Waiola Shave Ice

2135 Waiola Ave corner of Paani Street
Honolulu, HI 96805

Jack H. writes: This is the Waiola's to go to for the very best Azuki Bean Bowl on the island. Yes, a major secret of this place is they make the ice SUPER-fine - no chunks of hard ice like cheap imitators - makes a huge difference. IMHO, they seem to do it just a…

Ono Hawaiian Foods

726 Kapahulu Ave
Honolulu, HI 96816

Kristina R. writes: Out of fear of retaliation from the loyal-to-the-death locals, I MUST give Ono five stars.

But if I had a choice, it would still get five stars. This is awesome, authentic Hawaiian food, served with a smile and some good advice about the raw…

Leonard's Bakery

933 Kapahulu Ave
Honolulu, HI 96816

Kristina R. writes: I took a shortcut.

I just superglued them to my hips...like little balls of cholesterol-laden joy.

MORE OF ME TO LOVE, DAMMIT.

Waiola Bakery & Shave Ice II

525 Kapahulu Ave
Honolulu, HI 96815

Kristina R. writes: The Mochi Bowl. DROOL.

There is something otherworldly about this shave ice. It's not Matsumoto's sweet, and it's not generic Hawaiian tourist fare. The ice was so fine, it melted upon contact with my sweltering tongue. I've never had anything…

Costco Wholesale

525 Alakawa St
Honolulu, HI 96817

Keane L. writes: This is the best damn Costco ever. Come if you like find some onolicious local kine grindz like lau lau, saba and sushi roll with real crab, brah.

And I love people-watching by the register, determining their plans based on what they buy...

Bubbies Homemade Ice Cream & Desserts

1010 University Ave
Honolulu, HI 96826

Jack H. writes: The most consistently excellent ice cream and desserts -- across the board -- I have experienced anywhere, including some parallel offerings at 10x the price at 5 star establishments. I'm pretty picky about dessert shops, and don't care for most at…

Shirokiya

Ala Moana Center
Honolulu, HI 96815

Kristina R. writes: A Japanese market/department store in the middle of Ala Moana? PERFECT.

I went in looking for Pocky, and came out with an arm-full of weird Asian treats and snacks, laden with salt and MSG. I can't imagine a trip to the Islands without bloating up…

Liliha Bakery

Honolulu, HI 96817

kainanny c. writes: COCOA PUFFS!!!!!!!!!!

Ste B1-9
Aiea, HI 96701

I looked in their cases and saw X-Men #1 for $1000. My jaw dropped through the floor. …

Dave's Hawaiian Ice Cream Parlors

611 Kapahulu Ave Ste 103A
Honolulu, HI 96815

Cynthia A. writes: I tried the ube (purple sweet potato) ice cream. It was a gorgeous, gorgeous purple. The ice cream was yummy, but I kind of wished I could taste more purple sweet potato for the novelty of it.

The fiance had the Hawaiian Mud Pie ice cream. We both…

Beard Papa's

227 Lewers St., Suite 126
Honolulu, HI 96815

Kristina R. writes: They now have SAVORY puffs?!

I'M DOOMED.

And they were all pretty tasty. The fake crab was a little much, but the chicken and tuna salad puffs were cute enough to pound down with a Calipo Lychee drink.

To be honest, I double fisted the chicken and…

Tamura's Fine Wine & Liquors

3496 Waialae Ave
Honolulu, HI 96816

Brent K. writes: The convenience of this place is great since I live down the street. Tamura's has an excellent variety of booze. Name your drink and they'll most likely have it. Their wine variety ranges from your cheap everyday wines to the types that some people…

Ice Gardens

99-080 Kauhale St
Aiea Shopping Center
Aiea, HI 96701

Liz T. writes: This store gives Waiola a run for its money. Not only is the shave ice melt-in-your-mouth, the product is far better in every other respect. The azuki beans aren't reduced to a pulp, the mochi balls aren't hard as a rock (Waiola is in dire need of a…

Morning Brew

572 Kailua Rd
Kailua, HI 96734

Kristina R. writes: I am sitting at Morning Brew RIGHT NOW, using their $3.00 a 1/2 hour computer as I type this.

And, by golly...I DO. This place is so friggin' sweet. I…

Honolulu, HI 96817

Why?

