My son's favorite.Each malasada with filling is US$3.Without, US$2.Many flavors to choose from: haupia is popular.Eat your maladadas with shaved ice.Freaking hot in Hawaii, 24/7.

Best Malasadas on Oahu! Pro tip..order ahead and avoid having to wait in line. We got the original, cinnamon, custard, and hulapia all which were amazing!

These hot malasadas was highly recommended as a must-try in Hawaii but we were a bit underwhelmed. Tried some of the regular ones and the custard filled ones. They were good but nothing mind blowing or new? Not sure what the hype is but will definitely skip next time.

As a mainland resident, I gotta say EXCELLENT! It would be fantastic for breakfast with a hot cup of coffee overlooking the ocean. A must try in Oahu.

I love the fact that we have a Leonard's Malasada mobile truck on the Windward side!It's located at the Haiku/Kam Hy corner parking lot of the Windward Mall.They are open every day from 7am-7pm, 6pm on Sundays.Every time I have a friend in town from the mainland, it's definitely one of the places we have to stop at.And why do we have to stop here?!Well, if you have to ask, then you've never had a Leonard's Malasada before. It's Hawaii's version of a round, deep fried, dense, doughy, sugary hole less Portuguese donut and it's deliciously sinful.It's very simple, you have the most popular, the custard puffs.Malasadas filled with eitherchocolate dobash, custard or coconut haupia creamiest filling.If you're having a guilty indulgence feeling, you can go with no filling and get the ones rolled in original sugar, cinnamon or my absolute favorite, the LiHing sugar donut.They are a bit pricey, sugar ones are $1.85 and custards are $2.25 which makes a dozen $27! I'm kinda glad they're expensive, it keeps me from becoming one big Roly poly!! LOLThey got a fun new traingular tip "jar" instead of the hand written box, if you tip them and then ask for extra sugar, it's doubley delicious!They are definitely better eaten while they're hot, but you can microwave them for 30-45 seconds the next day and they're still good.So if you happen to be going through Kaneohe, let it be on your cheat day and indulge!!

I would fly to hawaii literally just to get these and fly right back, that's how much I love them. hot and fresh and delicious, leonard's never disappoints! I normally go to the brick and mortar location in honolulu but found myself craving malasadas in kaneohe so lucky for me, the truck was open and close by! I will definitely be back.

The plain varieties without the filling were way better than the ones with the filling. I tried the plain one, one with the hiling powdered sugar, custard and coconut filling. Both the fillings c were too thick for me, and lacked flavor. The plain ones though were yummy

It's a must if you're looking for local bakery flavor. There's nothing like it anywhere.

Malasadas are like donuts but better because you get the extra carb that a donut lacks. They are generously-sized balls of dough that are fried until it's golden brown on the outside and light & fluffy on the inside. The original one is coated with sugar, but you have the option to coat with cinnamon sugar or li hing; plus you can get it stuffed with with custard, chocolate, and haupia.The best part is how convenient the truck is if you live in Kaneohe and the freshness, as they do fry the dough as ordered. Do your tummy a favor and just order one of each, although I do recommend the original and custard malasadas! Mahalo

I wish I knew their hours...but then again, maybe it's good that I don't know!Sometimes this Food Truck is at the parking lot of Windward Mall at the corner of Haiku Road and Kamehameha Highway in Kaneohe (the Windward side of Oahu)...and sometimes it's not there. For sure, the truck is here for Fat Tuesday, also known as Mardi Gras (the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the start of Lent). It has the same quality malasadas as the original location on Kapahulu Avenue in Honolulu.I like Leonard's malasadas (Portuguese doughnuts) better than the competition because these are light and fluffy when they are hot and fresh. It's best to be eaten right away when the sugar isn't melted yet. That crisp, brown outer layer and the warm, soft inner goodness doesn't have the yeasty flavor like the competition. I noticed that the taste is consistent and doesn't have the oily feel like other malasadas.Recently, Dear Daniel, my lunch buddy, brought a dozen Leonard's malasadas to our UYE picnic at the beach. I gobbled one up right away! There were 6 left at the end of the event, so I scored and took them home! I warmed three of them up in the microwave for about 10 seconds...almost as good as fresh, but still YUM!! That was my breakfast! I took the remaining 3 to work. My coworker had one and I had two - YAY for me! haha! That's how good they are! Yesterday - I saw the truck right after I bought a quart of gelato at the supermarket. ARG! I let the gelato melt in the car while I feasted on 2 of those hot & fresh malasadas in the parking lot! They didn't even make it home!! Haha!Every time I see this Food Truck, I want to stop by and get a malasada... but I know that I shouldn't because one is not enough... you know what I'm talking about! The truck doesn't have the Flavor of the Day filling, but they do have Custard, Dobash (chocolate), and Haupia (coconut) filled ones for $1.65 plus tax. The Original, Li Hing, and Cinnamon flavored ones are currently $1.25 each plus tax. These are rolled in sugar. The filled ones are injected with pudding. To me, the Original ones are the best!So - if you haven't had one yet, go get one (or 2)! There's also a Malasadamobile at the Waikele Outlet. For regular hours (but limited parking), go to the shop at Kapahulu Avenue. YUM YUM!!!
