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!!

Walked in telling myself "just one donut"... yeah okay Next…read morething I know I'm holding a box of 6 like I showed real restraint. My inner fat kid was already side-eyeing me like "we both know that's not enough." That glazed donut though? Unreal. Soft, moist, and that glaze is straight disrespectful. Like melt-in-your-mouth, why-am-I-eating-this-so-fast kinda good. I took one bite and immediately started doing the math on how fast I could turn around and grab more without looking crazy. Halfway through the box I was already mad at myself. Who buys 6?? That's not a quantity, that's a warm-up. Should've got 12 and saved myself the emotional damage. Only reason it's not a 5/5 is because now I'm sitting here donutless, thinking about going back like a man with unfinished business. Next time I'm letting the fat kid make all the decisions

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.

What a surprise and absolute treat to have lunch at Mahi Ai Table inside Foodland Farms. I wasn't…read moreexpecting much when I walked in, but wow--this place delivered. I started with the Beef Luau, and omg. A steaming bowl of tender luau leaves with little "trinket-sized" bites of beef, rich and flavorful. And yes, I had to order a side of rice--because you just gotta have rice with this kind of dish. Then came the real dilemma: Fish & Chips or the Wagyu Short Rib Loco Moco. The only logical solution? ORDER BOTH. No regrets. Every bite was worth it. A huge shoutout to Chuck--one of the most knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely kind people I've met in this business. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the service and the vibe he creates. And Al, who I believe is the manager--what a fun guy. For someone who hasn't been here long, he runs a tight ship. The staff is happy, helpful, and works together like a well-oiled machine. The energy in this place is just good. They've even got live music at 5pm and a solid pupu menu. This is way more than a one‑stop shop. I'll definitely be back to try more--especially the dessert menu. Ooh man. Thank you, Chuck, for an awesome lunch experience. And Al--keep up the great work. Marie

When you see that Red & White striped food truck, you know you've found Leonard's Malasada Mobile…read morewagon. Parked in the parking lot of the Waikele shopping center. You can literally see it on either side of the H-1 freeway going West Or East. These freshly made, warm, fluffy & crisp delicious Malasadas are perfect for any time of the day. Recommended to be eaten right away for best tasting deliciousness of these Malasadas. Service: Stopped by on a Saturday morning, there was no line, just one other customer ahead of me. The ladies working were pleasant, quick and efficient with my order. I ordered 2 with sugar and 2 without sugar. Tips; - Cashless so be sure to have a debit card or credit card on hand. -When visiting Oahu definitely a must stop. Ambience: - No outdoor seating area, order & go. - Outdoor & ample parking. - Enjoy your Malasadas at your car.

It was a Thursday afternoon, and we mingled with the intrepid tourists who drove to Central O'ahu. This malasadamobile is permanently parked in food truck row. You can see it from the freeway. You can see Laverne's, the malasasamobile, Mountain Shave Ice, Thong's Thai, Taste Tea, Dick's Lechon, and ... the blood bank mobile. The truck ladies had to be sweltering but they were still nice. And it's always a happy atmosphere when you're about to get a box full of deep-fried, sugar rolled doughnuts. I stuck with the classic sugar but we also got some cinnamon sugar and stuffed (dobash and haupia) to share.

Love this place, love their Spanish bread…read more They have so many good bread and pastries to choose from and when you walk in you're hit with the pleasant smell of fresh goodness. The store front is a small area with limited standing struck toy for the line. The workers are very efficient in keeping the line moving and being helpful to those who not quite confident in their decisions. 10/10 would recommend

I keep hearing about this Spanish Bread that is the talk of the island which is what took me to…read moreNanding's Bakery in Waipahu. Located in a shopping center with many other businesses so parking can be very challenging! Nanding's Bakery opens super early at 4:30am, and I'm being told this Spanish Bread is brought to every function here on island! Very small venue and customer service was amazing. We ordered; 2 dozen Spanish Bread - AMAZING, soft buttery sticks of bread with just the right sweetness and love the fine crumb texture on the outside! Adobo pork roll - I wasn't a fan of the flavor. It was totally different flavor profile than any pork adobo I've tasted. Definitely stop by Nanding's Bakery for the Spanish Bread if you happen to drive by one of their locations as I believe they have 3 different locations on island. We have something similar in California but I have to admit...Nanding's Bakery supersedes the California version.

