I just love this place. They make really good popcorn hurricane popcorn that is. I usually call them while walking to their shop so it's fresh and ready. And their selection of crack seed is delicious too. I tried their red vines whip with li hing for the first time. Omgawd it's sooooooo sooooooo good And soft. But my popcorn is a must have when on the East side of the island read more

Rainbow Crack Seed - Hurricane fix - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

I love this place. Reminds me of the small crack seed, icee, shaved ice place growing up as a child. They have a lot of local favorites. The shaved ice is always good. They offer a lot of sides. Way better and cheaper than Matsumoto on the north shore. The gals are always helpful and friendly. Keep up the good work. read more

I am kind of germaphobe. So what's one of my nightmares? A candy store. Children and icky sticky candy do not go hand in hand (literally!) as far as cleanliness. Rainbow Crack Seed is a different kind of candy store. Pretend you are on playing Room Raiders on MTV. You take out the infamous black light of shame, which has grossed you out with all previous contestants. You shine it around. Wait... there's NOTHING. OMG YOU FOUND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, CALL THEM OUT OF THE WHITE SPY VAN OUTSIDE SO YOU TWO CAN GET MARRIED. I am sold. Despite the weird beanie babies in this room (Yes, they sell Beanie Babies here), I want to go out with Rainbow Crack Seed. read more

See all

This place has been here forever! A great place to get "ICEE" I can order it with a scoop of ice cream too ! The popcorn is not as ono as it used to be. Did they change something? I'm giving it 2 stars because they discontinued the punch card, the popcorn quality went down & Every time I go in there, the manager snobs her customers! She looks @ who comes into the shop then turns around to continue her little jobs.Not a shout out "hello!"? Are you not thankful for your customers? Sometimes my grandsons & I walk there in our Double stroller ( the whole stroller with both boys & the diaper bag weighs at least 75lbs!) So, the first place we stop would be somewhere to get a cool drink! So-so service. All boba drinks are used with powder. read more

Service was terrible even though I was the only customer. Said hi to the counter girl when I entered and she just looked at me and went back to what she was doing. Felt like I was bothering her shopping in the store. Only positive was asking an older lady, maybe owner, about a product she was nice to respond. read more

My bf took me here to show me that I could get omiyage here for my fam back home, but I was overwhelmed by all of the options!! We were preparing to go camping so I thought we could come back another day so I didn't pick out too many things. I did get a li hing gummi mixed pack for myself...selfish...and it was good. He also got shave ice here and it was just rainbow but it was still yummy. I am so impressed by how fine all the shave ice is everywhere we went. He shared with me which was nice. :} I wouldn't know the goodness of it until later, but he got popcorn, too. I have heard of hurricane popcorn before, but not tsunami. He got a large bag of tsunami popcorn which is like hurricane because it has the arare and furikake but also has chives, and sour cream and something else that I can't remember. We didn't eat it until our camping dinner that night, along with dinner I should say. It was so good!!! So much flavour in every bite, he said. We ate it again the next day and he even told me he just finished it like a couple days ago. The large was huge and it lasted so long. I would definitely recommend it. And I wish I could go back and check out all the other stuff!! read more

Rainbow Crack Seed - tsunami popcorn!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

