These three businesses were featured on Connect Hawai'i last month. Learn more about this iconic Kapahulu bakery, unique nonprofit secondhand shop, and hands-on bee farm.
Leonard's Bakery
The iconic pink boxes and sugar-dusted Portuguese pastries (malasadas) are as iconic as the neon sign on Kapahulu Avenue. Leonard's Bakery is a long-time icon of Oahu's foodie scene. The bakery is still family-run and has expanded to include Malasadamobiles across Oahu. Today, malasadas come in a delicious variety of dustings and filling flavors while maintaining the original recipe!
Enjoy the sweeter things in life at 933 Kapahulu Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816.
Re-use Hawai'i
This innovative nonprofit gives home renovation materials, furniture, and more a second life.
Re-use Hawai'i steps in during the deconstruction phase to salvage and divert as many materials as possible. Items like lumber, chairs, tables, sinks, doors, frames, flooring, and fixtures can be found at a fraction of their original price. This process also creates jobs for individuals facing barriers to employment. Truly a win for everyone!
