This store is wonderful. It is small but the selection of merchandise is wonderful. The lovely staff of young women made everyone that was in the store comfortable and happy to be there. My daughter loves this store. She lives in Salt Lake City and always visits this store when she is home. This was my first visit and I can see why my daughter loves this store. I will be coming back!!!

I love Kealopiko and have been a customer ever since I purchased a puka square from their booth at 'Aha Wahine years ago. Went in yesterday to exchange a shirt I had purchased online: their sizing changed for one of their newest 'ahukai and became much smaller! Although they noted that on their website the sizing was smaller for me it was off by 2 sizes! However, this review is solely based on my experience at their new location. It was the first time I went in to their Kapahulu store and i was shocked at how different the customer service was from their Kaka'ako store, where the salespeople were extremely nice and wonderful. The two girls who were there yesterday acted very annoyed when I came in to do the exchange. It was around 520p and they close at 6p, so I wasn't making them stay open just for me or anything. They didn't talk to me directly almost the whole time...They talked to each other! Their whole 'ano was very bored and put-upon! It was so bad the other person I came in with commented on how rude it was after we left. He halekū'ai Hawai'i kēia? Based on this experience, I'll probably stick to online orders and exchanges when I purchase from Kealopiko.

The reason I'm leaving this review is because of Customer service, not welcoming at all, demanding that we wear face mask which they provided at door and sanitizing of hands, even though there where no other customers in store. No hello or greeting at front door and the girls were a little snobby! For me how you make someone feel while entering a store is everything, if they feel like they shouldn't be there you will not be having returning customers! I will not be returning!

My wife was looking for a quality, locally made clothing shop, which led us here. Amazing store with great service from Jessica! Attention to detail and a real pride in artisan craft is very clear. My wife picked up two lovely dresses of different styles and I even found a shirt. I would have walked out with a few, had my size not been in short supply. We’ll certainly be back on our next trip. Thanks!

I called to check to see if the store would be open because yelp said it was closed. When I got to the store there was a post it note saying they were closed for lunch from 2-2:45. There was no mention of the store closing for lunch online or when I talked to them 10 min earlier. There were still customers in the store and there was more than one worker in the store so I don't understand why the entire store needs to be closed for that long. When I called the store to ask about the hours they didn't pick up. They just looked at me called from outside the shop. I drove all the out to do some last minute Christmas shopping and I'm very disappointed with the store.

I absolutely adore their clothes. Their hawaii inspired designs, colors and choice of fabric is spot on for me. If you are looking for a one of a kind look, this is the place to go. I love their playful designs

Love this store and these products.Their prints and fabrics are beautiful and I’m happy for the Hawaiian design, especially that this is originated from Molokai. This is a great spot for gifts. They have pricier clothing items (which had always been popular) but also other smaller and lower priced items that are beautiful.

If you're looking to support and buy local, Kealopiko is your shop! Made on Moloka'i with plenty of aloha, this little shop has definitely come a long way since starting in 2006. Their easy to wear, Hawaiian graphic designs are all unique and one-of-a-kind as each piece is hand screened and assembled right here in the islands. The fun colors and original designs all work together to create fun combinations while also offering just enough variety for everyone to find their own unique style. From mens aloha shirts and shorts to womens blouses, dresses, and rompers, they also have plenty of choices for keiki and for the home as well. On a most recent visit, I stopped by on the first day of their opening at their NEW Monsarrat location. Although tiny in size, this biz was overflowing with aloha; from when I walked in, all throughout my visit and even upon leaving, the staff was fantastic, friendly, and kind. Always offering me help, fielded all of my questions, and even offering me great advice (because I'm indecisive, lol). Parking here is pretty easy with two stalls right in front. I just so happened to be coming from the KCC farmer's market and found street parking on Monsarrat not far from the shop and walked. All in all, I love this local biz. If you're looking for authentic aloha wear, this is the perfect place!

Purchased $300 of merchandise. Chose to return the merchandise for a refund, same day. They said one of the three items was a final sale. There was no signage saying final sale and they gave us no heads up. The other two products could not be returned for refund, only store credit. Auwe This brick and mortar retailer should mimic online retailers liberal return and refund policies. Adapt or perish.

Beautiful store and products . I haven’t shopped here many times but when I do it’s mostly for gifts for others who love the products .Beyond the products the customer service wasn’t the best any time I have come into this store front. The girls who are working seem unhappy to be there let alone help people. Very strong presence of attitude can be picked up by anyone when receiving help . I hope this will change in the future . As a local person I enjoy supporting local business but not if I can’t get some decent customer service . Why pay the prices to be treating like your money doesn’t matter or your business at that .

Aloha this store! Beautiful island designs! One of my favorites!!! Went to their Aloha pillow pop-up at South Shore Marketplace. Absolutely amazing merchandise for home , their products will bring a warm island feel in to any home. The right combination of beautiful colors and patterns! The associates are so nice and helpful . I bought a queen quilt, two baby blankets, a pillowcase and a poof to put your feet up. Can't wait to get home and display my new treasures! I also have a small collection of their aloha shirts and a short. I love the feel of the fabric it's so easy to wear. They also feature beautiful crafts from local artists. I bought a beautiful Lauhala hat here a few years ago! Beautiful Hawaiian store!

I love supporting local artists and vendors but unfortunately, customer service is totally lacking in this establishment. We visited the store on 3/8/20 and not once did the store employee greet us (despite being right in front of her). Her eyes were glued on her phone/computer behind the register. No smile, no eye contact, no "welcome," no "do you need any help." I would have purchased a few aloha shirts that day, but I'd rather patronize a local vendor like Sig Zane. Kealopiko needs to find better employees that embrace customer service. This seems to be a recurring theme as other customers are posting similar experiences.

I have shopped in the store many times as well as online. Staff is ALWAYS friendly & cares very much of the products in hand. I was sooooooo excited to visit the store & find a dress or whatever else comes to mind. I luv luv Kealopiko & their Aloha designs. The cotton is buttery soft. I'm addicted. My recent visit though was not so pleasant. The associate was less friendly & seemed annoyed we were trying to pick a hat with the beautiful Aloha wear sewn on the front. Regardless we purchased the hat and the lovely Ka Sila Hawai'i dress. Maybe she was having a bad day. Buy Local - Support artisans - Support Local goods made in Hawai'i Nei
