Super cute ornaments and a large selection of olukais to choose from - literally exactly what we were looking for when we walked in! Super nice lady working the cashier too, will definitely be back for family Christmas presents

Island sole has tons of footwear as well as the perfect customizable Hawaii souvenir or gift by a brand named CocoNene! This shop is located on the ground level outside of the ground level food court. Although it's a little pricey, I love my souvenir to commemorate our wedding anniversary in Hawaii! You choose a wooden longboard base size, fill it up with wooden letters, characters, photo frames, plant decor, or animals. There are so many to choose from! The base itself says "made in Hawaii" and the decor is all Hawaii / tropical themed. The base I purchased which was the biggest one along with 9 separate pieces cost almost $70, but no regrets! The letters and icons that are placed into the longboard base are NOT stable or permanently placed into it unless you glue it yourself. It should definitely be in a sturdy place and kept away from children. You can keep changing up the design if you get a bunch of different pieces. The friendly staff member thanked me for shopping local and I'll definitely be back to make more for loved ones!

Island Sole sells footwear but what brought me to the store were their cute made in Hawaii souvenirs made of wood. They have these fun build your own longboard letter sets where you can choose a picture frame and add letters or character attachments. The employee named Naomi was incredibly nice and fun to work with. She helped us with the longboard pieces and was so patient with us. I told her where we were heading after shopping at Ala Moana and she gave us some helpful traffic tips for getting around the island.

I love this shop! If you are looking for unique Made in Hawaii souvenirs, this is the shop you must check! It was like a puzzle , I picked a small surfboard base first. Then I tried so many items to put in the slots. I chose these 3 items, then, I tried different color items.... The sales person gave me an advice if I need! I also got Christmas ornaments. She put each of them in a gift bag with different background paper! She checked color of ornament, then picked perfect match background paper. She was awesome! It's located near the center stage, mountain side. Those 4 items I got was little over $50, so the gift box was free (as of 9/14/2023).

A decor of your own... It's amazing what a year did to CocoNene as I remember that this was a slipper store with some build your own decor items which now has focused on just the decor items exclusively and what a beautiful direction they've gone to. Located in Ala Moana Center Street Level near Centerstage if the storefront hasn't captured your attention what they have here certainly will. Fun is what you'll find especially if you're local the humor is definitely there as "On Island time" is their clock where you can turn a simple wall clock with adding a pendulum is the cutest idea along with their Longboard Letter by filling in the gaps with various items that represents the moment and is very interchangeable so nothing is set and permanent is a bit how we live with each new day. "'Opihi Stickers" lol!! Aahhh the creativity of it all as you choose what you want to stick on your surfboard and they do have a bunch to choose from along with picture frames and ornaments there's so much to choose though it all can add up as each item are individually priced here and it's all fun and vibrant that will make anyone smile and the staff here is wonderful to help you with any questions. Thank you! read more

Interesting that service is different for different people. Went to the Ala Moana location today. The person at the register, an older gentleman, spent a considerable amount of time with a Japanese couple, purchasing items. He wrapped, taped, and carefully put items in a bag for them, and handed them their purchase. My turn, maybe it's because I'm in my tshirt and shorts, just a local ol' lady. He rings me up, tapes the plastic bag the item comes in off the shelf, and hands it to me. I didn't get asked if I needed a bag, as it is a gift I'm taking to Japan. I ask if he has a bag of sorts I can put that in? He asks, "such as?". I say, a small bag of sorts? He says, "well we have this brown paper bag, if you want?". Picks up a brown bag from behind the counter. I was done. I said no thanks. And walked away. Why such a difference in service? Maybe I needed to dress better, I'm not sure. I was a bit offended. Products are super cute, this was only my second time here.. I guess it'll be my last as well. So sad. By the way, my husband and I went to Kahala store yesterday, we bought something there. We thought the service was wonderful, the lady helping us was welcoming and helpful. Ala Moana, felt a bit discriminating. read more

Before long, we were attracted to the awesome bright colors of the clocks but that was about it. Without any pressure, Alexis showed us how elaborate, clever and really cool her clocks could be. Before long we were involved with mixing and matching decorations (Alexis explained she has a college degree in graphic design) and we had a lot of fun.

