I am in Hawaii a lot, and every time I drive from Kona to Hilo, this is a must stop. I swear you can smell it coming before you can see it. Such friendly staff, and oh my, the cookies... I always get the big assorted jar, and I am ashamed to admit that they do not last long at all.

Such kindness within the staff. My aunty and I came across this place after eating these cookies on Maui forever and got excited and pulled over. It was 2:45pm (they close at 2:30pm) so we were just looking at the building until a kind worker opened the window and offered his service if we wanted to buy!

I've tried lots of cookies around the US, but Donna's cookies are the best.
Definitely highly recommended, must give it a try! 😍🍪

You cannot miss this awesome cookie spot if you drive by. You will smell it from far away and cannot resist to make a stop here and buy a jar of their freshly baked cookies. Eat it when it's still hot, and try to ask yourself to stop before you already eat too much.

Wow, I was never a fan of shortbread cookies till I had these. I'll be buying an extra suitcase for bringing back more with me next time.

I purchased the macadamia nut shortbread cookies, and they were among the best i ever had, the peanut butter cookies were good but not the best. Butter shortbread cookies were also delicious. They have many varieties of cookies.

They have a little walk-up window to take your order. Parking is a little awkward because people park any which way. The facility appears clean and people were helpful. The prices are steep for locals but typical for tourism. I probably will not be coming back only because of the cost.

Parking: Parking is not organized, but free on the street.

These are the best cookies on planet Earth! I got the assortment and every one of them were delicious! They taste fresh like they just came out of the oven even within weeks after purchase. You can taste the love and care with every bite! Shipment was successful bcz all the cookies were whole and not crushed. My co-workers loved them too and came back for more!

Very helpful and kind staff, delicious cookies, country side location. We were planning on getting either their shortbread or almond cookies but they made us a custom mix of both ? Not only delicious but beautiful too. Definitely worth the stop if you’re driving by. Just make sure you check if they are open before you drop by.
