You go back to the house and learn about the process to make chocolate. It's part presentation and part video. Courtney will open a pod and you can taste the beans: the while squishy part tastes like apple jolly ranchers. The purple bean is bitter, so you have to swallow it fast. Then you get to sample different types of chocolates. Yum! The tour is about an hour. I think it's a good balance between information and keeping things going. I definite recommend for adults and our 6 year-old son enjoyed it.

Carl was getting gas as I walked up to ask where we were and how to get back she handed me a Cookie from a box on the front seat and took the time out of her day to take us back to the Cruise Ship.

We made it back to the Ship and home safe and I will keep the cookie in my Curio Cabinet to remind me how Carla and the Hawaiian people are so thoughtful. Aloha AL Pedrani-Rio Vista, CA.

But as soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the wonderful staff, and the whole vibe completely changed. Inside, the space is bright, inviting, and thoughtfully set up. We were offered samples of their Kona coffee along with a couple of treats of the day, which was such a nice touch. As you walk around, you can actually watch them making their delicious goodies, which makes the experience even more fun and tempting. The shop was beautifully decorated for the upcoming Easter holiday, and they also had some really lovely gift boxes--perfect if you're looking to bring something home for family or friends. There's also a small area where you can grab drinks (and possibly ice cream too). I ordered a green tea latte, and it was absolutely wonderful. Overall, such a cozy, welcoming spot with great treats and friendly service. Definitely worth stopping by--whether you're craving something sweet or looking to pick up a thoughtful gift!

Caution, these chips are addicting! Whether your preference is potato, sweet potato, taro, or…read moreshrimp chips....they are ALL very tasty! I've been flying to Hilo from Honolulu for more than a year now, to get these. Finally getting around to writing about how excellent these chips are. The store room is clean and well organized. They offer samples of the different chips they sell. Main difference is the type of chip....it's a choice of taro, sweet potato, regular potato, or even a nice mix. They have incredible flavors to choose from. Whether you are craving sweet or savory, there is indeed a chip flavor for everyone. My all time favorite is the Korean BBQ flavor on thin taro chips, so yummy! We also tried their cookies and chocolates. With every bag and every bite, we have not been disappointed. Super convenient to have the FedEx option so they don't get crushed when I fly back to Honolulu. Thank you for using locally grown ingredients too :)

We were greeted promptly and she went over the labels and how everything was packed. We didn't sample anything because we were so full but she did offer and I figured everything was pretty self-explanatory. We did pick up about 7 bags of chip and some cookies. If You spend over $100, they offer complimentary FedEx shipping which I thought was incredible. We took advantage of that benefit so I will definitely give a more accurate review on the product when we get to taste it.
