Arrived around 7:50 am on Sunday and had no issues parking ($2 well worth it). The variety of…read moreMaku'u Farmers market is unmatched- gorgeous fruit stands, lots of prepared food stands. The papaya salad was so fresh and at ($9) for a whole quart so affordable and easy to share with friends. The papaya stand was my favorite one as she makes the salad fresh in front of you. The purple tapioca potato pudding was so dense and interesting, really rich and lovely to try. I was also blown away by the macadamia nut croissant ($6), the croissant itself was fine, flaky and well baked, but the macadamia nut butter frangipane filling for the croissant stole the show. It was so decadent and sweet I savored every bite of the croissant! The marinated goat cheeses from the goat cheese stand were the most delicious goat cheese I've had in my life. Super creamy, luscious, silky and with interesting flavors. I grabbed two spicy goat cheeses I was so obsessed. There is so much to see eat and try! Happy I got to experience the Maku'u Farmers Market

We were very impressed with the Poke and hot food offerings, all of it looked so good but my wife settled on the fish bento box. She said it was the best fish she's had in our entire trip and her only regret was she didn't get two! I was a fan of the cool wall mural as well, 10/10 would recommend.

The beer menu changes so this time no stout beers, the darkest was modelo negro, several local breweries. And one sour. But you can take draft beer home. Poke selection is nice at the deli section, the hot foods and sushi is very tasty. The baked good are definitely worth it. Ube cake!!! The salt and vinegar chicharon for $10 is amazing. Fried chicken skins seems to still have feathers attached. Great customer service.
