Leonard's Bakery Malasadamobile

Visited Leonard's Bakery after a hike and it definitely hit the sweet tooth. We ordered a 6 piece box for Malasada Puffs. We ordered 2 of each of Custard, Dobas, and Haupia. In order, my favorite was the Haupia following with the Custard and Dobas. Husband's favorite was the Custard. Be liked the others equally. None of them overly sweet, which was perfect and the filling was throughout the inside of the puff. It wasnt a quick squeeze and done. Overall, I definitely recommend for malasadas!

One of my Uber drivers recommended going to Leonard's to try the malasada, so here I am in front of this food truck. We ordered three different flavors to try out. The Haupia (Coconut) ($2.25) and the Cinnamon Sugar ($1.85) were really good. The Li Hing (Sweet & Spicy) ($1.85) we would have passed on. For sure a great dessert option.Lower rating due to the service itself. The guy we ordered from was more interested in being on his cell phone than taking our order. Was not friendly and the overall interaction he was rude.

We had just hiked Koko Crater and our friend wanted to show us his favorite spot for malasadas - Portuguese styled fried donuts - which are a very popular snack in Hawaii. This spot in particular was located in a shopping center and had the convenience of being a food truck! Easy to order for takeout. There are a few tables to the side to enjoy your treats while they're fresh and hot.There's options to choose either original malasadas with various flavored sugar, and an option to have them with cream filling. Honestly if I got the chance to visit again I'd get the cream filling option, the filling is so light and the donuts are so fluffy! I'm glad I was able to try this popular Hawaiian snack and at Leonard's no less as they're very well known to locals.

After a long, sweaty hike, there's only one thing that can truly restore my energy, hot, fresh malasadas from Leonard's. But my excitement quickly faded when I remembered that Leonard's was out of the way for us - super sad face . As we drove on my husband caught a glimpse of the Leonards malasada truck in the Koko Marina Center parking lot. Omg! We speed over to it, only to find a long line. But in a rare twist of fate, this was actually a win, the line was long enough to keep them open past closing time (score!).I've never had malasadas from this truck before, and I have to say they might actually be better than the Kapahulu location (they seem more fresh). They even have picnic tables to the side to enjoy them right out of the fryer before you head in your way. The guys running the show were so friendly and awesome despite their closing time of 6pm, they kept serving up batch after batch to take care of everyone, sadly we saw them turning people away at around 6:30 pm but gotta applaud their efforts! And the malasadas? Still the same fried, sugary perfection from my childhood... golden brown on the outside, warm, and pillowy goodness on the inside. The original will always be my number one, but the haupia filling? So delicious Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Thank you malasadas gods for making my deep-fried post hike dreams come true.

These Malasadas are legit!Those filled ones, I could easily smell the fragrant coconut and vanilla creams before I tried to pick them up with one hand and nearly broke my wrist they were SO stuffed with deliciousness.Super quick service with a smile!Hot and delicious!We honestly could not have asked for anything more.We went to the truck at Waikele outlet Center.Easy parking and multiple other opportunity for bits and pieces to grab for the day.

If you're going to Hawaii and watch any travel vlogger, you probably heard of Leonard's Malasadas and debated if they are worth standing in line for. You're in luck. You can try with virtually no line by finding one their food trucks. Just Google map it. The malasada, a small, deep fried dough confection, has become integrated into the broad spectrum of "local food." The Portuguese sweet treat was first brought to Hawaii by Portuguese laborers from the Azores and Madeira Islands who came to work in the sugar plantations.Leonard's Bakery has been delighting locals and tourists alike with their delicious Portuguese-style donuts since 1952. The malasadas themselves are, sugar intensive, sweet perfection--crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. If that's not your deal, you can probably skip, but they are worth trying if you've never had one. If you've thought, you know what would make a donut better, more calories, then this is for you. Whether you prefer the classic sugar-coated version or the stuffed Malasada Puffs filled with flavors like guava, coconut, chocolate, and more, there's something for everyone. We usually stick with the original. The staff at Leonard's Malasadas food truck are friendly and accommodating, always ready to help you choose the perfect treat. Plus, the food truck is often parked at convenient locations like shopping centers, making it easy to grab a box of these delectable pastries on the go.

Hawaii's original malasada bakery [Honolulu HI]The Leonard's mobile trucks are a nice option when we couldn't make it to their bakery on Kapahulu Ave. We stopped by the Koko Marina Shopping Center for their delicious hot and fresh malasadas and got one each of the Original, Cinnamon and Li Hing malasadas. There was a line at 9:00a but it went fairly quickly -whew- right after I got in line a whole tour bus parked and lots of tourists got behind me. That same Saturday morning also there happened to be a flash flood warning that alerted our phones. It was raining off and on but, luckily, we were still able to get our malasadas LoL! Yummy pastry dough w/ golden brown crust. Inside is fluffy and light... the Li Hing flavor was new to me (sweet and sour sugar).The truck is located in a shopping center in East Oahu, near Hanauma Bay and Sandy Beach. If you can't get to this one look for their other mobile trucks also at these locations: Waikele Shopping Center, Pearlridge Shopping Center and Windward Mall. Review #3581

Last time we were in Hawaii, the line was wrapped around the block....this round the rain probably kept some people away. I believe my family really enjoyed the malasadas....they were warm, sweet and fresh! They were gone quick. I enjoyed the macadamia cookies mostly. Customer service was great. Glad we got to try them!
