and
thendipped in chocolate. A lot of Shipley's skip the glaze -- "too sweet," they say -- but you can always get one at the North Main location. Kudos to my neighbor and long-time Heights resident, Russell Neel, for the tip.
On Saturday, the crew turns out boudin-stuffed kolaches. They do go fast so best to get there around 9 a.m. -- Jay Francis
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
