This Farmers Market is a little smaller than I thought. It is a popular place on visitor's guide. Morning summer weather is nice. Food and drinks are good. It is more than a food place than a farmers market. The prices of fruits are much higher than on the market in my opinion. It is worth to try the foods and drinks here. Parking might be easier if you try parking lots on the far side. It is not a bad idea to drop by diamond heads look out 5 mins away. Reservation is required if u want to go further to the crater.

This farmers market is very popular and offers a wide variety of local and international food options, including Argentinian, Vietnamese, and Japanese treats. It’s a pet-friendly space, perfect for spending quality time with your loved ones while supporting local vendors. Most sellers accept cash only, but there’s an ATM near the entrance and another one on the community college campus. Parking can be a bit tricky, so arriving early is recommended. I really enjoyed the fresh and delicious açaí bowl, and also picked up some beautiful flowers and organic vegetables.

Located at the community college, it is easily accessed by bus or car. The market is an early one but very busy. Fresh flowers, fruits, and artisan foods are plentiful. I recommend a quick pass through ( almost 100 vendors) and see what is there before buying. Just 15 min from motel row in Wakiki by city bus and only $6.00 round trip. Buy you breakfast, some fruit for lunch and be enjoying the beach by 1pm.

It was a long walk and mostly up hill from Waikiki. Most vendors were food tents selling cooked food, juices, deserts, açaí bowls, noodles, rice, etc. There were only a few tents selling actual produce locally grown. The rest of the handful of tents selling produce, looked like it was from Sam’s Club separated and marked up with a higher price, and you could save by walking over to buy from Sam’s itself. The market itself was set up & located in a very pretty & peaceful park area. (Also, there are no restrooms available on the way there at any of the businesses, no restrooms at the Farmers Market, and none on the way back) I wouldn’t make the trip again and would have chosen another activity if I had free time.

Foodie heaven. Good selection of street food. My preference is savory so I headed for empanadas, sausages, the pig and the lady banh mi and shrimp roll stands. Also saw the Hawaiian fruit stand where you got a variety of tropical fruit like pineapple, mango, egg fruit, star apple etc for a very reasonable price. Sausages are also very good.

Love this farmer market place so much. So many fresh fruits and vegetables to buy for home. All the people are so friendly. I love Açaí from the LA Tour BakeHouse very much and I can find lots of exotic Asian veggies like Thai chilies, limes, daikon. There are some interesting local honey to try too. I will definitely make a regularly visit every Saturday!

Cute and small market in the heart of Waikiki. There are a variety of different stalls, and if you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a visit. We bought fruits and vegetables from one of the stands great quality at a very fair price!

KCC Farmers Market has over 40 vendors ranging from fresh produce, fresh flowers, to Acai bowls, fresh squeezed lemonades, homemade pickles, and other local food vendors. Definitely come out to support our local small businesses and enjoy some good food. Cops are actively guiding traffic flow so traffic is constantly moving. Lots of parking available on KCC campus. They do have a mobile ATM set up in case you need cash. Free parking and free entry to the KCC Farmers market. Also take a walk around the area as KCC campus is home to a lot of different species of plants and cactus. What a beautiful campus.

When I'm on the island on a Saturday, I like to walk from Waikiki to KCC, but this time we drove. Parking was relatively easy. It is moderately busy and there were many the usual vendors I've seen around and some new ones. We tried the corn stand, the sugar cane stand and Boba Bros this time around. However we always like to try something new each time. Casual. Please come and create your own experience.

KCC farmers market is only open on Saturday morning till about 11am. I wish they stayed open just a little longer like 12pm so theres a little more wiggle room to go especially if you're not much of a morning person. Between the two saturday markets - this one has the most veggies available and it's a lot more cheaper than the Kakaako one. I like to go to this one instead because of that. I think the food options are better at Kakaako, but KCC has a few good food options too. You can bring your dog with you now. It was not allowed before. Keep in mind that it is really hot so you want to be aware of their feet burning and hydration. It's also very crowded, so it's not ideal for a small dog unless you carry them or have them in a stroller. One lucky Saturday we were approached by a traveling photographer - Justin Veenema! How lucky of Simba to be spotted and photographed! I almost regretted bringing him to the market that day since it was so hot and i had to carry him everywhere. Most people who come here are tourists but there are a few locals that show up too. the good thing is that theres lots of parking (some stalls are smaller than others) and police officers to direct traffic because it gets really crazy! During peak hours there will be lots of people and it'll be hard to move around.

