My absolute favorite place for donuts! They put a lot of heart and effort into every donut. Never skimping out on frosting, glaze, or toppings. Every donut feels like it weighs a few pounds because of how much they really pack them with flavor and filling. My favorite is the headlight donut, which is chocolate frosting with vanilla cream stacked in the middle and on top. They also have seasonal donuts that proceeds go to charities. This month was the Cookie Monster donut with proceeds to fight child absuse. It was a frosted sprinkle donut with a cookie in the middle, decorated to look like the Cookie Monster. They made it fresh for me when I ordered, so the dough was wonderfully still warm. I've never had a bad donut here, everything is absolutely delicious! read more

Paula's Donuts - Cookie Monster Donut - Donuts Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

Probably the best donuts East of the Mississippi . Their donuts are bIg and beautiful and some are heavy enough to sink you to the bottom of the pool. The peanut stick is unique to Western New York and a must try at least once. The place always is busy and on Saturday morning it is staffed with a mob of workers to keep up with the demand. read more

Paula's Donuts - So busy it is hard to see the donuts! - Donuts Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

Girl. Let me tell you about the #1 spot to get yourself a donut as big as your face, filled to the brim with your favorite filling of choice, and baked fresh in-house daily: you guessed it, it's the place I'm writing a review for - Paula's Donuts. I don't remember when I had my first Paula's donut but it was evidently life-changing because I think about them all the time now. My personal fave and go-to is the headlight donut. I think this donut is underestimated and not usually the first one people think of. It's kind of like a bonus angel cream filled donut because it's got the angel cream on the inside and on top. Do I go into a sugar coma about half way through typically? Yeah. Yeah I do. Does that stop me? No. I power through because it's incredible. You know that scene in the original Willy Wonka where the tv addicted kid's mom paws a scoop of what looks like marshmallow or angel cream from a mushroom in Willy Wonka's magical room of edible everything? That's pretty much what it looks like when I eat one of these and I have no regrets. read more

Paula's Donuts - The queen of all donuts (in my opinion of course): the headlight - Donuts Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

If you're considering working at Paula's Donuts, think twice! I was recently let go for having a quick apple juice and making an egg sandwich during my 15-minute break - something I thought was completely fair to do on my own time. Management is strict on minor things like that while ignoring bigger issues. The work environment felt outdated and unwelcoming, especially with management that seemed to favor certain people, and yes, it felt very biased. I noticed a lot of sexist attitudes, which made it hard to feel like part of the team. If you're looking for a fair, modern workplace, I'd suggest you look somewhere else. read more

Ordered on line egg and cheese on hard roll was the worst' breakfast sandwich I have ever had ! The sandwich was tasteless will never order that again . Also ordered a large coffee there to go cups Are cheaply made it was very flimsy !! Overall Paula's I wasn't impressed . However order was placed on time and correct . Also got 2 raised twists that were good . read more

I like simple donuts/doughnuts. cinnamon, icing sugar. So the 'wilder' ones with all kinds of toppings I find gross. But they make great simple ones as well. read more

I love donuts, it's one of my favorite foods. Even though I have a bunch of places near me for donuts it's worth the 20-25 min drive every so often to get Paulas donuts. The donuts are pricy and that's the only drawback, it's twice the price but the donuts are twice the size of normal donuts. Always fresh and the best flavor you will find anywhere, and some flavors you can't find anywhere else. I don't normally like peanut donuts, there's is the exception, it makes all other donuts seem inferior to it. Must try if you have not been. Side note that the staff is always super friendly and accommodating! read more

Truly one of the best donuts I have ever had. I have tried a ton of donuts from here- red velvet, canola, old fashioned sour cream, glazed, chocolate iced... and plenty of others. You really can't go wrong- however the sour cream glazed donut is a 10/10 and the best donut I have ever eaten. Will continue to frequent this spot ! read more

I had the peanut cream doughnut got the free donut with a drink. Service was quick and the staff is friendly. Where I sat was clean and comfortable. Atmosphere was very relaxed and inviting. Their donuts are amazing!!! read more

I haven't been here in over 3 years. My mom wanted to go after we left Ted's today. Omg, those donuts, pastries , cinnamon rolls, etc. looked SO Amazing !!!!! The size of everything is humongous !! I've never seen such big donuts & such a different variety as I did today. I got a cream cheese donut. It was delicious !!!! My mom got a dozen & the box couldn't close. I'm still in shock as to how big those bad boys were. I will definitely be going back for more. The employee who took care of us was super nice as well. The atmosphere was comfortable . read more

The best so good I come from MD to get Paula's donuts so I can give it to my Dad for Father's Day.