History

Established in 1986.

We started our business to provide quality casual footwear. The first Island Sole store opened in 2011 at Kahala Mall, and the business expanded statewide. With our background in local manufacturing (since 1986) and our history working with local artists (thanks to sister company Pictures Plus), one day it occurred to us: Why not create our OWN line of customizable home decor & gift products, featuring artwork by talented local artists in our community? So, we began to make wood wall art, bag tags, coasters, you name it! Picture frames, wood stickers and of course, #LongboardLetters-perfect for any occasion! Eventually, we outgrew the name Island Sole and adopted our new name: CocoNene. We converted our stores to 100% made in Hawaii products, proudly made at our factory in Kapolei on Oahu. Our logo is the Nene goose (Hawaii's state bird, and the rarest goose in the world!) Coco, our fun-loving nene, invites you to come in and create with us.

Meet the Business Owner: Kent U.

Kent Untermann began his business by selling framed artwork at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet in 1986. From those humble beginnings, the Pictures Plus organization was born. Over 30 years later, Untermann's organization has grown to include an entire family of brands, including our lifestyle division, which is made up of Island Sole and CocoNene. As a strong advocate for local manufacturing, Untermann has invested in advanced machinery to create a variety of Hawaii-inspired home décor and gift items at our manufacturing facility in Kapolei, HI.

I didn't think anything until she explained that the fresh, green, exclusive design is only available in a backpack, laptop sleeve, pencil case, and lunch bag... plus, it will only be shipped to Hawaii addresses with a minimum purchase of $200 to avoid shipping charges. Uhg... I pondered about what to get. Cece said the pencil case ($32) was on the small side. She went to the store and snapped a few photos with her hand for size comparison. Hmm... I decided on the lunch bag because it included a crossbody strap as well as a handle on the top. Cece stood in line for me and said that the salespeople were super kind and organized.

The food wasn't coming from here, but my daughter just had to see what was inside. So we came in to just look. Sugarcane is this cute shop where you can find all these locally made items for a gift, for the home, fir kids, for a friend, or for visitors. They have books, puzzles, toys jewelry, totes, bags, coasters and more. I love the wooden toys for the kids. I bought a wooden cell phone, a camera, stickers and a cute cooking set. They are my kiddos favorite toys. I've gotten key chains and jewelry for gifts. We have coasters for our home too. The workers are pretty friendly and they also wrapped my gift item too. The items seem pricey, but they are locally made and are unique. I don't think you'll find any ship with the same kind of item that Sugarcane carries. Overall, this is a great place to get gifts and maybe something for yourself. Beware of bringing your children. They will make you buy everything.

This shop has the best selection of Hawaiian apparel I have seen after entering at least 7 different souvenir shops. You can find floral dresses, t-shirts, purses, and even these shorts that say 'Hawaii'. These shorts were a must as I had a pair of these before and they were really popular souvenirs last time so I had to buy them this time as well! Along with having a great clothing selection, they also carry name plates with names in Japanese which was a first in any shop I've seen so far! I really loved walking through this shop because there was so much to see and look at. They price things incredibly well, and have such a pretty in store display. The friendliness of the store owners made this such a wonderful place to visit, and I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for souvenirs here in Honolulu. The clothing selection is unbeatable, and much nicer than other stores. You can tell this store takes pride in both its service and products made available to customers. The quality of their products is really nice, and everyone who works here is offering help and a friendly greeting. Definitely one to visit when seeking a great souvenir shop! And how cute are these shorts? I've searched high and low for these shorts and this is the only shop I've found that carries them. Thank you for being so welcoming on my recent visit! Your store was an absolute treasure to come across.