We went to visit my father-in-law at the graveyard and decided to get shave ice after. We usually go to Shimazu's on school street but someone in our party said they heard Rainbow Crack Seed had good shave ice. Since we were in the area we decided to give it a try. What a mistake! The older lady, whom I think was the owner, was very rude. We brought 14 people into her shop - you'd think she would be grateful. We ordered 13 shave ice (most with ice cream), bag Hurricane popcorn, bag honey milk balls, bag olive cake, bag li hing mui seed, and bag li hing lychee gummies. After 3 of us gave her our shave ice flavors a group of 3 and a single lady walks in so we decided to let them go ahead of us so they wouldn't have to wait forever. The owner yells at the younger girl to help whoever walks up to the register because they don't have time to wait for our flavors. What's bi7ch! We let her know we were letting the other people go in front of us so they didn't have to wait long. The other customers thanked us and we continued to give our flavors. The girl rings us up before I got a chance to give mine and didn't ring some of our candies so we told her we'll just pay separately since my brother-in-law was already in the process of paying. She gave him his receipt and told him he got a $5 reward on his next purchase. He tells her to put it towards our check and she says ok. When she rings us up we ask her if that was with the $5 off and she says, "yes". However, when we got the receipt it didn't reflect $5 off so we asked her where it was and she said she forgot to deduct it. OMG! We ask her if she can just refund us $5 and she asks the owner and gets yelled at again! The owner yells that the person who got the reward usually has to use it because it's attached to their phone number but if he wants to give it away then he can. WTF?? So she yells at the young girl that she has to do a refund and ring us in again then apply the discount. So the girl does and can't figure out how to do it. With an attitude the owner comes and tries to do it herself but then tells us she can't find the reward. We show her the first receipt that clearly states we got one and she tries for another 10 minutes to figure out what went wrong and finally decides to just refund us $5. What a dumb bi7ch. We will never go back because of her lack of customer service and how she treats her employees. If I were the young girl I would've walked out and quit! The shave ice was not very good. It was not the fine kind of ice that really holds the syrup like Shimazu has. The flavors tasted watered down. The ice cream was more like soft serve. The olive cake was extremely dry (like waaay more than it usually is) and old/stale tasting. Oh and did I mention, the owner was a rude ass bi7ch! I just got home 9 hrs later and checked my credit card online and it doesn't show a refund for the 2nd transaction she said was refunded before charging us again. Not sure if it takes a while to show up but I'm definitely keeping track of it. read more

After hearing from so many people, my BF and I were on a mission to find the best hurricane popcorn. Went to Long's Drug one night and the cashier told us that this little joint in Kaneohe has the best hurricane popcorn. Welps...i agree, sort of. Unfortunately, by the time that we got there they were almost closed and had already turned off the popcorn machine..so boo. We didn't get to try the hurricane popcorn that was made properly by them, but the staff was very nice in giving me distinct directions on how to make it at home with their prepackaged hurricane popcorn mix. Well..perhaps we didn't do such a good job, since it turned out okay. But i can see how if all the toppings were nicely incorporated and glued together by the appropriate amount of butter, that stuff would be amazing. If i'm ever back on this side of the island, I will definitely come back and give it another try. read more

I really want to be a fan. I really do because I want to give my business to a mom and pop shop as they are starting to disappear. But is this place really one? I remember coming here as a kid while living in Kaneohe. However, I just recently came here this past weekend and I didn't have that feeling. They have a good selection of products. Prices are reasonable if not cheaper than most places. But the customer service was not there. There was 4 people that seemed like they were working there. However, they were all chatting. Just one person ringing up and making my Icee. You would think one ring up and the other make the Icee. As I was walking out, I noticed that the Icee was dripping down my hand and down my white short. I was really upset not looking at the Icee and getting a napkin before walking out. I'm hoping this was just an off day....... read more

Should be 5 stars cause the shaved ice is amazing. Just don't go in within 90 minutes of closing. Our party of 4 has gone in 3 times this week, both popcorn and shaved ice shut down for the night. Pretty disappointing!! read more

The shave ice is good but it got really expensive. Not worth the price. It's just ice (frozen water) and syrup.

They let you sample all, wide variety.

Best popcorn mixes!!! I always get the Tsunami. Popcorn, butter, sour cream powder, furikake, and Mochi crunch! So good and fresh. Tasty!!! They also have a variety of the usual seed store snacks. They also do helium balloons. read more

Finally made it here! Their selection is stupendous and the prices pretty reasonable. Located in the Windward City Shopping Center near Foodland and Long's Drugs in Kaneohe. The parking can sometimes be challenging, but once you find a spot, walk to this place and get your goodies! From crack seed to bubble tea to arare and candies. Reminded me of the Mom & Pop shops from years ago! The place is small and was packed when I went, but the line goes fast and the young ladies in there are super friendly and fast! I found my new go to place for cravings! read more

FAIL. The bobas are not fresh/hard!!! Ruined my day. This place used to be good. So disappointed. read more

I'm confused, surprised, and intrigued about the bubble drink I just enjoyed from Rainbow Crack Seed this afternoon. Made a stop here because my boyfriend wanted an icee float and I decided to try a boba drink. Priced at $4.10 and made from powder I had pretty low expectations. Just a few sips in and I was impressed! No hard and crunchy ice crystals from not being blended well, but instead smooth and creamy yumminess. But the boba is what made me say "hmmmm". The firm texture was great, but the flavor wasn't the norm. It had a strawberry/li hing-like taste. The bubbles were a transparent red color and I just couldn't stop sippin'! Anyone know what's the deal with the mystery bubbles? Was this just a fluke? A one off??? So many questions!!!! read more

