Kauai Sweet Shoppe

From the outside it looks like a nice little home-style sweet shop. It’s quite small inside with a lonely attendant selling a very small selection of caramels. The sweets are delicious though. Don’t go with much expectation but grab a tasty bag of caramels. Free samples.

Yummy caramels with some having island flavors like pineapple and guava. We got sea salt and guava and they are so yummy. The shop is so cute. Plenty of free parking in a parking lot. However, there is no ramp for wheelchair accessibility. Free samples are given for any of their caramel flavors. Located in the Kilohana Plantation.

The caramels are fantastic but the service was subpar. We walked into the shop and were met with dead silence from the person working the shop. Outside a sign says you can sample locally made candies however inside there are no signs about samples and as we were talking about the caramels and which sounded good not once did the shop keeper offer us anything to try. I would have asked about a sample but it felt awkward and it wasn't until we walked out, I confirmed that the writing was on the sign and it wasn't in my head. We almost didn't buy anything at all and only did because we had heard how good the caramels were. I get we all need jobs and customer service jobs suck but having worked them myself it doesn't take much to do the bare minimum.

I love that day preserved the old plantation & made a lot of little shops in the different outbuildings. The main building is the Gaylord's restaurant. As soon as you get off the main road, you feel like you Step the 100 years back, if not more, Into real Plantation in the middle of a jungle.

Coconut Caramel and Coffee flavors are the best! We can try samplers and pick your choice.
