Stopped into Paula's on a Bills football Saturday, so of course it was busy -- but the energy just added to the charm. The moment you walk in, it smells like what I imagine heaven smells like. The display case is gorgeous, the decor is fun, and the whole place has that classic Buffalo comfort vibe. Customer service was friendly and upbeat despite the rush. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the size and quality of the donuts. I ordered the Bavarian cream, and it might genuinely be the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. Light, fluffy, perfectly filled -- absolute perfection. Paula's is a Buffalo staple for a reason. read more

Our friends who live here said, "Paula's has the best donuts in the world. For real. You have to check it out." We checked it out. It checks out. So good! And the staff was so helpful. The angel, the raspberry filled, the cannoli donut and the monthly fundraiser special "hamburger" donut were all incredible. I wish we lived closer! read more

I try local donuts on every domestic trip I take, and this stop is at the top of the rankings! They have amazing, unique donuts and strong coffee all at fair prices. I knew walking in this must be a fan-favorite place, They had so many employees hustling around on a busy Sunday morning. They worked hard and were incredibly helpful to a first-timer like me. The establishment was very family-friendly, too. I'd fly back to Buffalo to come here again! read more

A great location of Paula's Donuts! The inside has a good amount of seating and is very clean. They have some fun mini statues of their popular donuts, and a kids play donut counter in the corner, too. Huge selection of all the Paula's staples. There are plenty of options, and they're constantly bringing out fresh ones while you're there. It's hard to pick just a few to have! read more

I finally had a chance to stop into the Paula's Donuts on Transit Rd. since they moved out of their old location in Clarence and I really like the new place! They have a much bigger space now with a nice-sized seating area and plenty of parking spots! Stopped in on a Saturday around 11am and didn't have to wait at all to place my order! The young woman who took care of me was wonderful, very conscientious, courteous, so pleasant. I grabbed a variety of donuts and pastries but was on the more adventurous side that morning and tried their Donut Dippers, with five to six of their red velvet donut holes and hearty amount of cream cheese to dip into. I thought this was really good, I'd equate it to grabbing a six-piece chicken nuggets and a dipping sauce - Just enough food without leaving you too full. I would have liked to have seen the cream cheese a little softer as it was a tough to dip the donut holes into without squishing them. I'm not sure if I'd order them again, but if I were with someone I knew wouldn't finish their donut/pastry, I'd think of getting this to supplement whatever they don't finish. :) Paula's Donuts continues to be a Buffalo-staple for breakfast sweets. You can't go wrong with one of their red velvet donuts, peanut sticks, or Bavarian cream-filled donuts, or their cinnamon rolls! read more

I'd argue that there are ~5 Buffalo staples. 1.) you're favorite chicken wing joint 2.) you're favorite Beef on Weck 3.) chiavetta's chicken 4.) loganberry 5.) and Paula's Donuts Giant donuts. Always fresh. Great bagels and breakfast sandwiches. And good Black coffee. Always unique and tasty specialty donuts available as well, like the connoli filled. We love going on occasion. Support local! read more

Ok, I was a bit jaded before coming here. As Donuts of late are just tid bits. The Apple Fritter blew me away, it was like having a large slice of apple pie balked up fo enjoyment! No plates or forks needed. But then again I can be a bit uncouth when it cones to good food. I brought back an assortment of delicacies for my family. But rest assured, that fritter will be a must have when I am in Buffalo read more

If you haven't been to Paula's Donuts yet, you are seriously missing out. Hands down the best donuts I've ever had! The prices are super reasonable, which makes it even better. I stopped in on a Sunday morning expecting a long wait, but was pleasantly surprised--quick service and such a friendly staff made the whole experience even better. The filled donuts are absolutely incredible (a must-try!), but even the simple chocolate glazed ones were next-level delicious. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly made. 100% worth the trip--I'll definitely be back! read more

Terrific Buffalo-y experience. Great doughnuts, with a huge (borderline overwhelming for us uninitiated) variety. Everything was extremely fresh and I am struggling to name a favorite of the half dozen we ordered. Also loved all the photo spots and merch. It was busy but well staffed and customers were taken care of quickly. I'll definitely be back. read more

Another recommendation when in Buffalo... not what i expected though. Place is accessible but better drive instead of crossing the street bec the pedestrian lights don't turn on lol...there was a line when we visited but service is quick read more

I have used Paula's for catering a number of occasions and without fail the donuts and coffee are always a big hit. The donuts are huge ("grab a knife" has been uttered more than a few times) but Paula's concoctions are delectable. I particularly like the lime and lemon donuts. Being able to easily order box coffee is a huge help. Also being able to place an order five days in advance. Try that at a Dunkin Donuts! I only wish Paula's had a location near all my catering sites. read more

Busy, at around 8am on a Friday, but the staff was working like a well oiled machine. Half bringing in and arranging donuts, the other half taking and filling orders. The donuts were big, fresh, and delicious. Several tables for sitting and eating on site. Clean inside. Not overly decorated or loud. read more

This place is the real deal. I'm a donut slut and will always always ALWAYS look for the best donut spot whenever I'm in a different location Every single one of my friends and family members I asked all said the same spot for donuts, "Paula's" I'm typically a cake donut, not filling type of guy but this place I had to get the filled. When you walk in you'll understand why. I went in around 11 on a weekday right around 4th of July so it wasn't as packed as I expected to be but still there were a few people. They had about 4-5 people behind the counter and we're very fast with getting people in and out Inside was very clean, tables to eat at, and a statue for pictures Whenever I have friends coming into Pittsburgh I always make them grab me a few and make sure to try at least 3 different ones each time. You CANNOT go wrong with anything read more

