“Great store for Polynesian keepsakes, with plenty of stuff handmade on the islands.
Staff member was very friendly and volunteered useful information, including a disclosure that the coins we were looking at were replicas, which we appreciated!”

“Fun experience at the Dole Planation. I had one oyster with two beautiful white pearls. I had them made into simple earrings and I got to pick another free oyster for getting my pearls set and my son picked one that gave us a gorgeous rose pearl. I chose not to have it set and there was zero pressure about that which I really appreciated. She even pierced the pearl for me to make it easier to get it set later. Great experience!”

“Thought I'd do a review of a long standing shop in Haleiwa - this store has been here for a lot of years, so that alone should give you confidence. I have seen it forever, but will admit this was my first time actually stopping in to see what was offered. First reaction - a really nice selection of saltwater and freshwater pearls, reflecting choices from black to baroque to white pearls. Black pearls, white pearls, a mix of colors, this place has a ton of options. What I really appreciated was an honest assessment of each option I looked at - oysters can be finicky with pearls, and create perfection as well as a "perfection" that would appeal to many of us. What I really appreciated was no push to upsell, just a genuine aloha to help me and other people in the store find something that was right for them. This store doesn't have a lot of local reviews, so I felt it important to give a local. honest review. Frankly, I expected just to do a "just looking" walk through - after all, regardless of what tourists think, pearls are not found in our waters, let alone oysters - but the personal service, and the comfort, even glee of pointing out what may not be "perfect" but will have character, is what sets apart a personal sales experience from mass market. Ultimately, I chose a fantastic looking black saltwater pearl with an "imperfection" that played beautifully into the gold clasp. The price was quite reasonable, the help in shopping made it a learning experience as well as a discovery. I don't know anything about pearls, I'm from Oahu and we don't have pearls/oysters here, but I loved this little shop and the honest discovery. If you are local playing tourist for the day like me, or a tourist, for crafted jewelry, this is a very nice spot.”
“Definitely one of my favorite stores! The ladies who run the place are so friendly and make sure you have a great time in their store. The merchandise is GORGEOUS and well made. If you are looking for gifts that are better quality than all the cheesy Hawaiian junk, this place has lots of choices. The have a wall of shells, shell and other pretty jewelry, pillow covers, water bottles...lots of pretty things. Enjoy!”
“Great little shop. The staff here were nice and were able to answer questions about the area. This shop has lockers for rent so you can lock up your stuff while you snorkel on the beach across the street without worry. As of this post the lockers are $10 to rent. They also have a changing room which was a god send considering the bathroom at the beach is kinda gross. Definitely a place to stop to make sure your visit to sharks cove is more comfortable.”
“Located in Haleiwa, which is on the north side of Oahu. Beautiful pieces of jewelry. They have rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Unique looking items that have natural pearls. Very pretty. Plenty of parking around the store.”
“It's been awhile since I've been to this location, but Cookies never disappoints. Always cute clothing which I couldn't pass up on and I met such a very nice and personable manager by the name of Yolanie. Thank you for your help and it was great chatting with you. Will be back for more cute outfits. Supporting local businesses especially with what happened with the flood is a great way to give back.”
“My blue turquoise peace pendant set looked even nicer in person than online. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it was. Very classy and unique. Will be ordering more!”
“Such a cute store with so many cute things!! They didn't have many large sizes available and definitely no XL sizes. Luckily, I was able to find a couple of pieces that sit me and maybe ended up being one of my favorite dresses!! I think what really put the cherry on top for my rating of 5 stars would be the service. The girls there were really on top of helping the customers by taking the clothes and starting a room while we shopped around. They have a larger store in Waikiki but I loved the smaller feel of this one in north shore!”
“The person that helped me was super nice and made it a good experience getting my pearl and setting it in a silver ring. It's so pretty and I can't wait on wearing it.”
