It is now the summer time and I need to find a million and one things to do so I can keep my kid busy and not bored out of her mind. After a beautiful Memorial Day weekend the weather got a little funky with all this rain so I decided to find something we could do indoors. That is how I ended up here at Menehune Mac. It's not a hard building to find but the entrance is kind of weird. You have to go around to the side of the building where you open up a door front then through another set of doors. As we entered we were greeted right away, Chocolates galore oh my! I have to say the best part is how you can sample EVERYTHING! Not only to they have chocoalte but also cookies, shortbread cookies called sandbars, and party mix. They also have jams and tea for sale. Loved everything! Now if you like milk chocolate they don't have much of a selection. Majority of their choclates seem to be dark. They do have options also for people that don't like chocolate but rather have white chocolate. Not sure how those taste like since I LOVE chocolate. Price of the chocoates are a little higher than what you buy at Watmart or Longs but it is quality chocolate. What I didn't know was how you could watch the workers make the chocolates. I don't think I mentioned it but all the chocolates are hand made. So yes that explains why the higher price point besides the quality of the chocolate. Yes I got a box of choclates, I think it was eight bucks for a nice size box. Yes it all dissapeared in one day. Man it better not rain anymore this summer or else I'll be stuck with an extra 10 pounds by the time school is back in session. read more

Stopped by there on the way to work to pick up their spicy Chex mix definitely a winner but doesn't stay on the shelf long. Locally owned and family run, very friendly and proud of their products. If your going there for something specific I would call ahead. read more

Can I just say AMAZING!! Loved this place! You can see how they are making all the different variety of delicious chocolates and confectionery. They have samples galore to taste and enjoy. I got the chocolate covered macadamia and they are delish!! Also bought some lilikoi sandbar and a jam!! Oh so good!! They are so friendly and answered all my questions. First time going there but definitely not my last when I go to Hawaii. read more

Menehune Mac Candies - Beautiful gifted pineapple jam and their DELICIOUS handmade macadamia chocolates.. - Candy Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great place to buy fresh Hawaiian made chocolates and shirt bread. We started by getting the sugar free dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts at NeimanMarcus. Later we found read more

I know it's hard to believe but good things do happen during a pandemic. Challenged as I was for the last nine months prior to this I found someone on the East Coast that have been amazing and help me more then they needed to. My husband was very ill and he eventually did passed away on July 1st and she cried with you. Now that's a real human being. I wanted to get her something extra special something Hawaii something small business could provide. Menehune math responded quickly, efficiently and with the best ALOHA. When you want the best you call the best Menehune Mac.. read more

What I love the most: Lilikoi Sandbars (cookies)--YUM! Dark chocolate arare and pineapple snow are also my go to's when I need to satisfy my sweet tooth. The owners there are just the nicest people. Love supporting small local family-owned businesses! read more

Menehune Mac came up during our research for wedding favors, so during a planned trip to Hawaii back in March, we stopped by their Honolulu showroom to check it out, and it was such a great decision! Their chocolates are so good, especially the unique offerings like pineapple snow Mac nuts. Their lilikoi sandbars and snack mix are amazing as well, and we picked those for our wedding because we didn't want to risk chocolate melting. I even prefer Menehune shortbread cookies over another well-known shortbread cookie chain that is ubiquitous in high-end shopping centers around Honolulu... Susan was an absolute pleasure to work with - she spent almost an hour working with us sampling, and she and her team completely surpassed our expectations wrapping our wedding favors and tying them in a very ornate ribbon. Fast forward to last week, and the favors were a smash hit with all of the guests. We can't recommend Menehune Mac more - not just for wedding favors, but for the quality and taste of their snacks period. We placed an online order after the wedding so we would have more goodies when we got back to the mainland! read more

Always love visiting this shop! Love their candies and mini craft goods area! Customer service is always friendly and helpful and makes you feel like a member of the family! I have also ordered online and always gotten goods in perfect condition and quickly. Best place for omiyage shopping! read more

Right up front, the 3 stars is for the price. The Good: - Great tasting chocolate and other treats. - They even sell some BBQ sauce that tastes great! Love the spicy. - Clean little shop. - Free sampling of the different kinds of chocolates. The Not So Good: - The main door is set back from the street, so it is a little hard to find. We almost missed it while driving by because I was looking near the road, and the sign was back a ways. - Small amount of parking. - Price. Seriously, I have a problem paying that much for a treat that will not last the day. They were good, but not that good. Bottom Line: If the prices were more reasonable, I would have given this place 4 stars. It drops down to 3 because it was expensive. I can't go any higher because See's chocolates is way better on taste. Still, if you are looking for a treat that is local and tastes great, this is a good place to come. read more

I go here every time I visit hawaii. Great experience dipping mac nuts for our wedding favors.

Amazing!!!! Chocolates/cookies made in shop, they even have tours. My favorite were the lilikoi cookies, unlike anything I've ever had and so delicious. If you're staying in Honolulu this is a MUST. Absolutely astonishing local business. The owners were such friendly and nice genuine people, didn't quite catch their names but made the experience 10x better than It would've been without having got to talk to them! read more

Ok, had to go back. More stuff on the shelves. Dark chocolate covered Arare!!! If you like sweet and salty and savory, this is it!!! i will surely land up in a diabetic comma, but it will be worth it!!! lol read more

Menehune Mac is a real Hawaiian Treasure. I read the review with the vanillin diss, they never mentioned how good the chocolates tasted. I know with inflation, for every local business struggles to keep their product at a good price point, so their chocolatier would have experimented long and hard to keep his standards high This is a local family run business, they are well known in the Chocolate Industry as having a world-class offering. They do not go after machine made loss leader Chocolate but hand make their chocolate in small batches daily. They love their product and you can really taste it. A visit to Oahu isn't complete without coming in and meeting this friendly and helpful "Aloha" Store. Life without Chocolate is like a beach without Water... read more

Great customer service! Always a go to place to order favors for parties. Great prices, reasonable considering all the work they'll do for you to make your party stress free. Thank you Susan! read more

I love this place!! Free samples of all kine goodies and friendly. Plenty of Aloha from this family run business.

