    a parking lot with cars parked in it
    Maria B.

    Holy Smokes. $2.30 for a doughnut wow that's all I got. Well, that and easy parking.

    Looks like I found another must have when in Buffalo. These are very delish donuts!! They are fresh and so so soft. They were brought in for our work event, and I had to stop and get some to bring home. The service was very nice, they even let you taste one if you're unsure. The inside is very clean and there are plenty of seating. I will definitely make this a stop when in town.

    Smaller Paula. Nice design inside. They have parking in front and back of the store. They have few tables, so you might not have a seat if visit ok busy day. Donuts options are similar to other locations. I bought 4, and 2 of them might be smaller size compared to other Paula store. Bathroom is locked and needs key from staff.

    Nice location with friendly staff and fresh food. The breakfast combos are nice even if you don't want all the food. Get a breakfast sandwich and bring a bonus donut to a friend! The coffee is served fresh and hot. Lots of parking, as well as tables inside. Great choice if you're in the area.

    Peanut stick, sour cream glazed with edge missing

    I love Paula's however I did not love this location. The peanut stick was really dry like it was a couple days old. The sour cream glazed had half of the edge of the donut missing. This is not the Paula's that I know. I will avoid this location next time.

    Bacon donuts and other selections

    Service and of course the donuts! I've been here 4 out of 5 days of being in town and I cannot go back home without a dozen of the donut holes! Bacon, egg and cheese croissant is mouthwatering!

    This location has indoor and outdoor seating. We came around 1 pm on a Saturday and it was quiet with almost all of the donut flavors still in stock. They really have so many favors to choose from, but since I love their peanut cream donut, I just got that.

    I have eaten donuts all over the country and until today the Old-fashioned sour cream at Dandee's Donuts in Florida (Atlantic side) had been my favorite. Paula's are thicker and more flavorful than any old-fashioned sour cream donut I have had. The red velvet was also excellent and the density and texture were perfect. The chocolate angel cream filled donut was very similar to those at the Donut Hole in the 30A area in Florida (gulf side), BUT Paula puts twice as much filling in hers, and therefore it is twice as good in my opinion. I wish I had tried more donuts, but four is about the most I can handle at one time! My son had the chocolate iced version of the chocolate angel cream filled doughnut, and he thought it was amazing, but for him, it was so much filling that he could only eat half of it at one time. However, I personally loved all of the filling.

    Delicious and unique as well as original options to choose from. Fast and friendly service. Prices are amazing. The boxes travel well too if getting many different ones.

    Cute place..it has that old donut shop feel to it. We came for the donuts. They had a good variety of donuts. We got glazed twist, red velvet, cheese filled , Boston cream and fried cinnamon. All of them were fresh and delicious. They were moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. They next day some hardened a little but still good. Don't think they would last one more day. The young man behind the counter was so nice, very helpful and happy to help. .

    Coconut custard
    Rachel S.

    Great local donut shop! Quick service and very clean seating area! I was worried that it would be crazy busy at 8:20 on Saturday morning, but we either beat the rush or just missed them! We got coconut cream, coconut custard and glazed cinnamon to go. The coconut cream was simply the best donut I ever had! We're just traveling through Buffalo, but I could see this becoming your go-to if you lived in town

    Sour cream old fashioned
    Rachel G.

    I feel like a monster writing this, but I found Paula's Donuts lacking. I saw online that the sour cream old fashioned made Alton Brown cry with joy, so I had to try that one, and ended up getting a red velvet old fashioned, too. I found the sour cream donut to be so saturated with glaze and sugar and oil that it seemed not just dense, but under/unbaked. The texture and flavor were off for me. Alternatively, I don't really like red velvet as a flavor in any food items, but the bake was significantly better, and it didn't have the greasy sugar-bomb density of the sour cream one, so I guess I preferred it--a real surprise for me. Maybe I would have faired better with a filled or specialty donut? Or maybe this is the nature of reputations--they can create unrealistic expectations? Or maybe it was an off-day for ol' Paula? Guess I'll have to visit Buffalo again and give this place another shot in the future. Aside from that, the service was friendly and I was served quickly. The place is spacious inside and I think saw some outdoor seating, too. Plus that fun donut statue outside seems like a great photo op!

