Great shop! Wish I had more time to buy all the Magic Sam and Otis Rush records and dig thru the bins!
shop owner was very helpful! i love the decor and design of the shop. will definitely be stopping by again!
We stopped in on our way through Waimea en route to the Kona side beaches. A cozy record store with great decor, friendly staff, and a nice amount of inventory. Not too much but enough to kill an hour browsing for sure. Also has a dedicated Hawai’i section as well. And very fair prices. Couldn’t leave without grabbing a few records for the flight home!
Great selection of vinyl. However very unfriendly person behind the counter. Did not acknowledge me. Just sat back behind the counter. No smile, no aloha.

The studio space sounds fantastic while being comfortable and the owner is great to work with.
I knew Charles Brotman and his family back in the day. I have seen the virtual tour, and will be staying near Kona in December 2023. Hope to be able to visit and catch up then.
Hope to be able to update this review later this year.
I recorded at Kaye-Smith in Seattle for a TV special when I was studying privately for 5 years with film voice dubber “The Ghostess with the Mostess” Marni Nixon when she lived on Mercer Island (i also house sat for Marni a few times when she was out concertizing and teaching at Cal Arts, Valencia, etc. etc.
I remember Charles and family, and we are so proud our home town hero won a Grammy! Cheers, and Aloha.

A beautiful store filled with amazing gems, stones, precious rocks, and so much more. A perfect store for those in touch with natural and their spirits. A go to place for gifts.
Love Sweet Wind & have been shopping there for many years ~ excellent high quality crystals, candles, jewelry, beads, spiritual music & books etc. ~ SO grateful to have this store in our community
Shaktified!
The shop was very cute, with some unique spiritual items. The person who greeted us was not overly friendly tho.
外のベンチで景色を見るのも良いですよ。
Terrible service, owners were rude. I watched the owner snatch a woman’s cell phone out of her hand for looking up a book online that she had on the shelf. They literally got into a wrestling match. Don’t go here unless your ready to throw down! Expensive anyways
They had a good selection of things but when I walked in, I didn’t necessarily feel welcomed? The desk woman asked me for the crystals prices which confused me because I’m not going to assume she was the owner, but atleast have a little sheet of paper with the prices so you aren’t counting on your customers for the prices. Then she didn’t tell me the total price and just stared at me for a hot second til I asked for the total.
The woman working was so incredibly rude. My 12 year old sister was so excited to explore the store as she is fascinated by crystals and mindfulness, and was even more excited about the selection that she wanted to show our other sisters and took a picture. The woman so rudely told us “NO PHONES, COME ON YOU GUYS!” rather than simply letting us know that no photos or phones were allowed. We were so excited for this experience but were so let down by the lack of friendliness in this environment.

100 percent love this shop. Customer service is spot on. Answered all my questions clearly. Very knowledgable about their products. Shop display is clean and menu board is impressive.
Super helpful, and friendly service.
Awesome people! They always have friendly service every time I go there.
Good service. He sold me exactly what I asked for. I was in and out. He didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t need.
Small shop, limited selection.
I like the staff, very helpful. The environment is relaxed, unfortunately the don’t always have what I need.
