Kaimukī Crack Seed Store

Honolulu


This tiny mom-and-pop candy store in Kaimuki vends overflowing glass jars of made-from-scratch crack seed, plus addictive frozen slushies spiked with li hing mui (dried plums in rock salt). There's a mind-blowing number of edibles in here to choose from. Try the pickled mango.
