Small general store kind of dated and run down. It is run by a 3-generational family with the son as the cashier. He was not very friendly and seemed to have a bad attitude and was not very helpful when we asked him if he had certain items. His mother however, was much nicer. They seem to have an eclectic stock ranging from snack items to supplies for the beach and surfing, such as water shoes. They have a large variety of chips, many flavors of which I haven't seen before, and they carry a lot of miscellaneous touristy souvenir items. I was disappointed at how small the store was and how it didn't live up to the hype in the advertisements. They no longer have hot Mexican food that other yelpers have raved about. The cashier told us the guy who made the Mexican food quit a few months ago. read more

Wanted to get a T-shirt for my grandson. In the middle if the purchase realized I wanted 3 of them total. The woman at the counter was super RUDE! Stated they are 3 for $20 or $50. I replied I dont care how mucu please, I just want 3 of them. She started telling the man behind the counter. "I want to say something but I am behind the counter". I said, please, can uou just ring me up for three of the shirts. She kept talking smack so I looked at a friend and said isnt it so that if we say we want to buy something we just by it, there shouldnt be the hassle because we do not have to patronize the place. She behind the counter kept yapping her mouth. I then asked for a refund & left. Do NOT deal with her if you want to enjoy your vacation. read more

I love this store. Mary Ann, Helen and Ray have a lot of aloha and always very pleasant. I go in once a week for my special orders and it is always a pleasant experience when these 3 people are working. The store has a little bit of everything. read more

My bf and I discovered this hidden gem on our first trip to Hawaii after visiting the pie place next store. A local told us that some of the best places to eat are at the gas stations and general store and by golly was he right. Not only do they have your typical general store stuff like chips, drinks and snacks but they also have a bunch of hot food that you can grab to go that taste like homemade goodness. They have a really nice selection too, from an omelette with sausage and rice, BBQ chicken, loco Moco, hamburger steak and so much more. And oh, always get the spam musubi because everyone needs a spam musubi to go. We visited this place at least 4x on our 5night stay because of the great food and the amazing, hard working lady that owns the shop made us feel at home every time we stopped by. Wish we had amazing local shops like this in WA. This place was seriously one of the highlights of our trip. Thanks for the great service and food! read more

Olowalu General Store - Omelette with sausage and rice, and beef and chicken in the back. Both delicious! - Convenience Stores Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Who knew you can find super good Mexican food at a general store. Yes, that's right they serve some awesome Mexican food here. They have a complete in house kitchen and you can tell it is all homemade. Not too many really good Mexican places on the island. This stop however is not to be missed. Also side note their hot dogs served at the register are also super yummy. read more

Right next door to Leoda's, this local stop looks like it's been here for years. Nothing fancy inside, just a family owned convenience store, but there's a small kitchen for plate lunches ($10). They also have bentos, shave ice, and some simple baked goods. The guava cheesecake ($4) looked good. If only Leoda's wasn't next door with their awesome pies. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/GeXBFV0YMM-dQo2TIoWTuA?select=gkAtiqI90V6gaqABoVep1A) My favorite part was their wall of fame.

Olowalu is exactly what the name implies. Fast quick simple General Store. If you're heading to the beach, coming from the beach, camping on the beach or on your way back to your hotel. This is a convenience store to pick up stuff you forgot or need. They've got Shave Ice. Roselini ice cream, coffee, food, $2 hot dogs, sweets, snacks and souvenirs like a Spam Musubi travel pillow. They also have hot musubi's ready to go. read more

Great little store on the drive to Lahaina. When you see the trees covering the road you're getting close. The staff was super friendly. We talked with a great lady who gave us some pointers on the shave ice. The shave is is humungous and reasonably priced. Try the creamer on top! read more

Love this place. Been coming here for over 20 years for butter mochi. So good! Get there early, or it's gone. Friendly people.

Stopped in here on our way to Wailea. Picked up the fried rice musubi with spam and the regular spam musubi. Cheap and tasty as a snack.

What can I say about these guys. I love this family! I have lived on the island for a while and I always stop in and get a hot dog and some banana jerky. Such a cute little place with great local stuff. They make you feel right at home. It's a must stop on your way to Lahaina. read more

Up near the register there is an amazing treat called "butter mochi" that is homemade by the family who owns the shop and is so gooey and delicious that my family talks about it for months after we have left. Totally worth the stop. read more

We always joke about the red hot dogs but that's the first stop our family makes getting off the plane. Always friendly and so much aloha comes from this store. Worth the stop! read more

One of the best shave ice locations on Maui!!! Outstanding flavor selections... Greg was extremely nice... we will definitely be returning to this place soon! read more

Amazing shaved ice! Great service and tons of flavors! Super great price too! Mary was super helpful yesterday! One of the best shaved ices I've had on the island! read more

I still love this general store. It has bentos to go. Shaved ice and for me the musubi. I've been coming here for years and the prices are fair considering and the staff always great to chat with Today we came for musubi and pie but that's is another review. The musubi is unlike traditional sweet teriyaki sauce fried spam. This is more like boiled spam with furakai rice toppings with nori wrapping. You are either gonna love it or hate it But I love it for years it's a different style of musubi. Our family like chili sauce spread over the top of the rice. I like the fact that it has sent changed in years the food plus 2.00 kind of hard to beat. read more

This site with the petroglyphs is located conveniently not too far and somewhat behind the Leoda's Kitchen & Pie Shop and the Olowalu General Store. We walked along a dirt path to the trail head. I saw cars driving up closer. But the trail was short and soon we were in front of the etching on rocks. It's hard that see with better lenses as we could not get closer. You need keen eyesight to see the etchings especially with the sun glare. We bought souvenirs at the quaint General Store afterwards which was like a bonus for this quick trip. read more

