I have been coming to the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet for a while now, and it honestly never gets old…read more It really is the ultimate spot for both cravings and savings. If you want local snacks, cheap souvenirs, or just a good walk, this is the place to be. Every time I visit, I end up finding something great, but this specific trip was a massive win. I had been on a hunt for coconut apple (the spongy, sweet embryo inside a mature coconut)...I had been to another marketplace, but this was the spot where I found it. I walked stall by stall, asking the vendors. Some gave me a knowing look, and some didn't, but when I found it, I was happy and able to relive my childhood memories of eating this. Between hunting down rare local treats and scoring great deals on shirts, gear, and random finds, you easily get your dollar's worth here. Just make sure to bring cash, wear comfortable shoes, and get there early before the sun really starts beating down.

Bittersweet to see the old Aloha Stadium being demolished. So many memories were made here over the…read moremany years, from football games and concerts to the swap meet and community events. As much as I'll miss the original stadium, I'm excited to see what's next. Mahalo for the memories. Here's to the past, while welcoming a new chapter for Hawaii.

I first ran into their shop on Oahu, at the Aloha Stadium. The clothing is eye catching and…read morecomfortable. I am about 30 pounds overweight so tight fitting clothing is uncomfortable. I usually get the jumpsuits which are very versatile, they can be used as a off-the-shoulder jumpsuit or haram pants. they are comfortable and beautiful. I get many compliments. I have also ordered new colors each year (of the jumpsuits) and the shipping is fast and well packaged especially living on the mainland. They are very helpful over the phone, and I look forward to doing business with them every year.

They are the bomb!! I love their necklaces and bracelets!! I have collected a whole bunch of them…read morealready I wear them daily it's pretty much become my "uniform". He makes them with the spinning thingy and will custom make them if you'd like. You'd get a better deal for buying more. I think it's already a great value though. They also have the bomb dresses and I'm probably going to be collecting them. They do not shrink like all other sundresses which is AMAZING quality. I got my 10 YO daughter a few. The Mayans Shop is a must stop for me when at Swap Meet!! Go say hi you won't regret it

Love getting crafty…read more.. The holidays are over but the need to find the unique items for any occasions...totes low as $3 are always in need and to have these craft fairs on a scheduled basis is a great support to our local small businesses and to easily reach out to folks looking for that something that's not easily found in one location. This Made with Aloha Gift Fair is at Pearlridge Center Mauka Wing every third Saturday and Sundays right in the middle of it all and the vendors may vary at moments though follow @islandcraftfairs as they will list the participating shops and what they have to offer...it sure got me down here to see what Chinese New Year items they have from Unik Gifts and Things and no they don't have instagram but though wonderful events like this reached out to many folks flocking over to shop and with my purchase he gave me a free frog charm for good luck as he says "you can't buy luck" very true and a generous gesture which was truly valuable and this made me smile. Thank you!

The location is super convenient, the staff is always friendly, and the service is consistently great. It can get busy at times, but their online ordering system makes the process quick and seamless. I've tried several of their drinks, and honestly, everything has been delicious. If you're looking for a reliable spot for a tasty drink, I highly recommend giving them a try. 10/10!

Saw this on the NEX first floor and had to get some. I usually got one double chocolate walnut and…read moreone chocolate chip walnut and sort of ate them together. It's been years since I've had them. The young man that helped me get was professional and very nice. The display was well designed and there are many types of packaged cookie offerings. My excitement turned to... they're ok. They're good. The walnut chocolate chip is better than the double chocolate walnut, which surprised me. Usually I liked that one better. Today it was too sweet. Maybe my taste buds changed. Either way they were good cookies; just not the favorites that I remember them as. I'll have to try some them again if I head to Mililani or Kaneohe. Maybe they'll hit different there!

