Best donuts of my life. Not exaggerating. Just tried it for the first time today. Sweet little stand in Kaimuki. Boston Creme was rich and delicious. But the vanilla glazed one was my favorite. Yum!

Nice fluffy vegan donuts but some flavors are much too sweet and overpowering. Flavors are fun. Customer service is good.

Everything we’ve ever tried of Little Vessel co. has been A+. Highly recommend to all. You can tell they put love into their work.

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! My first review for 2024! Also, grateful for another year to be Elite! OMG!!! What an amazing collection of vegan donuts...vegan...who seriously would've thunk it? Well, Sachi MacLachlan did...and did it right! The vegan pastries I've had just didn't get it quite right. These light and airy gems are delicious! Even the next day they are still delicious!!! I met Sachi's husband out in front and he told me the background story. I had also read about Little Vessels in the Honolulu magazine. I have had my fair share of the creative and tasty donuts out here, but these are like magic! I don't even want to go get my regular mochi donuts...so I am under the Little Vessel spell! Definitely worth checking out and waiting for! Plus they're healthier so I can eat six! LOLLLLL! Mahalo Little Vessels!

You had me at donuts... This very exclusive treat is the real prize if you're able to get your hands on them as this these hand crafted delight are available for just three days a week...visit their Instagram @littlevesselco for more details. It's been awhile since I've been able take part of Keep It Kaimuki Saturday and it was fate that I've been given the extended day off and absolutely didn't want to waste that moment and took full advantage of this opportunity. It was a party in the back lot of Mud Hen Water with a few other vendors there as well but what really interest me are those donuts that I've been wanting to try as they sell out so fast and they had ten types to choose from was just mind-blowing! First of all these are all vegan plant base and in the cutest square shaped all bougie'd and dressed up and impressed me for sure as we just wanted one and what difficult decision it was though I thought that our choices was quite festive with "Cranberry Calamansi" for me and "Rosemary Pumpkin Cheesecake" for her and we received a free mini vanilla glaze donut with purchase...yum! It was a short wait once we ordered our donuts and the service here is just a delight, so friendly and helpful with any questions that we had, and once we got these warm and freshly made donuts ahhhh it was truly delicious and absolutely loved them with each bite we were just saying how much each of our donut was just delicious! Thank you!

We're regulars here because it's just so awesome! The food's always fresh, and they mix things up with seasonal flavors. They're raising money for a storefront - check out their Instagram for the link! And, of course, get there early before they run out. They sell out often. :)

I'll start by saying that I don't typically like donuts. I just don't see the hype. However, I have enjoyed most of the donuts I have had from Little Vessels. I especially like that they are vegan because I am no longer eating dairy. They have a lot of great classic flavors and some interesting flavor combos as well. I also like the texture of these donuts. My only issue is that they are pretty sweet, so a little bit goes a long way. If you don't like really sweets foods, these might not be for you. It's worth a try, though.

Amazing!!!!!!This hidden gem is behind Mud water hen. The park is tiny, so just park on the street and walk over. They are only open on the weekend Saturday - Monday. The donuts change weekly and there is a special donut that rotates too. The fritter and donut holes also change! I have been following for a while and wanted to try these vegan donuts. If you follow their IG you can see what the menu is for the week and if they sell out early. It's only 10-2 or until sold out. They do respond on IG relatively quickly since there's no phone number.Anyway, this has the be the best vegan donuts I've tried so far in Oahu. It's big and fresh and so many flavors!! The size is not tiny unlike another vegan donut place in town. You probably know where. Anyway, I was amazed how HUGE the fritter was and got it because it's banana peanut butter with "bacon"! Usually it's apple but this one was inciting and sooo tasty. Next, I love lavender, so I came just for this flavor and was not disappointed. Half vanilla and half lavender glaze. The lavender glaze is amazing. Love it! Donut was so light and fluffy. I highly recommend both donuts and definitely making my way back to try other flavors in the future weeks! It's worth the calories.
The best donuts on Oahu. Light, fluffy, and delicious.

HOLY FRIGGIN' CRAP...As a long time FRITTER consumer (since childhood!), and a close neighbor to this place...I can hands down tell you (or anyone you know) that their FRITTERS ARE THE BEST ON THE PLANET (or at least here in Hawaii.) As a vegan who sometimes needs to indulge in vegan junk food, here is my review. They are light, tiny bit greasy, break apart easily, have large chunks of fruit in them (because it's healthy!), and are lightly glazed. Seriously...yum/wow/omg/need more/nom nom nom. Support your local vegan donut shop. Show them love. Go often. Tell your friends. You will be happy with what you find here. The rest of their donuts are great too. You can find their specials on their IG. 10/10 stars.

Holy Mother of Donuts! We happened upon Little Vessels Donuts on our way to brunch at Mud Hen Water. I really went over to check out Local I'A Fish Market and to my delight...there was Little Vessels Donuts out on display...working out of the shared kitchen. As chance would have it...I know Emily, who was selling the donuts....so you know service is on point! So...it's almost a pop-up but the space could not be more festive. Brightly painted murals adorn the exterior walls and the table side set up for the donuts is utterly charming. Friends...The donuts are LIT! Watermelon Lime, Classic Vanilla Glaze and Cherry Lemonade Fritter. Oh...did I mention they're vegan? In my mind...that makes these donuts healthy! Go ahead. Try and convince otherwise. I'll fight ya! The yeasted donuts are as soft as clouds and if they weren't so damn tasty, you might want to take a nap on one. Fritters are my weakness and this hits all the marks while evoking a trip to Sonic for a cherry lemonade. Such a wonderful surprise. They're open Sat and Sun 10A-2P & Mon 7:45A -11A or until they run out. Get they're early and say hi to Emily!

decided to check this place out with one of my friends since i kept seeing it everywhere on insta. it is on the pricey side (like most donut places) but the size is pretty decent. these were all very good - but they were also pretty sweet. im not a fan of too much sugar but if you like that type of desserty type donut then this is definitely your jam. i liked the strawberry shortcake one the best and it was definitely good with a nice black coffee. i also got a bag of donut holes (not pictured) with powdered sugar to share with my mom. it wasnt bad but also again very sweet. wish there was an option with light sugar and cinnamon? maybe? (i think there was but seasonal?). parking lot is a bit small and a little sketchy - ull have to be good at reversing. while i trust myself, others not so much lol - so i found a nice spot on the street.
