Being able to choose the fillings and coatings means you get to completely tailor your malasadas! Nutella is a great filling, as is PB&J. They're made to order, so super fresh.

The highlight of this dessert truck is definitely their malasadas.They're made fresh and have a variety of flavors to choose from. Unfortunately, I found the staff to not be very informative about the menu options. It would have been nice to receive friendly and helpful service, especially when trying to decide which malasada flavor to choose. Despite the staff's demeanor, the desserts themselves are worth a try. Just be prepared to navigate the menu on your own or ask for recommendations from fellow customers. read more

Been to this place in the Big Island and glad to see it here in Maui. IMO this one is better than the one I had before. We got 3 malasada for $16 and didn't regret it. They were flavorful and super fresh. Crispy, warm and just delightful. A must get in Hawaii. read more

Nothing I love more than donuts on a Saturday, but these malasadas are so good they should be eaten every day. So fresh and warm. I love the raspberry and and Huapia filled (not pictured). The huapia is so subtle and perfectly sweet. You may be tempted to bring these to another spot to eat, since the food truck roundup by Costco (or gas station where it previously was located) aren't the best ambience, but eating them fresh is a must! read more

I kept seeing this Hot Malasada spot pot up in my feeds while in Maui. I decided to check them out and see if they live up to the hype. 1. The address to the food truck is like top secret. I had to google it to get the address. 2. It actually sits at the corner of Haleakala Hwy & Dairy Rd alongside a plethora of assorted food trucks. Right across from Costco. 3. I walk up to order. Guy is not friendly at all. Just direct. 4. I order the 6 Malasada's for $15 as the sign depicts. It says to add fillings. I proceed to get chocolate, 2 Haupia, Lilikoi, Mango & strawberry. 5. He says hold on let me start your order. Price comes out to $29. I state that the sign says $15. He replies, that's only for plain. No where on the sign does it say anything about the price for filling. 6. I felt like because he had already started my order, I was stuck with the price of $29. So I paid for them. 7. 10 minutes later, the Malasada's were ready. Smelled delicious. Got them home and hubby enjoyed the Mango with his dinner. I had 1/2 the haupia. Note: the reason for the 3 stars is because you'd think at these prices the fillings would be homemade. If you look in the window, you'll see all the regular store brought supplies. Nutella, strawberry jelly, and other jars that made me second think my purchase. I didn't see these until I was picking up the order. To each their own. I'll stick with Leonard's. read more

Wanted to pick up something sweet for the family on a quick trip to Maui. Found Manuela Malasada in Kahului - in a grouping of food trucks across from Costco. I really wanted to like these, but . . . They weren't like the malasadas that I'm used to (and LOVE) - like Leonard's - which are crispy on the outside and soft and light on the inside. Instead, these were quite dense and cakey. They actually reminded me more of andagi (Okinawan donuts) - maybe even denser. They are also more expensive than other malasada places, especially since you have to order them in quantities of 3x, 6x or 12x. And fillings are an extra $2. Positives: + Made fresh to order + Variety of flavors + Local Business read more

IMHO I was heartbroken to learn that Manuela Malasada was no longer situated in Lahaina at the gas station. However, I learned that they had moved to a Kahului food truck park directly across the street from Costco. Driving by, I immediately recognized the signature purple "truck"! Fortunate for me, there was no line when I arrived. In Lahaina, there was always a long line, so I appreciated the time to scan the donut menu and decide what I wanted. I ordered one Lilikoi filled, one chocolate filled, and one custard filled, all with sugar toppings, plus one iced coffee. Of course, these are made to order so they come out hot and fresh! I'm guessing I waited maybe 10 minutes or less, but hey, these malasadas are worth it!!! Get thee to Manuela's Malasadas! read more

They have a lot of options and combinations to customize. Lots of good toppings and fillings available. My favorite was the sugar covered, Bavarian cream filled. I highly recommend going to pick some of these up! read more