Finally had a chance to check out KCC Farmers Market this past Saturday! TIP: bring some cash as some vendors only take cash. If you forget there is an ATM in the front. Plenty of parking, family friendly, dog friendly, atmosphere and wonderful vendors. Mostly good and drink vendors but there are also plants and a few crafts. Everything was delicious and good variety of products.

A local mentioned that this is one of the best farmers' markets in Honolulu. Located near Diamond Head, it attracts quite a crowd of tourists. The market features around 25-30 vendors, including fruit and vegetable farmers and food stands. Some food items can be pricey, like $10 for a cup of sugarcane juice or elote. Fruits and veggies seem more reasonable. Despite the crowds, parking is plentiful. It's a nice spot to explore if you're in the area.

I enjoy going to the KCC Farmers Market because it's less crowded compared the one at Kakaako. Some of my favorite vendors like The Pig & the Lady and Pacifikool are always there but they both have long lines. I go around 10AM and this is when most people are leaving. If you go later in the morning, the weather gets warmer/hotter so it's not as fun to stand in some of the lines. There are a lot of different vendors selling locally grown fruits and vegetables. I will walk around and check out a few vendors to see who has the better quality stuff and the reasonable prices before making my purchase. I recommend bringing cash since some vendors will charge you for the card processing fee. For parking, there is ample free parking in the KCC parking lot. It's better to enter the parking lot from the Diamond Head Theatre side since there's less people trying to cross and go to the farmers market.

I have to come here whenever I'm visiting Oahu. I usually get the same things, the elote, empanadas, takoyaki and the ginger coolers all top notch eats. The Brazilian pao de queijo cheesey chewy round ball is also a winner, get it stuffed with the guava jam. The parking is plenty actually so don't be intimidated by the crowds, the cops are there to facilitate traffic which makes everything go butter smooth. We usually go at 9:30am and my strategy is, if you see a stand with a lot of people just skip and come back to it later, simple. The vendors get busy in small bursts, so just wait and swing back around. There are bathrooms and garbage bins all around. Wear a hat and sunscreen up, it can get warm out there. Enjoy my friends!!

Love KCC, but gets very crowded and prefer the vendors at Kakaaoko. Some of my favorites here: - Pig and the Lady - love the pho and that I don't have to trek all the way to downtown for a bowl. - Acai bowl (at the Japanese place?) - They offer unlimited toppings but we actually didn't take advantage of this benefit (flax, chia seeds, coconut flakes, dried cranberries, nuts...), except for the fruit and a little granola. Love that they offer different bases (acai vs strawberry/banana, vs other seasonal offerings. - Akaka Jams - So good, trust me! - Strawberry mochi (most places serve with Azuki but they offer this plain or with chocolate)

The farmers market was definitely smaller than I expected! Though I want to comment that i came here late in the morning and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to find parking!

The KCC Farmers Market is a busy place to be on Saturday mornings. I'm guessing there were about 50 vendors selling food, produce and flowers. The majority of the food vendors were selling Asian Fusion plates, but there were a couple Mexican, coffee and misc. vendors as well. The produce looked great-fresh and local. I bought fresh apple bananas and okra. Prices are higher than other farmers markets in Hawaii, but less than grocery stores. The tropical flowers were lovely and fair prices. I picked up a couple herb plants. The vendors are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there is no place to sit. There is parking, but not a bad walk from Diamond Head area. Restroom facilities are a hike uphill. Be sure to bring you own bags.

Ono kettle pop is one of the most amazing popcorn I have eaten It brings back the memories of the sweet popcorn in the movie theater that used to be popped right there and sweetened However, make sure that you call it rainbow popcorn because it's not called sweet popcorn. There are some variety, including caramel, hurricane, sweet and salty rainbow, and some Hawaiian varieties. I bought four and got one free and felt so lucky. I am still munching on it every day. I think I will share some with others. Flavor is well balanced, and the salt is just right. The caramel popcorn might also go good with beer. The owner is busy with the proper but has time to show you what he has.It's good to see it being made and know that it's really fresh and wasn't sitting on the shelf.

