Banyan Mart is a small, convenient store located in a great spot on Alii Drive, making it perfect for visitors in the area. It offers a wide selection of items, including non-alcoholic drinks, beer, wine, snacks, dry goods, produce, and ice. Despite its small size, the store is well-stocked with everything needed for cooking or quick purchases. The staff is friendly, respectful, and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Customers appreciate the personal touch, with some staff sharing photos of past volcanic eruptions and offering free ice. Although cash-only and slightly pricey, Banyan Mart is a valuable option for those in need of groceries or supplies, especially since nearby supermarkets are limited. Its friendly service and convenient location make it a favorite for local visitors and travelers alike.
We are staying across the street and the staff are extremely nice... and they had a sewing kit in stock so I could fix my wife's dress... so awesome.

The store is great and carrys many items you may need at reasonable prices. Even low cost beach and fishing supplies. Trisha is kind and fun to talk to. The store is well organized and clean. Great stop on Ali'i Dr. in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Great little market. Slightly limited selection but a little of everything you need. Extremely welcoming local shop.