I haven't been here in a while and I'm happy to see that the Cookie Corner opened up a location. I…read moreasked the cashier when they opened at the NEX and she said a while, before she had even started working there. They have a cart full of boxed and packaged cookies. They also have a cookie display case of their singular cookies. They don't have an oven at this location so the cookies probably get delivered every morning. I love the white chocolate mac nut cookies and it's back for a limited time. I got two of those and a snickerdoodle. The cookies were soft and fresh. I'm not a fan of soft cookies. I like them crunchy. Their bite sized cookies are crunchy. I usually get a cup of the chocolate chip. Those are addicting. However, I just ate lunch upstairs at the food court and couldn't eat all those cookies, so I passed on the cup of bite sized cookies.

So... this is a pop up that I thought was supposed to start at 10 bc I have ADHD, and I planned to…read moreget here at like 9:30 bc I seen how Pua Blooms blossomed (pun intended) after these Jolene's pop ups. But I took my kids to another coffee truck (A Little A Latte) and like it goes with kids, they made me late. So I got here right at 10. But it's ok bc Cai.CafeX3 was just getting here. So I was a tad annoyed. But then I actually looked at the sign and it said 11am. They opened the doors right on time at 11 and took the first two customers in. I waited not even 5 more min before they let me in. Initially they were still making drinks for Jolene's staff which I think is awesome to bless their staff with a drink but it really delayed the drinks for the rest of us. They were very nice tho and kept apologizing. Wasn't a huge problem bc at the beginning of events like this you need to hit your groove. I was out of there by 11:22. The girls in front of me ordered a total of 4 drinks, and I ordered 3 drinks.... So I guess over all with all the staff drinks they had to make, and the fact that it was only one drink maker... they were still pretty quick. The line was wrapping around Jolene's so I think they will do well. I ordered the Vanilla Salted Caramel, the Strawberry Matcha Spritzer, and the Hojicha. They were only offering oat milk today, I think to manage the line, but if you go to their IG they normally offer other milks. I will need to try them again when I can choose bc I do not really like oat milk. But I do like how you can customize your sweetness level. All our drinks were good. My daughter pilfered the spritzer. Of the three the salted vanilla was the best. Their straws were cute pink heart straws that didn't photograph well in its wrapping. But my daughter says she's gonna use one on Wednesday bc it's pink lol. And we got a cute sticker too!

I just adore a crafty mind!…read more As a major crafter myself I love finding the creativity and boldness they all take to the next level is just inspiring. The amazing joy I find is that no two market is alike, as this December 2022 at Ward Village event was held in the former Pier 1 location next to Nordstrom Rack. I had a blast exploring @AdamJK uniqueness as each of us loved the realness we can relate to each item weather a time that says shhhh, I got a stress ball that says "Nothing Matters" and I'd really like the hat "I really don't know what I'm doing" for work lol!! His spirit was just so fun and bright :-) My other delight was One Shabby Chick @oneshabbychickhawaii and unknowingly my first tote from her was a collaboration with @makelemonadeproject a non profit to ease financial burdens and going though it myself instantly got me so of course I needed another tote! So many fun gifting ideas, Bas bookshop, jewelry ad even a random give away "fingers crossed" this pet friendly market has something for all. Follow Art + Flea @artandflea to keep updated on their events, crafty retail therapy is a real Art form! Thank you!

We walked across the street to the back portion behind Marukai. Admission was $3 for the adults. The two kids were free. There were food booths but we saved our hunger for Goma Tei in the Ward Center. I jumped on the bike that helped power the KTUH sound stage. I got a free bag from Kaleo newspaper. It had some cool goodies inside. At the Yelp booth, Raelyn played a trivia game. I won a Yelp thermos. Many vendors were set up in a two-story warehouse. We picked up some cool young women's clothes at a terrific discount. Andy Lee was making his art and kindly gave us a free sample. All in all a pretty good night for a family get-together or outing. Also, it seemed very pet friendly even though the theme was Tokyo. During some bedtime talk we agreed that this event was more art than flea, but the flea bargains were indeed great.
