Freshly made (artisan) donuts with a variety of unique flavors. Wasn't crowded at all on a weekday morning. The experience was neat as you get to see all the donuts and mark which ones you want. We ordered 3, but they kindly gave us an additional one for free. Note they are a bit sweet but if that's what you enjoy, definitely worth checking out!

I have been coming here off and on ever since I read about them in a Honolulu magazine article. I stop by every once in a while, and I really needed a donut on this trip...or should I say donuts. On their instagram, there was a new D, a thai inspired donut that I had to have. What I love is that they are made fresh. So it's not a grab and go kind of thing. But you can order online and they'll be ready when you get there. Of course I also had to have my unicorn butt sneeze...LOL! And the owner gave me a freebee. Great place to come to if you want something unique and/or special for yourself or others! Mahalo Purve!

You're Killing Me Smalls, The "Jimbo", Hulk Smash

Purvé is an absolutely amazing place to get donuts! The donuts at Purvé are so soft, always taste so fresh, and the flavors are never too overpowering. There are lots of unique options to choose from, so there's something for everyone here. I love the names of the donuts as well. My personal favorites are the "You're Killing Me Smalls," "Hulk Smash," and "The Sanchez." The service is always awesome here. The staff are super kind and seem like they genuinely care about how you're doing, and they are always happy to help! They even had us wait for a bit so that we could have donuts from a fresh batch. They also gave us an extra donut for free and chatted with us while we waited. The vibe of the place is always so awesome at both locations. The colors, decorations, packaging, menus, art, and everything are so on point! I highly recommend paying Purvé a visit for some tasty donuts!

Been a minute since we were here... But some things do not change. Or should I say donut change. Excellent service and selections. Nice chill ambiance. Definitely consider this donut spot if You're visiting. This of you locals or kama'aina's, you already know wassup!

Weekly D - POG

Made fresh and always ono! Celebrated national donut day by treating myself (and my family) to the best donuts on the island. This week's special was a POG glazed donut which was killaaaahz. Can't wait to go back!

Gunnar R.

Donuts where really good, some of the names of the donuts were a little concerning but the guy in there was really nice and funny

Friendly, knowledgeable staff
Kat K.

Friendly and informative staff was so helpful on my first visit to this shop. All doughnuts are made to order. So many different selections to choose from.

Bry R.

Such delicious donuts!! So many flavors to choose from and they have a weekly donut flavor changes every week. The donuts are made fresh as you order them and you can see the process. The employees are always so nice and give my pup a snack when we visit! My favorite is the aloha Mac nut! It's loaded with Mac nuts on top! Yummmm!

Because today is national donut day

Six + years and going strong. Very Strong! #purve #donuts #sweettooth Today is National Donut Day (Thank you Guy H/Texas) as your HEB pic reminded me to go and get my donuts! There is no better donut shop to visit than PURVE Donut Shop. This visit I got my normal six pack with the "One" free donut that accompanies a six pack. Yup! It's National Donut Day for sure! They were busy... But follow the drill of filling up the order form, pay for your order and wait for it to get delivered to your hungry hands! Be sure to ask for the daily special flavors. Fun Fact(s) Nick & Brion started this bakeshop over 6 years ago; in fact, I think Purve's anniversary is coming around the corner? The fun fact though is Nick and Brion were bartenders and converted their careers to bakers (from bartenders) to settle down, raise a family and you know the rest. Purve hosted a number of Yelp Elite Events and Yelp Unofficial Yelp Events becoming a favorite to quite a few from Japan. Purve now has a location in Kahala although I am partial to their flagship store on Kona Street. The unknown fun fact is "where does that unicorn come from"?

Jeannie N.

Amazing donuts! Tried these at an event at Ala Moana. The shop evidently had a fan base. The customer in front of me used to live across from this donut shop and could name every donut and describe every flavor to me. These cake donuts are the perfect texture! I tried the "Sunburnt Haole" (Lemon Glaze Blistered with Li Hing Mui) and the "Jimbo" (Cinnamon Sugar Pounded into Caramel Apple Pie). These are exactly the texture you want cake donuts to be! This plus the unique flavor options makes PURVÉ one of my favorite donut spots ever. As of 2024, there are two locations. There's options to order online pickup or delivery. Of note, pricing depends on how many donuts you buy. 1-5 donuts are $3.25 each, 6-11 donuts $3.00 each, and 12 or more donuts are $2.75 each!

They make the donuts to order

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).

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

4 doughnut box. Weekly doughnut is the lower left.
Dianna R.

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.

Soft opening is today!!! It's busy!!

When is the ETA for the Kahala location at Kuono Mktplace?

We asked about a month ago when we were in the store & they said not for several months.

Do they sell Gluten Free donuts?

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

Do they sell the unicorn shirt?

Nope. Just cake donuts - but done sooo well. Crispy outside, fluffy inside. By far the best cake donut I've ever had.

Not yet

Is there a discounted price for larger orders?

