Love Leilani's. All a local person from Hawaii needs can be found here. Most importantly though is the pure aloha here. Mahalo nui Leilani's Attic for setting up this shop and bringing home to us on the mainland. They have fresh lei's, the ono breads, poi, saimin, a wall full of crack seed. Flags, clothing, custom hydro flasks. Just come and check them out and be transported back to Hawaii. Support local business & send your Aloha & support for our ohana & friends in Maui.

Shopping in San Diego, California... This Hot New Business is really amazing! They have ALL KINDS of Polynesian merchandise! From clothing, hula instruments, flags, insulated lunch bags, and refrigerator magnets to frozen poi, fresh flower lei, hurricane popcorn, chili pepper water, taro chips, S&S Saimin, Redondo's Hawaiian Winners (also known as the red hotdogs), and Zippy's chili - I was in awe. It was almost like being in an ABC Store with reasonable prices. I even got some pickled mango and seedless li hing mui! Haha! The service was above and beyond. "Haole Girl" doesn't look Caucasian, so, I asked her (in my best pidgin accent): "What high school you went?" I really thought that she was Kama'āina, but she replied, "I went school on da Continent." I was shocked. She sounded like a local. However, she attended school on the mainland and has relatives in the Aloha State - that's how she learned Pidgin English... Whoa... Well - if you want a taste of the 50th State, come to Leilani's Attic. The aisles are clean and neat. The air conditioning is wonderful. The merchandise is legit. The ambiance is authentic Aloha Spirit!

Located off 5505 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, in San Diego, Parking is shared with the other businesses in the plaza. The store is a cool little shop selling Hawaii goods. The lady was really nice and friendly. They even had some HIC shirts and hats. They also do personalized water bottles. It's kinda like a ABC store but with all Hawaiian goods. Overall a cool store they have two locations in San Diego and one in Vegas.

All your Hawaiian local items you miss from home. The staff was so friendly and the shelves were clean. The best part is the parking!!! They have an abundance of parking! If your looking for a new bottle to hydrate forget the hydro flask 808hidr8 bottles are Hawaii's go to. The best part is they are customizable for that special someone or for any occasion. They have tons of other swag and have fresh lei's and even poi! It is a newer location but still filled with lots of goodies. Looking forward to my return Mahalo and a hui hou!!

Thank you Leilani's!! I 100% messed up my scheduled pick up date. The wonderful people working that day showed me grace, kindness and so much Aloha. Thank you for helping me surprise my husband, thank you for being so caring. And of course making the most beautiful leis. I highly recommend buying/supporting this small business. Thank you!

We knew that we wanted a ti lei and a lei po'o for our wedding ceremony so we ordered about a week out online and we're able to pickup in Clairemont the day before. They were beautiful and photographed perfectly. Our reception was at SD Zoo and my lei po'o withstood the heat and movement of the day. Nahaku was super responsive when I needed an update and Auntie working in store was friendly. Note: I requested in the online order to pay for a few extra white orchids to wear in the evening, and they graciously gave them to me at no cost. Mahalo nui and 5/5 for everything!

New Hawaiian store in Clairemont! Lots of selection of li hing mui and crack seed, custom engraved water bottles, snacks, seasonings, jams, clothes, and more. Workers are super friendly and the shop is small, clean and neat! In a pretty convenient location in Clairemont Mesa and plenty of easy parking. Will be coming back here for all my snacks!

My son graduated and I ordered two beautiful lei's. Most amazing colors I've seen. He had so many compliments!! Thanks for making his day amazing. Roll Dons *** Class of 2023

I've heard of this place for years and it was finally my turn to need it!…read more I couldn't wait to take my breast pump to New Beginnings for a "once over" and new tubes. The parking was easy (free if they validate). The store was small, but had all the essentials and the service was amazing. They offered some great advice about my pump and even looked over the other features to make sure all was in tip top shape! While I was looking around there was a new mother, in her hospital gown, being helped with finding a nursing bra. How cool is that! She just had a baby, her milk had come in, and she didn't have to change out of her hospital gown or leave the hospital to find a nursing bra. That's amazing service! Why every hospital doesn't offer this is beyond me! The sales ladies are so sweet and so helpful. This place is wonderful!

Awesome customer service here! I called over the morning of my discharge from Scripps La Jolla…read moresince SLJ had run out of rental pumps. I was a mess, recovering from a cesarean, had just spent 78 days in antepartum, had a baby in the NICU, hormonal, etc so just needed the process to go smoothly. And that it did! I called over and was assured that there were plenty of pumps in stock. When I arrived, the clerk greeted me right away. I asked about insurance, etc. and got everything squared away as far as payments. She let me vent to her a little about the day I was having and displayed so much empathy. She then carried the pump out to the car for me since I couldn't lift due to my c-section. When I called later to ask for more information for my insurance, she gave me very clear instructions on who I could call to get the information I needed. It was such a seamless process and I'm so happy to have gotten my pump in a timely manner.

Leilani's is an actual store that is open 7 days a week with great hours and a great selection of products from Hawaii! My friend loved her lei and Hawaiian treats!

Horrible business. Go elsewhere for much nicer leis where what is pictured is at least close to…read morewhat you get. They sent the wrong order first of all-then sent a dead depressing lei rather than a the big white orchid and red rose pictured. I can see from the comments above that they have done this same mistake many times. One or two times is reasonable, but to keep repeating that mistake and ruining people's orders by cutting corners and using cheap Flowers as fillers is called a Scam or fraud. Then when I complained they agreed to refund my order. They charged me $124 for dead mini shriveled up roses a shit ton of white carnations that hadn't barely bloomed yet. And brown tipped ugly sad gloomy dead supposed to be white orchids. All the flowers were mini and there was string showing already! The Lei was shoved in a bag in a box wrapped with an ice pack. I had to sadly compost it. It was that sad. After all that. Only gave me a partial refund and won't respond anymore to me. Please Don't give this place anymore chances to screw up and scam you into buying dead flowers with carnations as fillers. (the other pics of them doing the exact same thing to other customers!)

I really didn't have to read any of the other reviews to know that this was not the greatest Vons…read morebecause of customer service I would say overall that the two stars are for the location and pretty much it. The customer service is always really rough for some reason. Every worker seems to not want to be there but even more angry they are there. The manager Paul seemed too busy when I was told to wait for him. His response was I have too much stuff to do. The register and the manager don't seem like they're communicating with each other and I really believe that Vons needs to have a revamp or a re-training on customer service here because everyone just seems like they don't like being there. If you go further down Governor Drive you will find a sprouts and the workers are night and Day different in terms of helpfulness and attitude. I did get apologies from the register worker not from the manager. It seemed that again the manager was overwhelmed, but this is a repeated pattern I've seen at this particular Vons.

This Vons is only convenient due to its proximity to work…read more They are ALWAYS never fully stocked. Half the time I shop here only half the items I need are on the shelves. So annoying. Their energy drinks that are refrigerated only offer 1 or 2 flavor options. I stopped drinking Monster because they only refrigerate the green can. Their Celcius fridge is the same story. They don't even have a potato chip aisle. They keep everything on the aisle end caps. The fruits and vegetables always seem a few days past their freshness and extremely overpriced. They also seem understaffed at the registers. I have never seen more than 1 cashier working a register. Luckily the self check moves quickly. Again, I probably would never return to this store if I didn't work around the corner.
