Didn't purchase any of their hot foods or poke, but seems this is literally a general store. One stop shop for almost all your needs. Shave ice section wasn't available though. read more

At first I was disappointed due to no restroom privileges were allowed, however I found a decent portable restroom which was acceptable. I was grateful we visited- the prices to me were "normal" for the souvenir supplies. Hubby found a couple of swivels and strong for his fishing expedition. Staff was real friendly-parking was a little tight, but it's to be expected. read more

Do not pass up the prepared food here. We stopped on an early morning and grabbed a loco moco and two types of masubi which were under the heat lamp. The loco moco was some of the best I've had, especially the gravy. The rice was cooked perfectly. The hot dogs were sweet and I want to go back and get a chili dog. We also grabbed some Four Sisters banana bread and a local salve for sunburns. The woman at the cashier was so sweet. This food was some of the best on Maui including restaurants that were rated 5 stars that turned out very disappointing. read more

Awesome place A must go to while on Maui Check out their hotdogs best deal on the island read more

So this is one of the few local places on the island. When I was growing up there were places like this all over the island that were small local run stores with a variety of goods from fishing gear to tee shirts. They all had hot dogs, chili, nachos, and shave ice. Now this is one of the last places around. They are not fancy but they do local style hot dogs, chili bowls, and poke bowls as well as bento lunches. Everything from here has not disappointed. I live on the other side of the island but will stop in to get hotdogs with everything. If you want some good local snacks and bentos or want to try a local style hot dog or some good poke. Stop by this place. They also carry some great souvenirs and a good variety of drinks. I like stopping by here because it is still family run and they crank out some good food for a good price. I love supporting local. Plus I have been going here since I was a kid so it brings back memories. Not many places like this left on Maui and even fewer that still do the Maui style hot dogs. So definitely support these guys so we don't lose them. Also because of the great service they provide. read more

It's been over a year since we visited Maui and I'm still dreaming about the spam musubi here. They put a twist on it - it's made with fried rice. We had stopped for the pie shop next door but I wanted something lighter and wandered into Olowalu. It was a very happy discovery. read more

Definitely a must stop. They have some amazing locally made goodies that you can't find anywhere else. Plus they make beyond delicious hot dogs (was really yummy in the chili and rice bowl) and poke. There's also cute souvenirs including Christmas ornaments year round. The owner is a wonderful lady. Come in for the snacks and stay to talk story. read more

Came by today and picked up some eats for the kids. 3 spam musubi, 1 hot dog musubi, 2 magnets. It's conveniently located next to Leoda's which was great since we can just walk right over to grab some pies too. Prices are reasonable. read more

Nestled in the monkeypod tree tunnel on Hwy 30, it is one of the most recognized shops that have been around but you always pass by. Why? The store is alone in a stretch of the highway where there is nothing and where the traffic is constantly pushing making it hard to slow down and enter. With that said... Homemade Mochi is why we come. The Musubi is decent enough to pick up for the beach. Chilled local drinks in the coolers. Various miscellaneous items you might need or think you need. It looks classic because it is classic. Looks old because it is old. The lady is much more nicer than the grumpy dudes. read more

Most known for the "red hot dogs" which are less of a Hawaii thing and more Filipino. We didn't get the hotdogs and instead came for a cold drink since the juice stand was on break when we stopped by. It's a very interesting store that's been open since 1932. They have normal convenience store items like rows of cold drinks but also odd items like fishing poles. There is also a small kitchen where they make warm foods like the hotdogs and fresh chicharrones. The spam musubi was sold out when we went in the afternoon but we did get the Bibingka which the kids loved. It's a Filipino mochi with sugar and butter and a nice seared outside. While I struggled to find Li Hing powdered sweets at other places they have a ton of different varieties here. They are "obachan's" branded and very good. read more

Saw them on Instagram and decided to stop in on the way to the airport. Definitely worth it! Hot dogs were great and the poke was amazing! They definitely give you a generous amount of fish compared to other places. They make you feel at home even being from the mainland. We will be back next time in Maui! read more

I love this place! They have the best fruit here you can get fresh. We got like 3 papayas to eat for breakfast every morning during our stay in Maui. They have all kinds of goodies from seasonings to pancake mix to candies and touristy trinkets. Its also right next to leodas pies which I hear are also a must try. The people running this general store are so friendly and treat you like family. read more

I've lived on Maui for most of my life and only just recently stopped by Olowalu General store for the first time. They're located right next to Leoda's and have parking available in the front and to the sides of the store. The store is older and upon walking in it's like stepping back in time, giving up all the mom and pop shop vibes. They have a small but mighty selection of all the general things you would need, including drinks, snacks, snorkels, sun screen, and even some souvenirs for the tourists. I was actually surprised about the variety of items! I bought some drinks to go with my lunch from Leoda's and was quickly on my way. Overall, good quick stop! read more

Support local always! I love this little mom and pop stop. It has a little bit of everything. A great halfway point on the way to Lahaina or back to Central. There's shave ice, poke bowls, ice cream, and they're known for their local hot dogs too! Must be a Maui thing. You have to get it with all the toppings! My favorite thing there is the fresh chicharron! You have to try it! It's located next to Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop as well as a little farmers market and small butterfly farm. You can't miss it! But be mindful of traffic! read more