You have to order minimum 3 malasadas - starting price $9. Then, every malasada you want filled is $2 each, aka $5 per each filled malasada. The malasadas were dense and doughy. Nothing about it gave me world famous vibes. Their marketing strategies definitely mislead me. Service was excellent though. I ordered the Bavarian cream filled but had the opportunity to try the haupia filling. To me, the haupia is superior. Cash only. As much as I'd like to support local business, I believe they should work on perfecting their product before calling it world famous. read more

We were driving by and saw this small food truck saying that they have world famous malasadas and that they were featured on the Food Network so I decided it was a place we HAD to stop and try! We ended up ordering the ube cheesecake, Bavarian crème, and lilikoi cheesecake malasadas with plain sugar. These were sooo good!! The malasadas are made to order so when we got them, they were super hot and fresh and the cream inside them were so delicious as well. I also loved the contrast of the cold cream with the hot dough. It is a bit on the pricey end because a pack of 3 malasadas costs $9, but I would still say they are still definitely worth a try and your taste buds will thank you. The store is moreso just a stand that is located in the corner of a gas station. Service was friendly and the person taking our order was really patient with us as we were deciding what to order and he gave us recommendations as to what is popular. There isn't much seating here as there's only one bench in front of the stand, so I'd say this is more of a grab and go type place. read more

Eek...don't hate me...but this definitely did not meet my expectations for a "must try" Maui food joint. The malasadas were pretty good but didn't quite "hit" like I would have liked. I agree with some of the other reviews that say that the dough has a sort of sour taste to it. Kinda like sourdough, but not in a good way because I love me some sourdough. I was also bummed because it was super hot that day, and I think it took us an HOUR to stand in a line with two other people and then finally get our donuts. I wish it could have been a better experience because we drove a far distance and I took all of my siblings with me. read more

I remember over 20 years ago traversing the big island in search of Malasadas because my mom had read about them being a popular treat in Hawaii and we all really wanted to try them. Mom's not with us this trip, but that didn't lessen the desire to grab some delicious malasadas. I ordered a dozen, four haupia filled, four lillikoi cheesecake filled, and four Bavarian cream filled for our group of seven. These were all delicious! The reason for four stars instead of five is because there was only one person working the very busy stand, and it took nearly an hour to get our order. If you're wondering, yes, it was worth the wait! read more

Quality/Quantity - Huge fresh custom malasadas! We came here for 1 malasada and left with 6! We got all six with the Li-Hing (Sweet & Sour Plum Sugar), which I do NOT recommend. Not that it was not good, but after the 4th one, it started to taste the same. It is NOT you, it is me... Plus, it might be beneficial to try different combinations of flavors. Our fillings were: Peaches N Cream (wife's favorite), Ube & Lilikoi Cheesecake (when in HI), Blueberry (daughters favorite because it had whole blueberries in the filling), Pineapple, and Pumpkin spice. Atmosphere - Trailer in a 76 gas station; so you KNOW it's going to be good, LOL Service - 6 stars, crazy busy. People everywhere waiting for their malasadas. Great place to meet people, LOL. One of the team members was training, it might be his first day on the job. The other guy, sorry I forgot his name is awesome!!! He needs a raise!!! He did everything and was training the new person. He said that there are only 3 of them working total as it is very hard to hire. (Only him and the trainee was working today) Price - Custom, see picture. Do know that the #1 prices are only for plain. See menu picture. So you have to add the #2 prices of fillings. Can I suggest that your "selected quantity" amount and "add a filling" amount match? For example, you should have "add 3, 6, and 12 filling" prices rather than single, 2, 4, 6, and 12 fillings. See picture. Where is the 3 and 5 filling price? Guess we have to do math, LOL. Owner Comment - Can I suggest a website? Especially since you are franchising? Or is your website under a different name? Congrats on your 6+ locations and growing. read more

Maybe the shrimp, crispy pork or pad thai would be more memorable.

