Fair warning, this place is not fancy at all, but honestly, it's donuts. Who cares if it's not fancy. Delicious apple fritter and there were pink sprinkle doughnuts so my kids were happy. Asian owned. I don't know why, but Asians make the best fresh donuts. A place in Indianapolis called pana donut is Asian owned and has been voted best in the city several yrs running. What I think is adorable are all the cards and letters from locals. Shows that this place is part of the fabric of the local community and I'm sure popular with college students and staff. Yum! read more

No clue where all the good reviews are coming from. Tried them for the first time this morning and the donuts were close to awful. They had to have been at least one day old. Would not recommend and will not return. read more

Just your typical decor but nothing typical about the donuts! They're always delicious and super fresh. Outstanding apple fritters and chocolate cake donuts! Bring cash! read more

Great donuts! High quality and good taste! Owner also deserves some appreciation for his good customer service and his overall good character. Super nice and will spot you a donut even after hours! (Especially CIY students). Fish tank adds a nice aesthetic and the donuts are all so good that you can't help but pick two for yourself! This place also is devoted to fighting Leukemia, which makes purchasing two donuts not feel as bad when yo saving lives through it. Overall, great place that deserves all the appreciation it has earned (which is a lot). read more

Good Time Donuts - a person holding a half eaten donut - Bakeries Near Me - Holland, Michigan

IT'S FRESH MADE DAILY DOUGHNUTS SERVED UP SIMPLE AND CHEAP! No frills. Cash only. Coffee and doughnuts is it. Friendly service. But, oh, that's all you need when it comes to Good Time. Family owned by a lovely Vietnamese couple, Good Time is a go-to for doughnuts in Holland. (My only exception: I'll crawl across a field of broken glass for DeBoer's bacon-striped maple glazed long johns--but that's for a different review.) As you'll see in others' reviews, GT's apple fritters taste downright legendary--sugary sweet gifts from the Almighty as far as I'm concerned. But try their tasty fresh baked cousins, too! I regularly buy doughnuts here by the dozen for my students during finals week, and the staff always ask how my classes are going, how much time is left in the semester, etc. Always friendly and always fast. Good Time is proud to serve Hope College and the surrounding community. See you soon, Good Time! --Jayson read more

I challenge you to find a better fritter anywhere. They have an extensive variety beyond the fritters and they're all great, but wow, those fritters are something special. Friendly staff and awesome pricing. read more

Good Time Donuts - Raspberry Fritter. - Bakeries Near Me - Holland, Michigan

No frills donut shop and is cash only. The donuts are good for the money you pay for. If you are looking for traditional donuts, this is the place to go. Nothing was labeled, so not too sure what all the offerings were. I got the fruit danish and it was very sweet. Definitely need coffee or something to help cut the sweetness. read more

Donuts were great. Very hard to order and hear. It's outside and you yell almost through the door. There is a plastic thing where the exchange of cash only and donuts happen. However there is no posted menu so you have to look through the window and hope to get the donut you want and see all the donuts. Overall the donuts were good- the experience left something to be desired. read more

A staple whenever I'm in the area. Amazing selection and flavorful donuts. Cheap, no frills and family owned; what else can you hope for? Do yourself a favor and try their apple fritter or maple flavored jumbo cinnamon roll style donut. You won't regret it read more

The best, freshest doughnuts I've had and for $1.25 each I don't know how they stay open! They were perfectly baked (or fried, I'm not a chef), and the flavor was awesome. Only one note: bring cash because plastic won't get you the goods! I'll be back and I'll be talking about these doughnuts for a while! read more

Amazing donuts. These are some of the best that I've ever had! Do yourself a favor and visit Good Time Donuts!!!!!

I'm from Chicago and to to Holland to visit my family and every morning I take the Amtrak back to Chicago and I have to stop by this donut shop and I'm always a little early so i sit around and wait for the rain with a great cup of coffee and donuts. The gentleman that owns the place knows me and asks about my family and hows Chicago very nice of him. Hes told me about his rough life as a child and about his parents on how they died in front of him back in Vietnam, sad story. The donuts are freshly made early in the morning everyday. Mm mm mm so good I could eat them everyday. I love the Boston cream donuts that's all I get when I go there I do need to try new ones. lol i live watching him and how all his regulars know him and he knows what they all get he doesnt even have to ask. Great place very friendly service. read more

I was here once, four years ago and still think about the fritters. Best I've ever had, hope I'll be back someday for more.

