    TLDR: Wildly Creative, Certified Fresh, but all that glitters is not gold. My coworker walked in this these pretty patties of assorted donuts in the morning. Quality: 5/5 - They are definitely made to order because they were still warm when we started eating them! How incredible! They were light and a little more of a east coast donut but still with enough pockets in the inside to not feel like it was too heavy to eat. Creativity: 5/5 - If you don't know what you ordered you'll need a legend to see what you're eating. If anything I'd add that as a suggestion to include inside a takeaway box. Each donut was unique in style, decoration, and flavor I was blown away. Taste: 4/5 - The only thing that's knocking off a star for me is the actual taste of them. Despite the various flavors they were all pretty sweet in my opinion. I probably would not do more than 2 full ones. Truthfully, none of them wowed me. I know, I tried to find it too. And some of them were just too out of this box for me like Yuzu? But that is definitely someones jam. I'm not sure what the price is but if you're willing to not just show up with a box of pink donuts and get some attention, I'd recommend it. I'd just say throw a few "regular" ones in there in case you have a picky eater.

    My Cosmic Donut

    I stopped into Holey Grail today specifically to try the Cosmic Churro donut. This donut is where cinnamon, vanilla bean, and sugar are all rolled into one delicious donut! There are other flavors that are outside the box, carefully crafted treats as well. The Rick Martinez donut has raspberry, dragon fruit, coconut, and dulce de leche. Choices like the Original Sin are more up my alley: real maple, Hawaiian vanilla bean, and sea salt make up this beauty. If you are more adventurous try the Hail Mary with cardamom and sea salt. This month's special is the Wild Guava with local bee pollen and edible flowers. My donut was $4.50 and a bit on the small side, but I really loved it! Service was very friendly (typical of Larchmont businesses) and the store is very clean and bright. Donuts are made fresh to order too!

    These donuts were good, and I love that they're made fresh, but the texture is a little bit more...spongy than I personally like in a donut. I love their flavor options, but I think I would like them better if they were a little crisper on the outside for the texture contrast.

    Tropical Swirl + Pandan Paradise
    Nick P.

    Delicious donuts. If you're into unique tropical flavors this is the spot for you. I tried their pandan donut and their tropical donut. Both are delicious. Not overly sweet at all. I initially bought the pandan donut and the staff was kind enough to gift me the tropical donut. She even gave our pug a little pet donut treat too. We absolutely appreciate her kindness. Definitely stopping by next time to try out their classic flavors!

    Chocolate Crunch, Chaga Chai, and Original Sin.  Super fresh and delicious.

    This shop in Larchmont Village makes your donuts fresh to order. Even as someone who never craves donuts, they are melt in your mouth wonderful. The donuts and coffee here are Hawaiian-influenced. We tried the Original Sin, the Chocolate Crunch, and the Chaga Chai. They were all good but the Original Sin one was the best. The Chaga Chai had a very unique cinnamon/chai thing going on. Don't sleep on the coffee here, either. They are expensive but outstanding. I never, ever crave donuts but these were very, very good.

    POG one of the best donuts I've had wow

    They make the donuts for you fresh here and it's made with care and love. This place doesn't have any seating inside but there was always traffic coming in and out while waiting for my donut. At first, I was like, wtf $4 for one donut but man is it worth it. The worker was friendly, patient and sweet. Gave me recs and knew how to help me choose flavors I wanted. The donuts and items are inspired by Hawaii because the owners apparently lived in Kauai. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors. They also have some souvenirs to buy, such as holy grail hats, clothing, Hawaiian chocolates, etc. Parking is easy to find in the streets or in the neighborhood nearby. Highly recommend and I will be coming back!

    The best donuts I've ever had! They don't sell pre-made donuts here. Instead, they fry them fresh to order, so you get to taste piping hot donuts straight out of the fryer. Just imagine how delicious that must be! They're not overly sweet, and the size is just right. I'd love to eat them every day, but I'll have to limit my visits... just to avoid gaining too much weight... lol.

