Being born and raised on the big island I thought good! finally a good malasada place off island. Sadly it was disappointing. This is not the worst malasadas that i have tried but definitely not the best like Tex's in honokaa from years back. Yes sadly their quality also went down since they modernize to keep up with the increase in tourist business. The pricing is sadly a little high and comical because in Hawaii when tourist complained about the high prices there we would give the standard one word excuse "shipping" and I know all you locals have said it lol. Maybe one day I'll go back and see if it's different maybe I went on a off day. Mahalo read more

That was probably the best bite I'll have all week. Or month. Pipeline Malasadas is a concept originally from Hawaii that boasts the first made-to-order malasadas in Las Vegas. Located in a strip mall on Buffalo just off 215, they're conveniently placed enough to be a reasonable trip from anywhere in town. That's great, because everybody absolutely must try one of their malasadas of the month for May. It's one of their Filled Malasadas ($4.50 each, or discounted with 6/12/18 count boxes), the classic white sugar with POG filling. The passion fruit, orange, and guava cream inside of this bad boy is magical. I was tempted to rip open the paper bag and lick all of it. It was such a vibrant blend of the citrusy and tropical notes of the respective fruits. The malasadas are comparable in size to donuts sans holes, but this was way better than even the best jelly-filled donut I've ever tried. I also loved the dough on that malasada as well as the Sugar Only Malasada ($3.50 each, or various discounts) which I actually tried first. With these, you get to focus on enjoying the piping hot, soft, airy dough with a lightly crispy exterior, and they're slightly less messy to share. I went with the guava sugar, also a month of May special, and found it harder to pick up the specific fruit notes in this form. I'm wondering if the li hing would have been a better way to go here. There is one bench to sit on if you happen to find it empty, so this is really more of a takeout spot. There's one restroom which you can ask them for the code for. There seems to be plenty of parking nearby currently. I really hope Pipeline Malasadas plans to open another location closer to Henderson. That said, I'll probably have to drive across town several times this month for more POG-filling malasadas. They're that fantastic. read more

Visiting Las Vegas and friend told us to try Pipeline because the malasadas are close to Leonard's in Hawaii. Pipeline had huge variety selections of malasadas. The interior was clean and contemporary Hawaii feel. No seating so mainly it's a too go. The service was very good but it was not crowded at all. We ordered a half dozen box which was I think 5% discount. The malasadas were hot and pillow soft but a bit pricey. The filled malasadas were $1 more. Overall it was like Leonard's but not quite Leonard's. Was a nice treat for dessert after dinner. read more

Fancy schmancy malasadas...at least I can say I tried them. Probably won't be back- because they're in the expensive side. I would recommend for people to give it a shot though especially if they've never had a malasada before. Make sure you eat it fresh! We had the classic and li hing mui no filling. The place is clean except for the benches outside...covered in sugar lol...and staff was friendly. They are fresh so you can expect to wait a little. read more

If you haven't tried this Hawaiian malasada shop yet, you are missing out! It's right by Buffalo and 215 in a newer shopping plaza recently built. Everything is made to order, so they come out very fresh and warm. They open at 9am on weekends and 7am on weekdays (open until 9pm!), making it an easy stop any time of day whether you want a morning treat or nighttime dessert. The island vibes are on point -- Hawaiian music playing in the background, turquoise and blue accents inside, a place to sit and read about their origin story from O'ahu and big bright windows that make the space feel light and welcoming. Each donut starts at $3.50, with options to build a box and add on from there. If you buy 12+ you get 10% off your order! Friendly staff and even merch and extra items like boxes or bags available for purchase, too. Keep in mind, It is a grab and go (after waiting about 10 minutes or so) vs a sit down and enjoy as they don't have tables inside. We've ordered from here a few times - especially because the fam and my niece and nephew love them. We've had most of the flavors but our go-tos are the original sugar and cinnamon. I haven't tried any of the filled flavors, so that's next on the list! Such a fun, unique spot -- I don't think we have anything else like it around here. A great way to spread aloha through their tasty malasadas, so glad they opened in town and highly recommend! read more

