Holtman's Doughnut Shop

Reviewed By irunnoft - North Carolina

We thought we were going to the Holtman's Donut location near Cincinnati, but thanks to Siri...we wound up at the Loveland location. What a find! The people here were so friendly and the donuts were nothing short of yeasty pillows of love! Yeah...they were THAT good! We got a dozen and, as we headed down the road towards NC, we wished we'd bought another dozen. These are some of the best donuts EVER!

Graeter's

Handcrafted for Five Generations Since 1870. Louis and Regina Graeter started handcrafting Graeter's Ice Cream in 1870. Today, generations later, we proudly remain family owned and operated. This is made possible thanks to you, our legion of loyal fans. For a century and a half, Graeter's has remained steadfast in our commitment to making ice cream in 2 gallon French Pots one batch at a time.

The best ice cream available! Creamy, fresh and flavorful...with the most amazing chocolate chunks around. The quality of Graeter’s Ice Cream is never compromised. A historic family business that is highly respected...but isn’t afraid to try something new and innovative.

Got a great $50 4 course meal deal. Included app, salad, entree and dessert. Place is cute and in heart is downtown Loveland. Food is delicious and service is great. Only issue is parking in the area. Had to park a few blocks away. Not an issue because it was a beautiful night.

Reviewed By russellp117 - Freeland, Michigan

Had an hour before going to a play. The server assured us that they had several menu items that they could meet out timing. I had lamb and beef schwarma with fresh hot pita bread. My wife had chicken schwarma. Our friend had lamb cabbage rolls. Everything was wonderful. The pitas were hot off the grill. The lamb was perfect! The owner pitched in to make sure our meal was on time and perfect! We were out in 1 hour with time to spare! Highly recommend this restaurant!

It's like I'm a kid again! Soft serve ice cream like no other! Really creamy and delicious! We usually get their cones either vanilla or vanilla/chocolate swirl. My husband almost always has his cone dipped in their chocolate and it is fantastic! Great way to top off a meal or make a special trip at night just for ice cream!

In the area for the first time. Found this little gem by searching Trip Advisor. Mahi wrap was awesome. Crinkle fries were good. My husband got the Turkey burger and cup of chili. Both were very good. Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was very interesting & comfortable. Would definitely stop in again.

My family and i come to the melting pot annually. Recently we have been coming more with just my husband and our two boys. The food is always implacable as well as all the employees including managers. Its always a bonus when our favorite server Ariel is working when we have the time to come, as we always make sure to ask if shes working when we come in. The melting pot is the best!

Have been going to Paxton's for 15 years or so. It is consistant and is usually OK. Nice location in Downtown Loveland right on the Bike Trail.
