1. Leonard’s Bakery, Oahu, HI
“Malasadas and pao-doce” beckons the towering drive-in sign. It’s the former—a pillowy, hole-less Portuguese donut—that has locals and tourists alike flocking to landmark bakery, Leonard’s. Fried-to-order and rolled in sugar with optional fillings (don’t skip the luscious coconut custard), the exceptionally light rounds are best consumed hot, even if the only place to eat them is in the perennially-crowded parking lot.
