Scored at this awesome place in downtown Hilo! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Check em out!
Absolutely Awesome .
I Definitely recommend dropping in.
Bought a guitar and now I’m giving it 5 stars: long over due.
Spencer is a very personable individual who is very knowledgeable. The store itself is quaint and stock can be limited but it has pretty much everything that’s needed in general.
Drove an hour , website said open, answering service said open, closed during advertised business hours.
3. Da Beans Green Coffee Café & Kava Lounge
Address: Attached to Pele’s Hana ‘Ana Hostel, 17-937 Volcano Rd, Mountain View, HI 96771 , Mountain View , Hawaii , United States
Phoenix is the best cook ever he made me my first vegan nachos and was super nice!!!( :
I had a very cool experience. This place has great vibrations
Exquisite down to earth comfort. The owner is a peacefully warm individual who takes pride in the heritage of his establishment. The walls are decorated with fine local artist’s heartfelt photos, stained glass, paintings, cards…of Hawaii’s teasures. The food selection appears gourmet style with an array if satisfying drinks.
The soothie I purchased ‘it the spot’ & the turtle painting & stained glass dolphins will create the Soulfull Ambience of the Hawaiian Culture
Forever in my residence
Mahalo, DaBeans Green
Very chill chill environment. Absolutely loved my raw coffee green coffee cold brew and the food was fabulous.
The owners were kind an passionate.
Definitely a good slow down to a fast past day.
Très bel endroit, service de qualité et agréable !
Une carte originale dans sa description 🙂
Toutefois prix légérement élevé pour la qualité des plats
(avocado toast avec simplement une tranche de pain de mie par exemple)
Parking: Parking juste a coté
Service is great!
Food is good but could be better for the price, my friends and I were dissatisfied with the amount of food we got. We felt hungry after finishing our meal.
Information is incorrect > place is closed
Visited because of all the good reviews but I’m not really impressed. Costly for what you are getting…I also had stomach issues after a latte here which disrupted much of my trip here.
Hour and a half wait and counting, for 3 drinks.
The food was mediocre at best while being extremely overpriced. Cream cheese and bagel was very salty and the avocado toast did not have any seasoning at all. The size of the bread used for avocado toast is so small even a 5 yr old would be hungry after eating it. The atmosphere and service on the other hand were good. All in all if you want value for your money with aptly priced food, this place should not be at the top of your list.
4. Hawaiian ʻUkulele And Guitar
Address: 212 Kamehameha Ave, Hilo, HI 96720 , Mountain View , Hawaii , United States
Nice little music store and the owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. Loved their brand of Ukulele. Great clarity and sound and cool logo. I’ll be looking for a baritone Ukulele.
I like these guys a lot. I went to their old kona location years ago to buy my first uke. I didn’t have the money but they showed me a few chords. Years later I became a pretty good ukulele player. I went into their Hilo location to buy myself a quality ukulele with a quality case. They were as helpful and friendly as they’ve always been. I spent four hundred dollars with them that day and I would do it again. Awesome people.
Didn’t buy a guitar but treated myself to an awesome set of polarized bamboo shades here!! The person that checked me out was very nice and helpful! Quality place and stuff!
It’s a nice place and they have good quality.
This is a nice store with a knowledgeable and fun owner. Because of the prime location expect to pay retail prices. You can find cheaper prices if you shop around. I bought from him because he engaged my son and made it fun.
Unfortunately I can’t give 5 stars because the owner was unavailable to give lessons. He said he’s too busy and looking for a teacher, so things may change. I ended up taking my kids 2 blocks away to Hilo Ukulele and Guitar. Rick there gave the kids low priced lessons and threw some discounts for merchandise.
I guess if that store wasn’t available, I’d give this place a 5 star review. But competition does exist, which is great, so a solid 4 stars from me.

Friendly and knowledgeable service
These guys usually have what I need and their prices are reasonable. Great repair shop as well.
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”.
Service was awful acted like I bothered them by asking questions about ukulele. I will buy somewhere else.
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.
7. Soundwave Music

Cool guys always willing to help me learn about the guitar
So happy with the lovely instruments and fast friendly service.. And the discounts.. really., this place is great thank you so much‼️ ☺️
They have knowledgeable staff and usually have what I’m looking for. If not, they give referrals.
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.
Friendly knowledgeable service, reasonable prices and a good selection!
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.

Make sure there is actually a movie in the case. Happened to me 3 times in a month. Tried to let them know and they (Redbox) basically wanted me to do the work of fixing the problem even after I told them I was not able to do that.
11. Music Center of Hawaii Inc
Address: 2347 S Beretania St. #200, Honolulu, HI 96826 , Mountain View , Hawaii , United States
With a little time, this mom-and-pop shop fixed my saxophone at a reasonable price. I will return for my other instruments.
Took my Grandson’s trumpet in to be repaired, they did a great job on the repairs at a very reasonable charge. Repairs were done very timely and without delays. They also have a great selection of sheet music which we picked up for the young trumpet player in our home. This is a great Mom and Pop business that will get more of our business in the future.
Very helpful service.
Best place to go very helpful and knowlegeable
Very friendly, very affordable!!
They don’t buy used instrument
I didnt know you can’t be laughed at cause you didn’t have enough cash on you … How low class can you be ….

