  The Leidenfrost phenomenon entails the levitation of a liquid droplet over a
superheated surface, cushioned by its vapor layer. For water, superhydrophobic
surfaces are believed to suppress the Leidenfrost point ($\it{T}$$_{\rm
L}$)-the temperature at which this phenomenon occurs. The vapor film obstructs
boiling heat transfer in heat exchangers, thereby compromising energy
efficiency and safety. Thus, it is desirable to realize superhydrophobicity
without suppressing $\it{T}$$_{\rm L}$. Here we demonstrate that the
$\it{T}$$_{\rm L}$ of water on microtextured superhydrophobic surfaces
comprising doubly reentrant pillars (DRPs) can exceed those on hydrophilic and
even superhydrophilic surfaces. We disentangle the contributions of
microtexture, heat transfer, and surface chemistry on $\it{T}$$_{\rm L}$ and
reveal how superhydrophobicity can be realized without suppressing
$\it{T}$$_{\rm L}$. For instance, silica surfaces with DRPs facilitate ~300%
greater heat transfer to water droplets at 200$^{\circ}$C in comparison with
silica surfaces coated with perfluorinated-nanoparticles. Thus,
superhydrophobic surfaces could be harnessed for energy efficient thermal
machinery.
