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
Taylor F.

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.

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.

Bacon donuts and other selections
BA W.

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!

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.

a display of donuts and pastries

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.

The very best egg sandwich in WNY by far. Bread, muffins…read moreand cookies are fantastic. Location a bit tight with only street parking. They could do a better job of getting rid of the political BS in the front window. Other than that it's definitely worth the trip.

I took a little walk to grab lunch and decided to try their vegan Björk sandwich. I honestly…read moreexpected to have to go home and add some sauce or seasoning, but I was pleasantly surprised. The seitan really surprised me with the texture and taste, and the sandwich was packed with so much flavor. It was way more filling than I expected. They make their own sourdough in-house, and it really takes the sandwich to another level. I also tried the peach basil hand pie (not pictured), which was a first for me because I'm not usually a sweets or pastry person. It was too cute to pass up, and I'm so glad I tried it. The filling-to-pastry ratio was perfect, not too sweet with a nice glazed crust on the outside. I didn't get much basil flavor, but overall it was still really good. I heard they switch up the flavors often, so if you see the peach basil one, grab it before it's gone. The staff was really friendly this time around. Everyone was warm and welcoming, and I loved the small-town feel of the bakery. I can't wait to come back and try more. 9/10.
