This is An amazing locally owned Donut shop with some of the best tasting, non commercialized donuts! If you haven't been here, it is an absolute must! The staff is so friendly and they are very knowledgeable of their donut flavors and delivery of quality customer service. The ambiance is a quiet place to stop and do work, or meet with friends or drop in and head to the beach. I truly appreciate the experience everytime I drop in with my kids.

Was looking for coffee but instead found a yummy donut place. My kids were very happy about gettin donuts with different flavors too. They also had coffee which was a win for me and I tried their blueberry donut, which was very YUM! The donut was soft and melt in my mouth kind good and the flavor was savory and just the right amount of sweetness. Service was good, the guy was patient and kind especially while we were still deciding. Clean and nice big open space inside where people can sit and just fellowship too. All in all would come here again!

Ube moreover, moreover, chocolate sprinkle, strawberry mango, lychee and matcha

Donuts were soft and tasted fresh. I liked their unique flavors especially the ube oreo...There was only one clerk who appeared from the back room when I walked in. She took my order, didn't make any recommendations or offered any of their specials or drinks. Interior flooring was sticky as I walked in.

Really great island flavors. The donuts are really light and fluffy and not too sweet. My only complaint is the lychee flavor doesn't really come through. Prices were a little high for a donut shop but overall I would recommend.

Donut say it... What took me so long to finally give them a try. As far as I can remember my OG circle of friends we'd categorized ourselves through food as one was ice cream, other fries and me was donut though really not a huge donut fan as many are mass produced items with the traditional glazed topping more as a sugar treat versus a comforting bite. After visiting Claw Fever on this first New Year 2026 day I thought to see what other biz that's offering us their time by opening their doors for us lonely folks and here's Island Glazed with what seems to be a decently stocked display case filled with various fonts with the traditional glazed topping and with some island flavors like Ube, Strawberry Mango, Mango LiHing, Lychee and Pineapple just to name a few it was a difficult choice to pick just one as I was just here for a snack...Strawberry was it. Don't get me wrong as it sounds so basic versus the other bougie choices it was the specks of strawberries that I saw just from the display case that just caught my eye and just had to give them a try as if they can't do strawberry then what lol! All I could taste was strawberries and what a flavor explosion that I didn't expect and as we all have our favorites it was apparent as a guest came in and asked for an item that was sold out contemplated and walked out is disappointment lol so I can understand and appreciate the favorites and gosh I was impressed. The vibe in here is quite cozy with a large comfy sofa and four tables which I took upon as I was in desperate need to find a place to finish my holiday cards to send and immediately knew this was the place. Nice and cool air conditioned shop though without a bathroom does leave me rethinking my decision. Lots of free parking from Pearl Kai is nice and knowing that I'm able to relax and enjoy here is the real treat along with a nicely rounded meal. Thank you!

Dearest beloved Island Glazed, I thought we would be reunited again in 2026. That you would be my first donut of the New Year, warm and familiar, welcoming me back like no time had passed. But alas, my child's hopes, dreams, and aspirations have kept us apart. A sacrifice, though my heart--and stomach--ache all the same. I still remember that first day you came into my life. It was the first day of the New Year (2025), surrounded by fellow Yelpers. Out you came, piping hot, carried by a staff member who surely knew the power of glory she held in her hand. In that moment, I was changed. There has never been another time when I drove back in the same day for a donut, but you demanded nothing less. So fresh, so far, so heartbreakingly sweet in my tastebuds memory. I dream of the day I return to the island to subdue my yearning, to taste you once again, and to heal the months of longing that no other donut could ever soothe. With all my sweet tooth heart, Kim C. Your devoted admirer BACKSTORY: I thankfully got my first experience with Island Glazed with the UYE Yelp Dash for da Donut Crew in 2025. For 10 years thanks to our amazing host Ric C. we gathered together eating a freshly made donut for the new year. Read my review: https://yelp.to/hb2r18cm6W My oldest son is graduating from college this year. Instead of a graduation party he wants a trip in celebration. Amazingly a family trip :) It was up in the air if we would go back home for the holidays or enjoy summer in Hawaii. By reading my love letter you know we decided with the latter. ISLAND GLAZED details: Where: Island Glazed is tucked inside the Pearl Kai Shopping Center in Aiea. Parking: FREE parking Prices: Donuts run about $2.50 each. You can save a bit by getting them half‑dozen or by the dozen. Flavors: The menu rotates through local-inspired treats like guava, lychee, pineapple, ube, lilikoi, matcha, and the classic original glazed "OG" light, airy, and reminiscent of Krispy Kreme. Don't worry when I return in the summer I will reunite with my beloved once again.

