Grab some food like spam musubi which was our fave to eat for your hikes or the beach. They have bentos and a variety of sweet and salty items but don't go too late as they do run out. Since they are part of the ABC Store family, you save your receipts to get a free gift when you spend a certain amount of money. We went to several markets but this one was our go to. They also carry everything else like souvenirs, water shoes, etc.

They have a good amount of local products, I picked up some local Kauai honey from Free to Bee and local Sol Remedies tea leaves to bring back home to California. It's a good sized store with plenty of parking in the lot right out front. They have a good variety of items, from local meats to fresh produce to snacks and lotions.

This is the supermarket I frequent when I visit Koloa. They have a great selection of organic food…read more I feel like the price are the same as California for the most part. The service is great here. I'm always in search of something and they are always there to proactively ask me if they can help me find the aisle or item. Everyone has such a nice personality. They are helpful and kind. It's a great place to pick up local organic brands and also brands from the main land. I love that they carry Strauss organic ice cream. Reminds me of home. It's a small grocery shop with big heart. I have really enjoyed talking to the staff here.

This market has everything you could need, including a juice bar that also serves acai bowls…read more(Anake's Juice Bar), flower stand, and poke spot (Lawai'a Fish Co) inside. The acai bowl place as poppin', I'll definitely have to come back and try it. They also sold juice shots from Kauai Juice Co and mason jars with overnight oats in all different flavors. We opted to get the PB and banana one, excited to give it a try. They sell tons of local products and meats. Unfortunately no local Kaua'i eggs sold here, go to Hoku market for that. They also sell Gina's banana bread for $8.50 near the register, they are huge portions and she doesn't skimp on the nuts, very tasty!! Next to the poke, they also have a food warmer stocked with to-go hot breakfast bentos as well as musubi. Wish I knew that earlier during my trip!

There's a juice bar inside the market- back there they have all flavors of açaí bowls. "Da Dragon"…read moreaçaí bowl was awesome! Hot pink blended smoothie because it's made with dragonfruit- topped with fresh fruit: kiwi, raspberries, pineapple, mango, coconut, berries, banana, granola and a drizzle of honey. It was medium size and was huge! I ate the whole thing though because sure it was so delicious!! My son tried "funky monkey" and loved it!

I've been to Kauai tons of times but why only this recent visit I stopped here, something is wrong…read morewith me?! hehe. I happen to search lunch stops on Instagram and came across Lawai'a, I actually made 2 stops, the day before and the day of flight. Cute little store, very popular and busy parking lot. Lawai'a Fish Co. reminds me of Tanioka's back on Oahu. This business got so much seafood goodies along with snacks, desserts, Wow! One stop shop for everything! I also saw a post for cheap eats and had to see it for myself, hehe, the table in front has pre-packaged bento and I spot one that was $6. hard to believe nowdays. I didn't get the plate lunch which looks good too or the poke variety, we had lunch plans so first visit was spicy poke for the other half to try, the tofu poke, and $6. bento of fried ahi limu for me. I am not a fan of poke and don't eat anything raw, so jealous of my hubby and kids to love it so much! I was happy that hey have a fried ahi bento available for only $6. We/I really enjoyed bento, hubby mentioned the spicy ahi was great and that tofu poke salad, WOW. I loved the taste, comes with tofu, sea asparagus, and onion, so GOOD! I stopped by the next day to grab 2 containers of the tofu poke and the ginger fried poke $6. bento. This place is a GEM for sure, very busy, I cannot wait to be back!!

First, loved how local it feels and they sell a variety of poke, bento, cooked plates and even desserts! They also sell whole fish so you know the poke is fresh. I grabbed a pick 2 fish bowl with yuzu hamachi and chili garlic ahi. Loved the hamachi with was dressed with sea asparagus for a nice savoriness. You don't see hamachi poke often but it's one of my favorite types of sushi. Chili ahi was good as well and definitely had a kick. We also wanted to try tako (octopus) and got the kimchi tako which was nice and tender. Surprisingly the kimchi was pretty spicy too. Overall great spot for poke and I'll definitely need to come back if I'm in Kauai in the future. I'm still thinking about the hamachi poke a couple weeks ago.