This review shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Needed a fun, fast breakfast and Paula's was at the top of my list. We opted for some donuts and then I of course had to get a breakfast sandwich as well. The donuts were delicious as always. I tried a pumpkin donut as well. 'Tis the season you know. We wanted my son to try some as well and he loved the glazed donut so much! Super exciting. My breakfast sandwich was as great as they always are at Paula's. I got the sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. It's my standard breakfast sandwich order and it didn't let me down. The whole sandwich was prepared perfectly and it didn't last long on the plate. Whether you're looking for donuts or an always reliable breakfast sandwich, Paula's is the spot. read more

Took me forever to stop in the new location that is right near my house ... but today I opted for sugar and caffeine to fuel me through doing my taxes! I also had a coupon for free donut with beverage purchase ... always check your mail for coupons because Paula's sends a lot! Anyway, today was a Sunday and it was quite busy! But despite this, service was as fast as me being the only one there! They have ample employees to service the number of people which was pretty impressive! I got the powdered angel donut and iced cap (this only comes in one size which is 16oz - and you will tell them with or without whipped cream). I am sorry I didn't get a snapshot of the menu or donuts but there were so many people and so many employees calling you over I got a little distracted and was just trying to hurry I guess! If you get something other than a donut, like a drink, you will move to another area that is also designated for online orders pick up. There is seating so you can dine in or take out. I liked the cute donut characters around the place. read more

Was so happy to visit this new Paula's Donuts location. It's so shiny and BIG. Plus, added bonus, it's pretty close to my house. We stopped in and picked up our favorites. I got the custard cream filled donut, and my husband ordered the apple fritter. Their apple fritter is kinda legionday. Super huge, though I realized my picture didn't do it justice. There's plenty of seating, which is what was missing in their last location. Next visit I'll have to try a breakfast sandwich. I hear they're really good.

Every time we travel to the area Paula's Donuts is an absolute MUST. They are the very best we have ever, ever had in our travels from east coast to west coast and everything in between. They put ALL the competition to shame! The variety is unbelievable and whatever selections you make, they are always fresh, have lots of cream or filling and an amazing bit of crunch when you take a bite which is my favorite part of the donuts. I love, love, love the coconut, chocolate, red velvet donut holes!! Each and every donut is PERFECTION ! read more

Paula's Donuts sent out coupons to some special recipients and I happen to be one of the lucky ones. I cut the coupon out that said if you buy a coffee you get a donut and made my way to the closest Paula's location, which happened to be the one on Main Street in Clarence. I waited under 3 minutes for someone to take my order and after visiting another donut shop in Dubois, PA and commenting on how their peanut butter cream donut was enjoyable, I was delighted to learn that Paula's has peanut butter cream donuts that are even more amazing than the place in PA. The coffee is good too. I normally go with peanut donuts, but I'm glad I mixed it up this time and got the peanut butter cream. I rarely have a craving for a donut, and it happens about once a year, but I'm so glad Paula's is there to satisfy my cravings. The service is great and the employees are always pleasant. read more

Paula's Donuts - Peanut butter cream - Donuts Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Stopping in the buffalo area you have to stop at Paula's donuts. The are the best donuts ever. They are leaps and bounds better than Dunkin or hortons. We happened to stop about a half hour before they were closing and I was so excited to see they had so many options left. We have never visited this location but since we had just been at bar bill this was a perfect dessert and we bought some for breakfast. We opted for vanilla glazed, peanut butter cream, birthday cakes, peanut filled with cream and a Bavarian. Last order was two cannoli donuts but that I didn't get a photo of. Cannoli donuts are special order so they actually fill them when you order them.. that is amazing. The employees were friendly and nice. The donuts are pricey. 9.00 for a half dozen but you get exactly what you pay for. The donuts are perfection. If you get a filled donut it is completely full and to me that is a good thing it isn't just all donut and no filling. read more

Did someone say donuts??? We got some donuts this morning for breakfast. We went about at 8:30 it wasn't horrendously busy thankfully. We were quickly serviced. Our donut lady seemed like she didn't want to be there but that's okay. We were in and out. The atmosphere is still sort of bland when you walk in. They do have cute donut statues though!! My favorite donut I think is either sour cream glazed or chocolate glazed. Needless to say, I can't wait to have a donut for breakfast tomorrow. read more

Stopped in today and had a very nice Coconut cake donut with coffee. Tasty and relaxing. The ambiance is rather sterile as compared to some coffee shps (not talking about the corporate monster Starbucks) but it is pleasant enough. Note never give 5 stars unless it is an epiphany. People give 5s way to often. read more

Paula's Donuts are huge and delicious. I go out of my way to get these donuts when I'm anywhere in the area

We spent a long weekend in Buffalo, and were driving around the area, and just happened upon this location which I knew about from my office, which orders catering from here periodically. I knew I had to stop in and give them a try since I'd heard so much about them over the years, and it did not disappoint. We walked in and it was a much larger location than it appeared to be from the outside. The staff greeted us and we looked over the offerings, which were clearly labeled with small markers. We opted for 2 donuts each and I went with Bavarian creme and pumpkin. Both were delicious - and they definitely have a cake consistency. The pumpkin had a subtle spiced flavor, which was nice since it wasn't overwhelming. The Bavarian was filled to the brim with creme. Overall: A Great donuts, and I can see why they have a local following! read more
