Kaka'ako Farmers Market

I finally made it to the market!!!! So glad I did and I will have to go back. Well for the fresh made food, to eat right there, and fresh baked good to bring home. Or all the fresh fruit that my family and I can never get enough of. The highlight of my trip would be I found the Organic Turmeric Treasures. I tried the honey and I have now been taking a small spoon full a day and love it. So good and so god for you. But all I got the capsules. I have inflammation and pain issues and I take two capsules in the morning and one at night and after a week I can already feel the difference. This place made the market worth it for me!!!! Love all the vendors I bought from, so find filled with aloha spirit took cash or card, and loved to take with the kids.Shout of to 444everdesign as well they made our kids day. We love to go shelling and they gave the girls each a shell that they still love to this day!!! And for the adults their jewelry is amazing!!! It can get crowed so just take your time and enjoy the experience. Treat others with love and respect and you will love it too!!!

No matter when you go, it's lively and fun, and just looking around makes you feel excited! The other day, when I went by car, I couldn't find a place to park, so I gave up and had to find a place to park nearby. If you're going by car, I recommend getting there early, or go by Uber, bus, or on foot. I'm going to get a popular burger someday, but there's always a long queue and I don't have the energy to wait in line. After all, booths that are famous on SNS are full of tourists, and only those who have the will to wait can get products. My motto is to be able to buy without queuing up, so I buy vegetables, fruit, cut flowers and potted plants. I'm not the only one who always wants to take them home when I see beautiful flowers (laughs). In particular, I like a gardening store called PANG'S. My favorite young staff man, who always greets me with a nice smile, kindly explains how to handle the flowers I buy. He also puts the flower pot in a box for me so that it is easy to hold, so I can carry it safely to my home even when I have no car. While watching the live show, breakfast seems to be fun for tourists, but I'm going to leave as soon as I get what I need (laughs). Maybe someday I'll listen to the live show with my friends who are coming to Hawaii for sightseeing. It's not bad idea for a way to have a leisurely breakfast!いつ行っても活気があって楽しくて、見て回るだけでも気分がウキウキと高まります！でも車で行くと時に駐車する場所を確保する事が出来ず、敢えなく断念。でも何とか他の駐車スペースを確保しました。車で行くなら早目に出るかそうでなければウーバやバス、または徒歩でいく事を強くお勧めします。ところで、私はいつか人気のバーガーをゲットしようと思うのですが常に大行列で私にはそこに並んで待つ気力は有りません。やはりSNSなどで有名なブースは観光客がいっぱいで、待つ勇気の有る人だけ商品を獲得出来るルールになっているみたい(汗) 並ばず買える事がモットーの私は、野菜、果物、そして切り花や鉢植えを買って帰ります。綺麗な花を見ていると必ずお家に連れて帰りたくなるのは私だけではないはずでしょう？(^_^) 特に私の好きな園芸店はPANG'S。いつも優しい笑顔で接してくれる私のお気に入り？(笑) 男性スタッフは、私が購入した花の取り扱い方を丁寧に説明してくれるんですよ。また持ちやすい様にボックスに入れてくれるので車が無い日も家まで無事に運べます。ライブ演奏聴きながらブレックファーストはやはり観光客の皆さんの楽しみの様で、ローカルの私は必要なものだけ手に入れたら即座に退散する事にして居ます(笑笑) そのうち私も観光でハワイに来ている友達と一緒にライブ聴きながら、観光気分でゆっくりブレックファーストするのも悪くは無いのかなぁ〜、と思う次第です。

They have got to be one of the most busiest Farmers Market everrrrr. Although I hate looking for parking , when I am around the area, I try my best to show up to this location. The amount of fun and exciting vendors that pop up here weekly is amazing.

Produce, food booths, drinks, crafts, jewelry, live music, art work! What more do you need? Going to town on a Saturday morning is not first on my list, but mom wanted to check it out so off we went. Great BIG selection of a variety of vendors. Only downside was parking. Especially after the rain. The parking lot was muddy and not alot of signage to help which way the rows were supposed to go. Creating some confusion I didn't need. We ended up parking for free at Ward Center and walking back the short way. Whew much less stress! Put on your walking shoes! Rows are vendors most not too busy lined both sides of the street. Take some cash, although a few vendors told me they prefer people use cards. Most likely that's easiest for them to process and not have to deal with making change. I will go back which if you know me is saying alot!