What a great Saturday morning with donuts! My friend bought me once last time and I was in love with their donuts already! Went there today to pick up donuts for me and my girlfriend. The line is long, pretty long that I waited for about 20 minutes at 8:00 am. However, it totally worth the wait because the donuts are so good! I really enjoy the Honey Dips which are the top twos, the best I have ever had in my life. The chocolate angel creams are also wonderful, but a little bit too sweet for me since I'm not a huge fan of sweets. Overall, great price tag, friendly staff, and awesome donuts! Such a nice place to go for a quick breakfast! read more

Paula's Donuts - a variety of donuts in a box - Donuts Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

Mmmm donuts! Paula does them right. I have to say because they are so good and I am weak, I tend to stay away from them except for when someone at work brings them in. Even then I'll pass them by if they aren't my favorites. What are my favorites?Peanut stick, peanut creme, cheese, glazed, coconut creme, apple fritter, Bavarian, sour cream glazed, strawberry creme, ugh all of them! They recently had special donut with proceeds to benefit hospice, that's what brought me in, Cannoli filled!! So this trip marked my first time at the Sheridan location. I was a frequent flier at the Kenmore location and used the move as a way to cut my addiction! The line was 10 deep at a tad before 6am. I'm not sure if that's normal or just because of the special cannoli donut and the start of Faschnat season. read more

I am not a huge donut fan, but Paula's on fat Tuesday is worth stopping by to have a paczki. They look like huge donuts and come in glazed or powdered with several fillings. We had 2 glazed ones; a black raspberry and a Bavarian one. We shared both and really enjoyed them. We went back a couple of days later for their new creation: the Cannoli Donut. It is a huge donut filled with cannoli filling. They added chocolate chips. The news spread fast: they were sold out every day around 11AM! $3 each, 4 for $10 read more

Finest donuts in Western NY.......Wide variety. Excellent cutomer serice and nice ambiance...

No question the best donuts in Buffalo. I remember feeling intrigued by their airport advertising when I first visited for my interview - nice work! - but nothing could prepare me for how decadent these hefty bundles are in your mouth. The prices are also astonishingly low and BTW, their coffee is legit. Want to put a smile on someone's face? Get them half a dozen of Paula's donuts! read more

Stayed in Buffalo while out for a trip to Cooperstown. Stopped at Paula's for a quick donut before going to Niagara Falls. Super delicious, had the chocolate peanut stick and honey glaze chocolate. So good! Service was outstanding and friendly. If you are visiting Buffalo you have to stop here. read more

We stopped fir fastnachts, but they are not available until Ash Wednesday. Instead, we purchased a paczki and a cannoli donut. We shared the black raspberry filled paczki when we got back home. There was a wonderful amount of the seedless jam in each 1/2 of the paczki. We are saving the cannoli donut for a treat tomorrow, or possibly the next day if we return to Paula's for one of those delightfully light fastnachts. read more

Staff was friendly and the donuts were honestly incredible!!! I also got one of the cannoli donuts ( not included in the picture- I ate it too quickly. It was stuffed when I ordered it and had so much cannoli filling it was bursting out the top of the donut ) The fillings they use are delicious and not overly sweet. The actual donut itself was so fluffy but dense at the same time. You could easily eat an entire box without realizing it, they are THAT good, Out of all the donuts I had the coconut was my least favorite. I wish the coconut had been toasted but that's me trying to find something to make this place seem real and not too good to be true. Donuts included in the photo are the cinnamon glazed, coconut, peanut butter and jelly, strawberry's and cream, chocolate Angel, and the chocolate peanut butter Angel read more

Buffalo Wings... I mean Donuts On my visit to Buffalo/Niagara Falls, I wanted to try the most reviewed Donuts in the area which happened to be Paula's Chocolate Honey Dip Glazed Cinnamon Apple Fritter Chocolate Honey Dip was decent. Glazed Cinnamon tasted like an apple fritter without the apples. The Apple Fritter was my favorite of these three. It didn't have a normal apple fritter design and it looked like a scrunched up ball. I do have to say the apple filling they put inside was pretty good. It wasn't too sweet and had a slight tartness. Sad to say I didn't see any of their Specialty Donuts in stock when I went. At least the shop had a big nice seating area. read more

