We only had a few minutes to shop at this part antique/part souvenir shop. Everything was 20% off. My husband bought three used license plates that were very reasonably priced. I bought several wood, lava, Pearl, and bead bracelets for the grandkids. There were many cats in the store and outside. The female owner said they have 30! She was feeding them at closing. read more

Only Show In Town - Front of store - Antiques Near Me - Kahuku, Hawaii

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! After reading all of the reviews I'm a bit envious that I never got the chance to meet the funny-half-witted history enthusiast, Paul. We did however, meet "a" Paul. My bf and I made a quick turn into the cute little plaza and stumbled upon this store of trinkets. We were greeted by what seemed to like a tiny sleeping sleeping person and a rooster on the front deck. Shortly after walking in I hear a cheery, but elderly, voice letting us know that everything in the store is 20% off. Thank goodness, because I was reading the review someone left 4 years ago and they had said that they visited during the 20% off sale so what good fortune it was to discover that they were having their semi-annual sale when we visited. While walking around I heard the store owner call out to Paul...asking him various things and calling out to him repeatedly. At first maybe I thought she was talking on the phone because no one was responding but when I jet around the corner low and behold there sits Paul, eyes wide and all, behind the counter. As we were shopping in the store, about 10-15 minutes, she continuously called out to Paul, I was waiting for Paul to respond, but no response. Finally when it was time to pay, the nice lady told Paul how much the bill was, and Paul was kind enough during the transaction, he entree the correct amount in the credit card machine and even handed us a pen and the receipt to sign. There were two cats roaming around so I don't know where the other 28 were as mentioned in previous reviews. Also the rooster was being a Mr nance and casually causing jump scares throughout the shopping experience. All in all I give this place 500/5 stars because the old couple. We'll never forget you Paul. P.S. if you're reading this and you're about to come to Oahu please please please GO OUT OF YOUR WAY to visit this store, buy something, but most importantly check up on the elderly couple, Paul and his wife. read more

We loved this place, but just stopped by, and it's been replaced by a t shirt store. I'm so hoping they just retired, I'm crying.

When I tell you my girlfriend and I will never forget this place, that is not hyperbole. The selection is phenomenal, very reasonable prices. I am not here to tell you about what to buy in this store though, my only concern is related to the two people running it . Unfortunately, I did not get the lady's name but I quickly learned the name of her companion, Paul. She called out to Paul a dozen times in a loud voice most likely related to hearing loss potentially secondary to living through the Pearl Harbor bombing based off the estimate of their age. The best part is that while Paul acted upon her inquisitive nature, I don't believe I actually heard him utter a single word the entire time I was in the store. The constant barrage of questions to Paul was astounding, he really kept his cool. Paul is not in a hurry to do anything in life, and didn't have time to talk to me. I feel very worried for these two and can tell they have numerous health concerns. I hope they are working because they want to do something, and not entirely dependent on the revenue generated. Please stop by and support these two, if nothing else, just to make sure they are still alive. We had some concerns when we first arrived, but the old lady eventually started puttering around. And just to qualm any concerns, the 20% discount is still going strong. What an incredible offer and so generous of this locally owned business!! read more

Love this little antique shop, we make sure to stop by every time were in the North Shore area! They have a huge selection of the cutest little beads of varying colors, shapes and sizes. My favorite pendant/bead is the toad one haha. Gave a few as gifts years ago and just picked up 2 more! Definitely come here if you want unique jewelry accessories!! The owners are some of the sweetest people i've met on the island. 5/5 service:) read more

On my days off, my all-time favorite treat is to drive around Northshore, and stop by this treasured antique store. This place brings back so many good memories as one of my fond memories is that I took my fiancé here as one of our first date and had such a fun experience. The couple Brenda and Paul is so friendly and welcoming, I always have such a blast talking story with them. Here at their store, they have absolutely almost everything here, antiques, collectibles, glass bottles, tikis, turtle little gifts, craft beads, aloha shirts, sarongs, license plates, jewelry, japanese dolls, hawaiian shells and other hawaii items. It's so much fun walking around looking at all the items they have as I never came across a store unlike this one! This is by far a must stop place to go whether you are kamaaina or here on vacation, because you can always find something unusual or even something to bring back for a loved one. This is a great place especially if you are visiting as you will be surprised how many gift items they have. Deals: everything is 20 percent off! Bathroom available!! And it's amazing how long they have been having their business, they are open Sun-Sat (everyday). They actually started their business in 1982 in Kauai, and sadly their store got hit by the Hurricane Iniki in 1992 that damaged majority of their store, and they had to build everything from ground zero. I enjoy supporting them as they work so hard every day, just the two of them, no matter if it's a Holiday, they continue to work hard each and everyday. They both are truly a one of a kind, and I value this shop along with them. read more

We recently came upon "The Only Show In Town" outside of Kahuku while touring Oahu's north shore. This shop is not to be missed if you are looking for that unique gift or odd item. The owner, Paul Wroblewski is refreshing-- a nice guy with a good sense of humor. The shop is packed with unusual beads, vintage collectibles, fishing floats, antique bottles, and you name it. It's on Kamehameha Highway between a couple of shrimp trucks. What a find! The Only Show in Town 56-901 Kamehameha Hwy Kahuku, HI 96731 808-293-1295 read more

