We arrived in the later afternoon on a Saturday. The store is bright and appears to be well kept. We were immediately greeted upon entry, and pleasantly surprised to find a fair amount of choices left! As we looked over our choices, the employee offered a sample of their donut holes as a first time visitor! The donut holes were nice. Fluffy and nice, not overly sweet. We ordered a glazed persian, glazed crueller and a cotton candy. My daughter didnt care for the cotton candy topping, but no points loss since it is preference issue. It was a little toooo sugary for us. Husband reports French crueller was really good, well made and good flavor. Persian was a bit too sweet for him. I ordered a sugar twist to enjoy later, imagining it to be soft and fluffy like the donut hole. We will be bringing the rest of our kiddos here to check it out in the future! read more

This was my third stop on the donut trail, and Holtman's stood out as the most modern-looking shop. I loved that you could see right into their kitchen--it adds a fun, behind-the-scenes feel to the experience! Their donuts are beautifully made, and I decided to try the doughsant ($4.25). Its shape reminded me of Parlor's version, though I found it not flaky enough, especially at that price point. The location is easy to access, with plenty of parking. It's almost a standalone building, except for one neighboring business. Overall, a nice stop if you're exploring the local donut scene! read more

Make sure you go early if you want the specialty donuts. Those go fast. Especially the maple bacon.

Ok you got me. donuts off the chart. Massive variety, can't go wrong with any of them. A bit on the pricier side, but well worth it. Only complaint would be the coffee is not very good. Will be back for more when in the area. read more

I have to say that I am a huge Holtmans fan but today I was truly disappointed when I stopped in this particular location. The worker was more worried about singing to the music vs hearing any of our questions or what it was we wanted. The selection was the worst I've seen at any location. I would have expected a low selection as it gets closer to their closing time but they barely had any of the basics. There was literally one type of yeast donuts. Location was clean and as always, has a great vibe. Just wish the experience would have been better. read more

My mom and I make a trip here whenever I'm home. It's our special thing to do :). We always come in and get a dozen and pack it without our favorites and of course a seasonal specialty or two. Follow them on instagram to keep up with the flavors! There's tons of parking here. We usually go early in the morning and have our pick of all the donuts varieties. My favorites are the plain yeast raised glazed and the red velvet cake donut. I haven't had a bad donut but some of them can get wildly sweet. The pic included with this one is a good smattering of their regular offerings plus a pumpkin one! They have coffee, milk, juice and a number of seats at this location. You can also see into the kitchen and watch them make donuts! I obviously recommend and will be back. read more

If you love doughnuts, and want something better than the chain stores (I'm looking at you, Dunkin'), than Holtman's is worth checking out. Stopped in after dining at Matt the Miller's...wow they had such a large selection still! I thought with it being about an hour or so before close, the options would be slim. Your best option here, IMO, is what they have named the Doughssant, the croissant doughnut. It was fluffy, delicious, and worth the carbs and calories. Would have loved to try the Creme Brûlée donut, but it was not on display. Also ordered a red velvet, this is a pass. The cake was lacking flavor, and the "cream cheese frosting" was sugar overload...like gritty feeling, upon consuming. The apple fritter was meh...slightly burnt. Though the staff are pleasant, do not expect them to be super knowledgable. Asked about a gluten free option, the reply was, "The vegan donut is the closest?" The croissant donut is perfection at Holtman's, everything else pales in comparison! read more

I just ate the freshest plain blueberry cake donut. My husband got one with cream cheese icing on top. They stay open later than most of the donut Shops on the Butler county donut trail. They were our first stop as we got into town too late to start the trail. read more

Holtman's Donuts - A dozen donuts (with a few missing!)!! - Donuts Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

This is a very nice location of Holtman's Donuts. Its just off I-75 and has ample parking. Out front there is a really nice patio with tons of space &tables. Inside there are several small tables and 1 large table. There normally would be more, but currently due to spacing guidelines its limited. There is a large picture window with a view into the actual bakery area, which is kind of neat for the kids. Now for the most important part, the donut case! This itself takes up about half the length of the space. Obviously get here early for the best selection, even on weekdays. I am not sure if they restock later in the day or not (because they are open late). Adjacent to the counter is a coffee station. On this visit, as it was early afternoon on a weekday, I had the pleasure of taking a little time to speak to the lovely and helpful ladies working. Make sure to get your donut passport (and stamp) for the *Butler County Donut Trail* which they are part of. Did you know they will make you a giant donut (cake size) to your liking as far as fillings and toppings? The price is super reasonable, and what a unique creative alternative to cake! I purchased a carrot cake donut, creme brulee donut, blueberry cake donut, and an eclair. Everything was fantastic. The creme brulee was my favorite. These guys really excel when it comes to specialty donuts. They make a donut taste like a specific item perfectly (like creme brulee). I have never tried their coffee. read more

