    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).

    4 doughnut box. Weekly doughnut is the lower left.

    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!

    Birthday donut, fruity pebbles, lemon li hing

    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!

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

    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.

This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.
