Holey Grail Donuts

5-5100 Kuhio Hwy, Hanalei, HI, 96714, United States

Overview

Holey Grail was founded by siblings Nile and Hana Dreiling and began as a Kauai food trailer selling made-to-order doughnuts using local taro and rotating, island-inspired flavors. The company sources ingredients from local vendors and uses a "doughnut robot" to increase efficiency while keeping doughnuts fresh. Since launching it has expanded from a single red trailer to three trucks and a storefront, and plans to open two locations in Los Angeles. The founders emphasize freshness and local sourcing over mass-produced mixes, offering flavors like black lava sea salt and citrus "caviar." Holey Grail has drawn strong consumer demand with long lines and investor interest, and has raised venture capital to support growth. Founders say the original concept was not built to chase VC but expanded serendipitously after investor engagement.
