Omg the chocolate and macadamia cookies are amazing!! By far the best I’ve had. Also the deli sandwiches are equally delicious! Highly recommend. 5 minutes from the beach, also recommended!!

This is a cool little place. It is local and very much in the old style. Get food, dive supplies, snorkle gear and good stuff. Worth the turn off the highway.

Best macadamia nut cookies on the island. I send people here all the time. It's hard for me to not make a stop in here for these cookies. My coworkers LOVE them.I also send people here for the manta ray snorkel.

This is a general store… dive/ fishing store, grocer, deli and more.This review is only for their deli, which makes excellent made to order sandwiches and etc.The quality, quantity and service I got definitely exceed my typical experience at local delis. At the time of writing, their sandwiches were cheaper than Hawaii Subway footlongs.We ordered an egg salad sandwich, and tuna salad sandwich. Generous with filling and plenty of super fresh veggies.I eat plant based and my egg salad was highly recommend. You bite into egg pieces and there is a tinge of cumin in the seasoning. Def along the lines of my preferred egg salad.The team at Blue Wilderness insisted we try their signature cookie. Prob a little too insistent ? but glad we did!This choc chip Mac nut cookie is apparently the snack served on their dive tours… lucky guests. Loaded with nuts and chocolate. Halfway between crunch and chewy.I live about an hour from here and so it won’t be a regular visit. But I assure you I am stopping by again. And next time, going for a dive with them too!

I stopped in on a Sunday at lunchtime craving a freshly made deli sandwich. Unfortunately, there were not offering any freshly made sandwich or pizza (probably because it was the weekend.) I settled for tuna wrap from the cooler. It wasn't bad for a pre-made sandwich. It had lots of tasty vegetable add-ins. Kind of pricey at $10.50 though. They have a nice lanai with tables you can eat at or you can take your food to any of a number of stunning public beaches along this road.

Good selection, very friendly service, but overpriced. If you’re staying on Puako Dr it’s very convenient, but Foodland is about 10 mins away and about half the price.

Great convenience for a somewhat remote location.Also, if you are a scuba diver, they rent gear. You can walk in and get a weight belt and tank and be out in 10 minutes. If you're staying in Puako, this is so much easier than going up to Kawaihae for rentals. Pick 'em up one day, dive in the morning and then return, all without leaving the neighborhood. After your first rental, it's even faster and easier as they have your waiver and ccard on file.

We've been coming to The Puako General store for many years. It used to be a fun place with a local feel. Now when I go in there the staff is rude and borderline arrogant. My wife and tried to order a sandwich and they acted like they were doing us a favor. So much for the good old days. I think I'll take my business somewhere else where they appreciateit.

I went here to go get some food, and I was shocked by the amount of food they had, this store has everything you could truly need.

This place has gone downhill since the new owners took over. It used to have friendly staff, good prices, and food you'd want to eat.The current staff is rude, the prices are outrageous, and the food disgusting. There's a reason people who live on the street don't shop there anymore. We know it's worth the short drive to go to Foodland in Mauna Lani or to the shops in Waikoloa resort.
