    Store Front!
    Lisa A.

    At first I was disappointed due to no restroom privileges were allowed, however I found a decent portable restroom which was acceptable. I was grateful we visited- the prices to me were "normal" for the souvenir supplies. Hubby found a couple of swivels and strong for his fishing expedition. Staff was real friendly-parking was a little tight, but it's to be expected.

    we stopped here when we first got to maui, so many fun things to choose from! the lady in the shop was so beyond nice! we ended up getting a pineapple & the small truck next door cuts it for you! it was so hunch better than pineapple in cali ! so if you have time stop to get fresh pineapple!

    Nestled in the monkeypod tree tunnel on Hwy 30, it is one of the most recognized shops that have been around but you always pass by. Why? The store is alone in a stretch of the highway where there is nothing and where the traffic is constantly pushing making it hard to slow down and enter. With that said... Homemade Mochi is why we come. The Musubi is decent enough to pick up for the beach. Chilled local drinks in the coolers. Various miscellaneous items you might need or think you need. It looks classic because it is classic. Looks old because it is old. The lady is much more nicer than the grumpy dudes.

    I love this place! They have the best fruit here you can get fresh. We got like 3 papayas to eat for breakfast every morning during our stay in Maui. They have all kinds of goodies from seasonings to pancake mix to candies and touristy trinkets. Its also right next to leodas pies which I hear are also a must try. The people running this general store are so friendly and treat you like family.

    They sell fishing poles and pool noodles

    Most known for the "red hot dogs" which are less of a Hawaii thing and more Filipino. We didn't get the hotdogs and instead came for a cold drink since the juice stand was on break when we stopped by. It's a very interesting store that's been open since 1932. They have normal convenience store items like rows of cold drinks but also odd items like fishing poles. There is also a small kitchen where they make warm foods like the hotdogs and fresh chicharrones. The spam musubi was sold out when we went in the afternoon but we did get the Bibingka which the kids loved. It's a Filipino mochi with sugar and butter and a nice seared outside. While I struggled to find Li Hing powdered sweets at other places they have a ton of different varieties here. They are "obachan's" branded and very good.

    I've lived on Maui for most of my life and only just recently stopped by Olowalu General store for the first time. They're located right next to Leoda's and have parking available in the front and to the sides of the store. The store is older and upon walking in it's like stepping back in time, giving up all the mom and pop shop vibes. They have a small but mighty selection of all the general things you would need, including drinks, snacks, snorkels, sun screen, and even some souvenirs for the tourists. I was actually surprised about the variety of items! I bought some drinks to go with my lunch from Leoda's and was quickly on my way. Overall, good quick stop!

    Support local always! I love this little mom and pop stop. It has a little bit of everything. A great halfway point on the way to Lahaina or back to Central. There's shave ice, poke bowls, ice cream, and they're known for their local hot dogs too! Must be a Maui thing. You have to get it with all the toppings! My favorite thing there is the fresh chicharron! You have to try it! It's located next to Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop as well as a little farmers market and small butterfly farm. You can't miss it! But be mindful of traffic!

    I remember stopping here with the fams growing up and on beach trips with my friends in high school on the way to west side. So nostalgic. The gotta stop place for red local style hot dogs. Still reasonably priced, and still hits the spot. Today stopped on in the middle of work while driving from south maui to west side. Hot dog as good as I remembered. Hit the spot.

    If you see this store front, head on IN!!

    If you are going to be traveling to West Maui (Lahaina, Ka'anapali, etc), this is a MUST stop for your sundry needs and some local delicacies. First of all, by stopping here you are supporting a local family business. With your shopping comes MUCH island love and smiles (yes you can see it through the masks, they are that bright). You can pick up your sunscreens and tanning lotions here, your water shoes. T-shirts and fun stuff for your Keiki. But what you SHOULD be buying here is their boiled peanuts and butter mochi. Both of these items are made in house and are DELICIOUS. Fair warning, they are SO good, they usually sell out by noon, so make sure you come early and often. I've been coming to Hawaii since I was a child and THIS shop reminds me of what Hawaii really is, Ohana. I love everyone who works in this shop. With everything they make, they infuse it with love and island magic. There are prepared foods here, that you can use to for a beach picnic. Stop by and tell Maryanne and Helen I sent you. They are my sisters from another Mother. #supportlocal #mauilove

    A small general store to pick up some things you need, or maybe not. Nothing really special in my mind other than maybe location.

Perhaps it's because we decided to show up 8 mins before closing, but the food and service were unforgettable in a concerning way. I had asked for my burger with no tomato (twice) and I still managed to receive the *wrong* burger and WITH tomato. We told the cashier our name twice and he still wrote it incorrectly completely. Also worth noting, halfway into my incorrect burger, I noticed a majority of it was pink. I got grossed out and stopped eating it immediately. The burger was not that warm to begin with. The umami fries were good but pretty messy, given the fact we had no napkins for a Togo order. Two burgers and umami fries came out to $50. Absolutely not worth it and not quality ingredients or service. At all. Additionally, the staff member handed our order to somebody else before handing it over to us. The bathroom lock was not operating correctly so you need a buddy system. The bathroom appeared clean, but reeked of urine. I do not recommend this establishment and definitely will not be returning.
