    Food Truck
    Lynn H.

    Absolutely amazing. Stopped here for a pick me up snack. Donuts were so soft and fluffy and made fresh. We got them pretty quick and they were pipping hot. Best stop ever. We started with 4 donuts to try: Orignal, Cinammon, Li Hing, and the Chocolate filling. We inhaled the donuts in the car and came back for more Got the coconut to try, another one of the cinnamon and the Li Hing. They also had the custard filling that we haven't gotten round to yet. Our favorites were the Li Hing and the Cinammon flavor. The chocolate filling was pretty good too. It leaned more towards a dark chocolate flavor, so not too sweet which is great. Obviously we came back for round 2. Might stop by for a third round

    Don't have a chance to make it to the bakery, so the food truck had to do. It's located in the middle of a random shopping center parking lot. Took us a bit to find it. It didn't live up to the hype for me, unfortunately. I mean, fried dough is always going to be a treat, but I didn't love it. The original was my favorite of the three. Pillowy, good amount of sugar. The stuffed one was a disappointment. The coconut cream inside wasn't my favorite texture. It was more of a custard/pudding and the flavor tasted artificial in a way. Ben at the food truck you're paying a premium for these. I wonder if it's just aimed for tourists doing the loop and stopping at the lookout points. There's a picnic table if you want to take a quick seat to eat them but majority of people took them to go.

    Leonard's malasadas was on my list of items to try while in Hawaii. I had planned on visiting their brick and mortar, but was pleasantly surprised to find their maladasamobile while driving to and from our hotel. We decided to stop by on our last day, right before hiking the the Koko Crater Trail. To our surprise, there was no line. We ordered one of each of the malasadas puffs: custard, dobash (chocolate), and haupia (coconut). They were $2.45 each. The malasadas came out hot and fresh minutes later. We sat on one of the benches briefly to taste them. The dough was light and airy and all three filling flavors were delicious. I especially enjoyed the dobash and custard. Leonard's is definitely worth a stop!

    This food truck is located in the mall center. Since it's a truck, they only offer malasadas here, even though their main location carries a wider variety of pastries. Service can be a bit slow, especially if there's a line. hey're definitely the best malasadas around and absolutely must be eaten fresh! Sometimes the classic (without filling) is just as good as the more popular filled options. A must-try!

    Good malasadas in a non-descript strip mall. Came here after Hanauma Bay. There's plenty of strip mall parking. Grabbed a few malasadas - think I preferred the filled ones over the originals, but feel the filling gives a little bit of moisture to the malasadas. Would come back!

    Stopped by after a Koko Head hike. The malasadas were amazing! They were freshly fried and piping hot. I liked the ones without filling more - both the original and cinnamon were light, airy, and delicious. I thought the fillings (I tried custard & coconut) could've had more flavor. Parking was easy, and there was a very short line at 8:30am. Service was friendly and extremely fast.

    Leonard's Bakery Food Truck, located in a parking lot of a shopping center. I ordered a regular malasada with sugar and cinnamon, it was soft and delicious! It hits different fresh out the oil and eaten immediately. Light and airy goodness!

    Perfect when they're freshly fried. Went on a rainy day, and there was no line here. If you've never had a malasada before, they're essentially fried doughnuts. Delicious, though a bit doughy to get to the creamy part. They actually travel well (brought some home!)

    I haven't been here in a while, so I'm going to update my review. Their brick and mortar location in Waikiki always has a line. Going to their malasadamobiles are so much easier. They have one here, Pearlridge and Waikele Outlet Mall. I'm not sure if they have one anywhere else. I got four haupia filled malasadas $2.45 each. They also had custard and dobash fillings. They were already made sitting on a rack under a heat lamp. When you get malasadas they're best eaten fresh out of the fryer. If it has been sitting for a while it doesn't hit the same. It was ok, but it's just so much better fresh. It saves time, as it takes a few minutes for them to fry it up. I'd still rather wait a few minutes to get them fresh.

