    Made a special trip from Centennial Hills to the Southwest for these special beauties. The malasadas are delicious here! Staff were friendly and helpful. The interior was bright and clean. Will definitely need to return soon.

    tried a variety of sugar coatings and was impressed by how flavorful each one was without being overly sweet. The dough itself was soft, airy, and not greasy at all. The made-to-order process takes a few extra minutes, but it's absolutely worth the wait when you receive a hot malasada straight from the fryer. The shop has a welcoming island vibe and feels like a little taste of Hawaii right here in Las Vegas. Friendly service, quality ingredients, and consistently fresh malasadas make this a spot I'll happily return to whenever I'm craving something sweet.

    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.

    Fresh and hot is how it was given and how it's should be eaten!!! Bombay!!!!!! Hope the idea I shared will happen..

    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.

    FOOD: Malasadas in Vegas!!! They have a variety of order deals SERVICE: Very detailed- they even organize your order to match the receipt tag so that you know what's what; staff are extremely nice AMBIANCE: They have merch- shirts, hats, stickers; very clean

    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.

    Firstly, happy Father's Day! Secondly, it's my birthday. LOL. Thirdly, this place is so good. Decided to come and try the June special of pineapple filling Malasadas (both the strawberry li hing and the white sugar) and it did NOT disappoint. The Malasadas are huge, soft, and wasn't too sweet. Not to mention how cute and cozy it felt in there with all the wall art and photos. The guy working the register was really nice and clarified a few questions we had (regarding the Father's Day box and special). I wish this place wasn't so far away from us. The malasadas were a perf mini dessert to end my birthday lunch. :)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Is It a coffee shop?

    We do serve a custom coffee blend that is 100% Hawaiian and roasted to be paired for our malasadas. Available hot or iced. We have a standup counter for quick eats and a small bench inside and outside for those who prefer to sit. No actual tables…

Despite cooling down a bit, they stayed pretty warm (I still microwaved for good measure). These cookies are incredibly gooey, not at all cakey, and just sweet enough to still be flavorful. Infinitely surpasses the quality of chains like Crumbl. Great stop in Centennial Hills amongst several businesses. Even relatively walkable for Las Vegas. Sweet find!

My family and I have supported Suzuya since the very beginning, when the first location opened on Durango. We've watched the business grow over the years, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, today's visit was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had. I ordered a breakfast crepe, a curry cheese sandwich, a mango mochi, and a whole cake. The breakfast items were served without any fork or knife. When I asked for utensils, there was no effort to provide them. The mango mochi was also served without utensils. When I politely asked the staff member wearing the mask for a fork, she simply replied, "You don't need utensils." That response honestly surprised me. Mango mochi is sticky and messy to eat by hand. It wasn't about the fork itself--it was the complete lack of willingness to provide even the most basic customer service. The bigger issue was when I purchased a birthday cake for a friend. I was told there were no bags available for a 6-inch cake. However, I saw other customers receiving bags. I even asked, "If I buy two more cakes, making it three cakes total, would you be able to give me a bag? I only have two hands." The answer was still no. That response simply made no sense. What made the experience even more upsetting was how I was treated because I had my service dog with me. My dog is a professionally trained service dog--not a pet. He remained calm throughout the entire visit. He never barked, never approached anyone, never disturbed other customers, and simply laid quietly beside me. Despite that, I was questioned about whether he was a service dog, whether he had a service vest, and then told that because I had my service dog with me, we would have to sit outside. I found this extremely disappointing. My dog was behaving exactly as a trained service dog should, yet I was still directed outside solely because he was with me. I sincerely hope the staff receive proper training on how to respectfully interact with customers who rely on service animals. Every customer deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. After being directed outside because of my service dog and then repeatedly being refused basic accommodations that should have been simple to provide, it became difficult not to question whether my service dog influenced the way I was treated. I truly hope that wasn't the case, but it certainly felt that way. This isn't just my opinion anymore. Many friends have shared the same experience with me over the years: the cakes are excellent, but the customer service is consistently disappointing. People return because the desserts are amazing--not because of the hospitality. Sadly, it often feels like there's no warmth or genuine care for customers. I've always heard wonderful things about Mike, and from what I've seen, he seems like a genuinely kind person. I can't help but wonder how he would feel if he knew loyal customers were leaving with experiences like this. I'm usually not someone who complains or leaves negative reviews. It takes a lot for me to write something like this. But after years of supporting this business, I believe this experience needed to be shared. Suzuya truly makes fantastic desserts, and that's exactly why this review is so disappointing for me to write. Great products should never be an excuse for poor customer service. Loyal customers deserve to feel welcomed, respected, and appreciated--not dismissed.
