I have lived on Kauai for over 12 years, and I love the genuine warmth and friendliness that so many people living on this island absolutely proves that there is so much Aloha Spirit...that it's as if everyone you meet has been a dear friend for years. I have to say that if you want to meet some people who absolutely embody the Aloha Spirit...go to the ABC Store #58 (I had to look this up to make sure I had the correct store). The first time I went into this ABC Store, the cashier Ana, had the biggest most beautiful smile, and warmly welcomed me, was so genuinely joyful that she beamed with radiance...and I ain't kidding!! I'm physically disabled and have difficulty walking, and every time I go into that ABC store Ana is always beaming with Aloha Spirit...she is the ultimate embodiment of joy! You might think, well that's her job...but nope...that's all her! She even introduced me to the stores "HI-Chew expert" and he told me the secret to making the ultimate HI-Chew rainbow of flavors rope...and that was more impressive than I can even explain...and I'm not giving that secret away...you will have to ask him yourself. Everyone who I have met at ABC Store #58...have all been so helpful and so friendly...that this type of review would generally be for a small "Mom and Pop" store and not a large franchise. But, I had to let everyone know that even though the true Aloha Spirit can be found all over the island...Ana, the HI-Chew guy, and all the other employees deserve to be recognized for being themselves...and beaming with truly genuine Aloha Spirt...and just in case you think what I have just written isn't true...go inside and ask for Ana...after you see her big beaming smile and joyful personality...you will understand why I had to write this review!

This is one of the nicer ABC stores I've been to. Everything was organized very well and clean. It's a great place to stop for groceries, snackies, souvenirs, and gifts. I ended up buying a few things for myself and gifts. My fave was the beautiful seashell art hair clip I got. Very well made and looks amazing! Employees were all very nice as well. read more

An ABC store is always a must when visiting Hawaii! They have so many things from souvenirs, to Hawaiian coffee or rum, and all the essentials you may have forgotten while packing. I came here a few times and the store manager David was so friendly. Since it was right across the street from where we were staying, before heading to the airport, we were able to get some boxes of chocolate macadamia nuts to take home with us! read more

No trip to Hawaii is complete without a trip to the ABC Store! This location was right by our condo and super convenient. We were able to redeem a couple of rewards while we were here this time and also pick up some essentials during our stay. This particular store is a little on the smaller side, but we were still able to find everything we needed and a couple of treats while we were there. Super friendly employees as well! read more

If you want to get souvenirs and postcards, ABC store is the best place to go. I grabbed some magnets and dashboard Hulu dancer (much cheaper than other souvenir stores in Poipu and Koloa). We also got some Hawaiian Sun pancake mix (2 for $11). They also offer ABC store exclusive products like lilikoi flavor hi-chew. If you are in Kapa'a town, stop by here. read more

The ABC Store is the best bargain on the island. I may come here for wine before we go. Today we needed island post cards. And they have nice ones here and you get one free. A real deal. If I needed a island TEE shirt they have them as low as 6.00 and they are nice. Maybe come back as a gift. read more

Who does not love the ABC Store when you are in Hawaii? I bought the Best Hawaii cap here--and the prices! OMG! $7.00 for a great quality Hawaii Cap! Where else do you get a cap for $7.00 and that was one of the more expensive ones. And here you can get Macadamia Nuts, Luggage Tags, Tee Shirts, Underwater cameras, Drug Store stuff, and so many other things. Easy free parking in front. read more

This manager is a complete liar and an embarrassment to this establishment. Sharlene swore that she accepts refund policies on snorkeling gear which was the whole reason why we bought these items.(the Mexican woman in the burgandy polo is the manager) is having her workers lie, promising customers that there is a refund policy when in fact there is not. The gear that we got was defective and was not usable and when we came back to return the items the next day with the reciept she said that we aren't allowed to return those items??? read more

Best deals for fun gifts to bring back to your people. Great choices for chocolates and Tshirts.

