Ono’s Malasadas

OUR STORY

While on their annual vacation to the Hawaiian Islands, Sophia Bussio and her family discovered Malasadas, a Portuguese fried sweet dough, a food staple in Hawaii. Sophia and her family saw the opportunity to bring the malasada magic to Provo. Excited to embrace the opportunity, the Bussios dove headfirst into the world of fried dough, later naming their new company “Ono’s Malasadas.”

OUR NAME

The name, a fusion of Hawaiian and Portuguese, encapsulates what a malasada truly is. “Ono” in Hawaiian means “delicious,” while in Portuguese, “Malasadas” translates to “bad dough” — a contradiction that perfectly describes the treat.

🎷 Springville Summer Concert: The Salamanders Party Band
Spring Acres Arts Park @ 8pm
If you want our suggestion then here it is: watch BYU v. SMU at your friend’s basement theater room at his/her house in Mapleton. During the 4th quarter sometime, hopefully BYU’s up big at this point, excuse yourself early and head to Springville to enjoy one of the last summer concert in the valley. (It might be the last, if we had time we’d check.)

Away game (Dallas) @ 5pm MDT
SMU is predicted to win this one, but they also haven’t won a home game against a power-conference team since 2010. Let’s keep that streak going.
