My family is sitting at Paul's bakery in the Rome Train station. I asked Siri if there were any in the USA. There are 2. One in Fredericksburg VA of all places. Great service here in Rome. We will make the trek down from Alexandria VA where we live to Fredericksburg to check it out. read more

Located of a main road tucked in a nondescript shopping center you'll find Paul's Bakery a hidden gem in the Fredericksburg area. Inside you'll find a very cozy mom and pop shop where you can find all sorts of treats from pies cakes cookies and especially donuts. I was sent this location from someone in the area for a request of donuts but when I got there I decided to try a little bit of everything. Donuts are delicious and taste fresh and their chocolate chip cookies are very good with the homemade feel. Service is exactly what you'll expect where the clientele are asking for the owner by name. Definitely recommend if you're in the area read more

What a great way to start your day when you're retired! The maple walnut is heavenly! Luv luv Paul's Bakery! read more

Delicious donuts with a friendly smile at a dry warm and inviting location that smells like sweet dreams. Ordered dozen donuts and highlight that any specialty donuts such as the maple bacon donut come with a small upcharge to the dozen but very much worth it. The lady attending us was very patience as we were just trying to pick it all in our dozen but never rushed us and ensured we got all we wanted. Ordered my coffee and she also advised it comes with a complimentary choice of glazed or cinnamon donut holes that made it that much more sweeter. Absolutely a must if you're in the area and a stapleton in this community. Happy to have stopped by and try this location. read more

Went to Paul's bakery today, Friday @ 12:45 and they are completely out of doughnuts....wow I thought it was a bakery.,,I think they should have made more! Terrible customer service!! read more

Not bad at all. Love the bacon maple. Need a few more exotic types but enjoyable. The eclair was ok, tried as in New Orleans we perfected it. There was almost no crème filling. Disappointed in that. Very dry. read more

This place is phenomenal. Super friendly staff, delicious donuts. Super fair prices. 10/10

Chocolate frosted donut with sprinkles is amazing. My granddaughter loves them. Their birthday cake was soo fresh and delicious. Will be getting all our cakes from Paul's now. read more

We pre ordered 36 cupcakes for our parents 50th wedding anniversary gathering. These cupcakes were so delicious and very squishy. I added different color edible glitter to make them all sparkly and added the toothpick 50th anniversary signs. The cupcakes were ready for pickup on time. Ordering wasn't the easiest process because we wanted to make some changes and customize the flavors. There were something's we wished we could change but the pick up was smooth and on time. People know Paul's bakery and have been a staple of the community for many many years. read more

The most delicious donuts ever. They're so soft and fluffy and that chocolate frosting is like a dreamy pillow of goodness. Even the frosting is fluffy. Idk how they do it, but it's delightful. My mom bought all the apple fritters they had today, which was 11. She planned on getting two dozen, but we came later in the morning and that's all they had left. She also got two brownies and two cream filled donuts. I also got two brownies and two cream filled donuts. The cream filling doesn't really taste like anything so that's the only complaint but who cares when the rest of the donut tastes so good. Service is very friendly and the shop is always clean. It smells like yummy baked goods. We always make it a point to come here whenever we're nearby. read more

My family has been going to Paul's for about 10 years for our weekly Friday "Donut Day". When on travel, we try the rest, but come back to the best. Definitely worth a small detour off I-95 to this Fredericksburg institution. read more

They are the best in their business. Hands down. Each donut could stand alone in competition with any other peer donut and win!

"Why did I not visit sooner?" Please ask yourself this question once you check it out because I sure did after visiting Paul's. Situated in a non-descript plaza, this bakery is a hidden gem that takes you back to the olden days. Most donut shops these days throw lots of stuff onto their donuts but Paul's keep it real: plain, dipped, filled. Nothing fancy, just outright delicious donuts. The place is busy, so get ready to order as soon as you walk in the door or step to the side because the folks behind the counter want to keep things moving. There's plenty of parking and they are closed on Sunday and Monday. They open super early and close early, so definitely watch the time. Public service announcement: buy a dozen and take them to work; your coworkers will thank you. read more

