Doughnuts were made fresh, came out hot and very moist. We got purple haze and the original sin. Both were amazing. I love that the glaze was not too thick or two sweet. Just right without making you feel sick from the sweetness. I hope when I come back, I'll be able to try different flavors. Highly recommend trying these doughnuts out! They are one in a few of the best doughnuts I've had. read more

Holey Grail Donuts - Left: original sin, right: purple haze - Vegan Near Me - Hanalei, Hawaii

5/5 for the donuts. Every flavor we've tried has been amazing. Lilikoi is our favorite. 2/5 for the coffee. When we came to this same location 8 months ago, the lattes were much better then, some of the better coffee up north. They've changed their coffee. Today, they were not good at all. They weren't balanced or nuanced. They gave us our drinks about 20 seconds after ordering, so there's no way someone could have pulled a fresh shot of espresso. Maybe they were draft lattes? My husband and I were very disappointed. Bring coffee from another shop to enjoy with your donuts. We'll come again for the vegan donuts, but we won't be getting their coffee again. read more

Ever had Taro donuts before- must try if not. Freshly made to order donuts Limited flavors based on the week but they do have a few permanent donuts. Lucky enough to have tried Holey Grail in Hanalei, Honolulu, and Long Beach. But the Hanalei location is the best imo. Island feel definitely. Their coffee is really good and they use cashew milk. The classic 4 donuts are all good but the weekly specials are great. Lucky enough that we have a group of people to share multiple donuts read more

(Late review - July 2024) A viral donut shop where all the influencers raved about. It's located in a quaint food truck area. My husband and I had high expectations from all the recs. The service was swift and courteous. Everything is outdoors so the seats are picnic tables next to the truck. The donuts are beautifully crafted, enticing to the eyes. I can't say the taste is the same. The donut texture and flavors did not stand out nor memorable. I recalled the donuts were on the dense side. Bottom line: Not worth the hype. read more

It feels like this place is really selling the fancy boxes as much as the donuts. We tried the Chocolate Crunch and the Rick Martinez donut. They make them fresh right in front of you, and they come out hot, which is fun to see. The donuts were on the smaller side and a bit pricey at $5 each. The Chocolate Crunch was a little too bitter for me, though the filling inside was good. The Rick Martinez donut was amazing thought.The flavor was really unique, with delicious creamy icing, a fluffy interior, and coconut sprinkles. Plus, it didn't taste oily. read more

Fancy doughnuts. Pretty delicious. I like the crunch of the crust. I enjoy their creativity. It's not a daily doughnut place because of the high prices but I've gone a few times when I'm feeling rebellious, giving my wallet the bird. I appreciate they have multiple tables in the shade. read more

Holey Grail Donuts - Original, cinnamon, Ricky Martin, and....I can't remember. - Vegan Near Me - Hanalei, Hawaii

Oh so delicious & unique donuts. Family for a box of five so we could try some different ones. They were served HOT which meant it did take a few minutes, you can see them making the donuts fresh through the window. Worth the wait! We got an original sin, tropical swirl, food of the gods & chocolate crunch. All were loved by our group. Tropical swirl was the least loved by the adults as it's extremely sweet but the seven year old loved it. Overall favorite for my group was the original sin. Maple isn't my thing so I didn't try it. My favorite was the food of the gods - it had tons of vanilla sugar on it and was so different from any other donut I've had. It's well balanced and not too sweet. There's a covered outdoor area you can eat in which was helpful for us in particular as it was raining when we stopped in. read more

If you're putting together a food list for your trip to Kauai, Holy Grail Donuts needs to be on it. After Java Kai, this is easily our next top recommendation! We tried four flavors--Original Sin, Cocoa Nibs, Passion Fruit (Lilikoi), and Honey Glazed--and let me tell you, they were all phenomenal. But if we had to choose, Original Sin and Honey Glazed were the standouts. Yes, I know that sounds basic, but sometimes the classics just hit different--and these absolutely did. The donuts are perfectly sized--not too big, not too small--and the servers are as nice as the donuts. On our visit, they recommended what to order and we got lucky with a free donut. We actually ended up visiting both locations just to try different flavors and get the full experience. No regrets. 10/10 recommend making a donut detour (or two) during your stay. Ps- it is a food truck and has limited seating. read more

