    I'm usually not a fan of donuts but my friends really wanted to try this place and I loved it! The chocolate donut was definitely my favorite and the service was good. Right next to the truck me and my friends got to wait with some adorable baby chicks! We were able to watch the sunset from the tables nearby.

    If you're in the mood for some warm, tasty treats, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Everything always tastes great and there are a few different options to select from on the menu.

    The malasada truck was parked right outside the mall, so had to get some fresh malasadas (Portuguese donuts) for the ALOHA win. They do take Apple Pay.

    First time trying and it didn't disappoint I had the hapuia which my girlfriend told me it was coconut filling and it was so good Food here is 10/10 and customer service is super friendly and amazing Ambiance is nice it's a food truck right outside of windward mall we also ran into American idol and award singer Iam Tongi

    Leonards famous malasadas in Waipahu. Hot fresh and so good without the lines like Honolulu. Quick mobile truck in outside ambiance

    This particular Leonard's Bakery food truck only takes card (apple pay included). Please be patient because they're taking orders while making your malasadas fresh.

    Drove out to get these and it did not disappoint! So warm fluffy and delicious! There was no wait when I went around 930 AM on a Monday! If you have never had these you are missing out. 10/10 for a quick sugary snack.

    Delicious and open at 8am! Perfect local breakfast stop on our way back from the airport. They fry them fresh after you order. We will be back!

    got two boxes of malasadas for a coworkers birthday. We got the regular sugar and the cinnamon sugar. I've always grown up eating the regular sugar so I was a little skeptical about the cinnamon, but it was really good and it's always best fresh, but if there was extra, I just heat it up in the microwave for about 30 seconds for breakfast the next day and it was delicious. Highly recommended.

    On our 4 day trip to Hawaii, we had Leonard's a total of 4 times! Nothing beats a hot, fresh malasada with a cup of coffee. This is a MUST HAVE if you are visiting Hawaii, as anything on the mainland could never compare. The service was quick and friendly, and the quality never disappoints. After trying all the flavors, I would most definitely recommend the Cinnamon and the Macadamia Nut Filled, but might as well try them all while you're here!

    Leonard's is popular for a reason. The donuts here are fresh and delicious. We tried the coconut and custard flavors, both were really decadent and filling. I think most donuts are best fresh and if you don't have them warm they probably won't be as good, which is where Leonard's shines. They make them fresh, I don't know if there's much to improve.

    Yum yum. Absolutely delicious. My favourite is the original. Great customer service too! Make sure you stop by if you're ever in the area!

    Always hot and fresh. Always a bit of a line but worth the wait. And they discount the military.

    It would be nice if they gave free plastic or the "non" plastic bags with each purchase of a bigger box of malasadas.

    Has anyone had experience taking these on a plane? (To Los Angeles) How to store them? Lol Are they even allowed? 🤷🏻‍♀️?

    You can carry them on. Not sure how far you are flying them. If really far, a few secs in micro or maybe air fryer to reheat unless you don't mind them cold...

    Any special orders to take back home?

    Regular and my person fav.. Dobash!

    Are there any butter/milk in the Malasadas? Any dairy free options?

    Both milk and butter; no dairy-free option. Maybe one of the vegan cafes on island might have something suitable?

    I only like fresh. Do they cook them in truck? Or best to go to the main store?

    Yes, it's cooked hot and fresh at this location.

Let the efficient workers know if you want something from the display case when it's your turn. It was crowded when I was there, but the line disappeared quickly! This is a popular place because it's neat, clean, and well-stocked with such a variety of choices! I narrowed down my selection to original and ube flavored pianono rolls. Finally, I chose original... it was so buttery, soft, and decadent! I liked the granulated sugar on the outside... it stayed crunchy! Next time, I'll get the ube flavor for comparison... LOL!

I decided to swing by since I was in the area and looking for some cake...no they don't have cake here but they do have cupcake lol and it was for a event that Fishcake in Kaka'ako had was "Take one leave one...but make it cake". Where we trade trinkets and bring cake where they provided plates and utensils but we had to cut the cake so instead I thought of bringing something already cut for convenience Banana Bread :) oh yes and with chocolate chips it was either that or cupcakes, brownies or cookies lol why bother stray from the usual and bring a yummy treat. Well that have that and so much more than I realize if it was cupcakes it would probably be green tea, lilikoi, pistachio...maybe strawberry lemonade or German chocolate omg the selection is quite incredible and I wasn't prepared for it. The staff is very helpful and friendly with all our questions and I love that everything is at your convenience to see without asking and with lots of free parking getting here is easy and yes a piece of cake.

Chocolate covered chocolate chip cookie 3/5 6. Lilikoi bar 10/5 My cupcake 4 pack was kinda a mixed bag. I'm wondering if that comes down to personal preferences more than anything else. About $17 for the 4 pack though so I can honestly only recommend banana chantilly and German chocolate so far. I would skip the cookie because they have so many other options but I'm relieved I only bought one and not the whole bag. Finally I have to say the Lilikoi bar was delicious. One of the best I've ever had. Totally worth the price and would absolutely purchase again. Shop is cute and clean. Next on my list Mac nut brownies!!

Their rolls are excellent as usual, my only complaint their coffee cups are so small. If you're gonna give small cups, please leave the pitcher lol. Now for their bakery, they are known for their coco puffs but they have so much more! Cream puffs, cupcakes, etc. though they are also kind of expensive, i still walked out with a non shameful amount lol.