We had just gotten off a red eye from Vegas to Oahu. My daughter went to baggage claim and found coffee for me while I waited at the ride share pickup spot. After picking up her car at a friend's house, she took me to Island Glazed. Nice doughnuts! I' m all about Ube when I'm on island. This gorgeous purple hued donut called out to me. Yummy! It sent me to Ube heaven. Do stop here if you're nearby. 11

Took two tries to get the Apple Fritters, scored them on the second attempt. I will admit the pictures I've seen on Yelp are alluring, who doesn't luv an Apple Fritter(?) but these fell flat for me. Maybe it was just the batch I bought but there were so few bites of apples it shouldn't have been labeled as such. The size is very large, the dough tender and sweet, the glaze perfect but two little cubes in the entire fritter doesn't make it in my book of fritters. Parking at Pearl Kai shopping center was great as this was an after lunch pick up. The young man at the counter was so helpful I'd come back just because of him!

Update on Island Glazed well I was craving for some good donuts and of course Island Glazed Pearl Kai shopping center . Last night my nephew friend bought him a dozen donuts from Krispy Kreme (Maui) and I said yeah that's my favorite donuts . Well it wasn't the same compared to the Mainland Krispy Kreme. It wasn't as crispy and the frosting was almost melting . Of course I understand it's hot but when I'm in Vegas during hot season the Krispy Kreme donut can last up to 2days and it's still crispy lol . So that is why today I stopped by Island Glazed my 2nd best donuts in my books . Plus local support

Tara C.

This place had a weird smell on the inside. I had a lot of open space for sitting and having some donuts. The donuts are actually really good. My daughter compared them to a version of Krispy Kreme, but better. Little on the pricey side, but we go back again.

Strawberry glazed donut and donut holes.

There was a young boy who loved Island Glazed Donuts so much that he wrote a note to "Mr. Donut" aka owner, Daniel Lee. With the note was an adorable Hot Wheel Donut race car! See photo. It touched Daniel and he kept the note and Hot Wheel Donut car in an auspicious place on a store shelf. Next to it was an interesting looking Lucky Cat type doll. Not a cat but a collector type Lucky Figure given to Daniel by his friend. Daniel says, I think it's supposed to bring my donut shop good luck. Well, it's nearing it's 2nd year anniversary. So congratulations Daniel! You may wonder why I wanted to share these heartfelt stories with you? It's because it reflects the owner's character and Aloha. I picked the six pack of donuts to buy. I started to select flavors and asked Daniel for suggestions. He knew which ones were popular, so I just asked him to pick the six! Every donut was fluffy, light and full of flavor! Some reviews mentioned the donuts are oily. None of the donuts I tried were oily. The donuts were light, fluffy and the glaze (although on the sweet side) were delicious. I think my favorites were the chocolate macadamia donut and strawberry glazed donut. The donuts are still great the next day. I placed the extras in the refrigerator. Microwave for 10 seconds or less, for a soft texture or just eat straight out of the box lol. So happy I stopped by to try Island Glaze! I'll be back! Support Local! Thank you Daniel. Ample free parking right outside store front. Pearl Kai Shopping Center.

Here's the 6 pack with strawberry, coffee, sprinkle and original.

They were at the Wai Kai Thursday night food truck event and had tried th and I'm hooked! It reminds us of krispy cream but better. They're all so super nice and extremely friendly there and at the Pearl Kai location where we had it again. It's so cute inside and plenty of room for groups. A lot of flavors but our faves is the coffee, matcha, pb&j. Next time gonna have the long John which is my all time donut! I hope they open up another location more on the west side cause they'll do great! Mahalo Island Glazed and we appreciate the hours you open and close :)

