Very scenic and beautiful, makes for instagram-worthy pictures. It was also hot! So don't forget your sunscreen, sun hats, umbrella, etc. we stopped at the concession stand to try their famous lemonade and corn bread. Both were delicious. There's also a petting zoo and a cow train for the keiki. Fun summer activity for the whole family.

They were extremely fresh and good. I like to believe that they made it from scratch since they have all the ingredients.

Whenever I visit the KCC Farmers Market, I am always reminded of the day I first moved to Hawaii 15…read moreyears ago. Even back then, this place had the same vibrancy and legacy of local Hawaii. I remember how the everyday, friendly conversations between vendors and customers felt strangely comforting amid the lively noise and bustle. We, as buyers, are grateful to receive the blessings of locally grown products sold with such care and sincerity by the vendors. It is natural that health-conscious people gather here, but I truly hope that the simple, genuine communication unique to this place will continue forever. No one would doubt that the fresh local produce of Hawaii nourishes both body and soul. Even after living here for many years, I still find myself recharging my energy at KCC when I feel tired. After all, KCC Farmers Market remains my favorite place and location. KCCファーマーズマーケットに来ると、私は必ず、ハワイに住み始めた15年前のあの日のことを思い出します。 あの頃もここには、ローカルハワイの活気とレガシーがありました。 売り手と買い手の、いつも通りの和やかな会話が、賑やかな喧騒の中で、なぜか心地よく耳に入ってきたのを覚えています。 そんなローカルの売り手が心を込めて販売する地産品の恩恵を、私たち買い手はありがたく受け取っています。 健康志向の人々が集うのももっともですが、ここでしか得られない素朴なコミュニケーションは、これからもずっと続いてほしいものです。 ローカルハワイの元気な地産品が、私たちの心と身体を元気にしてくれることに、誰も疑問を持たないでしょう。 長年ハワイに住む私でさえ、疲れた時には今でもKCCでエナジーチャージをしています。 やはり私はKCCファーマーズマーケットのロケーションが一番好きです。

Parking is always a challenge at any farmer's market so that's okay. What I enjoyed is the food options for those that were there. I didn't notice to much produce there.

I think this is my favorite Farmers market on the island. It's at night so it's not super hot,…read morethere's a lot of parking, and it's not super overwhelming with so many vendors. This Farmers Market is held every Tuesday at Kaiser High School parking lot from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. You park on the same area and walk down to the vendors. I think there two rows of vendors. I really like this market also because they have a lot of Japanese food vendors. It was a little difficult to decide what to get for dinner. I got food from three different places. I got the takoyaki. You can get the original or you can get it with cheese. We went with the original. Then we got Nabeyaki udon and tempura bowl from another vendor. And at the last vendor we got a kakuni bowl. They were all decent prices and it was still nice and hot when we brought it home since we live so close. All of the food was good. For the Nabeyaki I had to make the broth they provided but it only took a few minutes. My husband liked the kakuni bowl and I think it was only $10. I will definitely be checking this place out again. I saw a lot of dessert places that I wanted to try too. I wanted to keep circling and checking out more places but my daughter kept telling me she had to go to the bathroom. If you come, I'd recommend you come early because some vendors were running out of things and most importantly, have your kids use the bathroom before.

I ordered an orchid plant and it was delivered on time and with great care. I looked at other…read moreflorists and nurseries for a potted orchid plant in a nice ceramic pot that wasn't too expensive. Average price for one orchid plant in a ceramic pot was too expensive (over $150) for my budget. I was feeling defeated when I came across Kawamoto Orchid Nursery. The price was perfect, just right for a single orchid plant potted with green foliage, moss and a decorative butterfly in an elegant ceramic pot. The best part was the delivery fee was included in the price! I couldn't believe it, I thought I had misread the final price, most places were charging average $20 extra for delivery! My friend sent me a photo upon delivery, it was beautiful! Thank you, Kawamoto Orchid Nursery!

Best shaved ice on our trip to Hawaii! This place was recommended by a friend and it definitely did…read morenot disappoint. This small storefront is located near Koko Head Trail, so we stopped by after a pretty intense hike. There is a variety of sizes and lots of flavors to choose from. I personally got the cotton candy and lychee, and it was a perfect balance. The shaved ice was soft and flavorful without being overly sweet or sticky, and a small was the perfect size. The worker was also very nice and patient with our large group. To our surprise, we also learned that Obama had visited this place and that his favorite flavors were lime and cherry. I can confirm those flavors are also very good.

Some places become part of your family tradition whether they're perfect or not. I've been coming…read moreback to Hawaii for over thirty years and Kokonuts has somehow found its way into almost every trip. It isn't the best shave ice on the islands, that still belongs to Matsumoto's for me, but it's good enough that I keep coming back. I'd put it right up there with Waiola. The shave ice is soft, the flavors are great and sitting by the marina afterward has become part of the ritual. The celebrity wall with photos of President Obama, Ben Affleck and countless others tells you this place has been around for a reason. Unfortunately, so has the service. Every trip seems to remind me why I've hesitated to write this review. This time we visited four separate times and every visit felt strangely uncomfortable. We waited patiently with our kids for close to twenty five minutes before anyone even took our order. The employee was busy making shave ice which is understandable but there's no system explaining what comes next. Do you wait inside? Outside? Will they call your name? Is there a speaker? A screen? You're left awkwardly standing around hoping you don't lose your place. Nobody was rude to us outright. It just felt like everyone working there would rather be somewhere else. While waiting, I started noticing things I wish I hadn't. The refrigerators, vents and equipment all looked like they could use a deep cleaning. Maybe everything is perfectly sanitary behind the scenes, but perception matters when someone is preparing food right in front of you. Instead of looking forward to dessert, I found myself wondering how often everything gets cleaned. The frustrating part is that once you finally get your shave ice, it's really good. That's what makes this review difficult. I genuinely like this place. I have decades of memories here. I'll probably end up back here again on another trip to Hawaii. But great food only carries a place so far. Hospitality matters just as much, especially somewhere that's become a tradition for so many families. I really want to give Kokonuts four or even five stars. Instead, I'm leaving three because after thirty years, I'm still hoping someone behind the counter will make the experience feel as welcoming as the dessert.

We ordered the Repetti pizza and fettuccine with diavolo sauce and meatballs. We also had the Caesar salad and focaccia bread with marinara sauce. Our server was Grace. Grace was so friendly and knowledgeable and professional. In addition to the food, Grace made the dining experience exceptional. We sat outside and even though it was a very hot day, the temperature was very comfortable under the roofed area. The Pinot Grigio was excellent! Our meal was brought out in a timely manner and Grace was an attentive server. The Caesar dressing is perfection! The diavolo sauce was delicious and just-right spicy. We loved the meatballs and the fettuccine was cooked perfectly. The pizza!!!!! Wow. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and the toppings were a delicious combination of flavors. The focaccia with marinara could have been a meal for me. The bread was hot and crispy while also being soft and savory. I couldn't get enough of the marinara. We had a lot of leftovers and ate some for dinner and still have more for tomorrow. Repetti's will be a new place for us to dine and bring friends as often as possible. We were so impressed and could not have wanted any of the experience to be different. Fantastic in every way!