It says this location is permanently closed here, but I went and had them a few days ago, so I'm not sure that's right. My husband and I got a box of four to try different flavors: chocolate, sugar cinnamon, hot single, and lilikoi. They had tables to sit at and a really fun laid back vibe. It is a counter service, and the girl working was super kind and gave us recommendations for things to do during our trip. The donuts here are made fresh to order, so they came out hot. They are taro based and were a little thick for me, but my husband and I both still enjoyed them. I especially loved the frosting on the lilikoi. Absolutely delicious! Overall, great place to try!! read more

These donuts are made from taro, seed oil free and made to order. They get the taro from the patches seen in hanalei- how can it get better! I especially love their fruity flavors- they're surprisingly not too sweet. Their peanut butter chocolate donut was a bit too rich for my liking. The line and wait can be fairly long so I'd advise ordering on the app. Sometimes this place isn't always open when they say they are, so the app is a good way to check. read more

Yelpers recommended this stop as a must. We ended up ordering one of each donut drom the menu, sampling them and then ordering another batch of our favorites. The donuts are surprisingly dense but fluffy if that makes sense. We also ordered a couple of their coffee drinks, they only come iced. The stop has a couple long bench-style tables with a patio cover and the donuts are made fresh within the trailer. There is cute merchandise for sale to purchase to bring home a souvenir. We visited twice during our stay in Kauai. read more

Holey Grail Donuts - Original Sin & Rick Martinez - Vegan Near Me - Hanalei, Hawaii

Tried to come here 1130 on a Wednesday off-season. A full hour and a half before closing, only to find a big fat closing sign in my face. Honestly, I don't consider that acceptable at all unless you have some sort of mechanical breakdown. I have worked in food service before, and sometimes we could understand closing five minutes early but not a full hour and a half. They allege they are made to order but seem to have sold out as though it's premade. Mind you, this was also off-season, and on a Wednesday. Totally unacceptable and really disappointed after we dealt with traffic to get into Hanalei. This place isn't even local anyway. They are based in Oahu. They have locations in Los Angeles also. Maybe they will accommodate you better. read more

Holey Grail Donuts - This box was sitting nearby. Mocking me. But don't expect to get it if you don't come a few hours before closing. - Vegan Near Me - Hanalei, Hawaii

Perhaps I am too generous of a rater - but this place deserves nothing lower than 5 stars. First off, everything about the aesthetic of this place is wonderful - from the unassuming appearance to the place to the massive variety offered on the menu to the glorious coloring of the POG (Passionfruit, Orange, Guava) donut - even to the box that housed my delectable donut itself... everything had such INTENTION behind it. The donut was the best I have ever tasted - freshly fried with the perfect crunchy exterior and concurrent fluffy interior. My only regret is not having ordered another, because as you can tell from the photos, the size is fairly small... leaving you tempted to buy a million more right? Anyways, will rave about this one for awhile. AMAZING. read more

This is a very tasty option for donuts in the Hanalei area. We arrived early and they were made to order on site. Much better consumed hot but still good later. Expensive but hey most of the time you're on vacation when in Hanalei and who cares on vacation right . They were smaller than I had anticipated, but packed full of flavor. The service we had was great. There's even a small stream outback behind the picnic area where you can sit and enjoy your donuts. read more

Very cute donut food truck selling fresh/made to order donuts! They had a few flavors we wanted to try but were full from lunch, so we just got 1 strawberry matcha donut and an iced matcha latte. Love that they already use DF milk but the coconut flavor from the coconut cashew milk was quite strong and couldn't really taste the matcha. The donut also only tasted like the oil it was fried in.. so overpowering that we couldn't taste the strawberry or matcha unfortunately Not sure if this was just today because it was our first time But super friendly service! They have some tables outside that you can enjoy your food at or take it to go read more

