Masaladas donut and coffee shack
1 Puako Beach Dr, Waimea, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked along Waimea's roadside, this charming malasada shack delivers pillowy-soft Portuguese donuts filled to order with creative island flavors like ube cheesecake and lilikoi that punch well above food-truck expectations. The warm aroma hits you before you even park, and while the wait can stretch past 30 minutes, the dense, satisfying donuts paired with their specialty drinks make it the quintessential scenic drive pit stop on the North Shore.”

went here today! the donuts have great texture and flavor. we got 3 donuts for 16$ cash. Filling cost 1.75 each and 3 donuts were $11. We got: ube cheesecake, pineapple peach, and lilikoi. The ube one was filled well and was delicious, no notes. Unfortunately the pineapple peach and lilikoi barely had any filling. Maybe it was a fluke but for over 5$ per donut, that’s not ok. Also note there’s a credit card fee, not sure if there’s a sign but i asked and paid cash.
Order took at least 30 min if not more, and they weren’t great they were just ok. They look and smell delicious but if you’ve had Leonard’s these aren’t close. a bit yeasty and not as fluffy, the filling is a consistency of jam.
Absolutely amazing. One alone is so dense and will fill you up.
Great selection for this small cart on the side of the road! It’s a PERFECT stop for a drive around the island. Got energy spritzer, spam, and Malasadas! Tasty tasty yum yum
Little trailer attached to the truck. Smelled amazing as soon as you pulled in the parking lot. They fill the donut from the top-end. The donuts seem small, but are very decent and fulfilling. Best when hot and warm. Don’t burn your mouth though. We got a few different flavors. Some of popular ones and some of the flavors we like. We didn’t like the pumpkin and cheese. Our favorite was passion fruit with plum sugar and Nutella with cinnamon sugar.
