Ko'olau Snack Shop

The store is located to the left of Times, in the corner. Plenty of parking and a beautiful view of the mountains. That's the only reason I gave 2 stars. Customer service is terrible. I'll explain later. Before we even went to the location, we yelped it. We saw they had Açaí bowls and shaved ice. When we walked up to the store, the front window had all the items that was "available." I'll post the picture. When we walked in, we asked the older man if we could have 2 Açaí bowls. He yelled and said it's not açaí bowls, it's only the bottom part...NO FRUITS! My daughter pointed at the picture that had an açaí with fruit, right behind the old man. He said no fruits!! Ok fine, so we are still getting charged $8.60 for a medium size cup of only the açaí and no fruits? That's pretty expensive. Even the very best açaí bowls with fruit aren't that much!!! So we decided on the shaved ice, he said we don't sell shaved ice here! Now I'm really confused. Maybe they use too. But all the Yelpers/customers had pictures of shaved ice and açaí bowls. Our 4 girls decided on the ice cream that was in the deep freezer by register. The older lady kept shutting the freezer door on my girls because they took too long to decide. It's not like the ice cream was going to melt in 30 seconds, but whatever. Never again will I come here! The pictures I posted are of the front windows. Each picture, I zoomed in closer so you can finally see the "sign" that says no açaí bowls! I circles it in red. They definitely need to update pictures inside and out as well as the yelp account.

This is a cute little snack shop located in Kaneohe next to the DMV. Honestly I'm never out in this neck of the woods, but my daughter was trying to get her drivers permit which was delayed several months due to COVID-19.Anyway, I digress. The snack shop looks like it has quite a variety of treats, but the actual shop is closed and you can only buy things through a window now. I get it since the owners are older and don't wanna get sick from people coming into their tiny shop.Anyway, it was such a hot day and we're at the DMV for literally three hours. I ended up buying bubble tea. I purchased the regular milk tea which was delicious and a much thicker consistency than I was used to having. More like a smoothie than a water down drink. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely come back to get another bubble tea if I'm back in this neck of the woods!

I literally feel like a kid in a candy shop when I'm there. A big selection of treats. Love the boba drinks

It was okay. Had the mango smoothie w/boba and a lychee smoothie w/boba. The boba was hard and not very fresh. It's a small mom and pop store and they are super nice and a cute store, but I don't think I will be returning.

Smoothies are pricey but the acai & the pitaya I know for sure are made from the actual frozen fruit. They use just the right amount of sugar, not too much. And I love how they tie the napkin around the cup. I call it their signature napkin tie. Very tasty & refreshing ! The couple are friendly & always nice.

Now that I live on the Windward Side of Oahu, I'm appreciating Ko'olau Center more! It's very close to Windward Mall - just a few minutes' drive on Kahekili Highway and you're there! It's across from the entrance to Valley of the Temples and Kyoto-In Temple. Just look for McDonald's, turn in to Hui Iwa Street, and turn left. Times Grocery Store will be on your right. Consolidated Theater will be straight in front of you.There's also a karaoke place, a Driver's License office, Subway, Ninja Sushi, Chinese Food, and Times Coffee Shop. Other businesses include a nail salon, Hina Mauka and a dialysis center.There's a great variety of shops here. The only drawback might be the access. Kahekili Highway is a bottleneck since there's only one lane of traffic each way. Just avoid the going home rush and you'll be fine!

This little neighborhood shopping Strip Mall can be decieving, but it actually has quite a few shops that should suit your amenities. The 2 anchors is Times Market, which convenient if you live in the Koolau, Ahuimanu, Kahaauu area and you don't want to drive to Safeway.I do like their local produce,and their wine is Fujioka's. It does lack in the meat and bakery department and specialty items. Entertaiment-We also prefer to see movies at our Consolidated 10 Theaters because it's never crowded. For Beauty-They have a Supercuts for hair, Koolau Nails and Wellness Center that has massages, yoga, Zumba and JuJitsu classes.My dentist Dr. Brown has been there for the last 12 years I've been here, and more.Food- For breakast, they have Time's Restaurant, local food, L & L Drive-in and Pakele's. The Temple Valley Chinese Restaurant & Ninja Sushi for Asian, Subway and McDonald's for a quick fix, Koolau Snack shop for goodies, and the ever so popular Steak & Chicken & Garlic Shrimp plates at Time's every Saurday and Sunday.Even food for your pet's at Eastside Supply Pet food.And if you need a new Driver's liscence or take a test, they have the least crowded DMV on the island!So next time you pass by, drive in and see what fancys your palate!

Arrived at 10:30 am after not being able to find anyplace open serving acai. The man working advised they only make acai smoothies not bowls, and that the person who makes them doesn't come in until 12pm. Otherwise its just a small convenience store carrying the usual packaged snacks etc.

No shaved ice Not easy to find Is it by the grocery? It does t seem like it. When you put shaved ice in it directs you to this shop.

The best snack shop on the windward side!!! I grew up going here all the time and mr & Mrs Lee basically saw me grow up! They have the best snacks and bubble tea and icee floats (get it w li hing powder and juice, da buggah is ono). I moved to Washington and been homesick so I've ordered online from their shop and they even gave me a few extra bags of snacks! I miss living up the road from this place the sweetest snacks and even sweeter owners!!!
