As a vegan, this market is a…read moredream -- incredible fruits and vegetables, beautiful organic produce, and such a wide variety of local offerings. Every Saturday morning feels like a reset for the soul. It's at the old sugar mill Saturday's 8:30-1:30. No early birds! You have to wait until 8:30 to shop, no exceptions. What truly sets this market apart, though, is the people. The vendors are some of the best you'll ever meet -- kind, honest, hardworking, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I've met some truly wonderful people here, the kind who make you feel connected to the community the moment you arrive. From local organic produce to fresh flowers, honey, mushrooms, handmade jewelry, sourdough bread, and so much more, there's always something special to discover. It's getting more popular and busier each week, which is such a good thing -- it speaks to how special this market really is. If you love supporting local, value quality, and want to experience the heart of the North Shore, Waialua Farmers Market is a must. I honestly can't say enough good things about it. See you there and SYOY! Deb B

They also have a few vendors with local crafts, jewelry, soaps etc. One of my favorites was the local peanut butter-- definitely recommend trying a sample from them! It is a dirt lot and can get a bit dusty. It also gets hotter later in the day- I def recommend trying to get in as early as possible for best selection and weather.

Since the farmers market is pretty small, the service is always friendly. I recently ordered a sushi roll from one of the vendors, and when my food was ready, he came looking for me to deliver rather than me having to go back to see if my order was done. Some of the offerings at Makiki Farmers Market include: Thai, baked goods, sushi, pies, produce, desserts, stuffed breads, and Mexican. The farmers market is open Thursday afternoons/evenings in the parking lot of St Clement's Episcopal Church. Very limited street parking. Some cars park in the lot at nearby Makiki Park, which is open to the public.

And not far behind is SMALL KINE FARMS (who is usually there the second and fourth Sunday of the month) for their baby portobello mushrooms. The workers at both booths are friendly and very helpful in answering any questions that you might have. There are several HANDICAP PARKING stalls near the entrance to the market.

It's held every Sat. from 8:15 am to 9:30 am on Kalihi St. and with over 40 different vendors the place was packed with people hunting for fresh fruit and veggie goodness. What makes this place stand out from your typical farmers market is the fresh fish that they sell. One of the vendors was selling fish that he had caught the night before and at very reasonable prices. One caveat about the fish...this isn't a supermarket so plan on having to scale and clean those bad boys yourself once you make it home! Prices are relatively inexpensive and the quality of the produce is excellent. My find of the day? Buttery avocados that melted in your mouth they were so creamy. So why not five stars you may ask? Well parking was a bit difficult, and because the market was open for such a short period of time my shopping resembled more of a panicked sprint than my usual leisurely marathon.

Far from a large scale production of a farmers market on Oahu, the Kaimuki Open market definitely…read moreisn't one of those. Close friends (if you come here enough times) and deals can be felt here on a daily basis. It's a very definitely small scale operation that takes up very little room and scores up many delightful fruits and fresh produce for your daily needs. It's not much of a theatrical production, as the larger farmer's markets in various spots around urban Honolulu and across Oahu, but there is some value associated here. It's your usual cadre of local residents that want to enjoy the fresh produce that comes with farmer's markets, but want to be within the reaches of Kaimuki town. The Kaimuki Open Market could be categorized as a small niche of people bartering and selling among themselves, but why do it in the public eye? Not sure about that, but I guess it's the way it is here and buying among friends and family is like that, along with passers by who are also looking for a great deal as well. The overall experience here was definitely pleasant, but weird at the same time. I'd come back here more, if the farmer's market either at Kapiolani Community College did not have the stuff I need. The Kaimuki Open Market is neatly tucked away in the side streets of Kaimuki town, located on 12th Avenue across the street from the First Hawaiian Bank - Kaimuki branch. They usually operate on Saturdays, Is use you where I see them. Not sure if the do this open market on the week days, but I will be surprised if they do. If they do, it will probably during normal working hours. Usually cash will be king here, since I do not believe they take credit cards at all. Luckily there is a major bank next door or across the street, namely First Hawaiian Bank and Bank of Hawaii. Parking can be plenty for all, if you use the municipal parking lot but you would have to pay money. There's always street parking nearby but there will be some walking involved to get here. Of course, there is no admission fee, so that's always a good thing. Sometimes I will see someone new in the neighborhood buying stuff from here and it's always gratifying to see familiar faces periodically on the weekends. While you won't find vendors that will cook up a tasting meal, you just find a small assortment of produce that is fresh and compatible with whatever you are cooking / preparing for the day or week. Take this opportunity to venture out in your comfort zone and come here, as the alternative to supermarkets, Costco, and other nearby localized farmer's markets in and around town. Since I do live nearby, I thought it would be a nice gesture to check things out here on a recent Saturday and hit up the Kapiolani Community College mega farmer's market later on. For me, it was the perfect opportunity to get what produce I needed for work and home, while being quite close to home really. I can shop here on the weekends and know that I can get the best price and deal for my hard-earned dollar, as well as seeking other deals for friends and family by shopping here. While Whole Foods and various supermarkets are are very much in the Vinicity, shopping here at the Kaimuki open market can be adventurous and be out of your comfort zone. It's always nice to look at first. You'd probably would find something you're looking for, but for a better deal. Support local! B+ *1400th review and 100th first to review on Yelp! Yeh!! :)

We went to the market on a Friday and it was okay. Not a big market, you can clearly see all the…read morevendors as you enter and see the first one. You may argue that the fort street mall can be an extension of the market in some ways, but that's mostly just more food. There was one vendor selling fresh produce and a bit of others: breads, honey/condiments, catering sandwich one, and maybe two others selling crafty goods and accessories. Probably wouldn't make plans just to go here but if you happen to be by when they are open, might be a nice walk at the very least.

Farmers Market in Downtown Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I remember that this Farmers Market was busier, more crowded, and filled with vendors a few years ago... Today, 12-23-22, there were about seven vendors: two were produce vendors; two were jewelry; one was plants; and two were tote bags/shirts. Hmmm... I was thinking about the last-minute Christmas shoppers... Because it was kind of empty... Maybe I was too early in the day? Do they all visit on their lunch break? I had parked at Walmart (entrance on Bethel Street). I had two hours of parking with a purchase of $20 or more, so, I thought I'd take a look at this Farmers Market. The fresh produce was sure tempting. However, I resisted and returned to my car with my Walmart purchase! Maybe I'll return if I need some gifts! Note: this Farmers Market is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7am to about 1pm.

Shopping and dining in Kailua Town, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. My neighbor and I drove over to the Kailua Farmers' Market for an early dinner. We parked for free (by Longs Drugs) before the opening time of 4pm on a Thursday to get easier parking... because half of the Farmers' Market uses the covered parking area and the other half is in the open part of the parking lot... in the sun (and rain). There was a variety of food and beverage vendors and maybe two stalls with fresh produce. There was mellow live music and a calm crowd. It's in a nice paved area with friendly vendors! It happens only 3 hours a week, so schedule it in your planner!