Some of the best donuts I've ever had, hands down! We got a box of four to share between the two of us, which was the perfect post-hike treat. Every donut is made to order, so they came out hot, fresh, and fast. We tried the Lilikoi, Chocolate Crunch, Food of the Gods, and POG, and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Each one had its own unique flavor, my favorites were the fruity ones they were unlike any other donut I've had. Highly recommend stopping by, especially if you're looking for something delicious and a little different from your standard donut shop. read more

Packaging, presentation & service was great and I appreciate that they are made hot & fresh. However the donuts are super small and very expensive for what you are getting. I get cost of living on Kauai is high but over $20 for 4 tiny donuts is a bit extreme... the donuts themselves were also a little too dense and had a old cooking oil after taste. read more

This donut place is unreal. First of all, the name is amazing and it totally fits. The donuts are made fresh right in front of you, and they come out hot, soft, and absolutely delicious. I got the Original Sin donut and honestly, I could eat a hundred of them. The flavor was just that good. Service was solid, especially considering they make everything fresh to order. The donuts are a bit on the smaller side, but the taste more than makes up for it. Plus, the girl working there was super kind and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop but make sure to order a couple since they are very small. read more

It's a good donut, but probably won't be back. True to their messaging these are made fresh to order. They will come out hot and are crunchy to the bite... but taste oily. We ordered: -- 2 chocolate crunch -- needs a tad more sugar -- 1 POG -- light flavor -- 1 chai -- very light chai in flavor Quite pricey at $4.50 each. For this price I'd rather have a malasada or cream puff -- those are also roughly at the same price point. The donuts are definitely made fresh, so expect a wait of at least 10 minutes, longer if there's a line. The smell of oil around the hut and from the donuts is not my favorite. There was a bit of oil residue in the box from the donut I ate. Maybe it's how long they drain the oil afterward -- I don't know. Just didn't taste great. I also ordered a cocoa latte and it was ok. Essentially a mocha but with cashew/coconut milk. I think this may be more suited for vegans. The donut and latte sat heavy and the tastes just didn't hit the spot for us. read more

This is no ordinary doughnut. These are made with taro and they are served HOT! Service is on the slow side because your sweet treats are made to order so be patient. Your mouth will thank you. This local business will appreciate a tip too. There are several options to pick from. The Yelp secret menu QR code on the widow doesn't work but there are plenty of menu offerings to pick from. The food truck is towards the back so save room for these treats. I recommend eating them while they are hot but don't burn yourself. There's seating close by for you to indulge immediately. read more

Great little food truck. Service was great. My only complaint is the prices. Almost $30 for two donuts and a coffee and latte. Coffee was good, but the latte was amazing. Made with coconut cashew milk. I can definitely say it's the best latte I've ever had. Donuts were good too. I got the special of the day. Sorry, I forgot what it was called. They were just a little tiny and expensive. We were def still hungry but not willing to spend more. read more

FML. These donuts are fire. They're just as good if not better than any trendy donut spot you can think of, and for multiple reasons. 1) Ingredients are indictive of Hawaii. Lilikoi being the main one we all wanted to try. 2) Freshly made to order. Like Krispy Kreme, but on a small scale, and way better tasting. 3) Presentation. I love they way they give the donuts on a "designer" paper. Or a nice box. IT IS a little pricey, however this really isn't a donut spot you buy a dozen to share with co workers... This is a trendy craft donut spot that you add to your stops while in Hanalei! read more

The shack the sell out of is pretty cute & service was nice and fast but that's about the only nice thing i can say about this place. They only have 8 flavors i believe and it's about $5 per donut which is smaller than my palm. The donuts tasted very greasy which is not a good mix with the flavors we got. I was very disappointed, i heard lots of good things about this place but i ended up with a stomach ache because of how oily the donuts tasted. While they were very fresh the oil they were fried in tasted old or over used. I don't think i would recommend this place it doesn't really deserve the hype in my opinion. read more
