    Cannoli donut
    Jenna R.

    My husband ordered us breakfast from here this morning, and it was great! I tried the cookies and cream ice cappuccino, and it had the perfect balance of flavors. The breakfast sandwich I chose was the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. It was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing! The only thing I managed to get a picture of was the cannoli donut, and holy cannoli was it delicious! We did an online order and he had to wait a bit to get everything because they were so busy, but it wasn't a bad wait at all!

    The cannoli donuts was absolutely filled to the brim with chocolate chippy cannoli filling. SO GOOD

    wow, Wow, WOW, WOOWOWW! I ate a lot of delicious things on my trip to Buffalo and Niagara, but if there is one place I could rip up by the foundations and move straight to North Carolina, it would be Paula's Donuts. I originally discovered this place when writing an article for Yelp about the top 25 most unique donuts in the US. In my research, i discovered they have a CANNOLI DONUT. I have wanted one since... just never had occasion to be in Buffalo. Well I finally made it. I finally had it. And it was everything I wanted it to be, maybe more! There was so much delicious cannoli filling in that donut, I had trouble finishing it. When you order a cannoli donut, it is filled to order, which I love. They keep the cannoli filling nice and cool by filling it after, creating this refreshing, sweet, chocolate chippy center juxtaposed by this dream of a donut. We also had a raspberry filled donut. No fake syrup here, this is raspberry jam. When cutting it in half, none of it leaked out, it stayed perfectly inside. Nice raspberry flavor. What I loved about Paula's, was the texture of the donut. Not greasy at all, puffy, yet still somewhat dense. The dough has a pull to it, like it's somewhere between a cake donut and a traditional donut. It tears as opposed to biting cleanly. It was wonderful. I left convinced that I'd be perfectly content with just a plain glazed, it was so satisfying. If and when I make it back to the area, this will certainly be a priority stop, maybe every single day. Or I'll just have to get a box to keep in my hotel, on demand. Is it possible this was the greatest donut I have ever eaten?? I think it was. Certainly the best in recent memory. FIVE STARS.

    The donuts are fresh and great quality. They appear the same at all Paula's locations. They're huge and have lots of filling The service is great and friendly staff

    What else needs be said on Paula's? The donuts are fresh, full on fatness, and just yummy! Service is always great the work like a well oiled machine.

    As great donut as Paula. This is 3rd Paula Donut location I visited. The parking lot is quite smaller so you may have to wait for someone to leave to have a spot. Many staff and quick service so no one had to wait. Donut is fresh and good. They have some nice deal for each day so make sure you check it out. They also have tables to sit to enjoy your breakfast/donuts/coffee

    Breakfast Egg Sausage & Cheese Sandwich
    Daviyion J.

    Stopped in to grab a doughnut and a breakfast sandwich and I really enjoyed my sausage egg and cheese sandwich. You have a few different cheeses to choose from and since they run daily specials, the day I went in every breakfast sandwich came with a free donut so I got a honey dip doughnut as well. Donuts definitely are pricey at $2.30 for a single donut, but when it comes included with your sandwich definitely a much better deal.

    Minis!
    Jamie K.

    I was so excited to try their cannoli donut! You have to it when you get there, it's made fresh. There are so many donuts to try. We ended up getting the cannoli and a bunch of minis to give them all a taste. Well the anticipation fell very short. For being a famous cannoli donut it tasted cream cheese with chips inside. Very unappetizing. The minis had a very odd flavor, as if they are all made of a "sour cream" base. I asked the staff and she said that only the sour cream donut was. They tasted very off. It was very had to say that chain restaurants make better cake donuts.

    We stopped for a few donuts to take home. They were quite busy but line moves quick. Both staffs who assisted us today was very friendly. We were given the wrong donut and the other staff was just happy to help us exchange it. Thanks to both of you! We got 2 dozens donut holes, Peanut stick, chocolate and red velvet donuts. Ofc donuts are always fresh and delicious. Onsite parking but it can be difficult to find a spot sometimes.

    Cookie dough doughnut
    Cassondra C.

    I love me some Paula's. There's no where else comparable. Especially when you like sweets and a lot of them. They have the most creative doughnuts out there and this cookie dough happens to be my fav. Like Nike says - Just do it.

    I Had a chance to visit this particular location when we were visiting buffalo. I would say i like the quality of their donuts. We bought a half dozen box but only got to try the honey dip one and everyone else ate the rest. The consistent flow of customers as well when i was there say a lot about the reputation of the store. The price though is a little bit on the high side. Each donut is 2. Once in a while probably is not bad. The store also can use a little bit of organizing and cleaning. Other than that, give it a try when you are in the area.

    Cheese donut
    Jennifer C.

    A cheese donut is by far my favorite, and occasionally I've been so lucky to get them when they are still warm. Today I got a peanut butter Angel cream. It had to weigh half a pound. No other donut shops could possibly compete with Paula's. Delish!!!

    It's certainly on the pricier side for donuts but for the size and quality you can't go wrong.

    How much does a dozen donuts at Paula's Donuts cost?

    A dozen of Paula's donuts will run you at about ~$13.94 I believe (half dozen around $7). Considering the size of these donuts and the amount of love in them, fair price and totally worth it!

    Do they have vegan donuts?

    I don't think they do tbh. But call ahead if anything.

    Are there any gluten free donuts?

    Called and verified they do not sell GF donuts, lame!

Puts a smile on everyone's face, I promise you! Paula's donuts are much larger than most places in town. So large, they look heavy. You don't even need to eat a whole one to reach your maximum sugar intake for the day but dang, they sure are deeeeelicious! I always pickup a honey glazed donut. If that was the only donut available in the world, I would be totally happy with that and never complain. It's perfection. Thick, fluffy, soft, sugary goodness. Go home, mic it for 10 secs and eat slowly with a tall glass of cold milk. Paula's has donut holes, a variety of donuts, the best Bavarian Crème donut, I've ever had in my life, they have some pastries, bagels, breakfast/lunch sandwiches (which I do very much enjoy) and coffee! They also have a HUGE donut that I've ordered for birthdays and the Super Bowl, you create it the way you want, put on a cute plate and serve (no one will miss the cake/cupcakes). This location has ample parking, a decent size seating/dining area, well lit with plenty of sunlight coming through the windows so you can sit and contemplate why you're eating so many donuts and how to lose weight. Oh, and the staff is great! They keep things moving efficiently here.