I am so glad I finally got to try Holtman's! My grandma lives in Fairfield, and she and I talked about getting Holtman's a couple years ago. I kind of forgot about it and then when I was staying with her and my Papa for a full week during Easter, she reminded me that we needed to go to Holtman's. Don't gotta tell me twice! She and I went in on a weekday morning. We were immediately enamored by the countless array of options. I actually think the employee behind the counter got a kick out of a 35 year old woman and her 90 year old grandma just "oohing" and "aaahing" over all of these donuts! The employee was very friendly and I was bummed that there wasn't an option to offer a tip on a credit card. When I asked if I could tip that way, he said they didn't have that option and although I was disappointed, he said "It's totally ok!" He was so friendly! We carefully selected our treats (a full dozen!) and promptly looked forward to devouring them at home. We took them back and I was very delighted at how good these donuts are! The maple cream-filled long John was my favorite. And it may be the best maple long John I've had (and I'm a tough critic with donuts!). The only thing that makes Holtman's lose a star for me is because the next day, I went to go get a few donuts for breakfast (less than 24 hours later) and the frosting had completely melted off and turned into a puddle at the bottom of the box. Which indicates to me that they must use a lot of butter in their frosting. So pretty much all of the leftover donuts weren't really that great because they were all missing frosting. So my recommendation would be to just get donuts for that particular day and don't really plan to have leftovers. If you do, maybe keep them in the fridge? Either way, I'm so glad that I finally made it to Cincy's number one donut destination! I will for sure be back. read more

I've been here twice now and both times, my experience was amazing. I really enjoyed the adorable space and how you can actually see the donuts being made! The selection is borderline overwhelming- there are so many beautiful donuts to choose from. In the past, I tried a Cookie Monster donut that had cookie dough on it and it was so cute and so tasty! On my most recent visit, I went with the lucky charms donut and it was spectacular! The service is great with friendly employees. They are doing a great job keeping everything safe in the times of Covid. I definitely plan to hit this donut shop up for more treats next time I'm in the area! read more

The donuts are fresh and have a crispy bite to them before you sink into the fluffy (or cakey) goodness that is a Holtman's donut. Most are about a dollar a donut but their special donuts cost a little more. Totally worth the extra $ for that apple fritter! Though, come early for the fritter because the first visit I arrived at 10:30a and they were sold out (hubby went next Day at 7:30a and snagged 3!) They have plenty of options for cake donuts as well as yeast donuts. Red velvet cake is delicious, the buckeye is good is you love peanut butter, and the different iced yeast rings are fun and delicious. They offer ample seating and have a variety of beverages to complement your donuts. We noticed that people would get a box of donuts (6-12) and chow down before leaving the store. You can also see them make the donuts from the front of the store which is neat. Service is friendly too! Can't wait for the Oakley location to open up! read more

Crazy good! There are a few different types of donut shops. There's your local fresh donut shop. There's your mass-produced donut shop, such as Dunkin donuts or Krispy Kreme. And there's your fresh specialty donut places. Holtman's donuts is one of those specialty places. Holtman's have some classics but they also have some pretty cool twists on donuts. Whether it's their maple bacon, or their cereal topped donuts, or anything in between, they get pretty creative here and there is something for everyone, guaranteed! Unlike a lot of the mom-and-pop local places, Holtman's has donuts all day long. Whereas a lot of the other local shops are closed by midday, I've never gone into Holtman's and found them to have bare shelves. Would I go back? I go way too much, as it is. You will go back too, guaranteed. If you don't like Holtman's, you don't like donuts! And if you don't like donuts, then what the heck do you possibly like? read more