I stumbled on to KCC when I was looking for the Diamond Head Theater. Parking was ok because a number of people were leaving. I guess it closes earlier than some of the others, but I was able to get in and get coffee from one of my favorite stands, Aikane. I found them at the Made in Hawaii festival and was happy they were here. I can see why some people may be annoyed, but it's a farmers' market. I do agree they close too early! Mahalo!

It's the biggest Farmer's Market in all of Hawaii. It's also the most touristy (not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you're not into buying groceries). It does vary from time to time (i recall once i got grilled big headed shrimp and pineapple juice from a pineapple, last time i went they didn't have those). It can get crowded, things can be pricey, and hard to find a spot to sit down and eat. Otherwise, it's a good experience and a good way to find some local made things.

My OG Farmers Market After a brisk morning hike up Diamond Head me and my besties would head right over to Kapiolani Community Collage Farmers Market as it's just right across the street...just seeing all the tents filled with various tenants is a bright and fun experience. A great ritual we'd do on the regular after a nice bit of exercise making that reward even more tastier especially when it's enjoyed along with friends. Many of that memory still holds dear to me and to see some of the same vendors like Kukui Sausage Co. is still here in the same exact spot you know I had to get my fix and though many are the same what I thought was new is the Gyoza Sausage which tastes exactly like the filling...yum! Among others that are new (in my experience since it's been years) is Veggie Dogs, Ko Farms, Pacifkool which I've been fortunate to try their amazing fresh Ginger Ale & Mocktails, Small Kine Farm where I got the Trio Plate and even some flowers for the alter. Parking here is the biggest challenge as there's never enough for the volume that passes through here but come bright and early because it's absolutely worth and I'm so happy to enjoy this first thing in the morning. Thank you!

One of favorite farmers makers on Oahu. Wish it was a local to be able to take home the cut flowers. The vendors seem to change as I was looking for my fav cookie vendor who wasn't there and only comes every other week. Arrived around 7:45 am and it was already so busy! A great place for produce, eats, and people watching!

The Pasta Guy's food is awesome!! Very delicious! Some items on his sign said "sold out", but I asked him, and he was able to make a sold out item anyways, so it's worth asking. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

This is a farmers market that offers a variety of foods, vegetables, drinks. It is fun to walk around and see the different vendors. Ample parking in KCC community College. Bring a shopping bag as you most likely will buy different fruits and vegetables. Today we tried the Italian pasta, the owner is from Italy and makes everything from scratch! It's a big portion of pasta and came with 3 large slices of bread. It's enough for 2-3 people and it certainly was satisfying !

Great place to try new foods & drinks, there's also fresh produce much cheaper than at the stores. I love getting acai bowls, sausages & produce at the market. Make sure to get there EARLY or good luck finding parking. Also it gets packed from 8-9am before or after is not too bad. Usually if there isn't parking at the lot you can find some at the dog park down the road or across the street in neighborhoods. Also there is very limited seating, usually people sit on curbs, benches or bring chairs & towels to lay on the grass. Fun place to spend a Saturday, just come prepared!

Love love love this place! This is one of the best Farmers' Market we have been to! The bus ride from our hotel was quick and they drop you off right by the entrance. There is so much to see and try. They have so many unique eats that you don't see at normal farmers market! Our favorites would be the fried mochi and the abalone with different flavor sauces! The abalone was so fresh and flavorful! I would come back here again when I'm in Honolulu!

This is my first trip to the well know KCC Farmers Market. It was an eye opener. I cannot recommend any particular food vendor because there are so many. They have a varied selection of foods, fresh produce highlight locally sourced and items presented also came from other parts of the islands. It is well run, highly popular (almost too popular) with tourists mixed in with local people maneuvering their way through a large crowd. I would recommend that you come early, they are opened on Saturdays only from 7:30am-11am. There is a local bus line for public transportation very close to the market. Bring a hat, apply sunscreen before coming, wear something comfortable for walking and the heat. Reusable grocery bags are helpful and patience for long lines! The crowd is generally chill with onlookers, picture takers or shoppers. Local entertainment is provided, traffic guards monitor the flow of humanity and to prevent walkers from a close encounter with a car bumper! If you don't mind crowds, willing to try different cuisines and flavors, find unique items to bring back home or just fresh organic ingredients to prepare for a home cooked meal, this would be the place to check out. Prices may be on the higher side but there are several other local farmers markets available. Buy fresh, buy local!

