Mr. Donut’s & Bakery

The best donuts by far. The pastry is so soft and fresh. Blueberry and strawberry are amazing. Bad thing about working so close… is working so close. Lol

Awesome workers. Family owned. Really friendly. Prices are great for good donuts or pastries. The location is perfect to just on a corner of the street in the center of downtown Honolulu. Close to the bus stop and other stores like Walgreens and longs drugs. They are very knowledgable with what type of donuts.

So while i’m sitting here writing this review, I just realized that I ate my donut before taking a picture of it. Darn!
Located on Hotel St., on the same side as Walgreen’s, and across from Long’s Drug store. It’s a small bakery with 2 showcases of assorted donuts. I tried their lemon filled donut and it was very good. Soft, fresh, and slightly sweet with just a touch of that lemony bitterness. Really good.
If not for the hassle of parking in town, I’d probably make more visits here.

If you’re on a diet or diabetic stay away from this place.
The allure of a fresh baked donut was to great for me to resist so I walked in to simply look at the donuts on display. I had no intention of buying or eating a donut but they just looked and smelled so good! Oh em gee! This is THE BEST donut that I’ve ever had! The man behind the counter suggested that I try their best seller and I’m glad that I took his advice.
They call this one «Mr Donut» That’s cheese in the middle and it’s delicious! It’s really sweet so I had half in the morning and I saved the other half for an afternoon snack. This donut is not very photogenic but it’s extremely edible!
Is it possible to fall in love with a donut? If it is, I fell in love today

Donuts are one of best stress relievers aside from the strictly chemical reactions that occur in the anatomical physics. I love this place also because they always have cutely decorated pink/​blue donuts with colorful confetti that are appealing to the eye and exclusively sensational, of course with a wide varieties of assortments you may be able to find a great flavor of your akin.
Some of my favorite were strawberry or blueberry with confetti and occasionally they have special flavors that you just may be of a great surprise and be left with some indelible impressions.
The location of this store is pretty close to several bus transit stops in downtown so it is a great place to swing by from time to time for a sweet treat or to relief some overwhelmingly indescribable stress certainly would be of an outlet ;)

This place has changed a lot since it first opened. It’s great to bring a box of these to the office to share (or not).
Likes: The flavored donuts are surprisingly good, such as their banana and strawberry flavors, which I’m not normally a fan of. It’s like creamy strawberry and the banana doesn’t taste too fake. They also accept credit card too, with a $ 3 minimum (as of now). Prices are reasonable, as they’re better than Safeway donuts, and not as expensive as coffee shop ones.
Dislikes: I guess I have to stretch here, but they do run out of flavors later in the day. Lines can get really long in the morning and you have to wait a little.
Favorites: The apple fritters are really good and are still massive. They also started glazing their cinnamon buns, and they’re good.
I really like this place. It’s not pretentious and they serve good donuts at a decent price.

A very small specialty bakery in the heart of downtown. The smell in the morning on the walk to work is wonderful– and too alluring not to stop by for just a pick me up — even if you have already eaten breakfast– and if you haven’t already eaten breakfast– forgetaboutit’ in Hawaiian Pidgin accent that you need to stop by and just at least get a sugar donut.
I like the selection and it is easy to get enough for the whole office without breaking the bank.
People there seem so nice– who wouldnt want to work around donuts all day long?
The building and that location has been weird almost ever since KFC left that location.- It is has been Thai food and local plate lunch food and bentos and not at least it seems to be doing well as a bakery. Hopefully it will stay as a corner store and continue to do well.

We walked in at 3:30 PM and all of the donuts were $ 1! Mr. Donut’s gave us half a dozen doughnuts for $ 5, you really can’t beat that. He was really friendly as soon as we walked through the door, taking out the trays to show us all of the different varieties of donuts he has. It may have been almost 4 in the afternoon but the donuts were still soft, fluffy and the glaze hadn’t dried up into hard chunks of sugar. even the chocolate on the chocolate donut was still creamy. He gave us a business card before leaving but unfortunately we live in Florida :(. Definitely recommend this place for donuts if you find yourself in the area, though!