After having dinner at Win Kee, I looked up dessert places nearby and Pipeline Malasadas popped up. Wondering if these malasadas are as good as Leonard's on O'ahu? They're just as good if not better. I don't know how they do it, but each malasada is made to order. Li Hing Mui - it's not a strong li hing mui flavor, I liked it Strawberry Cream Filled - yummy Although there's a couple benches, there's no place to sit down and eat. read more

Okay Pipeline! I see you! Watch out Leonard's! So my Hawaiian friend told me about this place how it tasted better than Leonard's. I'm like no way! Leonard's in Hawaii was amazing. How can any donuts here top it off here. This says a lot when it's coming from someone who was from Hawaii. So I had to come and try it myself. I've been wanting to come here but didn't ever come because I didn't know if it would be worth it until my friend confirmed it. So I got a plain with no sugar, custard, haupia (seasonal), and ube sugar (seasonal). They change some of their sugar and fillings around monthly. The ube sugar was my fav! So was my husband's. The dough was perfect. Light, dense, but not too heavy. Still crisp on outside and soft inside. Sugar wasn't too much and you can kinda taste the ube. This should not be a seasonal flavor. The fillings were delish. The haupia and custard were not overly sweet which I like. Now I wish I had them all dipped in sugar. This definitely up there with Leonard's. I like these better since it wasn't too heavy and they were not too sweet either. I like how I can customize the sugars and fillings. It is a bit pricey though! For the amount of money I had to pay for each donut, we could at least get a plastic bag to put all the donuts in. Leonard's had thank you bags. They aren't expensive. Just a suggestion. Ambiance- pretty casual. Not sure why more people are not lining up here. Location needs to be more busier like the strip or by a mall. Service was great! They were friendly and knew their menu. read more

First timer here and boy was I impressed! They literally brought some of Hawaii with them and I'm so happy! The service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was surf themed of course hence the name. I highly recommend all of their Malasada and you can't go wrong by my favorite of course is custard. If you're from Hawaii and need some good ole fashion Malasada's be sure to stop by here. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Definitely the place for the best and freshest malasadas in the 9th island of Las Vegas. This may also even be the only one in town where you can get the variety of flavors that they offer. If you never had a malasada, the best way I'd describe it is like a huge ball with an airy texture. Almost as if this is what a donut would be if it didn't have its hole removed. Maybe? I've had all their malasadas, but my go to is li hing, cinnamon or classic. With the other flavors, I feel like it isn't so strong that I kind of get confused what I'm eating. Either way whichever one you get, it'll definitely be good. This area is pretty chill. Think of it kind of like you're at a donut shop except you can't see the donuts. You order the items you want and then you just wait for your malasada(s). There's no place for you to really sit and eat, but it's a portable food anyways. You can just eat it wherever inside or outside or just take your box wherever you decide. Definitely a must try for those who never had it, but also a great spot for those who knows what a malasada is. read more

If you ever find yourself in Vegas, THIS IS A MUST! For someone who loves malasadas and Hawaii, this place is the closest thing compared to Leonard's, if not BETTER! Malasadas came out hot and fresh despite coming in on a Monday around dinner time! The malasadas were sooo soft, sugary, and delicious! Wish we had this place in California, but definitely will be coming back! Cheeeho! read more

Originally from Oahu, Pipeline Malasadas has brought the taste of authentic Hawaiian style malasadas to Southwest Las Vegas. Now, you can get a taste of Aloha goodness in the desert. Their malasadas are made to order so they come out piping out, crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside. Simply Onolicious! You can customize your order with flavored sugar toppings ($3.50 each) or indulge in their creme flavored versions ($4.50 each). The shop is located on South Buffalo Drive in the same shopping center as Nana's Green Tea. It is nice and clean with counters on the side where you can eat your malasadas. The staff is very friendly and welcoming; they will gladly explain the menu if it is your first time. read more

We had always wanted to try Pipeline, so we decided to just go for it after dinner at a nearby restaurant. The interior is clean and contemporary with a definite Hawaii and surfing vibe. The aqua color scheme is awesome and definitely makes you think of the ocean. The staff member was very friendly and explained the menu and pricing. Check out the unique story of how this company started which is posted on the wall. There is no seating inside unfortunately, but there is a counter you can stand at. We tried all the seasonal specials - pumpkin custard, macadamia custard, and strawberry li hing. They were all truly delicious. Definitely try to enjoy them while they are still warm! The pumpkin custard was my favorite. Amazing crunchy sugar outside with an outstanding fluffy interior with flavorful custard. Delicious! We were asked if we wanted them in separate bags, so we said yes. We didn't realize they charge for every extra bag. This seems a little cheap on their part. Overall, this was a delicious experience! PS - they are made to order, so expect a short wait to receive your order - about 7 or 8 minutes wait during our visit. read more

