Book Stores in Honolulu, HI

“I attended a class at Kīpuka with Kai Hyde making Ni'ihau Shell earrings and I am very pleased to say that I'm sooooo happy that I now own Ni'ihau shell jewelry! Kai prepares the type of kit you want to make which includes, Ni'ihau shells with holes (what a bonus, it's the hardest part to making your jewelry), needles, thread, & felt to lay your shells out on. He demonstrates how to put it together and is there the whole step of the way until you are pau! You get to walk out of the shop wearing your piece of jewelry, like a proud owner of my own hand crafted Ni'ihau shell earrings! Kai shares his 'ike loa with you and doesn't mind e noi ana while you sit and create. I will definitely take another class of his, it's well worth the kālā and all his manao!!”

“A fantastic place with knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful staff. If I have a chance to return to Honolulu, I'd come back here in a flash. Date visited: 27 January 2024”

“One of the most outstanding and beautiful bookstores I've ever seen. I've been looking around the world and this has it all. The board games, books, etc.”

“I've purchased from Logos Bookstore of Hawaii several times, as it offers many different gift ideas and a good selection of Christian greeting cards. I have also purchased evangelistic Gospel tracts, booklets, devotionals, Bible verse calendars, Scripture t-shirts, etc. The book and Bible study reference offerings could be better to include much more titles from the REFORMERS and PURITANS (the classics)--such as titles published by Reformation Heritage Books and Banner of Truth--as well as more choices of Holy Bibles in the Authorised Version/King James Version, specifically for evangelistic purposes and large-print ones for the elderly/kupuna. Thus, I gave 4-stars instead of 5-stars, as there is definitely room for improvement in this area. Personally, I'd LOVE to see offerings on-hand some Holy Bibles, New Testaments, and Scripture booklets and evangelistic Gospel tracts and greeting cards printed by Trinitarian Bible Society (Grand Rapids, MI)--including in different languages such as Spanish, French, Chinese, etc. Overall, Logos Bookstore of Hawaii is a nice and welcoming local family-friendly bookstore to stop in for a visit and browse through their many selections for Christian education and gift-giving. As far as I know, this is one of a very few local Christian bookstores on the island (if not the only one). Be sure to visit during and after holidays for their discounts/sales. You won't be disappointed. It is always a blessing to visit! I also LOVE that merchandise by local entrepreneurs are offered within the store, so there is opportunity to 'Buy Local.'”

“A real gem. Book stores are a dying breed. I actually bought stuff I didn't even need just to help these guys out. I would like more selection but I also understand the economics of running a small business in Hawaii. As of 2023 they've been in business 3 years which means they survived the covid lock downs. So they must be doing something right. They have a fairly small selection but the curation is nicely done. I give them 5 stars.”

“Finally found a small private owned bookstore on the island. I've thought it didn't exist but there it was. Tucked away in a cute neighborhood not too far from town. I love the curated collection of books that are sold. Was so in love.”

“This is my favorite store I visited on vacation. Insane collection of everything imaginable. Books, toys, vinyl, CDs, cassettes, comic books, tarot cards and manga. It's not just that the selection is large, but it's also very well curated and priced.The women behind the counter was very helpful and welcoming.It's also right across the street from another record store, and a 10 minute walk from BOOK-off.”

“Just left their pop-up at Ward today with 4 books! They'll be at Ward today and next weekend (Jan 21-22) . There's lots of selection, it's well organized, and with a smooth check out process. Prices are much more practical than Book-off! Found a couple gems of local cookbook finds that I doubt Pinterest would even have. Check them out and support your libraries (:”

“It's not just books... Located right on the curbside of Aloha Tower Marketplace is this shop that's filled with all sorts of items you wouldn't imagine to find as bookstores are basically books of course and various accessories in relating to books though the sign says Barnes & Noble which is more a student supplies shop where it's filled with all things "Sharks" all sorts of outerwear from hats, shirts, decals, mugs, blankets and more along with a bunch of items every students need at their convenience as well. Remember this is part Barnes & Noble so there's a section filled with books of all kinds and a bunch of games...jenga, scrabble and even Monopoly lol! With that being a student does have it's issues...for me there always is and I noticed a section that's all things Essential Oils with individual various scents I was excited and intrigued the variety they have and actually picked up a Pen Diffuser which is nice and portable as you can open one or all four scents (Joy, focus, Energy and Calm) now how cool is that! Staff here is just a delight and told me that it was the first pen diffuser sold lol and they do validate parking (which is free for the first hour) so you can shop guilt free which creates more calmness as I shop and find unique items that makes me find my zen. Thank you!”

“Thus far, I have had tremendous interactions with all staff members I have encountered. I was on a hunt to find the next college to help me obtain my next degree. The more education and knowledge you can obtain, the merrier. It also doesn't hurt to have that extra degree on your resume. (Well, it does hurt your bank account....) Comes in handy when it's a deciding factor between you and another candidate applying for the same position. From open house, to touring the campus myself, and completing my first semester, it has been a smooth process. This was the second college open house on my to do list and they blew me away. The person conducting the meeting really is a major factor in deciding which college you will be investing in. I seen so much passion when Business Dean Schroeder was going over the MBA program and I was convinced to apply! Since then, I have learned some lessons on my way through it all I must say. Liz has been an awesome contact who I have been in touch with as far as my questions go. And if she wasn't able to answer them, she would direct me to the right person. Sometimes I wonder why I didn't start my college journey at this University. But I also don't have any complaints of my former alumni.”

“Love this Place. From University class text books. To rare art supplies. To Friendly staff and students. Sport clothing items change frequently and per athletic season; therefore multiple visits through out the year are recommended. Air Conditioned well.ADA Entries and aisle spacing.”

“I was in the store today and saw these really cute Musubi turtle stuffed animals but I left the one I bought on the airplane. Does anyone know where I can buy them online?? Great store overall!”
