"Walked into the store and a cute sweatshirt caught my eye however, my experience was ruined when I didn't get greeted or acknowledged by the worker. However, the white woman behind me did. Would not recommend shopping here if you're a person of color, save your money and spend it where you are appreciated as a customer."

"One of my favorite stores in Hawaii! I also get something cute when I visit the store, no exception!"

"Such great gifts! We found the perfect gift for our dog-sitter - a Kauai “Thanks for dog sitting!” Kitchen towel. We got a cool ornament too. Friendly and fun staff. Great location."

"Love this place so much! A must store when traveling to the islands. Such a great selection of wonderful items! I’ve been to the store in Lahaina in Maui and this one in Kauai is awesome too!!"

"First, this store looks adorable. I was in Hanalei twice in the past two weeks but neither time was it open. I had seen a framed print in the window and wanted to purchase it. The sad thing was that both days there were two people in the store, BEHIND the register, and they completely ignored me at the door. I just wanted to see if there was a way I could purchase later over the phone or online and to get the price and name of the item so I could ask for it. I wasn't going to ask to be let in or anything. They seemed to see me and ignore me. Their dog did come to see me through the door but not them. How disappointing and as a business owner myself I must say what poor business sense. You've been closed because of covid and the landslide and I am sure things have been tight. Are you really going to be so stringent to follow posted hours when you have two people in the store and you could at least answer my question?. I did look online for the item and actually purchased a few things but couldn't find the one I was looking for. Disappointing and poor business."
