“ Showed up 30 mins before they closed and they only had like 4 options left but surprisingly, the flavors were still very delicious, high quality, light and airy. I'm excited to come when they have a fully stocked cabinet. Just saying that even the remaining ones are REALLY good! Excited to try other flavors. Pictured: coffee and li hing mui pineapple ”
“ Donuts are soft and delicious, we got about 4 different ones to try and each one was great! Super fast and friendly service, lots of indoor space and clean! Definitely be back! ”
“ Unholey! SUPERB Donuts. Parking - right in front of the establishment. Prices - Well worth for the quality. Food - Donuts reminded me of Krispy Kreme! Glazes on the donut were hands down the best I've had yet. I'm not a donut gal but this one I would eat again and again. Their coffee is great too, we had lavender lattes. Service - Fast. I appreciate how attentive and efficient they are with managing orders. I really feel like this place is a hidden treasure. Check it out :) ”

“ Visited Island Glazed Donuts in Aiea as part of Yeep Ric C's New Year's Dash for da Donuts UYE. As it was early (and still dark) in the morning, the Pearl Kai shopping center was pretty empty. IGD was one of the few establishments open on New Year's Day and that early. IGD's layout is pretty standard, open and clean. There is a sofa on one side and several tables on the other to enjoy your eats and drinks on premises. There is also a Instagram wall to take pictures with. Owner Daniel Lee treated us to a complimentary fresh glazed yeast donut, piping hot! A fresh hot doughnut can't be beat! IGD specializes in local flavors like guava, lychee, pineapple, and ube, they were on a 2024 Yelp list for donut shops to check out. Another specialty is a cheese kolach, a Czech pastry that I was introduced to in Texas. Kolaches can be sweet or savory, definitely would be interested in more savory versions like a sausage kolach. Ended getting a couple of other donuts to enjoy at home. As good as they were, they didn't compare to the fresh hot glazed donut at IGD! Repeat and recommend! ”
“ I love coming here for their donuts and cold brew coffee. They offer a huge variety of donut flavors. The best part is that they're flavorful without being overly too sweet - meaning I can eat so much of these donuts haha. They make great office treats too! I brought some to my office and everyone was impressed with how light and fluffy they were. We had a lot of donuts that we ended up putting some in the fridge and the donuts were still pretty soft and fluffy the next day. If you're craving some donuts in the area, this is the place to go! ”
“ Donuts were great and so fresh! So soft! The employee was very friendly and engaging! ”
“ We always frequent the two restaurants on each side of this donut shop but why didn't we know a gem of a place like this was right next door? There was a young man with a platter with a bright happy smile offering samples right where we parked. It wouldn't be polite to just walk past him and SO glad we tried the original glazed piece. YUM at first bite. Sweet in a good way and so light. After lunch I had to step inside this shop. White walls with a colorful mural, a couch and toys for little ones to occupy themselves. I chose two glazed, an Oreo and a chocolate donut. The man who helped me said, if you buy two more... I didn't quite get the rest of his sentence but the pretty box fits 6, so absolutely I should. I added a matcha and a lychee glazed. I tried the chocolate one after a little siesta. Best taste ever, so good and light. Perfect taste. I think it would make a good addition to a potluck or a visit to someone special over the holidays. Have never been inside like me? Treat yourself, you deserve it and it tastes wonderful. ”
“ Doughnuts are very soft and pillowy. I would prefer less coating on the top and if they were less sweet. Still one of the better doughnuts ive had and would recommend, especially if you value tropical flavors; they dont have that artificial flavor that is common. Ube coconut filled: ube was not very sweet which makes the ube flavor shine. Coconut flavor was not too prominent but had a good texture. Banana filled: tasted like a banana pudding in a soft doughnut pillow. Very good The matcha and ube toppings were not too sweet (for american standards) which i loved, i appreciate the matcha when its more bitter; they were probably my favorites personally. The lilikoi flavor was also quite good. I would avoid the coffee topped one, it has a burnt flavor to it. Strawberry was quite good. ”
