Fine Donuts

I was recommended by a Maderan, he suggested this donut joint was better than yumyums. Uhm… I’m curious if the day that I purchased a dozen was an off day but it was distasteful. I love all sugary sweets but I’m picky when it comes to a donut. The taste that it left in my mouth. A donut should never do that, the only
Lingering taste should be of flavors of the topping, chocolate, custard, fillings. This was not the case. Tasted as if the batter was fried in old old oil. The donuts had airy hole pockets not much of dough. It felt like I was eating a ban tha go– which is similar to an Asian twin dough stick. Very airy and tough. Oh by the way I bought a dozen for $ 16.99. I could barely stomach 1 sugar coated donut. My husband didn’t want them to go to waste so he ate 2. Brought them over to my sister and she couldn’t finish one. We are sweet lovers! But this place is not receiving the love right now
The man assisting me was very sweet, establishment stemmed to the ones I’ve visited frequently in my town, lighting could have been improved but I’m guessing they were closing. The place was dim as to where most lights were shit off.
Will give this place a second chance if I happen to be going this way. Other than that I would drive across the ways to other donut establishments.

Best doughnuts in town! blue berry doughnut is a must have. The only thing is you gotta get there before 9

Always out of donuts before 10 am. Or they just have whats left over. If you don’t get there before 7 or 8 am, don’t expect to buy any donuts :(

These have always been my favorite donuts. Service with a smile, super soft fresh donuts… does it get better?

Nothing compare’s to Paul’s donuts or his always happy smile in the mornings. We try to find donuts whenever we go out of town — we always leave saying «nothing compared to Paul’s». Paul is always dependable and never disappoints!!!

Good donuts but even better service! I’ve shopped here since they opened when I was just a kid. The quality has never changed and Paul is extremely friendly and helpful. He always has a great selection when I go in, and has affordable prices.

I’ve been coming to Paul’s place for around 20yrs. And lets just say there is definitely a reason for this. But not just due to the fact that Paul is one of the nicest guys i know, always, always with a smile on his face. I don’t know how he does it as he has never taken a vacation or day off that i know of.
It’s the quality and care he puts into each donut. As if your donut was the only one he prepared all day and was made just for you. Soft texture, not oily, smooth and rich frosting. He keeps his milk ice cold!
But get here early! As Paul’s shop is easily the most popular shop in Madera and the farmers could easily clean him out.

As this is the closest doughnut shop to my parents home, we usually come here whenever we feel like donuts. When this place first opened, they had a great selection of fresh donuts. And they should — this is a very large shop with many glass displays for the donuts. Unfortunately, the last three times we’ve gone, they’ve had a crappy selection. I mean, only glazed circle donuts or bars with or without chocolate frosting. And it’s silly looking too because they have all these glass cases that are empty save one. Come on people. I will say, these incidents occurred during the late weekend morning around 10 am — 11am. Maybe if you get there really early the selection is better.
