  The Hawaiian Donut Taking Over Loveland

  Jul 9, 202628 min

  Everyone knows Krispy Kreme. But there's a new donut in Northern Colorado, and it's nothing like the shelf-fresh kind you're used to. In this episode, we sit down with the owner of the Hawaiian Donut Company (partnered with Hawaii's Manuel's Malasadas) to talk about how a chance stop at a roadside food truck on the Big Island turned into a made-to-order malasada business in Loveland, Colorado. We dig into what makes a malasada different from a traditional donut, how the owner earned the right to represent a 100-year-old family recipe, and how a five-second grand opening video led to local news coverage and sold-out weekends within their first month. What You'll Learn: What a malasada is and how it differs from a traditional doughnut Why the recipe is intentionally less sweet — and how it's still used in savory dishes like pulled pork sliders The story behind partnering with Hawaii's Manuel's Malasadas, including the vetting process and the "ohana" mentality behind it How the business used social media and local press to grow fast in its first month What's next for the business, including gluten-free options and a possible Kona coffee partnership Chapters: Introducing the Hawaiian Donut Company What Makes a Malasada Different From a Donut The Backstory: Finding Manuel's Malasadas in Hawaii Earning the Recipe: The Ohana Vetting Process The Setup: Truck, Patio, and Lake Loveland Views Growth: Local News, Social Media, and Word of Mouth What to Expect When You Order Ordering Ahead: Website, Call, and Text Gluten-Free and Ingredient Questions What's Next: Coffee, Flavors, and Future Plans Resources Mentioned: Manuel's Malasadas (original Hawaii-based brand, Kona side of the Big Island) BizWest (local business publication that first covered the story) The Loveland Reporter-Herald (local newspaper) 9News (local news station) Contact & Links Mentioned: The guest noted the business can be found by searching "Hawaiian Donut Company" on Google, Yelp, Apple Maps, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
