Vendors are nice. Lots of clothes and gift items. Service is good, ambiance is good, it's an outdoor farmers market located in downtown area.

KTA Express, you're a lifesaver!…read more I came to the KTA Express store twice in recent weeks, and this store/supermarket totally saved me from having to drive back in town (Kailua-Kona) to buy something I sorely needed. I was working at a local bank next door doing some lock work when I realized I needed a few 9-volt batteries to fix something. Being that I was traveling, and did not have access to all my normal gear, I asked the bank people where was the nearest store? Originally I was worried that I might have to drive all the way back to Kailua-Kona to get what I needed, but luckily KTA had a store in Kealakekua. Walked over to the KTA store, as it was just a hop, skip, & jump away from the local bank (where I was working). Got what I needed, and time & resources were saved that day! Last week Thursday I found myself back in Kealakekua working at a credit union this time. No, I didn't need anything in particular for the credit union this time, but after finishing the job at the credit union, the KTA store was very convenient for me to get some drinks & some grub. Apparently the KTA Express has a vendor - L&L Drive-In that does pre-made - ready to eat bentos. Some of the items looked pretty good, so I decided to give it a shot & picked up a mini BBQ Chicken & Noodle Bento. The mini bento was pretty tasty, and best part of it all is that I didn't have to go far to get my lunch grub. KTA Express in Kealakekua, you're a lifesaver! Lol!

DAY 5 of Vacation - This local market was located down the street from a restaurant we just dined…read moreat. We needed more hygiene products and travel items. Parking: They have a small parking lot. Very easy to find. Free parking. This was a large market. It had everything a grocery store provided, but products were a bit more expensive than usual. I walked around and noticed there were fresh fruits in their grocery section. They also had fun snacks in the freezer section. We found everything we needed to restock for the rest of our trip.

I first discovered them at the snack bar on a golf course and liked them so much that I bought five more bags to take home as souvenirs. Although I didn't get a chance to visit the Kona Chip Factory store, I found their chips at several shops and restaurants around town, making them easy to pick up during my trip. Highly recommend giving them a try!

This place is right next to Manago Hotel Restaurant. So we stumbled across this iconic place!…read more Surprisingly, the store inside is quite large with lots of snacks and merchandise! They use Idaho potatoes as we saw boxes stacked up! It would have been nice to have Samples as the kitchen was adjacent!

I phoned in a special order for a Yellow-fin Ahi block from the fish cutter himself. He reassured…read moreme that he would have it ready for me to pickup later in the day and that it would be readily retrievable by any of the available staff. He emphatically declared that it was not unusual for him to take an order over the phone. I should have realized that it was probably not going to happen when I had to give him my name before ending the call. In retrospect, I should have called him later in the day to see if it was done but it was the first time dealing with him so I was giving him the benefit of my doubts. Guess what? After making a special trip to the store, there was no order to be found anywhere. That was my protein for the next three days and what they had in the counter was not that appetizing and were much larger cuts of fish cuts and no guarantees that they were, in fact, yellow-fin tuna. He guaranteed that he was going to cut a specific weight for me of yellow-fin tuna caught fresh the previous day. I spent at least ten minutes on the phone with him having a very friendly conversation that sounded genuine. The staff offered no apologies or compensation of any sort for my ordeal almost insinuating that I was fabricating the whole situation.
