    Best. Donuts. Ever! Super fresh. Super yummy. Lots of gourmet choices...well worth it if you love donuts and who doesn't love donuts?

    They make the donuts to order
    Lyla D.

    Since its opening in 2018, we have been to PURVÉ Donut Stop on Kona Street several times for their creative and sumptuously flavored glazed cake donuts. Oddly, I hadn't written a review for this business back then, so for AAPIHM, I decided to indulge in eating my favorite flavored glazed cake donuts. Admittedly, I'm more of a yeast-raised donut gal, but the cake donuts at this shop have kept my sweet tooth happy. What spurred my sweet tooth was seeing and signing up for the Yelp Elite APIHM Event announcement while I was traveling abroad. I hadn't received event attendance confirmation, but since I had business to take care of at the nearby Ala Moana Center, I first went to satisfy my sugar cravings. It was near lunchtime anyway, and several customers were seated at the community tables, eating donuts and sipping hot beverages. Walking in, both men greeted me as I headed to their counter for an order sheet. At the same time, I inquired if my name was listed as an attendee for the Yelp APIHM Event and found that it wasn't. No problem, I had planned on getting donuts anyway. I like PURVÉ Donut Stops' creative names and delicious flavor combinations for their glazes. Their cake donuts are made-to-order, and their fluffy cake-like texture tastes even better when eaten warm. Thankfully, they have a list of 12 "standard" flavors and one option for a Special Flavor, so I didn't have any decision issues. A single donut will cost you $3.25, but if you order 6 to 11 donuts, the price decreases to $3.00 a piece. A purchase of a dozen donuts further discounts the individual cost to $2.75. The cashier and donut maker, the younger man, was charming in verbally describing the standard glaze flavors and their Special of the Day (Lavender + Sea Salt) as he pointed to the donut samples. After making my selections, I paid for my purchase and waited inside their air-conditioned store while watching the two workers make and decorate the donuts. It didn't take more than 10 minutes from start to finish, and I rushed to Ala Moana Center to meet with my husband (who was also anxiously waiting to eat the donuts and lunch).

    This is the OG location. Opened about 6 years ago (before Kahala). They can customise doughnuts and have a few sort of off menu ones. They gave me a "dirty sanchez" and omg that is now my new favourite one. It was so good I forgot to take a picture... Inside is open, and despite having the oil going, it doesn't fill and overpower the store. While I was there, a mom came to pick up doughnuts for what I assumed was a team sport snack. Great idea, actually. Nothing beats a fresh doughnut. It's definitely a great location.

    Smores donut

    Love going here! My favorite is the smores donut. I could eat it every day. The workers are always so nice and Brion is the best! I love the new location although its far for me since i live in Kapolei. That's probably a good thing haha hope they are around for a very long time.

    Whenever someone asks me where is my favorite place for donuts... I always say Purvé because they are in my top 3 favorite donut places!! I love how you can watch them make your donuts. It reminds me of Krispy Kreme but way better. Their donuts are made as you order so they're fresh and warm. Hands down my favorite one is still the na-na-nut buster! It's a haupia glazed donut with mac nuts and chocolate banana drizzle. You can taste every bit of flavor equally and it's just so good. If you love haupia, chocolate, bananas, and mac nuts, then you need to try this donut. My mom loves cake donuts so she also loves Purvé and she doesn't eat donuts too often. But she'll eat theirs :) They have a different special donut every week called "Weekly D" so when you visit them, make sure you take advantage of that because if you go back the following week, they'll have a different donut!

    Purve donuts are the best. I love that they're cake donuts and not regular donuts. I can totally taste the difference. I usually go to the Waialae location, but it was my first time at this location. I thought that it would be out of the way, but it was fairly easy to find. It's on Kona St. and you go up the ramp of the Iolani building. There's a decent amount of parking once you get up there. My favorite is the Sunburnt Haole. The lemon glaze with li hing powder is so good. The hubby is more basic and went with the Sanchez. It's just tossed in cinnamon and sugar. We also tried the Sanchez with cream cheese glaze. It was so much better with the glaze to me. It made all the difference, but he likes it plain. We also got the butterbeer freeze. I love this. It's delicious. It's similar to the butterbeer at the World of Harry Potter at Universal. It's not quite, but very similar. I could taste the butterscotch, especially with the drizzle on the walls. Get this if you get a chance. The guy helping us was very nice and personable. He answered all of our questions and was a pro at making our donuts. All of their donuts are made to order. There's nothing better than fresh and hot donuts.