I love ABC stores! First time I shopped at one was last year in Maui and I was amazed with how much their stores offer in shopping experience. I wish we had these back home in California because they are seriously awesome. You can buy gifts for the whole family, we always shop at ABC because it's fairly affordable and has everything you might need. They have tons of souvenirs to pick from like tshirts, rashguards, mugs, jewelry, keychains, bags, toys etc. They also sell liquor, candy, sunblocks, snorkel gear, sandals, food, water. Save your receipts! For every $100 you spend you get a free gift (you can choose from a coffee mug, calendar or reusable bag). read more

Was able to locate a few liscensed Sanrio - Hello Kitty and Friends souvenirs! Pretty reasonably priced. This was also the only place I was able to find an original bottle of Coca Cola on the island read more

Surprisingly, one of the few ABC Store locations on Kauai! Parking is limited, but the inside is just as big and well stocked as any other location! ABC is always one of the best places to grab Hawaiian souvenirs, snacks, and wine! Hungry? Then grab a steaming hot musubi from the warmer! Just wished there were more locations on this island!! read more

This place is perfectly positioned to BYOB for the BBQ joint next door: https://www.yelp.com/biz/paniolo-santa-maria-style-bbq-kapaa Unfortunately, the beer selection is pretty sub-part. Not that many truly local picks. Service is still very friendly, and they have the usual knick-knacks you've come to expect from ABC. They even had instant Kona coffee...something I never thought I'd end up buying in my life but...it actually happened! (ran out of camping coffee, long story) read more

ABC Stores can be found at all the Hawaiian islands. They are a great place to look for some souvenirs. I was mostly here to look for some Hawaiian flavored hi-chews and I found them. read more

If you want a quick snack come in and grab whatever you need for whatever the occasion is.Its convenient and they have snacks and drinks.MAHALO!!! read more

This place has got EVERYTHING for reasonable prices: beer, wine, liquor, candy, food, juices, souveniers, condoms, medicine, clothes, shoes, magazines, gyros, bitches, douchebags, ponies, cigarettes, cigars, weed, unicorns, alpacas, children, meth, cocaine, leprechauns, angels, and much much more!

We stopped in here to look for Hawaiian shirts for me. There was a good selection, but not exactly what I was looking for so I passed. But this store has tons of souvenirs, t-shirts, snacks and food. Prices are reputed to be more reasonable than at other stores. The TV commercial motto applies: "Shop me first, shop me last, but check me out." read more

Wow, mahalo, ABC. Following a poor experience with a faulty electronic accessory I purchased at this store -- which I was told was non-refundable -- I did what any frustrated consumer would do, I penned a review. The company immediately responded and asked that I call the store and ask for the manager, Leann. It took me a couple of calls, but I did indeed speak with Leann, who was apologetic and kind, and immediately refunded the cost of the purchase, tax included. She even thanked me, stating that if I hadn't written the review, they wouldn't have been aware of the problem. So here's hoping Leann trains staff to state that faulty accessories can be returned, and here's a couple more stars for the great follow-up. read more

Best place to buy souvenirs! Same stuff as all the other stores but half the price. Friendly staff. They'll try to upsell you but that's their job. read more

Update: I was contacted in comments below with info that I may have the wrong ABC store. I have reached out to them and am looking into the correct one at which time I will be erasing this review and putting it in the right place! 5 stars for the store itself, 1 star for the coffee place. So we were just in Kauai for a few days staying at the Kauai Shores just around the corner. The first day I got a very tasty ice blended. It was awesome! The next day I ordered a large mocha latte w 1/2 the sugar. It was really, really bad. It was very watery, like a thinned out drip coffee. It was not okay enough to drink it so my friend convinced me to go back in and let them know. While I stood in line I thought, how can I remedy this?! I figured I would ask for the drink I got the day before in a smaller size so it was actually less money than the large latte. I walked up and let the guy behind the counter know that I was hoping to exchange it. He gave me that look of "OH GOD IT'S ONE OF THEM". He said he didn't know that they could do that and called over someone who I assume was the manager. She said "you asked for 1/2 the sugar so I can put more syrup in if that's what you want". The issue wasn't that it wasn't sugary though.. it's that it was meant to be coffee and it was crazy watery (I really don't think it was espresso but that's neither here nor there at this point). I said thank you, no, I didn't want more syrup, I would just prefer a different coffee and I had a great one the day before. She walked away and the guy said they could not do it. I thought I must be mis-hearing so I reiterated that I was not asking for my money back, I was looking for an exchange for a lessor valued coffee, and he said no. So I just left the coffee on the counter and we eventually found a coffee shop on our travels. There area few issues here. #1, the way I was made to feel by asking. #2, the fact that they said no. You could see how watery it was when I took the top off (although at 1st I tried to avoid saying why I wanted to exchange as I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings). Seems like bad business to not do an equal or lessor value exchange. #3, that they seemed unconcerned about helping me out when the coffee was EIGHT DOLLARS. Full disclosure, it was a large and I used soy which adds $ but for my coffee and my friend's it was a $16 and change. We all know things are expensive in this market but for something like an $8 coffee it was really disappointing that they didn't help me out at all and had serious attitude about it. The attitude made me wonder if maybe people from the mainland are just jerks (as they seemed to be assuming I fell into that category)? I don't know. But it was a bummer. The store itself is cute and full or touristy stuff I fully admit I fell pray to buying lol. ... In case anyone from the store is reading this and wants to know who I am talking about, this was the morning of December the 3rd. read more