Sweet family owned store with the best Mexican food I've found in Maui! The dude making it is from Michoacán so you know it's the real deal. Opens 5am with hot breakfast options and coffee ready to go for the early commuter too. Super friendly people and my regular stop on way to work. So stoked I found this somewhat hidden gem!! read more

The Olowalu General Store is a hidden treasure located at mile marker 15 on Honoapi'ilani Highway. The staff is so nice and very helpful. This little general store offers a wide variety - plate lunch, snacks, supplies, Maui-made products. After a long trek in hot weather, we stopped by for a shave ice to cool down and quench our thirst. Wow! So delicious and huge. Coconut fans definitely should have the Olowalu Special Shave Ice. Then we bought some boiled peanuts for a snack. Their boiled peanuts are made with star anise. Yum. Parking is along the side of the building by Leoda's. read more

Love this place, always a must visit when I'm on the island. Grabbed the Olowalu Joy Bar today, and it was amazing! Yesterday, I ordered a shave ice and you can put up to 4 flavors, then they give you a holder if you want to eat it right outside. This is one of the hidden gems of Maui and we always make sure to stop by when we can. There's great food, great people, it has everything you need in a one stop shop. read more

Super kind shaved ice specialist! Complete with jokes and helpful descriptions of all the flavors. You can get as large or small as an ice you want. Lychee was great! read more

When I went up the teenager at the register in the General Store in Maui I asked him if he had boiled peanuts (as the sign said). He looked annoyed that he had to look up from his phone but slowly nodded a yes. It was obvious that I wanted the location and that I did not ask properly. We stared at each other for long five seconds before I asked. Where would I find those? The kid takes his time and mumbled something like "location" under his breath. He then proceeds to walk backwards and have me follow him. Backwards he walked. At first I hesitate and then I follow and then unable to hold a laugh any longer after he takes 3 turns while walking backwards I stop walking and laughing and ask why he's walking backwards. Please tell me this is the new teenage fad I thought (hey I've seen worse). He directs me with his finger to follow him as if he's directing traffic. We arrive at our destination and he says "I'm trying to memorize it backwards..." Best directions I've ever gotten. So if you see a kid walking around Maui backwards just leave him alone. He's got a good reason, probably... read more

A convenience store located next to Leoda's Kitchen along the main highway. It's a great pit stop for cold drinks, snacks, candy, shave ice, bentos, sandwiches and souvenirs. The hubby and I bought bottled water and spam musubis here for the road. The musubis tasted great as an afternoon snack. I loved the teriyaki flavor of the spam! With a wide variety of grab-n-go items, we would definitely come here again. read more

Pit stop before heading to Lahaina from Wailuku. Stop in, get a hot dog. They're yummy. Get some air freshener for your car. Take in deep breaths, you're gonna need it. Roll up your windows, Next door is the Olowalu dump. They've cleaned it up, in a laid back, Hawaiian time, Maui style sort of way. It still wreaks and you'll see plastic bags and diapers stuck in the trees. Welcome to Maui, isn't it lovely? read more

We stopped for shaved ice and we were very disappointed in the taste. The serving was large but it had hardly any flavor, we tossed them out before we left the parking lot. $5 for each wasted. Also the server and the cashier were unfriendly. Looked around the store and Goods only slightly cheaper than our hotel shops. Reviews said the Mexican food was very good, we didn't try it. read more

This was definitely the place to stop for the popular Hawaiian cold treat, shaved ice!! Right off highway 30, it was conveniently located right off the road in between Lahaina and the airport in Kahului. Olowalu reminds me a lot of the many family owned convenient stores you see in the Philippines. In fact, In addition to shaved ice and the normal convenience store goods, they also serve hot Filipino dishes. One day they had chicken adobo and lumpia. The shaved ice is very good here and they had many flavors to choose from. The lychee and watermelon flavors were sweet and refreshing. Friendly people that work here. When your in the area definitely a convenient place for a pit stop! read more

Small gas convenience store with great musubi! Well not as great as the musubi place in Waikiki , but much better than your average supermarket musubi. They do not accept cards for small purchases, but have their ATM. read more

Hungry??? Don't get a Snickers, get yourself a Tery beef sandwhich! The sandwhich is pretty legit if you want something light. The place is a lilttle convinience store and the Teri beef sandwhich is a hot sandwhich with chunks of shredded beef with cucumber on a hot dog bun with Japanese Mayo. You can't really see it displayed as its made to order and the ingredients are behind the cash register. If you want to make it a meal instead of a snack you might want to get two or three of them with some shaved ice. The sandwhiches are small and perfect for a small snack. read more

Nice little General store next to Leoda's. I bought some spam musubi and a rice bento with korean beef for the plane ride home. Has some nice Hawaiian trinkets and lots of local food such as shaved ice. read more

This store has been here for decades, shaded by a row of Monkeypod trees, a mid point between Lahaina and the Pali. Here is a secret worth knowing: hidden in the corner is their shaved ice counter. It has amaze balls shaved ice, with the ice the perfect grain size to really grip the syrup. To me, this is the best on Maui. The rainbow offers up five tropical flavors.Five stars all the way. read more

Great little store stocked with local items from around the island along with convenient store staples like drinks, chips, candies, and other snackables. Tried their pulled pork sandwich in a hot dog bun and their red hot dogs which were good but not great. They also, have homemade Maui ice-cream. A great place to stop for beach supplies. read more

Their misubis are so good and the owners are so friendly and nice. I got the regular spam misubi, Portuguese sausage with fried rice, jalopeno misubi, and teriyaki misubi. My favorite so far are the teriyaki because it's flavorful and sweet and the jalopeno because it's spicy and flavorful. The others were good but not as flavorful. read more