We LOOOOVVVEEEE donuts, especially yeast ones!!! So it was only fitting that we would have to head our way to Island Glazed to check out this newest spot. Unfortunately our Sunday morning we pretty busy and we didn't get there till almost 1pm, but lucky for us they still had some things left. It's a cute little shop located at the Pearl Kai Shopping Center with ample parking. The atmosphere in the shop was very welcoming and their customer service was more than excellent. We got a variety of donuts including mango, coffee, matcha, pumpkin spice, ube, pineapple, donut holes and some other flavors. We love how soft and pillowy the donuts are and the flavors are exceptional. What made our visit even better was how kind the owner was (at least we're assuming he's the owner), kindness goes a long way in our book and we will definitely be back for more of these delicious donuts that you can tell were made with love and aloha. read more

Great new donut shop in Pearl Kai Shopping Center. You gotta go check them out! Their donuts are THE BEST! It's so soft and fluffy and they have a nice selection of different flavors. I was really looking forward to trying the coffee flavored donut and after trying it, I thought the coffee flavor could be a lot stronger. It was a little too mild to me. Looking forward to going back to try their other flavors and the hot dog thingie (I forget what it's called). read more

The cutest, cleanest donut shop I've been to on island! We stopped into this adorable little donut spot by our place early this morning (6:30ish) and got a free warm glazed donut for being the day's first customer. Our twins also got some adorable donut stickers - it was so sweet of the staff to offer! Everything is absolutely delicious and well worth it. We planned to share the love but our twins ate half the box to themselves LOL and they can be very picky. Will definitely be stopping here time and time again! Thank you to the staff for being so kind and welcoming and to whoever makes them donuts.... YOU DA BESTEST! EDITED TO ADD: it's the very next day from our first visit (guilty) and I'm just as pleased! I also ordered a latte with oat milk + espresso - did not disappoint! I usually go to Starbucks for 4 shots of espresso + whatever else to make it taste nice but this coffee was just right. No added sugars or sweeteners and I'd say I actually like it better than my usual Starbucks order. Goodbyeeee Starbucks! Coffee and milk from here is all I'll need from now on read more

So happy to have a new doughnut shop in Aiea! Super close to home, which makes it very convenient! Upon entering, we were greeted with a warm hello! My 2 year old son got so excited once he saw a doughnut machine toy on the table. That little toy was such a cute detail to the shop, and as a first time mommy allowed me to sit down, relax, and enjoy my doughnut in peace lol. He was very into it, and now I think I have to buy him one for home. Haha. My mom also came with us and she got excited once she saw there was ube doughnuts as well! We first ordered half a doz. While we were sitting, I took one bite of the glaze doughnut, and omg.... It was so fresh! Warm, light, fluffy! It was better than Krispy Kreme... since my son was so occupied with the doughnut machine toy... I was already convinced from that one bite that I need to buy a full dozen box to bring to my father in law! Soo yummy! I can't wait to try all their flavors. What was really nice was that the owners were so friendly, came by to talk to check on us, and as customers were coming in they made time to talk to every single one of us in the shop. We will definitely be back for sure!!! read more

Today was their second day open and it was AMAZING! Their donuts are incredibly soft & remind me of Krispy Kreme BUT BETTER!! Bought half a dozen which included: ube, matcha, strawberry, dragon fruit, chocolate and lilikoi. The owner (Daniel?) was so kind and gave a mango one for free since I couldn't decide between two of the flavors. They are also running a special opening promo and giving out a free coffee with any purchase. The coffee was also amazing and the inside was clean and aesthetic. I'm excited that we finally have a donut place in this area & I'll definitely be back. Best of luck to the owners! read more

I went here with my family, and got a dozen assorted donuts along with some donut holes. We had slept in on a Sunday so we got there at 12:30. When we got there we were greeted with enthusiasm by the owner. Since we had gotten there late most of the donuts were gone, but we were still able to enjoy whatever was left. When we tried the donuts the flavor is nothing short of phenomenal. The donut was soft, but I can only imagine what it would taste like in the morning freshly made. I would recommend the passion fruit because that was my favorite one I tried. The atmosphere was cozy and very welcoming, and I highly recommend getting a taste of this delectable donut. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to stop by on our way out of the shopping center since I've been wanting to try their donuts after seeing posts on Instagram. We were greeted with bright and warm welcomes from the staff. The store felt very simplistic, clean, and fun with the posters of donut puns decorating the walls. We thought we wouldn't be able to try some flavors since it looked like most were sold out, but were told that more was being made and to let them know if there was one we wanted to get that wasn't currently out front. We decided on chocolate, strawberry, matcha, and coffee. The intention was to buy some to try, and maybe come back another day if we had the time... to just eat one in the car as a snack, sip on the coffee we got from them as well (which was also really great), and continue on with what we had planned for the day. With just one bite, we were amazed with how soft and fluffy the donuts were and how the flavors complimented the donuts so well. After one bite... I'm also not sure where the donut went. I don't think I have ever said "We need to go back in and buy more to take home" and "I don't think these will even make it home" so fast before. I'm glad to say the donuts did make it home to be shared and are still soft hours later! read more