A small thrift shop, but with a surprising collection of books. Friendly service, ample parking
Great stuff great deals
Amazing and relaxing spot for younger kids
13. Volcano Store
Address: 19 Haunani Rd, Volcano, HI 96785 , Mountain View , Hawaii , United States
Careful at the gas pumps parking is kind of different
Great place to pick up snacks before going to see the Volocano
Convenient store at Volcano, Hawaii. Good place for air tire service.
Good for emergency, but don’t plan on tjis as your primary source.
Never get pro pain here!!!!! Never!!!
Living in Hawaii I am well familiar with high priced convenience stores. It’s to be expected, especially in rural areas, but this place is beyond high priced and down right offensive. It’s got a decent selection compared to other stores in the area so I’m forced to go here under certain circumstances, but I would never give these people business if I didn’t have to. Prices are absolutely unfair and their staff is totally unfriendly. I find it literally rude to charge your community those prices. $11.38 for a basic pack of playing cards? Who do you think you are??
14. WestSide Music Hawai‘i
Address: 94-239 Waipahu Depot St, Waipahu, HI 96797 , Mountain View , Hawaii , United States
I felt welcome the first step inside…the guys who helped me where friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be coming back
I live in Ohio and bought a guitar for my son who lives in Honolulu. Did the whole transaction over the phone. Ron was fantastic! The guitar is great, my son loves it, and Ron made an unusual process easy. Thank you fur your Aloha Ron!
Was worth it
Bought my ukulele here with no problems. You are able to try out the instruments as much as you want. Visited a couple times before I decided on the best one for me.
First time there and very helpful
so many things you can find there. Nice variety for music items. Nice staff too
15. Volcano House
Address: Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, 1 Crater Rim Drive, Pāhoa, HI 96718 , Mountain View , Hawaii , United States
Fast and friendly service as well as contact less curbside pick up
Used my McDonald’s app to order a take out at the Wal-Mart location and it was ready in 5mins. Just walked in and picked up the order which was sitting at the counter. Avoided waiting or standing in line…lol.
Smaller restaurant but has touch-screen tellers (4) so you can order faster. Don’t wait in LONG drive through, just one window, go in the store.
Look, for everyone who shows up from somewhere else on the planet, they aren’t slow….. They are on Hawaii time. So chill, relax, take a deep breath and enjoy the fact that you’re in Hawaii. Use the time to enjoy the person or people you’re with. I also recommend tuning your radio to one of the many Hawaiin radio stations. With that said, the food was fresh, hot and tasty.
~aloha
This McDonald’s…its just like every other one around….except that this one is right across from a school So every day when school lets out….it fills up with kids! It is packed but it is across from the shopping center so nice to grab some to go before you head home!
They are super busy. The workers are nice. And food is fresh.
Verrry sloooww
I haven’t been to a McDonald’s in several years, and I understand that the food isn’t gourmet. But what I don’t get how is beard shavings in my ice cream is okay. I called the store and talked to the manager, and it did not seem like they had taken me too seriously. They were accepting of my claims, but seemed very uncaring in attitude and did not even offer to give me a refund until I had pushed for it. They had wanted to give me credit equal to the price of the cone. It was gross. I didn’t want credit, I wanted a refund because I’m not coming back.
I hope the managers/owners see this, and do something about it. Otherwise the health department might do it for them.
Remodel took way to long they were always scrabbling around. Seamed to not know what they were doing. As of late they are more efficient but have a long way to go. Don’t be in to much of a hurry when choosing this MB Donald’s.
17. Keaau Shopping Center
Address: 16-540 Keaau-Pahoa Rd # 6, Keaau, HI 96749 , Mountain View , Hawaii , United States
Great place to shop close to home. I just love foodland period.
Excellent specially meat department. The two Filipino ladies there always asked me if I need help n so with the other employees .
Convenient but over priced
Had what we needed
The parking lot can get kind of crazy sometimes use caution when entering
Grotesquely expensive. You can make up the money for the gas to drive to Hilo on one or two items at Target.
DO NOT go by the prices posted on the yellow label on the shelf. It’s deceiving. You have to be a local club member to get these prices and the checker does not offer a club membership or I fo at checkout. What I thought was going to be around $100 ended up being $171. Quality is fine
Not one of the cleanest market in town. Fish stalls generate strong fishy odors…
19. West Valley Music
Address: 300 W El Camino Real, Mountain View, CA 94040 , Mountain View , Hawaii , United States
This has quickly become my new favorite spot to pick up a pack of strings. They are polite and have the standard selection of guitar strings but keep in mind the focus of this shop seems to be band rentals, sheet music, and knick-knacks. Their site does not have their inventory but I strongly recommend calling ahead and seeing if they have what you need before making the drive to one of the big box shops.
Tremendous selection of sheet music. Great selection and fabulous prices on musical instruments. Thoughtful and talented private instructors.
I’ve shopped a variety of music instrument stores and by far for the instruments I was buying West valley music had the best prices.
Excellent service!!
I stopped in to buy new strings for my electric guitar and was surprised to find a good selection of accessories in addition to the brass and woodwind instruments they have on hand. They have a few guitars covering a decent price range, but they are definitely not what I would consider a guitar shop. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, and I know that I’ll be going back for any other music related purchases in the future.
Average music supply store, at best. Staff is disorganized and has lost orders on multiple occassions. Stock is geared toward elementary music. Lessons are offered in the back, which leaves the main shop quite crowded with parents waiting for their kids. Acceptable, but not outstanding shop.
Took my flute collection in for a possible tune up. Was told that all but one of the flutes were unplayable. Guess my looks or money weren’t what they accepted there. Took my ‘non playable’ flutes, and commenced to use them to busk, there in downtown Mtn View. Odd that they were declared unplayable, yet I was playing at least one of them not 30 minutes later. Care to explain West Valley Music staff ?
