The texture is just out of this world - it's butter yet has a little bit more an 'airy' crumby texture. A friend so kindly visited and shipped these to me as a gift. There hasn't been a single miss, but I haven't eaten all the cookies yet. The ube shortbread is in the top for me for sure though. The only downside is that even though there's a 'legend' in the box, but I can't really tell which cookie is which ha.

Thanks to Dana I was able to place an order for their fabulous cookies. Chocolate chip is my…read morefavorite so I ordered only that flavor. To me you just can't beat their crispy rich goodness. I'm pretty sure I could eat half a bag at one sitting with cold milk. Like how the interior of the store is uncluttered to help you focus on what you want and need to take home to share with friends and family. They even have cookies for dogs.

Out tour guide Hannah expertly guided us through each course, highlighting the uniqueness of each element of the meal. Portion sizes were generous. After lunch, Hannah led us on a tour of the onsite coffee and cacao plantations. The tour was short in terms of distance but deep in terms of knowledge and hands-on experience. Other reviewers have cited your guides' adult-themed or insensitive attempts at humor. With Hannah, communication was sensitive, thoughtful, and clear. Her enthusiasm and passion charmed me.

I also bought a nice Puna chocolate shirt; so adorable. Great spot for cool refreshing drinks.

We stepped in and were greeted immediately and offered samples of several items, including the Hamakua Toffee, apple banana, furikake rice crispies and white chocolate with cacao nibs.

Great mix of products! Hawaiian made and delicious!…read more It's only been open for a few weeks so this was a cool new find. I see I get to be the first to review! Every product in Yay! Candy has a story of local history behind it that the store owners/operators are happy to share. They are very local focused and said they have a very strict policy to only carry products from Hawaiian companies. The owners said they seek out vendors where everything is made on one of the islands and ingredients are source locally when possible. Fair trade when not. So no cheep imports here. We checked a few and couldn't find anything that didn't meet this criteria. The store is ran by a super sweet couple that reminds me of my grandparents and make you feel super welcome when you come in. They have a bit of a sense of humor about their store as well it seems. They have a secret dentist discount. So all you dentist with a sweet tooth, we found your spot. Samples! They have samples available for most products. So if you're unsure you can probably try it, but be warned if you sample it you will want to buy it. Chocoholics be warned! I saw over half a dozen local grown and made "bean to bar" as they say, chocolate crafters on their shelves and each with multiple options. Farm to table tarts. And a wall of small farm macadamia nuts options, including chocolate covered varieties, and the best friggin toffee I've ever tried. Lilikoi, Li hing, coconut options in everything. Even organic cotton Candy?? My new favorite candy store! The only negative is I don't live on the island, so I have to wait for my next visit to get my next fix.
