City Mill - Kaimuki — Attraction in Honolulu

This Hardware store has been in the neighborhood since I was a young girl, providing for the people in this area with a variety of all sorts of items for a business or home. City Mill can be seen from the street im all directions with their own parking area for the steady flow of customers throughout the day. Not only can you shop in store but they offer store pickup when order online. Clean, neat and organized with various signs to lead you to an item. Friendly staff around the store willing to assist if in need. Public restrooms available in their outdoor area where you find garden/yard items, lumber and even a customize station for window screens to be made. You will also find a cashier located just as you enter/exit this area. Small plant section where recently one of the only Native Hawaiian Plant Nursery provides various native plants to purchase. I do periodically shop at this neighborhood hardware store once a month for convenience but most times your able to find most anything you looking for. Ever in the area and in need of a tool or something keep this neighborhood hardware...

City Mill is my first stop for hardware needs because its in my neighborhood and I like to support local business. I have found their team to be really helpful over the past several years with all my home improvement and art projects, whether it was cutting concrete backer board, or pieces or wood, or helping me select the best smoke alarm or fasteners that will do what I need them to do. I don't agree with another guy's review, since I've returned a number of items and never had a problem. I do agree that some of the selection is limited, but I'm beginning to understand that this is true for all of the hardware stores in Hawaii. But they have a fair amount of power tools, home cleaners, light bulbs and fasteners. They recently started stocking a larger selection of pre-cut plywood and melamine boards. I think they also offer a wider selection of Dremel bits than Home Depot does. So, it just depends what you're looking for. I think the part I like best is how the other customers are also so helpful in figuring out what I need to get my latest...

Great neighbourhood spot. The store is well organized and clean, employees are helpful. They not only carry standard hardware store items, but home decor and organizational items as well. I’m disappointed (in myself) that I didn’t come here and instead bounced between the big box stores looking for basic house goods (brooms, cleaning supplies, welcome mat, etc.) as they have it all, and at decent prices too.

A large selection of SimpleHuman items priced the same (or just $1 more) than Amazon. Over the door hangers, waste bins, soap pumps, and every oxo brand kitchen item. In addition, they also carry furniture at very affordable prices.

Their garden center was well stocked. I picked up perlite, peat and sphagnum mix, seed starter kit, and a few misc seed packets. As others have mentioned, if you want something in particular, you can call ahead.

Highly recommend if you’re new to the neighbourhood and need to stock up without dealing with the bustle around Ala Moana. Always great to support a local business....
