South Shore Market

We went to shop at TJMax, but happened upon a pet event they were having that weekend. What a fun experience. So many dogs of all sizes and breeds. There were venders there with all kinds of stuff from treats to outfits and behavior help. It was a delightful event to attend.

NOTE: Pictures are from areas of SALT of Kakaako...will need to move and update my edits. Nice place for the family to visit..places to eat, drinks, treats...if you feel like an adventure, stroll around the blocks around and look for the wall arts by Pow Wow.

Definitely more upscale in feel and Millennial in vibe than any other mall in a reasonable radius, besting Ala Moana in its upscale and comfortable feel. Why? Yeah, the usual TJ Maxx but better maintained, and no Chanel/Ferragamo/Apple, but:
-beautiful living walls
-clean community tables
-covered outdoor tables with views
-clean water features
-WiFi that works
-electrical outlets/charging stations near tables
-climate control (TIP: sit at the table near Big Bad Wolf; there are two outlets in the floor. Or sit at the community table by the large indoor mural and there are many outlets in the pillar. Or sit in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for outlets. Or at the entrance for the parking structure, near the living wall, there are also outlets there & usually a table there; sometimes it is moved to care for the living wall.)
-local rotating art installations (thank you, Pow! Wow! & Big Bad Wolf)
-emphasis on Native Hawaiian-owned businesses & goods
-a gourmet hand-mixed ice cream shop that quietly donates a part of its proceeds to support cancer research (Lucy's Lab? Yep, Lucy is the founder's family member. Ask them about it.)
-curated boutiques by small local companies, local coffee shops
-local-owned restaurants (Scratch! Yes, you guys!)
-health food bars that sell locally-produced goods (Shaka Tea from the Big Island at Nalu!), reducing your carbon footprint, helping you live longer, and supporting your friendly neighborhood farmer all at once!

For the old school folks looking to grab and go, there is also Holo Holo Market selling Foodland poke bowls at the same Foodland prices (right next to the Coffee Bean, another Foodland company) with bento and musubi also at VERY reasonable prices ($7 poke bowls; $2.19 musubi, $2-5 large Deli sandwiches, $6-8 full-size bento, $1-3 gourmet large can drinks, etc.) for this location.

Super clean bathrooms with hard-working folks turning the room over regularly.

Water fountains with water bottle adjustments so you can fit your entire water bottle under there, with a filter indicator.

Ground floor parking has Reserved stalls for electric vehicle users with chargers. Love this! Ample handicapped parking.

Free covered parking that is monitored closely by security. Do not be surprised if they chalk your tires to ensure that you are there to shop and not just homesteading or a nearby condo resident using the facility is parking. I like that actually - - no break-ins and no cars left there for weeks.

Stairwells are clearly marked, and frequently used. Stairwells are clean and well-lighted.

Several elevators--a set by parking & another on building itself. The large elevators, especially those on the building itself, are a joy for disabled/mobility-impaired folks or strollers. No squeezing and feeling super awkward if you have a double stroller! Excellent!

Family-friendly, low-drama. Everyone from safety-shirt guys to college students to retiree tourists to yoga folks with mats to young families all strollered up. Something for everyone, and a favorite place of ours.

Nice tidy place go. There are Coffee Beans, restaurants, TJ Maxx, Nordtrom Rack, beer place, etc. The parking can be challenging at busy hours though.

Great Place To Shop For Clothes And Things For Your House And More!!!

Did lots xmas shopping and dining, great time

Cashier has great customer service I will come again

Great choice of beer, staff was awesome, and the food was good. Love this concept and atmosphere of this place. I will be back again.

We love the Nordstrom Rack, a discounte outlet for the NordStron stores. Prices ar e great and so too are the selection of goods. The store occupies a large two story building that feels spacious.

Great selection. Love the fresh made food and healthy choices. Wish we had them here. Gives a whole new meaning to convenience store food!

The new Whole Foods was awesome. I've really avoided shopping there thinking it was expensive, but today bought a lot of fresh fruit. With the Whole Foods app, I saved about 20% off the total bill. Their produce was the best I've seen in a long time.

I was impressed with the service at this establishment - the staff was friendly and attentive, and my water glass was refilled quickly and consistently throughout my meal.

Neat shopping area with food and drink shops. Set up if shops and eateries is really nice.

I read Market and instantly thought of fresh fruit and vegetables. Apparently, Market and Farmers Market are two different things and I learned something today. Anyways, this is a great place to pick up a unique gift for that special someone. And, there are cookie dough milkshakes. Do I need to say more?

Love the variety of small businesses inside it. They also have Coffee Bean. Got their iced peach passion tea. Really good!

Love the workers! Love the products! Parking is right across the way. Everything is conveniently located so you can walk to each different area and the selection is outstanding.

Great place to get what you need, awesome environment.

Went here mid afternoon with my wife and mother in law. It was fairly empty at the time with only a few other groups. However, after 1 hour, the entire place was packed! Guess we got lucky.

I ordered their special of the day which was an 8 oz Filet Mignon, potates, and chimchurri sauce. It was delicious.
Wife got the burger which was also fairly good. They do load up on the potatoes and it was more than what she could eat.

Warning! At this time, they do not serve rice. So if you're a normal Hawaii person who likes rice, keep that in mind. I usually love rice but settled with the potatoes.

Service was good, staff nice, water was refilled very quickly.

Wow! if you haven't been into the South Shore Market yet, you are in for a treat! Lots of fun local shops! I find something unique every time I go in here and the ice cream shop is to live for!

I absolute love the South Shore Market. It has so many boutique stores.
The merchandise has so much inventive energy and thoughtfulness to them. Sometimes, I wish I can join them to make things instead of just buying the already made.
