Keaukaha General Store - Hilo

This is a fantastic spot for all your day trip essentials. They offer freshly made sandwiches, a wide variety of drinks, chips, dips, and canned goods, along with trail bars and chocolate. If you're looking for souvenirs, they also have T-shirts and postcards available. It's a perfect place to kick off your day!

As for the staff, I really appreciate the employees. Update from 12/5/17: I visit this store daily for my spam musubi fix, usually buying two or more. My daughters and I have started to notice a consistent size and flavor in the spam musubi, which is fantastic. I want to thank the owner for being responsive to customer feedback and suggestions! Beyond the spam musubi, the staff is always friendly, courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. I'm grateful that they hire people who understand our community and its surroundings!

KGS offers a wonderfully friendly atmosphere where you can grab a bite to eat, enjoy a drink, and even pick up last-minute gifts for that special someone. I found it incredibly convenient to grab a card to write in, along with a lovely pair of earrings. My family loves to visit after church for a meal at the tables, admiring the fun paddling pictures on the walls while meeting friendly people coming in and out of KGS. The staff is fantastic, and the music creates a really cool vibe! This past Sunday, my brother was thrilled to discover that they sell 32oz Kalapana-made Noni juice for just ten dollars—what a great deal! (He had spent $17 the day before for a smaller amount.) That's just one more reason why I give KGS a five-star rating. Their prices are truly affordable for the community. Mahalo, KGS!

Great spot! They have a wonderful selection of beers, and you can enjoy chips, salsa, and other snacks. The service team is fantastic, and it's just a short walk from the cruise port.

The best musubi spam here! We tried and came back in different places. The best!
