Got hounded by the people there, felt like they were pressuring me to buy stuff.
Could not look at one single product without them approching me to tell me how great it was and how it was made by locals. Every. Single. Time.
It being local is cool but please let me breathe a little. If your products are nice enough, they will speak by themselves.

Memorable boutique with a perfectly curated selection of locally crafted souvenirs. Visit the jewelry shop within the store, Maui Divers Jewelry, for a pearl of an experience with Hector, who has a detailed history and knowledge of their treasures.

Perfect place to buy all your Hawaii products. Friendly, helpful staff, who exemplify the Aloha spirit, free samples of mac butter, quality sandalwood jewelry. Could have easily spent 3X as much and never regretted it. Shop here for all your local goods.

Tasty Kona is a must-see for those looking to bring back souvenirs created by local talent. The beautifully arranged boutique is full of artistic surprises in every corner. Treats, greeting cards, stuffed animals, jewelry, posters, puzzles, towels, hats, accessories, body care, and more!
My favorite is the pretty greeting cards from Ellamoonart.
The Tasty Kona staff also deserves a special mention for their passion and knowledge of the products they sell, making each visit even more rewarding.

Tasty has a very friendly staff. They’re also keen on authentic, locally made Hawaiian goods, which is fantastic when you want to bring something home that’s genuine to Hawaii.

This is the cutest store selling a lot of local artist wares. We loved it! The staff were friendly, the store clean, and the merchandise was fun and diverse.

We cruise quite a bit and have been to gift shops all over the world, and Tasty Kona is one of the best anywhere!
We stopped in today without looking for anything in particular, but were drawn in by the light and openness of the store and the welcoming and friendliness of the person working there (perhaps the owner).
We love buying local products and came away with several, including a toy for our doggy and Kona coffee based hot sauce and seasoning.
Tasty Kona is a must for anyone visiting town, and I hope we will be back in the near future!

This shop in the heart of this little shopping village was such a fun place to go. The workers were not only friendly but professional and seemed to enjoy their jobs. One of the workers was on day 3 of their job and was completely professional and such a fun person to talk to. The other worker was super accommodating and offered to let us try the teas they had pre made which they switch out every 3 days if my memory serves me right. We didn't try the tea but if you are looking for an authentic taste if hawaii tea, stop in here! They have stickers, bracelets, and other fun items for the tourists. Such a charming place. Defiently stop in and check it out!

If I could give this store more than 5 stars I absolutely would - they have been nothing short of amazing!!
Was caught in a pinch needing to send a newly married friend of mine, a Congratulations style basket (via phone, all the way from Boston) in a very short time frame. This company came recommended to me by a friend on island, and all it took was one phone call and the lady who helped me (maybe the owner..?) Eva was SO incredibly helpful and kind. She was very responsive, quick with her service, fair with pricing and had the most wonderful and fun suggestions for ideas to add into the basket for the couple. She really made the whole process seamlessly pleasant and I couldn't be more grateful for her prompt assistance - THANK YOU!

Tasty Kona is my favorite shop on The Big Island. Unlike any other store I've been to on The Big Island, Tasty Kona is filled with local, artisanal, and truly unique merchandise. From tasty treats, to jewelry, to highly-curated & high-end souvenirs, Tasty Kona has it all.The staff are extremely kind & helpful and you can always try samples of their delicious treats!There are now 2 Tasty Kona locations. Both are epic. Tasty Bou also has beautiful clothes.Don't miss this shopping experience if you're on The Big Island!

I love this shop, a lot of unique finds, and great people running the place. Left with a bag full! All local Hawaiian finds! Not the typical shop by any means.
