Came across this store on Instagram and was pleasantly surprised when we browsed the store! Crack seed and snack galore. If you like lemon peel candies, check out this shop! Picked up a basket of lemon peel goodies, and li hing snacks. My dad finished an entire bag of candies right when I brought it home. They also have Chinese snacks available and a bunch of cold drinks. Minimum on cards is $10, they have a parking lot right in front of the store

Hey gang! It's almost Chinese New Year, and if you're wondering where to get the best crispy Chinese Pretzels, head to the windward side to Family Grocery Store located in the heart of Kaneohe town! I only started coming here because I heard the Crispy Chinese Pretzels that you see at Long's is made (or distributed) by this store, so I wanted to go straight to the source to see what it's about. It's a small grocery store in Kaneohe Town, owned/operated by a Chinese couple. I try to buy pretzels from here instead of at Longs because the price is lower, and I'm supporting a small business. If you're planning to buy a lot of bags, call ahead to make sure they have them in stock. Their lemon peel gummy bears are delicious too! They also have Asian groceries and a nice selection of crackseed.Closed on Sundays.

Family Grocery Store is conveniently located right across the street from Taco Bell on Kamehameha Highway. It's a tiny store in a strip mall but you can't miss it. The signage is quite prominent. Quite a bit of parking Is located conveniently right outside the store. They have so many different kinds of seeds and kaki mochi. I went there specifically for the Extra Sweet Li Hing Mui but I ended up getting other types as well. The woman who was working was pleasant.

I love their seeds!! There's no aspartame in the ones I got as gifts, crackseed, rock salt plum, soft seedless li hing mui! I will definitely go see what other goodies they have. I always support mom and pop stores!

This is the second store on our quest to find dried ginger that doesn't have that artificial sweetener after taste. Came close but no cigar. This store has a wide selection of crack seed. The lemon strips were pretty good. Friendly service, so give them a try and support local.

I LOVE their Sesame Seed Peanut Candy. Every time I go home I pick up a container of this wonderfully soft, not-so sweet, and crunchy treat.

It's the lemon peel gummy bears for me!!! I randomly stumbled upon them at Long's Kahala and grabbed a bag for my boyfriend. I'm not even much of a candy eater, but I ended up eating half the bag myself! They're unlike any other that I've EVER had before!! He asked me to go back and buy NINE bags... and I did! Lol!

Wish I discovered this business much sooner, as it i close to my home and they are well-stocked with Chinese essentials that are often difficult to find on island. They also have other Asian special foods, ie Vietnamese, Singaporean, etc. The owner helped me with ingredients for a traditional dish that my Popo used to make. She is very knowledgable about Asian cooking. I also found some chinese candies there from my childhood that I had been having difficulty finding. The owner is friendly and super helpful. Prices are also lower than in Chinatown. Really great market!

Friendly service and an awesome variety of Chinese "Cracked Seed". Found a new favorite, licorice seedless Footballs... (Olives for the novice seed ventures...) I actually should have kept it to myself cause I want to be sure to get me some more next time I go.. their white sweet seedless li thing mui is really great too. Softer texture and make your salvia glands get that awesome pinching sensation that let's you know you are sucking on something completely onolicious. Variety of packages sizes aw well. They also carry an array of asian dry goods for Thai, Vietnamese and chinese cooking staples.

I was at Long's one day and passed by a bag of lemon peel gummy bears. They were the best I've ever had. A delicious tropical blend of gummy bears with a soft chewy texture, and layered with the perfect blend of sweet and tangy lemon peel pieces. It was so good that I drove from town to Kaneohe to seek out this store and see what else they had. I stocked up on several bags of the lemon peel gummy bears and picked up a few other items. The crispy pretzel was surprisingly one of my favorites too. It's almost like a thinner, crunchier version of a fortune cookie. Light and addicting. The lemon peel gushers were also amazing, a tasty twist on a childhood classic. This place is cash only and has parking in the lot. Definitely will be back again.
