Hyatt Farmer’s Market

This farmers market was not too large but offered plenty of fresh & local fruits and produce.
Most common fruits offered were sliced pineapples of course, watermelon, lychee, mango.
They even had papaya salad for sale, tapioca pudding, guava bread, taro bread, pastries, Masaladas & big cinnamon buns.
There were stands with jewelry, candles & soaps. This is in the center of the Hyatt as you walk past the ABC store.
Grab some fruit for a few bucks and chill it in the fridge, it’s so good! Have them cut open a coconut and sip the juice, they offered to cut the meat out for you when finished too if you choose.

Of the two Waikiki farmers markets we went to, the Hyatt was by far the best. It had all the same vendors as the Kings Village one, plus tons of other new ones. The fruit vendors were good, and made us a custom combo of fruits for the same price. Just ask for what you want and they might do it. Don’t bother with Dragon fruit. It looks cool but is mostly flavorless.
Lots of other interesting little foods and treats. Don’t miss the bread and bakery in the middle — the place with samples of their pineapple, guava, and taro breads. Very nice. They also had great macarons there, the best we had on the island (and we tried a few!).
Also don’t miss the steamed potatoes. I know it doesn’t sound exciting but the Hawaiian sweet potatoes are delicious! They are purple in color and much sweeter than mainland garnet sweet potatoes. Yum. Don’t bother with the taro — it’s pretty much a flavorless starch.

Found this place as we walked along the strip. Loved it. The variety of fruits was great! Everyone is extremely nice. I become obsessed with the coconut tapioca! I actually had 2 of them. I usually go to the Farmer’s Market in Pasadena CA as well as in Huntington Beach CA-​this by far is the best I’ve been to. So many vendors of amazing foods.

I like this market better than the King’s Village one. But no big deal because the time I was here, it was open on different days, so I was able to try out both anyhow.
This particular market had more vendors outside of fruits and vegetables. There was a spice, soap, Hawaiian jewerly, coffee, honey, manapua, and other stands.
A must visit while on Waikiki beach.

Not recommended if you are looking for a true farmer’s market (where you can do all of your produce shopping). There were only few vendors with vegetables (small selections). However, I can see why tourists may enjoy this market since they sell «ready to eat» fruits, salad, pastries and snacks.

I had been to the Hyatt Famers Market several times before and it has only gotten better over the years. Once thing missing is the hot food they used to have which is sad because some of the vendors had some really tasty items. They do have such a great selection of local fruits and veggies for those in the Waikiki area to try.
We found a vendor who had flavored Lavosh breads — mango, lychee and pineapple were the ones we selected. We were able to sample them before buying and they were so tasty. They are a cracker style bread slightly thin but ever so delicious. The wife also got a great looking salad with Romaine, pineapple, papaya and egg which came with a coconut peanut butter dressing.
They have some really cool vendors with local crafts and one vendor had some tasty but expensive pork and beef jerky. Despite the cost I got the beef jerky which was very tasty and thinly sliced and so easy to eat. I felt bad after sampling so it was a guilt purchase but what the heck I am on vacation.
The Macadamia but vendor’s prices were on the high side $ 12 for ½ pound of flavored nuts. I think that is too much for that small amount of nuts. The wife also got some boiled peanuts which she said were delicious. I have always found something to buy to eat not and some unique goodies to take home. Well worth the visit if near the Waikiki Hyatt 4 – 8 PM on Tue & Thur.

Convenient and fun farmer’s market located in the Hyatt. We stumbled upon this market as we were just walking around Waikiki. Lots of options for fresh fruits to snack or buy whole. Lots of samples of Hawaiian specialties such as coffee, jams, nuts, etc. They also sell veggies and produce for the locals — can’t imagine a tourist wanting to buy a head of leafy greens!

We accidently stumbled here while walking around exploring Waikiki. There are a number of different vendors here selling their goodies. I believe it is here on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are fruits, LARGE avocados, mochi, sweets, soaps, etc etc etc! My husband stumbled upon a Tropical water ice stand I believe that was from Maui? And he still cannot stop raving about them. We tried the Li Hing Pineapple and Pina Colada and it was so creamy and full of flavor. I highly recommend to stop by to try the different things each vendor has to offer. It is also a bit «cheaper» than the other restaurants in the Waikiki area. Bring cash!

Going to a farmer market? while traveling? why not.
You will mingle with the locals, and get some healthy and
food.
You will sample some of the local produce. Seriously, try them, they are FREE.
You can buy some Hawaiian coffee, and locally made butters and jams with tropical flavors.
You will be able to get locally grown fruits and veggies, such as papayas, and even Rambutan!
Pro advice:
If you are visiting Waikīkī, you should check this out. Every Tuesday & Thursdays. 4−8pm in the Pualeilani Atrium shopping inside at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa.
Bring cash to make your life easier, and don’t forget to compare prices before you buy.

Indoor farmers market, how awesome! It’s located right inside Hyatt Regency hotel. On the ground floor, there are many retail shops. On Tuesday and Thursday, many vendors setup their booth in the middle of the courtyard.
Fresh fruit with very reasonable price. What a fun thing to do after staying on the beach all day. Just cross street from the beach, how convenient!

Love the fresh fruit from here! They peel it and cut it up in front of you so you know it’s fresh. Today there was a malasadas stand too! one of the ladies said they are open 4 days a week now. Including Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursday and Sundays.
A small box of fruit cost me $ 3. Cheaper than at the ABC stores and it’s fresh.
They also have fresh vegetables here.

