Very rude, awful customer service! Not worth going to. Go to Five Spice and Bigisland Delights for your snack needs and be treated with kindness and aloha.

What fun! Amazing selection of traditional fruit/candy/seed snacks. Had Manapua and pork hash when I needed just a little something yummy in my tummy. I'll be back

Both a delicatessen and Hawaiian cuisine, this place is perfect for grabbing a quick snack or tasting local specialties. Inexpensive and delicious, go for it.

I saw some bad and I can't believe it. I always have fun when I come here. We have fun, laugh and talk story. Sure I spend money, because I love the stuff they have. The people that complained, seem to have a problem with the covid restrictions. I guess it's the mainland people or the ones who moved to Hawaii for the way, but don't practice the way they say they came for.
Great selection of snacks, especially the popcorn! They have a great lunch menu too. I ordered the Kalua Pig and Rice. It was very good! Great ice cream too!! They are also very friendly and helpful! If you're in Hilo we recommend stopping by there! This was a good find!!

If you're looking for locally-made snacks this is your spot!! Everything is made with love! Dried fruits, li hing mui snacks, even craft items are all here. One stop shop. Family is local to Hilo -- truly the sweetest people. Always happy to support local and their li hing mui gummies are 'ONO!

This is the cutest and the BEST place to get your fav local kine snacks. The owner is super sweet and helpful and almost everything in her store has a story because it comes from a local business. She has a variety of snacks and it's perfect for a lunch break or if you're traveling away from home and wanna take something with you.

Stumbled upon this snack shack whilst waiting for a table at Hawaiian Style Cafe in the plaza. This shack is filled with plenty of local snacks such as crack seeds (preserved fruits), local grinds, shaved iced and drinks. I was initially lured in by their lemon peel gummy bears, which apparently they're famous or well know for. Lemon peel strips? Li hing powder? Gummy bears? Oh yeeah I'm hella down for all those ingredients. The gummies were located right at entrance and I grabbed two little tubs. I browsed around to see what else caught my eye; ended up picking up some lilikoi flavored macadamia nuts for my friend. The nuts were $12 and the gummy tubs was $7 each, which was a lot for a small tub, but I didn't know where else I could find lemon peel gummies conveniently. I didn't crack open the tub until I returned back home from my trip. The gummies didn't look wet, which is what I prefer. I don't like candy that gets your fingers sticky. I looked up diys on how people make these and most are on the wet side due to the sugary lemon juice. Lani's gummies had chopped up pieces of lemon peel and the li hing powder was ever so lightly coated on the gummies. First bite was a flavor rush. Slight tang, sweet and chewy and a hint of salty. Yo, it is delishness. 10/10 nom nom's. You need self control to prevent from finishing the whole tub in one sitting. I ate the bears in small increments to savor them. Once there were a few gummies leftover I decided to add other gummies I had on hand (Black forest gummies). I added them in the tub and shook them up to get the remaining lemon peel and li hing and they stuck to the newer gummies. Life hack right there, y'all! The lilikoi macadamia nuts were good as well. It had a hint of lilikoi and they were reasonably priced. FYI, at Kona airport they were $18! If you're in the area, and you love gummies, definitely pick up at least one of the lemon peel bears. It is so good and worth the splurge. My tastebuds thanked me for getting them lol