TLDR: Long lines even at opening, customizable options but consistently good!…read more Can't say I haven't had authentic acai up until this point. For some reason, I totally forgot that good acai could be found in Hawaii!! Hello!! Its not just the fresh fish ya'll I walked here and there was still a line by 7, and even longer one when I went the next day, but it does move quite fast, especially with some of the workers letting people know they have a sit down resturant next door so just food for thought if you want more actual food options! As it stands they have quite an extensive list of juice, coffee, acai. I decided to go with a more basic route but instead subbing my fruit for what was in season which was mango, lilikoi and lychee. You order at the front and they call your number. They have some seating around as well but if you're at the hawaiian center you can just sit downstairs. The fruit alone was out of this world. I was actually so focused on that I wasn't even thinking about if the acai was good which I think it was! It comes out rather creamy, not frozen or icy. The price is a little steeper than what I've had in the past but honestly the fresh fruit alone made it extremely worth it. A regular sized bowl was quite filling! I came back the next day and it was still just as good. I know some people probably prefer different locations than others but I can rep this one for sure. Its in a very touristy place, maybe even the mecca so if you want to avoid that then avoid any location in waikiki

Sunny's Local Grind, Waikiki: A Little Hidden Gem Serving Big Breakfasts and Even Bigger Aloha!…read more BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Fantastic breakfast, generous portions, and some of the friendliest service you'll find in Waikiki! Sunny's Local Grind is a small, unassuming neighborhood eatery serving delicious food with plenty of personality and genuine aloha. Definitely worth a visit! The Details: My wife and I stumbled upon Sunny's Local Grind while staying at the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village. We'd dropped off some laundry at Ena, a wash-and-fold service down the road, and decided to grab breakfast while waiting for our clothes. Having checked out Sunny's Yelp ratings beforehand, I was pretty confident we'd found a winner. Still, you never quite know until you experience a place for yourself! The restaurant is small and casual, with a cozy dining area decorated with colorful local artwork. Unfortunately, the Hawaiian heat and humidity were in full swing, and it was a little too warm inside for my haole liking. Fortunately, Sunny's has a charming little outdoor dining area tucked into the alley alongside the building, complete with wooden tables, shade sails, and tropical decorations and a refreshing tropical breeze. Perfect! Now, let's talk breakfast! I ordered the Garden Omelette with Portuguese sausage added, accompanied by rice. WOW! This thing was absolutely packed with fresh ingredients, and best of all, it was loaded with glorious, gooey, melted cheddar cheese! One of my pet peeves with restaurant omelettes is when they advertise cheese but deliver barely enough to qualify as a garnish. Not Sunny's! They certainly were not stingy with the cheddar, and I appreciated every delicious bite! My wife ordered the French Toast with haupia coconut sauce, accompanied by eggs and bacon. She thoroughly enjoyed her breakfast, and was sweet enough to share a bite. I can certainly understand why! We need to start making haupia sauce at home...! The Service Deserves Special Mention! The folks working here were absolutely delightful! Warm smiles, vibrant personalities, friendly conversation, and plenty of laughs and witty banter. It's the kind of genuine hospitality that makes a small neighborhood restaurant feel special. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived, and that friendly atmosphere continued throughout our visit. And speaking of personalities, we even encountered an adorable little black-and-white dog perched proudly in the front basket of an electric bicycle outside while its owner stopped to order some food. Naturally, I had to snap a picture! That little character looked like the unofficial neighborhood supervisor, keeping an eye on everything! Final Thoughts: Sunny's Local Grind is located just a block farther down Ena Road from Aloha Kitchen, within easy walking distance of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It's not fancy, nor does it pretend to be. It's simply a wonderful little local restaurant serving hearty, delicious breakfasts with generous portions and terrific hospitality. Between the outstanding omelette, my wife's delicious French toast, and the genuinely cheerful staff, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Would I return? Absolutely, without hesitation! Sometimes the best meals aren't found in the fanciest restaurants. They're tucked away in little neighborhood spots where the food is made with care and the aloha comes naturally. Sunny's certainly lives up to its name. The food is delicious, and the people brighten your day!

This place has been on my list for a while, and I finally made it in. I arrived around 7:30 AM, and…read moreit was moderately crowded. We waited about 10 minutes to order at the counter, and the food came out within another 10 minutes. I had the Sunny's Loco Moco, Decaf Coffee, and the Caramel Apple Pie. The Loco Moco was okay -- the meat was dry and the gravy felt a bit heavy. The decaf coffee was too weak and acidic for my taste; I usually grind my own Swiss water decaf and make it pour‑over style, and mine is definitely better. However, the Caramel Apple Pie was delicious, and I'd come back just for that. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with this visit. Maybe I should've tried something other than the Loco Moco.

I originally was planning on getting a red velvet cake for my sister's birthday but consulted with the fam and decided on this anniversary special plus 4 of their famous Diamond Head Puffs, offered at BOGO deal. We ended getting several of their anniversary specials to give away to others and a box. After our dinner, we asked the staff who kept it chilled from when we arrived at the restaurant and were in awe of the attention and detail and precision. Crowd favorites were the mango mousse cake and Japanese cheesecake. Their Diamond Head puffs don't disappoint. So perfectly shaped with a firm exterior and center generously filled with cream. Some may think the cakes here are pricey but the quality and flavors justify. I personally enjoy the nama chocolate and eye stunning rainbow cake. I'm still glad we get to enjoy Kulu Kulu and even a super plus when they have their anniversary special. Congratulations for celebrating another year and looking forward to my next visit.