    Ate too much at Hawalea Joe's, but still managed to convince everyone to get some Malasadas since it's our last day before flying back to CA. Warm Malasadas even from a food truck...clean, good service outta this small footprint.

    Food (4/5): Got the chocolate filled pastry and it was solid. Not too sweet and good texture. Service (4/5): No issues and the food came out fast. Ambiance (4/5): Food truck with outdoor tables and chairs nearby.

    Home delivery (NOT by Leonard's!)

    Amazing. Every. Freaking. Time. So much better than any donut you ever had (also because this is not a donut :-) I don't know how they do it, but I'm hooked. Pro tip: don't expect too much of distinct flavor from the custards - there is a little hint of fruit, but mostly just sweet gyuhee goodness!

    How convenient to have a Malasada mobile in Hawaii Kai where we were staying! No braving the lines at the OG store that I grew up going to. And the malasadas have more variety than when I was growing up here too- fillings (haupia, cream an chocolate), and plain sugar, cinnamon sugar and Ling hi Mui sugar. We tried one of each. And came back another day for more.

    Is this truck ever open? Everyday I've been coming to Koko Marina in hopes that the truck will be finally open to buy malasadas. They don't post their hours of operation on the truck or on this Yelp site. Anybody know?

    I went today March 07, 2022, and the sign says 730am-6pm until further notice. Hope that helps.

    Does anyone know the hours of operation?

These fried, sugar-coated dough balls, often filled with custard or haupia, are beloved for their fluffy texture and association with tradition, especially "Malasada Day" (Fat Tuesday). And Leonard's Bakery malasadas are popular in Hawaii because they are served fresh, hot, and fluffy, establishing the Portuguese doughnut as a staple island treat since 1952. Founder Leonard Rego pioneered commercializing them, creating a cult following for the crisp-on-the-outside, doughy-on-the-inside treats. There's nothing like a nice, hot, and fresh malasada. At $2.20 each, there's just no point resisting.

It features a perfectly caramelized, crispy exterior, while the earthy, nutty black sesame filling adds a massive depth of flavor that makes it really unique. Classic Kouign Amann (4/5): Extremely buttery and flaky, almost like a top-tier croissant with a sweet, caramelized crunch. It is a solid classic on its own, though it is easily overshadowed if you try the black sesame version alongside it. Kona Drip Coffee (4/5): Served extremely hot and fresh. This is a very strong, robust, and slightly acidic 100% Kona brew with a clean finish that acts as the perfect contrast to balance out the rich, sweet pastries. Logistics Tip: The line moves at a steady pace, but if you arrive during the peak morning rush, be prepared to wait anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. Seating is tough to come by, so planning to take your pastry box and coffee to go across the street or down to the beach is usually your best bet.

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9).

The butterfish was delicious-perfectly cooked and seasoned. I loved their potato mac salad. The rice and corn complemented the meal well. The guava plantation iced tea was lightly sweetened. Breakfasts were also good here the portions were large; I couldn't finish everything on the plate. Stop by the bakery on the way out for some goodies for later!

    I love the original and Nimitz locations. Love the hectic ambiance and great food and bakery. The…read moreWaikiki location last week just didn't work for me. I'm happy to see a local business thriving but I hope they can improve their customer flow. The baked goods looked as inviting as always but they seemed a day-old or something. The butter horn was hard and not flaky as I've come to expect and the chocolate of the Boston Creme donut wasn't creamy.

The staff had to leave the counter to get coffee - hot or iced. The condiments for the coffee were on the showcase so people had to be in everyone's way to get their sugar and cream. In fact, if you were standing near the door you had to go through people waiting in line back into the establishment to get those items. But, with all this, the two ladies at the counter were remarkably composed and helpful.

    Liliha Bakery - Onion Roll ($2.89) - very rich. Overall savory, but the dough is a bit sweet.
