    (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.

    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.

    Original, cinnamon, Ricky Martin, and....I can't remember.

    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.

    Flavors!

    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.

    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.

    The donuts here were delicious! Warm, soft, melt in your mouth. The glazes on top perfectly compliment the donut itself and add some lightness and sharpness. Highly recommend the Lilikoi and the ube.

    Taro donuts made to order with unique glazes. I had the tropical swirl. This glaze was a swirl of strawberries, passion fruit, and dragon fruit. DELICIOUS! Didn't get a chance to try any of the drinks bc they ran out. Also wanted to try pandan

    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!!

    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.

    Lilikoi, Chocolate Crunch, POG, Food of the Gods

    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.

    Original sin, hot single

    We stopped by before heading to the shuttle for Kalalau hike. It's a cute little shop on the site of the road and has pretty views. Donuts came out hot and fresh since they were made to order. The donuts were very small and both just tasted like glazed donuts.

    Take away box and menu.

    Great donuts! Even the sweetest one was not really as sweet as a regular donut, it was just right! The donuts are fresh made just for you at order time. The location is in a food truck court, with lots of seating and good parking. Nice and clean cooking area. This is the place to get donuts in Hanalei.

    I'm usually not a donut person but these donuts were good. They're chewy and the flavors are fun. We tried the ube, passion fruit, original and the hot single. All of them were good. Not too overly sweet. The staff was very friendly, too. Ample parking spot and shaded area to dine in.

    Guava, lilikoi, Ricky Martinez and peanut butter chocolate

    Ask the Community - Holey Grail Donuts

    Do the donuts have wheat flour in them? I see they are not gluten free, but also that they're made with taro starch so I'm wondering what in them has gluten

    Hi! Our donuts are soy-free, but not gluten-free. While we use cooked taro in our dough recipe there is also some low gluten cake flour added as a binder.

    Do they have vegan gluten free options?

    We have vegan options but not gluten free options at the moment

    Can you guys PLEASE be open on more days that Sunday?

    YES! We are now open 5 days a week come visit us :D

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Aloha, thank you for asking! Our dough is taro based but not gf.

    Is this place permanently closesd?

    We are only open Sunday at the moment 7-noon :)

    While staying at the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, we purchased the breakfast package at the 1 Kitchen…read moreHanalei Bay and little did I know that was a wise one. Everyday you can dine right in front of the bay and you can start your day with such a hearty diet! The beautiful open space , fresh smell of special locally brewed coffee and feathery visitors. Yes, you have a lot of birds swopping in to get a taste of the food when you just leave your table to refill from the buffet counters. The waiter gave a lid to cover our plates when we were gone. Coming to the food, the breakfast buffet was enough to feed a village, local to continental to international. Food options: Soaked oats Live omlette station - with veggies, cheese and meats of your choice Bagels, breads, pain au chocolate, croissants Avacado toast - garnished with grape tomatoes, radish, herbs Dumplings - veggie filled, steamed ones Miso soup Taro pancakes Tropical fruit juices Must-try, great service, ambiance and out-of-the-world views. Tip: Go early to get the best seats.

    Here for the first time and I was excited to see the amazing dinner views and if you're able to…read morecelebrate a birthday with the view sunset it's worth it -- we were sat an outside table with the sun setting and it was just beautiful would go back during the day. Also it was pricey but expected for an establishment like this . Started with the Kauai Tai was perfection would get it again love the liliko'i + hibiscus foam. Seafood tower was great for three , unfortunately mignonette was not fan of the poke or ceviche could have done without and had more oysters with the cucumber mignonette or some extra hamachi . MP catch of the day was a Hawai'i yellow fish or amber jack and it was cooked to perfection it was buttery inside and crisp skin with like green herb chimichurri like sauce . Spicy Kona crab rigatoni which had a great kick loved all the fresh crab on top Brussels sprouts were crispy and flavorful super tasty . Ending with the pineapple crème brûlée great we shared with three but definitely could have gotten my own and devoured if we didn't get entree heavy. Thank you to Darren our waiter who made great selections he definitely attended to us and made sure those water cups were full. Definitely would go back for another drink during the day .