I decided to do the long walk from Waikiki down to the store, and I was so rewarded for the effort. Walking up and the row of epic restaurant stalls had me grinning from ear to ear. There were so many delicious options OUTSIDE the store that I almost never made it in. From handrolls featuring the freshest seafood from Hokkaido to wagyu kushiyaki and more, my mouth was watering seeing it all beautifully displayed in the windows, and I'm surprised no one said anything about my gawking. Don Q is such a fun store because they have anything and everything you can think of across nearly every category. If I said they're like the Japanese Walmart, it wouldn't hit quite right because the quality and breadth of the selections here are far better. My favorite part of visiting Don Q has to be the incredible array of Asian specialty ingredients and snacks they sell and the reasonable prices. I picked up some gifts here including some exceptional styles of furikake and togarashi, but saw way too many other things I wanted. They also have amazing prepared foods here, specifically Japanese items. There's an entire sushi counter featuring all cuts of bluefin and more, freshly made onigiri, great selection of bentos and and poké too! You really owe it to yourself to visit!

The barista was a bit bemused when I ( humorously ) mentioned I swallowed some sediment from the straw...not being used to drinking yerba mate in this traditional way.

Koolau Farmers

Koolau Farmers is a locally owned/operated nursery and garden supply business that are home…read moregardening experts. It was started in 1938 by East Oahu farmers and a Kailua papaya cooperative as a farmer-founded business entity that shifted from farming to home gardening. Today, it supplies plants, floral arrangements, fertilizers, pesticides, garden tools, etc. for home gardeners. There are currently two locations for Koolau Farmers: Kaneohe and Honolulu (McCully). This review is for the Honolulu location. Items that the McCully location carry include: bromeliads, flowers, fruit, orchids, palms, fruit trees, peppers, tropical fruits, shrubs, soil, trees, veggies, hono hono orchids, dwarf fruit trees (Meyer lemon, Tahitian limes, Naval oranges, jabong, grafted mango, avocado). It also offers seed starting supplies, fertilizers for plants and flowers, worm composting bins; and info re growing and care of indoor potted plants, organic gardening, soil testing, and proper lighting. What brought us to Koolau Farmers is my lilikoi vine that I've had in my back yard for a number of years. With the help of bees, the vine had flourished and produced many delicious fruits for homemade lilikoi desserts, such as lilikoi chiffon pie, lilikoi curd, lilikoi bars, and more. But in recent years, the flowers would bloom, but because there are no bees to pollinate the lilikoi flowers, no fruits are produced. Questions to Koolau Farmers confirmed that there is a lack of nesting sites for carpenter bees (I think they're known as the black bumblebees that we no longer see) to pollinate the lilikoi flowers, resulting in a lack of fruit. According to Koolau Farmers, the flowers must be hand-pollinated instead. Staff provided instructions to my hubby on how to hand-pollinate the beautiful lilikoi flowers. A work in progress, and I'm sure more questions to follow. Then the next project will be our dwarf local orange tree. Where is the fruit? There's a single tiny orange on it, yes, only one! Hope Koolau Farmers can help us on this one! Another work in progress. Staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and provides helpful guidance. An unlikely spot in urban Honolulu to have a nursery and garden supply store, but I'm glad that it's there! The interior space is not that big, but houses boxes of fertilizers and various home gardening equipment for home gardeners. There may be displays of seasonal items on how to grow certain plants, such as hono hono orchids. Open daily from 8a to 5p. Free parking in the private lot. On the outside private lot are scattered variety of healthy local plants, herbs, orchids, and fruit trees. We look forward in working with Koolau Farmers and knowing that they are there to help us with our home gardening needs!

Hawaii is known for its abundance of gift shops, with ABC Stores offering a wide variety of generic souvenirs. However, if you're looking for something truly unique, authentic, and made entirely in Hawaii by local artists, this place is an absolute gem! It's a treasure trove of creativity and culture, perfect for those seeking one-of-a-kind keepsakes that stand out from the typical offerings. What sets this shop apart is the opportunity to create your own artistic masterpiece. Whether you're a visitor or a local, the experience is both memorable and rewarding. The process involves selecting from an assortment of figurines and materials, allowing you to personalize your creation to your heart's content. The best part? You have complete control over the size, complexity, and cost of your project, making it a flexible option for any budget or vision. My kids absolutely loved the entire experience. From choosing their figurines to bringing their designs to life, it was a hands-on activity that sparked their imaginations and kept them engaged for hours. It's a wonderful way to connect with the local art scene while creating a meaningful souvenir that you can proudly say you made yourself. The atmosphere here is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who are eager to help and share their knowledge about Hawaiian art and culture. They guide you through the creative process, ensuring that even beginners feel confident and inspired. If you're visiting Hawaii and want to take home something truly special. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone who loves unique, hands-on art. read more

