Tucked away among…read morewarehouses not far from Costco and the airport, it's easy to miss--but I always make a point to stop here and bring home mochi as souvenirs for family. It never disappoints! They make some of the softest, pillowy mochi you'll ever have. Their most popular is the chi chi dango, individually wrapped like little candies. But don't miss the lychee, lilikoi, and Melona flavors either!

Their candies also seem to be pretty fresh. I probably spent over $50 in snacks to bring back and there hasn't been one that I didn't like yet. But they range from about $7-$9 a bag. It's good checking out if you are looking for snacks and want to gift anything. The people working there were nice and parking was easy since they have their own lot.

Fred Astaire - Cheek to Cheek Lyrics Music started to play in my mind as I entered this store. I wanted to dance the aisle and sing the song out loud as I explored the 18,000-square-foot store. It's a sweet tooth lover like me.....Heaven. This place is humungous. You will find something to please everyone's sweet tooth, from gummies, hard candy, chocolate, Pez, Pop Rocks, candy novelties, and more. I wish they had a Hawaii section where you can create your own mix of wet Li Hung Mui, lemon peel, Li Hung powder... and mix it with whatever candy you want. Having a section for local candy suppliers to shine or possibly pop-ups would be amazing. Discount: 10% off for military Location: Located on the fourth floor of Ala Moana. Photos: So many cute Hawaii-themed photo ops displays for your social media. Parking: Park by Target in the Mauka Wing and walk through. Service: Staff was positioned throughout the store. Everyone was nice. The cashier helping me was extra nice. He persuaded me to sign up for a free membership. Overall, a great place to please your sweet tooth.

Operating over 100 locations, it offers an immersive "retailtainment" experience featuring pop-culture merchandise, giant candy items, and, notably, the world's first 3-story candy department store at American Dream in New Jersey. Yaaaas, we love us an IT'SUGAR! I've been to the one in Las Vegas and in Glendale (Arizona) and now I can add Honolulu to the list. I'll be honest and say I had no interest coming in at first but I saw they had a Sour Patch Kid sign outside and I walked in under the pretense that they were having a themed section for one of my favorite candies. They did not. Womp womp. Nonetheless, it was fun looking at all their fun offerings.

Conveniently located in Ward near Consolidated Theaters and Whole Foods, there are ample free parking within the block.

Great place to pick up local snacks for omiyage and gift giving outside of Hawaii, as well as treats for yourself. Highly recommend!

Kind of junk that you have to pay for parking especially because crackseed nowadays is also not cheap anymore so it's almost like a treat to be able to have it every so often. When we got there, there was quite a few people in there especially for a week day. We looked around, picked up some snacks, and saw cute little bags of snacks that you could buy for favors. And then checked out and also ordered our icee floats. You can get any flavor ice cream in your float. And you can also add lihing powder to it which is what my boyfriend did. Nice staff, clean in the inside, organized. Definitely someplace I would come if I'm needing a crackseed fix or an icee float and I'm in town.
