We started with a 4-pack just to try them and somehow left with two 9-packs. They're that easy to keep eating. The classic glazed and cinnamon sugar were standouts, but honestly everything was good. The matcha and chai were both smooth and not overly sweet. They were perfect with the donuts. The space was bright and calm. Don't underestimate how many you'll want. We miss them already.

The Grail is not found by those who seek it unless it wants to be found. Today, it found me!! ;D…read more Holey Grail Donuts (est 2018) is an artisanal donut shop in Santa Monica. They have other locations in So Cal. HGD's story began with Nile and Hana Dreiling, siblings from Hanalei, Kauai. Their donuts have unparalleled quality utilizing fresh and local ingredients that had my mind blown. Know what's best?! It's made to order, so your donut will be warm, soft and tasty. Moreover, they have compendious menu that customers will surely appreciate. Each donut has unique names and flavor. I arrived Saturday noon to grab an Iced Coffee and a Hot Single donut (cheat day). I was warmly greeted by an affable and professional staff, Sofia. She was the only staff at the time when her coworkers were on their lunch break. And customers started to come albeit in small batches. I almost offered to help her out take orders or make donuts. ;D Lol. I hope this young female staff gets a significant raise for going above and beyond. I know I would. I enjoyed my cold drink and my 2 donuts (a complimentary Original Sin donut was given to me). I was befuddled for such a kind gesture. Anyways, their cute mini donuts were the best donuts I ever had. Not too sweet just perfect amount. It's like a spiritual awakening from the Holy Grail. lol. ;D Furthermore, its interior layout was spacious, neat and naturally well lit. They sell some merch, tumblers and mugs as well. Seats are plentiful. Atmosphere was relaxing. Collectively, this is an exceptional and unique donut shop. Plenty of public parking lots in the area. Overall, I truly enjoyed my cheat day- donuts. I highly recommend you visit the holy grail of Holey Grail donuts. ;D

It added to creating the pink box that donuts come in, which is now a famous staple all over the world. Their buttermilk bar put them on the map, but they're also famous for their cinnamon roll and a whole bunch of other donuts. Located over in Sawtelle in a small strip mall, there is a free small parking lot attached in back. It's best to arrive early because everything sells out by 11AM. Inside is quite small and is more designed as a place where you grab and go. The server was very friendly, and even though we were late, there were still some good options before close. The cherry donut and cinnamon roll were real standouts. Honestly, anything you get here will be great, and I would highly recommend to any serious donut fan.

Fortunately, we went when it wasn't too crowded so we were able to take our time and chat with Wendy, who gave us so much great information about Primo's. We decided on the Glaze Twist, which I must say is my favorite glazed donut in the city! The Famous Buttermilk stole my heart and I will never eat one anywhere else! The Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Crumbs was the runner up and definitely a great choice. The shop is small, but this is where the action happens! We love Primo's and can't wait to return!

I got my free birthday donut here (sign-up and add your birthday in the app) and I got the Celebration Cake donut. The donut was sweet with a crispy glazed exterior and a soft and fluffy interior. It was also still slightly warm which I liked since it gave me the impression that this was freshly made. It did get a bit too sweet for me towards finishing the donut, so eating half at a time is honestly good enough. This is more of a grab-n-go type of spot, but I think they have some outdoor seating in front of the store. There's also parking which Sidecar can validate. I would highly recommend this chain and it's one of my spots I take visitors to. Also, if you download the app you can get a free drink and donut for your first time :)

The place is super cute and very clean. The staff is fine, nothing to write home about. They really don't see too interested in the customers. But they are okay. Parking is pretty easy. What they do make well is coffee. I love dark black coffee and they have that and more and it is very good. Their prices are high-- I think too high. They do have a decent selection on hand. I would go there for coffee, but I won't bother with their donuts anymore. I really hope they work on making sure all donuts are fresh. Their cornbread is good. I have a friend who wanted to try them so we went back and I still found them stale tasting, but great coffee.

To know if a donut shop will be above average there are two things that have always been a sure…read morefire bet. 1 of 2 and you know it will be good. 2 of 2 it will be really good. One is open 24/7. The other is if they make and sell crullers. (The French donut). This place does both. And for certain it is very very good. Also the prices are very respectable. Over the past 7 years prices have gone from $1 to now $3+ or some places have not just raised their prices but started making smaller donuts. This spot has big donuts and they are fire. Def worth the extra few minutes of a drive if need be.

The donuts, all of them are just great. They have an excellent selections and the prices are fair. They don't sell super fancy donuts, just great donuts that you will want a dozen of to take away. I know that someone delivers, but I am not sure who. It is close to us so we just drive there. The mall itself on the outside is not really kept clean, but it is in front of Wendy's. There can be a lot of homeless around there. Please ignore them. They just may want money to buy drugs. They are never allowed in the store and the mall has security. You will be fine.

We looked around for breakfast along the Venice Ocean walk and stumbled upon this place on a small side street. The store is beautiful and that is actually what caught my eye. They have a great assortment of donuts in a display and serve coffee as well as other breakfast items. We chose two donuts and one hot coffee and one iced. We got the apple fritter and something called the old dirty dastardly, which was chocolate frosting, peanut butter, and even more chocolate stuff. One of the best donuts I have ever had!. Reminded me a bit of the Painted Dough near me. I am tying to remember so hard the lady's name who served us. She was awesome! We talked for a bit about Venice Beach as well. I believe her name was Brittany and if not, we were there Saturday morning at around 9am. Outstanding employee! Come here and try their donuts. You will not regret.

[Parking]: Street parking only, but I got lucky and found an available spot right in front of the cafe. [Atmosphere]: This is mostly a grab-and-go spot, but there are a few outdoor tables to sit at. The cafe was open on Labor Day. [Menu]: Customers can place an order ahead of time by ordering online or calling ahead. Some of Yelp's top highlighted items are the Acai Bowl, Breakfast Burrito (bacon, turkey sausage, or veggie sausage), and Breakfast Sandwich. It is an extra $3 for an avocado add-on to the breakfast burrito. *** Bacon Burrito (Bacon, scrambled eggs, American cheese & side of homemade tomatillo salsa - $11): The secret green salsa sauce was quite spicy. The filling was mostly egg, but it had a good portion for an $11 burrito and the tortilla was excellent. *** This is a solid and no-frills breakfast burrito spot in Venice.
