    Get the custard filled Long John. It's a treat. Perfect size and filling. The custard is also rich and creamy. To be frank, Donut King does classic donuts well. Plus all their donuts look delicious! They also have a few modern takes like Oreo and Biscoff donuts. There's good service with outdoor seating. Inside there's really only room to grab and go. Overall a great quick stop for some fantastic donuts.

    Got the apple fritter, but there were lots of options I wanted to try. The apple fritter was $5 before tax, which is a lot for a donut in my opinion, although they are pretty big. The donut was crispy and delicious, even after I got it later in the day. The woman in the shop was super sweet and attentive. Hope to come again soon to try another flavor!

    Delicious donuts. Light and fluffy. Too many heavy/oily donut places on the Island, so this is definitely a find. The Ube glazed was probably one of the best donuts that I've ever had.

    Bacon egg and cheese croissant and donuts
    Tim C.

    I came here with my family and ordered a bacon egg and cheese croissant, a regular croissant, a glazed donut, a cake donut with sprinkles, and a croissant donut. This place might be called Donut King, but the bacon egg and cheese croissant was legit - it was huge and quite tasty. They warmed it up for us, which made a big difference. It was on the pricey side, but definitely filling enough for one person's breakfast. The glazed donut was solid - nice, light, and fluffy texture with just the right amount of glaze. The cake donut was just ok. The croissant donut had an enjoyable flaky texture, but was a bit too sweet for my liking. The space is small, it's just enough space to walk in and order from the counter. There's a 3% added surcharge to use a credit card instead of cash. Parking was pretty easy, as it shares the big parking lot with other stores.

    Donut King - Kailua Let me tell you about a little slice of heaven tucked into the heart of Kailua--Donut King. Or as my kids now call it, "The Royal House of Bites So Good They Might Be Illegal." We rolled in expecting a simple sugar fix... we rolled out half an hour later, in a powdered-sugar daze, clutching an empty box and questioning all of life's choices that didn't involve croissant bites. First up: the croissant bites. Flaky. Buttery. Glazed like a donut's rich cousin who just got back from pastry school in Paris. They've got that perfect "crispy on the outside, soft and layered on the inside" texture that makes your eyes close involuntarily with each bite. I caught my 7-year-old whispering "I love you" to one of them. Then there are the donut holes--sweet little nuggets of joy. I thought they were just for the kids... until I tasted one. Let's just say we now operate on a strict "one for you, two for me" policy. Check the photo--yes, they really look that good. No filters. Just love, glaze, and probably a little magic. Bottom line: Donut King isn't just serving pastries--they're out here ruining every other donut spot for you forever. 12/10 would sprint back. Go early, or risk missing out on the glory. And don't forget to bring napkins--and maybe a second box. You'll need it. #TeamDadApproved #CroissantCrush #HoleInMyHeartWhenThey'reGone

    Little donut shop with a variety of delicious sweet treats. There was a little bit of a line but it moved fairly quickly. I wanted to try their croissant bites which was mini croissants with a glaze on top. It was not bad, pretty good. I could honestly eat like A LOT in one sitting knowing me. But i bought a dozen and knew it had to at least last me the whole day so I couldn't just eat it all at once. The only con is that the donut shapes aren't consistent. Some are a lot bigger and some are very small. So if I ordered half a dozen or a dozen, I would want to get my money worth and not take a chance on getting a tiny donut.

    Simply Amazing. Donut Kind Hawaii at Kailua is serving up some of the freshest, airest donuts on island (for a reasonable price too)! They are most known for their bacon donuts which was sold out by the time I got there. So of course, I had to try their classics. I got a glazed, chocolate, and cinnamon sugar donut. All three were spot on amazing. No complaints. The cinnamon sugar was my favorite. It had just a good amount of sugar to the point where I wasn't jumping off walls. Service was excellent as well. The aunty working was so sweet and grateful we came in. 10/10, I would come back.

    There are no words. We were coming home from breakfast and had to pull over for a post-breakfast treat. ;-) Donut King never disappoints. So fresh, soft and delicious. Mind you....technically we were not even hungry! The maple bacon donut is simply....heavenly. And loaded with so much bacon the bits kept falling off with each bite I took. Now that's my kind of "problem". Perfect location. Loads of easy parking. Super pleasant setting. We ate at an outdoor table mainly because we could not wait to take them home to eat them. My only gripe is that they ran out of cute stickers. ;-)

    My family loves Donut King. It's nestled right inside Kailua town. They have a wide selection of donuts and croissants from filled to unfilled. They're generously sized and delicious. Did I mention these donuts are also warmed? Salivating. You can head next door to Morning Brew for a hot cup of coffee too.

    The only donuts we got pictures of before we gobbled them all up.

    I love donuts and Donut King has some of the best I've had! Especially their cake donuts. Many places cake donuts are on the drier side but Donut Kings cake donuts are moist and delicious! The lady at the counter was so friendly and helpful. We chose several donuts cake and yeast and they were all delicious. I can't wait to try more of their donuts and will definitely be back.

    Maple bars - I could literally eat all four of these, but I was nice and shared.
    Jennifer C.

    This is the best donut shop for maple bars, hands down. I get the maple bar every time and it's just heavenly. I just can't get myself to get anything else. I wish they made more throughout the day...maybe they do and it just sells out too quickly. Anyway, it's the best and if you don't want to come in, don't. More for me!

    Since I've been coming to "Zips" for decades, I'm always curious to try their new dishes whenever…read morethey come out with one. I noticed a while ago that they introduced one called firecracker karaage chicken, so that was what I ordered for lunch. I typically use the app for speed and convenience. Just a few clicks, and I was on my way. They usually send a text message when the order is ready, but I didn't get one so I just drove up to the drive-thru, rand the buzzer, and "wallah", my order was ready. The taste and texture wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I would consider karaage, or "firecracker", either. The description in the app said "boneless fried chicken mixed with housemade sauce... topped with spicy mayo sauce". Well, I'll admit, that describes it, but it's just not karaage, and the sauce wasn't that spicy. It tasted like their Korean fried chicken topped with buffalo sauce mixed with mayo. I was expecting the chicken to be "lighter", since traditional karaage doesn't use a batter, and perhaps more of a Sriracha style spicy sauce. Like I said, not bad, just not spicy karaage. The service is always fast and the food and value is good, so I'll keep trying anything new... and hoping.

    Zippy's is a Hawaii staple, and if you're visiting the islands, it's definitely a place you should…read moreexperience at least once. The menu has something for everyone, and the prices are surprisingly affordable. For some reason, I've always thought the takeout felt a little expensive, but dining in makes everything seem much more reasonably priced. Maybe it's just a mind trick! One thing I always appreciate is the service. The staff is consistently friendly, and I especially love that you're often greeted by a local aunty. It gives the restaurant a welcoming, hometown feel that makes the experience even better. My go-to order is usually the Korean Fried Chicken, which never disappoints. But on my most recent visit, a friend convinced me to try his all-time favorite: the spaghetti with chili. I had never even considered putting chili on pasta before, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. It was absolutely delicious and easily one of the biggest surprises I've had at a restaurant. If you're stopping by Zippy's, don't be afraid to order something outside your comfort zone. The spaghetti with chili is an underrated gem that's definitely worth trying. Between the friendly service, generous portions, and local comfort food, it's easy to see why Zippy's has been a favorite in Hawaii for generations.
