They sell a variety of Slow Island Provisions products like the coffee syrup, syrups for cold drinks and toppings, curry paste, elixirs, & salt seasoning. The friendly master chef happened to be there and offered taste samples. The shop is tucked in the back right corner on the first floor of the mall

I walked into this small shop to find a very friendly atmosphere with the clerk explaining how the shop started its journey. At first I was not interested in buying anything there, until I saw the hot sauce. Thankfully the clerk/cashier offered a free sample of the hot sauce while explaining how it was made and who the chef was. I was impressed with the flavor and texture of this amazing Hawaiian sauce! The soy sauce tasted incredible as well! The twist this chef puts on regular every day sauces is incredible. It's delicious. Imagine tasting a hot sauce without a chip or cracker, just the sauce, and enjoying every bite. You can't do that with regular hot sauce! The store itself is more like a small town shop, clean and neat, fully stocked and decorated to match their product line. I left the store without buying. Three days later I went back and purchased 3 bottles of hot sauce for the flight home! I've used it on every dish I've made this week! It's delicious!

Maybe 15 people max before it gets too crowded. They had some odd hours. They were closed on 10/6 without any notice but a sign on the door. We wanted to come back but couldn't reach anyone on the phone on 10/7 to make sure the drive there wasn't wasted. Thankfully the Gaylord residence was able to ask someone working there and they mentioned being open till 3:30, opposite of their voicemail which said 5 pm. Wis their hours were a bit more consistent. The shop has caramel which come in 6 different flavors and we got to sample some. They also have chocolate covered caramel, pretzels, pineapple, apples, and bark. If food isn't your thing, they have apparel like shorts, aprons, towels, mugs, cards, cups, coloring books, and hats. There is a small window you can see where they make the caramel. The macchiato caramel was soft and coffee flavored. The perfect mix of sweet and salty. The Oreo caramel apple was good as well. The caramel was soft and very thin around the apple so it felt more like eating an apple versus something covered in sticky caramel. Make sure to check the bottom of the bag if you plan to share these. Some batches had only a month and nothing past 2 months. If you are heading over to the Gaylord property and want to visit the sweet shop, make sure to call ahead.

Like most popular poke shops, it's best to know what you want before you get to the counter, or you might feel a little rushed. The line can get long, but it moves quickly. There are plenty of poke options to choose from, and the Kalua pork is another must-try. Parking can be a bit tricky, so be prepared to circle or wait for a spot. There are covered outdoor tables where you can enjoy your meal. The staff is friendly, and it's a good idea to bring cash.
