"Aspirationally speaking, we hope to one day wake up and be able to walk to Holey Grail’s original Kauai location whenever we want. Until then, we’ll happily drive to Santa Monica or Larchmont Village to get these fried-to-order taro donuts. The taro flour base Holy Grail uses, as well as the coconut they’re lightly fried in, gives the donuts a sweet, earthy flavor. Each location rotates flavor weekly, but you’re usually going to find tropical-esque toppings and glazes like passionfruit, cardamom and rose, and chocolate with chile pepper.

"Taro doughnut shop Holey Grail Donuts opened a second LA store in Larchmont Village at 148 N. Larchmont Boulevard. Founded in Hawaii in 2018 by siblings Hana and Nile Dreiling, Holey Grail is best known for its tropical flavors and sustainability-minded wares. The brand, which raised $9 million through venture capital financing for its current expansion, opened its first LA store in Santa Monica in December 2022. Holey Grail also operates stores in Hanalei and Honolulu." - Cathy Chaplin
