    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

    Fresh coffee comes with a few glazed or cinnamon donut holes.

    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.

    Cupcakes!

    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.

    Got a half dozen assorted donuts and they are incredible! Service was exceptional! Such a local gem :)

    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.

    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.

    "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.

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

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

    New to the area, and what an amazing experience!…read more From the outside, the restaurant looks smaller than it actually is, but once inside, it's surprisingly spacious with a warm, traditional Sicilian atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. Our waiter, Jack, was an absolute superstar. He was knowledgeable, attentive, funny, and incredibly helpful with our selections. He truly made the evening special. We started with the calamari and a salad with goat cheese, walnuts, and pomegranate unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it, but it was absolutely delicious! The complimentary bread served with their infused olive oil was outstanding and worth mentioning on its own. For our entrées, my husband and I both ordered specials the Lobster Ravioli and the Halibut. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We also enjoyed an excellent red blend wine. By that point, we had enjoyed enough wine that I completely forgot to take photos of the specials! We finished with the cannoli special dessert, which was good, though not quite as memorable as the rest of the meal. Most of all, we can't thank Jack enough for the great service, laughs, and overall experience. It's rare to find food and hospitality that work together so perfectly. We'll definitely be back very soon!

    I heard this was a good place in town. Overall not impressed, probably wouldn't return…read more Parking: street parking downtown Reservation: they like you to have one but you can get in without Seating: inside and outside area. Outside area is cute Food: the complimentary bread and oil was really good. The appetizer was just ok. The pasta Left a LOT to be wanted. I've had different levels of pasta and this was a solid 4/10. Presentation was beautiful, but the taste and texture was not good. I did not even want to finish it and I'm a fatty. Service: wonderful, some of the best service I've had.
