Parking- I just did the paid parking in the structure since it was closer. It was $8 for 2 hours. The komodama class was around $70 and you get to take home 2 you've made. The instructor was patient, helpful and had good instructions. The group had many follow up questions and he explained things well. They gave us a good assortment to choose from to make the kokadama. After we finished making them, we wanted cute vases and the instructor helped us find the best fitting one for our plant. The whole store is filled with adorable plants and accessories. I walked out of there thinking I'll be able to keep my plants alive but it's a serious challenge. Overall, highly recommend taking a class from Pigment. It's a fun way to have a day date where you use your hands and enjoy their beautiful outside patio.

This little variety store is filled with treasures to satisfy your Sanrio, Labubu, Sonny Angel collections, plus more and they even carry Pokémon cards. Haha Fashion keeps their stock up to date with the latest trends. I spotted Mini Labubus for $50, along with plenty of blind box goodies and clothing accessories for Labubu lovers. I got my Labubu some crocs here for $10 and it came with the cutest charms. Prices run a bit higher, but you're paying for convenience compared to ordering from the official source like PopMart, which often sells out. The staff were very nice and helpful. I'll definitely be coming back.

Hubs enjoys Lion Coffee, and we use to always grab a few bags when in Hawai'i, but haven't been in awhile, so Leilani's comes through with a stocking stuffer - or two! I also picked up some cute Hawaiian themed Christmas cards and Honolulu Cookie Co cookie bites and Punalu'u Taro Sweetbread! Took my mind back to the Big Island with the first bite! Broke da mouth! IYKYK!!! Staff is filled with aloha and, if you're lucky enough to see Auntie Leilani when you're here, take some time to talk story. She's a beautiful lady I look forward to seeing. Support this great local business and come to Leilani's Attic. Cheers! "CC"

I stumbled into a hidden gem that felt very nostalgic! My boyfriend and I were getting boba from…read morenext door and noticed this little shop that sold Hawaii items. Of course we had to check it out! It's located in between Victory MMA & Fitness and GuilTea Cravings on Clairemont Mesa Blvd in Clairemont. There's a huge parking lot with ample parking spaces around. My boyfriend and I were just browsing around the area and the first thing I noticed was the variety packs of Noms, a fun gummy bear snack with a mixture of flavors. It's apparently become very popular since we left the islands, and I've been seeing it more and more often. There were also other great snack options such as li hing snacks and crack seeds, taro chips, etc. There were also a lot of local food mixes such as Hawaiian curry, Adobo, etc. Besides food, there was a section of jewelry, clothes, flasks, etc. A huge variety of items here! We definitely don't need to go back home to get these things as now we know there's an option in San Diego, haha! The owner mentioned that if there were some things missing, we can make a request for them to try get the item. Amazing! Will be bringing my non-Hawaii friends here in the future!

Just trying to save everyone else the embarrassment and disappointment of getting a "lafufu". Sent another friend the next day and the same thing happened. They will also be writing a review to try and save people from paying $70 and getting a fake.

We got a hello kitty backpack and my daughter went everywhere. She showed everyone her backpack. "Look at my backpack". She is so proud of that thing. Go to Aloha Scent and buy something cool. At least check it out. There aren't any other island shops like this in the area.

Treating customers like this doesn't make them feel welcome. The kids and I quickly left.
