Maybe all the great reviews are because these folks get here when they open, so they have great selection. I just left empty handed at 11AM on Sunday, because the selection was horrible. This location, when they first opened, had a good, if not great selection, of donuts nearly up until they closed. Now, often, no one is there making donuts late morning. If youre not going to keep making donuts while youre open, you may as well shorten your hours.
The donuts are wonderful, worth the hype. We got there later in the day, so there were only a few types to choose from. Big, open space inside with outdoor seating, as well. Easy to find from highway. Parking can be tight because its a fairly busy plaza, but its a free lot.
The assortment of donuts is almost overwhelming. Each time I have visited, the store has been exceptionally clean, had friendly staff members and plenty of fresh donuts. A dozen donuts is going to be a bit pricey compared to the competition, but it is worth the money.
Excellent donuts. Loved the buttermilk bars which have gotten difficult to find. Very nice selection - friendly staff. I love donuts and these are really food. Very fresh, lots of flavor selection. Only critique - do not put that maple bacon on blueberry. Other than that I will be back for sure next time in the area.
Holtmans is the best donuts in the greater Cincinnati area. Every time I stop by the customer service is AMAZING! Especially Jessica she is one of the front of house workers. She always gives me and my family amazing customer service. She always packages our donuts the correct way and is always so kind!
I asked for a German chocolate donut an received a blueberry donut with German chocolate topping. For anyone wanting to know this is a horrible taste combination.
I LOVE this place. I come here a few times a month. The customer service is great always. The donuts are on point every time. I am severely allergic to eggs and they make amazing vegan donuts (avail thu, fri, + sat) Pictured is a regular donut my fiancé got. So adorable
The original shop still gets 5 stars.5 weeks ago, took out if town relative to west chester shop. $42 for 18 donuts. All were over baked and on the verge of stale.So disappointing. Better go check out your bakers there. Not going back any time soon.
The dipping stick is the best. Did not care for the maple bacon. They used a blueberry donut for it and it overwhelmed the maple. No decaf. Part of the donut trail. Very nice server. Will definitely return.
Dossant was delicious as was the classic vanilla cake with chocolate icing. The yeast donut with bacon,,,yummy. Havent had a bad donut yet and the service is always outstanding.
From first sight, the aesthetic of the building exterior draws you in. It is cute. Its not often you describe a building exterior as such, but its warranted here, with the black and white striped awnings and the pink donut signage with the little bite taken out of it.The cute theme continues in the interior of the donut shop. The floors are black and white patterned tile and the fixtures and furnishings are trendy. It is also clean, and carries the Covid signage and preparations you expect to see.Now for the important part... the DONUTS. While I cannot speak to their selection prior to the pandemic, I can tell you I was impressed to find such a wide variety and stock at 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. I chose a half dozen, each donut different, and a small cup of coffee. We sampled a cinnamon sugar twist, chocloate glazed with caramel drizzle and toasted cocounut, glazed with chocolate drizzle, oreo crumble, original glazed that the employee thought was pumpkin (sigh), and the pièce de résistance a powdered red velvet. BOOM! All of them were delicious, but that powdered red velvet will be in my dreams tonight. Personally, my least favorite was the oreo crumble. If I could change one thing about my experience, it would be to include signs that label the donuts. I was pretty disappointed by the pumpkin donut mixup.Overall, the prices were reasonable, the environment welcoming, and the donuts delicious. We would return.
Im a truck driver every time I pass through I always stop I love their donuts its so good, especially the red velvet which is my favorite.
This place has amazingly unique and beautiful donuts. I was really blown away by the selection. The store itself has such an adorable aesthetic. Highly recommend. My favorite was the crème brulée donut 🍩 😋
This place is fantastic! A must visit if youre in the area. We visited 5 of the shops on the Ohio Butler County Donut Trail and this was the best by far of the ones we visited! The marshmallow donut was fantastic, our favorite donut of the day! We also had the chocolate and peanut butter one. Both were very good.We keep coming back here and its always awesome: great donuts & great service, with different donuts each time!
Great location with the best donuts I’ve ever had!! If you’re a newcomer here make sure you get the fruity pebbles donuts! So delicious. This last time we went to this location we ordered a king cake for Fat Tuesday. One of the best I’ve ever had! Some places skimp on the cinnamon and icing on their king cakes but no Holtman’s in West Chester. Great location!
This is the place to go for doughnuts! New location well done and the selection is fantastic! Make sure you give yourself some time to pick up in the mornings. Parking is easy and the staff is friendly.
Cincy Brew Bus Tours has a donut trail tour! So much fun. They take you to four of the stops on the trail and you get to taste freshly made donuts!
Always has great donuts! My favorite is their chocolate cake donut and their blueberry donut. This location is nice and spacious with more places to sit, enjoy, and watch them make donuts. compared to the OTR location. Here are some pics of the holiday donuts.
