“AMAZING!!! Most informative tour. Thorough in history and process of growing Cocoa and making natural, fragrant soaps. And an amazing artist to boot. Greg's beautiful ceramic pottery is not available on the website, so you must go there and experience it yourself. Thank you so much Greg and Marty!
Mahalo nui,

“This place is amazing. I purchased my husband’s wedding ring here when we visited in person. We realized after we came back to California that we needed a slightly smaller size. I emailed their team and Craig was super responsive and helpful. We just shipped that ring back to the address he provided and as soon as he received it, he mailed us the replacement in the correct size. It is due to arrive soon, and we cannot wait! A+ customer service!”
“We were in Kona a few weeks ago on vacation and stopped in this market as we had their macadamia nuts before through a retail business on mainland. What great macadamia’s, superb ! The mother and daughter whom work there Tiffany and Shay were amazing . We stayed for at least 30 minutes talking with them about life in Hawaii and getting advice on where to explore . Super friendly and kind and great customer service . A few days later we bought macadamia’s from a farm stand on the road to Volcano National Park and they were not nearly as good as Mahina Mele . Pay them a visit !”
“Call ahead to check days/hours of operation. I just spoke to Ms Kimura over the telephone. Hours are Mon-Sat 10am-4-ish. I read a review that it is hit or miss with this store. Could be true but keep trying. Don't give up because the stuff here is authentic and you will not be disappointed. We support the shops owned by local people. This is the kind of place we want to keep around. So if they don't answer the phone or if no one is there when you get there, come back because they might be at lunch, running an errand, etc. And buy big!!! I own two different lauhala handbags, place mats, my husband bought at hat here. And we'll visit again and again.”
“The only company that picked up their phone during the holidays! Enjoyed working with Heather and the floral arrangement was beautiful in color and composition. She was able to create and send on the same day. Talk about great customer service! Thank you Heather!”
“I have been getting Painted Coconuts from them for several years, everyone always loves them as they are so unique. I will be ordering more..If u have not ordered one or two of them, give it a try... the sports ones go over awesome as this is Football season. I got my mom a Chicago Cubs one with the World Series Champions on it... she loved it and cried as it was so emotional for her.”
“This is a great local boutique. Quality clothing. The staff is wonderful. Not pushy and made me feel comfortable. Actually trying on clothes does not usually end well for me. I tried on an outfit that was totally out of my comfort zone, by suggestion. So glad I did because the jumper looks and feels great. Love this shop and will be coming back again.”
“This place was amazing and was so cool! It definitely dose NOT deserve hate, it was so pretty and the prices were great as well. This shop is perfect and I love it so much”
“This shop and the staff were awesome! The staff was very welcoming and helpful! They were very helpful in getting me the size I needed! This was a one stop shop for my families souvenir shirts! The clothing is very fairly priced and great quality. I highly recommend checking Sunset Traders out!”
“I appreciate KG&G! Ocean View would not be the same without this variety store.The proprietor is both smart and savvy. Through experience she seems to know what HOVE needs and makes sure KG&G supplies it.”
