Talk Story Bookstore

Reviewed By SnowBeans - San Diego, United States

While traveling, I always make it a point to visit a local bookstore. If possible, I find one with a great story and Talk Story may have the best narrative. It is the westernmost bookstore in the United States and the only bookstore on Kauai. It was a highlight of our visit to Hanapepe and a great way to conclude our day after hiking in the Waimea Canyon. Talk Story offers a great selection of books with a fantastic focus on Hawaii. The staff was knowledgeable and welcoming. I picked up a few books and enjoyed the time spent browsing Talk Story. If you love cats, you will appreciate Talk Story's Boss - Celeste.

Well it is not a fancy place, but the “Kookies” taste great. When you walk in there are plenty of samples. Taste them all. Hard to beat the shortbread macadamia nut.

Friday night is Art Night in Hanapepe. It is so much fun with street vendors, food trucks, and shops that stay open late. Aloha Spice is a quaint shop with the most interesting spices for sale! This trip I picked up two new cacao grinds - one spicy, one dessert minded, both equally good! I also recommend the Hawaiian Paradise Grind (a mixture of Hawaiian sea salt, onion, orange peel, chives, and the mysterious “grains of paradise.” It is amazing on chicken, vegetables, and in fried rice of all things. ❤️
