Show details What's your take?Leonard founded Leonard's Bakery in 1952. Leonard and his wife Margaret were no strangers to hard work, both coming from very large families. The bakery prospered. Not long after opening, Leonard's mother suggested making malasadas for Shrove Tuesday - a Portuguese tradition. Although thinking it may be too ethnic, Leonard's bakers complied. Malasadas were a huge hit. And, the appetite for malasadas in Hawaii was born. Due to Leonard's popularity Leonard required a larger, more modern facility, moving into their present location at 933 Kapahulu Avenue in 1957. Leonard Jr. is keeping the tradition alive with new creations like the Malasadamobile®, Malasada Babies™, Pao Doce pups™ and Malasada Puffs™. Today you will find malasadas as an exotic dessert in many fine restaurants.

"Best dessert in town and less than $1! What could be better. I love Leonards but I also love Champions Bakery for the same reasons."
