this morning's case

Get there before the trays empty.

Malasadas are the headliner, but the case fills up with manapua, cinnamon rolls, apple turnovers and butter mochi too. When it's gone, it's gone, and it usually goes.

The line starts before we open.

Same recipes, same faces behind the counter. Locals swing by on the way to work, visitors find us through the food court doors, and everybody leaves with a warm box. That is the whole plan.

Easily some of the best malasadas I've ever had. Pillowy dough, filled to the brim.
