Top 5 Malasadas on Oʻahu

Top Tier EditorialSourcesHonolulu MagazineHAWAIʻI Magazine

  1. 1

    Leonard's Bakery

    Kapahulu

    HAWAIʻI Magazine's #1 Oʻahu pick — the 1952 Kapahulu bakery that introduced Hawaiʻi to the malasada. Plain sugar is the canonical order; haupia and macadamia fills are the splurges.

  2. 2

    Pipeline Bakeshop & Creamery

    Kaimukī

    HAWAIʻI Magazine's Oʻahu #2 — cinnamon, coffee and li hing sugar coats, plus the malamode (malasada stuffed with ice cream) the shop spent 100 dough batches dialing in.

  3. 3

    Agnes' Portuguese Bake Shop

    Kailua

    Honolulu Magazine's ultimate guide calls Agnes' the most traditional Portuguese malasada in the state — crispy shell, soft interior, plain white sugar, the original recipe preserved after the 2018 closure and food-truck relaunch.

  4. 4

    Penny's Waikiki Malasadas

    Hauʻula

    Honolulu Magazine's North Shore pick — light, easy-to-devour malasadas with rotating seasonal flavors, the reason the detour past Kualoa gets made.

  5. 5

    100 Sails Restaurant & Bar

    Waikīkī

    Honolulu Magazine's high-concept pick — taro malasada ice-cream sandwiches with pastry cream and vanilla bean, a hotel-brunch riff that still tastes like the real thing.