Oh my goodness, this farmers market was so fun!!! I loved most of the things I purchased. The handmade fruit stuff mochi stand (I think it's called Strawberry Mochi) - expensive but worth every penny!!! 4 for $22.50 I believe. It's the softest mochi that you'll ever have tasted. Manoa Honey - they have a rum barrel flavor that was super interesting, would be amazing in parfaits m, açaí bowls, etc Little hands - we bought the tinted face stick, so good! It blends like a tint, almost feels like it dries on your face, barely any scent, the owner still makes everything by hand and the packaging is all recyclable. Must try! Pao de queijo - standalone the original wasn't great, nothing close to the ones I've had in Brazil. But the little sandwiches were the perfect breakfast snack! Butter Mochi - I didn't eat mine until 3 days later, had to microwave it to get the chewy texture back or else it's grainy.... It was okay not the best I've had. Fruit stands - I went to several, ended up buying some mangosteen and the man was right, they were all ready to eat, so sweet and tart!!! I forgot the name of the stand - they served steak, shrimp over pasta, etc. We got the creamy shrimp over rice, it was okay, not great. Macadamia nut stand - the cacao and coffee flavor is so good!!! Not too sweet and regret that I didn't buy more!! =( she was also sold out of the honey glaze, I'm hoping next time she will make a salted honey glaze, I think that sounds amazing lol Highly recommend going!

So many food and drink options at kcc farmers market. Parking can be a PAIN especially as it gets later in the day. I wish it was open for longer on saturdays. It's only open from 7:30-11:00 AM. My favorite vendor is the sugarcane juice stand.

It's been at least a few years since I've been here and it was great to see so many new businesses. A great mix of fresh veggies, flowers, food, drinks, dessert, baked goods, skin care, gifts, etc... I'm assuming this is the biggest farmers' market in Hawaii. At 8:00 in the morning it was full of people but wasn't so crowded that you had to stand in long lines or brush elbows with strangers. I also found parking easily in the lot which was being directed by a traffic cop for better flow. I felt like a kid in a candy store and started buying things at the first stand I entered. Forgot to take note of the actual name so I'll call him The Tomato Guy . Basically he was mostly selling Kamuela tomatoes for $3.50 /lb. On the side he had small batch of Lomi salmon, salsa (mild and spicy) and the flakiest, crispiest chips. After sampling them I could not resist. My next stop was Bale Bakery for my cranberry walnut bread. I was surprised and delighted to spy a sign claiming to have the #1 Lobster rolls from Feast which I have been wanting to try since before Covid. At $30 for a full roll, and $11 for a mini (one third) they should! I decided to indulge myself and bought a mini for breakfast. I have to say it was one of the better ones I've had. Fresh sweet lobster meat with just the right amount of sauce, not too much mayo or fillers like cheaper versions I've had. It comes on a sweet bread roll that had the right amount of sweetness (not too much) and texture. It came with a lemon wedge to brighten the flavor. Yum ! I guess I will need to wake up earlier on Saturday mornings so I can return.

I am a huge advocate for supporting local vendors, so this place is a goldmine! They have a ton of food vendors and produce stalls, so there's something for everyone. Note that the one of the smoothie vendors is disorganized and takes forever to prepare drinks - stay nearby and make sure you get your drink! I also tried butterfish that was cooked in banana leaves and WOW - SO TENDER, FLAKY, AND RICH IN FLAVOR. Be open-minded and come with a strong appetite!

I'm always looking for new farmer's markets on Saturday mornings. Found this one on Yelp. The directions took us to the Kapi'oloni Community College. It's pretty close to Waikiki. We drove around and saw the white tents set up. We later found out the exact location was parking lot C. We got there right when it opened at 7:30am. They was plenty of parking spots. People were already lined up at the entrance. There was a coffee truck that made espressos and regular coffee. Best latte that I I had on the Island. Wasn't watery like all the other places I visited. There was a cool sugarcane cart there also. Lots of vegetables, fruits, foods, plants etc. Really enjoyed walking around and checking out all the small business. I also got a smoothie from another vendor. Prices were fair and the drinks were good. Definitely would recommend and will come back. Love the Park environment.

