I bought Savory Danish (Sondog bread)
SO DELICIOUS. YOU'LL find the them in their bread box at the register. I'm so glad I was brave enough to try one. Next time I'll buy more than one. They are worth sharing! Thank You Locavore. Aloha, Laura 🌺

This place used to be one of our favorite shops, but we haven't been back because one of the managers was extremely rude, the one with very short hair. We bought a bag of avocados and once they were ripped, I opened up a couple of them and they were both bad inside. They look perfectly fine from the outside but are bad inside. So we went back to return all of them. We talked to the guy first, he seemed reasonable and told us that we can exchange since there was obviously something wrong with the avocados. He went back to the back stock for a little bit while we were shopping for more produce, then the short hair manager came out with him. She went behind the counter and he came to talk to us, now he said they couldn't do the exchange because it's been a week. Ok, I had to wait for the avocado to be ripped until I cut them open, it doesn't work if I cut them the next day after I bought them. Obviously he went in to check with the manager, and she said no. So we went to the checkout and tried to talk to her, she refused to talk to us and made this poor guy to be in the middle who initially tried to help us, but he also had to listen to her. What made me mad was not they wouldn't exchange the avocados, it was the rude manager, who does she think she is?! A store manager that doesn't understand what customer service is. We left the bag of avocados with them, left the store and never come back again.

This has become one of my go to places in Hilo for buying meat. They have good prices on local ground beef. I think it was like $7/lb last time I was there. Same for local beef brisket. They also have beef bones, which you could use to make beef broth. I've also seen them selling chicken liver, but no other kinds of liver. I've also seen more exotic types of meat, like venison from Maui and some kind of exotic shrimp.
The people working there are generally friendly and knowledgeable.
Fyi, they have started charging a surcharge for credit cards, so you may want to pay with cash or debit card.

Expensive but super high quality and everything is local. We got the freshest Okinawa sweet potato (better than farmers market & KTA) and the freshest sweet Waipi'o poi here (puts many restaurants to shame). They have senior discount hours.

Locavore has one of the best assortment of products if you're looking for locally made items and locally sourced produce and meats.
They have a great selection of unique and seasonal items and if you're looking to try new things, they almost always have something tasty and interesting. You can get ahi jerky here, vanilla beans, Mac nuts, hot sauces and delicious locally made ice creams. They also have a maker section with cards, jewelry, and beauty products.
The staff is super friendly and always so helpful and I have never had a bad experience here.

Old store had wayyyy better vibes. Fluorescent lights are awful feeling; Feels sorta like a sterile hospital now with music. I feel like you gotta grow your own food now if you want calm mana in your food. However very nice staff! Friendly and carry strong Aloha energy. But wish we could go back to calmer, wood-floor and less artificial light vibes. Please. Tranquilo . Maybe I’ll open my own calm restaurant. Everything is too amped .
