Love this location versus the more famous one down the street though yes it's more an outdoor mall and yes the bathroom situation needs the biggest improvement of it all, the shops they have here are great with McD'z, Starbucks, Ross and yes FHB just to name a few parking is never really an issue here as majority are centrally located and with so many options to choose from I can see why it's actually getting much more crowded than it used to be. On this visit I came to drop of some donation at a Goodwill that they also have and most likely can't resist a peek into Ross but lots of service shops all in one place makes it my favorite spot to get some errands done. Thank you!

Looking to shop, grab a bite, get your car serviced, inquire on your cellular needs, do banking…read moreerrands, get lab work done or need to attend to your pets on the Windward side? Head over to Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center (KBSC). Established in 1971, KBSC has been serving the Kamaaina and visitors on the Windward side. It houses big name tenants of Safeway, Goodyear, Long's, Starbucks, Panda Express, L&L Hawaiian BBQ, Central Pacific Bank, First Hawaiian Bank, Hawaii State Federal Credit Union, Petco, 7-11, and Diagnostic Laboratory Services. A lot can be accomplished at KBSC and can get good deals on $5 Fridays at Safeway or grabbing a massive plate lunch from L&L or create your own Chinese plate from Panda's, which makes a popular restaurant for grab and go. The closure of Kaneohe Bakery and Deluxe Pastry Shop in recent years had residents of 96744 yearning for breakfast treats but step in Donut King, which opened earlier this year in KBSC. You can also fill up gas at Kaneohe Bay 76 (Union 76) and grab a Musubi and a slurpee from 7-11 that's conveniently located. You also have a Starbucks and Jamba Juice on property as well. There's lots of parking in this structure which makes it ideal to run errands here but why not 5-stars? Couple years ago they repainted the parking stall lines and decided to make the stall narrower which makes it frustrating at times to park. You will need to pay extra attention, especially when a large number of patrons come to KBSC with trucks and vans. This makes it challenging to park here and many times will witness cars either hugging the lines or clearly pass the borders. KBSC is still going strong with so many options to shop and run errands with lots of parking which makes it a great place for locals and visitors.

TBH, because I'm a Kaneohe girl... BORN & RAISED I might sound a bit BIAS, but I promise IM…read moreNOT! (Most times... ) Anywho, we went here for dinner and I LOVED IT because we could choose from 4 different restaurants AND a grocery store to eat at. PLUS TOO, they stayed open til 9/10pm. Most places like these are closed by 7/8pm because of location or they're in the mall. But here it was really good too because they have other stores nearby. Like LONGS OR WALMART & there was a burger joint on the other side. Even a Jamba Juice. Not sure how long that stays open but, they have a variety of places to eat here! I went to eat at SUMO RAMEN. Dad & the kids went to L&L's and Pandas. Typical LOCALS! I'm the ONLY ONE in the family that LOVES TO EAT AUTHENTIC FOODS! I'm NOT spoiled or ritzy! I was just taught well by an aunty on where to eat and HOW to eat well. My husband on the other hand, was taught how I just EAT! Although my kids DO eat what I enjoy, they will always pick local style foods over ethnic or authentic. But YES! This place is DEFINITELY WORTH THE LOOK! Oh! They also have a GOODYEAR HERE TOO! So if you ever need your tires fixed, go here so you have options to shop around at. And if you're there during the morning or afternoon, well you're in luck cause, they're literally right across the street is the MALL! So you have so much options just stopping off here. Hope you enjoy the food! Or shopping! Thanks for reading. Have a good one!

There are seven businesses there: Don Goya's Mexican Food, Haiku Veterinary Clinic, Tina's Barber Shop, Legal Aid Society, Christian Science Center, Edward Jones, and T & T Nails.

The cement tire stop was very high. When I backed out it pulled my front bumper loose. I don't plan on going back to these businesses again because of the parking.

Situated in the heart of the Ko'olau Windward side, Koolau Center is located on the main artery…read moreroad directly across from the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park & the serene Koolau Mountains. If you are not used of the quiet environment and slow pace in life obviously you won't be able to enjoy this in a long run. No tall buildings in here just few essential businesses e.g. McDonalds, Times Supermarket, few restaurants like Ninja sushi, Koolau Drive Inn & Mexican Restaurant, movie theater and the city & county DMV. Life is simple and no loud ringings (this ain't like Waikiki). Tourists won't find excitement in here (unless you will visit Byodo-In Temple across). This is mainly a hub for locals who peacefully living it simply. Residents like me enjoy the serenity every time I come up here. And for sure will always love coming up here on the future. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!

The Koolau shopping center has to be one of the most poorly designed and inconvenient shopping…read morecenters on this island. Times supermarket has no public restrooms, the Mexican restaurant there is pretty good and usually allows people to use if needed. The Koolau McDonalds is terrible on customer service! Not only do they have a number lock on the door, the employees there won't tell you the code until you order something! Even if you tell them you are going to place an order but have to use the restroom 1st! They are just ruthless! The old Koolau theater that is just sitting there wasting space and vacant should at least be opened so people can use the restroom while shopping over there. People with health issues should never be denied access to a restroom. There's no aloha in that!