A truly legit donut shop in the middle of downtown. Expect to pay $ 1 each for their regular donuts with a tad more for their specialty ones. Here are my favs:
Donut holes are only $ 2.50 for a dozen. Very substantive/​dense and quite big.
Classic glazed donuts $ 1 each.
Note: I agree with the many comments that the donuts are a tad sweet and would be perfect to wash it down with coffee.
The owner is very friendly and is very helpful in answering your questions.

Ahh mr. donut I have come back. The last time we met it was when I had your peanut butter filled concoction dressed with chocolate. It was soft, fresh, sweet, and addicting. Oh it was definitely a moment. If only you were calorie and carb free, that I could eat you every moment of the day.
Well I have to admit it’s definitely hard to make a choice on which donut to buy. I wanted to eat everything in moderation, but my eyes did not ;) There was an array of Boston creams and eclairs. :sigh: next time… It was near closing and I needed to pick up a dozen glazed. Never could go wrong with the original. Sometimes less is more.
I believe I ordered from the owner who was very nice. He packed it up in a box and I happily paid. I did wish there was perhaps a handle to hold it, and wax paper to protect and separate the donuts from seeping into the box. Have to
save the glaze;)
Anywho, the donut was soft and pillowy with every bite. The glaze was perfect. It was a SwEEeeeeeeeeeet donut!

Usually Mr. Donut’s & Bakery closes at 4pm on a weeknight, but lucky me they were open late with a crazy good $ 8 for a dozen sale! I got an assortment of filled and glazed yeast donuts with a couple of apple fritters for good measure. These pastries are big, my box weighed close to 9 lbs – and yeah, I really did put it on a scale when I got home.
If you are looking for something not too sweet, go with the chocolate-​peanut butter. I know the glazed chocolate on top and white chocolate chips may look sweet, but with the only mildly sweet peanut butter filling, this donut might actually pass for a indulgent sub to bread and peanut butter for breakfast!
Simple donut lovers should go for the classic glaze or cinnamon glazed donut. These are sweet and have a soft roll like quality and oiliness from being fried. The apple fritter is a good alternative to a donut. There are bits of apples and cinnamon and nice crunchy edges.
They also have filled Boston Cream, lemon, strawberry, and raspberry donuts, donut holes, rolls, and more. If you are passing by and want a sweet treat, try Mr. Donut. And if you are feeling generous, these are definitely big enough to share.

«Mmmm…Doh-nuts!» I can’t help, but hear Homer Simpson say that in my head as I pass Mr. Donut. Not to get confused with Mister Donut in Japan, this Mr. Donut in Downtown Honolulu is THE place to your sweet treats. You will be the most popular kid in the office if you show up with a box of delectables from Mr. Donut.
I have always been a bit confused by this site. There used to be a KFC in this site for a long time and then there was some kind of bento place, then a cinnamon roll place with Thai food on the side, and then a bakery with sandwiches. The occupants kept rotating, so after a while I kind of lost track until one day I saw a line forming outside. I peeked through the window to find a display case with donuts as big as your face. There were glazed, sugar, decorated, and jelly-​filled donuts dancing before my eyes. I had to get some… so…I DID.
Mr. Donut has the best and freshest donuts in Downtown Honolulu. It is one of the few places where you can watch the donuts being fried, glazed, and laid out on a pan to cool. I’ve had their glazed donuts while they were still warm… HEAVEN! Nothing compares to fresh, warm donuts. They literally melt in your mouth.
My favorite donut here is the Glazed Donut (I’m a purist when it comes to donuts). I love to order the Glazed Donut Holes or the Glazed Twist Donut too! The Cinnamon Rolls are big enough to share as well as the Maple Bars. There are also Chocolate and Strawberry Donuts and Jelly-​Filled Donuts for the those who are daring enough to bite into them without getting the jelly on their shirt and pants.
Mr. Donut was closed for about a month. It looked like it was closed for good and that made me super duper sad. Regal Bakery (which I kind of think is overrated) was much too far for me to get to by foot for me. I was so happy that Mr. Donut opened again this month! Hooray! Hooray! «Mmm…Doh-nuts!»

Six giant butter rolls for less than $ 8! Fresh and yummy! The deal is buy 5, get 1 free. Haven’t tried the donuts yet, but they look ono. Always come back for the butter rolls!