1st time visiting a Holtmans. Welcomed into the shop by a friendly donut hostess. Selection was slim on my trip. Donuts were not the best Ive ever had..but also not the worst. Definitly bars above dunkin n other chains tho. Keep up the great work!
Wow, these donuts were delicious. Not a bad one in the bunch. I was running some errands and I’m glad I stopped here. If I come back down to Cincinnati I will definitely be back.
Great place..get here early to have fresh donuts .call 24hours in advance to get custom made donuts to your liking..Nice donut shop..there time for baking the donuts start at 2am and ends at 1pm..so they sale fast ......so you get what you see .👍
Great donuts. Also, this place is designed very well. Their donuts are fantastic, but not as fantastic as their attention to detail as they built out their space.
Very good donuts and service. First time coming here and I was not disappointed. I’m from Michigan and me and my wife had to check it out now we are in love. 😂 I would definitely come back. Hopefully they bring a location to Michigan. I tried the pumpkin donut with espresso icing it was amazing I recommend it.
I love walking into this bright and cheerful shop! The selection of doughnuts is impressive and all the selections have been delicious. They even have a doughssant (or a cronut) that’s worth a try, and their German Chocolate doughnut is a unique offering and delicious.
Excellent donuts, with such great options. More expensive than some others, but we felt it was well worth it for the experience.
Best donuts in Cincinnati! New location is very nice and they have new donuts. My favorite is maple bacon! My wife love the coconut donut. They also have giant donuts.
I read an article this was best place in Ohio for donuts. Ive tried loads of donut shops and this one did indeed take first place. Wish they put one closer to me.
I LOVE Holtmans donuts! I had heard about them non-stop but always seemed to get to the OTR location after they were sold out. Happened to be re-routed during my morning commute up 75N and had to stop! Got two dozen mixed donuts for work. I think my favorite is the blueberry maple bacon, although Im also obsessed with the cereal ones! Were a fairly small office, so I had a couple to take home to my family. AND, I got my first donut trail stamp! Will definitely be back - great location!
Really good and unusual donuts. Great service!Our family really enjoyed our visit.
Best chain dough nut shop in the Tri-State! Unique doughnuts make them stand out among all the others. Butler County Donut Trail stop.
Very little difference between the OTR location and here, both are FIRCKEN fantastic! Personal fav is either the buckeye doughnut or the apple fritter.
Its a wonderful place, please stop by and get a fresh box of donuts.
I have a sweetooth and when Im out of town I locate a doughnut shop. My cousin suggested this shop to me , loved it.
Such a throwback! Donuts made in house, with a twist to their toppings. From fruity pebbles cereal to bacon. The shop is full of seats to sit and enjoy, and fresh coffee to boost while you stuff your face
My all time favourite place to go for doughnuts. I usually visit their downtown location in Cincinnati but this time went to West Chester. I got their dozen box and got an assorted arrangement, all of which were good. The service is good at this location as well.
I see why Holtmans is a Cincinnati favorite! They have a wide selection of really creative donuts as well as many of the basics. The raised donuts have an amazing, pillow-like texture; Id also highly recommend trying their doughssant. You can expect the donut cases to be just as full and fresh in the afternoon as they are in the early morning. All-around, Holtmans is an amazing, family-run business that deserves Cincinnatis loyalty!
We absolutely loved the giant donut!! Fresh and so good! The birthday boy enjoyed his big donut birthday!!
Visited as part of the Butler County Donut Trail. I tried a blueberry jelly donut, and it was amazing! There were actual pieces of fruit inside. That makes it healthy, right? ;)
Today was my first time at Holtmans. Their fresh donuts were fabulous. My family tried several different flavors. They were all delicious. The icing wasnt too sweet and the crumb on the donuts was great. I would give them ten stars if possible.
Super Delicious! I love the windows where you can see the donuts being made in the back.
What a fun spot for Butler County residents! The creativity of their baker and the variety of donuts are amazing. Fun and engaging staff, cant wait to go back!
These are so gooood!! They have so many flavors to chose from and the staff is super friendly❤️ 10/10 would recommend going here.
Pretty disappointed after seeing all the five star reviews. We had high expectations. The donuts were decent but not five star worthy. I will say though that the blueberry filling actually tasted like blueberries and was very good. However, the donuts themselves didnt have much flavor and some of them were very dry. There were plenty of types of donuts I had never seen before like the creme brulee one but it sadly didnt have much flavor to it.
Was in town visiting friends, and as we headed towards my hotel I saw this huge pink donut...we stopped in only after we had salad for lunch first. We could not choose just ome...so this is what we got for the weekend...yumm!
Dont get me wrong there donuts are 5 stars. but how do you have a shop in Westchester open till 8 PM on New Year’s Eve and have it 3/4 of the way empty at noon and no more donuts being made.