There's a large parking lot with free parking, but be sure to arrive early in your day as spots can and will fill up fast! You'll notice a line formed of people waiting to get inside. Have your card and definitely keep cash on hand as some vendors only accept cash or vice versa. On hot sunny days, wear sunscreen, bring a hat, and dress comfortably. Bring something to carry your products in - a basket, tote bag, reusable bags, carts, or backpacks. These will be helpful to have if you end up buying more than you can carry. Upon walking into the farmer's market, there was a coffee and sugar cane juice stand which I can appreciate since I'm sure people were thirsty. I really wanted coffee, but I decided to walk around first to see what else was around and picked up an açaí smoothie instead and picked up the sugar cane juice on my way out. You will come across many different vendors. I'd say that the area itself is not big where I would probably recommend doing an entire lap around and browse the little pockets before making your final decisions. Some vendors are similar and might offer varied pricing or offer different sizes for the same product. The fruit and vegetables all looked fresh and great in color. There are a variety of areas to find baked goods, hot food, refreshing beverages, healthy snacks, homemade products, and plants for your private in-home nursery. Once you have all of your foods and drinks, there was a lot of open space where we were able to just pull aside and chow down. The wait for the made to order spots never took long to receive and the vendors are all very humble. If I were a local, I would definitely be leaving with some fresh fruits, veggies, plants, stock up on jars of pickled veggies, and get a new bottle of honey. Did I mention that the flowers all looked absolutely vibrant in color? I wish I could have brought some with me, but I wouldn't have been able to enjoy them to the fullest. Another suggestion is to go with a group or another person who also wants to possibly share food, that way you can both try a bunch of different things. Just thinking about this place makes me want to go back!

I love this market. I love getting smoothies from the smoothie stand that sells coconuts to drink out of , and their cocoa bliss smoothie. I also get fresh abalone every time I come. With butter garlic. Excellent. I also get shrimp on rice/pasta with the shrimp already peeled, and it comes with mushrooms. Delicious! There's also a wonderful tea stand with really special herbal tea. Makes me happy every time I come here.

We stopped by KCC Farmers' Market just to check things out while on vacation. I was so impressed by the variety of food stalls they had to offer here! Come on an empty stomach because everything looked SO tasty lol It's located at a community college which makes for a large venue with little to no worry when it comes to parking. Even though we weren't able to purchase 80% of things because we wouldn't be able to take them home, walking around was just as fun because there were so many businesses to explore and try. They have tons of fresh fruit and vegetable offers and hot foods available. I'd recommend the Kukui sausages and the peaberry coffee stall if you'd like a coffee souvenir!

Farmers' Market at Kapiolani Community College (KCC) in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii... When my friends from Los Angeles said that they wanted to go to the KCC Farmers Market, I was thinking: Oh no! The crowds, the traffic, the lack of parking - because it fills up, and the far walk back to the car (because we didn't arrive before 7:30am) were images in my mind from memories of my visit to the KCC Farmers' Market many years ago. (Some residents say that this is a tourist trap...) I couldn't disappoint the guys, so, I said that I'll pick them up at 7am. They negotiated and asked for a 7:15am pick up time... LOL! On the way to the KCC Farmers'Market, I drove past the Kaka'ako Farmers' Market to show them that if they can walk to Ala Moana Center, they just have to walk a few more blocks and go to this Farmers'Market. Haha! An educational moment! When we got to the KCC Farmers' Market, the guys were overwhelmed by the amount of people walking towards the entrance. Some people were dropped off at the front while others were coming from the bus stop. We asked the police officer if we could park closer because one of us has an ADA placard. Yes! They moved the barrier and let us into the parking lot in the back. Yay! We went up and down every aisle and saw fresh fruit and produce, pet goodies, mineral sunscreen, some live plants and cut flowers, but mostly food such as cookies, freshly pressed sugar cane juice, pastries, bottles of jam, local tea, and ready to eat meals. My friend got a shrimp pasta dish - he said it was such a great deal - and the other guy got a tasty kale smoothie (he said he needed some greens). I got a medium sized Acai Bowl with ALL toppings (chia seeds, gogi berry, etc.) and ALL fresh fruits (blueberry, strawberry, and pineapple)! It was filling and delicious! I also got an elote bowl with avocado and bacon... Yummy! We all left full and happy! Tips: come early! It gets hot later! Enjoy the live music! Bring your own packages! Note: I saw my cousin who walks here every Saturday from her house to get the spaetzle (German pasta - like mochi balls) from Little Sparrow!

