"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.
