 Cheap coffee and local products |
26 1/2 Mile Marker, Old Volcano Highway Hawaii, HI 96785 United States |
Tourists come here to stock up on locally made Poha and Ohelo berry jams, but locals know the real lure of the place: coffee at 75 cents a cup. That may seem only reasonable in the home of Kona coffee, but at neighboring places it ranges from $1.50 to $2.50 a cup. Coffee by the pound, soft drinks, liquor, snacks and other necessities and sundries can be purchased here. The store is also a gas station and general hang-out spot. It's family owned and authentic, taking pains to promote local artists and crafters. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Handmade Hawaiian quilts |
Old Volcano Highway P. O. Box 959 Hawaii, HI 96785 United States +1 808 967 8090 http://kilaueakreations.com |
One of the main attractions in tiny Kilauea Town - apart from the volcano itself, that is - is this quaint shop. It is known for its authentic Hawaiian quilts, handmade by locals and featuring unique patterns. Customers can buy finished quilts or, for considerably less money, invest in a quilt kit, complete with pattern and cut fabric. The store also sells wall hangings, pillow cases, Aloha shirts and other textile specialties. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Truly exotic flavors |
35 Pi'i Mauna Drive Hawaii, HI 96785 United States +1 808 967 7772 http://www.volcanowinery.com/ |
The Big Island's only winery offers a sampling of the genuinely exotic. If you are taking a day trip to upcountry Volcano or if you are staying in the area, it is an opportunity to tour the grounds and enjoy a tasting. The scenery here is unparalleled: at the 4,000-feet elevation, you have views of two volcanoes. The atmosphere is relaxed but refined. Wine tastings are available every day of the year, be sure to check out their website or call beforehand to check on current wine tasting times. House specialties include Lehua Blossom Honey Wine, fruit wines, such as Passion Chablis, and the ever-popular Macadamia Nut Honey Wine. Take a few bottles home; they make great gifts.
