“Strawberry icee with li hing mui juice is a must have when coming here! Lady at the counter was friendly. Ambiance is cute little shop in the between the stores, located right under the stairs.”
“Beautiful, clean store with friendly, healthy staff. Patty Mae is always so kind and helpful. Store is well stocked and filled with delicious handmade treats. Samples are offered so you can taste their delicious chocolate treats. Hand select chocolate to fill decorative boxes or purchase premade ones on different sizes.”
“Unexpected snack shop gem!
They have great deals and exclusive snacks. They also have Japanese snack imports.
Its quite a small space but a large variety of snacks and drinks, but I believe you can buy large bulk snack items.
They also have protein snacks.
Staff is friendly and the place is very clean.”
“Cyndy's Bottom Line: Wide selection of local goodies *Ample parking upfront or in parking lot *Located near Zippy's Waiau *Large selection of local goodies. *Great customer service from Tiana. Very helpful with great recommendations *They provide samples to try *Great place to buy a gift Highly recommend”
“Drive by slowly as this is in an industrial area, very to miss the entrance in to the parking lot. Excellent selection of preserved seeds, mostly from Taiwan and China. Nice selection of arare and kakimochi. Most are bagged as 7 and 14ozs.”
“This was a recent addition to Windward Mall and I think it was a good one! They have a compact display which offers a wide variety of items from RC centipedes to emoji cushions to T-shirts. The thing I really like are their gummy candy leis and it's a nice gift if you want to give something a little more special than a flower lei. Their prices are reasonable and sales persons are very helpful. Come by and check them out! I did find that Kawaihao and the booth in the old Sports Authority were older locations they were at before coming to the Windward side.”
“I purchased a box at the airport for a special reminder of the trip to Hawaii and found the product to be out of date. I contacted the company and they were so very kind and promptly replaced the item. WOW is this amazing and beyond my expectations. This is a wonderful company and so so good!”
“Been coming here for decades. Crack seed shops used to be everywhere, and are now a dying breed. This is a major aspect of local culture since the 1850s. Everytime I get some mango or plum and eat it outside somewhere, it takes me back when local culture was more prevalent and long before the generic and gentrifying consumer-culture wave that the internet brought.”
“Fun spread of snack selections and very friendly staff! The shaved ice had huge portions for a great price. A "small" shaved ice was somewhere around 8 dollars with ice cream and condensed milk and was more than enough for 2 people. Definitely stop by if you have a sweet tooth or if you are just passing through! :)”
“Just came back from getting some snacks! Has a parking lot to go into, and once you head in the store it's nice and spacious. We were on the hunt for cookies. And boy we went a little crazy. We got a whole lot, the Cornflake cookies, shortbread arare cookies, chocolate chip macnut cookies, and the chocolate chip cookies with walnuts. I love the homemade taste to it. These are good brand of cookies and good omiyage for friends that moved to the mainland or just to have in the house. What I really wanted was an icee and I wasn't disappointed. A medium is 32oz and @ $2.59 you cannot go wrong. Good way to cool off. They had cola, strawberry and blue vanilla. I think they'll be seeing us again. We also walked around and there were a lot of local goodies to buy too but we were mainly there for cookies and icees. Don't worry, we will be back! Cookies are reasonably priced too. The 8oz almond cookies were $6.75. So excited to go back and get more goodies next time!”
“I've been eyeing this place for a while, so we finally tried it yesterday, forgot to take a picture. But the lady at the register was nice and answered every question I had about what crack seed was. The shaved ice is one of the best I've had. I think they could use more flavors to choose from. Will go back”
“Sams the best! Today she helped me find good cross cut Jerky and changed it out! Highly recommended and she get great personality!!!One of da bes!!best!!! ♡♡♡♡”
“Mahalo to Jonathan Lyau for all that he does for Habilitat Inc.! Your ongoing support and dedication help make events like our “Driving Change” Golf Tournament a success. We truly appreciate your aloha and generosity.

“My friends and I had a great time doing the tour and making our own macadamia chocolate back in 2018. The owners were super nice! Lots of samples to try at the end, and I ended up buying a couple of boxes to bring home as souvenirs- all of which were a hit!”
“THE place for all your seeds, cookies, arare, and local snacks. Best stop for all of your omiyage! this location has Zippys next door and Windward Mall across the street.”
“Was in the area and happened to stumble across this store. Never heard of it but the GF was "Oh it's C-Mui".So we went inside and were greeted by just a sweet old lady. She gladly helped us and gave us a few samples. We got the Li Hing Mui which is nice and soft with great flavor and the Lemon Rings which I think are the best I've had! She even gave us free bottled water.BE AWARE- She has a sign to wear masks, please honor this as she is old and her husband is also in the store and looks like she cares for him. Also there is a sign on the door stating they may be closed even when they should be open due to emergency hardship.Drop by, give them some business if you're in the area.”
