They have samples of everything out in their gift shop, and they're doing some pretty fun stuff - we absolutely bought a couple bars (as usual, I liked the darkest and my wife liked the lightest chocolate the most, but they were all quite good.) I'd give the *tour*, which they only do a couple times a week, so we had to adjust our schedule a bit to make it to one, a 4/5. It was interesting, but you don't actually get to see any chocolate being made, a lot of it was just discussion (albeit: discussion while standing in a production cacao orchard - I'd never actually *seen cacao trees in person, they are pretty cool! Cool, but also full of spider webs.) They also cut open a fresh, ripe, not-processed-yet cacao bean at the end of the tour, and we got to try a little bit (it's delicious - sweet and fruity, nothing like chocolate. I wish we'd gotten to eat a bit more of it, honestly.) It was an interesting tour, not sure it was worth the extra planning it took to be there for it though - other than the fresh cacao fruit, you don't get anything you can't also try in the gift shop any time of day.

How have I not know about Mrs Barry's Kona cookies? Is it because I haven't frequented Kona? I've…read morehad several friends and family visit Kona, but no one told me about this place nor have they brought these cookies home for me. Were they gatekeeping this? Well I'm here to share about Mrs Barry's Kona cookies. They have so many different flavors, variety packs, single cookies or u can just get packages of the same flavor. They are located less than 10min away from the Kona Airport. It is very important that you stop here on your way back to the airport.... Or when you first land. Their cookies are flavorful.... They are also crispy... thin crispy goodness. Like no other. Way better than......the other big island cookie place lol The lady behind the counter was very sweet and welcoming. It's a small store so whatever they have there is all they have. So make sure u get your cookie fix while you're in Kona

Husband loved the Horchata, I loved the Coffee Cocoa Nibs. $10 for a big bar and $6 for a square mini bar. We also wanted to check out their bar to enjoy some chocolate cocktails. Forgot to check the name of our bartender but she did great managing everyones orders. I ordered The Turtle and my husband ordered the Kona Old Fashion (optional to have it smoked or not). The Turtle was filled with chocolate delight, dangerously hiding the alcohol. Kona Old Fashion had good tangy and smokey taste. Overall, great shop to stop by, hang out, and enjoy some delicious chocolate with alcohol or without!

We stopped at Da Poke Shack, but they were unexpectedly closed (see my profile). So we made our way to Pau Hana and I was very surprised! I came around 3:45PM, so their options were limited (which makes total sense, because of fresh fish!) and I wish I had come earlier in the day so I had a wider selection. Fish was very flavorful, and the rice was perfectly sticky. I got the Hawaiian style Ahi (I wish I had come earlier to try the salmon) and the octopus (not too rubbery, but just a bit tough), with imitation crab and edamame. Everything was very well seasoned, flavorful, and fresh. The service was very nice, the employee dishing us up was fast and talkative and wasn't judgmental when I asked if anything I had on my plate would be spicy (I don't do well with spicy food). I really recommend this place if you're in the area! I'm from AZ and I get pokè at least once a month because it's my favorite food, and fish in a land locked state will never be the same as it is on the coast!
