Manuela Malasada - Ubi, Bavarian and strawberry filled donuts - Donuts Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Great aloha business. Expensive but each malasada is pretty big. There are lots filling options too. Aviento 5 estrellas.

$16 for 3(with filling) kinda pricy. Taste was awesome Untill we discovered 2 of the 3 had short black hair in the filling. Told owner, super nice and offered to make more. read more

The malasadas were very warm and delicious. The line to order wasn't long but it takes 10 minutes or so for the malasadas to be filled up and made so don't expect quick service. I didn't mind the wait at all since it's something warm and delicious to eat. There is seating in the area if you want to sit down. I will definitely be back again. read more

Love love love Manuela Malasada. I had a craving and li hing malasada hot the spot. Ate the last one several hours later and it was still wonderful! Thank you Johnny. Hit the spot! read more

We've tried lots of malasadas from small bakeries to well known establishments like Leonard's and Manuela's might be my favorite! The flavor and consistency of the dough itself is enough to get my 5 stars alone. Throw in the perfect amount of slight crispiness right before your teeth sink into the dough and it's just perfect. We ordered 6 flavors- lilikoi, guava, peach/pineapple, Bavarian cream, Ube cheesecake and chocolate haupia. Likikoi and Ube cheesecake were our favorites, though all were really tasty. We're all in agreement that we're even interested in trying the malasadas without filling and even without sugar coating. That's how much the dough stands out as being dense enough to chew, but light enough that you're not chewing forever. Glad this food truck is around! read more

So so excited for warm fresh malasadas in Maui! We're a huge fan of Leonards in Oahu and we've had Manuela on the Big Island so we were so thrilled to find Manuela by Costco!!! Bring cash. They are super super nice and accomodating with recommendations on guava filling when I was indecisive. Hawaii trip doesnt feel complete without fresh malasadas so yayyyyyyy! read more

Worth the wait! Opened at 10am and was sold out by 11am. Get them fresh and hot. This is a small stand outside the phillips 76 gas station. There is a small bench but prepare to wait in line to order and about 15 minutes to prepare. Donuts made hot and fresh. We ordered a half dozen in a variety of flavors. read more

I drove by around 11:30am and there was no one at the cart so I decided to stop and try them. They're made to order, I waited 10-15 minutes which isn't bad at all for 6 hot malasadas, all different flavors. I did mango cheesecake (special flavor), ube, lilikoi, raspberry, coconut, and li hing sugared. They were pretty dense and the fillings weren't that great. The mango cheesecake and ube were pretty good but the others weren't. The coconut was very runny. They're best still warm too. Once cooled down they aren't that grey either. I give them major props for doing them fresh made to order though. read more

Manuela Malasada - Donuts Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

If Yelp did half stars, I would give this place more of a 3.5 stars. I visited just after they opened on a weekday morning and there was only 1 other person waiting for their order. They are made to order, so after I ordered it took about 15 mins before they were ready as there is only one gal working in the stand. Just something to think about if you're in a hurry and if the line is longer.. we came here for a quick 'breakfast' to hold us over on our way to a tour we booked, so luckily we had given ourselves some extra time. I went with a half a dozen and filled 4 of them, bringing my total to $20. At first I felt that was a little pricey, but when you think about it, that comes out to just around $3 each, and if you visit a cafe or bakery most pastries run $2-4 individually. We definitely could've done with about 3 as they were actually much larger than I anticipated... the photos I saw online almost made them look mini/bite sized, but they are about the size of a standard boston cream donut if I had to compare sizing. I enjoyed the filled ones more than the non filled, and they definitely taste best fresh right after they've cooled down a little. I will echo what a couple others have said is that they were pretty dense and I expected them to be a little lighter.. I also found the dough by itself to taste a little bland with an old flying oil taste.. so that's my main reason for only wanting to give it 3.5 stars. read more

Holy moly, the most delicious thing eaten in a long time. It's a food truck to be clear, and you'll likely wait because it's made FRESH. And warm, fresh and delicious they are! I'm not even big on donuts but these are just to die for. read more

Don't miss these donuts! I wasn't sure if it was a ho hum tourist spot until I saw some locals loading up. There's a million flavor combos but I played it safe with the classics. I got six donuts to share with my family but ate three on the ride home. The guy working was super cool even while handling four other orders and patiently helped me with my first malasada experience. I'll be back tomorrow! read more

Manuela Malasada - Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

The minimum is three for $9, to add filling it's $2 each. We got the peanut butter, (taste like jiffy peanut), cinnamon crunch, and their most recommended flavor Bavarian cream. Seriously, would not recommend coming here. The entire malasada is just dough. Was so disappointed as the filling which we paid for is just on top and it's not spread evenly. read more

Amazing Malaysia's made fresh to order from an unassuming food shack in a gas station parking lot. Offers the ability to custom order sugar toppings and filling types. Don't sleep on a guava filled malasada covered in li hing sugar, it's amazing! These malasadas are best eaten fresh while they are still warm, but they'll do more than fine the next morning as well. read more