Love this place! Great service coupled with the best doughnuts in town!
The kids had the best time showing their California Gramma what real Cincinnati donut are all about!
We swing by occasionally when in the area, usually after dinner at one of the neighboring restaurants. Holtmans does extend their hours until inventory is gone. We have also tried the morning shift. Donut selection tends to lean toward the current fascination with exotic toppings VooDoo Donuts & others have popularized - bacon, breakfast cereal, etc... The challenge is that the standard donuts tend to fall short compared to other options, regardless of time of day.
This was the last stop on our Donut Trail Adventure. Sooooo delish and fabulous looking!
Family owned and operated into many flavors of fresh made quality donuts (and Im not the biggest donut fan unless theyre fresh) and that they most definitely are! Was told to try the apple fritter, wowza!
Great donuts and great coffee. Perfect for weekend breakfast with the family.
Amazing Donuts. Really sweet staff. Very friendly and patient
Just tried a holtmans donut an damn that was good. I had a red velvet oreo an i mean wow. 🤤💯💙🍽 it was sooo good
Hands down the best donuts in the city. Always fresh and constantly rotating in new flavors to try. The employees are always so helpful too. Whenever we have friends or family visit we always introduce them to Holtmans and they are always blown away and request them on the next visit!
Was nice 🙂 I was doing a door dash order. I will be back to try them donuts
Great selection and friendly service. I recommend.
Black raspberry filled iced donut had an amazing flavor and was made perfectly
Best display & places to sit to enjoy. Top 5 from the donut trail! Wide variety selection, also do donuts based on things happening/coming out with new creations. Most modern shop.
Oh....my....goodness! These are in a class by themselves. As a donut lover, I have tried them all, but these are wonderful. If you have ever had that empty feeling after eating a donut, that feeling like youd have to eat 3 to feel like youd eaten anything, youre in for a different experience. Though I wont discourage you from getting more than one because the flavors are great (most highly recommend the cheese crowns and blueberry bacon donut...do not judge until you try it!!), these are much more substantial! The cake especially- these are a little chewy on the outside, and a little denser inside. The glazes and fillings are fresh and real tasting, and sweetness is well balanced . There are a few very good donuts in the area, but if youre going to choose just 1 to deviate from your diet for, Holtmans is absolutely the only one that is worth it, in my book.
Ive been a fan of Holtmans longer than I can remember. This location is great! Their donuts are always fresh and there is a variety catering to everyones favorite. I love love love the maple bacon!!
The people are always nice, the donuts are delicious, and I love that extra detail where you can see people working. Cant wait to bring my baby there so he can have his treat while I get mine!
The place is very nice and clean. They have an assortment of donuts to choose but It wasn’t too my taste.
Delicious donuts! They have dairy free options and vegan options if you are into that!
I’m not really sure what all the hype is about. Sure they have creative flavors but when they’re dry, sometimes crunchy and taste like oil it doesn’t matter. We have had donuts from here on two occasions in a variety of different flavors. Both times I went in the morning before 9. All 5 of us agree there are much better options out there for donuts.
What a miserable employee we encountered Sunday on the donut trail. We were elated to see such an adorable shop when we pulled up! But the interaction with the employee left a terrible taste in our mouth. Customer service isnt for everyone, maybe she was just having a bad day but maybe consider sticking in the back next time. I havent had a chance to taste the donut yet but if its anything like the employee I will be back to give a 1 star instead.
Visiting in the area, I was treated to the taste and smell of this donut shop. It was well worth the visit. The donuts were fresh the price was reasonable and the customer service excellent. Its been awhile since Id seen service with a smile early in the morning.
Warning!!! Could be hazardous to your health and your car tires if u stop by!!! Lol yes because your tires wont last long driving here every day!!Lol Do not try the German chocolate cake doughnut or the Buckeye doughnut!!! Im afraid if u do there wont be left for me when i come back !!! Lol
Date of Visit: Monday May 20th, 2019While Roguetrippers visited Cincinnati, we took advantage of checking out the Butler County Donut Trail. We love donuts, so we had to check out as many places as we could.Holtmans was a nice stop on the trail.This is a cute donut shop. bright, colourful, and inviting.When we arrived, unfortunately, there was not a lot of donuts to choose from.We ended up getting a glazed Red Velvet and a powdered red velvet. There were not many elaborate flavours available at that time.The service was good, very friendly and nice.The donuts were soft and fresh, and nice flavour.Prices are very reasonable.Check them out when you are in the area on the Butler County Donut Trail - and get your passport stamped.
They have a very nice assortment of donuts, they are almost always very busy on the weekends. The shop is very well taken care of and clean. I love that they have viewing windows into the kitchen so you can watch the entire process of donut making. Its also nice because theres a bit of relief when you can see your food being prepared where you can see it.
