LEONARD'S HOT AND FRESH MALASADAS

 HAWAII IS A STATE OF THE U.S.  LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL PACIFIC. LEONARD’S BAKERY IS WIDELY BELIEVED TO HAVE THE BEST MALASADAS IN OAHU AND HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE 1952. MALASADAS ARE PORTUGESE DONUTS THAT ARE FRIED AND COVERED IN GRANULATED SUGAR. IF YOU EVER VISIT OAHU YOU’LL WANT TO TRY THESE DONUTS.
​     ON MY VISIT TO OAHU I WAS CONVINCED TO VISIT LEONARD’S BY MY FAMILY. MY AUNT GENA ORTIS SAID, “THEY WERE DELICIOUS, SOFT, AND WARM WHEN I BIT INTO THEM”. LEONIDAS RAMONE CLAIMED,  “THEY WERE BOMB”. THESE ARE SOLD AT $1.30 EACH. ANOTHER FOOD WORTH TRYING IS THE HAM AND CHEESE WRAP. THIS IS ROLLED UP HAM AND CREAM CHEESE INSIDE OF BREAD GOING FOR $3.50 EACH.
    THE SHOP WAS SMALL AND THEY TOOK ORDERS REALLY QUICKLY, HOWEVER, THE WAIT FOR THE FOOD WAS LONG. ALTHOUGH WE WAITED 20 MINUTES FOR THE MALASADAS IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH IT BECAUSE THEY WERE REALLY HOT AND FRESH. THE MALASADAS WERE LIFE-CHANGING AND YOU WILL LIKE THEM AS WELL IF YOU ENJOY PASTRIES THAT AREN’T REALLY SWEET. ONE THING THAT I FOUND TO BE INCONVENIENT ABOUT LEONARD’S IS THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO WAIT FOR YOUR FOOD. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO SPACE TO SIT, SAVE FOR TWO BENCHES AT THE FACE OF THE BUILDING. I GIVE THIS BAKERY AN A+ FOR THE DELICIOUS FOOD AND IT’S GREAT SERVICE. LEONARD’S BAKERY IS LOCATED ON 933 KAPAHULU AVE, HONOLULU, HI 96816.
