Refreshing beverage in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. There are many vendors to patronize at the Kailua Farmers' Market every Thursday from 4pm to 7pm. Island Banana Juice caught my attention! Bananas, in general, seem kind of creamy to me. I wondered how they could be made into a juice... let's try it! I was debating between the Chocolate Banana Juice and the Strawberry Chocolate Banana Juice... because the chocolate syrup walls on the cup would look and taste better than other options. Then, I decided to get the Strawberry flavored drink so that it would taste like a banana split... yes! It was delicious and smooth! No chunks of banana at all! Yay! Note: there was no upcharge for oat milk! Thank you! Service was very friendly and helpful! I'm looking forward to returning and trying other flavors!

You've got to purchase their Christmas Egg Nog!! I grew up with egg nog back east. I always thought…read morewe had the best egg nog in the world as I've traveled the world and have tried egg nog wherever the military sent me over the years but my wife; a local girl, bought some for me to try this year from Meadow Gold and once I tried my first cup I thought I was back in New England ready to build a snowman and decorate the Christmas Tree! If you've tried egg nog before, I suggest you try this particular brand. I'm in the mood for Christmas all of a sudden! Yes, it's that good! Check out the picture and buy more than one to save on gas, cuz you're going to have to drive back to the store for more!

I bought their new Lychee Lemonade at a craft fair for $3 a cup! It wasn't even cold! It tastes…read moreterrible. I tossed it out. Do not waste your money on this new drink.

We like Island Heritage products (lots of hawaiian souvenirs like photo albums, calendars, and…read morephoto frames) and have been purchasing them for years now. We just didn't know that the same company made these products- we noticed it on our last trip. When we were walking at the Beach Walk at night (which is so much prettier, all lighted and such), we came upon this store located on the lower level, on the same side as Honolua (featuring all their products; maybe you've seen the hula girl, that's their logo), which had an unusual sale promotion- "anything with brown on it", was 50% off. So, we were looking for Vintage hawaiiana prints, during our recent trip. My husband found a calendar marked $9.99, so this was a good deal. We plan on coming here next year on our annual trip.

They sell cheap trinkets to glassware made in china with over inflated prices. If you're looking…read morefor cheap Island Heritage stuff, go to their warehouse sale in November. I think they also have one in June or July also to help liquidate their items. I had a ceramic plaque hanging by my front door what said mahalo for removing your slippahs and the metal bracket attached to the plaque came right off. The plaque wasn't scored. It was just hot glued onto the glossy finish. It's a good thing it didn't completely shatter on the ground. You want cheap souvenirs, go the Aloha swap meet. You won't find prices any lower than that. And you can work on getting a nice tan at the same time.

A great addition to Ala Moana Center! Customer service here is outstanding. The first time I went…read morein Chris showed me around the entire store pointing out one beautiful item after another. The second time Kate helped me find a present for my cousin and offered us drinks and snacks while she went in the back to gift wrap the item. The store itself is wonderfully laid out and looks like how I would decorate my dream home. Don't miss out on the fresh flower arrangements, which are absolutely stunning.

I am posting this review on behalf of Omi because everyone needs to know how amazing her Vaifala…read moreis! While I listed her business address, you can usually find her set up near the Kapolei Walmart entrance Sunday to Wednesday 10 am to 8 pm. You can also contact her on Instagram at @808tasteofpolynesia. Omi was incredibly kind and welcoming. She offered me so many different flavor samples and took the time to explain everything. The hardest part was choosing a favorite! I loved it so much that I ended up buying two large jars: mango and watermelon Vaifala. The flavors were fresh, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. In fact, I came back the very next day to try her strawberry tea, and it did not disappoint! If you're looking to support a local business and try something unique and tasty, I highly recommend stopping by and visiting Omi. Her hospitality and passion for what she does shines through in every interaction. Every drink is delicious!!! You gotta give each one a try..

Blooming with creativity…read more.. That's one thing that does excite me whenever there's a market and this one does branch out a bit differently as it does includes various plants for sale as well. Though I'm not much of a green thumb having folks who know how to care for them does make a difference and who wouldn't want to take home something that brighten up your space. Speaking of it's not just plants but various pottery from the Hawaii Potters Guild which was very nice as each table is from a different member was so impressive to see so many creative items. What I also love is that you find various treats from My Sweet World with lots of munchies and of course matcha...I was so surprised to see Walking Bean Cafe was there and got a cup of Iced Honey Yuzu Matcha a favorite refresher of mine that really helped cool me down. Aloha Drapery and Kreative Kama'aina was there to see something new they have and it's pillows with two types of filling and got one specifically difficult to find the uniqueness of this market really surprised me and learned a lot from various vendors was so cool. Keeping it local and supporting these various artists is great at this spot as it's free to the public and with that savings I put it towards my purchase. Thank you!

Refreshing beverage at the Kailua Farmers' Market in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. We were strolling around the covered part of this Farmers' Market when I saw Pacifikool. I thought: that's clever to use fresh ginger in soft drinks... let's try one! The Ginger Colada was one of the most popular drinks with Coconut Milk and Pineapple Juice as a base. The hint of Hawaiian Ginger Syrup was subtle and not overpowering. Thank you for the friendly, efficient service and creative refreshment!

She completely outdid herself and created my very favorite memory from my wedding day. It perfectly encapsulated the vibe I was going for.