I doughnut know but I think I have diabetes after these delicious scrumptious donuts :-)
I love these donuts. Get there early for best selection or order online for pick up so you wont miss out. Red velvet - with or without icing, the fruity pebbles, and apple fritters are tops
The location and atmosphere of this location are spot on. My kids loved being able to see the inner workings of how donuts are made. We enjoyed our donuts and coffee while there. We were disappointed on how they were the next day though - they were so much better fresh. We will come back, but only get enough to eat there. The staff were energizing and were animated with my kids - though every donut they said was blueberry, wasnt. Oh well! It was a nice treat after Duluth Trading with my family. EDIT: Ive upgraded my rating for four stars based on the coffee alone.
Were just visiting the area and had never heard of Holtmans. Im an acupuncture physician, and Im not in the habit of recommending sweets, but I really love donuts. I also believe in moderation, though, and the occasional treat is really not going to do you any harm. So we tried Holtmans. I got a cruller and a cake donut with sugar - a true splurge for me. The cruller rocked, but the cake donut was so good it made me want to cry. Even the powdered sugar on the outside tasted different. It reminded me of childhood. And the texture of the donut itself...I really believe that may have been the best donut Ive ever put in my mouth. They have a Donut Trail here, and now Im tempted to try every place on it! Its probably better that Ill have to go home soon instead. Thank you to Holtmans Donuts for a remarkable donut experience.
I work nearby & it’s convenient to know that I’ll get some amazing donuts when I stop in. Customers and coworkers really enjoy the wide variety of high-quality donuts offered. Some of the their creations are wild & so good! Keep up the great work.
I always picked up donuts from the Goshen store and did breakfast catering at the office too. Ill now be visiting the West Chester store. Your donuts are always delicious. My favorite is the bacon maple. You should put one up in the Colerain area. No doubt, it will be a success. All store fronts are amazingly beautiful.
I bought 12 donuts through door dash and asked them to write happy bday on them for my father. Not only did they write happy birthday they gave me an extra one too! Thought that was very kind :) he loved them!
Kids loved being able to watch the donuts being made
I usually go to the one at OTR, but was in this area. Probably not quite as good a selection, but the donuts are much easier to see at this location. Delicious as always and friendly service.
These are some of the best donuts Ive ever tasted! They have a bunch of awesome flavors and delicious combos. The store is usually pretty quiet and has a wonderful sun-drenched patio for enjoying that classic donut and coffee.
This is a beautiful donut shop with a huge variety and vegan donuts are available but you should check first cause I believe they sell out fast - super clean and super friendly people
Best donuts in Cincy. The Doughssant may be $4, but it is worth. Every. Penny. They also have vegan options (My wife is quite partial to the cinnamon sugar vegan donut) and my daughter loves the cereal donuts. Also follow them on any social media platform to watch for great and innovative seasonal/limited special donuts.
Im not a huge donut fan. But every since i stumbled across holtmans im addicted to the buckeye donuts they are the best! But all of their donuts are awesome and i love going to the milford location atleast every other day all the staff are awesome just 😍 love it def a must stop at place
Love the space and options. Ordering is a little weird in that the line forms against the display units, so its hard to peruse the different donuts easily. So you start filling up a box with a dozen donuts as you move along the display boxes, and start to see more delicious options after youve already chosen many donuts earlier, and start to regret your earlier choices. Guess Ill just have to try them next time :)So, only suggestion would be to form the line out from the display units so the donuts can more easily be seen.
Some of the best donuts in the city. Selection is usually much more robust on the weekends. Had a blueberry rosemary fritter this past weekend that was fantastic. Highly recommend this or any of their locations for a good sugar rush that will have you craving another visit.
This was our last stop on the donut trail challenge. This store actually had unique donuts that you dont see everywhere but the problem was that they were not fresh. I tried a chocolate donut with Cocoa puffs on top and the Cocoa puffs were very stale. The same goes for their cinnamon braided donut. If youre going, find out when they make their donuts in go then to get a good donut experience.
Service was excellent although donuts were dry. It was later in the evening so the selection was limited and even the cake donuts were dry, crumbly and a bit bland. Defiantly not super sweet...I will stop back to try some donuts earlier in the morning -closer to the time they are made ; to get a better, more accurate taste!!
Love their vegan Oreo donuts! So good and so happy they have a good vegan selection. I will continue to support them and would recommend them to everyone!
Ive visited this Holman many times, both before the pandemic and a few during. Everything Ive been in there it was great. The staff is super friendly, even when I was taking a long time. Tori was super lovely.The only issue Ive occasionally had was some rude locals who dont seem to think masks are important. That said they would not keep me from Holtmans.
Their donuts were fresh. I tried the vegan donut and didnt think I would enjoy it but it was delicious. The staff was great and friendly. I love that you can watch them make the donuts through the glass windows.
Showed up at 11:00 on Sunday and they close at 2. Maybe 30 donuts remaining and they were mostly vegan. So frustrated. Sad toddler. Not acceptable.