Look at their hours!.. and right in downtown, on the corner of Bishop and Hotel, that’s always a plus for the working crowd! The only downside is no quick parking for those who want to just grab a dozen or two for work and run in the early AM. boo.
Got here about 7:45 this morning to pick up some of my coworker’s favorite donuts for his 25 yr anniversary with our company! woo! He was the first to share these delish donuts with our office — apple fritters, to be specific. I’m so glad he did because now our office has a go-​to donut place nearby!
There was already a line of about 7 of us and with 3 people behind the counter helping customers, the line went pretty quickly. Not the friendliest folks this morning. As a lady took my order, I felt VERY rushed (it was my first time actually buying here so I felt so pressured!) and when I ordered donut holes, I heard a guy worker yell out «what kind?»… «what KIND?!» and then I realized he was talking to me, despite him helping someone else! I guess since he was already getting some for his customer, he decided to yell out to me. Whoa, calm down.
Ok ok, I get it, they’re busy and they got a line to move. But really — not a very good first impression and not this early in the morning. Deep breaths.
I got 4 HUGE apple fritters at $ 2.25 each, 3 glazed at $ 1.00 (WHOA! who sells these sized donuts for that cheap anymore), a blueberry sprinkles and a chocolate sprinkles for $ 1.25 each, and 6 donut holes ($ 0.25 — can’t go wrong!!) for a grand total of $ 16.75 including tip. Not too shabby!
As I got rung up and gave them my credit card (THANK GOD they take credit card now cause I just read some reviews saying they were cash only and I didn’t bring any), I wasn’t thanked or anything, but again… they were busy?
I will be back despite the semi-​bad first impression because 1. they’re fast 2. their hours are awesome 3. their donuts are soooo good. I’d also up it to a 5 if they up their customer service. :P

100 Unilocal Review Challenge 2015: ¹⁰²⁄₁₀₀
I was craving a classic chocolate cake donut and Unilocaled «nearby» for bakery’s and Mr. Donut’s & Bakery came up, conveniently located in downtown near Bishop & Hotel. I’ve seen this place before but it was temporarily closed. Now they’re back and I am SO GLAD! At 11AM on a Wednesday, they still had a large selection of different types of donuts and I think the donuts are made fresh daily! The workers are really nice and efficient, so the next time I am craving a donut you know where to find me :)

Update: Mr. Donuts is celebrating it’s grand reopening today with one, fresh, warm, delicious, glazed doughnut per each customer! So happy this shop is back! These are the best doughnuts I have eaten and will always come back for more (even if I have to cheat on my diet — just a little).
Added tip: cash only for now, until further notice, so bring in your extra one dollar bills and treat yourself to warm, gooey goodness; you really don’t need those bills for anything else, do ya?

Finally got to try Mr. Donuts! I was so hungry that I forgot to take a pic before eating, so I have a pic of a partially eaten one haha
The service is good. Although I read reviews that the owner is rude, he was polite and greeted me and asked how my day was while the employee got my order.
I tried a butter roll before which had a slight sweet taste… I just wish it was a tad bit more buttery. Today however, I tried the blueberry roll… So good! Not too overpoweringly sweet, but still sweet enough and fluffy :)
I recommend heating up the rolls a bit in the microwave. Yum! I’ll definitely be back

I’m so happy I finally got to buy donuts here! The first time I visited, they had closed early because they had sold out. Not sure where you’d park in the area. I walked over before having breakfast at Square Barrels in Bishop Square.
We tried a vanilla, a chocolate, a twist and a glazed. The donuts were really good sized and the twist was huge! The yeast donuts were really soft and sweet! The kids and I loved them. Really affordable too.
After breakfast, we went back. By that time, they were almost sold out so definitely go early for the best selection.

Not sure what has happened since the last time I visited these guys (one year ago), but OMG, their pastries are better than ever. Super fresh, soft, sweet, and super duper delicious! Portions are larger than average, yet priced below average.
What they really should do is partner with a good coffee company, because their pastries are so sweet that coffee is a must!

Omgah, sugary goodness!
Stopped in here for morning pastries to take to the office.
Its incredible how large and fluffy they get their donuts to be!
As other reviews state, the line can sometimes be a bummer, but the guys behind the counter are usually pretty quick in getting your orders through.
The hardest part is when people in line want to mix a bunch of different pastry selection in their box, that takes the most time.
Suggestions?
I adore their traditional glazed donut and cinnamon roll.
YUM!
