I love Leondards Bakery. For those who don't understand the power of their malasadas, I don't know what to say. I grew up with them and trying to find something comparable on the mainland is impossible. It's not a donut, it's a malasada. Personally I just like them plain without any filling, but taste is subjective. Try it! more

I walked quite a ways to Leonard's expecting to try something unique and delicious, but what I found was a typical donut shop like every other donut I have ever tried, except without a place to sit down but the dirty curb in the parking lot. The malasadas are HUGE and way overstuffed with filling that even after eating just... more

Malasadas served warm and very yummy. Guava-filled not as good as plain or cream-filled. This is an average bakery with nowhere to sit (that I could see) and is therefore great for a sweet treat instead of a sit-down coffee house experience. more

With all the hype this bakery receives on this site I was expecting to be tasting a little bit of heaven when I bit into my Malsalda.. but honestly neither my husband or I understood what all the hype was. It was good, but this seemed like you're average bakery to me. We got a few other treats which I... more

If you are staying in Waikiki you will need to drive to get here but it is worth a stop. We stopped for breakfast on the day we rented a car and toured the Island. We were there by 9: 00 am on Sunday and didn't have a long wait at all. The Malasadas are warm and so yummy! Pick... more

We went on a Friday morning around 8:30 and just avoided a huge crowd of tourists. Great cream filled and chocolate filled. Served warm! Also tried the chocolate macaroons and Portugese sausage inside sweetbread (like pigs in a blanket). All of that for 2 people for under $10! They have many other pastries and cookies to choose from. Don't travel... more