Their donuts are absolutely delicious. They tend to have a very good variety to choose from on a regular basis. The staff is always very helpful and very patient.
I am a huge proponent of local business and was 3rd person in line when they opened this store for the first time. So the desire and love was real...I bring people into Cincinnati from all over the world for my business and I had traditionally picked those people up in the morning after their arrival to bring them to select donuts at Holtmans...It’s unfortunate that this activity has ceased as their staff/quality control and overall cleanliness has slipped drastically in the short time they have been open.Donuts are often not fresh/day old or at least old enough to have a tough outer crust.Donuts not having the filling (that you paid extra for) when donuts are no longer a CHEAP breakfast at 26 bucks a dozen or MOREI was a huge fan of the ungodly expensive Cronut after getting these raw in the middle 2x twice (I was refunded both times)And the place is just getting an overall film of filth on everything.The once beautiful tile floor is now yuk for a lack of a better term. Tables have funk from the previous visitors of days gone by.This was once the Mecca and now it’s those expensive donuts that are eh.It’s unfortunate and a product of uncaring employees lacking in passion and the owners vision.
Came here close to closing- but even though the selection that late in day was very very low- I was still pleased and happy with the donuts I did get. Soooooo yummy! This place is worth the drive!
Made a stop here while on the donut trail. Friendly staff good selection tasty lemon poppyseed doughnuts
First time trying their doughnuts...it was worth it. Very tasty. There was a line when I got there at 7:50 or so. Some different flavors and combos. They have traditional glazed and custard filled ( my favorite).
We didnt try any really fancy donuts. The Apple fritter and a red velvet with chocolate icing were fine. Nice atmosphere, excellent coffee and customer service. Employees were extremely friendly and helpful.
Delicious and fun flavors. Definitely an interesting stop on the donut trail. Make sure they put wax paper between the donuts. First bakery that didnt do that in 40 years. Customer service could use some enthusiasm or caffeine. Wanted to buy more but staff seemed frustrated at us for browsing. Hopefully next time is more positive.
I was so excited try these donuts... spent 18 dollars on a dozen donuts ...brought them home to my family and everyone was very disappointed!! They were very strange tasting.. they tasted like pure oil! No donut taste... the cake donuts were so old and just crumbled! I will never go back... Dunkin’ Donuts are no doubt better than this place! Im so confused as to why these donuts were so bland and tasted like oil. Not worth the money at all!!!
Awesome donut place!! The maple bacon is a religious experience - get the yeast version. Super nice staff, delicious donuts, cute bakery.
Our first time there and it was delish!! Our kids loved the green St. Pattys Day themed donuts!!
Disgusting and dry. Bad bad attitudes from everyone. Encountered employee with the worst customer service. If I wanted dry doughnuts with cereal just thrown on them I could just go to Walmart and do it myself. Walked in and it was dirty stuff all over the place. Nothing wiped off.
My favorite donuts! I stop in whenever Im in Cincinnati. Wish we had one in Columbus.
Nice old-fashioned donut shop. Tasty, but dont think youre going to get something remotely healthy. The coffee is super good, too. Dunkin used to be like this before they went to the ship everything in frozen like Panera model. New, clean, and lots of variety. You can even watch them making the donuts through the window into the kitchen.
Really, really good donuts and coffee. We tried the glazed, cinnamon sugar, and cookie monster ones. Very soft and fresh. Get there early for the best selection! The eating area is nice and modernly designed.
The donuts are consistent with what you would find in a holtmans donut shop. excellent donuts that are delicious. Unfortunately both times I have come in the service has been subpar. Dry, bordering on rude service. Both times the service had an atmosphere of wish you were not here*Edit I was kindly contacted by a manager and she did a great job taking ownership and making it right with me!
Too good of doughnuts! Delicious but a bit pricey but well worth it! Good thing I dont live close!!!
First time visitor as we were in town for my birthday. Got up early as I imagined they would be busy based on the reviews. Doughnuts were amazing!!
I visit Duluth often and decided to try Holtmans Donuts because I love donuts. I wasnt impressed with the donut, I found it not that distinguishable from donuts I can buy from the local grocery bakery. If you want marshmallows or other toppings on it, it is definitely different from grocery store. What annoyed me most about my visit was the person that helped me get my donuts. It was my first time there didnt know what they have or what I wanted or how many and the person kept asking me how many donuts I wanted before she would help me. She insisted she needed to know in order to pick the right package to place my donuts in. I didnt realize that it was that important instead of helping first time customers. Dont plan on visiting this place again.
