I loved this malasadas the most during this trip! They fry malasadas after getting order it. That’s why it was still warm, and fluffy when I ate it. Delicious! Also the server was friendly! They gave me recommendations nicely. They don’t sell individually, and minimum box of 3 malasadas but It’s perfect for sharing style. The location is easy to access if someone looks for Hawaiian desserts or pastries!

Delicious and made to order malasadas! Customer service was excellent and friendly. I had three coconut cream malasadas that were made right after I ordered them and were served hot and fresh. An excellent treat in the morning before hitting the surf!

This shop is tucked away in a food court, so it flies under the radar in the morning - we passed by packed coffee shops on the way here and were surprised to find no lines. We got the coconut, adzuki, and ube creams. They came out super fresh and hot, and really delicious. The filling gets a bit runny so have napkins but it's so worth it! The coffee was also surprisingly good - get the vanilla mac. Probably one of the most affordable things in Waikiki, without sacrificing quality. The food court has plenty of seating and is open air so it was a pretty nice place to sit and enjoy. Service was also really great - we had a good conversation with the guy running the counter. Definitely give it a try

Freshly made malasadas are warm, light and fluffy, but not too heavy or greasy like fried pastries usually tend to be. They offer a nice choice of fillings like jam, ube, and custard, with a dusting of cinnamon sugar on top. Located on the 2nd floor food court of the Royal Hawaiian Center. Fast service had them ready within minutes.

OK, so I’ve tried all of the Malasadas and I’ve been to this place twice because it’s been amazing! The original custard the custard and Nutella is absolutely amazing. That’s the only two I would highly recommend if you had to choose. It would definitely go with the custard filled as my favorite one! And you’ll thank me later!
