We'll, Leonard's does live up to their reputation for having hot and delicious malasadas. My only suggestion is for them to use paper bags instead of their pink plastic bags that continue to pollute the island that we all love and cherish. Let's preserve the aloha spirit by using paper bags instead đŸ€™

Back after several years and still just as I remembered. Brought my daughter to try this time. Order, wait and enjoy hot fresh goodness.

The malasadas are well worth the queue! We tried the plain as well as two filled ones and all of them were delicious.

It was a heart-warming experience. My father's name was Arsenio, also Portuguese.
The PĂŁo Doce was just delicious. It could have been perfect if the filling had been real homemade custard, but the malasadas were perfection.

Perfect texture, crunchy, crispy texture on the outside and doughy smooth texture on the inside. The filled ones were phenomenal! I was beyond thrilled with my expectations! I'm so glad that I stopped here in my experience with Hawaii! Thank you Leonard's!!!! Delicious đŸ˜‹đŸ€€

Life of Rolly

When visiting Oahu, several locals told me, “You can’t leave the island without trying Leonard’s Bakery!” — and wow, they were 100% right. This place truly lives up to the hype. From the moment you pull up and see the iconic pink boxes and the line of people waiting outside, you know you’re in for something special.

I ordered a few different malasadas to try — plain, chocolate, and guava — and every single one was incredible. But my absolute favorites were the chocolate and guava! The chocolate was rich and smooth inside that perfectly golden, pillowy dough, while the guava had the most delicious tropical tang that made it so unique. You can tell they’re made fresh to order — warm, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth soft.

Yes, the line can be long and parking can be a bit of a challenge, but the staff keeps things moving, and the sweet smell coming from the kitchen makes the wait totally worth it. My biggest tip: eat them while they’re hot and fresh — that first bite is pure heaven!

Leonard’s is one of those must-visit spots that completely lives up to its legendary reputation. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning fan, these malasadas are a little piece of Hawaiian magic you’ll be dreaming about long after your trip ends. Don’t miss it!