The malasadas were fantastic! I prefer the coconut flavor. I tried the Ube cheesecake and would Definitely recommend it. The Boston cream tasted more like banana but they were still good. The nice lady working in the stand was very kind and helpful and even recommended fun things for the kids to do while in the area. My only problems with the stand were the high cost and that they didn't take credit card. Otherwise they were great! read more

We had been driving past this cute little donut food truck in the past 4 days and the last days they were either closed or sold out, luckily today we were lucky and got to try some. We got an order of three and you will wait like 8 mins or so as they are made as you order them so they are nice and hot. We got one of today's special cheesecake plus two regular ones filled with mango and guava. This Hawaiian donuts are delicious and I can see why they are so popular and were featured on HGTV. read more

Manuela Malasada - Donuts Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

A little Donut truck on the corner of the 76 Gas Station lot, we were looking forward to trying the Donuts and they were fantastic! A little messy to eat so have napkins by your side. These are made fresh to order. They come in orders of 3,6 etc. 3 was plenty for my wife and I. You can mix and match the type of sugar and the filling choices. If you like donuts then it's a must visit. read more

Delicious! Hot, fresh donuts that you can get plain or filled with your favorite filling. We got the plain with sugar, and they were served fresh out of the fryer so we devoured them while they were hot! Reminded me of beignets with regular sugar instead of powdered. read more

Omg! Be careful because these babies can send you into a coma! They are dangerously good!! We had no idea how big they were so we ordered 12 lol we didn't realize that you pay per filling of each donut. We order powdered sugar plain, powdered sugar with Nutella, and cinnamon with une flavor. They came out pipping hot and delicious!! My advice is order 6 max maybe get two filled and you can use those filling for the rest because they are packed!! This place was amazing though. read more

GREAT service and SO yummy!!! Ube cheesecake, haupia and Kona coffee... delicious! Mahalo :)

Perfect malasadas. The Lilikoi cream cheese filling was delectable. My daughter loved her Nutella filled one. They cook them fresh so definitely need to wait a little but it's worth it Would return! read more

Oh my GOD these things were good! Couldn't just choose a few combinations so we had to get a dozen. They're huge! Outside is crisp, inside is soft and they stay hot for a while! Some of the fillings were a bit thicker than we had anticipated but I almost liked it better! Banana crème pie was probably my least favorite of all the fillings, but I can't possibly choose a favorite. Guava, lilikoi, cookie butter, all were perfection. If you're in the area, this is a must! Go earlier rather than later. They are also short staffed, so be patient since the person who takes your order is also the person who makes it. Delicious! read more

Yeah this is the best donut I've ever had! Adding filling costs a dollar extra but its worth it. My favorite fillings are the Bavarian cream, Guava, and Nutella. These donuts are denser than most so if you don't like it try Krispy Kream, where donuts have no substance. read more

This is no longer open or located here April 2023 on a Saturday morning, 830 am and again Sunday at 1030 am. The 76 gas station it was reported to be in the same parking lot as is closed too. No signs for it anymore. We happened to stumble upon it, in the Costco parking lot by the airport Saturday afternoon. Maybe it travels around or has otherwise changed locations. read more

Amazing service! Sooo good, hot and fresh. You can custom mKe your own jelly filled donuts. My friend got the flavors, i orefer classic sugar fresh plain donuts.

Fresh and delicious and made to order! Best Malasadas on the island! Owners are kind and friendly! Highly recommend!

Saw this truck and had to get some Malasadas. They were having some issues with the fryer so I waited a few minutes and then she took my order and said it would be 15 minutes - sadly it took a total of an hour maybe more and all I purchased was 3 Malasadas. There was a guy who had ordered after me and there were 2 others in front of me but that guy got his order before all of us?? It was ok but definitely not anything near Leonard's - the dough is way more thicker read more

Manuela Malasada - Haupia, ube cheesecake, and lilikoi malasadas - Donuts Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Manuela's Malasadas were my first Malasada experience, so I can't compare to the other Malasada places, but I will say that they were dang GOOD compared to doughnuts. We got them Plain Sugar Coated w/ no filling, haupia filling & lillikoi filling I'd just warn that the Haupia is more of a liquidy filling? Kind of like coconut oil, I had expected it to be more of a cream like the haupia pie at McDonald's. But it was just like an extra moist donut with a coconut end. Also, since Yelp doesn't have their work hours updated, we weren't sure when they opened. The lady said they open at 8:30AM....but that's more of an estimate... When we showed up, we had to wait 30 minutes because they were on break...I think they were making more donuts elsewhere because nobody was inside the stand. We left to get coffee and came back... but it was worth coming back, 'cuz the Malasadas were HOT n FRESH. Btw, if you want good coffee nearby to pair with your malasadas, try Drift Coffee a couple blocks away. read more
