Great Stop for a Malasada on a Tour around the Island

Average Rating
80

A Malasada is a Hawaiian Donut based on a Portuguese confection but really perfected in Hawaii. If you are driving through Waimea going across the north part of the island make this part of your trip.
Fun little gift shop and a place to eat outside where you can get a glimpse of the ocean miles away and several thousand...

Tex drive in has the best Malasades on the Big Island. I don't really know what they do different but it is worth the stop. We had the chocolate, bavarian cream and strawberry and loved them all. They have nice facilities and a good place to rest and enjoy during a trip to that side of the island

Try the malsadas...you won't be sorry

We had tried malsadas elsewhere on the Big Island but wanted to compare them to Tex's due to all the great reviews! These reviews were right....the malsadas we had at Tex's were so good and definitely the best!!! They were served warm, super tasty and cannot be beat! We tried the bavarian cream, chocolate and strawberry ones.

Don't miss the malasadas

Incredible donuts worth the drive any time of the day. We tried those from roadside vendors and there was no comparison.

Malasadas supreme

Stopped here on the way back from our zip-lining experience on Umauma Falls. My sister-in-law and brother recommended that we stop to try their warm, freshly made malasadas. We were not disappointed. The plain portuguese donuts, square-shaped without a "hole" were very tasty. The custard, chocolate, and guave-filled versions were excellent. This stop was well worth our time and tastes.

Everybody raves about this place's malasadas. The doughnut-like treats, served piping hot and rolled in sugar, are a favorite all over the islands, and general consensus is that no place makes them better than the folks at Tex. Other menu items include wraps, burgers and local-style plate lunches. This place used to be a favorite hole-in-the-wall for years, but now it has turned into a...