Visited at 11:30am on a Saturday. This was our second visit in the last couple months. The dining room was covered in sprinkles and frosting and used napkins. The staff were using 2-3 of the 8-10 tables they have, and I cleaned the last available table (hi top) myself. I asked if the single remaining sprinkles donut in the case was the last sprinkles one they had - they said yes so my boys shared it since they both wanted sprinkles. Not 5 minutes later they wheeled out two big carts of hundreds of donuts that had been sitting in the kitchen (including many sprinkles of course). 🤦♀️
Not quite as good as I wanted it to be. The large, pretty store make you expect a lot, but the staff isnt overly friendly, like they all have to take pre-shift Xanax, and the donuts, though with fancy flavors, are meh. The actual donut part just leaves a lot to be desired.The pastries are pretty on point, but for a donut shop, I actually want the donuts to be the star of the show.
I love this place. The best doughnuts in the area
These are some of the best donuts in Ohio. The original location in Milford is the best but the location in West Chester is more modern and has a lot more variety. They are a must check out if you are a Cincinnatian, but even a visitor as well. Blueberry and the raspberry were the best.
Hands down the Best donuts Ive ever had so far in my life. The Bluebery Maple Bacon and Red velvet with cream cheese were so moist and delicious. No doubt a very dangerous place if you are on a diet. Very hard to resist, now that I know how Good these donuts aee!!!
Went to the union centre shop last week. Great selection, but prices are overboard. $1.25 for a cruller. Come on. All donuts are a lot smaller than I have ever purchased elsewhere, and they are just as good. Sorry, but I wont be back just because of crazy prices.
Delicious variety of donuts everytime we go. The staff are always friendly and the coffee is delicious!
These doughnuts are just ok. I had a variety today and was really looking forward to the buckeye doughnut, my hometown bakery sells a buckeye doughnut too, I was ready to bite in and find it filled with peanutbutter filling but was disappointed. The doughnut was a bit dry and really needed a filling. I asked the girl for a red velvet one, which I thought was the one with the cream cheese frosting swirled on top, thats not what I got. I did get a bright red cake doughnut that didnt really resemble red velvet. The lemon doughnut was ok, really needs more lemon flavor. Overall they were ok, like I said, but for $18 for 12 doughnut I expected more.
Very overpriced. While they have a lot of selections most of them were made way earlier in the day or possibly even earlier. So purchasing the fancy Donuts with all the bells and whistles let us down because they were not stale but they were also not fresh. Ill continue to go to Stan The Donut Man
Great donuts. Clean and nice.
Delicious, variety, delicious oh did I mention delicious. I love Holtmans. In my humble opinion the best way to tell if a donut place is good is through the basics. The infamous glazed donut. Holtmans has a fantastic basic donut and it only gets better from there. Definitely worth the visit.
Donuts are made fresh from scratch every single day, what else can I say? The yeast donuts are soft and fluffy on the inside with a sweet golden crust on the outside and the cake donuts are moist and dreamy! I recommend the vanilla cake with maple bacon or the classic yeast with vanilla sprinkles. Hands down the best donuts I’ve ever had! The coffee is always hot and the Highlander Grogg is almost caramel tasting which is phenomenal!! My wife says I come here so often I must have a mistress working! How about that!!! LOL!!
Wonderfully fresh with both traditional and exciting, fun flavor combinations. The red velvet donut with cream cheese frosting is worth every delicious calorie! The maple bacon is a sweet, smokey, and salty treat perfect for breakfast.
The best donut in town but unfortunately Im rating it 3/5 for an easily solvable problem. I saw customers not wearing masks despite having a sign in the door. Employees did nothing.
Holtmans West Chester prepared the donuts for our wedding dessert bar and did a fabulous job. They even special ordered some beautiful sprinkles for just a couple dozen donuts. Prices were great, as well. Communication was always prompt and easy, as was contracting and payment, everything turned out exactly as discussed. We loved our Holtmans wedding donuts!
Donuts are always good and today was not a disappointment. The service was not the greatest from one person who obviously was tense due to the steady crowd. She was rushing everyone and came across as rude and inattentive. Not bad enough to discourage me from going back though and you should go as well.
Best glazed doughnuts Ive had. They have a lot of varieties as well. Many of them rather unique, such as the bacon topped doughnut. Should have no problem finding something you like.
Been a costumer of Holtman’s for 15+ years Always have gone to the Loveland location. But Since they are remodeling it have tried the west Chester one multiple times. It has been horrible every time. And they never have any doughnuts available. Hoping that the Loveland one Is done soon and back the way it was.
I had very high expectations, and they were blown out of the water with the first bite. These donuts are heaven. Every flavor I tried was entirely unique, but equally delicious. I dont think I could ever eat a Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donut again. This is it.
They have the craziest donut flavors! In a good way. Could be a childs dream donut store. But i like my old classic glazed donut. So Donut Spots in Fairfield got my vote for the 5 star
Great donuts! Always fresh and such a great selection. Very different and unique flavors! Definitely a must visit. It never disappoints!
Love their donut holes! But they never have enough of chocolate covered cake!
