We were just driving and noticed this donut shop. The kids had seen the big chain donut place a few doors down and asked about donuts. I had seen the sign for Golden Hands and decided that's where we would go! It did NOT disappoint! The kids went for the normal glazed (but twist not a circle donut!) and vanilla with sprinkles. I wanted to try one of the many others. I tried something different so I sprung for the strawberry with banana cream. I'm not a huge banana fan but oh my goodness this was amazing! The service was impeccable. I love supporting small businesses. It's definitely got a warmth and charm that is missing from the big box places. I cannot wait to come back again! read more

This place is heaven! I am not the biggest donut person so I love a place that has donuts and baked goods alike! This place doesn't disappoint - there is so much to choose from and the options rotate daily ! I personally love the blueberry fritters - They are huge and layers of blueberry yet they are only 3 bucks (that's so cheap). The strawberry cheese pastry was also delicious and flaky. The only thing I ordered that I wasn't a huge fan of was the pretzel - it was big and the price was right but it didn't taste better than a wawa pretzel twist. The donuts also come warm since the case seems to be a warming case which is a nice touch. The workers are so nice and they will explain every flavor to you if needed since there are no labels. The place is small and so is the parking lot. read more

Amazing local bakery that my friend recommended to me! They have a large variety of breads, stuffed and glazed donuts, and pastries. I went late on a Sunday morning and the small parking lot next door was full. There was a short line in the small shop ahead of me and some of the best sellers were sold out. The person who helped me answered all my questions and I enjoyed everything I tried, including a small cinnamon roll-like pastry and palmier. Best of all, I bought 3 items and the total was less than $6! I look forward to coming again to try more. read more

Old fashioned bakery serving classic donuts. I got a glazed twist and it hit my craving! Apple fritter was okay, but I'd go back for their glazed items again. Only knocking a star down because they need to implement better food service safety. The server wore gloves but touched everything in the bakery wearing the gloves. She touched the glass, trays of donuts, boxes, and even the iPad. She didn't pull the pastries with the paper, but with her hands and merely wrapped the pastries in the paper after she touched everything in site then people's food. I saw her do this to other people and had to ask her to change gloves before picking my order. read more

Golden Hands Bakery is the gem on Wooster Pike and is now our go to shop for donuts. We've tried so many of their donuts, and the sugar twist is still my favorite. My husband loves the glazed apple fritter, and we still polish off donut holes by numbers too high to admit to anyone. There are different types of jelly, and custard filled donuts too that we've added to our list. It's hard to not find something delicious, and the moment you walk in the door the aromas of fresh sweet dough will get you drooling. The service remains friendly, and if you have questions they'll get answered. This is the place that is so good you're not even enticed by the supermarket donuts when you're shopping with a growling, empty stomach. read more

Heard about this place on Wooster. I wanted to try their cherry fritter but I was late to the game. So we got some donuts. Small operation and they had a lot of donuts to choose from. Cost was very reasonable and the fried croissants was huge and very good. I tried a personal cherry cake which they said taste similar to their cherry fritter and it was awesome. Their donuts tasted good a day or two later without microwaving them. They were still soft and delicious. This place is a drive for me but I may make special trips out there. Sorry no pictures this time. read more

Taste: 5 Value: 5 Service: 5 After reading the reviews, we had to check it out. Came by on 4th of July and there were seasonal donuts available. Got a dozen of mixed donuts and was not disappointed. Mango pineapple cream was a great balance of sweet and not too decadent. Chocolate croissant and apple fritter were good. read more

Golden Hands Bakery - Old fashion, choc. old fashioned, long John w/ cream, cinnamon square with cream cheese frosting and custard filled with chocolate glaze - Donuts Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Stopped here EARLY around 5:45 driving from Blue Ash to Louisville and it was a delectable morning treat! I had to do a loop around the block because the parking lot sign still has the old business's name on it, but once inside, I was greeted with trays upon trays of donuts and pastries. I had the carrot cake donut and the maple bacon, both of which were outstanding but the maple bacon is probably one of the best I've ever had and it's my favorite donut flavor so I've had a lot. Ladies working were very pleasant, I could never be that nice that early. This is a must stop if near Cincy bright and early. read more

Great local bakery. Very friendly staff. I enjoy seeing their Facebook posts as well. Lot of variety of donuts. Also have some drinks in fridge, pretzel bites, and breads available.

Highly recommend! read more

The donuts were amazing, and they are well worth the wait, as the line often stretches out the door

The BEST donuts in all of OHIO. Filled completely yet their dough is so light! I love their Boston it is amazing!!!! All their danishes and croissants are solid. The maple bacon is a lot but if you split it with someone it's so worth it the bacon on it makes it soooo good. Imo I do not care for the oreo or long john. They are just over the top too sweet for me. The apple is ok too much apple not enough crumbles or icing in my opinion I like dunkins ORIGINAL apple crumb more. This place is YUMMMMMY.. They had a churro donut that was killer! Again one to split. I love donuts and having some of the best in NYC and NJ this place is a definite 5 stars because of the quality in their dough itself is amazing. read more

Holy cow. I just had the best donut in my life. I got the stuffed raspberry. This was the softest fluffiest donut that melted in my mouth. I thought Holtmans was good. The people working there were super friendly. I'll definitely go back. So many different donuts. read more

A small easily missed gem in Mariemont with the best pastries baked by owners with years of experience. The case it loaded with so many options it's impossible to choose. You can find the classic tried and true yeast and cake donuts, or go for more unique items like a flaky glazed schnecken, a big elephant ear, or fritters that are the size of your head. Fun options for kids as well like decorated donuts and cookies. My favorite overall though was the chocolate filled donut, dusted in powdered sugar and filled with a thick luscious chocolate cream. They bake awesome bread in house as well. Some whole loaves and some sliced and ready for home. Be sure to grab one on your way out. read more

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to stop when I am in Cincinnati. Their donuts and baked goods are incredible. The employees there are so kind and friendly and have been so helpful when my family and I have stopped in. They offer a wide variety of donuts and a lot of different flavors/types to choose from. They have a lot of Bengals pride and decor within the bakery too, which is also a positive. I'm not in Cincinnati currently but I am already excited for my next visit to Golden Hands Bakery! read more

There are a lot of bakeries in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky that sell delicious donuts (and I've tried a ton), but Golden Hands takes the win. The donuts are all dipped in a glaze, then finished with the topping/icing. They are the freshest and fluffiest donuts and are just as fresh 2-3 days later. We have tried multiple flavors, and even just a plain glaze is a good choice! They sell homemade bread, drinks, and coffee in addition to baked goods. Previously known as "Moe's" they still display the big sign out front, but the door will promote Golden Hands. This is a tiny little bakery on a main road, easy to be missed. They have outdoor seating but nothing indoor. The staff is friendly and always helpful when choosing donuts!! read more

Every time I'm in Cincinnati, I will need to visit Golden Hands. There's magic in each donut I tasted. The atmosphere reminded me of an old world family bakery.

Employees were beyond friendly and as a fat person who loves baked goods..I can honestly say these were the best donuts I've ever eaten!
