This is the best place for any seasonings when you want a taste of home! Haven’t lived on the island in years, but I always order salts and rubs from them! They sometimes throw in some sugar, or other salt in your package too! And the handwritten thank you note in my most recent delivery was so thoughtful!

Josh B from Long Beach, CA 4/20/2020

Owner of the store was friendly and spent a lot of time explaining the products and uses.

Every salt under the Hawaiian sun is here.

They take the time to walk you through all the different kinds of salt. There are many extras to see throughout the store. Shopping in the gift shop is a treat.

Really sweet little shop to swing by for locally made items to bring home as souvenirs for yourself or others. After doing some research, decided to stop in to take a look for gifts.
The lady helping us out at the shop was very friendly and let us try all the different salt blends that they have on offer. There were some really great blends, and we bought a bunch of them to bring home.
There are different sizes, and they offer discounts when you buy in bulk

Will L from Lafayette Hill, PA 6/15/2019

We had the best person help us. She had us go through every flavor we were interested in and even chased me out to the parking lot because I forgot my Ono popsicle.  I think her name was Cynthia?

We ran across this shop while driving by and visiting Kauai Cookie Factory next door. Their products are excellent. Wonderful flavors, huge variety, great quality grinders. I bought several for my home and for my extended family. Good discounts with quantity purchases, including freebies. It’s especially meaningful and a wonderful remembrance to have locally made natural product.

Susangsays From Tuscon, AZ 12/2018

We have been buying this ever since he first setup shop at the farmer’s markets. It is the best table salt replacement in the world. You will never use regular salt again.

Scott  12/1/2018

I love the Salty Wahine! The products are delicious and the helpful staff provide their guidance and expertise to make sure you leave with the perfect item!!

Diane Hacker 9/22/2017

The very nice woman who helped us just before 5 pm was friendly, service oriented and helped with  small tastes  of the items we were interested in.  She was knowledgable about the products and enthusiastic about them and about her job.

We left with more than we had planned on and know we were glad to come to your store.    

We have a small business and always appreciate someone who knows how to please customers, loves their job and enjoys their work.

Constance Johnson 6/12/2017

I called today and spoke with Jessica as we were not going to make it to Hanapepe on this visit and I needed suggestions as to other stores that carried their products.  Jessica was not only familiar with store names, but which products were carried at various locations and even offered to fill a special order that I could pick up at the local sunshine market if I was unable to find what I needed.
My family and pet sitters always look forward to gifts from Salty Wahine and they are not touristy gimmicks but quality spices for discerning chefs and grillers!

Ann B. From Fresno, CA 5/11/2017

Very helpful staff. Lots of variety. Easy to bring home. Local product. Great stop if you’re a foodie.

Loreen Quevido 12/4/2016

I used their salt as favors for my wedding, and they were an absolute hit! I had family from outer island and mainland request that I send them more, so they are great gifts.
I also tried their lilikoi sugar to make malasadas, and they were soooo delicious! Love this company, the atmosphere and the people who work in the front are always helpful and friendly!

Kristi R. From Honolulu, HI 11/23/2016

All their salt/rubs are Kaua’i made. Outstanding selection of different varieties of salts and rubs. They will also ship your purchases stateside. Also if you are active or retired military, you can receive a free bag of salt. Recommend stopping by for your salt needs.

SoCalOregonian From Murrieta, CA 11/2016

Amazing people

Aditi Stout 10/8/2016

Stopped by to grab some of the salt/spice blends to share with family and friends. They offer gift sets as well as individual items and discounts for purchasing more than 3. The woman working there was very helpful without being pushy. A quick and easy stop for locally made items.

Review_Fanatic From CO 09/2016

The guy working the booth was super personable.  I imagine product could sell itself but he went far and beyond to make the sale.  And this is rare, but i left feeling good about a purchase.

thanks

This was an interesting and tasty stop. This family run business offers many salt blends for many dishes. They are helpful and informative. We returned home with several blends and have already enjoyed using them in several dishes. If you are out on the west side, it is worth a visit

Joybh 08/2015

Salts galore!! I bookmarked this place when I went to Kauai and I am so happy that I did.  Super friendly and great assortment.  This place is a great souvenir gift for anyone to use in the kitchen.  Spices, salts and sugars all to take home and remind your time in Kauai.

Jass T. Los Angeles, CA 8/22/2015

We stopped here on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised by the selection, quality, and service!  Despite the fact it’s in an unassuming warehouse and the indoor decor is very bare, the products themselves are legit.  We decided to go with three of their salts (the alaea “red” salt, kiawe smoke mesquite salt, and the black lava salt), but between all of their spice rubs and other inventory, we easily could have gone crazy in this place.  The employee was also very sweet and gave us some recipe ideas.  If you love cooking or you are in need of souvenirs, make sure you check this place out.

Cat P. From Philadelphia, PA 3/6/2015

We love the Hawaiian Rub & Guava garlic. I wish I would have purchased all flavors when I was in Hi, but don’t worry they deliver! Ordered December 11th for a holiday gift, and the order arrived in Seattle December 15th. Talk about fast! In addition to the the fast delivery, they wrote a hand written note on my invoice, thanking me for my order. Wow!  Thank you for sending me my delicious spices and some Aloha spirit. Great customer service Amazing products! Mahalo.
