My sister was in town for Thanksgiving and she was craving Leonard's malasadas. There were limited places open so I wasn't sure if they were going to be open. However, as we drove past we saw a man carrying two boxes so I quickly turned inside the parking lot. As we got closer, I realized that they were actually closing and it appeared that the worker was taking some malasadas home. He looked at us as we passed and made a motion for us to stop. I couldn't believe when he asked us if we wanted a box. "Are you sure??" I asked as my hand was already out the window LOL. How could I say no to a box of freshly made malasadas?? I couldn't believe the generosity of this really kind man. I didn't get a chance to get his name but wow did he make our day! I feel sorry for whoever he was going to share these malasadas with, we really scored! read more

Not easy to find for first timers like us. We were advised by a lady from a boat trip to try Leonard's. The one near our hotel had long lines all through out the day. Tip; it is best to locate trucks like this. We searched and hunted this truck down! And glad we did. We tried almost every flavor with or without filling. Our favorites were the plain, cinnamon and the chocolate filled. Other flavors we got were Bavarian filled, guava ? filled, and sweet and sour which is with sugar and the tamarind crushed candy). They were fresh from the oven and oooooh so good and soft. However they were not as good the following day. The lady and gentlemen were so sweet and kind. read more

We were on the hunt for these, as they are "Hawaii's donut". There is situated in a mall parking lot near the Macy's. They offer sugar coated, li-hing which is like a salty and sugar, and cinnamon and sugar. Then they have filled Malasadas which can be filled with chocolate, a coconut custard, and a vanilla custard. I ordered 2 of each, which I should have ordered chocolate filled because my kids all like Chocolate. To my surprise, there was only 1 chocolate filled. My son bit into all the other ones to find the second one and there wasn't. Needless to say, we still ate them. They are so soft, warm, fluffy, buttery and so worth it! We enjoyed every single bit of it. read more

These malasadas definitely met my expectations and the praise they get from a lot of people! We ate them fresh, so they were so warm, fluffy, and chewy. Truly the best malasadas I had among the ones that I tried on the island! Highly recommend giving them a try. read more

We saw someone at our resort have a box of these and we had to go hunt them down during our trip. We found this location on our way back from Honolulu and only had to wait about 10ish minutes. We got a variety of the flavors but they were all good, especially the cinnamon sugar ones. I definitely recommend eating them as soon as you get them, which was hard bc we ordered too many and had to save them for later. Do not recommend these the next day, they don't taste nearly as good, actually not even close. But I do highly recommend trying them! read more

So glad i got to try their famous malasadas and i loved the classic custard filling ones. Really a must try when you visit hawaii

Best hot! My husband and I like the cinnamon/sugar one best. The custard dominates the flavors, and I think it's best to taste the warm malasada. read more

The convenience of having a Leonard's truck in Kaneohe is wonderful. I don't know why I have never come to the truck before... now I know, just as good as the OG Kapahulu storefront. Except you don't have to worry about parking here! Located in Kaneohe in the Windward Mall parking lot. The truck is pretty much permanently parked on the corner of Kamehameha Hwy & Haiku Rd. The old Macys wing side. I've always been a little hesitant on visiting here since I've heard others say it tastes different. But when I went, tasted just as good! I needed a box to gift to one of my friends. So decided to drop by here. Luckily, there was only one small group in front of me. All the malasadas are made to order, so be ready to wait a little bit. Took about 10 minutes for my dozen to be made. Went with half original and half cinnamon sugar. My car smelled like heaven and my friend was so happy to see the pink box in my hands. read more

Omg...so... delicious. Drop the mic. I'm done. Wait... that's not right. I have to explain how delicious Leonard's Malasadas are so you can be convinced to grab a few. My sis and I arrived in Hawaii yesterday. This was on her list of places to go. We happen to stumble upon by accident at parking lot of a defunct Sears. If you're in the area, you know what I'm talking about. We tried the sugar and Li Hing. What is sugar and sour taste on a Portuguese donut? We had no idea. Sugar one was bomb. It's a enough sweetness on fried dough that you can get you started for more meaning it wasn't too sweet. The Li Hing flavored one was interesting. I didn't taste the sour, but it tastes sweet and salty. I loved it. Today,we can back and got two dobash (chocolate custard filling), one custard filling, one li hing, one cinnamon sugar and one sugar. Dobash's chocolate tastes like Philippine hot chocolate, which is rich and slightly bitter. Custard and cinnamon are yummy too. You can't go wrong with them. In this order, my go-tos are dobash, li hing and sugar. read more

Wait was not bad, parking was reasonable. Pricing was fair and food was great. Essentially a way better donut. Totally worth

The time has come when the malasadas shrank and the cost increased. But only at this site. I believe the other trucks and store still sell the original size. If possible, go to the other Leonard's to get malasadas. More bag for your buck. read more

This is a must stop for a visit to Oahu. They have a good varietypaeticularly at their flagship storefront location.

