Driving on the Kamehameha Highway to the North Shore, Jamie W. and I felt a need for a pitstop, and…read morethis convenience market and lunch counter was a satisfying find, especially just before we hit the exorbitant prices at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We didn't take advantage of the tempting Hawaiian specialties they offer like the Loco Moco Omelette since we had garlic shrimp ahead of us. However, snacks and a Diet Coke were inevitable purchases as carefree chickens pranced in the parking area. Wait, Kaya offers furikake garlic chicken on the menu. Oh... RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

The Market... I…read moreremember going with mom as this being the place to go for meats and everything we craved for as it's filled with all sorts of vendors packed with shoppers most knowing exactly what they wanted cramming in getting their shopping done. The vibe here is still the same though many vendors has evolved over the years and yes you can still purchase some fresh produce and veggies along with meats from Sing Hing Market there is also Morning Catch where it seems like the place for poke bowl that I have yet to try. I just love a place that makes it nice to shop and get things done in one area as the aisle are big enough to move around when it gets crowded and shop at ease which is fun to explore and see what you're able to find. Thank you!

That's right, yes I take a photo of my mango's, and I stare at it every once in a while, that is…read morehow much I love mangos! But they are difficult to find, so I come here to Oahu Market during mango season. Prices range from 5.99 - 4.99 a pound. Mango's are perfectly ripe and super delicious. Of course street parking is a challenge, best to start early in the morning, and the crowd, lot's of people! bring walking shoes.

Been going since I was a kid now my kids go! Awesome people great drinks recommend the açaí drink…read morebut you can only get it when Aunty is in. All the snacks are great they also take ebt if you have!

The store is located to the left of Times, in the corner. Plenty of parking and a beautiful view of…read morethe mountains. That's the only reason I gave 2 stars. Customer service is terrible. I'll explain later. Before we even went to the location, we yelped it. We saw they had Açaí bowls and shaved ice. When we walked up to the store, the front window had all the items that was "available." I'll post the picture. When we walked in, we asked the older man if we could have 2 Açaí bowls. He yelled and said it's not açaí bowls, it's only the bottom part...NO FRUITS! My daughter pointed at the picture that had an açaí with fruit, right behind the old man. He said no fruits!! Ok fine, so we are still getting charged $8.60 for a medium size cup of only the açaí and no fruits? That's pretty expensive. Even the very best açaí bowls with fruit aren't that much!!! So we decided on the shaved ice, he said we don't sell shaved ice here! Now I'm really confused. Maybe they use too. But all the Yelpers/customers had pictures of shaved ice and açaí bowls. Our 4 girls decided on the ice cream that was in the deep freezer by register. The older lady kept shutting the freezer door on my girls because they took too long to decide. It's not like the ice cream was going to melt in 30 seconds, but whatever. Never again will I come here! The pictures I posted are of the front windows. Each picture, I zoomed in closer so you can finally see the "sign" that says no açaí bowls! I circles it in red. They definitely need to update pictures inside and out as well as the yelp account.

Shopping and dining in Kailua Town, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. My neighbor and I drove over to the Kailua Farmers' Market for an early dinner. We parked for free (by Longs Drugs) before the opening time of 4pm on a Thursday to get easier parking... because half of the Farmers' Market uses the covered parking area and the other half is in the open part of the parking lot... in the sun (and rain). There was a variety of food and beverage vendors and maybe two stalls with fresh produce. There was mellow live music and a calm crowd. It's in a nice paved area with friendly vendors! It happens only 3 hours a week, so schedule it in your planner!

Love this Thursday night market in Kailua! Lots of food stalls as well as the farmers' food…read morestalls. We try to go every week to get pig and lady as well as Italian (cooked in front of us), mangoes, jelly, etc. Live music with children dancing makes us smile. Nice family event

I had just finished my workout at UFC, and I was like, oh...cool, there's a Down to Earth next…read moredoor. I sometimes go to the one in Kaka'ako after my workouts there. This one looks a little bigger. One of the great things is once you've ordered from DTE, you're in the system, so when I entered my number, everything I've ordered came up. It was easy to select one of my last orders, the Emergen-C, and just the way I like it with added ginger and tumeric. I will have to add that they are consistent! Taste just like the one in Honolulu...LOL! The staff is really friendly! I look forward to coming here in the future! They also have some great products that don't cost an arm and a leg like at Whole Paycheck. Maybe I should visit all of them now! :) Mahalo Down to Earth Kailua!

It's good to see the plants in person so you know how the condition is before purchasing. Was able to find what we were looking for and was able to enjoy the rest of the market! Really cool place to walk around and it was in a covered area - so even if it rains you're good.

Lots of friendly associates with smiles & quality items for sale. I found a wonderful hand made bracelet for my daughter and enjoyed local grinds by da Chef V in the dark green Food Truck.

Super HAPPY that Nice To CU is now OPEN as this will be their 3rd location and is close by to me…read more I can just walk over here and splurge all the convenience store food items which is also my favorites!! I happen to be in the area and had about 15 minutes to check out the store quick before my 3 pm appointment nearby. Cute little store, very organized and has all of the good stuff I LOVE. Location: Kapahulu, next complex over to Leonard's bakery. parking lot really needs to be repaved and parking may be a problem since spots are shared with other businesses. They are located in the corner left, look for the colorful green and purple logo. CU Hawaii is a Korean convenience store chain with over 18,000+ stores across South Korea. I am so happy they are doing business here, save me from visiting Korea which I don't know when I can ever visit. I love convenience store especially a Korean version of it, the kind I see on reels from Korean and now yay its opened up here. The store is like a Korean 7-11, so neat and organized. So much goodies, ramen, snacks, musubi, Korean street foods, packaged bento, sweets, chips, drinks, kimbap, sandwiches, many more even gift items and facial care too! I loved the Ramyun library of packaged noods, so many different kinds,- this is my weakness, which I have to limit eating ramen package once a month. So cool to purchase your ramen and eat it there. One thing missing is the ramen topping section. I Loved that they have the ice cups for the packaged drinks. They had two specials during my visit and not sure when the sale will end per cashier, BOGO on the package udon and rice cake and free bag of snacks with sandwich purchase. For this visit I just got the egg salad sandwich $4.99 and got a package of chocolate churro snack for free, great deal! I enjoyed the egg sandwich, the bread is soft, a little sweet and egg creamy. Nice to CU, maybe I'll CU over here & is going to be my new addiction, great addition to local community. *Note to self- I want to try everything but I have to not go too crazy, this is for reals, story of my life. haha.

Woohoo! CU opened their third location on Oahu. It's the Korean 7-11. It's about the same size as…read morethe downtown one. This one actually sells slushy. They have Coke, Jolly Rancher Green Apple, Sour Patch Kids and Jarritos Mandarin. I opted for the Mango Banana Kale Smoothie $4.99. You pay for it first, then take it to the machine to have it blended. I also got three of the drinks in the pouch ($1.99 each) that you put over ice. From the warmer near the checkout, I picked up a Beef Bugogi Gimbap $6.59. They were all yummy. My favorite drink from those pouches is the green grape. CU is known for making your own ramen. After you purchase it; you can get a bowl, put water and stick it in their microwave. They sell a wall full of ramen and a shelf full of cup ramen. From May 24 - June 4 you can win tickets to see BTS in concert. Wish me luck! If you win, please take me. Thanks!
