The donuts at this place were amazing and came out super hot. There was a decent line and no parking which should have been frustrating but the end product was totally worth it. We got a dozen for 2 people and were in a little over our head but kept some for later.
The portugese donuts that they sell at Leonard's are just out of this world! I really like the one filled with bavarian cream or the coconut custard but they are all delicious! Waiting in line is worth it and eat them on the spot while they're hot.
If it's busy, that's a good thing. Stood in line but it went pretty fast. Tried all 4 malapia puffs, hot, sugar messy and worth the wait. Also had the Long Johns for breakfast the next morning. Still fabulous even after spending the night in the fridge. Ya gotta try it.
Holy Cow! This place is amazing. Malasadas are a must-try when in Honolulu! Rotating flavors, along with the standard sugar and cinnamon, you have to try them all. Best warm and Fresh, right out of the oven. Don't waste time shipping these home, they are too good to wait for! Do your self a favor and stop by for a...

Definitely the bakery to visit if you're looking to experience Honolulu's oldest malasadas shop. There malasadas are island renowned.
Ok, so plain (unfilled) malasadas are just small glazed donuts - pretty "meh" for me (but great if you are a glazed donut fan). I'd tried malasadas at a well-know place on Maui & they were out of custard filled ones. So, fine but nothing special for me. But, not wanting to write off malasadas without trying filled ones, I...

So glad that some local icons manage to survive and thrive even after decades. The place hasn't changed much from the time I was a kid, so It's an authentic experience coming here and standing in line for those delicious malasadas. A simple, yummy affordable treat day or night.
A malasada is a Portuguese fried dough ball. Fried dough is always delicious, but Leonard's took it to the next level. I tried both the standard (no filling) and their regular custard creme filling. And the next day, I went back for me. If you want to know what a malasada is, go no place else.