One of many shopping center the one thing that will certainly see is the giant storefront sign for BookEnds with that you know you're there and one of the smaller place actually is filled with a great variety of tenants. On this visit I did revisit places like BookEnds and Lanikai Juice though did discover several new places (for myself) like Mālā Market...thank you bestie Nadine for the correction, Lanikai Bath and Body, Coco's Trading Post. That just scratch the surface of what you're able to find at this amazing place cause if it's machines you got Aloha Salads, Morning Brew, Mālā Market, Times Supermarket, Paniolo's, India Cafe and Donut King. My newest love shopping here is Lanikai Bath and Body but there are some jewelry shops, Stussy, SoHa Keiki and yes BookEnds who did have a box of free books outside shows what a cool vibe this area has. So much you can do in one place makes Kailua Shopping Center so easy to support local all in one spot. Thank you!

I wanted to give a 5 out of 5 star review, but due to a variable customer experience ranging from…read moreabysmal to excellent, I am giving a 4 star rating. Starting with the parking lot, (+1) the monkeypod trees are nice, good for shade and cover. I appreciate still nature. (-1) Beware the pigeons, minah birds, and finches that fly over and poop and pee mid-flight and while they're perched. (-1) There are also hens and roosters that make noise and draw flies sometimes. They dig holes and make messes. This leads me to the commons areas that have dining tables, umbrellas, and outdoor seating. There are also benches. There is a larger commons area at the Mexico Lindo corner for family gatherings. Good place to sit on hot days and to be around fellow patrons for extroversion. Rain still cuts through. I know that KSC can't really help who shows up, but I'm going to say that (-1) sometimes there are pests run by their own group "ethic". They don't keep their snap judgments to themselves which made my personal experience quite variable instead of a positive experience. (-1) When the pests outnumber casual shoppers, everyone becomes rude, passive-aggressive, and threatening. Typically casual shoppers who are not as tense become hostages to the feels. The lot is cleaned well. (-1) When trash bins are not in working order, they are not promptly repaired I noticed. However, (+1) HBM staff tidy up the parking lot, walkways, and commons areas by sweeping and utilizing leaf blowers, and they also empty trash bins every day, multiple times. (+1) They have a recycling bin on the lot. Venues: Lanikai Juice provides healthy and tasty meals, and they have good merchandise. Aloha Salads -- I've never tried eating there yet. Paniolos Kailua -- I've never tried eating there yet. The logo looks cool. Mala Market -- I've never tried eating there yet. I like the name. Dog Bakery seems like a cool place for the pets. It looks friendly inside, and the workers look hospitable. I remember when it used to be Subway. Stir Beverage? ????? Mexico Lindo has good food. They're kind to all of their customers. I generally stay away from the area if I am not going to eat over there. Island Snow Hawaii has awesome clothing. The quality and relevance of what they offer is what I like. Their shaved ice treats are sweet, good cold for hot days. Kailua Harley Davidson looks cool. Kailua Nails Care -- haven't tried it. The Salty Babe -- I don't really understand the concept, and I don't go in there. SoHa Keiki Kailua -- I don't go in there. There is a lot for younglings. It's well-lit. Classic Waves Boutique -- I don't go in there. Morning Brew is one of my favorite coffee shops of all time. They keep to themselves, yet they are personable, and that's (+1) definitely something I appreciate. They're uniquely tolerant. The manager and owner there are both warm, experienced, awesome individuals. Also, they have good music playlists from morning to afternoon! Good acoustics, too. Note to be careful in the front seating of Morning Brew, as handicap parking is right out front and there was once an "internal parking" issue before. Also, handicap walkway ramps right out front. Windward Jewelers does great work on jewelry. AT&T Store -- I don't go in there, but their staff seem cool and competent. Cornerstone Chiropractic -- I haven't tried it. I crack jokes about it. Donut King has some good donuts. Bookends is also a favorite on the lot. The workers are knowledgeable. A humble place to browse peacefully. New Kamana Kitchen -- I haven't eaten there yet. I read the menus. You'll get exactly what it is that you're ordering, and they have the passion to make it, I feel. Tokyo Central is actually an amazing grocery store with a deli and fish market. The prices there are competitive. Tokyo Central has a lot of food and drinks directly imported from Japan. Overall, I enjoy KSC. (+1) On days where people seem free, not "going through hell" and being combative that way, happy, moods uplifted, it's one of the best shopping centers around, I assure you. (+1) There aren't two days that are the same. (-1) Major complaint about the energy on the lot when people and policer anxieties ramp up, especially because of events, (-1) and it's twice as frustrating for me that regulars good with me suddenly becomes two-faced, moved by emotional contagions, leaving me with mild bewilderment. (-2) It would be nice if the lot didn't become concerned with bathroom users. Inferences made that create assumptions cause people paranoia which sometimes increases beyond reason--security and sometimes workers at that point turn unreasonable. Coffee is a diuretic. (+1) Recently, the security there has been much more tolerant, though. That much is true. I listen, I watch, I sometimes interact whether or not I am "allowed" to, and I mind my own business the majority of the time. They often play music from a Hawaiian radio on the speakers, I've heard.
