So tasty the donuts are made fresh. They are piping hot ????. There is always a line but it is worth the wait. The donuts are made to order no where else will you get that. They have parking ????? but it can be packed. The original is light and fluffythe cinnamon is very similar. The macadamia nut filling is very good and tasty ????????????????

This was beyond my expectations. I?m not a sweet tooth person so I usually don?t like donut. Everyone told us to try it so we gave it a try. Oh mine! The malasadas puffs were so tasty. I had to dust off the sugar coating on the outside so I can fullyenjoy the whole donut. We got the guava, coconut and custard fillings. They were so good and I had 2 of them in one sitting. Wecame early in the morning at 5:40 and there was no line. I can see it will get busy during the day for sure. It?s worth it evenif you have to wait. There is a parking lot right in front of the store too.

The malasadas are very soft, freshly made, many flavors, and delicious ???? My kids and I loved them. We went about 9am during the week and waited about 5min in line and another 5 to get our order. It was pretty quick. They have other breakfast bites andcoffee options. Leonard?s bakery worth the wait!

Wow these are tasty. Couldn't resist getting one of just about each available option for the whole family. So far, I have tried the guava filled and the macadamia cream and these are heavenly, especially when warm as they are given to you. We arrivedaround 3:30 on a Friday and we waited a total of about 30 minutes from the line to order until pickup. Well worth the waitthough. Gonna enjoy these the next few days if they last that long!

Definitely worth the hype! The line was long but it moved fast, overall around 10 mins waiting time, plus there is a visitors parking lot. We got all the flavors, they were all so great. The Malasadas are crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on theinside, and they have a chewy light texture that?s so good when it?s warm???? The custard cream, macadamia and guava fillingsare divine! Cinnamon sugar is excellent as well, please stop by!
