    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!

    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

    Just a sample 1 of 2 boxes of this goodness here at island glazed in pearl Kai shopping center !

    A warm welcome to the place and it was so clean and spacy! We got 2 boxes of this goodness here a ISLAND GLAZED in pearl Kai shopping center ! The flavors ste amazing! DONUT sleep on this place !! Yummmyyyy We bought: UBE OREO 3 OREO BLUEBERRY KOREAN WHIPPED CREAM FILLED 2 PB & J 2 Chocolate nut Mac Choc sprinkle Maple Let's goooooo

    Apple fritters, there's four in the box
    Kathy A.

    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!

    My haul today (missing some)

    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

    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.

    The best donuts on the island. I have no problem eating them the next day! My favs are the strawberry & coffee donuts. The service is great & the inside is clean!

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

    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 :)

    I had Island Glazed bookmarked after seeing all the reviews and social media post, since I LOVE donuts and they are my weakness! I had to save it for a splurge day to finally make it. I am glad they are open on Sundays, which is Sunday Funday for me! We didn't get up bright and early for donuts but we arrived a little past 10 am, luckily the donuts were plentiful. I am loving this business already, love the spacious shop with comfy seats for us to enjoy the goods! Loved the colorful donuts in the display and they also have Kolache ( reminds me of Texas) I miss eating that, but I had my mind set on donuts! We got a half dozen mixed assortment ( $16.99) for my son, his gf & my hubby. One each for me & other half and 2 each for the son and his gf. I also munched on some glazed donut holes. The assortments were pineapple, maple, chocolate mac. nut, & strawberry. I loved that they have a great assortment of flavors. Ok family, "Donut bother me, while I am enjoying my donut!" Although my favorite donut will always be glazed or maple, I will have to come back to try other flavors. The verdict of these donuts, YUMS! From one donut lover to another-approved! I loved how it is glazed, chewy, and with a lite crisp. The rest of the donuts was enjoyed by all. I wish I can eat more than just one donut but I can't go crazy with my splurging, I will save Island Glazed for the next splurge! Overall, great new business to the Pearl Kai Shopping Center. They open daily Mon-Friday 8-2 and Sat.- Sunday 8-5, ask for the monthly special donut. Island Glazed, taste the island in every bite, reading this on the box, love it, love it!

    Some co-workers and I had lunch at the Taiwanese place in Pearl Kai and one of us needed something extra so we stopped in at Island Glazed, mauka of B-R ice cream. I didn't want anything but they had maple bacon doughnuts! I cannot turn down one of these gems, especially since my co-worker bought it for me. It was so light and fluffy and bacon-y. Thanks, Dan!

    Tasty variety of flavors

The drive-thru is very convenient when I'm getting coffee on my way to work. However, it does tend to get really busy and sometimes when I see how backed up it is, I just leave. I do feel that they prioritize the drive-thru over walking in because a few times I would just go in to order if the drive-thru is busy and the barista taking my order appears to be taking and making orders for the drive-thru. There were also a few instances I saw where you can't even go in to order and could only go to the drive-thru. I do understand when they say they're short-staffed and I see how it can get pretty busy. I'm just sharing my past experience but I do continue to come here because my drinks are always made to how I like it and I love that they're open a little later than other coffee shops!

Its location was a mystery and the way the food disappeared off our plates was the magic. We were met with love and we were served love in our to go containers. We ordered house fried noodles, orange chicken, house fried gyoza, vegetarian spring rolls with sides of white rice and various, delicious tea drinks. I have never had bacon in my fried noodles before and I know bacon makes most things taste better but this was truly the cherry on top. I loved the noodles. I love thin noodles like angel hair pasta and finally I've found a place that serves a thin fried noodle. It was delicious. The orange chicken was hot and tasty and we didn't get any fatty pieces which made it perfect!! That's huge to my family. Speaking of which, I have a big family we're talking 8 people and the portions at this place were delightfully generous. You might be buying dinner today but you'll likely have lunch for tomorrow too! I don't know what they put in the drinks but I am hooked. My goodness! Iced-Cool Liquid happiness for my tongue, throat, stomach and soul. I was upset when it was gone. I'm still upset. This place is truly off the beaten path but worth the effort to find and dine. Drive directly down the alley when you see the Sweet Corner Cafe sign on the corner(keep your eyes peeled). Go all the way down, you'll be able to turn around and there's parking along a building.
