Kako’s MALASADA CAFE

The signature “Kako” is a ring-shaped malasada, available for dine-in and fried to order in 5 minutes. The menu describes its texture as chewy yet melting, an unexpected combination that makes it an appealing choice when you fancy something beyond an everyday doughnut. You can also enjoy it freshly fried at the cafe.

One customer who has ordered malasadas to take away several times describes them as satisfyingly chewy but says they are neither greasy nor messy to eat, making them easy to enjoy. Another visitor called the dough soft and springy, and said they had brunch with 2 doughnuts and coffee. They particularly liked the chocolate cream, which they found not too sweet, and the coffee’s aroma also suited their taste.

The sugar-coated options include plain, cinnamon and coconut; cream-filled choices include custard, kinako cream and matcha with black beans. There is a straightforward sugar-dusted option alongside richer fillings, so it is easy to choose according to your preference. The dine-in-only Malasada Ball is made to order with a choice of caramel or chocolate sauce, and can be served with whipped cream or ice cream. The ice-cream sandwich is also dine-in only, with chocolate or caramel sauce.

The menu is not limited to sweets: Hawaiian hamburgers are available too, including a chicken fillet burger, chicken fillet cheeseburger and chicken fillet avocado burger. One visitor recommends the chicken. You could stop in for a malasada and coffee, or make a burger your meal and follow it with something sweet.

Kako’s MALASADA CAFE offers both dine-in and takeaway, with seating inside. Choose a freshly fried malasada to enjoy at the cafe, or take away a flavour you like. Start with a malasada, and add a burger if you are looking for a more substantial meal.
