    This little market gets full stars for presentation, convenience and for having almost everything you need, if you are staying in a villa at the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resorts. When you walk in, it's inviting, well presented and extremely organized. In essence, it's an upscale, neighborhood grocery store. The reason why I docked two stars is be because you pay out the nose for that convenience. The yogurt I grabbed for breakfast was $1.79. When we later went to a supermarket, the same yogurt was $0.99. I don't care about $0.80 on a yogurt, but it's just a hard lesson when the same item is priced that differently when they are around the corner from each other. Lesson learned. The other star was because they served Starbucks coffee. I guess they need to consider the popularity of Starbucks with the masses, but Maui produces coffee locally, so it would have been a nice touch to have them support their local growers. Long and short of it, I gave them an a-ok! It's a pretty cool little spot, but some local java and fairer prices would make them shine!

    This supermarket is located inside the north tower of the westin resort in lahaina. I would never have gone here if it weren't for the welcome gift that westin was offering (ended up getting a free 20 dollar cold insulating bag for drinks). The cafe has just about everything you need so that you don't need to leave the resort. They have a liquor wine and beer section, prepared sandwiches and spam musubi, frozen food such as digiornos, yogurt, Starbucks coffee, fresh to go sandwiches made with boars head meat. If you consider how convenient and clean everything is here, you can't complain. Yes the prices are higher than your grocery store outside but what can you expect when you are at the westin in hawaii. If you compare shops in resorts like this I think this place is phenomenal.

    Very simple little market in a resort. Had salt, which we needed as our rental had none.

    You can believe the hype about the Poke here. This wine and liquor store is tucked away at the top…read moreof a hill in somewhat of a mini industrial business area. Plenty of parking though as it's on a private lot. Let me tell you, the poke here is fire!!!! So fresh!!! Found this place here through Yelp, and the other Yelpers definitely did not disappoint. The store is super clean, and each staff member I encountered here were all very polite, and helpful. When you walk in, the Poke section is directly to your left. When we arrived, there was a line and for good reason. They had about 5 or 6 different kind of Poke's the days we went 7/29 and 7/31. I had the Spicy Ahi and the Tamura's one day. Then the Shoyu and Chili pepper the next. All which were extremely fresh and flavorful. Great to eat by itself, or you can elect for a Poke bowl, which gets you two scoops of rice with furikake and sesame seed (if you want) and two choices of poke. You won't regret it if you're a poke fan! We came here twice to satisfy our poke craving. Crazy how it's a large liquor and wine store, which I'm sure they get a lot of customers for. But the days we went, it mainly were both locals and tourists stopping in for just the poke. Just a heads up, I overheard a lady ask "will you have more tomorrow"? To which the employee said, "yes we have enough fish for the next 3 days" which tells me that they do run out or have days where their poke bar is closed. The poke bowl was $14.99 each and completely worth it. Best Poke I've tried so far in Maui! Give them a try!

Quality/Quantity - Small local supermarket that sells poke and alcohol, so you would think this would be PERFECT for someone like me! The poke was limited by the time we got here at 1:30pm ish. The poke looked fresh, and there was a long line; slightly unorganized. Not the business's fault, but the customers. I think everyone in line was trying to look into the case at the same time. Lots of other Maui and/or HI items for sale. Atmosphere - Plenty of free parking. Open 7 days a week from 10am until ?? See my picture. Starting 6/3/22 open daily from 10am to 6pm; as of 6/5 this has NOT been updated on Yelp. Poke hours differ, see picture - thank you for posting this! The bathrooms are right when you walk in, which is nice. No delivery service. No loyalty program - everyday low prices. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable prices, same or slightly above the other supermarkets. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1995 with your 12+ locations (includes markets and restaurants). 1920 Makitaro Tamura opened the first store. 1995 - Grandsons now own these locations.