I said I would stop by as soon as they had the strawberry li hing malasada available. I did! Today was the first day and I ate one in the parking lot in my car. I don't care, the sugar and crumbs on my leggings were worth every warm, airy bite! I bought one for hubby along with pineapple and Oreo sugar. I ate those at home. I'm kinda glad Pipeline is about 15 mins away from me or I would have a serious problem! I had some li hing sugar left in the bag from my strawberry filled one and I dipped my pineapple filled malasada into it and that was a taste treat too! Maybe that will be a special someday. You've got until 2/28 to enjoy the strawberry filled li hing malasada. Definitely give it a try!! read more

Soft, warm, and freshly made, hits the sweet spot every time. Just wish there were more flavors to try.

The Malasadas were okay, the service was sub-par. When we walked in, it felt like we were an inconvenience. We waited 5-8 minutes for two orders malasadas. They were nice and worth (yay!) Would I come back? Maybe? read more

I get my nails done next door to this spot, and I got curious, so I went ahead and tried this and BAAM it blew my mind! Pipeline malasadas opened up this past spring in May. The people call it " Hawaii's favorite Donut." That was the first time! Next level - fried to perfection of fluffy, golden crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Malasadas are originally Portuguese, and they were brought to Hawaii by the Portuguese laborers. Second time was today, and it was what I remembered! BAAM! When walk in you can place your order or you can online order. Place is quaint and airy for you to just take a quick bite and go, no sit down or anything like that. It can be pricey, but hey I think it's worth it and get to support local businesses, right! I think it's a good cause! I tried the coffee sugar only malasadas and it was so fluffy and right amount of heaven in your mouth! Definitely will keep coming back! read more

I only ordered 2 malasadas, the li hing mui and the classic white sugar. Both were made to order and came out perfect... fresh, sweet, and delicious! The wait was less than 10 mins. There's plenty of parking and ambiance is pretty small... just a counter top and a small bench in the back. If you're craving malasadas from the islands, this is your go-to spot. read more

ONO-licious! Taste of Aloha! Pillows of Aloha! The filling was a really good ratio of filling to dough.... Not too much and not too little. Best when fresh but still tasty the next day! Pairs great with a cup of Kona coffee if you have the means. Just sayin'. This isn't near me.... Thankfully as I'd be here too often if it was nearby. They offer monthly flavors to keep you salivating! read more

It's nice to see a Malasadas shop here on the 9th island. We waited a few weeks after their grand opening to finally stop in. You will have to order and take it to go since there is no seating inside. That pretty much explains why the shop is very clean, lol. We ordered the Half pipe box (6 Malasadas) with Classic and Guava. Decided to get one of the classic ones filled with custard. While I appreciate that everything was made to order, they were just.....okay. Most of the Guava sugar coating fell off in the box by the time we got home to eat it, which was within 10-15 minutes. But I could barely taste any Guava. Unfortunately, the custard filling was gross because it tasted like chemicals for some reason. Ended up throwing that one away immediately!! Maybe I should have chose chocolate instead? The employee who was working at the time was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. Not sure why they only offer the option for a filling in the Classic only. I'm glad I got to try it since everyone has been talking about this place, but no desire to return. read more

Malasadas originated in Portugal, became famous in Hawaii, and now we get to enjoy them in Vegas. They blew up on IG earlier this year, and I finally got to try them a few weeks ago. Trust me you won't regret coming here. Location: Across from the new Southwest Costco, right next to Xiao Long Dumplings and Nanas Green Tea. Perfect snack for a Costco run (especially since Costco doesn't have churros anymore). Ambiance: A small shop mainly for takeout, but they do have a high top standing table if you want to enjoy your malasada right away. Food: You choose your sugar coating and filling. If you want a filling, it must be made with the classic sugar coating. I've tried. Classic sugar with custard (5/5). Classic sugar with mango (4/5). Coffee sugar (2/5). My tip definitely go for a filling otherwise it feels like just a big piece of dough. Overall, a fun spot for a quick dessert snack or something to bring to a gathering. read more

