Customer Reviews

Absolutely impeccable and attentive service from the nano second, you walk in the door you're greeted with amazing hospitality, smiles, and true friendliness. It's absolutely breathtaking and unfortunately not seeing that much in America anymore, but this place I came on the way home and it instantly replaced the last donut shop I used to go to, which was about 15 minutes to 20 minutes away with Pauline's only being maybe before minutes from my house which is perfect. The gentleman in the front was very nic

My husband finished the boudin kolache before we even left the parking lot! My daughter loved the selection, my husband order 2 kolaches and a popper, & I also ordered a few donuts. So good, my husband wanted to go back! Large donuts & kolaches!

Y'all!! The New Biscuits & Gravy Kolache is GOOD! They don't skimp on the sausage (so you get filled up) and the gravy isn't over done (making it soggy). Also had the Vietnamese coffee - 10-10 recommend to get your day goin & an Apple Fritter w/ good chunks of real Apple!

After being told this place was great and fresher than most we decided on a wim to stop by. We got a chocolate iced pavarian cream filled and glazed strawberry filled. Both were filled to order. The chocolate could have been a bit thicker for the right ratio but the strawberry filling was the star. The strawberry filling tasted more like fresh strawberry jam than jello pie filling. We also got the spinach croissant and they warmed it in the air fryer. It was a fresher experience and the lady was very friend

Best little donut shop in town. Owners are so nice and the food is AMAZING. Donuts are way less greasy than other places. Haven't tried kolache but it's on my next list. Their breakfast tacos are to DIE FOR and the owner will make them fresh if they don't have any left. The croissant sandwich is just as delicious and can be made fresh to. Don't let this family owned shop go out of business because of the location! They're too good!!!

A hidden gem donut shop in league city! We happened to walk in on their soft opening. No wait. The donuts were fresh and the kolaches were so flavorful. Def try the brisket kolache and pot roast kolache. 10/10 would come back and make this my regular to go place.

This place sells donuts, kolaches, breakfast sandwhiches and drinks. I really recommend this place because its very peaceful and quiet, you can sit down and do some work. The workers are so nice and friendly. They worked really fast and the donuts are delicious ??.

This was my first time coming here, and won't be my last. Best kolaches and donuts in League City, by far. The Sausage and Gravy kolache was amazing! Everything we got was fresh and the store was clean as well. I definitely recommend Pauline's Donuts!

Great service and the food was delicious. High recommended.

Came here about an hour before they close not expecting much, but they were one of the only ones open at 2pm on a Sunday. Wow. Found our new donut/kolache place! Everything was GOOD. Everything was very fresh (unlike some other places at the end of the day). Got the sausage and cheese jalapeno kolaches, jalapeno/cream cheese kolache, and the sausage and gravy kolache. They all literally had the best flavor of any I've tried around Houston. Same with the donuts, all were delicious and very fresh. Will be

Pauline?s is FANTASTIC on everything!!! It is a new staple for breakfast for our family every Sunday at the least and other days when we need breakfast food!!! Excellent breakfast tacos and doughnuts! You have to go and eat you will not regret it!!! Very affordable and the service is Amazing! Very clean as well!!!??????

I'll always love Shirley's but OMG....this place makes one of the best ham and cheese croissant breakfast sandwiches. Their kolaches are so good and their donuts are delicious. What a treat!!

This place is SO GOOD!!! If you?re looking for a quick breakfast on the go, but still want quality food- THIS is the spot! Their breakfast sandwiches, coffee, donuts, fritters- everything was genuinely a 10/10! The service was so stellar too! Kevin is the one that helped us out, and was so beyond sweet and helpful! This is hands down a small business you want to support??

Talk about good kolaches and donuts. Pauline's donuts in League City Tx has great food. Very tasty. I bought the jalapeno cream cheese popper kolaches (my favorite), old fashion donuts & a large jalapeno cheese kolache. The gentleman at the counter is such a nice guy. They have pride in what they make, & it shows. That goes a long way. I hope they do well & stick around!!! I'll definitely be back!!!

Seeing "Auntie Pauline" has become a part of our early morning routine! Pauline cares about her customers as if they're her extended family, and my daughter loves to go see her! We used to go more frequently when we lived down the road from here, but we live in Friendswood area now. We still go out of our way to come see her about 2-3 times a month on early mornings when we have more spare time.

