Experience Hawaiian Traditions at Aloha Jay's
Owner of Aloha Jay’s, Jay Losagio says that after the passing of his father, he was determined to fulfill his final request and open a malasada shop. Visiting Hawaii more than 13 times, Losagio fell in love with the beauty, culture and food. “During the third trip there, I had my first malasada, and was hooked!” he says. “In 2011, I took my dad with me to Oahu, and he ate three malasadas in one sitting. He used to joke with me, hey, why don’t you open a business up that serves these in PA?” It took Losagio two and a half years and over 353 batches to perfect the malasadas that he serves in Hellertown today. “There was a lot of aloha put into this and I feel that is a big reason why Aloha Jay’s has been received well thus far,” he says.