    My favorite donut spot in La!!! Yummmm. The donuts are always fresh and always so delicious. They are vegan and fried in coconut oil so a healthier donut but the taste is unmatched! I love how cute it is here and the service is amazing! Thanks holey grail for being the bestttt

    Pandan and Lilikoi
    Dee B.

    Made of taro and rice flour. It's gluten free, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I picked 2 - flavors pandan and the popular lilikoi (passion fruit). Both fragrant fruit and leaf. Both captured the wonderful and unique smell of both leaf and fruit. Chewy and not so sweet. Very nice and helpful staff.

    This review has been a long time coming! Holey Grail is my favorite donut spot of all time and I try to go as often as I can. To preface, my preference for donuts are the soft and airy kind - not the cakey ones you can get at Sidecar Donuts. Think Krispy Kreme hahah. They're mostly vegan (the non-vegan ones will be labeled and contain honey). For those who are gluten-free, their donut holes will fulfill your needs. Their menu changes weekly and I've tried more of their flavors than what is listed below (but I don't remember all of them). So far, nothing has been a miss. FLAVOR (5/5): 1. ORIGINAL SIN: The classic glazed... Yummy, warm, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. 2. NAUGHTY LIST: Naughty list was delicious and reminds me of oreos with their charcoal streusel and cookie glaze! 3. MISO HONEY: The miso honey is my favorite of all time. The miso adds a savory element that balances with the honey well. 4. HAIL MARY: This is their cardamom and rose flavor, which I was quite surprised by. Not too sweet, not too much spice, not too much floral - they got it all just right. SERVICE (5/5): Service is great! They make their donuts to order so you can always expect them to be fresh. PARKING (2/5): It's Larchmont... so parking on the main street can be tough. I recommend parking the next street over in the residential area if you can. Make sure to check the signs. TAKEAWAYS: Donuts can be a divisive topic - some prefer cakey, some prefer airy, and there is no one size fits all. You might be a die-hard Sidecar Donuts fan, and that's ok. But is Holey Grail worth a try? Absolutely.

    Received a box of Hail Mary Rose and Cardamom donuts from a friend and was transported to Hawaii with every bite! These ube based donuts were exquisitely soft and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness to balance the cardamom spice. They were also beautiful to look at, with dried rose petals adorning each donut. My friend mentioned the space is super tiny and almost always busy because they're a favorite in Hollywood.

    Why does this location show as permanently closed. I was just there a couple weeks ago. Their donuts were so good so it's a bummer if they closed. Black Sabbath and purple haze were amazing. Melts in your mouth kind of good, delicious flavors. I see they have other locations so I will definitely get their donuts again. Cute spot. Service was super friendly and quick.

    Merchandise
    Chris P.

    Let me start by saying I'm obsessed with this place! It's my favorite donut shop in Los Angeles. The shop is clean, has a cool merchandise area, great music, and excellent customer service. The donuts are fresh and delicious, and you can even watch them being made, which is really cool. I didn't catch the guy's name, but he was super friendly and took his time crafting each donut--he's like an artist, carefully applying the glaze and toppings before placing them in a sleek black box. I tried the Hot Peach, Original Sin, and Hot Single. All were amazing, but the Original Sin gets a slight edge for me. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. There's street parking and paid lots nearby. I highly recommend checking this place out!

    All the donuts are vegan (except those with honey) at your Santa Monica location. Are they not vegan at this location? I noticed that it's not specified at the top of your Yelp page, unlike the Yelp page for the Santa Monica location.

    Yeah they are (except honey)

    Are these gluten free?

    Hi Sofia, they are not gluten free. We will have a gf donut hole coming out in the coming months.

    Aloha! I have a peanut allergy are there any donuts that I should avoid on the menu? Mahalo!

The drink wasn't sweet at all which I didn't expect, but it wasn't a bad thing. I wouldn't make any adjustments next time. The matcha was astringent, bitter, and umami. I did taste some slight graininess, but nothing too bad. I think they prepare the matcha as a paste then add it to the top of the milk. I've never seen other places prepare their drinks like this before! Overall, it was a solid drink for an decent price.