Ya know, I've never been to a Farmer's Market before until a few months ago when I was in Enchanted Lakes checkin' out Maui Mike's Fire Roasted Chicken. Upon heading out to the strip mall where Maui Mike's was, I noticed a small Farmer's Market just next door. Unfortunately for me, by the time I went to check out the Farmer's Market, they were starting to close up shop, so I told my friend that one day we should come back here to check out this particular Farmer's Market in Kailua/Enchanted Lakes. So far I haven't made it back to the Farmer's Market in Kailua/Enchanted Lakes, but it's no loss because this weekend I probably went to da BESTEST Farmer's Market on Oahu - which is located at KCC - Kapiolani Community College in the Diamond Head/Kapahulu neighborhood. I think this particular Farmer's Market is sponsored by the Hawaii Farm Bureau, as it promotes locally grown farm items like fresh fruits, vegetables, & flowers. Hungry? Not to worry, as I also noticed a lot of food vendors here, as they sold various types of ethnic foods, baked goods, & drinks like coffee and smoothies. The KCC Farmer's Market is held here every Saturday from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM (see my pic of the KCC Farmer's Market sign). As a bonus, there is a lot of free parking to get to this market, but on the down side, since this Farmer's Market is so popular, getting in/out of the parking lot can be a bit challenging, as it's super crowded. Support small locally owned businesses by shopping at the KCC Farmer's Market!

I'm in love with this market. I wish there were less tourists as there are tour vans that pull up now. Be great if it were more kama'aina residents. Either way, I had a great time the other day! I can't say enough good things about the fresh mini banana muffins (forgot name of spot) and the "Mana Bowl" (near the Dog Treats co.)

I'm so sad it took me this long to realize KCC Farmer's Market was an event. I've been visiting the island for the last few years, and only this time around, I realized it was a thing! Every Saturday 7:30-11AM! I was only in O'ahu for a little more than a week, but I decided to hit the market 2 weekends in a row. The last time an hour or two before my flight out haha. My favorite places to hit up are @hua_mochialoha's strawberry mochi, @nosh_hawaii's Brazilian cheese bread, and @kukuisausage's hot dogs! Bring cash! Most are cash only. There are a few ATMs at the entrance. Parking can be a bit tricky since traffic cops point you randomly into two lots. When you enter, ideally you want to keep going straight. If you pull off to the right lot, parking is a lot less and harder to find... I can't wait to go back!! Follow the adventure @shoyuthebest on IG!

Pretty big farmer's market with lots of stands for fresh fruits/veggies and lots of stands for food. Super close to Diamond Head Hike so you can do your hike first and come down afterwards for some delicious food or vice versa. Only downside is that the fresh fruits and veggies are extremely pricey but they're super sweet and delicious. Highly recommend getting the cane juice that's near the entrace because that's one of the best juices I ever had! Super refreshing and sweet.

One of the best farmers market I have ever been to. The fruits and vegetables are delicious and fresh and cheaper than if you buy them in a grocery store. You can get one of the best Acai bowls here and there are so many unique gifts you can buy for others if you are visiting from another place such as gnarlic (chili garlic), jams, mochi, etc. My only complaint is that they close too early at 11am. I wish it stayed open longer because I could spend all day here trying the different foods.

One of the better farmers markets on the island that packs both produce and various food stalls. That being said, it's also the most tourist heavy market. Lol I make my way here nearly every Saturday from Moanalua and get there early (730/8am) to beat the crowd and get dibs on the tropical fruit that's in season. Parking is easy and uses the KCC lots, it is also traffic guided so it makes ins and outs easily. Most vendors take cash and card, bring a reusable bag to avoid plastic waste.

