 Largest grocery store on the island |
90 Ala Malama Maui and Molokai, HI 96748 United States +1 808 553 5615 |
The benches outside this downtown grocery store seem to be a local hangout. It starts around 8:30a, when a few old men gather to shoot the breeze. By noon, the crowd usually expands to include a few employees from the store and neighboring businesses. The store itself is large, busy and decently stocked. While it's only half the size of a mainland grocery store, it has all the necessary items, just less quantity. A bulletin board up front advertises events, services and items for sale.

Necessities & accessories priced sky-high |
5165 Hana Hwy Maui and Molokai, HI 96713 United States +1 808 248 8231 |
Truthfully, this store is nothing special. But that fact does not in the least diminish its status as one of Hana's top tourist stops. Of course, the fact that it is one of only two places within 20 miles that sells little necessities such as potato chips, camera film and Kleenex definitely adds to the allure. The store is also quite the meeting spot for Hana residents. It is easy to spot them: look for the ones hanging out in the aisles for 20-minute stretches, chit-chatting about kids, work and the state of the surf on nearby beaches. Review © 2007, Wcities |

2411 S Kihei Rd Kihei, HI 96753 United States +1 808 875 4356 www.hawaiianmoons.com |
Is marinated tofu with baby greens your idea of the perfect lunch? If so, this is your kind of grocery store. It is located on the jam-packed South Kihei strip and caters to health-conscious people of all kinds. The food is organic and delicious, with a variety of deli and grocery items available.

 More than baked goodies |
79 Ala Malama St (Downtown) Maui and Molokai, HI 96748 United States +1 808 553 5855 |
If you love the smell of fresh bread and pastries baking, visit this historic venue. The bakery, founded in 1922 by Fred and Shigeo Kanemitsu, was originally based in a shack in Manila Camp. After moving to the downtown location in 1931, the operation expanded to include a cafe. A huge old-fashioned gumball machine adorns the bakery area. The spacious but plain dining room has peeling linoleum floors, Formica tables and no windows. The food is inexpensive and satsifying. A full American-style breakfast costs around USD5.50. Lunch fare includes burgers, sandwiches, salads and local plate lunches. Cash only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

All About the Ice Cream |
693 Front St Maui and Molokai, HI 96761 United States +1 808 661 3310 http://www.lahainagrill.com/la... |
Walter Lappert is a Hawai'i legend. He began a tiny ice cream business upon retiring in Hawai'i in the early 80s. That tiny business quickly exploded; at this point, it has locations all over Hawai'i. Your nose will recognize this place before your eyes spot it. The scent of the fresh-baked waffle cones wafts out of the store and drifts dozens of feet away. Inside, choose from several varieties of decadent, outrageously high-butterfat ice cream. A few outdoor tables are available, most people choose to walk with their cones. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For all your sailing or windsurfing needs, this is the place to go. It's got loads of the latest gear for rent, sale or exchange, and the knowledgeable staff will happily find the equipment that is right for you and your budget. The staff is also glad to share information about the hottest island sailboarding spots and current windsurfing conditions. Additionally, the shop can set you up with accommodations around the island. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The only place in town |
200 Maunaloa Highway Maui and Molokai, HI 96770 United States +1 808 552 2346 |
Locals congregate on the sunny front porch of this downtown general store. The easiest way to distinguish it from the other green farmhouses with red trim along Maunaloa Highway is to look for a small crowd of relaxed-looking Hawaiians. This is the only place in Maunaloa that offers any kind of decent grocery shopping. Food, toiletries, sundries and hardware are for sale. The selection is decent, although with not as much variety as what can be found in Kauanakakai town. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Kaunakakai's oldest |
Ala Malama Street P. O. Box 69 Maui and Molokai, HI 96748 United States +1 808 553 5505 |
This establishment claims the distinction of being Molokai's oldest grocery store. It's located on the two-block segment of Ala Malama that comprises downtown Kaunakakai. It's near Friendly Market, an impudent upstart that is also the largest store in town. The store sells a variety of food, drinks and sundry items. Fresh fish and meat are in stock. A small supply of liquor is for sale (though not much; this is a religious island). Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great selection, good service |
77 Ala Malama Maui and Molokai, HI 96748 United States +1 808 553 5009 |
Anyone who's looking for friendly spirits on the Friendly Isle will probably want to come to this store. It's pleasant, clean and upscale; closer to a wine shoppe than a liquor store. A wide selection of wines from around the world is available. Interestingly, only one Hawaiian winery, Maui's Tedeschi Vineyards, makes an appearance. American and Oriental snack items and candy are also sold. The owner looks like a mainlander but is as friendly as any local. Review © 2007, Wcities |

East End general store |
Kamehameha Hwy (Route 450) 16 mile marker Maui and Molokai, HI 96748 United States +1 808 558 8498 |
This is the last store on the East End. It's located far out on the road, three miles past the Wavecrest General Store. As befits a neighborhood store in a remote area, it sells everything from groceries to souvenirs to cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. This place also serves complete breakfasts and lunches at the counter, which makes East Enders very happy they don't have to go to Kaunakakai to eat a cafe lunch. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Vegetarian cafe and market |
33 Makaena Place (adjacent to Chevron Station) Maui and Molokai, HI 96748 United States +1 808 553 3377 |
For vegetarians and anyone desiring healthy food, try this tiny cafe, located at the edge of downtown in a funky white tin shack with a bright green door. The vegetarian lunch bar serves many low-fat sandwiches, salads and burritos, as well as fresh juice drinks and smoothies. This is pretty much a takeout-only place. The adjoining health food store has a decent selection of bulk grains, beans, cereals, fresh local produce, juices, vitamins and supplements. Cash only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For Dead-Heads and Gourmands |
1215 S Kihei Road Maui and Molokai, HI 96753 United States +1 808 874 3779 http://boverman.com/stella_blues/ |
The hippie theme of this restaurant is somewhat deceiving. It has a lot more to offer than Grateful Dead posters and sprout sandwiches (though it has those, too). Located on the northern end of South Kihei Road, it offers high-quality organic food at prices that may seem high but are actually reasonable by Maui standards. Everything here is fresh and organically grown; meat is hormone- and antibiotic-free. Try the Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes for breakfast. This is also a good place to enjoy a cup of coffee and dessert. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Little sundry store |
Ala Malama P. O. Box 1890 Maui and Molokai, HI 96748 United States +1 808 553 5442 |
This un-prepossessing store sells snacks, drinks and sundries. It's the kind of store that's two-to-a-block in any major U.S. city, but on Molokai, there's about two in the town. Stop in if you want to buy chips, soda, cigarettes or cookies but don't want to cope with the lines and aisles of Friendly Market Center down the street. It takes about 30 seconds to look around the store and another 30 seconds to make a purchase and exit. Review © 2007, Wcities |
