The market in the video…read morelooked really pretty and huge and their videos looked stunning with breathtaking views and food options. They are located in a residential area that's gated in the back of waimanalo. You might pass by some loose dogs in the area so just drive a little slower when you're there. There are some signs and people to direct you where to go and park. When we got there the market itself had no more than 10 vendors which was a mixture of food retails and local crafts. My friend got the tacos - one quesadilla was about $12 and it was really small but it was apparently tasty. There was a lot of talk of the fried chicken which comes out at about 10am. I was honestly done in 10 minutes or less and was debating on waiting for it or not. The chicken was $15 and included a drink. Deboned and super crispy. However it was kind of dry since it was boneless chicken. They also have free grocery items (bread, milk, eggs) depending on what they have that day that they give out which I assume it's probably beneficial for the surrounding community but given to anyone that attends. They are dog friendly and open once a month. I think it's worth stopping by if you happen to be in the area only.

Stolen from - https://www.frankiesnurseryllc.com/ Da wahine heard about Frankie's from one of her friends and was adamant about visiting the farm. So off the farm we went... Drive slow, not need to ruin your car, the road is a bit rough when you start going deep into the nursery. Frankie's is on the Windward side, but basically in the mountains. You really need to know where you are going, it's most definitely off the beaten path. Cell reception starts to get much weaker... almost non existent. There are a healthy variety of plants for you to purchase, Frankie's is after all a nursery. But the main focus of this trip was to try the exotic fruits. They sell a variety of exotic fruits from around the world. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and will gladly tell you about the fruits. They do have cut fruit platters for you to try, just make sure you bring a cooler bag, it's a journey onto itself to get here. There are few picnic tables in the back for you to enjoy fresh fruits, along with a hand washing station and a restroom. #ExoticFruits: ~ BLACK SAPOTE topped off with Whipped Cream - 5/5 Amazing. A MUST TRY! I never had anything like this. Nature's Chocolate Pudding!! ~ Exotic Fruit platter - 4.5/5 The platter changes on a regular basis... depending on availability and seasons. I never heard of some of these fruits. The best way to try a little of everything. Some of the fruits were delish, some very strange. I'd love to return and try some of the other fruits.

I've been to this Waimanalo Town Center café twice ...always been curious when I pass this way…read more Hawaiian Island Cafe has a fairly large menu for a small local establishment. Apparently, they've been in business for 12 years or so...not familiar with Waimanalo in any way. They have a decent looking acai bowl menu so I tried one on both occasions. The acai bowl can be a bit hackneyed but the menu caught my eye. They offer 16 and 24 ounce options. Makapu'u Bowl and Mana Bowl both have an acai sorbet base. The former features Okinawan sweet potato and haupia; the latter, coconut chia parfait and blueberries. They both had bananas and hemp granola...a standout. Both really were fantastic. I had a Caramel Macchiato by accident. I ordered a macchiato - which by their menu description was a traditional macchiato. But I went with it and the Caramel Macchiato ( by Starbucks definition) was actually quite good. Also, had a special drink menu item...near the POS...Iced Brown Sugar Latte. This was quite sweet but refreshing. They serve standard breakfast fare - waffles and pancakes; also standard local plate lunches. They operate from 830a to 400p - closed on Sunday and Monday. Tour buses roll up and it can get tourist heavy...I had to stand in queue at the entrance on my initial visit. I see locals and tourists visit. The small dining area has art, vintage items...clothing...standard merch...a mashup of items for sale and display.

We tried a few different things and honestly everything was great. The owner and her father were also incredibly warm and kind.