    If you came to West Maui, and didn't go chocolate tasting at Ku'ia, did you really visit Maui?…read more I mean, I had an amazing time on my vacation in Ka'anapali - but this was the absolute foodie highlight, better than any restaurant and a lot more reasonable! We skipped the pricey farm tour (we did coffee farm tours last year and are farmed out) and went straight to the chocolate café. They will give you a five piece tasting for free, either a dark, milk, or sugar-free flight. But why would you come here and just take... When you can also give back to folks in Lahaina rebuilding? So we got two free flights, one milk and one dark. My sweetie added on a drink, a pastry, and some very tasty chocolate and salted caramel gelato. I went with a make your own alcohol pairing, which was so much fun and very reasonable. For about $17, I got a shot of coconut rum with two chocolate pairings and a shot of premium Martiniquan JM volcanic rhum Agricole with another two chocolate pairings. And then I still had my free five pieces. What an amazing taste adventure, for cheaper than the price of a cocktail at a hotel bar or even a locally owned foodie place? I don't want to mess up your tasting - so you pick your favorites! But I normally don't like rhum agricole - and the pairings were such an amazing flavor adventure. Honestly, this is my number one recommendation in West Maui. Give the folks some business and have an amazing time! Oh, and they have jazz on Sunday nights' but I'm sure it's more crowded than than popping in during the day on a weekday. And also: the second floor tasting room has panoramic views of the ocean and around Lahaina. Check them out!

    We booked the Maui Kuʻia Estate Chocolate farm tour and tasting as a family activity; me, my wife,…read moreand our two boys and I honestly enjoyed this WAY more than I expected to. It starts at their building in Lahaina, which has a little café/coffee shop, plenty of chocolate for sale, and a rooftop experience that looked interesting but we didn't get to try. By the time we finished the tour, the kids had reached the "we have successfully experienced enough things today" portion of the vacation. Fair enough. From there, you take a fun little ride out to the cacao farm, and that's where this became much more than "let's go eat some chocolate." Our guide, Andrew (I'm about 95% sure I'm remembering his name correctly!), was fantastic. He seemed genuinely interested in cacao, the process, the company, and what they are doing there. That makes such a difference. He talked about how cacao is grown and processed, the history behind Kuʻia, and a little about founder Dr. Gunars Valkirs and his rather fascinating path to chocolate. Then, of course, there was the tasting. Lots and lots of little squares of chocolate. This is educational work I was willing to undertake. Unfortunately, I can't tell you which particular varieties were my favorites because apparently I was too busy eating them to take adequate scientific notes. What I can tell you is that there really wasn't one I disliked. What surprised me most was how much flavor there could be in chocolate that wasn't buried under a mountain of sugar. The differences and complexity of the cacao actually came through, and it made me think about chocolate completely differently. The chocolate sample they gave us back at the counter was also fantastic, as was the coffee drink we ordered. My only regret is that we didn't buy more chocolate before leaving. Be warned, though: apparently this tour has side effects. I went in expecting a fun Maui family activity where we'd learn a few things and eat some chocolate. I left wondering about cacao varieties, fermentation, processing, climate, chemistry and several other questions that absolutely nobody in my family asked me to investigate. It's been a few weeks and I'm still going down the rabbit hole. Five stars. Great guide, fascinating process, excellent chocolate, fun for the family, and potentially hazardous to anyone predisposed to acquiring new interests while on vacation.

Nick was friendly, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job teaching us about the tropical plants and fruits grown on the farm. We learned a lot and appreciated how informative and engaging the tour was. The tour ended with a tropical fruit tasting, and the fruit was incredibly fresh, juicy, and sweet. It was one of our favorite parts of the experience. Feeding the alpacas was also a lot of fun, and our kids absolutely loved it. The farm also has zip lines and giant inflatable bouncing balls, so there is plenty to keep families entertained. Definitely worth checking out.

He started with some farm history and then he took us to see the alpacas. They were so cute and friendly. We all got to feed them and pet them. Next was the tour of the farm. He walked us through the many plants and fruits that grow on the property. For some we got to feel or taste them as he told interesting and funny stories. After our tour, he took us to a beautiful lookout with tables where we experienced a huge plate of tropical fruits and a glass of dragon fruit lemonade. It was all refreshing and delicious. This is a great experience and I highly recommend it.
