    One single haupia malasada, hot and fresh
    Son C.

    Leonards famous malasadas in Waipahu. Hot fresh and so good without the lines like Honolulu. Quick mobile truck in outside ambiance

    cinnamon malasadas

    got two boxes of malasadas for a coworkers birthday. We got the regular sugar and the cinnamon sugar. I've always grown up eating the regular sugar so I was a little skeptical about the cinnamon, but it was really good and it's always best fresh, but if there was extra, I just heat it up in the microwave for about 30 seconds for breakfast the next day and it was delicious. Highly recommended.

    This particular Leonard's Bakery food truck only takes card (apple pay included). Please be patient because they're taking orders while making your malasadas fresh.

    Delicious and open at 8am! Perfect local breakfast stop on our way back from the airport. They fry them fresh after you order. We will be back!

    On our 4 day trip to Hawaii, we had Leonard's a total of 4 times! Nothing beats a hot, fresh malasada with a cup of coffee. This is a MUST HAVE if you are visiting Hawaii, as anything on the mainland could never compare. The service was quick and friendly, and the quality never disappoints. After trying all the flavors, I would most definitely recommend the Cinnamon and the Macadamia Nut Filled, but might as well try them all while you're here!

    Leonard's is popular for a reason. The donuts here are fresh and delicious. We tried the coconut and custard flavors, both were really decadent and filling. I think most donuts are best fresh and if you don't have them warm they probably won't be as good, which is where Leonard's shines. They make them fresh, I don't know if there's much to improve.

    Make sure to check if it's burnt, before leaving.

    Check it your box before leaving. Make sure it ain't burnt. 45 dollars worth in the trash...sad

    Leonards is a local fixture for a reason. My bf and I got a half dozen of the following: Coconut Cinnamon Original Custard Macadamia Guava I am not typically someone who will wait in lines but this one is worth the wait. It honestly moves fast too. Do not let the lines or parking deter you. It will be worth it when you are enjoying a nice & warm malasada. Our favorites were the cinnamon and original.

    We tried Leonard's malasadas in macadamia and custard flavors: sweet, soft, and such a fun local treat. While they're super popular in Hawaii, malasadas actually come from Portugal, and I grew up eating them in Brazil where they're called "Dreams." Tasting them here brought back so many memories, and Leonard's definitely makes them worth the stop.

    Custard Filling.... So good
    Sarah N.

    I love Leonard's even tho it's not good for me lol... my go-to are the original and custard filled Malasada. I appreciate this food truck location being way more laid back than the Kapahulu brick & mortar. It's hard to stand and wait when you can smell the fried goodness in the air! Haha it's funny how once I catch the smell, I need it all of a sudden! Yesterday, the service was friendly and we got our order in right as they were frying up a new batch. Yum, yum, yum! Malasadas are best when eaten hot & fresh. Make sure to stand outside the car to avoid leaving a sugary mess! This Waikele location always provides plenty of napkins, so even that is a plus in my book. Thanks, Leonard's! :)

    Half dozen of original malasadas
    Lyn C.

    Always a must to get whenever we're back in Hawaii!!! The malasadas at Leonard's are hot, fluffy, and perfectly coated with sugary goodness. They're so addicting that we always have to eat more than one. You can choose for various types of malasadas including their original (which is sugar coated), cinnamon, or li hing. You can even get malasadas with fillings like custard, Haupia and chocolate. Every single one is good but we always like to get the original. They're so good!! This location is also convenient for us since we live on this side of town. We like how it's not crowded and the service is always friendly and super quick. Easy parking is a huge plus too. I highly recommend!!

    Has anyone had experience taking these on a plane? (To Los Angeles) How to store them? Lol Are they even allowed? 🤷🏻‍♀️?

    You can carry them on. Not sure how far you are flying them. If really far, a few secs in micro or maybe air fryer to reheat unless you don't mind them cold...

    Any special orders to take back home?

    Regular and my person fav.. Dobash!

    Are there any butter/milk in the Malasadas? Any dairy free options?

    Both milk and butter; no dairy-free option. Maybe one of the vegan cafes on island might have something suitable?

    I only like fresh. Do they cook them in truck? Or best to go to the main store?

    Yes, it's cooked hot and fresh at this location.

Love that they put the spice level beside each item for a heads up the staff here is nice and as they were more flooded with orders than I realized as they do take phone orders it did take a bit for my order. Since I was dining right there among the bench it didn't need to be separated and loved that it was served on a tray along with a side of kimchee yum the ramyun had a soft cooked egg and some carrots a nice and simple snack which gave me much needed boost though as it was basically no different than a bowl of instant noodle this was crazy overpriced and glad that I didn't get the soft tofu which was $13.50 which I didn't need that type of spice in my life.

The chicken was crispy and juicy and the pork was tender. The meatballs were a little salty with the sauce, but just eat a lot of rice! The moko isn't a patty, it's just their meatballs.

I liked the chewy Noodles, but I prefer a more savory sauce - I'm sure I could have asked to change sauce if I knew. Note: Ketchup at home helped a lot! The pork Chops were delicious and tender! Corn was a nice side, along with two scoops of rice. Service was okay. I asked what "Mops" stood for - it's slang for "eating". The cashier made an eating motion... LOL!

It was sure good to be back, and I am happy for their business to have its own place where customers can sit, not just takeout. They are now located near West Loch station by Mickey D's and Seafood City [the shops West Loch station). I live in Honolulu but it was sure worth it to take the rail to satisfy my sisig craving. I ordered their pork sisig with rice, and it sure was still delish! Pro tip for the business is using calamansi instead of lemon (but still good!). My order seems like it is for just one person but honestly, if you share it with another person, you'd still be satisfied because it is stomach-heavy! If you didn't have much to eat throughout the day, you could easily demolish the sisig dish I ordered. For drinks, they have canned sodas inside for $2.00 but I decided to get some smoothies at Hang's just doors down the place. As the parking spot may fill up, you can always drop a buddy off to pick up some to-go order. I have yet to try some of their other dishes such as their beef pares noodles. So--if you are craving ramen--try switching it up and get some of their noodles! I also recommend getting bulk orders for parties! Mahalo and I hope this business continues to reap success!

I ordered their pork sisig with egg which cost me about $23 including tip. I'd say it was worth the cost given the portion size and the deliciousness of the pork sisig. The one thing I did not like was the Rice my plate came with. It was very wet and mushy which sucked because it killed the enjoyment of the pork sisig for me. Also, service from the cashier was not very friendly when I asked her a question, maybe she was not having a good morning. Idk. Anyways aside from that, everything else was good. Location is easy to get too, lots of convenient parking outside and dining area was very clean and up to date trendy. I do have plans to return to try their beef pares! That looks Ono too. Hope I get a better experience next time. It wasn't that bad of an experience, so I'd still recommend this place to friends and family because their pork sisig was delicious! Make sure to squeeze the lemon on top gives it extra flavor.

But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE.
