Malasadas — fluffy Portuguese doughnuts without a hole — are wildly popular throughout the Hawaiian Islands. A crispy golden brown exterior gives way to a soft and chewy inside. Unfortunately, one of our favorite places to get malasadas on the island of Oahu, Agnes Portuguese Bake Shop, closed in 2018 after nearly 50 years in business. But this summer, the malasadas made a comeback at a newly-opened food truck of the same name. To say our mouths are watering at this news is the understatement of the century. 

Malasada fans of Oahu experienced a collective loss when Agnes’ Portuguese Bake Shop closed its doors back in 2018 due to increasing operating costs.

The iconic bakery had been a Kailua favorite for nearly five decades and sold nearly 150 dozen malasadas every day.
