The donuts are delicious!!!! This was the FIRST time my husband and I tried a Paczki donut that was recommended by our Uber driver and he even stopped us here on the way to the train station and it was sooooooo good! I am not lying when I say that this was the BEST cup of coffee we have ever had! We are all the way from Texas!! If you are in the area, definitely stop in!

Yelp. Went to Frankie's, y'all done sold all the donuts and opened 25/8? Well, that's what the sign says, but where are the donuts. Its 3:00 pm! Regular glaze? Out. Chocolate? Out. Well, I will take the bow tie and a red velvet cake donut. Now, this bow tie thang is moist and good. Cake donut is okay. You are delicious. Lady at the checkout, you could smile, since y'all out of stuff! I think a smile would make me at least feel better. We came back! Now, I see you neutral to the locals too. Cause, I sense attitude from this lady in the back. Girl, I'm from out of town, learn to give every customer love cause these donuts are mediocre. Y'all already know, Imma leave it.

Some great donuts! I went around 11pm and was surprised to see they had a ton of fresh donuts available. The donuts themselves were delicious too. I ordered a chocolate glazed and a peanut. Very good donuts.

Hey Frankie...what's the secret ingredient?! These donuts really hit the spot. When planning our trip to Niagara Falls, Frankie's made it to the top of our list with it's impressive menu of sweet doughs. Our first trip (yes there were two), we got an assorted box of 6...I think my boyfriend and I could agree we liked all of them besides one. Not too bad of a ratio, right?! There was no way we were leaving town without bringing a box home, so we got a dozen...they were that good. Didn't hurt that the establishment has a "buy 2, get 1" donut deal that seems to be offered daily. Additionally I tried the BEC on a roll...I'm more of a savory gal in the AM. I don't know if they make the rolls in-house or what, but it was amazing! And so was the sandwich, as a whole. Now for the store front: you walk in and it just has that small town vibe. Quite small, but also semi-blocked off for covid safety. 2pm Regulars chatting it up over coffee. It's what you'd hope to expect from a shop that's open "25/8."

Looks like a place out of the movies of a local joint because that's what it is, a local joint. The service was a bit slow, they were not very busy. The pizza was stunning and the donuts are mostly cake style which is my favorite, top shelf.

The cream filled and covered in coconut was my favorite. Cream was light and so was the donut. The toasted coconut covering it was the perfect touch. Boston cream was also good. Perfect place for homemade style donuts.

To be honest I went here because Paula's Donuts was closed Early. Well i started googling best donuts in the Buffalo area i found frankie's it had a good rating so i went there the area was sketchy but ill tell you they got the best Donuts that every had in Upstate NY. It was a bit unorganized but once was i tasted that donut All the ill feelings had about this place went away. I would definitely recommend this place for nice fresh donuts of different assortments.

Red velvet !

Love that they are open 24/7 (25/8)! Great coffee and a huge selection of doughnuts. Went with red velvet today and a giant coffee. Piping hot, the way that I wanted it to,and incredibly fast service. Pizza is my weakness, so I also love that I can get a slice at any hour of the day. Yes, pizza for breakfast is ok too! Have to try the breakfast sandwhiches. They have your traditional styles but they serve them on kaiser rolls!

Absolutely the best donuts I've ever had. Small quaint place. Breakfast sandwich and the bagels were very good. The coffee was great too. I wish I had one of these back home.

Paula's Donuts helped heal me after surgery - seriously. But first, a few words about the best…read moredonuts in the United States. I feel confident that statement is true. These are not featherweight, boring, drive thru chain donuts that never fail to disappoint. The box says they are "made with love" and while I certainly hope the bakers and makers are not oozing affection for the creations as they do their job (because that would get weird right?), the recipes and standards of ultra high quality that this unique WNY establishment has sure shows a respect and appreciation for their customers. The dough is light and never greasy tasting. The cream fillings are also fluffy and airy and melt in your mouth. Jellies are all top notch and let me be clear, the donuts are packed full with whatever is inside. Or on top. The headlights are incredible. Peanut butter offerings (several to choose from) are stellar. I'm not sure if the chocolate icing is a ganache but it seems much more like a ganache than the lousy, dried out icing you might find at places we need not mention. Staff are always courteous, polite and fast. I think each donut is going for about $2.30 but well worth it for the size and quality. A box of 3 is heavy to hold. You get a lot of donut for your buck. I've been on a Paula's kick for a couple months, stopping in when appropriate for my donut desires but trying to be mindful of my waistline. I like to sit down and really enjoy every bite. These are not ordinary donuts, they are an experience to savor. But how do Paula's donuts help one recover from surgery? It's about what you might do with them. My friend picked me up and brought me home after the hospital and slyly produced a bag of donuts for me, which I sat down and ate the minute I walked in the door. The unexpected gesture of something I've been enjoying a lot lately certainly took my mind off any discomfort. Nice friend, right? Part of recovery is having supportive friends and family and I'm glad I've got that. And I'm glad I also got a bag of donuts to make a "rough day" a lot better. So, Paula's people - I haven't tried them all yet so I guess I'm going to have to return. (Image is different donuts from a different day.)

The donuts are fresh and great quality. They appear the same at all Paula's locations. They're huge…read moreand have lots of filling The service is great and friendly staff