If you are going to be traveling to West Maui (Lahaina, Ka'anapali, etc), this is a MUST stop for your sundry needs and some local delicacies. First of all, by stopping here you are supporting a local family business. With your shopping comes MUCH island love and smiles (yes you can see it through the masks, they are that bright). You can pick up your sunscreens and tanning lotions here, your water shoes. T-shirts and fun stuff for your Keiki. But what you SHOULD be buying here is their boiled peanuts and butter mochi. Both of these items are made in house and are DELICIOUS. Fair warning, they are SO good, they usually sell out by noon, so make sure you come early and often. I've been coming to Hawaii since I was a child and THIS shop reminds me of what Hawaii really is, Ohana. I love everyone who works in this shop. With everything they make, they infuse it with love and island magic. There are prepared foods here, that you can use to for a beach picnic. Stop by and tell Maryanne and Helen I sent you. They are my sisters from another Mother. #supportlocal #mauilove read more

I remember stopping here with the fams growing up and on beach trips with my friends in high school on the way to west side. So nostalgic. The gotta stop place for red local style hot dogs. Still reasonably priced, and still hits the spot. Today stopped on in the middle of work while driving from south maui to west side. Hot dog as good as I remembered. Hit the spot. read more

Everything you need in a little convenience store! Olowalu is a friendly little community store that's got everything you need, and then you can get a shave ice. A huge pile of ice with sweet flavors, with a little bit of soft serve vanilla on the bottom. And if you stay and eat outside, you might get a visit from a few local critters. Thank you Olowalu for being in the right spot at the right time! read more

Wow, $5 for a HUGE shaved ice is amazing. When you go in you don't pay at the ice cream/shave ice counter but the regular counter then take a tix to that counter and tell them what you want. You can also get ice cream and a snow cap added for a little extra. Get up tp three flavors on your ice has they have a large variety of flavors for both ice cream and shaved ice. They also have bento boxes of noodles and rice that looked delicious I really recommend coming here for shaved ice! read more

I do like this place. Just don't get the boil peanuts. The cook could of at least tasted one. The cook should of been able to tell by the gard shell that they weren't cooked Ling enough. It's like the cook boiled it an hour and said, technically I boiled it so I can call it boiled peanuts. I too my now very expensive peanuts and boiled it 3 hours at home. Still hard. Must of been old peanuts or the cook isn't local so doesn't know what he's doing. read more

Great spot for your supplies, and food. Prices are fair, and this spot really gives you the Hawaii feels. It's right next to the pie spot, so there is a decent amount of traffic here, but it's worth it, as they have a decent amount of souvenirs and food that will make your stay in Hawaii that much more pleasant. Overall, if you're at the pie shop next door, make sure to give this place a shot. read more

Stopped by enroute Lahaina beach. The juice truck was amazing. I took the guava base and for fruits selected pineapple and mango. The combination worked out well. I bought a coconut from the store but it wasn't really sweet and unless you fancy a photo I would not recommend it. I bought the shrimp chips from the shop. It was for $17 which seemed pricey to me but they were really good. read more

A small little mom & pop store located in Olowalu...... Where is this little store located? If you know where Leoda's Kitchen & Pie Shop is, the Olowalu General Store is just next door! This little store has been around the block a few times, as the store was established in 1932! What can you expect to find in this little mom & pop store? Basically you will find a little of this and that........... Need a t-shirt? Yes, that got lots of that! Hungry? Whoa, they get all kine "local kine grindz!"

Visiting Maui, and you need to bring back a few souvenirs for loved ones, or family? Man, they even had a section in the store where they sold touristy gifts so you can pick up something to take home for a loved one. Lots of free parking in the private parking lot, that is shared with Leoda's Kitchen & Pie Shop, and Olowalu Juice Stand.

They have your typical tropical fruits and a bunch of local dried goods. Great pit stop if you're looking for some candy or nuts for your trip around the island. They had some chill music playing and the cashiers were friendly. Just watch out for the prices. I snagged a small bag of chili macadamia for $13. read more

Olowalu General Store - a variety of food items - Convenience Stores Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Dropped by to grab something to tide us over while SUP boarding in Olowalu and found a mom n pop smorgasbord of goodies. From homemade food, to slippers, to chilled drinks, to tourist chit chat. We really loved the selection and vibe of this store. Roselani ice cream...our favourite Haupia too. Easy parking and you can take the back road to avoid the traffic on the corner. We will definitely be back again. We filled up on granola bars but the hot dogs were a popular choice with other customers. read more

A small general store to pick up some things you need, or maybe not. Nothing really special in my mind other than maybe location.

Friendly service, great prices, and yummy treats. We stopped here several times to load up on snacks. Make sure to try their shaved ice, furikake chex mix, butter mochi & spam masubi's. read more

Old school since 1932. This is a popular store especially since it's located next door to the ever popular pie shop. The store has some of the goodies you would expect plus shave ice and fast food. For all those squished penny collectors there's a machine right outside the store. read more

Solid general store, in the perfect spot where you might need one to be. It is small but mighty with everything from the essentials to gifts you may want to bring home. They have snack items and lunchboxes as well as what you might need to go fishing or to spend a day relaxing. Prices are reasonable and it's good to support local! The people who work here are welcoming and friendly. While you're in the area grab some fruit to your left and a little pie to your right - you'll be happy with your 3 shop stop! read more

Dog gone it man!!!! I wanted to come back for more of their hot dogs n maybe other items as well. Don't think cuz is a general store that you're not going to get good food. One of the best hot dogs I've had in a long time, it was perfect almost with the right amount of condiments they put on. They have different condiments you can add onto the dog at no charge. It's next to leoda's, so get some grinds here n then a delicious pie or a few afterwards!!!! Sorry I have no pics..... but visit this place...... don't be scared!!!! read more
