The Most Delicious Donuts in Cincinnati

Bill's Donut Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (810) • $

"I traveled from Cincinnati, had a job assignment near the area. The local DD wasn't open so I gave this pace a try. The store front wasn't what I expected, was a bit hard to find the entrance. The ambiance isn't colorful or inviting like other donuts or pastry shops. I like that the shop is a 24/hr service. I work third shift so this is helpful for a late night pick me up. Plenty of donut options/flavors. I purchased some donuts for me and my coworkers and some hot beverages. I rate the donut flavors 9.5/10. I wasn't overwhelmed with sugar but donuts were bursting with flavor. Coffee was good as well. Customer service was basic no, complaints. Bakers/workers are doing their best serving the community throughout the day. Smiles can go both ways just be mindful we're all human beings."

"Awesome donuts and I love that they are open late! I'm not always a morning person and sometimes on the weekend I just don't want to eat for a few hours after I wake up.I did like they offered gluten free though only on tuesdays I think they said.They did offer fresh hot donuts though I declined since I wasn't really sure what donuts those would be and I was still browsing."

Milton's Donuts

★★★★★ 4.5 (124) • $

"Okay, what can I say, I love donuts. I am picky about my donuts as well. Wherever I travel,I look for a local donut joint. I have one of the best on my neck of the woods. Milton's donuts have been around forever and they are one of the best. Everything they make is good and super fresh. If you go, get the fried cheese donut. Your mouth will thank you!"

Jim's Donut Shop

"Excellent donuts! Love their peach fritters! All their donuts are decent and good."

Jupiter Coffee and Donuts

★★★★★ 4.5 (90) • $

"Great apple fritters and a good variety of donuts. Excellent coffee selections. Also their Kettle Danish are delicious"

Stan the Donut Man

★★★★☆ 4.1 (64) • $

"If you're looking for a classic donut shop, Stan the Donut Man is a great option. Located in an unassuming strip mall, their donuts were fresh and tasty. I had the sour cream donut, which was moist and cakey. My husband had a twist that had a surprise thin layer of cinnamon inside and he said was very good.The woman working was friendly and patient with our indecisiveness."

Holtman's Donut Shop

★★★★☆ 4 (55)

"Yesterday, my brother and his girlfriend took me to Holtman's donut shop for the first time and it was an absolute dream. There was a giant line out the door because their donuts are fantastic. We arrived around 11 o'clock which is late apparently because I saw some donuts on here and the ones that I got were not as elaborate but still yummy. I just ate the buckeye doughnut which was fantastic and I really want it again but I live in Columbus. I cannot wait to go back to this donut place next time I'm in Cincinnati to try more of their yummy sweets. This is a must try place"

Coffee Hub

★★★★★ 4.8 (37) • $$

"I was traveling from out of state and came into this cute little coffee shop in downtown Xenia. I ordered their vegetable and bacon quiche with avocado. I also ordered a medium cappuccino with whole milk. Both were excellent. I can't get over the quiche. It was probably the best quiche I ever had, and I'm a quiche fanatic. I don't know how they cook avocado inside the quiche, but it comes out perfectly. The service was exceptional, making it a must-go place. You will not be disappointed if you're from out of town or live nearby."

Paradise Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.2 (45) • $

"I'm glad they opened back up, the donuts are excellent and the people who work here are great but the prices make this an occasional stop instead of a regular stop, which if you are watching the waistline I guess could be looked at as a plus considering how good the donuts are."

Bismarck Donuts and Coffee Co

★★★★★ 4.5 (16)

"Very good donuts! Great selection! Very nice workers - they knew the two customers in front of me by first name."

