Holey Grail Donuts was founded in 2018 by a brother-sister duo on a mission to create a farm-to-table donut that exemplifies the beauty of Hawaii. Their first location was a little red trailer in the quiet town of Hanalei on the North Shore of Kauai. Since then, Holey Grail has expanded to Oahu and the Los Angeles area. We are currently expanding and this position will train in our Santa Monica and Larchmont Village locations.

Our donuts are made with Hawaii-grown taro root, fried in organic coconut oil, and made to order. They are plant-based, utilizing fresh local and seasonal ingredients and without the use of artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. We serve our donuts hot with our unique coffee and tea options that feature housemade cashew coconut milk on tap.