OMG if you live in Fredericksburg and have not tried Paul's bakery, you are definitely missing something! These donuts are by far the melt in your mouth, kind of donuts, no matter what kind you pick or what time of day you go in. I have been coming here for years and ordering cakes when my boys were little for their birthdays and the pies and the eclairs and the pastries are phenomenal. There is nothing in this store that I would not recommend. Even their coffee is amazing! read more

I tried this bakery for the first time today after reading reviews online. Those reviews are definitely true, the bakery is wonderful and has super pleasant employees working behind the counter to assist. Once the young lady realized it was my first time, she took the time to explain different offerings in spite of other folks in the shop waiting in line to be serviced. That was something I really appreciated. I settled on my two donuts for my first visit and was pleasantly informed that my glazed donut was free as a first time customer! I will say the glazed donut was amazing and I have every intention of returning to try some other items. I'm looking forward to trying the buttercream filled glazed donut next! read more

Some of the best donuts and the best eclairs I've ever had. The staff is excellent their cakes. They are the best anywhere around you will not be sorry. read more

Solid donuts and solid prices. We were given fantastic and great service from Deana. We got a dozen for around 14$. The donuts I had were the Oreo donut, cinnamon donut, glazed donut, and the honeybun donut. The Oreo donut was pretty good, the cinnamon donut was interesting, the glazed donut was solid & tasted even better when warmed up, and the honeybun donut was pretty mid. read more

Fresh baked donuts every morning, no skimpy on fake ingredients. If you want a cake, buy theirs always fresh. Cookies are baked everyday

Delicious donuts and you won't be disappointed if you purchase from the bakery!!!!!!!!!

I was looking to grab a quick donut and coffee at a local bakery in Fredericksburg, VA before a two-hour drive home back to Norfolk. After a quick search on Yelp I came across Paul's Bakery, and after seeing their rave reviews and that they had a check in offer for a free donut, I knew this was going to be where I was stopping before my departure back to Hamtpon Roads. When I pulled up I could barely find a parking spot, and when I opened the door to enter, the line wrapped around the bakery. It was at this moment that I knew these donuts to be fire, and I decided to order a dozen to bring back home to my family. Whew chile, these donuts are life do you hear me!? The Oreo, bomb ... the Lemon, bomb ... the apple cinnamon, bomb ... and the original glazed, yes gawd honey, you guessed it, BOMB! The donuts here taste like miniature funnel cakes just without all the extra grease, just tasty! Moreover, I was able to snag a dozen, an extra free donut with my check-in offer, a large coffee, and six free donut holes for ordering a large coffee for just a little over $13, quite a steal tbh! Listen to me, Paul's is going to have to be a go-to spot for coffee and donuts anytime I'm traveling to (or through) Fredericksburg. And from now on if you try to tell me that Krispy Kream has the best donuts, I'm not even going to try and argue with you, you're just going to get slapped mid-sentence. Okuuuurt!? read more

This review is for the donuts and donuts only! Absolutely recommend. I'm from PA and just about every time I come visit my sister I get these donuts!

We recently had our first visit to Paul's Bakery, and now we're hooked. We've tried the donuts, cake, turnovers, and today, we bought a chocolate silk pie. Everything we've purchased there has been fantastic! We highly recommend stopping by Paul's and trying out their selection. read more

Stopped by this gem yesterday afternoon. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Sadly, no picture of the donuts we got, they were so light and airy and delicious! I did manage to get a picture of the eclair. They are my favorite and it's hard to find a good one. A lot of places are skimpy with the filling, but not these. They were so delicious and one of the best Eclairs I've had. If you haven't tried Paul's Bakery yet, you are missing out! read more

Seriously the best bakery in town... custard eclairs are to die for!! You know they're always fresh because they do not last the day!!

FXBG's BEST bakery! Our daughter and son in law served an assortment of Paul's baked goods at their recent wedding reception. Our guests were very impressed and happy with the good old fashioned bakery vibe!! Highly recommend them. Service was outstanding (Brittany is outstanding), and we enjoyed every crumb!! My personal favorite was the coffee crumb cake and a fan favorite was the cookies n cream doughnut!! Can't wait to visit them again soon. read more

Paul bakery is a family-owned business . Their pastries are amazing . I recommend going in in the morning when everything is fresh and tastes amazing . I got 2 dozen donuts for my kids school and everyone loved it . I recommend this business . read more

I have travel all over the country and had donuts in many places. Paul's dough is always fresh and the toppings are great.

