    Back in NY for a visit and First time visit to the new location. This is a mandatory stop when in Western NY. THE BEST Apple fritters ever. AND the cannoli donuts are to die for!! Friendly staff and always a line because the secret is out!

    Great homemade donuts with excellent friendly service. Large selection of donuts. Very reasonably priced. Ample parking and large customer walk in area. Very clean tables and storefront

    Strawberry Shortcake Donut! Get it
    Tammy R.

    The Strawberry Shortcake Powdered Donut was the best Donut I ever had! So delicious! The second was the Cannoli Donut. Parking can be tricky as every time I've been here, it's been full. I can see why!

    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!

    Variety of donuts!

    Please, please, please expand to Atlanta! Best donuts in the world! Though Parlor are also very good! Paula's are amazing, huge and reasonably priced old school donuts. Yum!!!

    Donut Dippers - Red Velvet Donut Holes w/Cream Cheese
    Clark S.

    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!

    I absolutely love this donut. They were out so the beautiful people in the back made me one fresh! Always fantastic service. Go Bills

    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

    Oreo donut

    My expectations were high but their donuts are lousy. Quality is not good. I ordered specialty donut oreo but it was sloppy. Attached is the photo from their website versus the one I got.

    Really creative and amazing donuts. The staff was super friendly and all the prices were very reasonable

    Jennifer D.

    The new location is great. Very spacious and you can see the counter of donuts better to order when you're uncertain what to get. The donuts are so good we travel here frequently from Rochester. Getting GameDay donuts today! Go Bills!!

    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

    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.

    The only thing better than a peanut cream from paula's donuts would be if they made a peanut chocolate cream.

    Was checking out a few Chandler Street businesses on a Saturday morning and visited Logan's Bagels…read more I've been here before and also bought their bagels at the Kenmore Farmers Market and they sure are delightful! It was probably around 9:45am when we entered. I noticed that there were a few varieties of bagels in the wire bins and I proceeded to order a cinnamon raisin and an everything bagel. I was told in a completely condescending manner that the two everything bagels were needed for an online order. I said well I'm an in-person paying customer and you're taking my order right now, can't you give me one of those? She said no in a rude and nasty tone. The other employee asked the baker when other batch of everything bagels would be ready and she said 10 minutes. So I asked, why can't you wait or why wouldn't you wait for the bagels that were to be done in 10 minutes to fulfill the online order, which mind you I saw written on the brown paper bag in black marker was for 10am pickup?!?! Again, in a derogatory tone and manner she told me no! She never apologized, never offered any alternative to the solution and was completely out of line and refused to sell me an everything bagel. Not sure if she just woke up late (her appearance was quite messy, disheveled, and scantily clad) and rolled out of bed on the wrong side of the bed or if this is her pessimistic attitude all the time!?!? No customer should EVER be treated in that manner and I'm completely appalled! Needless to say, I paid for my one cinnamon raisin bagel and grabbed my bag and left. She made a snide comment to me as I was walking away under her breath. We visited a couple other businesses on that floor and walked by on the way out and she was loudly talking about my friend and I. SMH! Unreal! LOL! I'm glad I was the highlight and topic of her conversation all morning! So unprofessional and completely unnecessary! Needless to say, I WILL NOT be returning and it's too bad because I do think their bagels are top notch!

I ordered the Britney: smoked salmon, onion, cucumber, and lemon scallion dill cream cheese on a rosemary salt bagel. The second I opened the wrapper I was hit with the smell of fresh rosemary, which immediately sold me. Flavor-wise, this sandwich was lovely. The smoked salmon tasted fresh and paired perfectly with the lemon scallion dill cream cheese. The cucumbers added the right amount of freshness and crunch, and the bagel itself had beautiful flavor. My only issue was the texture of the bagel. It was very hard, and toasting it unfortunately made it even tougher. Every bite turned into a bit of a balancing act because the sandwich kept falling apart. Still, the flavors were strong enough to make up for it. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I'm excited to go back again. Definitely won't wait years next time. 7.9/10

    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
