Holt's Donuts - Grandview

A small Charming little Donut shop. But don’t blink while looking for it or you’ll pass it by. The Service is Pleasant and the Donuts taste much better than Franchised Donut shops

I was visiting from Iowa and I'm so glad I found this local donut shop. Homemade donuts that were AMAZING!! Highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a good donut

These are the freshest donuts you’ll find in the KC area. Far better tasting than any of the more famous spots and cheaper as well.

If you comb through the high reviews you'll see lots of praise for service, price, and nostalgia. I'm only here to review the food. The cake donuts are dry and bready. The glazed donuts have a hint more moisture, but not enough to improve the flavor. The frosted donuts are inedible. They tasted as though a can of Pillsbury frosting had some flavoring extract and coloring added to it. Saccharine with almost no supporting flavor. The glazed raised donuts are the only thing keeping this review from 1 star. They aren't anything special, but they have an expected mid level of sweetness. I recommend driving anywhere else to get a dozen. Even thawed, delivered frozen, gas station or grocery store donuts have a better balance of flavor than these.
