Hawaii’s Beloved Agnes’ Portuguese Bake Shop Has Reopened As A Malasada Truck And We Couldn’t Be More Thrilled

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.

It’s safe to say we missed these tasty treats while they were gone, but no longer will we have to daydream about the mouthwatering malasadas sold here.

Churned out six days a week in a food truck that’s parked down the street from the original Agnes’ location, these malasadas are, in a single word, heavenly.

Freshly fried, lightly crispy, and slightly chewy, Agnes’ malasadas are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth with just one bite.

Whether you order a few single malasadas to enjoy yourself or pick up a dozen or two for your entire office, you won’t be disappointed. Just remember: always purchase more than you think you might eat, because we’re pretty sure you’ll want another one.

Oahu locals sure do love their malasadas, and those with good taste agree that Agnes’ Portuguese Bake Shop sells some of the best.

Agnes’ Portuguese Bake Shop is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in a Kailua parking lot and you can learn more on Facebook.
