This is the second of two high quality art galleries to be found in Hanalei , in my opinion. We…read morehave purchased numerous items here and came in again yesterday to browse. The sales woman was great-she responded well to my sassy humour, all the while staying fun and professional. The artwork is just beautiful with the handmade wooden boxes being my favorite. I fell in love with one made by a local Japanese artist that I may have to go back for. All in all a great place for art collectors.

I looooove this store! They sell locally made artwork, jewelry, clothing and so much more. I made…read moremultiple trips on a recent vacation...the staff is wonderful to work with!

If you are looking for beautiful art and craftsmanship as a souvenir, I'd suggest going to Havaiki…read more It's such a beautiful shop that seems like a museum. They have Hawaiian and Oceanic art that are both old and new. You can spend hours looking at each piece in detail. Many of the pieces have amazing stories behind them and the newer ones are from local Hawaiian artist and craftsman. The staff member I spoke to was kind and let me roam freely while explaining which items were made locally. Overall I think that if you want to take home a souvenir that's authentic, beautiful and with great meaning, this is a place to check out and buy from.

A total gem! Friendly and informative service with truly beautiful pieces. Very happy we stopped by.read more

I rarely go to art galleries. Not only does the price typically scare me away, but I'm just not…read moremuch into art. With that in mind, you gotta respect the artist that engages a neophyte like me. We were simply strolling around window shopping and saw the artist/gallery owner Max painting outside. He warmly greeted us and we soon engaged in some funny repartee. He did not hover over us as we walked through the gallery, which I really appreciated. We ended up buying two prints - one a landscape and one a more abstract painting. Max took the time to explain how he makes the art and also agreed to ship it to us for free. One week later, the prints arrived on our Virginia doorstep. I wish all gallery experiences were as good as this one.

This hidden gem is worth taking time to find. The artist was working when we arrived and that alone…read morewas worth it all. Max took time to talk to us about his work, approach and method. His engaging and authentic style made us feel welcome and happy. After some time, my lady and he hit it off on a big wonderful peice he had hanging. She looked at me as if to ask, "should I?" Of course, I told her, if it speaks to her heart, buy it. This small studio is one-of-a-kind. Support local art. p.s. I like art that challenges my mind. Max doesn't just do landscapes, he creates really super original works that are made with pure Aloha.

Great spot to grab coffee or matcha on the way to the Kalalau Trail! The inside has a nice vibe,…read moreprices are reasonable, and both the hot coffee and matcha were really good. You can also add tasty syrups or grab refreshing drinks to go. One thing to note - if you paid for a park shuttle, be aware that it most likely won't stop here. It's much easier to come by your own car if you can. Definetely recommend this place!

Not gonna lie -- after a long hike to the waterfalls (and a beach walk right after), this place…read morefelt like a little reward from the universe. It's basically a small art gallery + cozy coffee spot in one, and the vibe is exactly what you want when your legs are cooked and you just need something simple and warm. Lots of island-style artwork around, chill music, and that "slow Kauai afternoon" feeling. Coffee was solid. I ordered a Vanilla Chai Latte, my wife got a Green Matcha Latte, and the total came out to $13.68 -- pretty normal price for anyone who's lived in California, but honestly it felt worth it because the place has character. The best part though? The barista. Super kind, no attitude, just friendly energy like she actually enjoys being there. Small thing, but it changes the whole experience. If I had to nitpick: it's not some huge café with a crazy menu... more like a simple, small spot, so if you're expecting "full breakfast + 20 syrups + fancy pastries," this isn't that. But that's also kind of why I liked it. I'd 100% come back -- especially after anything outdoors. Coffee + art + calm vibe = perfect reset.

This was a very convenient shopping where Foodland is the anchor store…read more We stayed at the Westin Princeville resort. Short 20 minute walk if you so choose. On the second Sunday each month there's an arts & craft fair with food vendors and live music. Hubby enjoyed going into the Ace Hardware store. Two places we did takeout - Sandwich Isle and Lotus Garden Thai and Chinese. There's an outdoor food court and nearby a public library and a bank. Heads up - avoid going to Foodland during dinner hour. Everyone has the same idea. Long times. We liked the poke. But the prepared food was primarily fried food. Ample outdoor parking.

There were a few other surfboards, a wall of matted prints, and a small corner of wearables. A second room looked like it was being used as a storage room, and had curtains drawn half way. We weren't sure if we were allowed back there, and since we were never greeted by anyone, we will never know. Worth a visit but don't expect to be blown away by quality or service.

While my friends went into their favorite vintage shop, the Yellowfish Trading Company, I walked the grounds and just took in the magic of these mountains and surrounding valley. Lush, green, clouds, flowers - heaven! Unlike most shopping centers, Hanalei Center is comprised of separate little shops, many in historical buildings that have been refurbished. It's a mix of shops offering something for everyone: clothes, surfer gear, shoes, jewelry, chocolates, art, bars, and several restaurants. Most are locally owned and sell items that are locally produced. You must stop at Chocolate Hanalei, a tiny chocolatier that has the most amazing chocolates! All handmade and many include fruit from the region. My favorites are the dark chocolate covered mango and dark chocolate covered baby bananas. Delicious! We also stopped at the bar that was featured in Deliverence and had Mai Tais. A must stop. This shopping center is geared to tourists, and I was a tourist, so I totally enjoyed it! I loved walking from shop to shop, appreciating all the flowers and foliage along the way. Sampling food and drinks, buying treasures, it is so quaint and charming!
