Company information: The story of Hoopla actually begins with Phil & Sebastian, who, like many humans, have been known to enjoy a really good donut with really good coffee. Always searching for that perfect mix of high-end donut ingredients, flavour, and presentation, they refused to settle for anything less - and one day, after yet another fruitless quest, they realized they didn’t want to live in a world of sub-par pastries. So they set out with their head chef Leslie Morrow to simply create their own.
