Seeds ‘n Things

Seeds ‘n Things is my go to place for ICEE. When they see us walk up, they start getting the ICEE cups ready. Great memory or signs that I’m an ICEE addict?
Seeds ‘n Things is located at Windward Mall, 2^nd level near Aeropostale. There is a lot of parking (lucky if you’re in a mall). The store is open, as in no doors. The walls are lined with all kinds of Crack Seed items: shredded mango, li hing mui, salted seed, and so much more. There are a variety of candy that reminds me of when I used to eat all that stuff without gaining an ounce. (I wish for those days!) Lemon Drops, those little wax bottles with the flavored liquid inside, gummy colas… Soo good!
But let’s get to the ICEE! They have 3 sizes: small, medium, large. The cups are displayed on a ledge that is on the upper right of the register. There are usually 4 flavors for ICEE. I say usually because sometimes the machine can go down. My favorite is strawberry. Coca-​cola, blue vanilla, and melon (?) are the other flavors (do NOT take this as gospel, I tend to order the same thing without taking note of what other options are there). I usually get the ice cream option (vanilla) for an extra charge. And recently, I have come to appreciate adding li hing powder to my frozen treat (also additional charge). FANTASTIC!!! You can get the liquid li hing squirted in there (additional charge), but I personally think it’s too strong for my mouth. My ICEE creation is just the best for a hot day or just a treat!
The service here is wonderful! The staff is always ready to grab your crack seed treats or serve your ICEE just the way you ask for it. Once, I was ordering for the whole family (5 of us) and trying to figure out how I was going to get all those cups home. No problem! The counter girls offered me a large ice cream bucket to take as my cup holders! Yay! No spillage in my car!
So if you ever at Windward Mall and just want a cold treat or snack, please stop in & try them out!

There aren’t many crack seed stores around any more. This one is a SMALL shop in Windward Mall (2^nd floor). Lots of dried and pickled items (and sweet things, too). The young girls working there were pleasant and helpful. Items seemed kind of pricey (in my opinion), but I suppose that’s the price you pay for nostalgia.

I really miss the Crack Seed store in Ala Moana, broke my heart when it finally had to close down. I walked by this craptastic store yesterday on my way out and wanted to get something for my dad.
No greeting, the 2 girls behind the cash wrap too busy gossiping about random stuff. I picked up one item and went to the register and had to wait for a few minutes for one of the girls to finish shuffling her ipod to the perfect Iggy Azalea song and grace me with her presence –_​– She couldn’t even crack a smile.
It’s Windward mall so you know it super dead. Your job of ringing up people and curling ribbons for lollipops is not difficult so looking a little interested in your one customer shouldn’t be hard. First and last time here.

This snack shop is small in size, but big in happiness! Everything is arranged in an attractive yet organized fashion. The space is utilized well so that adults and keiki have a good view of all of the items. I like looking at those big glass jars that contain various types of see mui… I can remember my parents talking about how they used to get the crack seed in a brown paper bag. …
If you get a gift basket, a lei, or some other gift for someone, you’ll surely make their day! Make it a point to also get something for yourself. .your thoughtfulness should be acknowledged!

Nice crack seed selection in the mall with bags of different sizes. Nice to be able to buy the easily concealable pocket packs or the large ones for the people you really like.
Prices seemed a bit higher than what you find at the swap meet but at least you’re shopping in an air conditioned area!

Gotta have the — Strawberry icee with ice cream and li hing mui (powder) to bring into the movies!!! Its a must before every movie and tradition!

Quaint little crack seed shop inside of Windward Mall. Cute, economical and has all the things needed. Carck seeds, Icee machine & little treats that the kids love.

They have a pretty good selection of seeds and usually when I’m in the mall I’ll stop by. However, about two weeks ago I had a bad experience with the guy that works there (I think the owner). He was extremely rude to me and I am the type of person who won’t go back if I am offended and made to feel degraded. These little crack seed mom and pops kinda stores are supposed to be friendly and a place that makes you feel welcome.

The best place to get crack seed and all your local favorites! They have an icee machine that all the little kiddies (and adults) love! Everything is fresh and super tasty.
The lemon peel is usually really soft and tender, the icee floats are the best, and the service is pretty good.
I heart seeds n things.

Good place to get your Li hing mui on.
I always stop by to get some Li hing mui and a icee and whatever the keiki’s want. Dad is always first.
Really nice staff.
Prices are comparable to rest of the crack seed stores on the island.
I’m just really surprised that this store has been around for years and made it through the hard times. I think it’s one of the originals from when the mall opened up.
They even have little knick knacks.
