Great spot for a simple snack from Hawaii. Very popular with the the locals and tourist. Known for a variety of shortbread cookies some plain and others dipped in different types of chocolate. Customer service is awesome... Always welcoming and ready to help you find exactly what you are searching for. If you buy a lot, they also have a punch card which will help you possibly on your next purchase visit.
I must stop at Big Island Candies every time Im at Ala Moana. Wonderful stuff, decadence in ample supply, not one healthy thing can I see. A great place to indulge yourself.Personally, I love their chocolate covered brownies. My favorites are the mint and when its the season, their red velvet brownies. Last trip we got the passion fruit flavored ones and they were good too, but it helps if you love passion fruit.All in all, a great place to drop some money on the local economy. Hi, leave your guilt outside.
They started out making these sweets by hand and now 42 years later their original and still Hawaii favorite way to treat .Made the finest of ingredients and made to perfection . A company thats been around that long has to be doing something right and tasty. They make great gifts too! The photos posted gave me a sweet tooth.
Store is clean and roomy. They monitor capacity to ensure customer safety and comfort. Well done!
Had to stop here, our friends would bring these in and share them with us. These are absolutely delicious, Im partial to the chocolate dipped shortbread cookies.
Bought online goodies for loveones in mainland. Big Island Candies delivered it on time as promised. You wont regret giving it as a gift since all of their products are really good most specially the brownies.
Great products love the things you cant get anywhere else like passion fruit, chocolate mochi
They make allot of 🎂 sweets using Macadamia nuts go figure. I havent tasted any of their specializes, I need to watch my figure. They look delicious and I know I will be breaking down to try some soon.
The cookies here are so good!! They also provide a lot of samples so you can try all the different kinds of sweets that they have. Another good thing about the store was that they have small goodie bags! If you dont want to buy the bigger packs they have a lot of assorted stuff. Would buy here again
One of the best Hawaii products to be enjoyed! Always beautifully & creatively packaged...and they offer apoint card too!
Love the prepackaged gift boxes. Excellent safety precautions for COVID-19. Professional staff. Excellent quality products.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Big Island Candies located on the ground floor in the Ala Moana Shopping Center. After sampling a few bites of various cookies from staff, I happened to meet Ashley, a very kind, patient and extremely helpful employee. I was visiting from the mainland, and needed to purchase some goodies for friends/family back home. Ashley was absolutely fantastic! There was no “salesman” pressure, and she took the time to explain the variety of items in the store. She was very thoughtful in answering all my questions and was very patient with me. I really appreciated all her help. She is an employee Big Island Candies can be truly proud of.
Big.Island.Candies... Need I say anything else?! Lol! Great professional service, store was clean and neat as always, products easy to locate, displays very attractive (and oh so very tempting, lol!!), saw some different items from the last time i was there. Overall great experience. I sure miss the free samples though, 😉😁, darn covid! This store is a must visit for omiyage to send off Island. ❤👍💕 and by the way, Harumis shortbread cookies are da bomb! Not too sweet, with a light sprinkling of sea salt,, very ono!! A must try if you havent so far! The packaging is beautiful, quality, lovely, sturdy and makes for a lovely keepsake box- well worth it💕
The store is very clean and well stocked. The staff is helpful and cashing out was easy.
Please bring back the mint brownies. Continues to be one of the products I live to give as gifts.
Love their cookies and good location to shop too
So glad we have a location on Oahu. Have to often to get items for mainland friends Jonesing for some Hawaiian Love. Store is clean and employees very helpful. Have to try the chocolate covered brownies.
My weakness with a sweet tooth! I got stopped at the airport for having too many sweets on me
Great gifts for family and friends. Service is awesome.
Great selection for yourself and to give as a thank you gift.
Most items were still in stock & prices are very reasonable for the high quality & packaging of the product. I patronize them every year during the Christmas season.
Delicious goodies
Love their products. Cookies, brownies, candies are all so delicious! They are the BEST! Friendly staff. Love this store. Do stop by and shop here. Youll be happy with your purchase.
