    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

    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!

    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.

    Cookie dough doughnut

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I love Spot coffee! They have a good selection of drinks, a bakery case, and food made to order…read more I recently came in the morning with a group of people and we had no problem finding a table. I ordered a coffee and Mikes Special on wheat focaccia which was filling and delicious. My sandwich was made to order but still came out fairly quick. Restaurant was clean and the staff members were professional and nice. Highly recommend!

    We got there 10 minutes before their 7pm closing. Kids made fun of me when I said, "When I was a…read morekid Spot Coffee was a late night spot"... then proceeded to remind me that was 20+ years ago. Kids ordered a mango smoothie and all the fighting of who would get the first sip led to it spilling all over. So, not only do we show up and create a big order 10 minutes before close, we made a sticky mess. Despite that, the girl at the counter was very sweet and made them a new one. The rest of our meal was delivered in a to go bag, so we took the hint and came home to eat. Atmosphere was enjoyed by the kids, who all wanted to sit at the couch by the fireplace. It felt homey and they liked the art on the walls and music. We got 3 bean veggie chili, a strawberry almond salad, chicken feta wrap, and pizza bagel. Then finished with my Spot staple: Smores bar (and an oreo dream bar). Great, wholesome food...what you'd expect from a coffee shop. Everyone cleared their plates and said Spot rules!