    I haven't tried all the flavors we bought yet but I'm getting there. In these Pandemic times you get tired of the stuff we make at home and need something different in your life. We decided to try PURVÉ since we were going to be in the area(not just wandering). We placed our orders online and they were ready when we got there. Still warm! There was a small problem but they rectified it immediately and took very good care of my daughter in-law. I would definitely go back when this is all over! Btw, every flavor I tried so far is really good. Not cloyingly sweet I didn't finish the old review! LoL. Post pandemic review: Brought my friend in and she decided to gist a bunch of people donuts after that Donuts are great and the guys are really nice. We were there two days in a row!

    The donuts at Purvé are so very flavorful! I think the birthday donut looks very cute with the teddy bear in the middle. The service is top notch and the staff are so very kind!

    Celebrating St. Patrick's Day with these Lucky Donuts!!
    Irene M.

    Donut we celebrate with our eyes!! My phone may eat first but my eyes makes the first choice before my brains do and here at Purvè Donut Stop and this Kona Street location is hidden would be quite the understatement but very easy to get to and worth it and opening at 6am I'd have no excuses but my time constraint needs a lot of work. My first visit was for St Patrick's Day and you know I had to get their Lucky Charms Donut I mean just look at how super cute yet spectacular work of yumminess it was yaaaaa!!!! They had several types to make everyone so green with envy and it and the folks there couldn't be any more amazing as you watch them make it fresh right before your eyes...magical!!! My latest visit was for of course National Donut Day!!! Besides this fabulous place making the top ten of Yelp's top 100 donut shop you need to see the magic yourself right from the front door it's already gonna be epic and the staff is just so warm and friendly ready to answer any questions. For this event they were giving out free donut just for stopping by and it was a Lilikoi donut yum!! As I say my eye makes the choices here they help you with the dispay of donuts used as their menu and a laminated sheet for you to mark your choices is a fairly simple process...it's a matter of which one lol! Follow them on Instagram @purvedonutstop for the latest deets and weekly donut. Thank you!

    Katherine L.

    Amazing service! They are always so welcoming to us, especially spoiling our pups with a free plain donut. Their donuts are soo good and made fresh to order. The toppings look deceivingly overly sweet, but they are not. Such a beautiful balance of flavor and sweetness. Staff is always so friendly and welcoming. My fave is the na-na-nut buster but I've enjoyed all the flavors like the lavender honey sea salt (a Weekly D), the Sanchez, etc. highly recommend!

    Daniel O.

    Purve is one of those places where you can try a uniquely crafted and well-though out donut concoctions. It's not just a random donut you order when you go to Dunkin' Donuts. When you try one of their donuts, you are welcomed with the most delicious tasting donuts Located across from Kahala Mall, north of Lunalilio Hwy (H1), you'll find them in a gentrified shopping center. Their staff is always very welcoming, helpful, and kind. This time around, one of their team members came over to explain their process and each donut. I really appreciated it since we brought my family from out-of-state to give it a try. They enjoyed the entire experience and donuts. This is definitely a place to enjoy more than just donuts but a delightful experience.

    The donuts are made fresh, and by fresh, I don't mean made earlier in the morning; I mean that they are fried and dipped right in front of you after you order. They have a nice thin crispy layer that does not taste greasy. There are so many interesting flavors here with funny names. You pick what flavors you want on a notecard, kind of like how you order dimsum from a Chinese restaurant. My favorite flavors at the moment: *You're Killing me Smalls: S'more of Chocolate S'more of Graham S'more of Marshmallow * Unicorn Butt Sneeze: Lemon Glaze Butt Sneezed with Fruity Pebbles * Na-Na-Nut Buster: Haupia Glaze Lei'd with Macadamia Nuts & Chocolate Banana drizzle * It's OK...cuz It's Your Dog: Peanut Butter Glaze Soaked with Raspberry Slobber * Egg Nog Note: The Hulk Smash (Mint Glaze Double Fisted into a Pile of Oreos) tastes like toothpaste, so it's my least favorite. Looking at the Unicorn Butt Sneeze, my son just asked me what a butt sneeze is.

    Julie U.

    In the area so stopped by to pick up a box of donuts. Nice to have the samples to look at and descriptions so we could decide. They also have a weekly special. I was hungry so also bought a donut sandwich which was actually my favorite! You make your selections by noting them on a slip of paper and then the donuts are prepared for you. You can admire the colorful wall paintings and plush animals while you wait. One of a kind shop with delicious donuts!

    If I order online, is there curbside pickup?

    I don't believe there is you most likely have to walk in to pick it up.

    Do they sell Gluten Free donuts?