I would say this is the spot to get donuts in town. The inside has an old school feel that reminds you of the simple things and old times and hopefully good times. It has been here for ages and the owner has been a family friend for as long as I can remember. My parents brought me here, and I might have made them take me before my train ride back to Chicago. I like to come here for something sweet every once in a while and reminisce over good times in Holland. There is plenty of options of donuts, danishes, and muffins depending on what you are in the mood for. I usually get something different all the time. Recently went for the apple danish, and that was delish! For me the place is a good introduction or ending to downtown, like goodbye or welcome to Holland. Start or end the trip with something sweet and hope you have a good time here! read more

Disclaimer: This is during COVID-19, so there's no way you can go into the establishment and I went on a Saturday morning so times and reviews may differ amongst people. The service was smooth, relatively easy. Don't be afraid to ask them question about anything. Price was not too bad at all for the donuts. Pretty fast service. Doughnuts were not bad at all, very good doughnuts overall. If I did not have to move, this would be my usual go to spot. read more

They are amazing donuts and it's always open. Went there at midnight and the owner was making donuts. Real hidden gem.

The best donuts in Holland + the most kind owners! We come every time we're in the area :)

Best donuts I have found in SW Michigan!! Efficient service. Just perfect fritter and old fashioned donuts

The best tasting donuts in town! My favorite is the glazed old fashioned. Make sure to bring cash, no plastic accepted here. read more

If u like donuts or love donuts, are a casual donut eater or a fanatic like me then u know the diff between a cake and a raised donut roll then u prob know your donuts either way this place is def for u. I've been coming here since my childhood and I always make sure to stop in when I'm back in town. The donuts here are the real deal and best I've ever had and I've lived in 7 states and have visited all 50. My faves are the apple fritters, custard filled choc long johns, glazed and sprinkle donuts. Also the pig n blankets are hands down the best in town. They may not always be out so be sure to ask if they have any in the back. Everything is also super reasonably priced. They only take cash tho. If u ever visit holland or r just passing thru this is a must try! read more

Best donuts we have had in years!! Just stopped in this morning for the first time and plan to be back!! Friend recommend after we drove past yesterday and they had great things to say as well! Cash only but worth it! read more

Best coffee and donuts in town! The prices can't be beat either. I've been coming here for almost 20 years and this place rocks. Coffee is always freshly ground. Donut assortment is huge and they all taste amazing. The pig n blankets are out of bounds but they run out early. The owners are also the nicest people. read more

Love the cinnamon rolls (best in town) and the old fashioned donuts..would like to see more pay options but still a good place for donuts

Yummy doughnuts in an old school (nothing fancy) atmosphere. They had a good selection and were willing to fill up a cream donut for us. It turned out to be whipped cream, not buttercream, but it was still very good. A bit of sprucing up the place would get it a more favorable review. As it was, I wasn't interested in eating in the shop. read more

Super good donut shop! My son loved the pigs in a blanket. All of the donuts we tried were delicious.

This is the best donut place in Holland! I'm so glad we don't have those nasty chain donut places, instead we have been blessed with this little gem. It may not look like much from the outside but the minute you try a mouth full of the fluffiest donut ever you will understand why you must return. Just be careful, one bite is like crack. You will be back for your next donut fix! read more

If you arrive and the place looks closed, try the door, they will most likely be open. Donuts were fresh and delicious, even at 8:30 at night. Fantastic maple bar! read more

Best donuts in town! A good crisp on the outside and not greasy. For filling they insert it from two ends so you don't end up with a half-filled donut. They offer a large variety of donuts as well as some muffins, cookies, coffee, and drinks including Country Dairy milk. Sure the inside is dated (recently painted) but for us, that adds to the experience of finding a hidden gem. Kids like sitting by the fish tank and watching trains roll by. We regularly get the cake donut with chocolate frosting, that with chocolate chips, powdered raspberry filled, old-fashioned, Bavarian creme, and the "hand" which has apple cinnamon filling. read more

A place to go with people you really care about! You'll never get tired of these delightful donuts! It's not called Good Times for nothing! Come share the GOOD TIMES! read more

For the city of Holland they are as good as there is, with no Major company like Shiply or lamars a Duncun or Regional powerhouse like Sweet waters Doughnuts this local Mom & pop shop is the best in Town. The Down side in a world of convenience they only take cash. So for the Business man who would like to order over the phone for an assistant to pick up you will be better suited doing business with a supermarket as the Two major Doughnut shops are Mom & pop shops & cash only. If a Sweet Water or a Shiplys would open a franchise store in Holland it might mean extinction for a Mom or Pop cash only shop like those in Holland. For now The Good Time Doughnut Shop is best in show. That said if your from Ottawa town it may be slightly below your standerd read more

I love this place. The owner is such a hard worker. Sometimes he doesn't hear the bell on the door ring and you might have to wait, but this gives you more time to talk to friends or if you've come alone to think about your future. Donuts are top notch and the koi fish add to the nice atmosphere. read more

Always fresh, no stinting on fillings, toppings, etc., and lots of choice. Very reasonable prices, too.

Wonderful! Excellent homemade donuts and a fantastic cinnamon roll. Do not be dissuaded by the exterior - inside is donut heaven.

These Donuts are the complete package: They have a rich taste, and a perfect texture. The shop itself is located on a nice street corner, and has a very relaxing vibe to it. read more