I prefer the Leonard's Bakery Truck over the store, and I highly recommend swinging by if you're in the area. Quick line, hot and fresh Malasada's, affordable price. read more

Leonard's Bakery - Malasada Truck - Short line, ample parking - Food Trucks Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Not very friendly but I like that we don't have to drive to Waikiki to satisfy the cravings.

Leonard's is a tradition every time we come to Oahu, and especially when we have guests! Our favorite (as well as guests) is the Haupia filled Malasadas! They're to die for! The service is great, there's always a line but they're good at keeping it moving. For weeks after returning to our mainland home and the busy-ness of life, the joke between hubby and I is "Let's go get Malasadas at Leonard's! read more

Wife: Eh! You get sugar all around your mouth. Me: I no care, this Hot Malasada is so Ono! Yup, I licked that sugar around mouth after devouring that big round deep fried sugar bomb. Leonard's Malasada's is something that you'll crave and deceivingly filling. You can order the original or one's with fillings. Whatever is your choice, it's hard not to just eat it hot as soon as you get handed that Pink Box, no forget to take napkins, you'll need it. They have multiple trucks located around the Island also the main location in Kapahulu. This time since we were on Kaneohe we stopped by the truck located on the corner of Kamehameha Hwy and Ha'iku Road Its made to order so be patient because when they call your number on your receipt you'll be rewarded with golden brown sugary bomb! read more

Heard about Leonard's and the malasadas 2 days before we were leaving. Thankfully it wasn't too far of a drive from the Pearl Harbor memorial and so we were able to pick some up and enjoy them in the parking lot before our next adventure. I wasn't sure what to expect but they were tasty and were great to have after we finished at the beach later that day. The staff is used to crowds so they get orders out as quickly as they can. Definitely incorporate this into your visit. read more

Malasadas were burnt. Very large and overcooked. It was given to us so hot we were burned by them. We had to let it rest. They didn't warn us. The regular malasadas mixed with 2 filled that was so hot the middle cream was scorching hot. We waited 8 minutes with no line. Nothing was made and ready to go. Born and raised here and they are usually perfect but not this time. $15 for 8 burnt malasadas. read more

Leonard's Bakery - Food Trucks Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Honestly, the place did not live up to the hype. I've read online and have seen videos of how great this place was, so I gave it a try. I got 1 of each flavor, custard was a 5/10, chocolate was a 2/10, and coconut was a 7/10. Go find a place that contains a filling that doesn't taste like store bought jello The only good part about the Malasadas was the dough and powdered sugar. Service was mid. read more

I don't know if you've seen the lines at Leonard's Kapahulu bakery, but they're INSANE, and it's mostly all tourists who want to get the pic of their malasadas in front of the original bakery. Can't blame them though - I'd probably do the same if I were visiting the island. But if you're like me and just want to indulge on a sugary malasada, head this truck located in the parking lot of Windward Mall (corner of Kamehameha Hwy and Haiku Road. It's way less crowded, and you get the same great malasadas. The regular malasadas are currently $1.35 each and come in three flavors - original, cinnamon, and li hing. My faves are the original and cinnamon, but if this is your first time, you might as well try all three. :D You can also get them filled with either custard, dobash, or haupia. Cash and credit cards are accepted. read more

This place had RAVING reviews from all of our friends. We went here after we hiked Koko Head (so we were starving and needed a treat after that exhausting hike). These "donuts" came out so fast and were so delicious!!! Freshly baked and warm. The cinnamon sugar was our favorite, but the chocolate filled was also good. Lots of bang for the buck here, which is rare in Hawaii! read more

Leonard's Bakery - half dozen of cinnamon sugar, sweet and sour, and chocolate filled - Food Trucks Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Bucket list checked! Last time I was in Honolulu the main bakery was closed. This time I happen to spot the mobile truck as I was heading north. Absolutely lucky cause the lines were short and the malasada were fresh and piping hot. I got the original and I have to say it lives up to the hype. The exterior has a nice crispy crunch. The interior was pillowy, light and fluffy. The simple flavor comes through and with the sugar exterior, it was perfect. The interior was just slightly undercooked cause it was still wet-ish. But I think come here instead of the main bakery if you want to skip all the lines. read more