I love me some Rainbow Crack Seed! They've got all the good stuff here as far as Li-Hing candy and seeds go. I pretty much love Li-Hing covered anything, so this place always makes me happy. They do have more than just Li-Hing Mui covered candies and snacks, though. They also have a variety of chocolate covered goodies, malt balls, pretzels, cuttlefish, mochi crunch...and the list goes on and on. Yep, they have a great variety, and you can have them put together cute little gift baskets of all your faves for special occasions. They even ship to the mainland, so you can send you distant ohana a little piece of home. :) Aside from all of their bagged goodies, they also make shaved ice and bubble tea's in a pretty big variety of flavors, Icee's (Pepsi or Strawberry, add ice cream or li-hing for a little extra), smoothies, popcorn (including the local favorite, Hurricane mix- furikake and mochi crunch), and even the new trend called snow ice, which is like a cross between shaved ice and ice cream. Its sort of creamy, but really light at the same time. It looks "different," for lack of a better word, but it tastes awesome and is definitely worth a try. All of the prices here are super reasonable, the workers are friendly and quick, and it's within a big shopping center so there is plenty of parking [although I'm not gonna lie, the parking lot can be a bit of a nightmare if you come at the wrong time. IE: 12pm (lunch hour) and 5pm (after work)], BUT they shouldn't suffer because of that...so go check it out soon! TIP: They are located directly across from the entrance to Foodland. Don't get lost! You don't wanna miss it. :) read more

Pros: Good variety of old school and new school treats. Great place to get a thoughtful gift for kids or teachers etc. because you can't go wrong with a customized candy lei. Popcorn is BOMB! Cons: it's true, the staff isn't necessarily the friendliest. Another con is that recently it seems that they are ALWAYS out of bubbles. How the heck do you drink bubble tea without bubbles? That needs to be fixed more so than the workers attitudes. All in all my go to place for hurricane popcorn and a bubble tea even if they don't always have the most exuberant customer service or bubbles. read more

must get: Hawaii Li Hing Mui flavored mango and guava (I got 1 lb of each, and finished in 2 days. I want to call them and see if I can order from them and have them ship to Bay Area) must get: Shave ice read more

My dad and I drive up here every time we visit and buy so much seed we have to buy a box to ship it home! Service and workers are so friendly and the seed and snacks are so yummy. I got a li hing icee for the first time ever and I absolutely loved it!!!! (Strawberry with li hing powder AND li hung juice add on) be warned though it is not for the faint of heart li hing lover! Great place to stop by for fresh hurricane popcorn, seed and other li hing products, shave ice and sweets. Definitely worth the drive from Honolulu!!! read more

This place is basically snacks heaven. You can find almost anything and lots of gummy bears! Yum!

I must have passed by this place about 4,000 times and even though I have an incredible obsession with li hing covered fruits, I never went inside. This is due to the fact that they just seemed to have too much going on to be GOOD at making what I love so much. I usually go down the road to the crack seed store next to the Sprint Store (closer to the mall) --but was craving li hing mui while shopping at Foodland so I decided to stop by a few weeks ago. Purchased some li hing pineapple and was pleased. Today I decided to get mango (my fav. fruit to sprinkle some li hing on top of) and also strawberries. The mango is awesome! I like it both with the dry powder and the juice--but I usually like the li hing juice ones more...Rainbow crack seed changed my mind (at least temporarily, haha). This mango is probably some of the best tasting I've had in awhile :) Definitely impressed. It's good to know this place is right down the road from where I stay...every time a craving hits I can just take a quick drive down. read more

This was my favorite crack seed store growing up! Nothing like hurricane popcorn to sneak into the movies, shaved ice and icees after school, and lihing goodies! This always brings back good memories and I'm happy they're still offering the freshest, tastiest, ono snacks! read more

The products are good and I like the way they make their hurricanes. However, getting the things that I like in a convenient location comes at the price of poor customer service. One more than one occasion I've found them to be indifferent and uninterested in their customers, unless you are a personal friend / family in which case they can't do enough to help you. The result is that I visit this store only when necessary; I've found other locations to get what I want. read more

Ordered an icee float and got about a straw full of ice cream. Worst icee float ever.