So if you're coming to Buffalo and you want a doughnut, this is the place to come too. I like they're chocolate dipped fresh donuts that they make on the spot. My husband prefers their cake donuts which are very good as well. The service is ok. The place looks the same like it did 15 years ago, so nothing really wow but it's a donut shop so looks aren't really important! read more

Have loved Paula's Donuts for a few years now but wondered this morning if I am imagining it or has there been a cut back on the amount of cream filling? Still love them, but just not as much! read more

After many recommendation I decided to give this place a try. Drove out of my way just to try their delicious donuts. I'm glad I did. I came here at 5am so that I can be at work on time. To my surprise there was a line already inside. Huge demand for these donuts. 1) Place is somewhat clean and welcoming. Floor was a little dirty from so many customer coming in and it constantly I suppose. 2) Person taking order was friendly and attentive. 3) Ordered several donuts (not all for me of course). Tried a few and was amazed. Great Donuts. Very fresh! Please give them a try! read more

Hubby wanted to get the peanut donut he saw in a video. The last time we stopped at one of their locations, they were sold out but we figured it was late in the afternoon. So we were in the area again and decided to try again but this time here at the original location. We got here around noon on a Sunday and already there were slim pickings for donuts and of course no peanut one. Hubby picked up a couple of donuts that were available: sour cream glazed and a seasonal cherry sour cream one. Wow the texture of the sour cream one was so soft and crumbly. It was delicious! The cherry one had the same texture but unfortunately we did not like the taste of that one - it reminded us of cough syrup. Definitely recommend the glazed sour cream one! read more

I love Paula's so much! All other donuts have been spoiled for me after I first tried them years ago, and nothing has changed for me since! We went today mid-morning with our kids (parent life, celebrating St. Patrick's day with coffee and donuts instead of green beer!). I let my daughter choose her donut, and she picked a long John that has Lucky Charms, a sour gummy rainbow with frosting clouds, and strawberry filling. This thing was absolutely massive! She ate a quarter of it before she was done, and she loved it. It was bursting with filling and she couldn't help but make a mess. I love how Paula's never ever skimps on anything and it's always good! I got the peanut butter angel cream, always my choice, and always amazing. We got our baby a donut hole (he liked it but still wary of new solid foods) and my silly dieting husband got no donuts (sacrilege!). We also both got coffees. $2.80 for a large is good price these days and the coffee was delicious!! Once again, Paula's was such a win! read more

A buffalo tradition, just like an old-school spot, called Freddys, but with a modern twist Polis has been a staple in Western New York for years now, and it's hard to say they make a bad donut ! They have tons of different flavors, the sizes are amazing, and the flavors are out of this world, you can't ask for nicer people or better flavors... If you've never had one, or think, Krispy Kreme are the gold standard... You've got to try this place read more

I feel like I don't even need to write this review because everyone already knows. This is best place in town. GO GET YOUR DONUTS. Honestly though, we always get 100 when we come into town. We get them for breakfast while we are here and then get them as we are leaving town to ensure we have some for the next few mornings. Seriously delicious and something everyone needs to try. read more

Local donut shops are always the best. Nothing matches paulas. Their donuts always feel like a treat and their breakfast foods are pretty yummy too. I love their strawberry banana smoothies! read more

There is not much else I can say that hasn't already been said. This location is simple right off Sheridan drive, in strip mall - easy parking. They make their donuts throughout the day and always have a large variety. I personally love the Angel Cream (Filled with tons of light, fluffy, sugary goodness) and Peanut Sticks. The donuts are huge, very filling and very reasonably priced. Recently though I have become especially fond of the donut holes which they have a large variety of. The chocolate honey dip and peanut donut holes are perfect when you don't want a whole donut. Donuts holes are 12/$3. They also make a wonderful, fresh house made carrot cake with excellent cream cheese frosting, very reasonably priced at $3 a slice. They always have a special flavor of the Month. This particular month (Aug 2018) they have an orange creamcicle filled donut, which tastes just like it sounds, very indulgent. Yum! If you haven't had a Paula's Donut - What are you waiting for? Go try them out. Credit Cards accepted. read more

Great donuts & the staff is awesome. Would purchase from them anytime. Ambiance is wonderful.

Big tasty donuts and fresh coffee. A mainstay in the community and I will continue to go there.

Paula's donuts are a Western New York tradition. I find them too darn big though I know a guy that ate 14 once. If I could only have one donut choice anywhere anytime I would pick Paula's sour cream glazed. Thank you, I just might eat two! read more