Stumbled across this farmer’s market on a Tuesday afternoon. Local businesses set out stands of baked goods, fresh fruit and crafts. Hyatt has lots of seating and is indoors in a nicely ventilated area — it’s a lot of fun to just pick up a few snacks and people watch. Particularly loved the pandan butter mochi cupcakes. This farmer’s market was much more extensive than the one in King’s Village, at least 4 times the size (wouldn’t recommend going to King’s Village).

I go there to buy vegetables on Tuesdays and Thursdays after I get off work that’s when they have the farmers market. They open from 4pm to 8pm and you might get discounts if you go there after 7:30pm because they will try to get rid of all food.
It’s very convenient for me since I work in Waikiki and recommend it to all tourists who stay in Waikiki. They have fresh local fruits such as mangoes, papayas, lychees, pineapples, etc.,
You don’t need to spend so much money to enjoy local food :)

A fun find, and the fresh squeezed sugar cane juice ($ 5) is awesome! Tons of samples, relatively affordable fresh cut fruit for Waikiki ($ 3 for cantaloupe, mango, papaya, etc). I also hear there is awesome fresh peanut butter here although I didn’t try it.
This farmer’s market is a great change of pace from all the tourist shops.

Awesome! You get down from the hotel they have the farmers market (2 days a week) Tender coconut, fresh fruits, veggies, sugar cane juice etc. Its a treat!

Open Tues and Thurs right now. The grilled chicken and pork plate in the middle of the market is amazing!!! Perfect seasoning and great char level. Like candy meat :) The seller was super nice and generous with the portion size as well.

This «farmer’s» market is held on Tuesday & Thursday. Hyatt even shut it down because their Union Cry Babies screamed foul play. LMAO!
Luckily, Hyatt listened to the hordes of complaints from the locals and re-​opened it.
Most the the fruits and veggies come straight from Costco or any other wholesale company. The so-​called-​farmers don’t even know what GMO is.
Truthfully, go to Kauai or Molokai for a REAL FARMER’S Market, or just listen when I say tourist trap.

Another Farmers’ Market in Waikiki. Keep in mind it’s only open on Thursdays!
An eclectic mix of vendors, some who are at other farmers markets around the Island (like the granny baker with purple hair) and others who I’ve only seen at the Hyatt Market.
Whether you’re a tourist or a local, it’s a interesting market to visit! If you’re a foodie then it’s a must, as a lot of vendors are food related.

Only five stars because you can find Kau coffee from Aikane Plantation from the Big Island. Way better than typical Kona stuff you find elsewhere!
Rest of the market is OK but the purple bag coffee is all we left with!

This is the first Farmers Market I’ve been to that actually inspired me to create a dish based on what was readily available. So kudos to that. Who would’ve thought? Definitely not me. Especially from a market that’s smack dab in the middle of Waikiki, a haven and mecca for tourists.
I’ve been making it a point to holo holo in Waikiki at least once or every other month. Why in the world right? There’s some pretty interesting things to see and experience here and it is our own backyard so to speak
so why not? Life is too short.
The Hyatt Regency Farmer’s Market takes place every Thursday’s from 4 pm to 8 pm on their ground floor atrium area. As far as I could tell it was bustling with many tourists & not so much locals. I went a bit on the early side so maybe the pau hana crowd didn’t get there yet.
Perhaps because of this a lot of the products being sold is geared towards the tourists in mind: lots and lots of ready to eat fresh cut fruits, so colorful & pretty. There were multiple tables of these & although they all looked the same, it was slightly different so you best look around & see what strikes your fancy.
My plan of attack was to have a look around the entire market before making any purchase. That sort of backfired on me as something that caught my eye earlier was sold out by the time I went back. Coconut crème filled malasada, I was looking at you, sigh.
So what else does this market have? There was a nice selection of food on a stick that I wanted to try but just wasn’t feeling it. Perhaps next time. They also have flavored peanut butter, lemonade, pastries, sweet rolls and other baked goods, dim sum, a good range of ethnic food, bottled honey, coffee butter, sugar cane juice, gluten free baked goods, gourmet flavored cotton candy, and not to mention the produce.
Loved the produce selection here. I wanted to buy the kale, but the spinach looked so good too. They even had brussel sprouts. Alot of the produce was bagged in fairly small portions & mostly in the $ 2 range so it would be excellent for budget conscious tourists who like to do their own cooking.
So I spent a total of $ 21 with almost half of that spent on the jar of coffee butter I picked up. The rest of my haul included a pak of fresh cut fruits ($ 4), a bagged salad mix ($ 2.50), a bag of sweet peppers ($ 2) and two poi malasadas at ($ 1.25) each.
My inspirational dish turned out to be a stuffed pepper chon. My first attempt at it turned out to be pretty good. Will add it to my repertoire for sure. I wish I could make visits to this Market a regular thing but it’s a bit of a hassle for me to do so. But if you work or play in this area you should make it a must visit at least once.
TIP: According to Hyatt’s website, self-​parking is $ 8 or $ 13 for valet. Or you can park elsewhere and walk. If you catch the bus just note that it takes about 30 minutes one way from Ala Moana, only because Kalia Road gets clogged at rush hour. If you come from the other part of town, i.e. from Diamond Head side or South King/​Kalakaua it may be faster though I don’t really know. Oh yeah, bring your recycled bag to store your haul. The packages they give is really small and not easy to lug around.
