Talk Story Bookstore

Reviewed By SnowBeans - San Diego, United States

While traveling, I always make it a point to visit a local bookstore. If possible, I find one with a great story and Talk Story may have the best narrative. It is the westernmost bookstore in the United States and the only bookstore on Kauai. It was a highlight of our visit to Hanapepe and a great way to conclude our day after hiking in the Waimea Canyon. Talk Story offers a great selection of books with a fantastic focus on Hawaii. The staff was knowledgeable and welcoming. I picked up a few books and enjoyed the time spent browsing Talk Story. If you love cats, you will appreciate Talk Story's Boss - Celeste.

Taro Ko Factory

Reviewed By TimB2993 - Lausanne, Switzerland

Tiny little shop in the tiny Hanapepe village. If you are lucky and find the owner inside then you can enter and buy 5 different sorts of potato chips. If he's not there, well you're out of luck. Anyway, this place is definitely worth passing by. It is a gem off the beaten path, and a must if you love potato chips. We tried all different types and loved every single bite. We regret not buying more!

Jacqueline on Kauai

Reviewed By E1362PVrobertg

Jackie is a character and a sweetheart - also an outstanding seamstress who cranks out beautiful Hawaiian shirts. I'm a big guy and have a lot of inexpensive shirts that just don't fit right. She made me a great shirt that looks and fits great. You are going to pay more but they are competitive with any high end shirt (like Tommy Bahama). She'll get it done in a couple days. Lots of other hand-sewn stuff as well. Hanapepe is at little tattered and reminiscent of old Hawaii days and Jackie's shop fits right in. Say hi to the lovebirds Bougie & Bacall. Cash only for purchases.

Well it is not a fancy place, but the “Kookies” taste great. When you walk in there are plenty of samples. Taste them all. Hard to beat the shortbread macadamia nut.
