    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

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!

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.

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!

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.

This morning at 8:30am, 8 people were in line for self check out because no registers were open. It's a constant disappointment walking it that store and yes I do go elsewhere, but when you need a quick item or two it sometimes works that is if they even have that item. A lot of times they don't. And I guess management doesn't like working there either because they are not very friendly or helpful. Maybe they are as frustrated as their customers. Upper management needs to take a good hard look at this store. It's services a lot of seniors and one would think they would be better at their job helping those who need assistance. Oh well. Just be prepared to be disappointed and don't have expectations you find what you went in there to buy.
