Reviews Leonard’s Malasadamobile

We opted for the truck instead of the actual storefront, as we've seen the long lines at the bakery. This was only a 3-4 minute wait. We tried the Original, Custard, Dobash, and Haupia. THEY'RE ALL EXCELLENT!! I wish I had 2 stomachs. These fluffy, sweet, delicious little pillows are generously dusted with granulated cane sugar, and the ones with filling are even better. A mandatory stop if you're in the area!

This is my favorite Malasada place of all times! The food is amazing great prices and the service is real nice ! I recommend the original and the cinnamon! I feel like these 2 are the most popular malasadas. If you found this review, great! You should visit if you want to eat some warm snack !

These donuts were so yummy! I'm glad we took the time to stop. Cool birds hang around the truck to eat the crumbs! Lol. Added bonus to see them. 😄

Great local find for Malasadas! Just think of them as sweet, soft, fresh donuts. Each comes at about $2, and after looking at the menu, you're bound to find one you'll love. This came up on one of our all-day bus tours and was a nice surprise of a treat.

This is a better spot than the original store spot if you just want to try their malasada without spending an eternity in line. Service is good and the malasada are just sweet poison if you know what I mean.

Just so people know, there’s a Leonard’s malasada truck AND an actual brick-and-mortar Leonard’s bakery. See, I didn’t know that but it doesn’t mean the malasada didn’t taste good. Would there have been more options at the physical location? Probably. I ordered 3 of whatever they had on the truck menu. BIG MISTAKE. The malasadas are made fresh so they’re hot. Unless you plan to eat it as you buy it, don’t buy large quantities at once. They don’t taste good if they’re not hot and toasty. Otherwise, my preference were the ones with filling. I didn’t like the coconut filling too much, and the chocolate filled ones were weak, but the custard filled ones did not disappoint. The way they taste almost resembles a mochi donut if you’ve ever tried. Just has flavors you can taste.

Leonard’s is a classic on Oahu, and this food truck is a great way to enjoy the same quality Malasadas, usually without as big of a line. This is a great stop after your to Koko Head or on your way to the side of the island.

Yum! We tried the cinnamon and sugar, chocolate and custard. All were warm, fluffy and moist in the inside and the custard was excellent not too sweet! The chocolate was deliciously rich and chocolaty! Will be one of our stops each year when we visit!
