Da Store is a local convenience store in Pāhoa on the Big Island of Hawaii, described as a hidden gem and a haven for the community. It is a quaint and picturesque place with a warm, welcoming, and friendly atmosphere where visitors are treated like family. The store offers a diverse range of products including good beer, groceries, fresh vegetables, lemons, everyday essentials, and local Hawaiian-made goods. It serves as a community hub and gathering place for both locals and tourists. The store is noted for its convenience, saving people from having to go into town, and many express gratitude for its long-standing presence. Some customers have shopped there for over thirty years and feel blessed to have it. However, there is a note about the store's food pantry, which operates on the fourth Monday of the month, where arriving very early is reportedly discouraged. While most feedback is highly positive, mentioning the charming ambiance and the helpful staff, a couple of reviews lightly note not seeing a baby or that prices could be a little lower. Overall, Da Store is considered an integral and beloved part of daily life in Pāhoa.
