Kauai Community Market — Attraction in Kauai

Found this through Google search and decided to come with my 8 month old. Arrived around 0945 Saturday morning. Bring your own reusable bags and take your time, no rush and keep you pup on a leash.

PRO: Easy to find, parking is plentiful, great variety of vendors

CON: doesn't appear stroller friendly, especially if it's raining bc you are walking through grass/field. People were pushing strollers though just a bit of a struggle. i used a baby carrier. No shade, bring your own umbrella or hat if you decide to sit and eat after. Only place to sit is on the little stone wall around the perimeter of the soccer filed. Or bring your own mat / chairs.

LOCATION: Across from KCC in a big open soccer field.

PARKING: street or they have a designated lawn parking on the other side of the soccer field. keep driving around and follow "additional parking" signs.

SITE: again vendors are spread out pretty nicely on both sides which make a loop around the field. lots of fruit stands, and a handful of local made vendors.

VENDORS: Variety is good of different things from fruits, veggies, honey, coconuts, taro, pizza, baked goods, flowers, etc. There were approximately 15-20 vendors there again mostly fruit and...

This little market is in the Coconut shopping center in Kappa'a and is very well ran, clean, stocked beautiful. As a manager of a major chain grocery store, I can appreciate it even more. We had done some shopping at one of the competitors earlier in the week and then walked from our condo to this place the next day. It had everything the competition had and the prices were better. Of course, I would not do this little market justice without mentioning the deli, baked goods, and coffee shop. The deli has breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The made to order breakfast are wonderful, reasonably priced, and good portions. I haven't had lunch or dinner yet, but with items like prime rib and New York steak on the menu, you can see this is not an ordinary market deli. The baked goods look wonderful (being gluten free I cannot try them) and the coffee is better then most of the major chains. If you stay in one of the many resorts surrounding this market, or even if you don't. I highly...

Biggest Farmer's Market on Kauai. Held at the KCC parking lot. You cannot miss seeing it from the road. Not as large the Hilo's Farmers Market or what you can find in Oahu.

Prices are reasonable if you go towards the end of the day, after 12:15, and you walk around the big loop a couple of times. Bought a dozen apple bananas for $3 and 7 ripe Hawaiian Papayas for $5. Bought 3 Lumpias for $5 and the lady gave us a free Banana Lumpia as a bonus. We enjoyed eating fresh, ripe local fruit for 6 days.

3/3/2018 Update: Went an hour before closing to get lunch and pick up apple bananas and Hawaiian Strawberry Papayas. Papayas were not as ripe, smaller, and pricier ($2 each), guess due to seasonality.

Tried the flaky, crispy Spanish Empanadas (cabbage, eggs, pork) & Pork Adobo Plate Lunch from Kauai Family Cafe (Local Filipino restaurant) stand and fresh kimchee from Kauai Kimchee...