    I had never been to this Buffalo location before. I was craving a cheese doughnut. I was rushing to get to work on time found out this location was relatively close in proximity to my immediate location and I took off like it was a race. . Anyway it a smaller location. It appeared very clean. I walked in and was serviced immediately by a very nice young lady who's in the pictures I took. I got the cheese and the toasted coconut cream. . When I say I was satisfied. Babbbyyy I was all too satisfied. I was in and out in record time and I raced against the clock back to work. I plan on going back today after this shift is over. I made the mistake of going to famous doughnuts yesterday in an attempt to save a buck and stay in the general area. SMH. It was not horrible but I like what I like. I like Paula's.

    I would say that it's overrated because everything is so huge. It's fairly good but I say go to Market on the Square

    BOOZY CUPCAKES. Sounded interesting to me! Pop-up at the Broadway Market, box of 6 for $28. Iirc,…read morethey are $5/ each. They had six flavors: sangria - fruity, wine; honey whiskey - topped with a Biscoff; piña colada - not pictured because I skipped that one; mojito - lime and rum; black forest - chocolate cupcake with boozy cherry; peanut butter whiskey - also a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Presentation and toppings were all really lovely and looked delicious. Super creative concept all around. Most of the cupcakes were yellow or white cake, the rum, whiskey, and wine were noticeable but not strong. So you knew they were there, but not overwhelmed. Some people might actually want them to be stronger! The flavors in general were subtle but clear. The frostings were all pretty light and pleasant, which is nice. I know there's a lot of people who really like dense buttercream and cream cheese frostings and for whom cupcakes are a frosting delivery vehicle. These are not those. Plenty of rich and delicious frosting for the cupcake but not too much. The cupcakes are not following the super sized trend; they're a nice cupcake sized cupcake. This makes it easy to rationalize eating two at a time because, um, you wanted to compare flavors. Yep, that's totally why. I liked all the flavors I tried, but was surprised that my favorite was the chocolate peanut butter and my second favorite was the mojito. Only comments would be there's some variability as to the moistness or dryness of the cake part, and the filled ones could use more filling. The people at the pop-up (I forgot to ask if they were the bakers/ owners) are really nice and happy to answer any questions or customize an order. As you can tell by my substituting an extra black forest for the piña colada. They'll be back at the Broadway Market for Dyngus Day!

    Great for parties, events, or gifts! Available pick up or delivery, to bring to your event or have…read morethem cater.

    Just received these as a gift and our entire family is blown away by the quality and taste of these…read morecookies!!! 10/10 and we will be looking to buy these at every occasion!

    We discovered Cuccidati Inc. at last weekend's fresh-air Valentine's Day Market at Buffalo Artisan…read moreFood Traders. Cuccidati Inc. had a booth at the event ... and they had me at the word "cuccidati". :-D LOVE these cookies! If you are unfamiliar, cuccidati are iced-and-sprinkled fig-filled Italian cookies. They're like a soft, delectable, gourmet, top-shelf, high-class, prettier Fig Newton, but way better, haha. Whenever I see an Italian cookie spread at a gathering, I always b-line for dibbs on the cuccidati. And Cuccidati Inc.'s cuccidati did not disappoint! These were a bit different from cuccidati I've had before. They weren't quite as sweet, not as thick-white of an icing as usual. And the filling seemed more natural, like more purely fig, as opposed to the more artificial extract flavor of some cuccidati. I do like the creamier cuccidati filling I'm used to, with more of a jam consistency. But these were good too, you could feel chewy bits of real fig fruit in each bite. If you prefer a cookie that isn't too rattle-your-teeth-sweet, you will probably enjoy Cuccidati Inc.'s cookies very much. We spoke with the owners when we were at the fresh-air market, and they were very sweet and friendly. They of course bake their namesake, but also bake many other cookies too. They don't have their own storefront, they sell by order, or at local venues and events. They are on the shelves at Buffalo Artisan Food Traders (https://www.yelp.com/biz/buffalo-artisan-food-traders-buffalo), so if you have a hankering for some delicious cuccidati, stop by there to grab a pack. Or check Cuccidati Inc.'s Facebook page for other upcoming local appearances - https://www.facebook.com/cuccidati.org - and mangia! :-D