Happy Belly

We stopped here for dinner on our first night in Maui, and it set the bar pretty high…read more The wait for food was a bit long, but honestly--it paid off. We went all in on the pork belly (no regrets ) and ordered the pork belly fried rice and the garlic noodles with pork belly. Both dishes were packed with flavor and super satisfying. The pork belly on the garlic noodles had that perfect crispy edge with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth center--easily the highlight. We went on a Sunday night, and the place had a fun, lively vibe. There are tables available, but it does get busy, so come with a little patience. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I've been a repeat customer because I always enjoyed the grilled ono sliders, but this visit was a…read morehuge disappointment. The menu photo shows thick pieces of ono, and that's how they've always been served in the past. This time, the fish was paper thin and barely filled the bun. It definitely wasn't worth the price. I politely asked why the ono was so thin, and I was told, "They're sliders, that's why they're thin." I explained that I've ordered these many times before and they've never looked like this, but my concern was dismissed. I understand portions can vary, but this was a drastic difference from what I've received before. Loyal customers notice when quality and portions change. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning.

Suns Out Buns Out

I stopped by here yesterday for lunch. Sun's Out Buns Out is located in a food truck pod, so I did…read morenot realize exactly where I was going until I saw all of the trucks. The truck itself is fun, painted with bright tropical colors and scenes, and they seem to be known for their loaded tots and bao buns. I placed my order on the touchscreen outside and then sat down to wait for my food. For lunch on this day I went with the buffalo chicken tots and the Island Piggy bao. The menu described the bao as kalua pork, BBQ sauce, tropical salsa, and pickled red onions. The buffalo chicken tots were described as buttermilk fried chicken, buffalo sauce, jack cheddar cheese, house made pickles, and ranch dressing. It took less than 10 minutes for my food to be ready and I sat down at one of the shaded picnic tables. When I opened everything up it all looked good, but I did notice that the tots were missing the house made pickles. I started with the bao and thought it was pretty good. The kalua pork was super juicy and the bao bun was light and fluffy while still holding together well. The pickled onions added a nice acidity and the tropical salsa brought good flavor. The only thing I did not notice much was the BBQ sauce. After that I dug into the tots. The tots themselves were cooked nicely with a crispy outside and soft inside. The chicken was good as well with a nice batter and the buffalo sauce added flavor while the cheese was gooey. The only thing worth noting is that the chicken was softer than expected and not very crispy. It worked since I did have the texture from the crispy tots, but it stood out. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I would probably not order both a bao and tots again as it was a lot of food, but I would definitely come back for one or the other.

One of the better food trucks in the Maui Food Truck court…read more Bao Bun Sandwiches is definitely my jam so I was happy to try this place out. We came here twice and I got the 3 bao slider combo each time. - The BAO*CHICKA*BAO*BAO was one of my favorite sandwiches. - My second favorite was the ISLAND PIGGY. I got this both times. - the LITTLE PIGGY was good, but a little overhyped in my opinion. But good to try. - the DUCK DUCK GOAT was wildly disappointing. As you can see in the picture, all meat and almost nothing else. Maybe a few silvers of cabbage. But where's the goat cheese and the fig jam?!? We also got the ALOHA TOTS. Huge portion so that was nice. But the kalua pork was pretty watery and made the crispy tots go soggy pretty fast. Overall a solid spot. Definitely worth trying at least once.

South Maui Gardens

I really wanted to like this place more and we even made a drive out of it. I can see how it can be…read morereally nice (per IG) but I think we went at a bad time b/c it was pretty dead, lots of trucks were closed w/signs they'd be back in the evening so we were very limited in our food options. We went about 4ish but seems they're opened till much later and that's when it gets lively. It's a nice place to walk around though, but it's not very ADA friendly as there's lots of gravel and rocks so something to keep in mind. There's limited parking in the front but also a large parking lot in the back. Restrooms were clean.

