Holey Grail Donuts is announcing its first “Breaking Bread” collaboration of 2023 with American skateboarder and entrepreneur, Tony Hawk. The special donut crafted using Laie Vanilla Company’s vanilla is a reimagined take on Tony’s favorite Holey Grail Donuts classic, “The Original Sin” modified with deeper flavors of vanilla, maple, burnt coconut caramel, and flake salt. The $5 donut will launch on Thursday, February 2, and be available at all Holey Grail locations until February 28. Twenty percent of the sales from this flavor will be given as a charitable “dough-nation” to The Skatepark Project in Hawaii, a non-profit organization designed to develop safe and inclusive public skateparks in disadvantaged communities for at-risk youth to develop a sense of self-esteem, while teaching them to make positive changes within their own communities.
As of 2023, “Breaking Bread” will become a monthly series of donut collaborations orchestrated with celebrities, chefs, and people doing great things in the world! Former “Breaking Bread” donuts include collaborations with notables such as musician Donavon Frankenreiter, chef Mei Lin, food personality Rick Martinez, and culinary collective Ghetto Gastro.
“Part of our ethos is to be a contributing member of the community by supporting local businesses and charitable organizations,” emphasizes Nile Dreiling, co-founder of Holey Grail Donuts. “This partnership with Tony Hawk enables us to continue to expand our ’ohana while supporting local businesses such as Laie Vanilla Company to produce a quality product that will ultimately give back to the various communities in Hawaii.”
Holey Grail Donut’s Honolulu Flagship Store is located at 1001 Queen Street, on the Makai (ocean side) entrance to Whole Foods Market Queen. The store is open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Ample free parking is available in the Whole Foods Market Queen parking garage, or in the Ward Entertainment Center immediately fronting the Holey Grail Donuts.
