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. Twinsie "Auntie" Nadine C. dragged me here, told me where to take the Instagram shot, and the correct stance to tear into these pillowy fried dough balls. Yum.

There's about 6 spots available but it's also a tight squeeze in so I would consider parking along the side streets and walking over if possible. My group and I opted for 6 total malasadas to share and they tasted great when they're hot so best to eat it while it's fresh. We ate more after dinner when it's already cooled down and it was still good, but nothing beats fresh. Service was efficient and the line moves pretty quick.

The hot single is a classic and still my favorite. It's simple but so good, especially when it's fresh and warm. The strawberry fields and lilikoi were both really flavorful, and the chocolate crunch had the perfect texture. They still taste great even after cooling down at home, but they're definitely on another level when you eat them fresh. The service is always really good, and there's plenty of seating, which makes it easy to hang out and enjoy your donuts. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to when I'm in the area!

    I was down on that side of town and had a hankering for Holy Grail Donuts. If you've never been,…read moreyou're missing out. I don't really have a sweet tooth-I'm a no icing, no frosting kind of girl. I wouldn't dream of eating a cinnamon roll with icing, that's a no for me. But their donuts are delicious all the same and can definitely scratch the itch if you do have a sweet tooth. As someone who's vegan, it can be hard to find a dessert I actually feel good about, and this is one of those places. Everything is taro-based and cooked in coconut oil, which I really appreciate. Just a heads up-all of their donuts are taro donuts. The flavors come from the toppings, so if you see something like a strawberry one, the donut itself isn't strawberry--it's the topping. Their offerings change, ( they do have their core donuts that don't change-and I usually go for one "naked"--no glaze. Sometimes I'll get the honey and sea salt one. Right now they have a seasonal donut called Black Sabbath that's black sesame, brûléed banana. Every time I've been in, I'm greeted right away, and there's plenty of free parking. They get your order out super quick. If you don't want a whole donut--or you're eating in your car and don't want to make a mess--their little donuts called Holeys are the perfect pop-in-your-mouth option. The place has always be well kept and clean - and they have a very spacious, and equally as clean, bathroom. They also have an app where you can check the menu, keep track of your rewards, and manage gift cards, which makes it really convenient. Also, if you're not signed up for their rewards program, do it. You're basically passing up free donuts if you don't. Give them a go, share your experience and if your taste buds celebrated. SYOY!

I loved donuts (especially apple fritters), so like a moth to a flame, I was pulled in to scratch that itch and soothe my curiosity. Founded in 2018 by Nicholas Cornford and Brian Zabian, through trial and error, they perfected their one-of-a-kind donut experience... a mix of music, vibrant visuals, personal customer service, fresh-to-order products, and memorable donut names. Would I shower their donut shop with praise, or would I feel a bit dirty and pervy!? PURCHASE(S) Na-Na-Nut Buster Donut ($3.25): Haupia glaze lei'd with macadamia nuts and a chocolate banana drizzle, the haupia was a bit faint, the macadamia nuts were plentiful, and the chocolate banana drizzle was aromatic and flavorful. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=J1RzbO29Oda8hgUFHIxzeA The "Jimbo" Donut ($3.25): Cinnamon sugar pounded into a caramel apple pie, this was the closest to an apple fritter, so I had to try it. Although it wasn't quite like a fritter, each ingredient stood out and paired well together. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=8q6KJoSr8Tq9iH0mhnARFw Unicorn Butt Sneeze Donut ($3.25): Lemon glaze butt sneezed with Fruity Pebbles, this was a crunchy lemony sweet mess from start to finish, and I loved it! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=KZWyOnAVf7H46uf5BRQnMA Brion Crying Sticker ($3.00): Simply cute! Purvé Logo Sticker ($3.00): I loved stickers and usually stuck them on the walls of other establishments, usually breweries. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=b90JRXfTPWMOcempMQEgWw Ladies Small Unicorn Pooping Donuts Tanktop ($25.00): I wished they had this graphic in an adult t-shirt! Alas, I bought this for a friend who wore it often and proudly! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=VRQTy9xdmynya4VwHYJm2w It's OK Cause It's Your Dog Peanut Butter Glaze Raspberry Drizzle Donut ($3.25): Peanut butter glaze soaked with raspberry slobber, this was a peanut butter's fan's wet dream... and probably a dog's too, if it was safe for them to eat! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=euoKuHhYXNFJUvTvT2pyaQ "Weekly D" Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter Glaze & Oreo Donut ($3.25): This weekly mystery donut was a combination of my two favorite cookies while the butter glaze was cavity-creating sweet and thick! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=7JZ3P0ozys95783u1SZFcQ SERVICE Greeted by a friendly young man behind the counter, he gave me some background about who they were, what they did, and explained some of the options. After I absorbed it all in and studied the choices, I placed my order, watched them craft each selection, and minutes later, my order was beautifully packed and ready for consumption. Everything was short and sweet which was all I needed - mahalo! PARKING (FREE) Located within the Ku'ono Marketplace outdoor shopping center, they shared a medium but tight parking lot with several businesses such as J. Dolan's, KAHALA MKT. by Foodland, Wholesale Unlimited Express, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and more, finding a spot could be difficult (I found a spot). Otherwise, I didn't believe there was any parking available along the main drag on Wai'alae Ave. (Lunalilo Freeway) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A spacious layout with a donut display bar somewhat in the middle of everything, a large counter area where you placed your order and was able to watch your donut get crafted, a small merchandise section close to the entrance, and you were smacked with colorful murals https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=fZNVWtPpm4ccs__LrXjwyA that surrounded you. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front wall windows and doors while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=g1zkn1bB8Ev8ObCNYLymYg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I had fun at Purvé Donut Shop, and would love to eventually try all of the different creations. Each donut was unique in flavor and style, was a pleasure to devour, and it was easy to eat more than one. The prices were comparable with other decorative ones I've had, and the service was calming and welcoming. Plus, it was always a pleasure to support a mom & pop small business. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $50.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STAR

Halfway through the box I was already mad at myself. Who buys 6?? That's not a quantity, that's a warm-up. Should've got 12 and saved myself the emotional damage. Only reason it's not a 5/5 is because now I'm sitting here donutless, thinking about going back like a man with unfinished business. Next time I'm letting the fat kid make all the decisions

So on this morning, when we had some free time, we decided to stop. The shop itself is rather small, with a couple of large display cases filled with donuts and a few small tables tucked into the corner. For my pastry on this morning, I chose the coconut croissant donut. From the time I stood in line until I was out the door was less than 5 minutes. My donut here ended up being quite good as it was light and you could really see the lamination in it. The coconut flakes on top added a nice flavor. The sticky glaze was fantastic as it reminded me of caramel and helped keep the coconut from falling off. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future.

During our recent trip to Waikiki, we set out on foot with the sun to see what we could see. The quixotic blend of homelessness in front of the Fendi store really drove home the duality of this place. But that's also a different review... As for Donut King, he may well be the actual Monarch of Fried Dough. A delectable selection of fresh donuts, still warm inside on a couple of them, and melt-in-your-mouth soft. My usual chocolate old fashioned was particularly good here... is that a hint of coconut oil? Or did I just have a little Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen on my fingers before I ate? No one knows. And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that this place is a cool little donut shop that made me feel like a local when I walked in. Service with a smile, regular ol' donut prices instead of weird designer pastry mark-ups, and plenty of Aloha. Worth the trouble of trying to find parking, but even better if you're on foot, and can walk off that little bit of sweetness.
