Sorry I didn't pay much attention but im guessing a coffee shop is also located there because people were just sitting around. Anyhow it was our first time visiting this Aloha Exchange location and it was quite nice. It's a great spot to stop by if you're coming back from visiting the Kilauea lighthouse, pick up some nice clothing items for friends or relatives (local brand so its even more special) as gifts. Pricing is very competitive with our surf clothing shops but the quality of their shirts and shorts are much better and much softer than others. I'm not a booshee type person but other shops just can't compare to the quality of Aloha Exchange. The employees are all friendly and helpful and for some odd reason, the employee are all good looking lol (in both locations) model type. They must be Kauai made as well. Overall this Aloha Exchange location was very nice. It seems they have slightly different items from their Kalaeho location so it's worth the visit.

Great store! Always visit when we're on the island. We also grab coffee and the shop nearbyread more

The hand painted sarongs line one wall but the bed has Balinese batik silk sarongs in short and long styles that are incredible. I bought three and a sterling silver clasp. I loved all of them passionately so it was hard to choose. Silk scarves never wear out and neither will these. I bought several others as gifts to mail to relatives and friends. The shirts, blouses, bedding and gifts are definitely upscale. The shop is a regular trek for designers. While reasonable the designs are often one of a kind, so don't expect ABC price points. We live in California with a pool so buying quality makes a huge difference since we actually wear Hawaiian clothing. They are building a web site so online shopping is coming.

And Coconut Style & Tugu has to be one of the coolest places in Kong Lung. We happened upon Coconut Style one afternoon while shopping Kong Lung. As soon as I spied the racks and stacks of hand-painted sarongs, I was in the door. I was tired of wearing lacrosse shorts and tank tops at the beach! I wanted something glamorous and beautiful to cover up my suit! Coconut Style to the rescue. Amid scads of hand-dyed and hand-painted shirts, as well as scads of hand-dyed and hand-painted sarongs, alongside papasan chairs and futons, I found exactly what my beach wardrobe had been crying out for: a long, flowy, white sarong, with crimson lotus flowers and vibrant green leaves painted on it. It spoke to me from across the store, and I knew it was mine as soon as I pulled it off its hanger. I absolutely love it: I wear it to the pool, to the beach, even out and about over my bathing suit when I'm in one of those anything-goes resort places. It's still vivid and beautiful, three years after I bought it. Also, it's signed and dated, like a real work of art. And I consider it one. I am completely enchanted by Coconut Style -- each piece is a one-of-a-kind and, for real works of art, the prices are incredibly affordable. The sales staff is low-key and low-pressure, and knowledgeable about the pieces. We bought several more as gifts, and each was very well-received. Can't wait to return this winter and build on my sarong collection!

I do not discriminate: angel, chiffon, chocolate, fruit, nut, meat, you name it, if it's cake, I'll try it. After hubby and I checked out the Lighthouse in Kilauea, we were attracted to the Kong Lung Market shopping center because we saw the sign "Cake" and like moths to a flame, we had to stop to have a slice. We were bamboozled! There was no cake! No cookies! No coffee! No madelines! Not a pink box to be found! BUT it does appear to be a rather nice, upscale gift shop with nice people. Cake, you broke my icing-filled heart.

The Beach Umbrella was a nice Tommy Bahama beach umbrella but super old and flipped out in the winds at Salt Pond Beach.

I didn't notice the quality of the boards until we were using them and seeing the rolls royce of nice boogie boards flying by us when we were trying to catch waves and going no where.

On this trip to Hanalei, I had to see what was new because it had been at least 7 years since I had been on island. My only complaint about the clothing line itself is that their spaghetti strap dresses do not contain a shelf bra, so if you are on the bigger chest side of the spectrum, this may be difficult unless you have a really good strapless bra. From the moment I walked in, I was met with some high-pressure sales which was a major turn off. I have tried on their dresses before, but they are just not flattering on my body type. I am not fond of strapless bras because they tend to smash large breasts, and are too hot to wear, especially in the humidity of Kauai. Their line is stunning, and they have beautiful shirts for men as well. The dresses come with pockets which is a plus, but their items are extremely pricey, at $239+ per dress. Once again, I left empty handed due to the high-pressure sales, high prices, and lack of shelf bra incorporated into their dresses. I therefore I opted to wear a beautiful and colorful spaghetti strap dress with pockets and a shelf bra from Marshalls for $29.99 and still looked stunning. There is a location in Kapa'a as well. Beautiful clothing and 100% worth looking at.
