On the Menu: Leonard’s Bakery in Honolulu

November 15, 2021 · Leave a Comment

From Portugal to Hawaii, their Malasadas are a MUST for your trip to Oahu.

I must admit, my first experience with Leonard’s Bakery was under the best possible circumstances. It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I was traveling with my husband, sister and three friends. As we were leaving Honolulu, my friend insisted we stop at Leonard’s for road trip sustenance. Never being one to turn down baked treats, of course I agreed. If you are wondering exactly what Malasadas are, their website has the best explanation.

“A malasada is a Portugese doughnut without a hole. We fry generously-sized balls of dough until it’s golden brown on the outside and light & fluffy on the inside.

We started making malasadas as part of the Portugese tradition for Shrove Tuesday back in 1953. Now, we make them continuously everyday. We are Hawaii’s original malasada™ bakery. “


There’s always a line out the door. That means you leave with a box of fresh and hot “donuts without a hole.” I’m no stranger to donuts. I have a substantial amount of comparisons in my culinary experiences. Without a doubt the pieces of sugar heaven that come from Leonard’s Bakery are at the top of my list. As far as road road trip snacks, they are the perfect accompaniment to the breathtaking drive up the coast of Oahu.



Once we arrived at our North Shore destination, our box was empty. Nevertheless, our stomachs and hearts were full and ready for the next adventure.

Happy New Year! Looking forward to #betterdays in Happy New Year! Looking forward to #betterdays in 2022 and reminiscing about good memories of past celebrations. *lessons learned*, you can’t say no to #homemade #vodka when you’re in #poland. Even though I look horrified in this photo, I was having the time of my life…riding up a mountain in a horse drawn carriage. Booze in one hand and a flaming torch in the other 🔥. Of course sitting next to my partners in #adventure @susanna_kirschnick  and @dagmara.mituniewicz made the experience one that I will never forget ❤️