My boyfriend picked up one of every flavor and brought them back to our place. Sooooo fresh, delicious, and we loved ALLLL the fillings! We got all 5 of the standard fillings and 1 of the seasonal. We split all of them in one day They were too good not to finish! Hot, crispy on the outside. Sweet, fluffy on the inside. I didn't go with him, but he said the line wasn't too bad when he went one morning to pick them up. They station the truck in the parking lot outside of the Windward Mall. Can't wait to be back and eat more soon!!! read more

The quality was poor and the Malasada was small and they also raised their prices. I can see raising price so long as the quality remains the same.The Malasada was old like it was reheated. I return the Malasada and they would not make things right .I tried to communicate to customers service and nothing was resolved. read more

THEY DON'T COOK TO ORDER ANYMORE! The Leonard trucks at Hawaii Kai and Windward mall served me semi warm malasadas. It happened many times now. Everyone knows the way to eat them is right off the fryer, NOT left on the side waiting to be sold. read more

This was recommended as a must have when coming to Hawaii and it did not disappoint. The donuts were made to order and super hot. We ordered a dozen and split them.

Usually I'm not a Leonards person it's not that I don't like them.. it's that the ones in town (kapahulu, Hawaii kai) have such long lines. The Kaneohe one is probably my favorite it's parked in the far corner of windward malls lot nearest the old Macy's. The ladies here are very friendly and the lines aren't long at all. Unlike the bakery in town this truck focuses strictly on the malasadas you have regular (sugar), cinnamon, li hing. The filled options are Dobash, Custard, Haupia. I am a huge fan of the Li hing because I'm not a sweets person so the saltiness of the Li Hing is the perfect contrast to the sweet malasadas. Dare I say this location could be the best but it's just my bias because I get to look at the majestic Ko'olaus as I eat my malasada. read more

Leonard's Malasadas. A must try when visiting the island. We got 2 original, 2 sugar, 2 cinnamon and 2 ling mui. All so good! The truck location didn't have the custard inside but it's okay! Nothing beats a warmly fried dough. Love that the pastry wasn't too sweet, but the size is huge. Also service was friendly and quick. read more

I finally tried the famous Leonard's Malasadas. It was warm and fluffy. We ordered half a dozen (3 cinnamon, 2 original and 1 Li Hing). It was much easier to get it from their Malasadamobil because it had less people waiting. It is located at the Windward Mall Shopping Center; Corner of Haiku Rd and Kamehameha Highway. The Malasadas tasted like a soft Japanese's bread covered with powdered sugar. It was so good that you would want a second one. It wasn't greasy at all. The only drawback was that they had less flavors than their main store. They only had original, cinnamon, Li Hing and 3 others with filling to choose. It was warm, fresh and fluffy. It was a perfect location to stop by after shopping at the indoor farmer market at the Windward Mall. read more

Yep these malasadas are very good went to the food truck one had a little difficulty finding them but once we did wow so good

Fast and delicious! Great treat to bring to a potluck. Service is friendly. The food truck is tucked away in the corner of Windward mall parking lot. Always great to have a hot, fresh Leonard's Malasada! read more

The best you will ever have. I love how hot and fresh each donut is. Worth every calorie. Love the cinnamon sugar - so fluffy

I love Leonard's but the owners need to have a chat with the employees at this location. I go to this location often but the two times (Monday evening and Wed afternoon) I've come here this week. I was given barely warm malasadas instead if the wonderful hot malasadas I've come to expect. read more

Drove past the brick and mortar in Honolulu, crazy line, asked my wife "what's the dealio??"........... Meh. Skip it! Drove past the truck on the loop around the island, flipped a Louie, I mean.., C'MON! Fool me once... 20 pound box (just 2 of each flavor, straight dozen, but these are LUNKERS! And HOT!!) Kids wanted no part of the fun until we both had a nibble and a groan, then the malasada pandora box was open and it was ON. (I erased a paragraph)- Try these. Eat them in the parking lot. NOT the car. Lesson learned. Tip the nice ladies in the truck. Gotta be HOT in there, and they were sweet as could be. A dozen was... a lot? Still have 8 half eaten.. maybe with coffee in the morning we take down a couple more... But GET SOME! Thank me for my sage advice. You're welcome! read more

Yup! Leonard's is a yummy spot! It doesn't matter if it's the food truck or the OG spot...it is DELICIOUS!! This is definitely a must have while here! read more