Got there at 7:45 am and it was already packed. Expected to see more fruits/veggies but mostly food stands.

Pretty crowded but lots and lots of vendors! Try the Brazilian bread vendor... their little bread sandwiches are really good! Another favorite of mines is the kalamansi ginger juice from pacific kool. Parking: You can park on the property for free, there are cops that will guide you to where you should park. If you have a small car, bring it! The stalls are very tight.

If you are on the island for a Saturday, definitely stop by. Great selection of items to buy. Fresh produce and prepared foods. You can take the bus or drive or Uber. My only complaint is the market closes at 11 am.

Awesome market!! We came for a Saturday morning and it was pretty packed with hungry hungry locals. There were a few farmers stalls with fresh produce towards the edge but most of the stalls were fresh foods/desserts/cafes. We tried a lot of food!! We were only going to be here once so why not? Here's the stuff we ordered that we recommend (usually a specialty stall so you won't miss it, but any stalls are amazing) - fried mochi. Get coconut, you won't regret it - regular Japanese mochi. I preferred the strawberry one to the chocolate banana. - shrimp scampi across from mochi tent - purple taro coffee from the coffee stall in the last row closest to the college - musubi!! - there's a stall specializes in ceviche. It was actually pretty good! I got the mix one to share with the fam - buns from the bakery stall right at the entrance from parking - takoyaki! Basically everything looked and tasted great! If we lived nearby, this would be a regular weekend market. Plus, they got the bathrooms at the college open, so no porta potties!!

FRUITS GALORE. There are so many different types of fruit here that for fruit lovers like me, it's absolute heaven. We came by an hour before closing on Saturday and parking was relatively easy to find and it's a really short walk from the parking lot up to the farmers market. This farmers market has a lot of food stands so you can definitely grab lunch here but you will have to eat at their designated food/drink area due to covid. We ordered different types of hotdogs, chowder, garlic shrimp, and drinks and they were all really good and the price is decent too. Mangosteens are a fruit that are hard to find in California and I was able to find really good fresh ones at KCC. The ones in California are old and hard but the ones at KCC are at the perfect ripeness and I was super pumped to find those. We also bought a bunch of lilikoi and papayas here to take back to our hotel for breakfast and those were amazing as well. Definitely having some fruit withdrawals now that we're back in CA but would definitely come back to this market again when back on Oahu!

Great local farmers. Seems Like there were less vendors this time. But they still have abalone and fried green tomatoes. Lots of food and produce for purchase. It was great to see a lobster roll booth.

I've been going to this KCC Farmers Market since it opened way back in 2003 almost 20 years now back then it was very leisurely relaxing stroll of limited venders unlike today with over 70 venders gets a little crowded so get there early for great parking spaces Today's farmers markets offer more than just fresh, local produce. Find artisanal bread, honey and other products you can't find anywhere else. I also started volunteering for AlohaHarvest collecting bread fruits and veggie Afterwards distributing to halfway house other needed helping institutions around the island There's also great eats like Pig and the Lady Many more other food vendors Happy Hunting

We love the Saturday KCC farmers market! We have gone a few times now and love it so much. There is so much food to choose from and lots of different kinds of drinks as well. Some places only accept cash so that's the only drawback. Parking can get PACKED so go early.

A good variety of food items from specialized vendors. Busy especially mid-morning, but there's timely rotation on the parking, and you can walk right to the parking lot from nearby street parking. It's a good place to find gifts or a snack

Love love love this farmer's market in particular. Come early! I think the best thing to do is do Diamond Head from 6-8am which actually doesn't take that long. Took us 25 minutes up and 20 minutes down and headed straight to the market. We worked up an appetite and gained back calories we walked off. I had to get the garlic butter abalone, my lemonade in a jar and takoyaki. So much to see and it is always jam packed. Wish I could buy some flowers and honey but we were just visiting. This is def the spot to be. There only on Saturday's. Don't miss this. I can come here every week.

This is a very popular farmers market. Its located by Diamond Head and Kapi'olani Community College. Parking is available in their lots and its well organized. There are tons of vendors which I wish I could've tried. But we had some mochi, coffee, Brazilian bread, fruits, etc and everything was great. Would definitely come back.
