The shop itself is charming, and the team was exceptionally polite and genuinely friendly. Their merchandise is creative and thoughtfully curated, with a nice variety of unique items that made browsing really fun. Prices felt reasonable for the quality and originality you're getting. What I loved most was the positive energy throughout the store. One of the employees shared a sweet piece of advice that stuck with me: "Believe me, my friend. when you're my age, you'll do everything you can to make your day and truly enjoy it." Moments like that make a place memorable. Definitely a feel good stop at International Market Place . I'd happily return.

So many cute items that you can purchase for yourself, friends, family, and love ones. It's a bright spot with lots of fans also purchasing the Kira x Miffy goods. Good luck practicing self-control. There's so much fun stuff to look through and buy. Even if you're not a fan, you'll still be able to find something cute to purchase.

It's cool that some of the products are specially distributed through Moni. I was hoping they'd have Snoopy too but none at the moment at least. I was so happy that my husband mentioned this place and we ended up here during our last morning in Honolulu. Definitely worth a stop if you're into kawaii, Japanese goodies and stationery, but also could be worth being aware of which characters are currently featured. A lot of the items, such as their various stickers, are reasonably and fairly priced -- more so than other similar shops. Vivid print quality too. Other items were tad too pricey for me to justify (e.g. $8 for a very tiny thin canvas drawstring bag and other small pouches in the $30+ range).

The florals with Rilakkuma?? I bought too much stuff bc it's Hawaii limited (how could I resist). My top favs are the kewpie tote and the my Rilakkuma plush!!! (And ofc a magnet, too cute to resist). I love the switch up!

The Photo Booth looks like a mini tv with a touch option on the screen to take your picture. The photo comes out as a cute colored Polaroid.

I like looking at all the snack options and cute Knick-knacks I can add to my collection.

There were signs inside the store for discounted rates if you're willing to spend $150 or more, and being a fan of the brand I was ready to do so. I only wanted to confirm which bags are included (also stated on signs inside store to ask sales associate) and this girl gave so much bad attitude when getting asked about this store promo. To the store manager of this specific location (next to Moana Surfrider) , please don't hire sales associates who don't enjoy helping your customers because I was so turned off by this that I walked out the store without purchasing due to the service I received.

It's not easily seen from the main road if you pass quickly since there isn't a large storefront sign, but you'll see a stairway from the sidewalk and you'll go upstairs to get to the shop. I feel like the prices definitely increased after that show got popular, unfortunately for me, but good for them! Still happy to support. There are so many different shelves and tables to look at here. If you don't mind digging through the chaos, you'll find some cute stuff! I always like grabbing a new long sleeve or hoodie here to bring back to California. They have so many different designs and colors, from newborn size all the way up!

The food wasn't coming from here, but my daughter just had to see what was inside. So we came in to just look. Sugarcane is this cute shop where you can find all these locally made items for a gift, for the home, fir kids, for a friend, or for visitors. They have books, puzzles, toys jewelry, totes, bags, coasters and more. I love the wooden toys for the kids. I bought a wooden cell phone, a camera, stickers and a cute cooking set. They are my kiddos favorite toys. I've gotten key chains and jewelry for gifts. We have coasters for our home too. The workers are pretty friendly and they also wrapped my gift item too. The items seem pricey, but they are locally made and are unique. I don't think you'll find any ship with the same kind of item that Sugarcane carries. Overall, this is a great place to get gifts and maybe something for yourself. Beware of bringing your children. They will make you buy everything.
