Leonard's Bakery
The flagship Kapahulu location serves freshly fried Portuguese malasadas and is one of Oahu's most famous dessert stops, opening early every morning.
The flagship location on Kapahulu Avenue is world-famous for its freshly fried malasadas—Portuguese doughnuts coated in sugar that are best enjoyed hot. They also offer filled versions called Malasada Puffs. The bakery operates primarily as a takeout shop, and lines can form during peak hours. Some reviews note that crowds are smaller around 10:00 on weekday mornings, while some 2026 diners suggest ordering in advance so your treats are ready and hot when you pick them up. Official prices are $2.25 for a classic malasada and $2.75 for a filled puff. In addition to the main bakery, the brand operates mobile food trucks (Malasadamobiles), including a location near the airport selling travel packs convenient for flights.