Very fresh donuts. I highly recommend the cinnamon sugar! They have a lot of other baked goods aside from the donuts but I haven't tried anything else yet. You can get a dozen donuts for $10.50 which I feel is a reasonable price! Although they have all the popular donuts, I was hoping for a little more variety. Local donut shops are always better than chains. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Paul's bakery is my go-to spot! When you want a tasty donut that is not overly sweet, but it still satisfies the crave, Paul's bakery is your place. Not only that, the people are super friendly!!! I love the chocolate custered fill, jelly filled and lemon filled. ABSOLUTELY delicious. If you ever want to do an office treat, you will be asked,"Where did you get these donuts?" read more

Smells fantastic! I only try their donuts from time to times, I can not eat too much the sugar. Delicious

I'm glad I found this place after I went to Mary Wash bc it would have been alot of added lbs. A LOT. The rhubarb strawberry pie is life changing. The rhubarb is still chunky and not stringy. If you like rhubarb, you know how important this is. The donut holes are bomb too. As I shake my fist to the sky, that pie y'all. Get the pie. read more

After hearing so many positive things about Paul's Bakery I stopped in to take a look at their offerings and pick up some. They have the typical flavors, with their Maple Bacon being the most popular (as such, they said it costs $.50 more, each). I chose 6 to take home and ate one separately, which was their cinnamon cake donut and it was AMAZING! Service was decent and prices are decent too. I'd return! read more

Oh, Paul's Bakery. You were my first bakery love, and will always hold a dear place in my heart. My first experience with you was your fabulous donuts, at my first job (so many firsts!) in high school. The little cakey donut with chocolate buttercream and walnuts was always mine, and everyone knew they'd better not touch it! Really, though, Paul's is forever tied to my teen and early adult years. Besides the donuts which I looked forward to every Friday, when I moved out on my own, visiting the bakery to pick out a few goodies was always a special treat, and soothed the homesickness from living all alone when my family had moved across the country and my mom could no longer bake me sweets. Then, when I got married, I wanted Paul's to make my wedding cake, but (the one bad thing I can say about them) they were unwilling to make the specific sizes I wanted, and I ended up having a whole dessert table (because duh) featuring their brownies cut up like petit fours with little flowers on top, crème horns, and their raspberry jelly-filled donut holes. This is a true old fashioned bakery. You're not getting any fancy cakes here. They are buttercream (in my opinion some of the best) with flowers and that swirly piped edge. Sometimes isn't that just what you want, though? You do have a variety of options, although go in the morning because by afternoon it's slim pickings. Besides cake and donuts they offer several varieties of pies, eclairs, crème horns (get them!), elephant ears, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, muffins, and I think maybe bread sometimes, but I can't remember. Their prices are ridiculously cheap, and service is generally good to great. Sometimes they seem a little snippy when they are busy, but it's never been enough to bother me. On my most recent visit the two girls working were very patient as I struggled to narrow down which sweets were an absolute necessity. Just go! read more

Paul's Bakery - Their donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

What a fun place. Yelp check in=free donut! Go early if you can. They were out of a couple things by 12. High quality pastries and donuts. The jelly donut holes were still available, they were SO GOOD! The jelly was typical (I wish it was homemade) but the dough was incredible. Slightly crispy on the outside, even after the powdered sugar, and so soft in the middle, not dry at all. Good ratio of jelly to dough, this is very important! The cinnamon sugar cake donut was delish, granulated sugar in this case, one of my faves. Birthday cake by the slice-oh yeah! Great amount of frosting, yellow cake with white frosting, the sugary frosting, A+. Other things in the case looked great too, I got so much I had no room for the eclairs but based on how they looked I would tell you to get one. Everyone was really friendly, decent prices, no seating so it's all to go. read more