Finally, we have a donut and coffee shop in Aiea! Prices are fair, service is great & the donuts are to die for. We tried some of the classics (donut holes, chocolate sprinkle, long john, maple) and an "island" flavor, passion fruit. All of them were incredible. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the passion fruit flavor was. The coffee selection is simple (espresso, cold brew, drip, lattes, various milk options), but that's how it should be - the sweetness comes from the donuts :) Excited to have these folks in our town & will be back! read more

We had gone to another place last night and saw this new donut shop but it was closed for the day. It's in Pearl Kai by T-Mobile. Came this morning to try it out, the donuts are OMGAGHH they're delicious. There wasn't very much choices left at 8am and they had opened at 6. It's pricey for a dozen but it's worth it, we had ube, Oreo, chocolate, sprinkles, and couple others I forgot. My kids loved them all. Took off 1 star because I do have a special needs child who was telling the worker which one he wanted and she seemed to have a attitude so I had to let her know which he wanted when he saw she had put his choice into the box he said thank you and she rolled her eyes. We'll be back again soon just hope next time the worker we get is more friendly. read more

The hot single is a classic and still my favorite. It's simple but so good, especially when it's fresh and warm. The strawberry fields and lilikoi were both really flavorful, and the chocolate crunch had the perfect texture. They still taste great even after cooling down at home, but they're definitely on another level when you eat them fresh. The service is always really good, and there's plenty of seating, which makes it easy to hang out and enjoy your donuts. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to when I'm in the area!

I was down on that side of town and had a hankering for Holy Grail Donuts. If you've never been,…read moreyou're missing out. I don't really have a sweet tooth-I'm a no icing, no frosting kind of girl. I wouldn't dream of eating a cinnamon roll with icing, that's a no for me. But their donuts are delicious all the same and can definitely scratch the itch if you do have a sweet tooth. As someone who's vegan, it can be hard to find a dessert I actually feel good about, and this is one of those places. Everything is taro-based and cooked in coconut oil, which I really appreciate. Just a heads up-all of their donuts are taro donuts. The flavors come from the toppings, so if you see something like a strawberry one, the donut itself isn't strawberry--it's the topping. Their offerings change, ( they do have their core donuts that don't change-and I usually go for one "naked"--no glaze. Sometimes I'll get the honey and sea salt one. Right now they have a seasonal donut called Black Sabbath that's black sesame, brûléed banana. Every time I've been in, I'm greeted right away, and there's plenty of free parking. They get your order out super quick. If you don't want a whole donut--or you're eating in your car and don't want to make a mess--their little donuts called Holeys are the perfect pop-in-your-mouth option. The place has always be well kept and clean - and they have a very spacious, and equally as clean, bathroom. They also have an app where you can check the menu, keep track of your rewards, and manage gift cards, which makes it really convenient. Also, if you're not signed up for their rewards program, do it. You're basically passing up free donuts if you don't. Give them a go, share your experience and if your taste buds celebrated. SYOY!

We had the loco moco with fried rice and hamburger steak with multi-grain rice and toss salad; they didn't offer a choice of dressing, but the default asian dressing was delicious. The food was good with very big portions; I had a hard time finishing my loco moco. They served it with lots of yummy brown gravy, the way it should be. My wife enjoyed her hamburger steak as well.

I and my fellow colleagues frequent this perfectly hidden Gem buying dozens of Donuts for the team these past 6 years. Prior to that I would visit this shop on my own going to and returning from work as a daily regime. This place was very much loved by everyone you passed by in and out of this business.

We actually didn't plan to do dinner. I was told by many that the baked goods here were something…read morespecial and worth trying. Knowing me, I was most interested in the dessert, but we ended up dining here on a whim. We had really great service when we dined in. I ordered the oxtail soup because I hadn't had it before, which fulfills my rule of trying new foods when I can. It was tasty, with a unique spice blend reminiscent of other beef soups I've had in the past. However, I was particularly wowed however by the complementary bread and raspberry jam. Call me simple, but the bread was actually the star of the show for me, perfectly soft and buttery. The location in Waikiki is perhaps a clear reminder that it is a tourism city. The atmosphere is that of fine dining. Not a bad place to grab a meal when on vacation in Honolulu.