    Aloha, I am sorry we do not currently offer Gluten free donuts

    Do they sell the unicorn shirt?

    Yes. I believe.

    Do they make yeast donuts?

    Do they have keto friendly donuts?

    Not yet

    Is there a discounted price for larger orders?

    No idea. Give them a call about a special advance order. All I know is they've sold out of most everything if I show up late.

I don't really have a sweet tooth-I'm a no icing, no frosting kind of girl. I wouldn't dream of eating a cinnamon roll with icing, that's a no for me. But their donuts are delicious all the same and can definitely scratch the itch if you do have a sweet tooth. As someone who's vegan, it can be hard to find a dessert I actually feel good about, and this is one of those places. Everything is taro-based and cooked in coconut oil, which I really appreciate. Just a heads up-all of their donuts are taro donuts. The flavors come from the toppings, so if you see something like a strawberry one, the donut itself isn't strawberry--it's the topping. Their offerings change, ( they do have their core donuts that don't change-and I usually go for one "naked"--no glaze. Sometimes I'll get the honey and sea salt one. Right now they have a seasonal donut called Black Sabbath that's black sesame, brûléed banana. Every time I've been in, I'm greeted right away, and there's plenty of free parking. They get your order out super quick. If you don't want a whole donut--or you're eating in your car and don't want to make a mess--their little donuts called Holeys are the perfect pop-in-your-mouth option. The place has always be well kept and clean - and they have a very spacious, and equally as clean, bathroom. They also have an app where you can check the menu, keep track of your rewards, and manage gift cards, which makes it really convenient. Also, if you're not signed up for their rewards program, do it. You're basically passing up free donuts if you don't. Give them a go, share your experience and if your taste buds celebrated. SYOY!

PURCHASE(S) Na-Na-Nut Buster Donut ($3.25): Haupia glaze lei'd with macadamia nuts and a chocolate banana drizzle, the haupia was a bit faint, the macadamia nuts were plentiful, and the chocolate banana drizzle was aromatic and flavorful. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=J1RzbO29Oda8hgUFHIxzeA The "Jimbo" Donut ($3.25): Cinnamon sugar pounded into a caramel apple pie, this was the closest to an apple fritter, so I had to try it. Although it wasn't quite like a fritter, each ingredient stood out and paired well together. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=8q6KJoSr8Tq9iH0mhnARFw Unicorn Butt Sneeze Donut ($3.25): Lemon glaze butt sneezed with Fruity Pebbles, this was a crunchy lemony sweet mess from start to finish, and I loved it! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=KZWyOnAVf7H46uf5BRQnMA Brion Crying Sticker ($3.00): Simply cute! Purvé Logo Sticker ($3.00): I loved stickers and usually stuck them on the walls of other establishments, usually breweries. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=b90JRXfTPWMOcempMQEgWw Ladies Small Unicorn Pooping Donuts Tanktop ($25.00): I wished they had this graphic in an adult t-shirt! Alas, I bought this for a friend who wore it often and proudly! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=VRQTy9xdmynya4VwHYJm2w It's OK Cause It's Your Dog Peanut Butter Glaze Raspberry Drizzle Donut ($3.25): Peanut butter glaze soaked with raspberry slobber, this was a peanut butter's fan's wet dream... and probably a dog's too, if it was safe for them to eat! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=euoKuHhYXNFJUvTvT2pyaQ "Weekly D" Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter Glaze & Oreo Donut ($3.25): This weekly mystery donut was a combination of my two favorite cookies while the butter glaze was cavity-creating sweet and thick! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=7JZ3P0ozys95783u1SZFcQ SERVICE Greeted by a friendly young man behind the counter, he gave me some background about who they were, what they did, and explained some of the options. After I absorbed it all in and studied the choices, I placed my order, watched them craft each selection, and minutes later, my order was beautifully packed and ready for consumption. Everything was short and sweet which was all I needed - mahalo! PARKING (FREE) Located within the Ku'ono Marketplace outdoor shopping center, they shared a medium but tight parking lot with several businesses such as J. Dolan's, KAHALA MKT. by Foodland, Wholesale Unlimited Express, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and more, finding a spot could be difficult (I found a spot). Otherwise, I didn't believe there was any parking available along the main drag on Wai'alae Ave. (Lunalilo Freeway) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A spacious layout with a donut display bar somewhat in the middle of everything, a large counter area where you placed your order and was able to watch your donut get crafted, a small merchandise section close to the entrance, and you were smacked with colorful murals https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=fZNVWtPpm4ccs__LrXjwyA that surrounded you. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front wall windows and doors while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=g1zkn1bB8Ev8ObCNYLymYg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I had fun at Purvé Donut Shop, and would love to eventually try all of the different creations. Each donut was unique in flavor and style, was a pleasure to devour, and it was easy to eat more than one. The prices were comparable with other decorative ones I've had, and the service was calming and welcoming. Plus, it was always a pleasure to support a mom & pop small business. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $50.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STAR

