Holt's Donuts - Grandview

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.

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.

Excellent cream filled long John's as well as glazed donuts. Very friendly staff. Buy a dozen and get 2 free donuts.

Best donuts this side of kc! Loyal customers for over 30 years!

You should come and see for yourself how great the donuts are . Same location since 1970
