Even though the store was buzzing with people doing their own last-minute shopping, the staff handled the rush with grace and efficiency. They had everything we needed, and the checkout process was quick and painless--a lifesaver when you're trying to get back to family festivities. Mahalo to Takata Store for coming through for the community on a busy holiday! Your friendly service and well-stocked shelves made all the difference. Highly recommend this gem for any time you're in Kohala.

DAY 2 of Vacation - After ziplining, we wanted to walk around the town. We stumbled upon this local…read moreshop and decided to grab some snacks before driving back to Kona. Ambiance/Environment: I love the open space. There were so many products, groceries, and food. There is also limited outdoor seating. Service: I didn't catch her name, but the owner was so nice and welcoming. She gave us good recommendations from the drink menu. Everything we got: 1) Maui Vera - I bought this reef friendly sunscreen. I was told regular sunscreen will not help, so I waited until we came out here to buy sunscreen. This sunscreen helped protect me from crazy sunburns. It is very thick and dries up quickly. It does leave you looking whiter than usual lol. 2) Smoothies - My ILs ordered the Hawaiian Superman, Strawberry Bliss, Chocolate Monkey, and Super Soursop. All these smoothies were recommended by the owner based on their preferences. They absolutely enjoyed their drinks. Perfect refresher after 2 hours of ziplining. 3) Tropical Dreams Ice Cream - My BIL got an 8 oz ube ice cream. We all took a spoonful to try it. Wow .. the ube flavor was unbelievable. Sooo good!

And let me tell you, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that didn't hit. Foodland understands the assignment when it comes to beach grindz.

Now, let me take a moment to give Vicki some MAJAH love because sis was nothing but aloha! Super kind, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. She's one of those employees you wish you could encounter at every location, every single time. The kind of person who makes an already good stop that much better. Mahalo nui, Vicki!

However there was zero aloha spirit coming from this place. If someone is spending 50-70 bucks in your store at least try to manage a little friendliness. People work their whole lives to visit the place you call home, and you're lucky enough to live there. We never have experiences like this with native Hawaiian or true local businesses who embody Aloha and all the reasons we love Hawai'i so much. Yes I'm a visitor, but I definitely wouldn't shop here if I was a local either. If you're having a tough time that's okay, we all have our days, but don't bring it to work where people are financially supporting your business with their hard earned money. Or- go out of your way to be unpleasant. Instant mood killer.

Well that ain't happening here. Stopped here to grab a few basics. Shelves are almost empty and selection sparse. But the kicker was the attitude of the woman behind the counter. Surly, snappy and went out of her way to be unpleasant. We all have bad days but rolling your eyes because I ask for sauce on the side instead of on top for a poke bowl? Arguing with me because I want to buy twelve Sparkling Ice drinks? Another eye roll when we added another popsicle to our items before she was finished ringing up all our items! I should have just left everything on the counter and walked out. Instead I spent $100 and got tons of attitude. Couple days later I needed more ice. Go back here? Heck no. I drove to Foodland where the folks couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Our Hawaii visit was wonderful and we experienced the Aloha Spirit every where. Just not here.