I was on my quest in locating a specific item. And now it is over, thank you ABC store I knew I could depend on you. They got it in and gave me a call. Went down and picked it up. Sweet lady behind the counter, I gave her my appreciation for contacting me. Thank you so much! Located in the main town of Kapaa with easy parking. It's a nice, clean, and well stocked store. Thank you for being open during this pandemic. read more

A must stop for those gifts to bring the grandkids. $5.99 t-shirts or 2 for $20. Toys, sundries, snacks. Post cards are .25 ea. Go to Walmart for Kauai cofee or macadamias as they are cheaper there. Save your receipt and get a free mug or reusable bag when you spend over $100 commulative. read more

Love ABC stores--their selection, staff and specials. Clean, well stocked and a good place for single sodas or drinks, oh, and t-shirt special: 4 for $20! Aloha! read more

Generally these stores are good, but I just went to the one in Kapaa to buy food before heading to the airport and it expired in July. Check the dates, you don't want expired food especially in a rush! read more

We went in for four Kauai trucker hats. (A great deal at 2/$12.) We left with six Kauai trucker hats, two flower hair clips, two kukui nut leis, chocolate covered macadamia nuts, toothpaste, and maybe a few other things I'm forgetting. So ABC Stores are basically the Target of Hawaii. read more

ABC Stores are rarer in Kauai than on other Islands. I was pleased to see that there was a location within walking distance from where I was staying at. This ABC Store is located next to Starbucks, and shares the same plaza as Safeway and Longs Drugs. ABC Stores tend to carry a range of items from food and drinks, alcohol, souvenirs (shot glasses, key chains, t-shirts, hats, etc.), sandals/flip flops, sunscreen, tanning lotion, and more! I would recommend going to the ABC Store over Longs Drugs for souvenirs because the prices are more affordable, and they have a better variety of products. On a side note, if you are looking to buy chocolate covered macadamias/souvenirs in BULK... I recommend going to Costco instead! This location was clean, well stocked, and not overly crowded. The cashier was friendly and always reminded me to save my receipts. You get to choose a free gift if you purchase more than $100. read more

Reliable source for value priced everything for your vacation needs. Outside Costco and Walmart, you can still get OK prices without making that long drive as these stores are scattered around HI. Avoid the way overpriced tourist areas that gouge you. Here is a good acceptable standard to look for your essentials in terms of prices (be wary that there are lower prices but this is the max I think one should pay): 1) Boogie Boards: $15 - $17 2) Hawaiian chocolate covered nuts and gift packs: $3 to $6 depending on size. 3) Snorkel gear: $6 cheaper $10 higher quality. 4) Aqua shoes: $8 to $10 5) Goggles: $5 to $9 6) Board shorts: $20 7) Tee shirts/tank tops: $5 to $10. 8) Sandals: $6-7 9) Beach Mats: $2 max! You get the drift. So be smart and head here for your gear. More money to spend on food, drinks and gas! read more

How could I have forgotten this store from the last time we visited Kauai. This is the place to find some good finds for souvenirs. You can find great prices and cool things here, I even bought a couple things for myself! I found some Hershey's Macadamia Nut Kisses that I brought back for my work to share and for the chocolate lover's in the family. I'll have to remember this place when I return to Kauai. Great prices and cool finds. As mentioned from the other Yelper's, the employees are very friendly. This store can be seen from the main street, but because there is so much to see on this street you can miss it if you are not looking for it. I would definitely return here to shop. read more

Nice convenient store with off street parking good location. For early birds their hours were much more open then most of the rest of the island . read more

staff is friendly, store is clean, variety of options, parking lot, price is moderate to expensive.