Visiting Vegas and our friend recommended to come here to get the maladadas. I've been to Hawaii and had the malasadas there so I was able to compare. It tasted just like the islands. Especially eating it hot and fresh... *drool*. I got the coffee sugar and it was perfect. They take the time to make sure they are made fresh and coated with your desired sugar. The even have creamy fillings. I will note, we didn't finish our 6 count and they were still good the next morning. Its a small shop where you order see the counter. A few bar stool seating around the corner but it's mostly a to go or quick eats. read more

We were craving some sweet treats and wanted to check out this place. Although it was 9:30pm, 30 mins to closing time, we were kinda iffy on the freshness. We were greeted promptly as we entered, the place was nice and clean. They even got merch too! I got the standard Malasadas and a Li Hing. The wait wasn't even that long, and it was fresh! Yummmm. The size of em were huuuge, the other malasada folks don't even compare. It was also decently priced. Restrooms were clean too. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the area! read more

I saw a recommendation online but I should've known better; especially when they were NOT from Hawaii. They were made fresh to order however maybe the batch we got the dough was extremely tough. Service wasn't good either; we felt rushed when there was no one else in line and not friendly. Flavors were unusual and thought we would give them a try which sadly we did not like any - powder or filled. Very pricey as we were attempting to support a local business which some may like which we did not. read more

When we ordered our malasadas and the service was kind and the food came out hot and fresh. Although the malasadas seem to be a bit pricy but the potion size is well for the price. We ordered the chocolate, raspberry, and the special li hing sugar with mango filling. The ones I didn't like was the special they had which tasted like it wasn't a good combo in my opinion. I like li hing but the mango didn't taste like mango and it was just a unique pairing. The chocolate and raspberry were good with regular sugar and the dough was nice and fluffy. I appreciate the filling to bread ratio. The place was very clean and little small and there aren't chairs inside so you have to wait standing but waiting for the malasadas wasn't long. I would definitely come back and try their new flavors when they have or whenever I crave just regular malasadas. read more

We went to the Buffalo location excited about buying some Malasadas for my families that were going to the airport back home. We ordered a dozen and asked to split them into 2 separate boxes because they were going to 2 separate families. When she said "yes, but it'll be $1 extra". I said I'll do separate orders then! She didn't care, and didn't think twice how irritating of an inconvenience that was. Sorry Gayla, no aloha when you're not here. read more

Pipeline Malasadas come to Las Vegas from Oahu and they have made to order malasadas that are topped with flavored sugars and can be filled with custards for $1 more. Though they have many different flavors and fillings, their sugar malasada is all that I need. I got the sugar, guava sugar (special for July 2025), and their custard filled sugar malasada and, of the three, I preferred the simple sugar malasada. Because the donuts are made to order, they're hot, they're crispy and light, and you should eat them as soon as you possibly can. Overall, this sweet treat is simple and delicious. read more

While there was a bit of a wait, they came out hot and pillowy soft. The lihing sugar was great but be prepared for a sugar explosion all over yourself if you eat it right when it's hot. The classic massively filled with lilikoi filling was sweet with a nice tang from the filling. Keep napkins handy for any filling that seeps out. Perhaps the most impressive thing is that most donuts get hard when left overnight, my classic sugar did not. It was as soft and moist as it was when I ordered it at lunch time the next day. Also their cold brew ice tea was a great compliment as it cut through some of the sweetness. Pipeline is definitely a place to check out. The service was friendly and the store front while tiny was very clean and inviting. I look forward to trying more! read more

I had high hopes for this place after hearing all the hype, but honestly, it didn't live up to the expectations. The filled doughnuts were a major letdown--the filling was just an overwhelming glob of overly sweet, gooey stuff that completely threw off the texture and taste. It felt like too much, and not in a good way. The one redeeming item was the regular sugar doughnut--it was light, fluffy, and nicely coated in sugar and cinnamon. That one I actually enjoyed. Unfortunately, one good doughnut isn't enough to make me want to come back. Just not for me. read more

