My parents…read morehave gone here before with a guy running the stand with whom was super kind and fully opened a great coconut for them. From the beginning of our interaction, my dad just asked to make sure if they had coconuts as a joke and she was not pleased. The lady here also decided to choose like the worst coconut for us as if it was on purpose. Not sure how you run a coconut stand and can't tell what coconut is good??Ours was so hard and not enjoyable. She also didn't even fully open it and it's not like there was anyone else waiting -- it was just us and our family. I'd recommend to just keep driving on the highway and get your coconut fix elsewhere. The service here just wasn't great.

There are lots of chickens, roosters and geese on the property and they aren't aggressive. It was fun to feed them while we were there.

Home to açaí bowls, smoothies, and shave ice this "blink and you'll miss it"stand sits right next to a convenient store and tattoo parlor. So there really isn't any dining or sitting area as much as its takeaway. What makes Coconut Joes stand out from a shave ice aspect is the size of the shave ice bowl which was huge. I also saw customers order a smoothie a fresh Hawaiian Fruit plate and I mean FRESH! The down sides were in the ice cream that felt carton bought and was mostly melted when I got to it. A bit pricey at $12 for a large but you DO get a lot. Lastly the lady working it seemed upset to be working and maybe she was on New Years Eve? She also worked at a snails pace. I recognize and understand Island Time but this seemed like an intentional strike. At the End of the Day if you're touring the north shore or need a shave ice fix this place does the trick and is worth the stop. It was excellent shave ice but didn't separate itself from others either.

My Dad and I enjoy our little adventures every time I come home to visit. When I suggested a drive…read moreto Kualoa, my Dad was excited because we hadn't gone to that part of the island in many years. The drive really was very easy and picturesque. Going to the country is really relaxing and the drive reminded me of how beautiful Oahu is and how lucky I am to be from such a wonderful place. Kualoa Ranch has done a great job of marketing itself and expanding to include a market, Kualoa Grown, featuring locally grown produce, products. And meats. The market opens at 10a, 7 days a week. While it's not huge per se, I think it's a good enough size and has a decent variety featuring locally produced items. I ended up buying local chocolate, ulu chips, macadamia poi cookies, miso sausages, beautiful choi sum greens, star fruit, li hing dried apple bananas, kulolo (my favorite), cold coffee drinks, and Kualoa ranch branded merchandise. Admittedly I went a little overboard shopping but I am happy to support local. Prices are a bit steep but that seems to be the norm everywhere nowadays. The ladies working in the market were so sweet and helpful. The aloha was alive and well here! Parking is plentiful but it was full of cars. We did circle around a few times but found a spot. My Dad said this adventure to Kualoa Ranch was so fun and did not disappoint. We will be back!

It's to your left when you drive into Kualoa Ranch. Open from 10am to 5pm daily. As the name says, the products are either from the ranch itself or locally produced. It includes raw beef and pork, shrimp, fish, and fruits and vegetables. Prices are definitely reasonable for buying local. Compared to Whole Foods and Foodland, I'd rather buy local. I got pork belly, ground pork, and Portuguese sausage. So good! Next time I want to try its beef, which they don't have often I was told. Also, grabbed some taro, which was very good! Cashier was super nice. There were a lot of local baked goods at the front too. Wished I didn't live so far. I'd come in for groceries every week!

Ending 2021 with a review of this AWESOME company! I can't say enough about the great service Laie…read moreVanilla Company (LVC) gave me. I ordered vanilla beans and a vanilla kit at the end of November. A day later I wanted to order a few more kits, so contacted LVC and owner, Saili, let me know that I could pay for them and they would include them in the original order. I received a notification that my original order was mailed out (the first order was the only one noted). I'm not sure why, but the postal person did not deliver them (it was storming on delivery day, unsure if he felt it was too wet to leave for me). I received a notification that it was returned to the post office and I immediately rescheduled delivery. It was labeled as such on the tracking that it was supposed to be redelivered. The redelivery date came and went. Since I was using these for Christmas gifts, I reached out to LVC just to make sure both of my orders were included in the same box since the tracking info only listed the first order products. I thought that maybe if not everything was in there, I could have LVC mail the second order in an effort to get some gifts on time. Saili let me know everything was in the box. Saili also tried to call the post office but they did not answer (thank you Saili for trying!). Just before Christmas I got an email that my delivery was received. I was so excited thinking my box was dropped off. To my surprise, the box was delivered back to LVC! I contacted Saili and asked what my options were. Unfortunately the holidays are so busy I could not make it out to Laie to pick up and that's when the most unexpected thing happened. Saili offered to drop it off at my house. Aloha spirit alive and well! Thank you again Laie Vanilla and Saili! I see other reviews noting a vanilla tour - would love to do this one day. Can't wait to get my vanilla beans marinating!
