    Super friendly and convenient over on windward side. Small little store but has most essentials. Plus a really nice coffee store right there. Has food and supplies.

    Acai

    Stayed on the windward side for a week and basically got all our breakfast from this place! Loooved all of them. Acai bowls everyday. And takeout poke for lunch on the beach :)

    Celery, fried chicken and my partially eaten spam and egg musubi. Great buys including the Sacred Falls Honey!

    Love this family store in Punaluu. Came to the coffee shop at 8 am this morning because it's under new management and has a new name called Coffee Cove Hawai'i (formerly Keao's Coffee). Stopped in the store to buy spam musubi that includes egg & daikon (this one sells out by 9 am), maki sushi (so fresh and ono), butter mochi, fried chicken, celery. So nice to get all this in one place PLUS great Coconut Vanilla Latte with almond milk, Matcha Latte, Mocha Macadamia Nut Latte, and an Acai bowl! Great service and really nice lattes, right in Punaluu!

    Drinks and butter mocha

    The brownies here are awesome!! $1.50 for a brownie that would easily be $7 in Canada. Good assortment of drinks. They sell butter mocha- it's my first time trying it and it's pretty good w respect to the flavour, but I found the texture a bit grainy. That being said, I don't know what makes a good butter mochi. The brownie cookies were also excellent.

    Charming Mom & Pop family store with the sweetest owners. They made our family Sunday picnic perfect with all their Ono bento items, salmon special, fresh sushi, & Samurai for the kids. Just across the highway is also the most picturesque beach spot. Couldn't ask for a better spot to enjoy some relaxing family quality time. Love local businesses like this one for all the love and pride that goes into keeping their store thriving. Will definitely make this spot a regular visit for our Ohana. Hope visitors and kama'aina alike continue to support this locally-owned, locally loved store/eatery.

    #Grateful for the Fresh Bakery Mahalo see you soon

    Great place to stop for a small lunch and snacks. Got the Korean chicken with rice, a deluxe spam musubi and a "brookie" for less than $8.

    While driving up to the north shore, we got a bit hungry so decided to stop for snacks. I ordered banana bread, butter mochi, and this sushi looking thing. The clerk called it a local sushi. The rice was a little vinegary, the tuna tasted like canned or fried tuna, I think there was yellow cucumber, and I have no idea what the bright green color is (see picture). Although there wasn't a good rice to filling ratio, the combination of flavors was still tasty. It was also really cheap but I forgot how much. I think all 3 things cost less than $8. The banana bread and butter mochi were so good! So soft and flavorful. I would plan to make snack stops here on our way to the North Shore again.

    2 beers and some really good boiled peanuts for just $6.22, and you get a seat on the beach.  Doesn't get better than this.

    If you're in the area as a tourist and see this - stop and buy all of your snacks for home here. We…read morewent to other places and this is cheapest place & if you have a CVS card you get more discount. I got tons of goodies in every blend of macadamia candy you can think of.

    My friends and I stopped by at this LONGS #10153 at HAUULA KAI SHOPPING CENTER HI 96717. Due to no…read moredata signal, I can't be sure if this review is at the correct location. I have to assume it is based on the CVS website. This is the one and only Longs Drugs Store in Hau'ula. We were here for some drinks after driving from Kahuku Food Truck area. Eating those salty food made us really thirsty. We could stop at the food stands on Kamahameha. Good thing we got to park safely at the parking lot. Everything in the store is CVS branded. It doesn't bother me. Because I know exactly why. And, I don't talk about politics on my Yelp reviews. So there. We were there in the afternoon around the time the school kids were going home. There was only one cashier and dozen of customers waiting to check out. We were on vacation. So, we didn't mind waiting. I found the usual Longs Drugs items at certain aisles by the grocery section. Got some lihing cherries, arare, coconut water and crack seeds. Then, we were on our way back to town. Overall, I thought it was pretty nice place to stop for some quick grabs. I wish we had time to explore the shopping center for some kaukau. Maybe next time. Aloha!

    DISCLAIMER REVIEW FOR POKE ONLY :: I just had the worst…read morepoke bowl I've ever had in my life. I did not go in store to purchase it, someone else brought it home to me. I would've immediately noticed that the fish is NOT worth eating. I'm starving. We are in a flash flood watch. I forced myself to give it a shot, & immediately was filled with regret as I spit it back out. It was disgusting & my "limu poke," wasn't even POKE. It was straight up mush. I'm even second-guessing if it was even ahi. I've never seen poke like that before, how it immediately disintegrated while using my chopsticks to pick it up. Not even the kine that is made to be patty style. I know it's previously frozen, but I have no idea what that was. On top of all of that there was a black hair in my poke. ** As seen in the photo ** My mouth dropped open when I saw the reviews of people raving about how good it is.... then I clicked on their profiles & saw they're all tourist, so of course they like it. As a local, do NOT waste your money. My food went straight in the trash. There's actually no good poke places on this side...even the Tamura's Hau'ula is the worst one on the island. I need to drive all the way to Kaneohe to Kbay Bros to get decent poke smh.

    This location has realllyyyyy gone downhill in the last 5 years. They are definitely ripping off…read moretourists (because they can at this location). The poke is not fresh anymore and expensive! You're better off going to Tamura's for groceries and poke! Or somewhere local for poke! Also the young cashiers are weird...