I was walking around Ala Moana Shopping Center last week and I came across a new store in the Nordstrom wing. I rarely walk on that side of the mall but I was thankful I did. As soon as I walked in, there's cool displays of slippers with one super big slipper that caught my attention and the guy that was working was really cool with a big smile and let me take a picture with it. He really made me feel comfortable enough that I actually took a few doing different poses. He later explained the brands they carried in the store and a little info about each brand and why they are so unique to the other brands out there in the world. My favorite was the local brand Olu Kai. Never heard of them before but after I tried it on, I was a fan. It's so comfortable and the sales person said it had an anatomical footbed which helped my posture. I could even go in the water with it and still keep my feet looking good. :) The price was pretty high I thought at first but after the guy telling me about the brand and slipper, I was sold. I can honestly say you get what you pay for. The Olu Kai Ohana slipper is the best slipper I've ever had in my life. Don't think I'll be going back to those Reefs I had before that made my feet stink and back hurt. I am for sure coming back to this place to buy slippers for my friends and family soon. Great environment, helpful and knowledgeable staff, and super cool slippers. I just don't get why the Nene bird is their logo. read more

The Service Representative here named Jared was an absolute rude, crude, and vulgar degenerate! My wife and I walked in to shop for some items. She had made a simple reference to her conservative values, and "Jared" busted a gasket. He commenced to ask us if we were "Trump Supporters?" Once we responded "yes sir," he went ballistic. He Called us idiots, cult members, delusional, trash, while with each attack, he was using the F- Bombs. The F-Bombs were repetitive and hostile. We tried to calm him down several times and he seemed to walk away, only to return with more F-Bombs and more attacks. We were repeatedly insulted and ridiculed by this deranged employee who seems to have it out for anyone who supported Trump. He exhibited the very essence of Trump derangement syndrome! Jared should be fired! Immediately! He shouldn't even be allowed to work at Burger King! He couldn't handle delivering newspapers! He was completely unprofessional and unhinged. The guy was sweating and turning red! Unreal! We were going to make purchases, and simply decided to leave the store. He never cared to sell us anything. He was more concerned with trying to win a political contest. What a jerk! What a Horrible guy! The store had some pretty decent merchandise, but after that visit, I hope and pray they go bankrupt! Go move to some foreign country and sell your garbage there! PS: #Trump2024! read more

I stumbled upon this store while looking for a few souvenirs for my mom and family. What I found was much more than a simple souvenir. Everything was so beautifully handcrafted and made with love. I purchased a picture frame for my mom, and she absolutely loved it! The quality of their products goes much further than anything you could ever find just sipping around for a typical "souvenir". I am so happy with the products I have purchased from island sole, and I will definitely be visiting them again for all of my gifting needs! Justin also did a great job at assisting me with my needs, and helped me find the perfect products for my family. Ask for him if you stop by! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Island sole in Ala moana. I'm a huge fan of Camo print, and been on the search for a specific pair of camo print Havianas. When I walked in I was very impressed with the presentation and set up of the store. I was greeted and helped by the store manager, Ashley. She was very knowledgeable and knew her product history. She knew exactly which pair I was talking about! She showed me to the last pair available, and I bought it without hesitation. Overall, great customer service, very warm and welcoming, reasonable prices! read more

What a surprise of a store! I came here expecting shoes but ended up finding sweet home decor with the island theme. I saw the Coco Nene products while in Lahaina but didn't buy any then.. so glad I get a second chance here! They even have small 2-piece wood art (a stand with one figurine thing) that would be perfect for a stocking stuffer/small gift or to decorate the guest bedroom.