“Today I was really craving popcorn and candy. They have the best hurricane popcorn! Their kakimochi is heart shaped and it is so cute. They put the perfect amount of ingredients inside and the flavor is spot on. Good portions sizes and very reasonably priced. We also picked up a bunch of pre packed sour gummies, jelly beans, and chocolates. I love that it's already packed in individual resealable bags. They have a ton of selection and almost everything you could want. Staff is very friendly and the store is very clean. They had a dragon made of balloons for Chinese new year and it was very impressive. We will be back!”
“On September 4th, at the Kahala Mall store in Honolulu, I was assisted by a very good employee. Her name is Carly O. She was very helpful and very professional. Carly was also very personable. She has excellent customer service skills. Keep up the good work!
Mahalo, Haynes.”
“Parking: Small turn around. Small cars and trucks ?
Kid-friendliness: Very helpful ?
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, large doors to go in and out.”
“A must-visit stop when visiting the island! I’ve tried the li hing powder and seasoning from a few other places and nothing is quite as delicious as the one from Seeds n Things. We stocked up on about 30 lbs and will be making another stop tomorrow before we leave! Favorites are the Classic Lemon Gushers and Juicy Li Hing Gushers, but you can’t go wrong.”
“Been coming here ever since small kid time! Love that are now customizing the icees. Our favorite is the strawberry with ice cream, mochi balls and condensed milk (it reminds me of the shave ices that they serve at bon dances except in a cup and much easier to eat). The workers do such a great job making it. They are always nice and friendly so no complaints with the service here. I hope they consider expanding their icee line like how Doe Fang was before.”
“One of the goodies in my gift basket (received as a prize from an OYE) was from this biz located on Oahu, specifically their Furikake Party Mix.
The hearty pouch is 18 ounces and comes with an easy-to-open pull-away tab, revealing a heavy duty re-sealer. For you malihini who have no idea what furikake is, it's finely grated nori (seaweed) mixed with salt, sesame seeds, MSG, and a bit of sugar. Combining that with the traditional buttery-sweet party mix flavor makes for a blend of sweet and ocean-y, probably a turn-off to most but not if you're a local! The usual suspects can be found in the bag, including rice & corn Chex, Honey Comb, Bugles, an over-abundance of pretzels and thankfully no wheat Chex. Every piece was flavorful and coated well.
TIP:
I have a feeling that this is for sale at Costco as there was an "item number" listed on the bag.
OVERALL:
Good party mix. Being a cookie lover, I can't wait to try some of their selections.”
“The vibe is like a candy store with customer service with a beautiful smile. Alot of goodies that made for all, from adults to our children
I must place to visit with goodness intentions! Aloha, Rajah...”
“Going back to my roots... Oh my gosh and thank heavens for Hawaii Candy as places like Ishiharaya has closed many of these beloved timeless locally snacks are so much harder to find. Located in the industrial area outside the airport right below the rail lines which are still in the midst of the construction not really sure of the parking situation though I found some street parking nearby you're able to see the sign from the street you just need to walk in to the back for the entrance. Who has grown up eating Waffles-o-roll and Red Coconut Balls *me!* and to still see their showroom filled with that nostalgic vibrant packaging and that classic logo we're familiar with got me in a state of confusion as I didn't know they also have many other items as well like seasonings, beef jerky, even the Chip & Cookie where I was told if you look in the back the first ingredient is chocolate chips...woah!! What I also had no idea is they have "Butter Wafers!" the very same as the rolled just unrolled lol! Along with that each wafer is stamped with a Hawaiian design which I absolutely love and they come in three flavors (Original Butter, Coconut, and Matcha) and I can see my besties in the Mainland would love these to pair with their sips. Supporting local and all made in Hawai'i I grabbed a bunch of goodies and they're able to make anything into individual party favors which is a great idea and who wouldn't want these lovelies!!! Before I got on my way, I was given a pack of Butter Wafer for the road (So thoughtful!) the showroom is quite small but is very nice vibe to showcase all of their goodies, the staff is just a delight, and you can absolutely call in your order so that there's no wait time for them to gather the items. Thank you!”
“We are visiting Oahu from B.C. Canada. My husband and I stopped at Pearlridge Center See's Candie's this afternoon to buy my most favorite candies and were helped by Sandra S. I just have to say....Sandra S, you are a very lovely lady and you totally made my morning with your gracious and sweet spirit ....Mahalo ?”