Mimi's Lil Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (20) • $

"I tried Mimi's Donuts while on the Donut Trail. Saturday morning of Father's Day, my husband and I decided to take our DT list and go around with our daughter and try most of the shops listed. This was one of the stops on the Donut Trail. While on the trail we only got one donut per shop. It doesn't sound like a lot, but go to 8 donut shops in one day in 3.5 hrs, talk about a sugar overload! Lol! It was all fun and yummy though! Lol. We ordered a Blueberry Lemon donut from this location. From every location we tried something different. This was a Blueberry donut topped with lemon frosting. It was actually good and tasted homemade. I like that this donut is unique to them and you cannot order this at every donut shop. It was well balanced on the blueberry and lemon flavors. It was a yummy donut! Overall, Mimi's had a good unique donut that we enjoyed."

Peace, Love and Little Donuts

★★★★☆ 3.9 (19)

"This place is groovy and awesome. Sorry for the hippy line. Seriously this place is adorable. Tiny donuts made to order and so many flavors. It was hard to decide. I got the six pack the salted caramel pb&j lemon ginger Samoa salted pretzel and white chocolate raspberry. I am still enjoying them but so far A+."

Coffee Hub - Centerville

★★★★★ 4.7 (13)

"This little coffee shop was bumping on a weekday morning. No worries - they were adequately staffed, and the service was fast and friendly. Their baked goods were excellent and served warm. This was my first visit here so to other new folks - parking and entry door are on the back of the building."

Donut Palace

★★★★☆ 4.3 (15) • $

"Next time I visit Donut Palace; I am eating in! There is three or four cafe tables and a two couches that makes a nice little nook to enjoy coffee and donuts or a hand-dipped ice cream with a book. The coffee is from a local roaster, Boston Stoker. This visit i ate a cream filled donut, that fit the billed."

Donut Palace

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (26)

"Okay, not great, but I think it depends on what you like in a donut. I agree with the prior reviews in terms of easy access of I-70. The drive-thru was quick and prices reasonable: 1/2 dozen donuts for $5.49.So if you like cake donuts, this is your place. It is a very heavy cake and, holy cow, serious sugar rush from the frosting. The frosting tastes to me like whipped butter and cane sugar. My family said, "We'll, we tried it," but I don't think we'd go there again."

The Donut Hole By Milton's Donuts

★★★★★ 4.5 (10)

"To my surprise this location by Milton's is good. I tried the one in Middletown and was not impressed. However, I decided to give this one a try and was pleased. My husband and I initially thought it was the previous location, The Donut House. They closed and we thought they reopened. However, when I walked in and was talking to the guy working the counter, I found out this was a totally different donut company. He was very nice and patient. I took a few minutes to decide what I truly wanted. After a few minutes of being indecisive, I made my mind up. I ordered a regular donut with maple icing, a blackberry jelly filled donut, and he suggested the cream cheese filled donut. All three donuts were so good! They were tender but had the perfect chew. The jelly filled donut reminded me of a toaster strudel (yes the pillsbury ones). I actually really enjoy those. The jelly was also good and didn't taste artificial like other places. The maple icing was light and wasn't overpowering. The cream cheese filled was very good and different. The guy working mentioned it was their top seller, and I can see why. Overall, their donuts are good! I'm glad we got a good donut spot not far from where I live. This will be the donut go to spot."

Dunkin'

"Best staff at Dunkin 100%, go here almost every day. Tip the employees, and be understanding when there is a wait time, almost everywhere is understaffed these days."

"We had a softball tournament this weekend and I went both days and both days the service was excellent. The ladies at the window the first day were so nice. I told them about the tournament and they were thankful for the heads up. Today!!! A young man that works inside was exceptional. He is going to be an excellent asset to any company he's with. He hustled, so nice and you can tell he has great work ethic. He was busy but you'd never know. I'm not sure his name but keep him! He's great!!"

Moonrise Donuts

★★★☆☆ 3 (10)

"I've heard so many good things about donuts and was glad we finally got to try them! I didn't get to try the hot donut and I think that's what everyone looks forward to. The other donuts were more basic flavors. But they were really amazing. They don't taste greasy and heavy like so many donuts. The frosting was also really thick and flavorful. A good doubt I guess I was just expecting more exciting flavors. But maybe the main store and has more. But the ones we had were good. And a good price too."