Our favorite farmers market on the island! I wish I was open more than just Saturday's but that is what also gives it its charm :) You can find parking in the dirt lot nearby but there is also beach parking at the waterfront park down the road and roadside parking if you don't mind a little walk. And SO many vendors with a good amount of tables and chairs strewn throughout where you can sit and enjoy your snacks. The stand out stars: - MANGO TOAST from Haawi Toast and Tea, on the west (Makai) side of the market, near Joja's Smash Burgers. - ALMOND COCONUT TOFFEE from Almond Tree Toffee across the road on the east side (look for a pink banner, bonus: they do samples). - SHRIMP CEVICHE from Da Seafood Cartel next to the mango toast. - Joja's SMASH BURGER... it's okay to have a burger for breakfast. I personally think protein is better than a bowl of Cocoa Puffs anyways ;) It's a little pricey, $18 for one burger a la carte, but you need to try it at least once in your life! - Honorable mentions: Fresh fruit bowls, mochi, BBQ skewers, pizza. TIPS & TRICKS: * If you know what you want to try, I would recommend spreading out to divide and conquer. Have each person wait in a line then come back together for a shared meal at a table, starting at Joja's Burgers (that wait is always at least 45 minutes). Then walk around together and see if there is anything else that you need to try! * Dog friendly, just be sure to pick up after your pet!

I love this Farmers Market. It's not too big, not too small, it's just right. More like a food market rather and Farmers Market. Nice variety of food booths which include many ethnic flavors. Hot sauces with a local spin from the Big Island, local fruit jams, jellies and butters, pastries, savory dishes, boba, lemonade (run by a sweet group of young people), mochi, and a top rated smash burger stand. This time around we stood in line for the pastries at Wallflour Bake Shop. Nice big sized pieces! We tried the black sesame chocolate croissant, coconut almond bear claw and more. It was yummy! We then decided to give the lemonade a try. It's not out of a pitcher. They squeeze fresh lemon into your drink. I loved the pineapple lemonade. Hubby tried the strawberry. There are two areas for this Saturday only market. I suggest you go early before the crowd builds and the air warms up. I like this better than the KCC market because they have table areas for their customers to sit and enjoy their food purchases. There is also lots of large shade trees to keep the experience cool for most of the morning Parking is available on the street and there is an unpaved lot with free parking. Our goal is, each time we visit, try something new. Why not? Everything looks and smells yummy.

Did you know that the Kaka'ako Farmers Market was actually ranked #3 'Best Farmers Market' in the nation by USA Today? Pretty impressive!This market happens rain or shine, and I loved seeing the various different vendors that offer local items.We came here on a weekend, and all the vendors were friendly and inviting; I found some great pastries as well as a delicious toffee place; you can stock up on fresh produce, treats, and/or gifts.There's also a large lot to park your vehicle, which is super convenient.+great selection of vendors+parking available

They have a little bit of everything: produce, food, local products. There's two areas with seating so you can enjoy your food. I didn't see any nearby parking other than street parking so if you can walk there I would suggest you do so. There two sections separated by the Ward Street so there's a lot of vendors.

Arrived early so found parking immediately. Place is wide open so dress appropriately. One side has trees for shade so browse the other side (no shade) first when it's cooler. If you're afraid of dogs, do not attend. Lots of cut little dogs on leashes. Many vendors with a variety of choices. Ate a apple turnover (much more fancy than the name suggests). It was delicious. The line for the smash burger was insane. Don't know if I would wait 45 mins. for an order. It must be worth the wait. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Assorted vendors make for interesting eats. Lots of tropical drinks (non alcoholic, soda and water). Lots of vegetables and plants, too. Once is enough for me, but that's just me. I'm sure folks go there most regularly (every Saturday).

Came to get lunch after snorkeling tour, In the parking lot of the harbor. They had a nice selection of fruit/veggie stands as well as ready made foods. As someone else said here, be prepared to spend some $ because it is not cheap. Went to a dim sum booth and spent $35 for a couple of dishes like pork hash (shu mai) and curry beef empanadas. Also got some fried rolls. Went to a place called Royal crown and they ran out of Acai Bowls. They did have a green juice with some guava, soft serve, and that was delectable!!!! Overall, a super cute farmers market with some variety of selections, but be prepared to spend !
