NO Price on anything, made them up on how you are dressed, will not recommend, nor will be returning, so sad to have to drive into Hilo for a decent thrift store with prices on item or above rack, transfer station in wai’ohinu will get our business,

Very good selection of food and other things, and it’s clean, people working at check out are nice
I Love Our Community Store..
Love this as it is my preference for my closest grocery options.
Check for 6.99/lb ahi in the back corner.
Great little local grocery store
Fairly priced and reasonably well stocked.
One of two food stores
I agree about the friendly staff but when you call and Malama staff leave you hanging on hold twice to address a simple question it’s time to review other options.
Produits de première nécessité, mais un peu cher!!

Had just what I needed for my microphone set up at the KBExtreme Karaoke Lounge
Top-notch musical instrument store! Went seeking a tenor ukulele for my wife and they took all the time she wanted trying instruments, discussing pros and cons of different woods. No pressure to buy or upsell, just honest love of music! They even showed us their vintage fender pedal steel guitar, but this was a bit out of our price range! Good prices, knowledgeable staff, would definitely shop here whenever in Kona!
Knowledgeable staff always a big help and available for questions. If you’re lucky you might stroll in while Dylan or one of the other guys is demonstrating a guitar for someone!
Good prices, good variety of gear. Guitars and amps a great value. Hard to find, keyboards are a bit dated. Knowledgeable staff, fun atmosphere. Great place for musicians.
They have knowledgeable staff and usually have what I’m looking for. If not, they give referrals.
Awesome owners
Visited the store yesterday to buy 2 ukuleles. There were 2 customers ahead of me. Staff spent ample time with those customers and I waited patiently. I appreciated the attention that was given to them and I was looking forward to the same treatment. After 50 minutes (yes, 50 minutes), it was finally my turn. After speaking to me for 5 minutes, he excused himself to talk to the customer who just entered the store. I was dumbfounded. After a couple of minutes, when it was apparent that he did not want to help me, I left. I don’t know what I said or did, but it was clear that he didn’t value my time or wallet. I wasted a lot of time and he lost a sale.

Wonderful fella in the store. So pleasant to chat with. The vibe of the store is super cool. I came wanting to buy something special, but not wanting to break the bank. He was amazing explaining what the features of each ukulele were and in the end I found the perfect Uke!
Absolutely would recommend this place to any music lover
Amazing helper
Best place for anything musical…and if they don’t have it, they will find it for you!

Friendly and knowledgeable service
These guys usually have what I need and their prices are reasonable. Great repair shop as well.
Although the store supposedly opens at 10:30 AM on weekdays, I arrived to this store at 11 AM and no one was inside and the lights were off.
I’ve been here twice. The first time I stood off to the side, but in view of the clerk. I stood there for at least 15 minutes, while 2 different customers were attended to. I wasn’t even spoken to.
The next time I went in to buy some finger picks. I was spoken to, or maybe grunted at, while the attendant restrung an electric guitar.
I’ve had enough.
Waited outside patiently for 30 minutes during an employee break. When the employee opened the shop again he told us to leave as soon as we stepped in. Giving no explanation, just saying “goodbye”.
