The old Crack Seed store in Kaimukii is a favorite of many locals. They still sell preserved fruits…read morefrom jars, the way it was sold when I was a Keiki (child). When I land on the island, this is one of the first places I regularly visit to pick up crack seed. Crack Seeds are snacks found in Hawaii. It originated in China. It is preserved and dried fruits that are flavored with salt, sugar and licorice. It's a mouthwatering island favorite. The store is very small, so I recommend checking the list of offerings outside of the store. A list with photos are on the window in front of the store. Write the name and number of the item and when you go into the store it will help speed your purchase.The store can get quite crowded when people are unsure of what they want, so knowing in advance helps the flow of customers. My favorites are Spicy Mangos and Li Hing Cherries.

The 3D gummies are my favorite pick; they've got that ideal chewy-but-soft texture that hits just right. The hurricane popcorn is solid too! The butter flavor and furikake combo are tasty, though I wish the mochi crunch had a bit more crunch. Also, the kernels they use here a pretty small. Still, it's a snack-worthy spot when you're craving those classic local flavors. I still prefer the popcorn at Iniki more because of the size, kernels and flavor.

Yaaaas, we love us an IT'SUGAR! I've been to the one in Las Vegas and in Glendale (Arizona) and now I can add Honolulu to the list. I'll be honest and say I had no interest coming in at first but I saw they had a Sour Patch Kid sign outside and I walked in under the pretense that they were having a themed section for one of my favorite candies. They did not. Womp womp. Nonetheless, it was fun looking at all their fun offerings.

The store is very cute, with a mish mash of items like jewelry, aromatherapy, clothing, ecologically friendly cloths, even a candy area. Welcomed by Brandy, she made sure we knew about the deals and how it worked, answered all our questions and was very sweet and personable. We were there on a Saturday so the place was somewhat busy but the line at cashier moved quickly. We make it a point to purchase at least one item from these small local boutiques so we bought the car aroma bottles which were on sale and only $5 when we bring back to fill up. Brandy showed us how to uncap, turn upside down then cap again, comes with a cute tie to hang in your car. Lots of fragrances to sample!
