- ChocolvrTownville, PA71 contributionsDon't miss the Farmer's Market in Hilo! Many handmade crafts, paintings, photographs for sale under the tents; cross the side street to find an impressive
selection of fresh fruits, veggies, coffee, honey, etc. Lots of little shops and good lunches within easy walking distance.Written 23 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Have you ever seen the lava bubbling inside a volcano? After a visit here, you will have! So many amazing photos of Hawaii that would make the perfect souvenir of your trip to the Big Island.
The customer service is tremendous and the owner and main photographer, Bruce Omori, is as talented as he is kind.

Currently her hours vary (owing to covid), but when I saw through the window the delights inside, I called the owner. She arrived within 10 minutes. That is amazing customer service.Written 20 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 無名Japan8,163 contributionsMaybe but yes according to the count online. Is this supposed to be some kind of watershed event in my life? I doubt it but it seems to hold some unknown significance in my mind. I was thinking I would be writing some meaningful, personalized prose for #1000, possibly a culmination of some sort of whatever it is I'm doing with these reviews, but I doubt that as well. Maybe I'll only talk about the East Hawaii Cultural Center - no I doubt that too. While this place is kind of an interesting looking building - an old police station I believe - it is really unexceptional. Or at least my visit was I think. The only area enterable is part of the ground floor which houses an art gallery now featuring an exhibition by an artist named Douglas Diaz. This exhibition is titled "Grief" which is something I should've easily connected to but didn't. I'm absolulely sure Diaz puts a lot of intense thought and effort into his work, but I didn't get it. Wish I did if only if for the selfish reason to believe I have some sort of depth to my existence. And why I make walking into a minor art exhibition a definition of my being is incomprehensible to me as well. You know, I think I should go back and look at Diaz's work more closely than I did. There are lots of words on some (maybe all) of his works. Basquiat did a similar thing. I shouldn't have just glanced at them. I should've given those words some thought. Actually it's kind of odd that I didn't if you know me and words. My mind must have been preoccupied with something else. I don't know - I'm thinking I owe it to Diaz and myself to go back and take a second look. I did have a nice conversation with the young man who was minding the store that day. Comes from Poland and told me he thinks Hawaii is the best place in the world to live like it's paradise or something. Hmmm. I talked with a homeless man in the park across the street after I left here. He told me he sleeps in the entrance way to this building every night. I was thinking about asking him to get me something but I didn't. Some paradise.Written 26 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- J HHilo, HI124 contributionsI love strolling on the paved parking lot, just being able to talk to the local vendors about growing orchids, herbs, etc. There is even a bakery with goods baked in a brick oven. Gotta try their cinnamon rolls. I buy all my produce for the week. Also beautiful orchids at half the price of a regular retail store. Need anthuriums or floral arrangement for a gift or for yourself. Great varieties available.Written 16 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mary Kay TWestminster, CO476 contributionsYou’re greeted at the door with cookie samples and Kona coffee.
While watching the production process through the windows there is ample time for shopping.
Buy shortbread cookies to take with you - they’re amazing!Written 23 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

of mother nature at her firey best!
Nice!
Located in a clean, cute, part of Hilo town between 2 musems, a fine hawaiian clothier and an upscale, cozy restaurant that serves lunch and dinner. A nice area to spend some time. Check it out!! They are open until 8.Written 14 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But that was not the case. It is a modern strip shopping mall with mostly restaurants and a few locally owned shops - pet store, jewelry, modern clothes, cupcakes, etc. the mall was not what I was expecting nor what has been previously advertised. Nice to check out if you are looking for ways to kill time in Hilo.Written 14 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KentOlsenHilo, HI5 contributionsA rotating showcase of truly local talent. A tiny hole in the wall place run with passion by a young lady working hard to make the artists' life a reality for many up and coming local talents. You never know what you'll find, but it will be interesting!Written 5 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jen Jen1 contributionWe booked this tour last minute and so glad we did. Farmer Tom was so welcoming and informative and it was so neat to see aspects of growing cacao all the way through producing yummy chocolate. You will not be disappointed if you take this tour. You also learn a little bit about the other crops Tom grows.Written 13 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The owner, Suzan is very knowledgable and carries a nice range of artists, styles and price points. Most of the art is tropical/Hawaiian themed. The owner is happy to arrange to have your piece shipped to you, and everything comes well packed/protected.Written 15 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HatzlachaVirginia864 contributionsIt was a spontaneous stop to check out some local antiques. It was a good mix of all sorts of things, though music and art seemed a bit more prevalent than other things. Prices were very fair. The owner turned out to be a super nice guy, easy to chat with, and had lots of knowledge about both the items and the area. Well worth a stop if you're in the area, particularly if visiting the local farmer's market.Written 5 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
