Glazed seem to be their specialty. Both flavors that we got were the best we’ve had on Kauai.(Up to interpretation since donuts aren’t a place in which the islands excel, unfortunately.) These aren’t like mainland Daylight Donuts as filled are custard style for those used to «kreme» from parts of the mainland. The selection gets slim after 9−10am so get there early. Will go back if we need a donut fix on Kauai.

I’m sorry Kauai, your island is beautiful, but your donuts are awful. I stopped by here on the way to airport, and boy was I unimpressed. Not only did they have like only 5 types of donuts left, but they weren’t that good at all. I will give them a plus for being creative, as I have never had a maple bar with cream in it, but alas it wasn’t that good. I even tossed out the chocolate sprinkle donut because it was gross. If I ever come back to Kauai, I hope you get your donut shops in order.

Favorite place for donuts on Kauai and I usually get the same thing. The donut balls on a stick. This past trip I skipped the Starbucks and got my coffee here as well. Felt good to support local.

One of the only places on Kaua’i to get fresh made donuts in the morning. Their glazed donuts rival any chain(ie Krispy Kreme), and it’s a great neighborhood spot that reminds me of a mom and pop donut shop in a small town on the mainland. The maple bacon donut is a must! Get there before 8am on a weekday and bring cash unless you plan on spending more than $ 10

5 stars for the donuts, 1 for the coffee. Honestly worse than 7 – 11 coffee or local gas station.

The best donuts! We arrived while they were closing because they didn’t have much left. They loaded us up with the best donuts and cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. These donuts do not leave a yucky film in your mouth. They are delicious!

Just had their donuts today and they are soft and fluffy! I prefer a simple glazed donut and they were perfectly light and airy! They could probably take the same dough and fry it to make the perfect Malasada. Unfortunately they don’t sell malasadas here but they need to. 4 stars for only being open til 11am.

Skip hotel & Resort breakfasts. Come here and try the maple bacon long john or the apple bear claw. We were too full with our pastries and coffee to try a malasada, the great Portuguese donuts.. but there’s always next time.

Blueberry donut– must try. Chocolate spindle donut– great. Glazed– standard. I liked this place, the donuts were soft and didn’t taste like bread — which many other donut places on the island do. This is where I would go if u truly want something that tastes like a donut.

Great donuts. Freshly made everyday. Four stars only since they don’t have decaf coffee. Donuts were 5 star!

Pretty close to the Marriott. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to try it because when I arrived, there was a note on the door saying closed on Sunday’s. What kind of donut place is closed on Sunday’s?

We were headed to the airport and heard about this place on the radio. So we looked it up real quick and figured we could make it in time and back to the car rental place and we did! I think we got their a little late. The lady looked like she was cleaning up and there were only a few donuts left. She seemed pretty busy with what she was doing and only friendly enough to be nice, but not friendly enough to actually be friendly. We got enough stuff to pay the $ 10 credit card minimum and got out of there so she could close up shop. The donuts were good, the girlfriend said the coffee was fine and the cinnamon rolls were tasty as well. That side of things was just fine, just wish we had caught her at a better time.

Donuts were good, customer service was terrible!!! Got there at 9 o’clock so didn’t expect a huge variety but still thought there would be a few more choices similar to the pictures they advertise. After paying and saying thank you to the girl working she completely ignored us… I would have given 3 stars if she had been a little nicer.

The Donuts are amazing, but the customer service is lacking. I walked in bright and early in the morning, there was no «good morning» from the lady who was working that day. She just blatantly asked, «what do you want?». I told her what I wanted, which was a dozen donuts, and she just stood there, while I was deciding what dozen I wanted. There was no recommendations or anything of that manner. She just literally stood there, basically like a robot. After I paid, I said thank you, she didn’t respond, she just went on her phone. I’m only giving it a 4 star, granted it was early in the morning. This place would get the 5 stars, if it had better customer service.

daylight donuts is hands down, the best donut place on kauai. it’s similar to dunkin donuts, except you can’t get that here! they open early, and sell out quickly. if you want your basic, deliciously glazed donut(or donut holes) you need to get here early! otherwise, you’re stuck with more of the gourmet donuts. worth checking out if you’re in lihue!

The best donuts I’ve had in a REALLYREALLY long time. Not dry at all. So moist and yummy. We stopped here multiple times on our trip to Kauai. Our favorite was the apple fritter type doughnut and in second place was the stick doughnut. Parking is never a problem and doughnuts are cheap! What are you waiting for?

All the coupon books we picked up from the airport with all the ads said that Daylight Donuts had«the best donuts in Kauai.» Luckily we were driving back from the local Wal Mart for swim shoes: P and were able to stop by! Located in a weird shopping center, we saw the donut sign from the street. We walked over and there weren’t many donuts left. The lady said they ran out of a lot since they were open since 6AM… it was a weekday, and we got there closer to 9AM. We picked up 1 german chocolate, 1 chocolate with cream in the middle, and a simple plain cake donut. All decent, enjoyed them very much! Maybe they need to spice up the shop a little bit, because there is so much updating they could do! They had souvenir hats and shirts for sale too. Maybe in the future they’ll have more trendy donuts like cronuts and cray flavors.

The best place to get donuts on kauai! Prices are great. $ 11 for a dozen, can’t go wrong there! The boyfriend loves their maple bacon donut, kids love the glazed and chocolate donuts. They have a variety of different donuts to choose from. Coffee and cold drinks are also available, the workers are very patient while you decide what you want. Cinnamon rolls are good(get the cream cheese frosting with it too) Donuts are soft, not to sweet. Great value.

We found this place just driving and looking around. We actually had to make a u-turn so we could go, we missed the entrance to the parking lot. It’s a small donut shop with a few tables. We got there around lunch time so there wasn’t a huge selection but it was decent. I really didn’t have high hopes for this place, but I was really surprised! The donuts are actually very, very good. I had a maple donut. It was delicious & I actually can’t wait to go back again. I really shouldn’t be going as often as I would LIKE to, but sometimes you just want a snack and only a good donut will do! Minus one star for not not staying open late(sorry I got spoiled with other 24 hour donut shops) And for some reason my donut cravings hit at 10pm!
