I live in Aiea, for years we've been without a doughnut shop!!…read more Island Glaze showed up a couple of years ago and I am thrilled! I really enjoy their glazed doughnuts, they taste like Krispy Kreme to me! I have cruised through the other choices and liked several of them! They do a good job with their fruit flavors. Strawberry, guava, and passion fruit were yummy! Peanut butter and jelly was good too! The people there are always eager to please and very friendly, even when I can't decide what I want to try! The shop itself is bright, there are places to sit and areas for kids to play! More importantly the shop smells heavenly and the doughnuts are fresh!!

Stumbled on this bakeshop after dining at a different restaurant. We were there at 12pm and they…read moredidn't have much. The pastries were good though. We got onion hopia, guava manju, loaf of bread and hot dog. I really liked the hopia. It was a thin layer of bread and the hopia filling was stuffed. I liked that it was bite-sized. The guava manju was good too. It was moist and the breading was thin which is nice. Service was good. Prices were ok. Very, small bakeshop.

Should have been a red flag when the lady said there were ants in the char siu manapua so she didn't sell it to us. First time going to this location and will be the last. Beware when purchasing from them.

Brought the kids to experience Spanish bread for the first time, and they killed the dozen box…read morebefore we even got home. The Spanish bread is always fresh and hot, the rolls are always made day of, and there is always a large selection to choose from. The aunties at the front are always kind and have patience even when there is a line. Again, the location is small so be mindful of the space if there is a line.

I'm only here for the Spanish rolls…read more Sure they have other baked items but something about buttery sticks of dough, lightly sugary is very appealing when warm. Just don't look at the bottom of the box after a couple of mins :0 The hours of operation works for me. There's always a line formed right outside before they open at 4:30 on the weekdays. Like I mentioned, they have other baked goods and they all look good. I'm sure they taste just as good as they look, I just can't verify. Overall five stars. Plenty of parking when I'm there at 4:20 am ;p M

Really yummy, fluffy treat!…read more Service was friendly and welcoming. Mav's is a one-trick pony, so no need for overthinking here. 1) Choose your quantity 2) Choose your flavor Cash and cards accepted. The cinnamon sugar flavor was delish! There were other flavors like some kinda special coconut/haupia blend (?) and Fruity Pebbles, but you can't go wrong with the classic. I had expectations about the donut texture, but boy, was I wrong. It wasn't like any cake or yeast donut... it was light, airy, and fluffy like a pillow! They were also a one-biter, so my dozen went bye-bye fairly quickly... haha! At first, I thought this would be one of those "try it once and move on" kind of spots, but I actually really enjoyed it and can totally see myself going back. The price could be a bit lower tho (they're tiny!), but I get it - mall rent, even for a kiosk, isn't cheap. Hope you love it! :)

Shoutout to Mav and their delicious mini-donuts!…read more This is one of the best donuts I've tried in a long while. The dough, friedness, and unique flavor coating is extremely delicious. I really liked their fruity pebbles flavoring. I appreciate how delicious they are and would definitely try again. They are almost cooked to order and are excellent. Their staff is kind and extremely friendly. Satisfy your sweet tooth and continue shopping.

I didn't know they make specialty tres leches cakes here! My brother brought this to a party and it…read morewas a hit. We tried the mango and ube Oreo tres leches and they're are both fiiiiiire. I do kind of wish they just made a normal original tres leches cake because I know that's be gasssss too. It's in the fridge right by the cashier. I would always walk past it so I never thought to look. It's a super small bakery so you can't miss it. I feel like everything--the pastries and bread here are so top tier, it's hard to go wrong here. Treat yo'self and try something at Valerio's!

Baked goods in Waipahu, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Located inside of Seafood City (at Waipahu Town Center), there are several vendors - including Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop. If you're looking for Filipino desserts and breads, this is the place to go! Take a number, grab your items, and pay when your number is called. Let the efficient workers know if you want something from the display case when it's your turn. It was crowded when I was there, but the line disappeared quickly! This is a popular place because it's neat, clean, and well-stocked with such a variety of choices! I narrowed down my selection to original and ube flavored pianono rolls. Finally, I chose original... it was so buttery, soft, and decadent! I liked the granulated sugar on the outside... it stayed crunchy! Next time, I'll get the ube flavor for comparison... LOL!

I just recently discovered the bagel bites, and I am in LOVE! The strawberry cold foam is also…read moreabsolutely delicious. Take a look at my order and try to copy it because it is SO GOOD: strawberry cold foam with Splenda, vanilla syrup, and tiramisu. WOW! I truly cannot rave about it enough. My first drink was blueberry with coconut, and that one was really good too. I ordered everything through the app, earned 12 points for every dollar I spent, and even got two bagel bites! I love when something tastes amazing and earns me rewards at the same time. I highly recommend ordering through the app and being a Rewards member. It is worth it.

Needs better management oversight I placed a mobile order…read morebecause the drive-thru line was about 15 cars deep. While waiting inside for my order, I noticed four young employees who appeared far more focused on socializing than on serving customers. One employee was recounting details of his previous night, which clearly distracted the other three -- they were laughing and joking around instead of attending to the long drive-thru line and the customer waiting at the counter. This kind of behavior shouldn't be happening during a rush, and it points to a lack of active management on the floor. Staff need to understand they're there to work, not to socialize on the clock, especially when customers are visibly waiting. I'll be following up with the regional manager directly, because a location this busy needs a manager who is actually managing -- keeping the team focused and the lines moving. A couple thoughts before you post: I left out the physical description (curly hair) since Yelp/Google reviews are public and permanent -- best to avoid identifying details about specific employees. Want me to also draft a separate, more detailed message for when you call the regional manager? That one could include more specifics since it's a direct, private conversation.

