This is the only signage to show you where the place is on Ualena St. by the airport. It's across the street from the whale building.
James L.

Never mind standing in the lines at the food truck! Go to the bakery where they make it! It's by the airport across the street from the whale building! See the map! They're open from 7 AM to 12 PM every day seven days a week! You will miss it. They're not very large signs. But look for the green letters on a small sign across the street from The whale building, Ewa of Jolene's. It's not really set up as a store, but they will sell you the bread right there! Just ring the bell if the door is closed. They take cash and card! I worked in the area for years and never knew they had a store there!

Five stars. The food, their bread is just plain ono!! The variety of other flavors they have is just simply mind-blowing. So delicious! Their service is excellent. They're now inside of Pearlridge next to the escalators, Uptown side. Always friendly and super helpful. The ambiance is cool. A pop up table set up next to the escalators. Low overhead cost and pretty much to the point. Highly recommend trying it out. You won't regret!

The truck no longer stops at Triangle park in Kahala nor in Hawaii Kai. Only at Pearlridge and ? Waianae. BUT they now have a kiosk on the ground floor near the center stage, across from the Croc store. Same flavors and specials. They now sell mini size too ($10). Still soft and yummy!

Molokai Breads are very soft and huge! The filling in it is perfect ratio to the bread and all are tasty good. They have so many filling choices to choose from, strawberry and cream cheese, blueberry and cream cheese, cinnamon and cream cheese, cinnamon and butter, and ube cheesecake. Each month, they have a special filling. This month, November, their special is pumpkin. They are usually at the Windward Mall's farmer's market on Wednesdays and Sundays. They are always sold out! The sellers are so nice and friendly. Being in the mall, there can be crowds at their stall so head to them first!

Strawberry Guava mini
Lily F.

Per their Instagram page, they posted that there is a kiosk near Ala Moana Center, Street Level 1, near center stage. Hours are from 10:00 am.I finally made it and met an employee. Per employee, bakery is owned by George Kanemitsu and their Oahu bakery location. There are plain $8.00, mini flavored $10.00, and regular flavor $15.00. 6 flavors to choose from. On both side of cart, bread was displayed in an organized manner. My purchase was mini strawberry guava. When I got home, I tasted the bread which was soft, light, and sweet from strawberry guava and ate half. I plan to come again for regular.

Guava Cream - Amazing
Sarah N.

Since I have yet to have this fresh, I can't give a full, fair review. I got me a taste of this Guava Cream Molokai Hot Bread as a gift from my neighbor... man, I literally ate 75% of the entire loaf... BY MYSELF! **Yikes!** haha! But it's THAT good!! The bread itself was soft and fluffy, while the cream filling was sweet and tart from the guava jelly with cream cheese spread. Perfect for when you have the munchies!!

Originally only available on the island of Molokai, Molokai Hot Bread is a cute little food truck that gives folks on Oahu a chance to enjoy this incredible bread. They're at a different location all over the island each day and we heard they often sell out quickly. After missing them one day of our trip, we made the trip out to Waipahu extra early to make sure we caught them before our trip was over. They have a lot of delicious flavors, but I absolutely loved the Ube Cheese Cream. The bread has a 2 day shelf life before you have to refrigerate it. You can even bring it back with you and freeze it to enjoy at a later time. If you freeze it, throw it in an air fryer at 250 degrees for 10 minutes and it'll be good as fresh! Hands down one of the best things we got on the island and wish they were closer so we can get more! - -- -- - Ube Cheese Cream Cinnamon & Cream Cheese Strawberry & Cream Cheese

Truck is parked along Lanakila park every Fridays. I've tried the blueberry cream cheese, Lilikoi, ube, and cinnamon. Love them all, including the plain. I love that there are no preservatives, but we usually consume it within hours of bringing it home. The texture of the bread is awesome; recipe hasn't change. We eat it plain or lightly toasted. Love that we get now get fresh Molokai bread on Oahu. Support local businesses, folks.

Strawberry guava bread, dry bread.

Their bread used to be really good like soft and chewy type good. Not sure what happened but it seems like the way they bake their bread has changed, it's more dry and flaky on the inside. I thought ok maybe this batch is just a "bad batch" so I gave it another try went back another week to get more, again bread was very dry. I told myself, I don't think I want to try it again. Months came and I decided let me try again, again their bread was dry! I've come to the realization that this is how their product is just is! I honestly miss how it was a couple years ago very chewy and enjoyable to eat. The filling is still good but they don't put as much in the bread as before. I get it they're probably more busy now which is probably why they lack the quality of their bread these days. I hope they take this as an eye opener.

HO! If you like bread.... Get it! Stand in line in the sun and soak up dat vitamin D. Check their website for times and locations. Huge loaf with your favorite filling right down the middle. Best when hot to slice fo near equal servings of filling. Cuz you know who going get more wen just squeeze and tear off my piece. GMonkey prefer UBE and CINNAMON BUTTER but also have: STRAWBERRY GUAVA BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE COOKIES & CREAM depending on their monthly schedule $8-15 each. From their website: Using original recipe since 1935, Kanemitsu Bakery on Molokai has partnered to bring the world famous "Hot Bread" to Oahu! GMonkey always support Local.

Got our hands on some Molokai hot bread! Wasn't hot when we got um tho....lmao! Nah my wife got these from my nephew, his school was doing a fundraiser so gotta support! We got blueberry and a cinnamon one. Always so good and very ono! No photo of the cinnamon one because we gifted that one to grandma!

Haupia-so ono!
Suanne K.

Fresh, soft bread with fillings galore! Get to the truck early for the best picks! Follow them on instagram to see where they are every weekend. Price varies depending on the fillings, they also have plain, add butter or your own filling!

Where is the Molokai hot bread truck today?

The website is unreachable due to security issues (no https connection) best bet is to call them at (808) 772-8400 to find the current location.

Is it okay to leave it out? or do i put it in the fridge?

I would suggest fridge because of the creamcheese. And also, in the freezer, it lasts for 4 months.

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.

However, the combination of world-class pastries and premium coffee makes the morning queue entirely worth it. Chocolate Banana Almond Croissant (5/5): A standout sweet treat to start the day. The pastry shell is perfectly flaky, buttery, and packed with rich melted chocolate and actual banana chunks in each bite. Black Sesame Kouign Amann (5/5): My absolute favorite of the morning. 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.

Another big plus is that the meat is fresh, unlike a few other places I've visited that only carry frozen options. Bakery: I can't come here without grabbing a sweet treat. They offer a mix of sweet and savory pastries, and honestly, I haven't had a bad one yet. I don't have a single favorite because they've all been consistently good. In my opinion, they're best enjoyed the same day. They also offer seasonal and holiday pre-orders.

I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try.

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). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas.

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. They may wish to consider: 1, Clearly delineating the line for the restaurant from the bakery. It was super busy for both so there was a lot of confusion. 2. Perhaps placing the number machine for the bakery closer to the door? Tourists aren't familiar with the system so it leads to some unnecessary dissatisfaction. 3. 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.
