Paula’s Donuts

380 Kenmore Avenue

100% local, 100% good is the way to describe Paula’s donuts located on Kenmore Avenue at the junction of Kenmore and Englewood. From the single order to the dozens or more party orders, Paula’s can and will accommodate your any need for fresh tasting donut goodness. Established in 1996, Paula’s claim to fame is their handmade fresh guarantee, something the big box corporate donut makers can’t always say. From the standard Sugar Jelly/ Frosted Jelly to special order donuts like Coconut Custard and White Frosted Chocolate Angel Cream and everything in between, Paula’s is the perfect fall day excursion.  READ MORE...