Always great donuts. Great flavor variety as well. My favorite is the Doughsant. A cross between and donut and croissant. Its the best Ive ever had. I only wish they had it more often.
The line out the door should tell you how good they are...Either get there early or expect a line which is ok..it moves pretty quick..Part of the Donut trail for the location in west.chester. Not a bad Donut on the menu. Great place all around. If i had to recommend get the red velvet..
Went there on Valentines Day and they only had 2 girls working! There was only 6 people ahead of me and it took them 10 + minutes to help them. The reason I say 10 PLUS MINS. is because I left and they was still helping the SAME 2 PEOPLE...The donuts looked great but their customer service sucks. Hire more help!!!
Was having an excellent experience until it was time to pay. The clerk acted as if the donuts we ordered was such a huge mixture that it would be difficult for the other cashier to ring us up. Very rude and disrespectful. Work on the customer service.
This place is very clean and friendly. They have a great variety of very unique flavors and types of donuts. I would recommend getting a big box and trying a bunch of them !
Yummy...had a good section to choose from....we went around 3ish in afternoon
I’m giving this a 2 Star bc when my husband and I went today at 6:30, only a couple donuts were left and one type of donut. We saw several people walking out angry. When we were about to walk in, a Custmer told us to walk away since there was nothing left. This should never happen with them being 1.5 hours away from closing. We drove 30 mins just to be disappointed. Very bad management.
Yummy doughnuts, great coffee, and friendly staff. This is one of their larger (if not largest) locations so there is plenty of seating. Theres a great big glass wall where kids of all ages can watch the doughnuts being made.
Really cant recommend this place enough. The donuts are great, lots to choose from and arent expensive at all! Such a cute store, love the decorations!
Nicest new clean donut shop. Ours were very fresh. Seems like it would be hard to make one that isn’t good. You can also watch them being made. I’d add more coffee varieties.
Best donuts I’ve ever had. Always a treat to get Fresh donuts on the weekend.
The donuts are a little dry in my opinion. Their frosting is really delicious though. The employees are really nice and the place is easy to find.
Fresh delicious donuts! Very dangerous for my waistline.
A very wide selections of delicious donuts, with a great selection of drinks and coffee. Getting there early is your best bet because fresh donuts are so much better than donuts that have sat out for even just an hour...
They were already out of most of their donuts by 10:30AM. Only tried one or maybe two. Really wanted their maple bacon one!
Tried these donuts for the first time yesterday and they taste like real donuts. These tasted like they were made by a person in a kitchen and not by a machine in a factory. Holtmans Donuts is awesome.
Love this place. Arguably the best donuts in Cincinnati
Serving Seven Hills coffee which was great. Smelling the donuts enticed me to buy even though not hungry. Just great fresh baked, so many unique varieties made it hard to choose just 1.
Fantastic selection- we picked up 4 dozen for a clinic we visited. Staff is courteous and accommodating. No need to call your order in, they take care of you quickly.
Nicely designed donut shop. Good place to take the kids or meeting a friend. Strongly recommend getting the glazed hot out the grease. Fabulous!
West Chester Holtmans donuts are horrible!! The donuts are stale! Hard icing on the cake donuts! White kid didn’t want to wait on me the last 2 times I was in there!!!!
My favorite spot to get donuts in Cincinnati!
One of the newest stops on the Donut Trail! I love stopping by Holtmans for donuts, and the staff is always helpful! The seating area inside the shop is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your donuts.
The doughnuts here look nicer than they taste and you are paying for the fancy. Dont get me wrong they are not bad, Ive just had better. Will be back when in the area.
Were told donuts were fresh but they were dry and mediocre at best. I was so excited to have a family owned shop in the area but i must say was unfortunately the same taste of the national named bakeries....😢
How does anyone give this place less than 5 stars? We are so lucky to have such a fun donut shop nearby. They are very creative in their donuts. So fun, especially for the kiddos.
Delicious donuts! I love the buckeye donut and the way that the staff keeps everyone healthy by following cdc guidelines!!
Love getting donuts here😋
Really disappointed. I so wanted to love Holtmans, but the customer service was rude, the line was slow, and the donuts were just meh. I prefer Graeters donuts hands down. And, fair warning, they will not give you a cup for water - they insist you buy bottled water, even when you already ordered a dozen donuts, coffee, and milk.
The ONLY place to get hand crafted donuts in West Chester. Stopped by this morning to get some for the office, and yes, the line was long but it was sooooo worth it. Big hit at the office and will definitely be there again.
The inside of the bakery is really cool, especially where you can see the donuts being made. The donuts were good, but the ones we got did not deserve a $2 price tag.