Oh my goodness this was my first time trying fried mochi and I'm lowkey mad at myself for not…read moregetting two boxes because it was SO good. I tried the poi flavor and when I tell you I ate it way too fast... It was gone too quickly and into my tummy. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. Such a perfect little treat. They were set up outside Walmart with a tent when I stopped by, which made it such a random but fun find during my errand run. And they take card payments too! It was $2 extra to add the icing, but 100% worth it. No regrets. Honestly, the best $13 I've spent on food in a while. If you ever see a fried mochi stand pop up... don't think twice. Just get it. Maybe two boxes

I have been obsessed with Poi Mochi from this place for over 2 decades. Whenever I come back home…read moreI'm all over this place. I get a whole box for myself and get a box to share. A bit of a background story: 15 year old self: "Dad, we need cleaning stuff so we can do our chores." Dad: "Okay, why didn't you say anything when we were at Longs." 15 year old self: "slipped my mind" Heading out of Walmart. 15 year old self: "Dad, can we please get some poi mochi? Please....Please....Please.... Plleeeaasssseee!!!" My dad looks at me and I could see it. The wheels turning and it clicked that I have been planning my all of sudden must need now to align when Uncle Lani mochi would be there. What should I do to not hear a mouthful? 1. Should I run? 2. Should I say, "no, worries I'll pay." 3. Should I apologize? Somehow I managed to do all three and I still got a mouthful outside of Walmart. I got lectured all the way home. I didn't hear the end of it and had to do my siblings chores. Was it worth it? Yes, I got away with it 3 times...lol. Back when I was a teenager they had a pop up spot in Waipio Walmart. Kamakana Location: Awesome Sauce! - free parking - area to sit - they offer different toppings - workers in the store show the love * usually a winner to bring to a potluck The saddest thing is flying from the mainland going straight to Uncle Lani and your met with the sign "sold out." You know what's even sadder? You try again and boom "sold out!!!!!!" 3rd try I checked their Instagram page and went during opening hour and got my sweet tooth satisfied. I can't get enough of this place!

Long-established bakery in town that's been well-known for its reputation. Totally reminded me of…read moreLA's Porto Bakery with the concept, vibe, and affordable prices. A mix of resto and bakery with huge dining space that could accommodate big group and big selections within the bakery cases. Also multiple outlets in town! The one in Pearl City had particularly speedy service and super responsive servers. Yep you could tell hard to find stuffs and make choices given those huge options. We got their iconic Poi Mochi Doughnut, Coco Puff, and Hawaiian Butter Mochi. We were impressed by all particularly the last one with the huge portion that we could even bring home and still so so good. Perfectly chewy with slight crunch on top from the sugar and cinnamon. The Coco Puff was another pleasantful one, with chocolate custard inside and chantily (salted caramel alike) crunch layer on top that I was really fond of. Poi doughnut was similar to any other mochi doughnut, just featuring their iconic taro-alike local gem. If you wanna try multiple local signature sweets all at once certainly go here.

Thank goodness Dunkin' had AC, available seats to rest my feet, and a nice $6 meal deal to sweeten the experience even more. They have the cutest donut hearts right now. Water is $0.79 but worth it for the large cup they give out. I am grateful for Dunkin' more today than other days. I was sleep walking outside. I now have the energy to wait another hour. Let's go! This was actually my first time dining in. I usually go through the drive thru. I am pleased to share that there is a public restroom available for customers.

Walking in it's nice to see it all clean and organized with just a person taking full advantage of the work area where there's a designated USB and outlet for you to plug in your electronics is very nice and appreciated. A sip and bite in a nice and air conditioned store is not the easiest to find and thought why not to a little treat though after viewing their menu and seeing the flies buzzzing around the donuts it kinda ruined the vibe though not to deter my situation decided to order their Strawberry Refresher and hash browns. The refresher was a bit too sweet for me though it did have a nice mix between oatmilk and strawberry but didn't really do it for me but the hash browns I did love and it actually had some herb/thanksgiving flavor that did surprised me quite a bit lol. The staff polite though not friendly as I didn't get the thank you or a proper greet...very basic and still not sure if I'll ever get a donut from here though is a nice rest stop in the area. Thank you!
