Maui - the Valley Isle

To us the charm of Hawaii can be found in the small towns that people pass through on their way to Haleakala and the Hana Highway, tucked away in the back of strip malls and off the main streets. Here you find the people who love The Hawaiian Islands for their soul.

We ran into these friendly folks at the Craft Fair in Kihei (Sundays). The flavors of coatings on the macadamia and almonds made choices difficult! I don't know where else you can find these but they are worth the hunt.

Tea and Coffee Factory

They use only Maui grown coffee beans at this time, unfortunately coffee won't be harvested on Maui much longer. They will start using beans from Molokai, which is in the same county but a different island. The packaging on all of their products uses art from locals and can be framed. We saw them at the Kihei Craft Fair - Sundays 9 to 4.

ABC Stores
Everywhere
We don't normally list large chain stores but sometimes you just have to make exceptions. These stores have lots of generic-type souvenirs, don't expect handmade or unique here, but if you have to take something to everyone you know you can shop here and not spend your whole budget.
