They have plenty of interesting items for sale. Incense, clothing, magnets, and more. They also have lots of clothes reasonably priced. Some of the items are kind of pricey. Shot glasses were kind of high at around $7 and up. If you want more bang for your buck go to Walmart. They have some $1.99. Overall, a great experience. The Gals working there were very helpful and sweet. Can't wait to return.

I went back to the store for remedy. The woman in the store basically said tough shit. No refund, no exchange, no nothing. She handed me som dessicant to try drying it out. That did not work. I wasted $15.00 and was treated really poorly. I will not be returning to the store for anything...even though they have great stuff. Really pissed off. Im local and don't deserve to be ripped off. I might as well have thrown 15.00 into the toilet.

Shopping in Hilo Town, Hawaii…read more.. I remember the name of this store... I was here decades ago when I was active with the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce). We would have meetings on the Big Island every so often. After our gatherings, we'd roam around the town! This store still has amusing gifts, practical items, and cute stuff! It has postcards, jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, baby items, children's toys, Aloha shirts, soaps, lotions, books, Hello Kitty merchandise, tote bags, greeting cards, and more! Service is very friendly! The nice lady at the cash register asked me about my Shohei Ohtani shirt... LOL! Note: this store didn't have air conditioning... shucks! However, there's free street parking all around the area!

The experience consisted of a tour of the farm grounds, the roast house, the chocolate-making process, and even hands-on sampling/feeling the natural cacao seeds. And of course, we got a lovely tasting at the end of the various chocolates they offer. They are also in a perfect location, not directly located in Hilo but not being a far drive either. They are very sustainable in their efforts to create a valued, local product, and it shows. Give them a visit and buy their delicious chocolate when you get a chance!

She gave us an amazing behind the scenes look at how the farm integrates sustainable tourism, eco-friendly farming, and local business practices. Jess was warm, super knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. Seeing how they do every single part of production on site and tasting their chocolate made the lessons from our course come alive. It was fascinating to learn how they truly utilize every single part of the cacao fruit--turning nibs into chocolate, husks into tea, imperfect beans into handcrafted soaps, and the remaining shells into compost. Thank you, Jess and the Lavaloha team, for supporting local education and delivering an unforgettable experience!

We like to come here for breakfast and eat their delicious PB&J Açaí bowl. Pairs well with their Lattes. Yummy. They have pastries and malasadas too. Pretty extensive menu. Lots of other items too, especially if you forgot something at home. Sunscreen, wine, other Etoh beverages, sodas, first aid stuff, clothes. If you need it, they probably have it. Lots of tables outside. Flowwater system here to refill your bottles. Shireen and others staff are super nice. Prices not too bad (right in the middle, not super inflated).

Enjoy your treats outside on their lanai overlooking the bocce courts, or take your treats to go. On our travel-home day, we planned ahead (since the food options at Kona Airport are limited). We ordered chicken caesar wraps to go - tell the Trading Company team that you're flying and they will remove anything with seeds so that your food passes the airport's agriculture check. Love that!

#25 for 2018 Walking…read moreinto Tanglewood is a stepping into a mystical world of wonder. First, Harry and Mouse, that's right a Mouse lives here. They are the most wonderous people you can meet with an interesting history of succesfull businesses from bakery to computer technology. Harry applies his grasp of physics and technology to the camera producing incredible art. You can see the love and feel the passion in each piece displayed. Self taught he has learned quickly his craft. I am always amazed and excited to see what he does next. When you reach the property, you walk through a gate to be greeted by Little, their not so little dog. To the right is their working studio doubling as their gallery. There are small prints to large prints. And, can go larger if you so desired. Mouse custom frames each masterpiece to perfection. It is a working studio. You may see where Mouse builds the frames. She may be putting the canvas onto the frames, stretching it. A few computers showing galleries of gorgeous pictures Harry is working on. A commercial printer to handle their work load, and large prints. It is easy to see Harry loves shooting the stars, waves and volcano. His shots of the milky way are breath taking. The volcano shooting clouds of lava and smoke are just incredible. The strength of the waves blanketed by the stars in the same frame, astounding. Please go see for yourself. Tanglewood is open every weekend. One Saturday a month, they have a potluck when all photographers are invited to join in a Saturday of sharing. Harry is willing to share not holding anything back. That makes him special when often information is protected like a secret. You can find his work on Amazon, through select stores and always in their home, Tanglewood Gallery. An interior designer is available. You can talk to Harry about that if that is a service you need. Note: Mouse is famous for creating scrap cookies out of Colorado so many years back. Many have tried to copy, imitate but her's is still #1. The story behind that is very interesting but that's best heard from her when you visit.