This ABC store has everything that every other one has, but is better organized and offers a better selection of clothing for all of your touristy needs. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and they had some cool trippy rock music playing, which means they get that fifth star. read more

I love ABC stores. It wouldn't be a good trip to HI without a stop off at an ABC store. Anything you could possibly want to bring back to family and friends, you'll find at an ABC store. Aloha shirts, hats, chocolate covered macadamia nuts (a must for the office upon return, they go nuts over those! :)) Forgot some toiletries? ABC has you covered. Need some liquor? ABC's got you. Forgot your ibuprofen for the day after cocktails? ABC has you covered. We stopped on this particular trip to pick up some trucker hats. A friend of a friend recommended we should do it so, what the hell. We each got one or three. Warning: read the writing on the hats to ensure Kauai is spelled correctly, one hat read "Rauai." OOPS. One thing you must pick up at an ABC store is a melona bar. It's a creamy Popsicle bar that is simply heaven in each bite, in my humble opinion. Some ABC stores sell spam musobi, not my favorite place to get this. We got everything we needed, plus a whole lot more! The ladies at the checkout counter were super sweet. Overall, a great stop. read more

This is the first time ever that I've come to an ABC Store and didn't buy anything. Usually, they have some stuff that looks enticing - and it's so cheap! But no today, nothing. Wanna know why? Because Kmart (on this island anyway) is a much better place to go for tchochkes and island gifts. Their selection is bigger, and their prices are better. Sorry ABC, I'll always remember you fondly - but when I'm in Kauai I'll go Kmart. read more

ABC Stores are a Hawaiian Convenience Store chain that strikes me as a cross between 7-11 and a tourist souvenir shop. The prices are nice too and they're open long hours. I stopped in several times during our recent Kauai stay for wine, snacks, toiletries, reading material, and several things I've already forgotten about. Staff was always helpful, friendly, and welcoming. read more

Good prices Nice selection of hats, shirts, thongs, water shoes etc Chocolate and nuts are priced well and of good quality Check out staff was friendly and attentive. read more

We are staying within walking distance, and they have Hawaiian bottled water for a better price than the grocery stores. They open fairly early and close fairly late. Local rum is only $1 more than Safeway, and there are lots of (relatively) cheap things in there. The employees are really nice. Like everyone says, they carry a little bit of everything. Once you spend $100 total ("save your receipts" they tell you), you get a free thing, either a mug, a shopping bag (including Hello Kitty for those fans), or something else I forget. I looked for a unicorn based on Chun's review, but I guess they were temporarily out. read more

My sister-in-law said that ABC Stores were going to be my best friend in Hawaii. She didn't lie! I was so excited to go to ABC Stores that I requested a catalog to prepare myself. It did not disappoint. I wanted to go every day! And while I didn't make it every day, I did go more days than not. Some people complained that the prices were high... I found them to be reasonable and was fine spending the money I did. Everything is expensive in Hawaii, get over it. And I did save my receipts and I did get TWO free gifts for the amount I spent and I was happy to receive them. some reviewers have complained that the gifts they could receive from saving their receipts aren't worth it. Shut up! I don't see any other place offering to give you free stuff if you spend money there. And while the gifts aren't bars of gold, they're nice gifts that you wouldn't have received otherwise. Let us not act like entitled brats, okay? the best part about this particular location is the store manager, Leeann. She was working every time I went in and she always remembered me. She's super friendly and so nice and I think I almost had her convinced to adopt me so I didn't have to come back to Missouri! I'm still waiting for the custody hearing, Leeann!! She is amazing and if I could give six stars, I would just for her! read more