Mahalo, Valerie and Frank for being so kind and taking care of us this morning. The drive-through…read morewas closed so I did have to step inside today which wasn't a bad thing because I got to meet new people in the community. I was able to try a little bit of everything. I'm serious. I took a bite of every doughnut and I'm not sorry about it. The fruit punch doughnut was very interesting. Not sure if I would order it again. My favorites will always be chocolate anything! Thank you again for the great service and for the hospitality. I will be back. Oh, and the coconut limeade was DELICIOUS! They also have amazing tumbler merch that is very substantial for only $16.99!!!

As a Massachusetts girl and proud Milspo, Dunkin' has always been a little piece of home for me --…read moreand this location has truly made Hawaii feel a little less far away. My kids and I look forward to our morning coffee and donuts, and the staff here are some of the kindest people I have ever met. They always go above and beyond with their customer service, not just for me, but for my kids too. They even know my kids by name, which means so much to us and makes every visit feel personal and welcoming. People need to remember they are on an island and shipments come by boat. Yes, sometimes things run out or there's a wait because they are busy -- but I would gladly wait an extra 5 minutes for the correct order and genuine kindness. The team here works hard and it shows. I've worked in the restaurant industry before, and I think before leaving negative comments people should try putting themselves in the employees' shoes for a moment. These workers deal with long lines, busy mornings, shortages, and still continue showing kindness and patience every day. A little understanding and grace can go a long way. Thank you for making our mornings brighter and for making our time here feel a little more like home. We appreciate you all so much!

They're not kidding…read more.. First thing you walk in is a wall of cupcakes of all kinds and let me tell you each and every one of them are just a work of art. I decided to swing by since I was in the area and looking for some cake...no they don't have cake here but they do have cupcake lol and it was for a event that Fishcake in Kaka'ako had was "Take one leave one...but make it cake". Where we trade trinkets and bring cake where they provided plates and utensils but we had to cut the cake so instead I thought of bringing something already cut for convenience Banana Bread :) oh yes and with chocolate chips it was either that or cupcakes, brownies or cookies lol why bother stray from the usual and bring a yummy treat. Well that have that and so much more than I realize if it was cupcakes it would probably be green tea, lilikoi, pistachio...maybe strawberry lemonade or German chocolate omg the selection is quite incredible and I wasn't prepared for it. The staff is very helpful and friendly with all our questions and I love that everything is at your convenience to see without asking and with lots of free parking getting here is easy and yes a piece of cake. Thank you!

This place has so many treats and options it's amazing! Service was quick and efficient and there's…read morelots of parking available. I got to try a bunch of different items and my ranking is below 1. Banana Chantilly Cupcake 5/5 2. Pistachio cupcake 2/5 3. Red velvet cupcake 2/5 4. German chocolate cupcake 5/5 5. Chocolate covered chocolate chip cookie 3/5 6. Lilikoi bar 10/5 My cupcake 4 pack was kinda a mixed bag. I'm wondering if that comes down to personal preferences more than anything else. About $17 for the 4 pack though so I can honestly only recommend banana chantilly and German chocolate so far. I would skip the cookie because they have so many other options but I'm relieved I only bought one and not the whole bag. Finally I have to say the Lilikoi bar was delicious. One of the best I've ever had. Totally worth the price and would absolutely purchase again. Shop is cute and clean. Next on my list Mac nut brownies!!

I miss it when they used to be bigger pieces on a stick, but this is a fun alternative where more people can take bites and share!

I have never been so disappointed with a local business, especially being born and raised here…read more I've been trying all week to buy poi balls. Before today, I had already stopped by 2-3 different times, but each time I left empty handed. Today, I finally made it there again, waited in line, and there was only one customer ahead of me. The employee, an older woman, didn't acknowledge me while helping the other customer, which I understood, so I waited patiently for about 5-8 minutes. What was especially frustrating is that while I was standing there waiting, it would have been nice if she had simply let me know they were only accepting cash that day. That would have saved me from waiting in line only to find out when it was finally my turn. Even a simple sign posted at the counter would have made a huge difference. It just felt like there was a lack of basic customer courtesy and communication. When it was finally my turn to order, I was told their system was down and they were only accepting cash. At that point I was already frustrated because I had parked far away. I asked where the nearest ATM was, and she vaguely said it was "somewhere in the food court" without giving clear directions. I ended up wandering around looking for an ATM, and by then I was so overwhelmed and frustrated that I just left. I tried calling several times throughout the day, but no one ever answered the phone. After a few hours, I decided to give them one more chance, even though it's out of the way for me. I called again with no answer, but I figured she might have been the only employee working and too busy to answer. When I arrived, they were sold out. After spending an entire week trying to purchase something as simple as poi balls, making multiple trips, waiting in line, searching for an ATM, and never being able to reach anyone by phone, I'm extremely disappointed. Better communication, answering the phone, posting when you're cash only, or updating customers when items are sold out would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. Unfortunately, this experience has convinced me not to return, and I can't recommend this business based on the service I received.

I decided to pick up a box of Mochizadas after ordering food at Zippy's last night since I've been…read morewondering how exactly a mochi and malasada combination would taste like. The chocolate covered mochizadas were pretty thick and had a nice chewiness to it. The taste and feel of it is very similar to mochi donuts except a bit bulkier. I really love sweets so it was perfect for me however both my parents have said that it's a bit too sweet for them and that they'd enjoy it more without the chocolate covering. Also heads up, if you're thinking about getting some pastries from Napoleon's Bakery at night time like I did, please be aware that they will have less pastries to choose from but that there are still a few good options available on display.