They have lots of things, though. There was a yoga session happening in the middle lawn area. They have a butterfly area, even though the butterflies were somewhere else. There is an aging tortoise, I forget his name. There are also different businesses in the buildings, like a spa and a salon. There are different small vendors with their booths and several food trucks; although, some were not open in the morning and the Thai food truck had all their items sold out on their menu already. The prices were even more pricier than the food trucks at Maui Food Trucks. One vendor had hand crafted desserts for $20/piece! I admired from afar, haha. Everything is advertised as "farm to table" maybe justifying their prices. We shared an acai bowl and it was mid. The the peanut butter was just scraped on the side of the bowl. Our typical acai bowls at least put the peanut/almond butter in the middle like any other topping so you can get an even bite with everything. But the dallop of peanut butter just on the side, it was like we ordered peanut butter on the side of our acai bowl. It was weird. I bet it's more alive at night with more food trucks open and live music. We came and saw and didn't come back. I can see how it can be great for families with toddlers running around, giving them a safe space to burn their energy. Until then, this probably won't be the top of our list.

Our calendar is filled with exciting community events, from Hula Shows and live music to a Thursday artisan market, and Second Saturday.

I got the bread with macadamia nuts because i love nuts and they drive me nuts - nuts were fresh enough, which added the crunchy texture to my soft moist bread - could be more moist but it was already satisfactory - i like how they sell smaller pieces rather than a whole loaf but also it was more pricey - not as fresh and as good as aunty sandy's but decent! rating: 3/5 - since this place focuses on cinnamon roll, the rating is heavily weighted towards the cinnamon, which did not meet the minimum expectations of what a basic cinnamon roll should be - if this place was called the banana bread place, id give it a 4/5 - quick service nothing much to note - very small store; grab and go vibes with some seats outside IG: @nom.noms.only

Maui Bread

(+) Pretzel Croissant…read more Maui bread is a bakery that sells pastries, some hot food items, and desserts. Another staple when visiting Maui. My wife and I come here for their pretzel croissant. It tastes exactly what it sounds like. They used to give the mustard spread, but now they charge for it. Either way, we are still coming back because of how fluffy and flakey the croissant is. You have to try it. We've tried a few other pastries and they were decent.

Came twice. First time with the lilikoi bun. I wanted…read moresomething unique. And it was. The bun was not exactly tasty almost plain/dry, but the filling was quite tart. Almost too much. I did enjoy overall. The cinnamon roll was not hot from the oven, so I avoided disappointment. Next time I got the almond croissant. Pretty tasty. Basically they cut the croissant in half, filled in the cream and put the top back. Odd. Better between the two. Might be too sweet for some. Prices are higher than other places. I don't think you'll find anything subpar. Seems like good offerings.

I don't know what I'll do if I lose Nick's Maui. But I dither, Nick's Fishmarket Maui is in an incredible location inside the Fairmont Kea Lani and it's setting alone would be enough to pull me back even if the food was just okay. Thankfully the food is MUCH better than "just okay", it is generally outstanding. I rotate starters and salads because there are so many great choices. The Caesar Salad is about as good as they get, but I really, really like the Maui Greek Salad. With at least four people we start with the Seafood Tower, but find it just too big for two of us. Other than that the Kalua Pig Pot Stickers, Charred Octopus, Crab Cakes and Blackened Ahi are the starters I rotate through. For my Main, I am less eclectic. I have a hard time getting away from the Diver Scallops and Scampi. I have tried other dishes, the Abalone, Kona Lobster and Ribeye (I know, I know, who orders steak in a seafood restaurant), but I keep coming back to. For Dessert, I am also in a rut, but I love desserts they set on fire and in this case it is Bananas Foster. I do sneak bites off my DW's Creme Brulee, as does off my BF. The service is terrific, attentive without being intrusive. I used to joke about the Chicago store that if you knocked a spoon off the table someone would catch it before it hit the floor. The Maui service isn't quite that attentive and I am not sure I would want it to be.

Perfect venue for unforgettable celebrations