Love Pauline?s donuts! Especially the brisket kolaches. There?s not too much sauce and the bread to brisket ratio is perfect.

We frequently stop at this donut shop for breakfast on the way to school. The food is delicious and the owners are so kind. This week we came in on my daughter?s birthday to celebrate before school. They were so kind to make frosted donut holes just for her. They typically only have the frosted ones on the weekends. Amazing customer service!

This place has the best kolaches in the area hands down. A good selection of different types as well. A kolache factory competitor for sure. The donuts were really good too.

Best kolaches in houston, always fresh unique and tastes better than home made eggs. Amazing donuts and quality dough. Six stars in my heart, owner provides superb customer service and really cares about her business and quality.

Saw this shop had a 5 star rating and had to try it! Incredible food and staff were great. Get a specialty kolache! The bread they use is so soft and the perfect level of sweet. This location became my number on spot for breakfast when in town!

They have the most best sausage, egg and cheese croissants, hands-down. Also, their Vietnamese coffee is amazing

Walked into Pauline's with the intention of grabbing a couple of donuts. The owners are incredibly kind people and their pastries are delicious. We tried our first kolaches and the bar was set high! The donuts were moist and perfectly sweet (not too overly sweet). Highly recommend trying the old fashioned donuts and the Vietnamese iced coffee - strong and sweet, a favorite. Can't wait to return!

The person there was really nice and the donuts were pretty good but the glazed donuts and donut holes taste like a really sweet strawberry cake.

Best donut shop in League City hands down. The owners are so nice. Got the large Sausage and Cheese, The pepperoni (amazing) and a chocolate and glazed donut. Just saw they close at two so I?m thinking about going back for lunch. Don?t miss out on this new Gem!

I go in every Sunday and am greeted with amazing food and energy will continue to come here all the time.

10/10 RECOMMEND BEST KOLACHES!!! i always doordash and everything comes fresh and hot! love love love!

Tried out this new donut shop today! Was surprised by the many different kolache flavors. I tried a Boudain and a brisket kolache as well as a spinach pastry. The brisket was for sure my favorite it was so tender!! My son enjoyed some donuts he gave it a 10 out of 10! The apple fritter was just perfect ??

Stopped in for a donut and was surprised to see they had a full menu of other items as well! We ordered two breakfast tacos and one croissant and it was delicious! So good! And filling! Be sure to check this place out.

Dropped by Paulines on a Sunday morning. We were greeted by a nice guy behind the counter and the wonderful smells of doughnuts and coffee (great start!) We ordered a variety of kolaches and a couple different donuts, as well as their cold brew iced vanilla coffee. Everything was delicious! Their classic sausage/jalapeno/cheese and ham/cheese kolaches were the best we?ve had around the League City area. The breading was much better than Shipleys. They offered brisket kolaches (see picture) as well as the fu

New donut place in town. They are so delicious! Everything looked top quality with plenty of filling. No skimping there. I?m looking forward to stopping by for breakfast, I noticed there sausage, cheese and egg biscuit and caremel iced lattes. ??

Do not come here hungry! They have donuts, donut holes, so many kolachies and bobba! I for sure will be in food coma status.

Stopped by this place on the way to Galveston and it was one of the best donuts and kolaches I've ever had. The fresh taste and soft bites made me wish they had location in Houston. Hope they expand in Houston one day!

Food here is always excellent and very friendly staff. Love their assortment of food for breakfast.

This is a new place that deserves to be checked out! Their kolaches are full of filling, not like other places. I also like their boba smoothies as they have my fav flavors. Hope they get good support!

It was my first time here and the kolaches were hot, fresh, and delicious!! The donuts were also melt in your mouth goodness. Excellent service and breakfast goods. This is going to be my new spot!! 5/5

I LOVE Pauline?s!! Great consistency and my kiddos love their selections.

My favorite donut shop. Good prices, fresh food, friendly and efficient service. The mild boudin kolache is very delicious.

Best new donut shop around! Super clean, extremely friendly, and if I was forced to live off of their brisket popper for the rest of my life, well, I wouldn?t complain!!!!

The owners were really nice and welcoming. Loved the variety of the donuts and kolaches. They don't skimp on the filling for their kolaches either!
