My Notes: Do you want to know what they will be serving in heaven? Cinnamons pancakes with guava chiffon syrup. Locals told me about this place, it is still not too touristy. Voted top 15 pancakes in the United States.
My Notes: Leonard’s Bakery is a very popular Hawaiian bakery. They make malasadas which is a Portuguese doughnut without a hole. They fry these balls of dough until they are golden brown on the outside and light & fluffy on the inside. Check out the reviews on google and yelp cus people just love these things. Located 1 mile from WAIKIKI. Ive seen people walk from WAIKIKI to it they love it that much.
