Stopped for some malasadas, which are a Portuguese donut that are a Hawaiian staple. Leonard is THE…read moreplace to get them, whether at a shop or good truck. We decided to try the traditional, which is just shipped in granulated sugar, a custard filled and a chocolate filled. These are not like regular donuts, l although say first glance the look like regular donuts. Malasadas are very eggy--almost like a wet custard pastry, if that makes any sense. I don't like weird textures, and while I did like them, the texture was a little on the custom of "iffy" for me. Hubby really liked them, and they tasted so delicious. Note of caution: they didn't seem to be the same the next day. The eggs texture made it seem kind of "wet" the next day, so the one we saved ended up in the trash. I'm giving it a five because they tasted delicious, and the texture issue is MY weird thing. Everyone else seems to love them, so I'm going with that!

We stopped by Nene Goose Bakery on a Saturday around 9:30am. There was a small line outside, and…read morethey only allow one party in at a time, so things move steadily but not quickly. They're open from 6am-1pm, and by the time we got there, a few items we wanted to try were already sold out. If you have your heart set on something specific, definitely come early. Cash only!! One of the sweetest parts of the experience was the owner -- a sweet older lady who takes your order herself and carefully packages everything up for you. It feels very personal and old-school in the best way. Here's what we tried: Long John - The star of the show. It's served chilled and doesn't look like your typical long john. The donut itself was light, pillowy, and slightly crispy. The texture contrast was perfect. We'd honestly come back just for this. Mochi An Pan - Really good. The mochi had that satisfying chew, the red bean wasn't overly sweet, and the bread was soft and fresh. Mushroom & Onion - Savory and comforting. The cream sauce was flavorful and paired well with the soft bread Ham & Cream Cheese - This one was a bit too dense for us, likely because of the cream cheese topping. Not bad, just heavier than we prefer. Parking is easy and plentiful since it's in the same lot as the movie theater. Overall, such a cute local bakery, make sure to come early, bring cash, and don't skip the long john.

If you think you've had malasadas before, this one in Kailua will make you rethink your…read moreassumptions--and maybe your topology. Instead of the usual solid sphere situation, this malasada is a torus, complete with a legitimate central hole. It's not just aesthetic; it's deliciously functional. More surface area means more outer crunch, and the math checks out. Fresh out of the fryer, the increased perimeter-to-volume ratio delivers maximum Maillard reaction per bite. The exterior achieves a near-perfect golden-brown crisp, while the interior remains chewy and toothsome--soft, elastic, and deeply satisfying. It's a beautiful example of form following function, where geometry directly improves flavor. Eat it hot. Like, immediately hot. Any delay introduces unnecessary variables into an otherwise elegant equation. This is malasada topology at its finest: crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and proof that sometimes the hole really does make the donut better.

I've only had a banana fritter in Cali so this was a nice surprise. Bc it was banana mixed with apple, it had a hint of banana flavor.

Ofc my kids highly enjoyed their donuts. Prices are really good on all the items we got ranging between $1.55 - $2.12; we spent right under $12 for everything. Will be back again!