Cute snack store at the Windward City Shopping Center. They have smoothies, icee's, bubble tea, popcorn, and crackseed. I ordered a tasty guava smoothie made with ice cream (they also give the option of using yogurt) for $4.19 (including tax). Bonus that they accept credit cards. read more

Even though it is a small store, there are a lot of goodies sold here that can turn your good day into a great day. They have a lot of the local favorites (dried ika, li hing mui based products, wet lemon peel, pickled plumb ect). They also have ice cream, bubble tea, shave ice, icy/icy floats, snow, and halo halo. I like the selection of goodies they have here and will continue to come back to remind me of my childhood. read more

Rainbow Crack Seed - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

This place really is crack. Its like a little Candy Store but with novelties like Disney plushes and balloons. Little mom and pop shop which isnt necessarily bad, they had lots of varieties but they ran out on items I wanted. They didn't have Li Hing Pineapple or Mangos when I went in. They did however have Li Hing Sour belts and gummy bears and watermelon slices... *Drooools So came in hoping they had these items, slightly disappointed but at least I got my sugar fix. Little small gem in this plaza, kinda hard to find but when you find it, hopefully you'll find all your items to satisfy your sweet tooth read more

Pros: Service is good. Workers are friendly. Seeds are tasty. Cons: Their Icees are watery and airy. The tapioca in their bubble drinks are nasty; they are too sweet and too soft. The flavor of their bubble drinks is like they add too much powder and the overload of flavor makes my head hurt. read more

Jen was seriously so helpful and so sweet! Huge selection, super cheap prices and they let try samples if you ask.

Perfect little crack seed store tuck away in the shopping center. Along with crack seed and candy they seem to have a lot of toys too. Saw a lot of Crazy Bird items last time I went. They do have a frequent buyer card which I always make sure I bring and get stamped. This place has shave ice, crack seed candies, bubble drinks, popcorn, icee, and snow ice (I think that's what it's called). I have never seen snow ice sold anywhere else but its pretty good and worth a try, I'm a fan. read more

They have all the candies from my childhood, balloons for every occasion, and bubble teas and smoothies to die for!!! Not to mention, hurricane popcorn that are great for movie nights read more

Great popcorn. Stale chocolate pretzels. Rude cashier. Nasty boba bubbles. Over all the customer service was terrible she was very rude.

I wish there was a negative for stars. I have yet to have a good experience at this place. The girls behind the counter are just rude and no customer service skills what's so ever. They make it obvious that they hate their job and what they do. Only reason we ever go here is as a last resort and convenience since they are so close to my home. Other then that I do not recommend them to anyone!!! read more

Products are delicious, but their workers need to change or improve. There is the set of sisters who are older than the workers, but have the same maturity level as their workers. When you walk in, you don't get greeted, but I'm not surprised. If you don't know what you want, I would recommend standing on the side & observing the menu until you find something you like. Don't bother asking the workers for suggestions. Their answer is always "I don't know". They cater to their friends or people they know. But, hard to find a decent prized crackseed shop anywhere. read more

Man I miss the days where you could find crack seed stores all over. Rainbow crack seed has my hookups! Great shave ice, seeds, cuttle fish, li hing mui EVERYTHING, arare, hurricane popcorn, ice cream. SO YUMMY! Prices are affordable too! Friendly staff will make anything you want to your liking. If you heading to Kane'ohe you gotta stop and grab some snacks! read more

I always go to drink Icee cola from this store it's always great and coldest! If you like fresh seeds and candies pick them up here. I always see people buying kakimochi furikake popcorn, sorry but it's their favorite food (not mine). Plain with butter is the best! Always go during the day cause the girls are fun to talk story with. Enjoy and be happy! read more

Their shave ice is just as good as anything from the North Shore at almost half the cost. A small is only $2.50 and a large is $3. The small is really big so it's all you really need, not a big difference in the two sizes. read more

LOOOOVE the black milk tea bubble drinks. The girls behind the counter rarely crack a smile, but hey, the bubble drink is what makes up for it! read more
