Still looking for our sign that says for our guests to leaves shoes at the door...not here either. Way back when, this used to be owned by 2 sisters, their father, Ricky (according to Hubby's memory). I do remember those two sisters though. This was also the time when Jojo's shave ice was a small rinky dink operation at the side street by this store. Now it's a Red Dirt shirt shop. Each shirt is dyed by Kaua'i's signature red dirt, making each shirt unique in hue. Each shirt is $30. The dude at the register is not looking too impressed by the influx of shoppers. Most places I've visited ensured each customer is greeted & welcomed, not here. I still have the Hawaiian dresses I purchased here many years ago, which cost $15. Now the dresses at the front are $25 and are of poor quality. Those are on sale. Other Knick knacks are for sale, usual souvenir items, chopsticks, mugs, magnets, bowls, key chains etc. It's worth a look, but that's about it.

    My grandma's family is from west Kaua'i and we visit each summer so I'm familiar with Hanapēpē, but…read moreI recently visited JJ Ohana for the first time on a whim. We got there ~30 minutes before closing and I mostly wanted to check out their Ni'ihau shell lei, as they remind me of my grandma. They have a variety of lei, bracelets, and earrings and also offer repair services. I thought this was going to be a place run by non-locals like some of the other souvenir shops tend to be but was pleasantly surprised that the owners have deep roots in west Kaua'i too. We ended up talking story for a long time! Very friendly folks. They are one of the few places that sell certified Ni'ihau shell jewelry and provide you with a certificate so that you know your purchase is legitimate. Ni'ihau shell jewelry is the only jewelry specifically protected by the Legislature of the State of Hawai'i (H.B. No. 2569 passed in 2004), though unfortunately, many sellers still try to pass off any kine shell jewelry as Ni'ihau. To someone unfamiliar, the pieces may seem overpriced but the process to gather/clean the shells (which can only be found on Ni'ihau!) and make the jewelry are painstakingly meticulous. The prices are related not just to the number of shells involved but the qualities of the individual shells (colors, shapes, shine, etc.) It's important to support these talented, hardworking artisans and help ensure that this practice continues to be passed down. The shop also sells other types of jewelry and items (ex: wood carvings) that you wouldn't typically find at most other souvenir shops, in addition to common things like postcards and magnets, so I would still recommend stopping by if you've already been to a souvenir shop in Līhu'e or Kapa'a for example. They also sometimes attend craft fairs in other places to specifically sell Ni'ihau shell jewelry (ex: Made in Hawai'i Fest on O'ahu) so keep an eye out for them, even if you're not on Kaua'i!

    (Visited 04/24/26 FR @ 5:00pm and 04/25/26 SA @ 1:00pm): This old town was cool like a koala!…read more Old Kōloa Town was an original plantation-era shopping village in the heart of historic Kōloa Town, which I came upon while I explored the area, the shops, and specifically Mucho Aloha Brewhouse. Kōloa Town was the home of Hawai'i's first successful sugar mill, so this quaint outdoor shopping emporium catered to this important time in history to try and meld the two times and worlds together. Otherwise a sleepy town, Old Kōloa Town attracted visitors and tourists for its smattering of businesses that ranged from art galleries, local souvenirs, restaurants, and more. Did this old town hold enough coolness to warrant future returns!? PURCHASE(S) Mucho Aloha Brewhouse ($98.00): My mandatory visit to a nearby brewery. Mango's ($16.00): Some dessert onsite and also something for later. Kaua'i Island Brewing Co. ($87.00): My first experience while in town, it was so nice I went twice! EXPERIENCE A slow-paced town where my legs casually led me along the main road and pathways as I stepped into one storefront after another https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=144&select=WqrC5FX_CFg_bHOJm2Yn5Q to see what was inside possibly for that must-have gift or something to be wowed by. I gave the respect each business deserved, admired and held their wares in some cases, curiously people-watched, and eventually was a patron at one specific business within the Old Kōloa Town shopping complex as well as two other nearby businesses in town. Iconic roosters https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=144&select=G1mYSbhamHS-3nlBBlMmzw roamed everywhere (please don't feed them), and the gentle wind blew against me as I stood waiting for the bus to take me back to my hotel. SERVICE Generally speaking, all of the employees I came in contact with were friendly and helpful. The only business I actually spent money and time at was Mucho Aloha Brewhouse, and the service was efficient and straightforward. PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I took the bus, so this wasn't an issue for me. Otherwise, there appeared to be some onsite parking with spots along the main drag of Koloa Rd. and other side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A cluster of businesses divided into buildings paired with other non-associated stores and food trucks in town, you had various options that helped separate you from your money, from art, clothing, restaurants, trinkets, and more. Each shop had its distinct feel, but the overriding theme was the Hawaiian aloha spirit. Each storefront had plenty of natural lighting while various electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. TVs and background music (if applicable) varied by merchant. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=144&select=QQmaC7rAXbteMyjTfkSJ3g ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Old Kōloa Town - both the shopping complex and the actual town - was a lot of fun and I would definitely visit it if I were in the area. There were still many places to spend my money, the vibe was totally chill, and I could possibly spend an entire day just putzing around. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $201.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, at least the stores I shopped at accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    For anyone staying in the Poipu area, visiting Old Koloa Town is a must!…read more Old Koloa Town is filled with: - Small boutique stores ~ perfect for souvenir shopping, especially if you're looking for something locally made - Great eateries ~ A lot of good food options, ranging from breakfast to desert - Small grocery stores ~ a few options you could shop from if you need food - Coffee shops ~ Amazing shops for good coffee and food - Food Trucks ~ scattered around the edges, you can find tasty food trucks around. Overall, this place has a bit of something and well worth the time to visit!