Ive been to every other Holtmans location and loved everything Ive ever had. Except now. They had a whopping 4 varieties of flavors. None of which I was looking forward to. Where were the staples? Apple fritters? Cinnamon twists? God forbid there be a red velvet. I settled for a dozen donut holes only to bite into a powdered morsel with all the flavor and tenderness of a cardboard box. Needless to say I will not return to this sad excuse for a Holtmans bakery. My high expectations and I will be going to the original Holtmans location in Loveland where they have a wall and a case full of fresh donught delicacies at every hour.
Guys!!! Its called a bakery!!!! Donuts are breakfast food. If you want the good stuff, get there early. Geeeeezzzz. Some of these people on here. Amazing everytime I go, best donuts in the state!!!!!!
Probably the best donuts Ive ever had!
Very fun choice of donuts!
Great addition to the West Chester Community. This location of Holtman is brand new. Love the bacon maple donuts! We brought a dozen and cant have enough!
Love there cake donuts, never disappointed.
Donuts are fresh and delicious. They have some off the wall flavors that are totally worth it.
CRAZY donut flavors that taste ABSOFNLUTELY DEEELICIOUS!!! Im talking maple syrup and real bacon, fruit loops, Lucky charms, red velvet w cream cheese, etc etc AND ETC
Purchased a variety dozen on a Thursday morning and not a single one tasted good. All the varieties, both the cake and yeast, had an unpleasant filmy aftertaste. Not recommended.
Unique donuts in a cool spot. Great on taste and pretty good on price. Definitely worth trying a few of their different donuts.
I mean its hoping its donuts. What else can I say? Unbelievable.
This was easily the best donut shop on the trail! A fun friendly staff, great decor, a decent sized seating area and the donuts were the best ones we had the whole trail!!
We love Holtman’s for their Birthday cake doughnuts. Our family has celebrated with them many times, including graduation.
Innovative recipes and stylish design. A small do it shop with a big atmosphere, cant go wrong at Holtmans. Just a few recommendations, add a trash can outside so people with coffee can throw other cups away. Maybe add a few more coffee options like an esspresso or cold brew. Something g more then a keiger. Tasty and delicious.
Nostalgic feel & plenty of varieties. The downside is the donuts are rather dry. The location is ok, but not convenient. Its not compelling to go out of the way for.
Only thing I did not care for was the lack of high chairs or booster seats. Donuts were delicious, staff was pleasant, store was very clean. Get some high chairs though.
First time here! Visiting from Wisconsin, the red velvet cake donut was Ahhhmazing!! Friendly staff.
Not everything I was expecting bit to be. Donuts are good but not too many kinds to choose from.
Dry and not very good. Dont understand the reviews. Throwing some cereal on a dry doughnut does not make it good.
Love that they have vegan donuts!!! Always so delicious!
Not anywhere near as good as the other Holtman locations. The donuts were bland and somewhat oily tasting; nothing like the Holtman donuts I am used to getting at the Loveland and OTR locations.
Always amazing with a very unique selection of donuts that you can only get here.
Love there doughnuts open early grab and go
Charming little shops. Donuts are okay. A bit dry, whether cake or yeast style, toppings mediocre. Nothing special here, really, other than local history.
Have a donut or 12, watch donut making and excellent service. Ill be back.
Great place, family oriented and a large variety of dounuts. They could stay open later but, the pastries are worth the buy. I strongly recommend this spot.
Amazing donuts, great staff. Very clean. Highly recomended
Great donuts, taste amazing they’re worth every penny

2021-10-18The store downtown is the institution but this is a less equal sibling. The red velvet cake donut is my favorite but the same West Chester store was compact and not fluffy like expected. The service was good with a similar setup to downtown. The yeast donuts are good but still in the mid grade ranking. There are better available.

2022-07-08Holtzmans always has a great, ever changing selection of delicious donuts. They have traditional go to plain cake, glazed yeast donuts, or iced with sprinkles, along with more creative & adventurous flavors like breakfast cereal topped iced cake donuts, & maple icing topped with bacon, etc.

2022-07-02Holtmans is my favorite donut shop in West Chester. They always have the best variety of donuts in my opinion. They are a little more expensive than other donut shops in West Chester, but its well worth it.

Anyone looking for good donut or visiting Cincinnati go to them, theyre truly the best in my opinion and I use to be fan of other bakery in town. Holtimans donuts is always fresh and taste so good. THANKS to a great family business, who truly really take great pride in their work. 😋

2022-06-22A great donut place on route to work is essential, and Im glad to have found that in Holtmans. I treat my coworkers all the time! The quality is never lacking. I love the different specialty donuts that go in rotation. The people there are always pleasant, even before 8am!

2022-02-22Holtmans is the only place that still has the donut with chocolate frosting and chopped up peanuts 🥜. You can call them on the phone and pre-order even the smallest order. It has an old-school ice cream shop feel on the inside. The employees have thus far been amazing. I work close to the donut shop, so I enjoy them at least weekly. I highly recommend this food to people that can handle the rich deliciousness!