We visited Liliha Bakery at the International Market Place in Waikīkī yesterday. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious and definitely lived up to the hype! Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Our waitress seemed to be having a rough day. The table behind us had to send food back three different times because they kept receiving the wrong orders, and there was about a 30-minute period where our server completely disappeared. We had to ask another staff member for our check and to-go boxes. She also never came back to check on our table or refill our water. Everyone has off days, so we're hoping that's all it was. We'd definitely come back because the food was so good--we just hope to have a different server next time.

Whenever I pass by, there seems to be people waiting in the front, especially during dinner time. Who knew this place would be the spot to go to for dinner? From the outside, it reminds me of the restaurant Tiana from The Princess and the Frog built -which make total sense! It's the high, lofty ceilings, big, open, bright lights - they really got the plantation building vibe well. The servers have been great whether they're the quick-service bakery or the servers for our dinner. I remember one dinner, my meal took longer than everyone else at the table and they were apologetic in that and kept checking in and made sure I felt seen. As far as the food, I've tried their cutlet, breakfast pancakes/waffle, fried chicken, and a couple other dishes. Some I ordered myself and some my husband ordered, therefore they are my dishes as well. All of them tasted great and I do have to say, considering how long they've been open, you would think the standards go down at some point, but I have not experienced that at all. The breads, butters, and jellies still slap. And most of all, my husband and other family members I've come here with LOOOVE the kimchi fried rice and/or the pork loco moco. Personally, I used to only think about Liliha Bakery whenever friends from the mainland come to visit. But now, it just may be a nice spot for dinner if we want something a little more than Zippy's.

After finishing off the bowl at least to me, mint doesn't cut it like the chocolate flavor. Next time if I happen to return I'd probably select just a single flavor instead of a combo. They also have smoothies and soups too. The mud pie sounds pretty tempting too. Not creamy like a rich ice cream but a novelty to your tastebuds. Service was quick. Many indoor tables and a game near the front.

Located in the heart of Aiea, the newly opened mom and pop donut shop is a delightful addition to the neighborhood. Stepping inside, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality from the friendly staff, instantly making you feel at home. The aroma of freshly made donuts fills the air, a promise of the treats awaiting you. Each morning, they craft their delectable donuts from scratch, ensuring unparalleled freshness with every bite. On my visit, I indulged in their apple fritter, and it was a heavenly experience. The exterior boasted a satisfying crunch, while the interior was soft and pillowy, perfectly complemented by the homemade apple filling. The apples were cooked to al dente perfection, retaining a slight crunch and infused with delightful cinnamon notes. The glaze, sweet yet balanced, added the finishing touch without overwhelming the palate. In summary, this charming donut shop earns a perfect score of 10/10 from me. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly exceptional donut experience. read more

I recently visited Island Glazed, a unique donut shop in the Pearl City area known for its eclectic array of flavors that go well beyond the standard chocolate, vanilla, and glazed varieties. The shop's commitment to offering a diverse selection is a breath of fresh air for anyone looking to try something different in the world of donuts. On my first attempt to visit Island Glazed, I arrived around 1:30 PM only to find that they had already sold out for the day, which speaks to their popularity. Undeterred, I returned on another day and was successful in purchasing a variety of donuts. I must say, the donuts here are solid. Each one was a delightful surprise, showcasing flavors and textures that set them apart from typical donut shop offerings. If you're in the Pearl City area and looking for a donut experience that steps outside the ordinary, Island Glazed is definitely worth a visit. Just be sure to get there early to enjoy the full range of their creative concoctions before they sell out! read more

Island Glazed Doughnuts at the Pearl Kai Shopping Center is an absolute gem! We ordered a variety of flavors: chocolate macadamia, banana-filled, matcha, lilikoi, and coffee glazed. The hardest part was deciding what to choose because everything looked so delicious! Every doughnut was heavenly soft, with flavors that were spot-on and true to their labels. I honestly can't decide which flavor is my favorite--they were all incredible! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Daniel, who is incredibly genuine and clearly passionate about delivering top-quality products--a rarity these days.
