Black Pearl Hanalei
I came in just to ask where a public bathroom was - but they were nice enough to let us use theirs, even though I had told them that the products were a little too pricey for people in our income bracket. Mariah told us all about the pieces and the artists anyways, and showed us a few items that may have been affordable for us (as well as some that weren't - but still fantastic to see them and hear all about them and the artists!) She also directed us to their sister shop at Poipu that has some similar items but at a lower price due to the chains being sterling silver, leather, etc. Didn't make a purchase but still a lovely experience. I would definitely come back if I had a bit more money, the jewelry and paintings were beautiful. Thanks Mariah! ~Maximilian
Akamai Juice Company
All fresh! This little spot is clearly putting fresh everything in their smoothies/drinks. You pay based on the size so ranging from $8(8oz) to $11(20 oz) hidden gem in my opinion. I got the magic dragon and Jurassic protein. The magic dragon has chili in it so it has spice but itโs healthy! The Jurassic protein is milky and delicious. ~Talia

Great selection & customer service. The Hanalei Island lifestyle t-shirt I bought is now my favorite to wear. Soft, durable, and cool. Will return! ~Eric
I Heart Hanalei Beach Boutique
My family and I were looking around while waiting to be seated for our dinner. After looking and picking some items up to purchase, the owner asked us all to leave because she had somewhere to go. We would have spent several hundred dollars. I even stopped back another day and she acted like she was doing me a favor by being there. I dropped all my stuff and left. ~Cassandra