We sat on the patio but they call the main dining room however it is outside. The host and the servers were very nice on both days helping us choose our dishes and beverages. The first night were shared the shrimp and unui (sp?) patties. They were tasty and slightly sweet but over-charred and the sauce served with them did not complement them very well. It needed a fresher sauce or something with a little kick The first night I Had the chicken Which is actually a tiny little bird I should've known from the name. - pouisson. It was well cooked, but there was very little meat on all of the bones. And also needed a sauce of some kind. The one baby bok choy was a nice addition. Two of the group had the fish and chips it was made with swordfish that night and was very tasty. However, the chips were slightly limp and not hot. No one wanted to return them, but they really were not very good. One of the other entrées was the veggie bowl with seared Aji tuna and it had quinoa at the bottom with lots of roasted beets and other vegetables. It was a very good dish. The second time I ordered the grilled seafood bowl because that night they were offering Oppa as the grilled fish on the kebabs/skewers that were served on top of the bowl the seafood was cooked, absolutely perfectly, and it had pickled cucumbers, pickled red onions, slightly cooked carrots, and then regular cucumbers on top of lightly dressed soba noodles. It was a very tasty and hearty bowl. We also ordered a kale, beet and blue cheese salad for the table, but what came out was their strange version of Caesar salad, which has chickpeas on it which of course we did not want. It took them quite a while to bring the kale and beet salad to the table, however when they did, it was quite tasty a combination I would not have thought of on my own The first night we ordered the passionfruit cheesecake which had a strange chocolate crust that was too thick and a very light topping of passionfruit. It was fine, but we would not order it again. The whole restaurant is a nice change from all of the really overpriced offerings in the area. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is professional and fun at the same time.

It was our last day in Kauai, and didn't want to spend our time at the airport, waiting for our…read moreredeye flight. So decided to go to Costco to see if their optical department could tighten my Costco glasses before heading back to the mainland. The optical department closes earlier than the store itself, so we ended up wandering around. We intentionally went there on the last day after our luggage had been packed, thinking it would prevent us from buying things to bring back. But there were two things that we don't see on the mainland, that were of good price: 1.5 Coffee beans from Molokai Estate Coffee (100% from Molokai, and which my wife confirmed later was very good) and a Ube cream Liquor from the Philippines, that went great with the said coffee. Both fit in our checked bags and made it home safe. It wasn't too crowded because it was close to closing and was of large size, including self checkout lanes. Another good visit to Costco.

I'm not really sure what's not to love about this Costco. Right after we got off the plane, we…read morechecked into our resort, and came straight here to grab a few necessities. We arrived late in the day, so we missed out on the fresh poke and other seafood goodies. At least were able to grab some bottled water, Taro Brand Salmon Lomi, and chips. Those items alone were worth grabbing, and lasted us the entire week. My admiration for this location is because it wasn't as crowded as the Honolulu locations. Or maybe we just arrived at a good time late in the day on a Monday. Here, we were able to navigate through easily and select various treats for gifting. Like Mauna Loa chocolate macadamia nuts, a variety of Hawaiian Host items, and I tripped out seeing these bell pepper crisp and a ramen crunch snacks. We bought two bags of furikake and shoyu flavored rice crackers, or arare. In the bakery, I died and really wanted to try this fresh baked Mayorca Suprema sweet roll. Check out my pic, you'll be droolin'! And you can't leave the store without buying a bag of Island Princess Macadamia Popcorn Crunch or their honey roasted macadamia nuts. We did see cheap, but made of decent quality rain jackets if you need one ($19). As well as some bargain deals on casual shoes and sandals. No problem upon check out, service was cordial. And oh yeah, their outside food court is the standard. Hot dog and a drink $1.50, chicken bake, and a slice of pizza. Sadly, nothing different. No issues finding parking either. In short, this Costco location has a wide variety of items not found on the mainland. Great gift items as well as supplies you'll need for your resort stay. I mean, you can go to the Island Market or ABC Store, but that's where it can start to get pricey. Just my thoughts and my words. To each his own!
