Ah, the donut – one of America’s favorite treats. Joyous were the days our parents used to bring home donuts on a Saturday morning, accompanied by cartoons, of course. And even more magnificent are the days where office meetings are made more bearable due to that one co-worker who always brings donuts in. In honor of the donut, here are some of our top must-visit donut shops in Hawaii serving everything from malasadas to green tea donuts.

  1. Kamehameha Bakery

There’s nothing like the smell of warm donuts and sugar to start your morning off right! Known for their magnificent glazed poi donuts, Kamehameha Bakery is a true Hawaiian treasure. Kamehameha Bakery Inc, 1284 Kalani St Unit D106, Honolulu, HI 96817, USA

  1. Mr. Donut’s & Bakery

Best donuts in Hawaii? You be the judge! Mr. Donut’s & Bakery, 134 S Hotel St, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA

  1. Napoleon’s Bakery

My husband has an unnatural love for their mochi rice cake with sweet red bean paste… Not my thing, but he loves it. Napoleon’s Bakery, 94-1068 Ka Uka Blvd, Waipahu, HI 96797, USA

  1. Komoda Store and Bakery

Mark Faviell/Flickr First opened as a general store in 1916, this Maui shop began to sell baked goods in the ‘40s, and are now famous for their cream puffs, long johns and glazed donut sticks. Today, Komoda Store and Bakery is a beloved town institution! Komoda Store and Bakery, 3674 Baldwin Ave, Makawao, HI 96768, USA