Orange Creme and Pineapple Snow - these make for great gifts, as not everyone knows about them, and they're very yummy.

I arrived just as they were closing, but the owner very kindly stayed open for me. Not only did he urge me (several times) to "take my time," he gave me several delicious samples and we ended up having a quite fascinating chat about the cultural mores of Hawai'i and the mainland, specifically the Pacific Northwest. This store really defines "customer service." I brought back some of the dark chocolate mocha and dark chocolate macadamia nuts. They are delicious, held their freshness for nearly a month, and are very high-quality especially for the price. I plan to expand my selection the next time I am in Hawai'i and strongly recommend this vendor for anyone who wants to sample some seriously delicious chocolate. I'm just sad that I ate my last piece this earlier this evening. read more

Menehune Mac is a great example of local Hawaii business. When you walk in, you are greeted by friendly staff who encourage you to sample their products. I knew exactly what I wanted, but left with so much more! Being from Hawaii, I believe in buying and giving products made in Hawaii when I return to the Main Land. The sandbars are nothing short of amazing! They sell them only at the factory, on-line and at Neiman Marcus. Neiman's sells them for $40.00, so the factory direct pricing is a MUST ($19.99)! The chocolates are delicious and the variety is great! If you really want to bring back or send the gift of Aloha, visiting them is a must. Also, you can call them and they will honor the factory price and work with you on the shipping (the website price is high for shipping). Mahalo Nui Loa Susan! I'll see you soon! read more

Menehune mac is a great shop for its products. I've been buying gift baskets with their products for clients!!! I'm never ceased to be impressed by the presentation of their baskets as well as their great service which makes it easy to back again and again!! read more

A delight for BOTH tourists AND locals! Yes, I'm talking about the FREE samples. Read the previous word. Samples is plural-ized. There's a sample for pretty much EVERY single item they have in the store (food-wise, anyway), and you can pretty much go around and try EVERYTHING. I think the best part about it is that the workers don't really go around and look at what you're doing so you don't feel uncomfortable trying everything once (or a few times =P), although I only tried like two things, cause I really didn't want to be THAT guy. Yes, the location is a little out of whack for most people, especially tourists, but you can't beat fresh handmade chocolates, AND the chance to try before you buy. For a long lunch break I had, I decided to come here with the two Japanese visitors we had working with us so that they could pick up a few souvenirs before they returned home. While they were looking around, I couldn't help but sneak a few samples in my mouth. OMG. Those sandbars are effin delicious! I had a sample of the lilikoi sandbar and I wanted to keep sampling, but that would've been rude. But I know now if I ever need ANY omiyage, this is the place to get them at. I also tried the pineapple snow since it was new to me, and although I personally didn't care for it (more so because I'm not a big fan of white chocolate), my two Japanese friends really enjoyed it. They have a wide variety of flavors of chocolate covered macadamia nuts you usually can't get in stores, including the pineapple snow mentioned, matcha latte, orange creme, strawberry creme, and chocolate and Kona coffee. I was a little bummed out the factory wasn't creating any chocolates while we were there, but luckily, my friends each walked out with a few boxes of chocolates. I walked out knowing where I'm taking my foreign friends in the future, and exactly where to get omiyage (and maybe the chance to try a couple more samples next time). Menehune Mac is definitely the place to go for gifts and souvenirs for your friends and family! read more

I have always liked Menehune Mac chocolates over any of the many other brands. The chocolate is smooth and crisp.on a recent visit home we stopped at factory store and pleasantly greeted and offered many samples. While looking at some pics I realized the person who was so nice to us was the President of the company Neil. We bought sandbars and were talked into the Mac Nut okoshi. We are not disappointed at all. Wish I could've brought back some chocolate the 9 piece u pick box would have been my choice. Thanks for a great visit...hope to see you again soon! read more

GREAT chocolate!! I first heard about them at a wedding expo & bought a bunch for my wedding favors and it was a hit at my wedding, my favorite flavor there was this white pineapple chocolate?? and the people there are very nice & helpful, one person even helped me with center piece ideas with stuff from their store. :) read more

my new favorite candy! wow what a smooth settle flavor.

Wow! What an experience! ** I highly recommend this place for kids birthdays!!***My daughter just had her birthday party at Menehune Mac! Everyone is so nice and friendly! All of the kids and parents loved it! Each child and some parents made chocolate boxes. First the kids wrote their names on the boxes and some decorated it. Then the chocolate comes out and they have different things you can choose to add to your chocolate like macadamia nuts, Rice Krispies and sprinkles. After the 6 pack box is filled with chocolate there is a little chocolate left over in every ones bowl. They were so nice and they put some cookies in the melted chocolate!!! Boy did everyone love that! Then while we waited for the chocolate to harden they have a party room in the back that they let you use that was perfect with bathrooms. We brought some food and drinks and made a cute little craft. By that time the chocolate was all ready and the boxes were perfectly packaged for everyone to take home. Perfect 5 stars!! read more
