10/19/22 Finally found the right spot to find a special postcard for my dear friend, Klaus. This is a special & spectacular shop for beautiful items. Although I only went in for a postcard, I couldn't help but let my eyes wander everywhere. Jaw dropping artful pieces! Next time we'll pass by and spend more time to appreciate the displays. Now we're off to Wailua Falls!

Smaller than the store / studio in Hanapepe but essentially has the same merchandise albeit a smaller selection. Local art / crafts at reasonable prices. Whimsical and Kauai centric items. A fine place to purchase mementos for yourself and gifts for friends. Recommended.

Came in here looking for a turtle piece for our bathroom and a tile for our entry way. Scott was really helpful and I even received half off on a beautiful tile that was discontinued. Cute little shop in Kilauea that you must stop by and see.

Chatty Chad thanks for wonderful customer service! The shop is lovely and takes a couple go-rounds to take it all in. I wish I could have taken everything home, including the giant painted palm. Range in prices is nice.

You know those little ceramic tiles you see all over Hawaii? The ones that say things like, "Mahalo for removing your shoes," and "I'd rather be on Kaua'i"? This is where they come from. Seriously, there is the vastest supply ever here. If beach-house-esque ceramic is your thing, Banana Patch is for you. Like plumeria? You can get them on a teapot. Turtles your thing? How about a serving platter featuring the little guys? If beach-house-esque ceramic *isn't* your thing -- like it isn't so much mine -- you'll have to dig a little deeper to find the goods here. You can. Jewelry, home goods, Christmas ornaments, oil paintings, brass bas reliefs. Last visit we walked away with a really lovely bamboo cutting board. This time we didn't see much that struck our fancy, tho, so I guess the ever-changing inventory is hit-or-miss. Still -- one of the better places to pick up your more sophisticated souvenirs on Kaua'i.

If you want to see something really elegant and magical..... check out the bathroom. I know I sound crazy, but the tile work in there around the sink is like an expressive lovely jewel! This store opened in 1991 in Kauai and then moved its location to Hanapepe in 2003. The owner, Joanna Carolan, was so nice to come out and talk story with me. Joanna has a passion for art and is an artist who is very calming and wants visitors to be able to take something with them that is lovely, unique and expressive of Kauai culture. As a local here on Kauai I have enjoyed Art Walk on Friday evenings for many years- Banana Patch Studio is a must see on the street! This studio has diverse items for your purchase: jewelry, watercolor art, honu (sea turtle) decorations, soaps, rooster/chicken decorum and a relaxing area to listen to island music on cozy pink couches. I still buy things from this store and I live here- they have really unique items that you can't buy in your larger stores for cheap. (With the exception of Candle Company Soaps) Please check out their instrument section in the first room. My kids love the flutes, drums & shakers that not only look beautiful but make great sounds too. Next to the music area are my favorite creatures: chickens! I love how this store has dedicated a beautiful section to them. They have fantastic hand painted mugs (bought one last night), wood roosters for decoration and other country cooking items that will lighten up your home. I enjoy the layout of the store and the sheer amount of choices I have here. Yes, some may say it is expensive.... uhhhhh news flash: Hawaii is expensive...... Rent for stores are very expensive for the owners who are brave enough to offer something to the public and its fantastic tourists. When you go to shopping centers in Kauai like Coconut Market Place in Kapaa, Poipu Shopping Center and Kukui Grove Shopping Center- please view all the store fronts that have nothing in them. It is very sad that the rent in these centers are very high and can't sustain business-which means less eye candy and shops for us consumers. Hanapepe has been able to sustain their fantastic street of unique galleries and shops, in spite of the high rent. This has been one of my favorite stores on this island for at least 4 years now and I am glad I can Yelp! about it.

This place is absolutely amazing. Located in the small artists' town of Hanapepe, this little shop has been a necessary stop whenever we visit Kauai. Every year, my mom buys a new tile and hangs it up on the wall. Each tile is handmade and is so unique and beautiful. There is also a lot of other handmade items like ceramic tableware items and jewelry the latter being the section that I usually gravitate towards. I absolute adore this little shop and while the items can be a bit pricey, they are absolutely worth it as you are not going to find any of these items in the many ABC stores woven throughout the island. If you are staying on Kauai, you should definitely stop by as the island is only so big and this little town has a lot to offer.

We love this shop! We stop by every year to get something nice as a memory of our trip. Scott from the shop is so nice and was really sweet with my boys. They have beautiful pottery and other lovely gifts. Highly recommend!!