    I live in Aiea, for years we've been without a doughnut shop!!…read more Island Glaze showed up a couple of years ago and I am thrilled! I really enjoy their glazed doughnuts, they taste like Krispy Kreme to me! I have cruised through the other choices and liked several of them! They do a good job with their fruit flavors. Strawberry, guava, and passion fruit were yummy! Peanut butter and jelly was good too! The people there are always eager to please and very friendly, even when I can't decide what I want to try! The shop itself is bright, there are places to sit and areas for kids to play! More importantly the shop smells heavenly and the doughnuts are fresh!!

    Walked in telling myself "just one donut"... yeah okay Next…read morething I know I'm holding a box of 6 like I showed real restraint. My inner fat kid was already side-eyeing me like "we both know that's not enough." That glazed donut though? Unreal. Soft, moist, and that glaze is straight disrespectful. Like melt-in-your-mouth, why-am-I-eating-this-so-fast kinda good. I took one bite and immediately started doing the math on how fast I could turn around and grab more without looking crazy. Halfway through the box I was already mad at myself. Who buys 6?? That's not a quantity, that's a warm-up. Should've got 12 and saved myself the emotional damage. Only reason it's not a 5/5 is because now I'm sitting here donutless, thinking about going back like a man with unfinished business. Next time I'm letting the fat kid make all the decisions

I've only had a banana fritter in Cali so this was a nice surprise. Bc it was banana mixed with apple, it had a hint of banana flavor. Crunchy n' glazed exterior with a very soft n' cinnamon interior. The malasadas are always tasty. Out of the poi, strawberry, n' orange, the orange has the most flavor come through. Ofc my kids highly enjoyed their donuts. Prices are really good on all the items we got ranging between $1.55 - $2.12; we spent right under $12 for everything. Will be back again!

We were staying in a hotel…read morenearby and had walked by Donut King Waikiki a number of times, and their donuts always looked great. So on this morning, when we had some free time, we decided to stop. The shop itself is rather small, with a couple of large display cases filled with donuts and a few small tables tucked into the corner. For my pastry on this morning, I chose the coconut croissant donut. From the time I stood in line until I was out the door was less than 5 minutes. My donut here ended up being quite good as it was light and you could really see the lamination in it. The coconut flakes on top added a nice flavor. The sticky glaze was fantastic as it reminded me of caramel and helped keep the coconut from falling off. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed my donut here and was definitely eyeing the ube coconut cake donut as well.

Even if you're in…read moreHawaii, there's no reason to assume that donuts should not be the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. During our recent trip to Waikiki, we set out on foot with the sun to see what we could see. The quixotic blend of homelessness in front of the Fendi store really drove home the duality of this place. But that's also a different review... As for Donut King, he may well be the actual Monarch of Fried Dough. A delectable selection of fresh donuts, still warm inside on a couple of them, and melt-in-your-mouth soft. My usual chocolate old fashioned was particularly good here... is that a hint of coconut oil? Or did I just have a little Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen on my fingers before I ate? No one knows. And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that this place is a cool little donut shop that made me feel like a local when I walked in. Service with a smile, regular ol' donut prices instead of weird designer pastry mark-ups, and plenty of Aloha. Worth the trouble of trying to find parking, but even better if you're on foot, and can walk off that little bit of sweetness.

We now see a For lease sign on one of the greatest Donut shops there is! This dedicated, friendly, consistent owner, his wife, and child was a great honor to have met in my lifetime. I and my fellow colleagues frequent this perfectly hidden Gem buying dozens of Donuts for the team these past 6 years. Prior to that I would visit this shop on my own going to and returning from work as a daily regime. This place was very much loved by everyone you passed by in and out of this business. Donuts, Bear claws, Cinnamon rolls and so much more. Such a sad sad loss that this family owned business is no longer with us.

Mr. Donuts is your more classic donut shop, but that doesn't take away from what they offer which is goodness in each bite, my favorites are the oreo white frosting one, the claw and the fritter, but nearly all of them have great taste. You can follow them on Instagram and order through messaging, pay with PayPal or Venmo and let him know when you will be there (park on the street, he will tell you where) and they come and bring them to you. Excellent service, price ($20 for a dozen), and taste there's a reason why I come from Kaneohe to grab my Donuts .
