440 Kilani Ave, Wahiawa“Tamura's is a little local community gem. The store is older and they are not as stocked as some of the chain monsters are. However, I find the pricing and inventory to be more than adequate. The parking lot is a decent size and their hours of operation are also decent. Little bit of everything here, from ice to liquor and beer to snacks + the regular grocery store items.”
“If you need something, they probably have it. This is a quaint more than a liquor store kind of store, where they sell goodies and supplies and where you are always greeted with a smile. The beer is cold and the food is hot.”
““The Convenient Store” from Next Goal Wins. I only wish they sold the tee shirt! What’s best is that this truly is a convenient store in a fantastic location. Do you need it? They probably have it. If they don’t have it? You probably don’t need it! Don’t miss the butter mochi at the register.”
“A hidden gem on the North Shore. Shochu may not be for everyone, but those who know buy up many bottles. Unique among Hawaii distilleries, and using local ingredients. It was also a pleasure coordinating a purchase (you should look at the schedule and email first) and visiting Ken's one-man shop. Arigatou gozaimasu!”
“Stopped by Haleiwa Bottle Shop while in town and picked up 5 cans of different ciders and hard seltzers. They had so many local small brands and it was really hard to limit myself to just 5! Staff were very nice and friendly. I def recommend Haleiwa Bottle Shop if you're looking for something different to drink!”
“Yuen’s is my hometown liquor store. It’s the first store coming into Nanakuli. I grew up going to this store. Brad & Warren, brothers took turns running the place one in the morning, one in the evening. They would rotate shifts. They hired different people throughout the years, and Brads wife also did some shifts. But anywho they are iconic and is better than fast stop!!”
“Nii Superette is a hidden gem on Oahu! When I decided to be sober and researched alcohol-alternative beverages, I stumbled upon this one-in-a-million store! Steven is nothing short of an alcohol-free "sommelier" and I look forward to his wisdom and guidance with each visit!”
“Nice shop that’s packed. Has a good selection of some of the harder to find whiskeys that aren’t allocated as well as plenty of wines. Gentleman who runs the shop is super personable and tries to give back as much as he can to regulars. Worth a quick pop in to see what’s in.”

“Nice option, however seem like they do t understand supply and demand or maybe it's just hard to get certain items. Buffalo Trace is highly desired but it's seem they only get one case every few months.”

98-129 Kaonohi St Suite 6003, Aiea“KIM is the best!! She took care of us and made us feel so welcome! We were trying to track down a certain bottle and she called us the moment it came in! Wonderful customer service from Kim! Will definitely be coming back!”

98-1268 Kaʻahumanu St Suite 102, Pearl City“Idk if people don't understand what a pake store is but growing up in Hawaii the pake stores were almost always run by grumpy old Asian people lol, but in return they have better prices than the gas stations and a pretty good selection of things you won't find just anywhere. I saw a reviews of people complaining about the old guy being rude and grumpy but all the times I came here and he was here it wasn't ever such a big deal that I wanted them to lose their business. just saying”
“We had a rocky start with them but now I know how to get through to the right department! We have a kegerator and had issues with the liquor store not letting us know when the keg we ordered was not in stock. Now we call Paradise before we place our order!”
“It's a decent convince store that's locally owned and operated. It can seem cluttered at the register, and the back half of the store could use more lighting”
