Shaughnessy's Bakery in Sibley, Iowa probably isn't on your radar yet, but it
totally should be! This locally-owned bakery about an hour and 15 minutes northwest of Sioux
City has tasty donuts, pastries, cakes, pies and more and I'm excited to share
the full details:
Where is Shaughnessy's Bakery?
Shaughnessy's Bakery is located at 346 9th Street in Sibley, Iowa next
to the Max Theatres. There is street parking in front of the bakery, in front of other 9th
street businesses, and just around the corner. We accidentally visited right
before they had a town parade, so most of the parking was taken, but we were
able to park on a side street and just had a very short walk to the bakery.
Shaughnessy's and the rest of Sibley's cute main street are all just off
highway 60, right on the way from Sioux City to Worthington, MN and other
points north. It's about an hour and fifteen minutes west from Sioux
Falls, SD or about 45 minutes east of Okoboji, IA.

including cinnamon twists, long johns, and classic glazed or frosted donuts with
sprinkles

They also have donuts holes, and the day I went the flavor out was chocolate
cake donuts. Shaughnessy's also sells cinnamon rolls, caramel rolls, and apple
fritters, plus other breakfast pastries like Danishes. They all looked so
good!
I ended up buying a box of chocolate cake donuts, a half-dozen assorted fresh
donuts, plus a day-old apple fritter (they were out of fresh ones, but I
really wanted to try some), and they were all so good, including the apple
fritter. Their day-old fritters could seriously beat most places' fresh
fritters.
My favorite donut that I personally ate from Shaughnessy's Bakery was a
blueberry bismark. I love jam and jelly filled donuts, but I've never had one
with blueberry inside before! The apple fritter was also really good, and my
kids gobbled down the classic donuts with chocolate and maple frosting and
sprinkles. Everything we tried had a really light and airy texture, which is
delightful but expected in the yeasted donuts, and surprised us in the best
way when we bit into the cake donuts! I'm a pretty good cook but I don't even
know what they could've done to make those cake donuts so delicious! I'll
definitely have to research this mystery more next visit.
My only regret with the donuts from Shaughnessy's Bakery was that I didn't
order more. Next time I visit on the way north, I will plan space in the car
to bring some loaves and some leftover donuts with us to the lake in
Minnesota!

flavors

Shaughnessy's Bakery isn't just the best donuts in the Iowa/Minnesota border
area near Sibley and Worthington. They also carry homemade bread items that
would be great all day long. Some of the options on the day I visited included
croissants, hamburger buns, dinner rolls, and loaves of bread including wheat
sandwich bread, rye bread (this would be so good in a Reuben!) and more. And
it all smelled so good. I will definitely buy some of this next time I'm
there. Shaughnessy's Bakery also serves delicious baked goods ideal for
desserts later in the day including homemade pies, cake, and cookies.
