A great place to pick up staples and unique things to try while vacationing! Lots of local choices for snacks, noodles, meats, and breads. Local drinks and coffee round out choices in addition to Island beverages.This store is clean, organized and staffed with qualified staff. Love that they make the carts available right at the door!

Came here after flying over to get some groceries. Lots of Hawaii-specific items (ie for the beach, snacks, poke, etc) but of course lots of the classic Costco items that can be found all over the US. Had some samples which were tasty, and then went to the food area outside for a mango smoothie.Since the mango smoothie goes into a single-use plastic cup, I asked for my smoothie to be in my reusable cup. I even verbally said I don't like using single-use plastics, and the person helping me used the usual single-use plastic cup to measure how much to give me, poured it into my cup, and then threw away the cup. Ridiculous, what is that?! Just give me the plastic cup in that case then if you're not going to reuse it (use that cup for the next person who orders a mango smoothie). Use your brain please! Or just tell me no, a bunch of the smoothie was wasted too being poured not all the way from that thrown-away cup. Sigh.

We love the prices and products available to us here on a small island. It's a great resource for our staples.Costco pizza at the snack bar was new for us this week. Got it hot and had to eat a piece right away. It was good. Huge pizza for $10! Fed the grandkids and they were happy campers!

This is a REALLY nice Costco! It's got the cheapest gas on the island - $4.85 for regular and $5.05 for premium. The pumps are a block away from the main building, and there was no wait on 3/8/23 at 7:30PM. The greeters in the main building were friendly and efficient. After using the clean restrooms, we looked around. We were mostly interested in buying men's shirts for Husband. They had really nice polo shirts for $20 or less, and they had Hawaiian burton down shirts for $20. We bought 4 shirts and used our annual rewards to pay for most of them. Tuesday night we had hot dogs and drinks for $3.14. Tonight we had 2 slices of pepperoni pizza for $4.17. The food & drinks are outside, next to the main building, and under a covered area. Food was hot and good both nights. We LOVE Costco!!!

Mango smoothie ($2.99) - saw that it was all fruit with no added sugar so decided to try it. It's sweet and a little tart. It's thick but not icy.Spicy Ahi Poke ($20.99/lb) - a nice kick from the spicy mayo and loved the crunch from the green onions and onions. The fish was fresh!

Whenever my wife and I take a vacation to Oahu, Maui, or Kauai, our first stop after we land is Costco. Costco is our go-to source for whatever we need for the duration of our vacation. This usually consists of water, snacks, and anything that is sort of exclusive to Hawaii that we can't normally get on the mainland. We can always depend on Costco to be there.Aside from checking out things that aren't typically available to us at Costco, we always check out the food court as well. In Kauai, you'll find a mango smoothie. Of course we tried it out. It was awesome! It's pretty sweet but very refreshing!We can always count on Costco to be our treasure hunt on the island.

Kauai Costco had a few different local items that can only be bought in Hawaii such as Molokai coffee and a box of hurricane furikake popcorn. They had some other items but we weren't really interested in those. Overall Costco is Costco and it's a good buy.

If you have a Costco membership, I highly recommend coming here at the beginning of your trip. They have the best prices on the island for groceries, alcohol, and Hawaiian snacks. However, you're still in Kauai, so it's going to cost a little more than Costcos in the other islands and, of course, the mainland. Their price for poke and sushi is a little steep, though compared to places such as Foodland, Safeway, and Times. But just like every other Costco, they have the inflation-proof $4.99 rotisserie chicken and $1.50 hot dog combo!Their Hawaiian snacks section is a little light compared to other Costcos I've been to in the islands; however, you can still find cases of Hawaiian Host macadamia chocolates no problem. I was also glad to find Koloa coffee and coconut rum here! The best prices too! Only $27.99 a bottle!

I've been to Costco on Oahu, Maui, Big Island and now Kaua'i (and of course the mainland.) This Costco has the same "Hawaii" section as all of the other Costcos - chocolate covered macadamia nut cases (12 boxes for $36.99), $8.99 sarongs, $19.99 Hawaiian shirts, rash guards, swimsuits, various Hawaiian alcohols, chips and treats. Costco is legitimately the cheapest on any island for these items. Costco is probably the most expensive place to purchase poke, but is fairly affordable for lomi lomi salmon. If you're a tourist, you don't need a Costco-sized poi - you're not going to finish it, so skip it. My issue with this Costco is that the groceries are SO expensive - but still more affordable than a regular grocery store on Kaua'i. $14.99 for 15 pounds of potatoes? $13.99 for 10 pounds of onions? $12.99 for 2 pounds of strawberries? Surprisingly, Kerrygold butter is the same price as it is back home on the 9th island. I noticed that unlike every Costco I've ever been to, people were leaving with very few items in their carts, including people who were clearly locals by their purchases. Luckily if you're feeling the pinch on Kaua'i, the Costco food court is the same price on the mainland, especially with the $1.50 hot dog and drink combo. Visited: January 2023

ONLY Costco on the island an located in Lihue.... This Costco is CLEAN. I love that. Hawaiian goods and snacks are in the middle, front. This is where we get all the sweet and savory snacks to bring back to the Mainland. We always stop in for that. I bring a duffel bag just to hold these snacks and hand carry them on the plane. HA! The fresh sushi case is also good as one day it was our lunch choice. There are a lot of options as far as rolls and sashimi goes. I wouldnt hesitate to get that again. In the last few years, they have implemented the self-checkout lanes which we like a lot. This Costco also has a gas station but it is not on the same lot as the warehouse. You have to drive further on Nuhou St to get there. The Costco gas is right next to Home Depot.Staff has always been friendly here and helpful. Always been Aloha...Food court has mango smoothies... Only in Hawai'i... You're welcome.

Call the administration office for information. Needed this make 3 calls before some will answer. He gave me the wrong information so I had to drive there and speak to a floor manager who gave me the accurate information. How sad the even a high profile store has awful customer service. Thank

It's a Costco. It does have a short aisle with Hawaiian products. Cookies, macadamia chocolates, coffees, etc... If your giant family clan is visiting all at once of course you shop here for the mass quantities. If you are just a couple who want to provision your air bnb for the week visit, go to the nearby Times Supermarket.

My husband and I shop at Costco often and when we do , we often have lunch there. For the price you can not beat their hotdogs and pizza . The customer service inside the store is always excellent and it's always fun to shop there..especially now that they are serving samples again!! Costco we love you..keep up the great work!!

Went into our local Costco today and had the worst possible experience with Andrew as our checker. We had to come in with our handyman due to a large purchase of flooring and other home improvement items. We were quick in line and even had a pre-count of flooring boxes to make things easy. We greeted Andrew with a smile and went out of our way to be fast and assist him. Andrew remained rude and gave us dirty looks the whole time. When my credit card didn't go through you would've thought I personally insulted him! He barked orders at me while rolling his eyes. There was no one else in line but he acted like this was December 24 right before closing! He wanted us OUT and felt fully entitled to treat us worse than refuse. If Andrew is reading this I am praying for you and that massive chip on your shoulder. You should be working as a bar bouncer or the tow truck dude that repossesses cars! No way ANDREW should be a checker at Costco. No can. His cousin must have got him the job....
