PURVÉ Donut Stop

The donuts at Purvé are so very flavorful! I think the birthday donut looks very cute with the teddy bear in the middle. The service is top notch and the staff are so very kind!

Six + years and going strong. Very Strong! #purve#donuts#sweettoothToday is National Donut Day (Thank you Guy H/Texas) as your HEB pic reminded me to go and get my donuts! There is no better donut shop to visit than PURVE Donut Shop. This visit I got my normal six pack with the "One" free donut that accompanies a six pack. Yup! It's National Donut Day for sure! They were busy... But follow the drill of filling up the order form, pay for your order and wait for it to get delivered to your hungry hands!Be sure to ask for the daily special flavors.Fun Fact(s)Nick & Brion started this bakeshop over 6 years ago; in fact, I think Purve's anniversary is coming around the corner? The fun fact though is Nick and Brion were bartenders and converted their careers to bakers (from bartenders) to settle down, raise a family and you know the rest.Purve hosted a number of Yelp Elite Events and Yelp Unofficial Yelp Events becoming a favorite to quite a few from Japan.Purve now has a location in Kahala although I am partial to their flagship store on Kona Street.The unknown fun fact is "where does that unicorn come from"?

Since its opening in 2018, we have been to PURVÉ Donut Stop on Kona Street several times for their creative and sumptuously flavored glazed cake donuts. Oddly, I hadn't written a review for this business back then, so for AAPIHM, I decided to indulge in eating my favorite flavored glazed cake donuts. Admittedly, I'm more of a yeast-raised donut gal, but the cake donuts at this shop have kept my sweet tooth happy.What spurred my sweet tooth was seeing and signing up for the Yelp Elite APIHM Event announcement while I was traveling abroad. I hadn't received event attendance confirmation, but since I had business to take care of at the nearby Ala Moana Center, I first went to satisfy my sugar cravings. It was near lunchtime anyway, and several customers were seated at the community tables, eating donuts and sipping hot beverages. Walking in, both men greeted me as I headed to their counter for an order sheet. At the same time, I inquired if my name was listed as an attendee for the Yelp APIHM Event and found that it wasn't. No problem, I had planned on getting donuts anyway. I like PURVÉ Donut Stops' creative names and delicious flavor combinations for their glazes. Their cake donuts are made-to-order, and their fluffy cake-like texture tastes even better when eaten warm.Thankfully, they have a list of 12 "standard" flavors and one option for a Special Flavor, so I didn't have any decision issues. A single donut will cost you $3.25, but if you order 6 to 11 donuts, the price decreases to $3.00 a piece. A purchase of a dozen donuts further discounts the individual cost to $2.75. The cashier and donut maker, the younger man, was charming in verbally describing the standard glaze flavors and their Special of the Day (Lavender + Sea Salt) as he pointed to the donut samples.After making my selections, I paid for my purchase and waited inside their air-conditioned store while watching the two workers make and decorate the donuts. It didn't take more than 10 minutes from start to finish, and I rushed to Ala Moana Center to meet with my husband (who was also anxiously waiting to eat the donuts and lunch).

Amazing service! They are always so welcoming to us, especially spoiling our pups with a free plain donut. Their donuts are soo good and made fresh to order. The toppings look deceivingly overly sweet, but they are not. Such a beautiful balance of flavor and sweetness. Staff is always so friendly and welcoming. My fave is the na-na-nut buster but I've enjoyed all the flavors like the lavender honey sea salt (a Weekly D), the Sanchez, etc. highly recommend!

This is the OG location. Opened about 6 years ago (before Kahala). They can customise doughnuts and have a few sort of off menu ones. They gave me a "dirty sanchez" and omg that is now my new favourite one. It was so good I forgot to take a picture...Inside is open, and despite having the oil going, it doesn't fill and overpower the store. While I was there, a mom came to pick up doughnuts for what I assumed was a team sport snack. Great idea, actually. Nothing beats a fresh doughnut. It's definitely a great location.

Amazing donuts! Tried these at an event at Ala Moana. The shop evidently had a fan base. The customer in front of me used to live across from this donut shop and could name every donut and describe every flavor to me. These cake donuts are the perfect texture! I tried the "Sunburnt Haole" (Lemon Glaze Blistered with Li Hing Mui) and the "Jimbo" (Cinnamon Sugar Pounded into Caramel Apple Pie). These are exactly the texture you want cake donuts to be! This plus the unique flavor options makes PURVÉ one of my favorite donut spots ever. As of 2024, there are two locations. There's options to order online pickup or delivery. Of note, pricing depends on how many donuts you buy. 1-5 donuts are $3.25 each, 6-11 donuts $3.00 each, and 12 or more donuts are $2.75 each!

I haven't tried all the flavors we bought yet but I'm getting there. In these Pandemic times you get tired of the stuff we make at home and need something different in your life.We decided to try PURVÉ since we were going to be in the area(not just wandering). We placed our orders online and they were ready when we got there. Still warm! There was a small problem but they rectified it immediately and took very good care of my daughter in-law.I would definitely go back when this is all over!Btw, every flavor I tried so far is really good. Not cloyingly sweetI didn't finish the old review! LoL.Post pandemic review:Brought my friend in and she decided to gist a bunch of people donuts after thatDonuts are great and the guys are really nice. We were there two days in a row!

Whenever someone asks me where is my favorite place for donuts... I always say Purvé because they are in my top 3 favorite donut places!! I love how you can watch them make your donuts. It reminds me of Krispy Kreme but way better. Their donuts are made as you order so they're fresh and warm.Hands down my favorite one is still the na-na-nut buster! It's a haupia glazed donut with mac nuts and chocolate banana drizzle. You can taste every bit of flavor equally and it's just so good. If you love haupia, chocolate, bananas, and mac nuts, then you need to try this donut. My mom loves cake donuts so she also loves Purvé and she doesn't eat donuts too often. But she'll eat theirs :) They have a different special donut every week called "Weekly D" so when you visit them, make sure you take advantage of that because if you go back the following week, they'll have a different donut!

Purve donuts are the best. I love that they're cake donuts and not regular donuts. I can totally taste the difference. I usually go to the Waialae location, but it was my first time at this location. I thought that it would be out of the way, but it was fairly easy to find. It's on Kona St. and you go up the ramp of the Iolani building. There's a decent amount of parking once you get up there. My favorite is the Sunburnt Haole. The lemon glaze with li hing powder is so good. The hubby is more basic and went with the Sanchez. It's just tossed in cinnamon and sugar. We also tried the Sanchez with cream cheese glaze. It was so much better with the glaze to me. It made all the difference, but he likes it plain. We also got the butterbeer freeze. I love this. It's delicious. It's similar to the butterbeer at the World of Harry Potter at Universal. It's not quite, but very similar. I could taste the butterscotch, especially with the drizzle on the walls. Get this if you get a chance.The guy helping us was very nice and personable. He answered all of our questions and was a pro at making our donuts. All of their donuts are made to order. There's nothing better than fresh and hot donuts.

Made-to-order donuts seems like it should be a more popular concept than it is. The donuts here at Purvé are close to perfect - the dough is kind of a hybrid between yeast and cake and engineered almost perfectly to be eaten almost right out of the fryer.I ordered 3 donuts and ate them all by myself standing in the parking lot. 5/5 no question