Fresh Malasadas in Vegas Trying off-strip gems in Vegas is quickly becoming my favorite thing -- so many hidden treasures from all over the world somehow land here (or LA), and when you're in the city... why not explore? This time, it's malasadas -- fluffy, golden, sugar-dusted bites of aloha. A local native brought her island roots to Vegas, and just like that snap, we're blessed with warm, pillowy goodness straight out of Hawai'i. Endless options to fill or coat these beauties. I went with a half dozen: cinnamon, original, strawberry, and coffee. The verdict? Get. In. My. Belly. Mahalo to whoever decided Vegas needed a taste of home. read more

We found a taste of Hawaii and Aloha here at Pipeline Malasadas! First off, the Malasadas come out hot and fresh to order. They had the perfect blend of softness, chewiness and crispiness that you want! The malasadas are not oily and even taste great the next day, retaining most of the softness. They have different flavors and fillings, plus some daily flavor specials! We were lucky enough to come and try the daily special with mango filling with Li hing mui sugar dusting! This was my favorite. The "Original"classic white sugar Malasadas is always a must have! The bake shop is very bright with modern decor. They have a small section to the side with bench seating and a counter to eat at. The owner happened to be there and was so nice and welcoming! Really felt that Aloha spirit! Till next time we visit Oahu or Vegas (their locations), Mahalo! Happy Nom Nom! read more

Let me get right to it. I had a chocolate and custard filled malasadas. Wow, each bite was warm, airy and delicious! The right amount of sweetness. I'm just thrilled that they're only two exits away from my apartment. The only thing is I wish they had ube or coconut filling. They feature only a small batch of different fillings monthly. All good, I'll be returning often anyways. The cashier was very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend for everyone to come and try them out. read more

Pipeline Malasadas, calling themselves "Hawaii's Favorite Donut," just opened their first Las Vegas location--and honestly, I can see why. They've officially become my favorite donut spot, no question. These malasadas are next level--fried to a perfect golden crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. You can get them with or without filling (custard, lychee custard, chocolate, cherry), and what I love is the filling's balanced sweetness. You taste the actual flavor--not just sugar. But if you try anything, go with the powdered sugar versions. This is where they really shine. They offer unique options like Li-Hing (a salty-sour plum powder), Coffee, Pineapple, Classic, Cinnamon, and Cocoa. I had the Li-Hing, and it blew me away--generously dusted, the salty-sweet-sour flavor was bold, nostalgic, and addictive in the best way. Pipeline Malasadas brings something special to Vegas. If you're looking for a dessert that's different, high-quality, and packed with flavor--this is the spot. read more

I've tried a lot of malasadas in town.. some good.. some malasadas in name only... most of those places are gone. This one is likely to be here a long time! First, the staff are so friendly and helpful. You enter a sleek, clean shop (reminds me of the Blue Bottle in Uncommons) and place your order where they're made/filled upon ordering. So for those of you thinking this is dunkin, no, you can't see your order as it's not made until you make it! So the way it works here is you choose your sugar (of which there's one that is a monthly special (e.g., strawberry, guava, pineapple) along with the regulars (think plain sugar, cinnamon, chocolate and don't sleep on the Lihing) and then for a $1 upcharge, you can fill them with custard, but only the plain sugar ones on most days! They also have a few rotating fillings every month one tropical (lilikoi was amazing.. get that when you see it next!) and one more north american flavor palate. They run $3.50 without filling.. just so you're ready. They also have a variety of drinks including Hawaiian coffee, lilikoi iced tea, and Hawaiian Sun cans! If you're needing a little reminder of Hawaii in Vegas.. add Pipeline to your list!! Oh and join the newsletter so you get the monthly flavor updates! read more

Tasty Malasadas, got regular and filled. The filled ones are a $1 more. I love the filling, i love the powdered 'kine. I don't really love filling inside the malasaddition. Their li hing is tasty but wished it was more sour. I did love the passion fruit filling, has good ratio between tart and sweet. I think 6 of these bad boys set me back around $27. Dru brought me here. You can say he's a connoisseur of malasadas of sorts. It's across from the upcoming costco. This shopping center will be crazy busy I'd bet in a few months. Don't try leaving the same door you came in. It's incredibly difficult to open. They sell shirts and hats in addtion. I almost bought one since it shares the same letter as my first name. Maybe ill get lucky gambling. I'd rather get these than mochi donuts any day. They come steamy hot with a 15 min wait. read more