Paul and Brenda are two of the best parts of Oahu's Northshore. We've been visiting their store for over a decade and are grateful we hit their famous 20% off everything sale each time. Paul was always the front man and Brenda, the heart. Unfortunately, time is catching up and Paul has suffered some health issues. But we know he is still there and we're more than happy to stop by whenever we're visiting. On a side note, they maintain a feral cat colony and can always use donations so even if you don't take advantage of the awesome things within the store, stop by and help out the Kahuku cats! read more

Really cool place to wander around. Had a lot of old vintage hawaiian postcards and pictures from WW2 era which found to be really awesome! I bought some to decorate my living room. The old couple that works there were really sweet, kind, and looked so frail to be honest. Talked stories to the old lady and felt kind of guilty when she tried to bend down to grab the newspaper to wrap the things I bought. They've been open for 25 years she said and I was happy to support local business particularly to folks that are so nice! read more

This place is incredible. Indonesian puppets, Kewpie dolls, antiques of all kinds. Lots of history here. The lovely owners are always happy to help. Always a highlight of our trip to the North shore. read more

Some amazing stuff here small mom and pop place with a big variety to choose from if your into antiques. Make sure you do research if you really want to buy some stuff especially the higher priced items. The only problem is that they are open on weekends only. read more

Charming antique store with a huge selection of collectibles and treasures. Perfect place to pick up souvenirs to give to family and friends, or add to your own collection. I got some adorable jewelry for myself and my kids got some trinkets to remind them of Hawaii. My husband is a huge antique guy and he got a rare Japanese glass fishing float that he absolutely loves and some Hawaiian antiques too. The owners are super friendly and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a specific item, ask them!! They will even pack and ship certain items for you at cost. read more

Great little store in a newly renovated plantation-style building with bright, happy colors, just before Kahuku Town if you're driving east (towards Kaneohe). Very interesting place to stop and browse-interesting blend of old and not-so-old things. Great oriental ceramics! Woo hoo! read more

This shop is a must see when touring Oahu. I love going to antique and thrift shops, I can't remember the last time I found a shop with the variety of really cool vintage items that they have. They specialize in glass floats, I had no idea these were so collectible, who knew? They have a fantastic collection of old Hawaiian license plates, Old postcards. This store has a very random selection of gifts and vintage items, so random that it was just perfect for somebody like me. The best part was meeting the owners, Paul has a very dry wit and sense of humor. I believe Paul told me that they have been at this location for about 30 years. I loved the contents of the store, I loved the little kitties walking around, and I really enjoyed talking with the owners who were such nice people. Another benefit to stopping here is the fact that it is located right next door to some of the best Hawaiian hand carved items I have ever seen. Stop here and enjoy both shops you will feel as though you have experienced Hawaii at its best. read more

Owner very cranky, didn't answer any ? With more than one word... acted annoyed that I was there. As far as products go, seems to be half antiques and half cheap souvenirs. And if you're looking for vintage Hawaiian items this isn't the place for ya. read more

They have neat little trinkets here. It's extremely random. But there's something for everyone here. My bf found bicycle licenses and picked one up for his old schwinn. I found glass floats that were pre-war. Some were rubbed into sea glass with strings still on it, some without the string but you could see the string marks as they were still smooth glass with sea glass around it. I thought that was a great piece of history to take home with me. read more

This place was totally worth the drive from Kailua! They have so many vintage finds like old glass bottles, glass floats, old license plates, old postcards, old military patches, little trinkets, Hawaiian souvenirs, etc, etc! The owners were really nice as well! Go visit them and buy some stuff. You're bound to find something for just about anyone there. :) Next time I'm up near the North Shore, I'll be stopping by again. read more

My friends and I stopped here to pick up souvenirs and the owner was extremely rude with us. Would NOT recommend stopping here, the Aloha spirit does not exist here. read more

I stopped in to browse and ended up finding several treasures, including a brass gong and mah-jong tiles for making jewelry. Many eclectic items to choose from and helpful owners. A nice find along the windward coast while driving to the north shore. read more

Came here on a whim based on the last review - so glad that I did! Walked off with some real finds from the 1950's that I loved and were affordable. Very eclectic stuff from Hawaii, Tibet, mermaid shaped beads, tons of glass floats, antique bottles, part antique - part kitsch. Great for browsing and it's packed to the rafters. Met the owners who've been doing this type of stuff for nearly two decades. A real refreshing treat from ABC stores and big hotel merchandise.. read more

Love it! My husband and I bought almost all our family gifts here for last years Christmas. We got a beautiful WWI bayonet for my grandpa (which he absolutely loved!). Also, my husband has an enormous train collection, which we added to from old school collectible trains from this shop. The gentleman and lady were extremely helpful and polite. They gave us a lot of good history and useful info on the items we purchased. In fact, I think I will come here again for all my special Christmas shopping! read more

Three visits to this nice store on our 10 day visit from Wisconsin. We'd go back again and again. Great place to browse and shop. So many unique and beautiful items. Full range of prices for lovely gifts great and small to take home for friends and family or important pieces to add to your own collections. Super nice people. Super, super nice people. And we love their cats--especially Annie, their white mama cat, lying on the counter to be petted and admired. When we visit the islands again, we'll be sure to return to this great, interesting store. read more