We were weekly customers to this location up until Covid hit. Then once or twice after until about a month ago when my 8 year old asked for it once out of the blue. Went to the location and were greeted as usual, chose our half dozen and left. Got home and discovered that 1/6 of the yeast dozens was still raw in the middle. Since this was a first of its kind for us we paid no mind and threw it away. Then about a week or so later he asked again for his sprinkled donuts from here and we went and got our half dozen as usual. On the way home I started eating a fritter and thought that the filling had a strange texture and taste to it. Turns out it was partially raw. As well as two other yeast donuts that appeared cooked but we're not on the inside. So now that's 3/6 that we're thrown away. It's been a couple of weeks now and he asked for his sprinkled donuts again, which have been fine, we checked since the last time, and so we made the drive. We walked in this time, with no one in line but two women were behind the counter standing next to one another chatting and looking out as if waiting for a customer. We walked up to be greeted but they just stood there chatting and looking at us. And yes they were chatting because they were talking about back to school stuff. I motioned that we were there and ready and finally she said what can I get you. That should have been my first sign to leave as I was just gonna get donuts for him, but my wife wanted to tag along as well. So we ordered his 3 sprinkled donuts and she and I took the chance to order 2 fritters and 1 cronut. Paid and left without a thank you or see you again. Very odd. Then the horror of the story, I went for the cronut first which looked perfectly fine on the outside but knew better than to trust that and tore it open first. For what they are charging for these it should be criminal. The donut side thankfully was cooked but the croissant side had no interior whatsoever. None. Completely hollow. Just the outer shell. Next, the real horror, the first fritter was torn open and thank goodness I did cause once again it was not fully cooked. Opened the second fritter and it was also the same and not fully cooked. Raw dough people. Salmonella. Three times in roughly 30-60 days and we're one family getting raw donuts? No thanks. I'll only come back if I can't find a better sprinkled donut for my little guy. read more

Some of the best donuts I have ever ate! I am not a donut person. I maybe eat them once every few years. However, fortunately a guest picked up a box as a thank you gift for our family so I was able to sample over a dozen! Holtman's knocks it out of the park. We ate a late batch and they tasted so fresh. The blueberry cream were my favorite. The cream is thick and indulgent, not syrupy at all. Another personal favorite were the apple fritters, also phenomenal. I would love to visit them in person! This experience motivated me to try to complete the Cincinnati donut trail! read more

This Holtman's location gets top marks for donut quality, ample seating, an awesome view into the kitchen, fresh coffee, and the fact that it's only a short drive from my home in Liberty Township. Visiting is a special occasion but we always enjoy whatever donuts we order and it's great having a Holtman's so close. This store loses a star, however, for the ordering experience which is made worse by the randomness of the menu. Going to Holtman's is a gamble. You quite literally never know what you're going to get when you show up. Even the maple bacon donut, which I had thought was a staple, wasn't on offer last time I went. Unless you always get something basic, there's no way of deciding what you want before you get there. But then once you arrive? There's a line of people blocking the display case, so you have to hover behind them to figure out what you want or send someone in your group to do this and report back. And they only label maybe 1/3 of the donuts so you don't even know what you're looking at. Finally, it's loud in there and the glass is really high which personally makes it hard for me to even make my order heard let alone ask questions about the unlabeled donuts on display. How about labeling ALL the donut flavors? What about a beer tap-style digital menu near the entrance that shows what's available? Routing the line differently? Again, it always works out and whatever I get is delicious, but the experience could be smoother. read more

"Possible Anomaly?" Heard some great things about it. The store was nice, clean, well organized and the staff were super nice. In my attempts not to "balloon" out as a human, I elected to go with a single donut. They all looked visually appealing. I opted with the maple icing donut, and just gotta say it was average. The icing as a bit "crusty" if I could use that term, sorta like a tad bit too dry and not creamy. I had two bites and tossed it, which if super rare for me when it comes to donuts. Because I spent time in Seattle, maybe Ive been spoiled with Top Pot Donuts and their maple bar, best I've ever had. But while I did not expect that from this joint, I did expect a bit better. At least the price was decent, I think $1.25. I will go back, maybe on a Saturday morning when the inventory might be fresh. I feel bad giving them the three stars, actually. read more

From the moment you step out is your vehicle, the smell pulls you in. Sweet scents of sugar and spice carry you into the store and the options are endless.

Tons of donuts, even in the last hour before close, makes this place a great stop for delicious fried dough.

The line continued to move, after 10 minutes at the most I was now ordering a dozen of some of the tastiest donuts I have ever had. I ordered several different kinds of donuts including coco puffs covered donut that is very good.

Delicious and decadent. The donuts look amazing and taste as good as they look. We had a big lunch and were still pretty full when we saw this place at 6pm. It's a cool looking shop so we decided to stop in after some shopping at Duluth Trading Company. As you enter you can see into the the kitchen, where their exquisite donuts are created. The donuts are a bit bigger than most donuts shops and are creatively decorated and frosted. The prices are also a little higher but well worth it. We got the chocolate donut with chocolate glaze and a raspberry filling, a raspberry jelly donut, an apple danish and a blueberry danish. They were all in a word, sublime. Though it had been awhile since they were made, they stilled tasted fresh and wonderfully fried without being greasy. They were just the right kind of sweet. Fried dough perfection. read more