Sad they dident have any caramel chocolate cookies
Good covid protocols and of course awesome confections.
The chocolate covered cookies
There is nothing like it. All the other cookie places can never touch the variety they offer. We are so fortunate that they decided to open a single store in a shopping center here when their grassroots come from being hidden in a residential area of Hilo from their humble beginnings.
This is a great store if you are wanting something for yourself or are looking for a gift. They have everything from cookies to brownies to candy. There are always plenty of samples for you to try. Everything is packaged so beautifully. There is a nice selection of small items to larger items. I never walk out empty-handed.
I was stunned with the outrageous amount of different treats. We got to try just about EVERYTHING we desired. The people and whole store was a great experience! I will definitely come back!
Good tasting cookies and snacks and there famous short bread cookies. A must to go there anytime for a quick snack.
Best short bread cookies with chocolate
Yummy shortbread cookies and other sweets. Try the Taro shortbread, it tastes like taro. Bought these as gifts for my family in NY. If youre in the store, they will let you sample the product before you buy. Also, they have a big selection of sugarfree cookies.
A wide selection of base cookies and dipped options. Brownies, crisps and crunches are also available. Selected samples are there to try which can assist making purchase decisions. All the staff are friendly, approachable and product knowledgeable without pushing sales and this is appreciated.
Yummy. Sample given once you walk in and samples laid out on most tables. Good variety of cookies but I wish there was more (chocolate) candy options available. Also sugar free options for cookies and chocolates.
Great candies. Prices can be kinda high. But their passion fruit chocolate is amazing!
Love the Hawaiian cookies.
Awesome cookies! A large variety of flavors and they have samples to try. Makes for a great alternative gift option from the stereotypical chocolate macadamia nut candies from Hawaii. Dont forget to add a box for yourself!
Beautiful gifts and really tasty treats
They have what I think the best candy, coffee and every flavor of macadamin nuts anywhere.
I got some Hawaiian salt cookies and the staff was very helpful
Very attractive store, with a large variety of candies, chocolates and cookies.They offer tasting samples of most of their products. After tasting you are tempted to buy the whole store. Their products are beautifully packaged, making then great gifts for your friends back home.
Terrific!! Personable service.
Great quality products, very friendly and helpful staff. Too bad they sometimes run out of items but that just means those items are popular!
Great shortbread cookies and various dips
Pinappled flavores are very delicious. Its good for survenuor.
Candies are pretty good. But a cashier named Louisa provided bad service, so rule when was asked a question.
Very busy but efficient check out. In and out. Good samples too.
Commercial tasting cookies. Its okay. I prefer/recommend Cookie Corner. Get the assorted mini bites.
Hawaiian chocolates and other treats . Free samples and ice associates popular with Japanese and other tourists. Slightly pricier than ABC stores. Lots of business traffic in store.
Cute and friendly.
Delicious cookies, free samples, clean, friendly and helpful staffs! What else can you ask for?
Great cookies. Plan to spend some cash there. Worth it. Your friends will love it
Great gifts for your loved ones back home or for you to eat!
Aloha and be aware that this place has one or more prejudiced sales staff at the Ala Moana mall. My wife is Japanese and I am local but because she knows we come to check out the samples once in a while, she avoids us and walks away. No smile or greeting, just pure racial descrimination directed towards us who live in the same city as herself. Mahalo
Local favorite. Really yummy shortbreads and chocolates beautifully packaged. Perfect for omiagi.
Great delish treats from the Big Island. Have samples that you can try. Great customer service
Amazing sweets and the best shortbread cookies youll have; makes a great gift.
I watched as the ladies were making Chocolate dipped strawberrys. And various other treats. They looked berry good. The strawberrys were giganic!
Talk to Pauline she is wonderful at suggesting the right gift
Ono selection of quality chocolate macadamia nut and other local confections.
GREAT PLACE TO BUY CHOCOLATES!!🤩