Why wouldn't he? This is the place for seafood if you are in the King Street/Kalihi area. Maybe you got bored at Bishop…

Diamond Head Market & Grill

3158 Monsarrat Ave
Honolulu, HI 96815

Liz T. writes: I finally got around to sampling the Market. The Banana Bread was dense, moist, and incredibly delectable. Easily the second best I've tasted in my life--major! The Blueberry & Cream Cheese Scone was a giant piece of pastry heaven. I didn't even have…

Foodland

2939 Harding Ave
Honolulu, HI 96816

Liz T. writes: If I'm going to pay a premium for groceries, I'd much rather hit up Safeway on Kapahulu Avenue than Foodland--more brands, better produce, and first-rate customer service. But Foodland has really good Ahi Shoyu Poke (sometimes it's too salty, though)…

Tea At 1024

1024 Nuuanu Ave
Honolulu, HI 96817

Danielle Y. writes: First off- I love afternoon tea. And E loves clotted cream.

I especially love afternoon tea that is LESS than $16 per person. That my friends is the definition of HOT.

Anyway, so I and a third of my faux family, E (the other third, A, is still in…

Safeway Food & Drug

590 Farrington Hwy Ofc
Kapolei, HI 96707

Sammy S. writes: Sometimes I dream about poke.

There I am, amidst a field of seaweed salad and large tubs of different sorts of poke, and I'm all faklemped because I can't decide between the ahi, salmon, shrimp or tofu poke. And I start shvitzing and then my dream…

Honolulu Coffee Co

Bishop Sq
Honolulu, HI 96813

Olivia D. writes: Not only do they roast their own coffee, the cafe has a comfortable atmosphere and provides for great people-watching no matter which location you are at.

Best of all, their pastry chef, Abby, trained in France and makes ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PASTRIES…

Down To Earth Natural Foods & Lifestyle

2525 S King St
Honolulu, HI 96826

Anita L. writes: To be able to find something like this here in Honolulu is truly a blessing. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to purchase all the organic items we were used to in the Bay Area. The funniest thing was, the minute we went in there, my 5 yr old went…

Kailua, HI 96734

NotThatSassy G. writes: What a cute and fabulous place. Went for happy hour had the escargot and fish du jour how yummy! The food was wonderful and sitting on the patio getting drunk off delicious red wine what better way to spend a late afternoon. Great for a date, but…

Mondo Gelato

Waikiki Beach Walk
226 Lewers St - Ste 130
Honolulu, HI 96815

Liz T. writes: After returning from Italy where I ate gelato 3 times a day, I was excited Hawaii had gotten a gelateria during my absence--now I could keep up my bad habit at home. Alas, Mondo Gelato doesn't compare to the stuff in Italy, which was addictively…

Nisshodo Candy Store

1095 Dillingham Blvd Ste I5
Honolulu, HI 96817

The Sock S. writes: I love eating chi chi dango. I love saying it just as much too. But the soft goodness is a tradition. Can't remember when I actually had my first bite of pillowy love, but it was a long time ago.

I've had lots of different mochi, and can even make my…

Palama Super Market

1210 Dillingham Blvd
Honolulu, HI 96817

Kristina R. writes: My mom drags me her whenever she needs to stock up on good Korean grub. It's the market part that drives me nuts...too many little old Asian ladies bumping and pushing to get the better daikon radish. But the little food corner is amazing! They…

Formaggio

2919 Kapiolani Blvd
Honolulu, HI 96826

Joshua C. writes: I've always wanted to open a restaurant whose entrance was just an unmarked door in a graffitied back alley. Upon entering, guests would pass through a low ceilinged, cramped, dark, wood paneled passage way. It would lead to a lofty lounge space that…

Starbucks Coffee

Halekuai Center
563 Farrington Highway, Space 101A
Kapolei, HI 96707

Keane L. writes: I love this Starbucks. It's my hometown, dangit!

When my friend and I happen to visit home at the same time, we go down here and reminisce over coffee and/or chai. The store is spacious and the outside area is nice (though a bit smoggy from…

#214

Mad props for catering to the what the locals, (and kama'ainas living on…

Baldwin's Shaved Ice

Aiea, HI 96701

Ewa Beach, HI 96706

If you want to try something new try a Pomegranate…

R Field Wine Company

108 Hekili St
Kailua, HI 96734

Agnes Portuguese Bake Shop

46 Hoolai Street
Kailua, HI 96734

Wahiawa, HI 96786

4303 Diamond Head Road
Honolulu, HI 96805

Liz T. writes: I finally woke up early enough to hit up this place. Talk about senior citizen central--at 7:30AM there were at least 100 of them stocking up on plants and produce for the next year. Well, at least now I know where I'll be hanging out on Saturday…
