Almost Missed Out on Leonard's Bakery -- So Glad I Didn't!…read more During my trip to Oahu, I passed by Leonard's Bakery on my second day and noticed a really long line, so I decided to skip it. Honestly, I wasn't even planning to come back! But on my very last day in Hawaii, my friend took me there, and I'm so glad I finally gave it a try! We arrived around 10:30 AM, and surprisingly, there wasn't much of a line! I waited less than three minutes before placing my order. Since it was my first visit, I ordered half a dozen malasadas, choosing one of each available flavor. The atmosphere was simple and casual, and the ordering process was quick and straightforward. After ordering inside, I waited outside for my order to be called at the pickup window. And let me tell you, those freshly made, hot malasadas were absolutely delicious! They were so fresh and warm, and I loved every bite. Definitely worth stopping by! My advice: The lines can vary! On my second day, the line was extremely long, but on my last day, I barely waited. You might get lucky, or you might need some patience. Either way, I recommend giving them a try! I'm so glad I didn't leave Hawaii without experiencing Leonard's Bakery. It was a wonderful way to end my vacation, and I'll definitely be returning on my next trip to Oahu! Overall experience: 5/5

Soft and crisp malasadas!…read more We got the filled donuts with macadamia nut filling and guava filling. I was not the biggest fan of either of those fillings, but the dough itself was pretty good! It wasn't too sweet and I thought the flavor was overall nice on the dough. They seemed freshly made! Service was fairly quick! We ordered inside and then picked up the donuts outside.

Dash For Da Donuts #11- spontaneous edition. We Did It!…read more The Dash made it for 2026, a last minute, "hey we didn't do it yet" to keep the streak alive. Bought some of their soft delights met with some Yelp Elite "King Pins" from the Yelp community- Nadine, Kim and Roz Spontaneous, because this was a spur of the moment celebration of a long running event of the donut community that was added to a meet up with one of the original dash participants 11 years ago that lives on the mainland. Donut King has hosted our dash multiple times over the years- we plan to do a more "formal" uye dash Nov or Dec to coincide with their Hawaii founding and 10th anniversary. Be on the look out and see you there.

I didn't give a perfect 5 stars because : Banana bread latte was terrible. I don't know if the syrup they were using was old or maybe I got a new barista but for $8, I was super disappointed! Holey Grail is cashless ... that wouldn't bother everyone but I always want to pay cash for smaller purchases because of the fees most small businesses pass on to the customer. I did not see a sign that said the customer would get the 3.5 % fee but using cash is a personal preference. Also there is no discount for ordering more donuts unless it's 9 or more. So one donut is $4.50 and a 4pk is $18. Then the discount kicks in for a 9pk which is $36. I think the way it's listed on the menu is kinda confusing. Anyway great quality donuts, cool concept and nice merch available. Come check it out.

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!

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

We tried just about everything on the menu and not only was every bite of food incredibly fresh, but it was made well and consistently delicious each day we had it. The coffee was also very good, and the addition of the macadamia nut syrup enhanced the donut shop style blend very well. The staff was also very friendly, and very quick with getting orders together including getting coffee out and breakfast sandwiches (not pictured but one person in my travel party did get a sausage and egg croissant sandwich, which they said was very tasty). All in all, a great change of pace if you're looking for fresh, consistent and delicious donuts with a side of great service (it's also right down the street from a GORGEOUS spot that you can then bring your donuts and coffee and enjoy. Highly recommend) P.S.: I've seen some reviews saying they had a line when they visited, however that was not my experience on this trip. This place DESERVES to have a line every day, I would say run, don't walk here because it's that good.

I and my fellow colleagues frequent this perfectly hidden Gem buying dozens of Donuts for the team these past 6 years. Prior to that I would visit this shop on my own going to and returning from work as a daily regime. This place was very much loved by everyone you passed by in and out of this business. Donuts, Bear claws, Cinnamon rolls and so much more. Such a sad sad loss that this family owned business is no longer with us.

I enjoyed the loco moco at the Kuakini location a while back, so I wanted to try it again here. Whereas the original coffee shop was counter service, here on the third floor of the International Market Place there was a lot of seating capacity. I waited outside for its 7 am opening, but it took them a few minutes after that before they welcomed us in. I was among the first to be seated. I ordered the loco moco sunny-side up and a coffee. The coffee and grilled butter roll arrived first. The loco moco several minutes after that. I had heard that the loco moco wasn't grilled the same way as at the original location, but it looked and tasted about the same. The food was as good, but the atmosphere was way different - not necessarily better or worse. I think I prefer Kuakini because there you have a close-up view of the food being made.
