Kahala Kids

Buy the little ones something when we are there but I love buying things for myself. Kahalas kids are really awesome and highly recommended by MOIS and I have good a55 taste.

iHEART Kahala Kids! I live in California and only get to shop there when I go to O’ahu on vacation and I load up on more clothes for myself than the kids! :) I love their maxi dresses — the prints, styles, material and color choices are wonderful!
Customer Service: I couldn’t find a website for KK so I called the store and spoke to the staff that was on duty that day. She was extremely helpful and probably thought I was crazy for asking her to describe what new items they had in stock for the season. I ended up placing a rather large order for myself and my family over the phone and they were kind enough to mail everything over. I have to say, I was VERY pleased with my entire purchase considering that I didn’t have a preview of anything that I had bought! :)
Keep up the great work Kahala Kids!

Kahala Kids is… «A-​ok». The staff is nice. The store is nothing fabulous, but does have a great assortment of unique and local merchandise. If you get a «VIP» card from the mall office, there’s a (15 0r 20%) discount for certain items on Wednesdays. I will say, if you’re not sure about your purchase and *might* return the item… first ask about their return policy; I brought something back with the receipt a less than a week later and was only given store credit.
Check it out if you’re looking for «hawaiian» because the big stores like Babies R Us typically carry mainland stuff… and just be prepared to pay a little extra since it’s a boutique.

Great place for original designs of kids wear. I wanted to buy a gift for one of my BFF’s who is about to pop, and I found exactly what I was looking for. They have a nice selection local-​themed clothes and bathing suits for the keikis. I found a cute little «surfer girl» outfit for my friend’s soon-​to-​be-​born daughter. Also picked up a «keiki on board» sticker for my friend’s car.
They don’t have gift boxes but they’ll do a «soft-​wrap» (they’ll wrap your purchase without a box) for free.

DO NOT ORDER BRACELETS FROM HERE! When we ordered it the girl told us it could take up to 4 weeks. It’s been 7 weeks! NO response from them, so we decided to go to the store and check up on it. The girl there told us the company making it was undergoing re-​modeling. REALLY?! For the past 7 weeks they been remodeling?! Why take the order if thats going on?! They should have told us when we placed the order cause I sure would have not ordered it. You can go to the swap meet and they can make it in less than 5 minutes! The SAME EXACT bracelet. Do not waste your time here, go else where!
They get 2 stars only because the girl that refunded us was nice… I can’t say the same about the other workers there though.

Never would have stepped in here if we never had our son. I know that sounds quite obvious but for all the baby showers I’ve been to, I never would have thought about coming here. I’ve been to Target or Babies R Us for most of the things I buy for showers.
Since we had Kent, I have ventured in here just to look at their boutique like items. I love their clothes for the kids… the character onesies with the felt fabric are quite neat in my opinion. I am not sure they’re worth the price… might consider one when my son won’t grow out of it in 3 months.
I bought a lot of cute things here including a car seat cover for my Britax Roundabout. I love their Hawaiian/​local fabric that they use. It’s ADORABLE and nothing like what you would find on the mainland. Also, their family alohawear sets are cute except if I like the print, it’s too feminine for my son and husband and vice versa. So normally I just get my own thing and they get their own stuff.
However, if it wasn’t for their sales, I would NEVER shop here. It’s quite expensive. Yes their basic items are on par with other places (mainly I think because they price match) but the other speciality items carry a specialty price tag :(. I would shop here more but I gotta think about my child’s future… and paying for his education. That alone would almost make me want to shop at Goodwill for all his items… ALMOST.

Cute store. One of the very few places to find baby gifts on the east side on Honolulu.

Kahala Kid’s is a cute local boutique. Love it when local boutiques help out local designers and sell there stuff. They have so many different local brands that they carry such as mi cielo, moopiland, etc… I agree that they are pricy but that’s the price you pay when you help the local economy.

I had to buy a present for my friend’s baby’s 1^st birthday so I came here after work and I must have spent at least an hour just perusing the store. They have toys, clothes, shoes, blankets, car seats, and just about anything that you would need for your baby.
I’m a sucker for personalized items. They have barrettes, bracelets, and shirts and you can put you baby’s name on it! I really wanted to get my friend’s daughter the tortoise bracelet with her name on it but the sales associate said it would take a month! Aww I was a sad panda because that bracelet would’ve been perfect for her especially since her mama wears one just like it! I ended up getting her a cute bathing suit and a matching pink headband instead.
Shopping here sure made me want to have a baby STAT! I was eying the «Proud to be Korean» shirt with the Korean flag. I didn’t see a «Proud to be Samoan» shirt or I would’ve bought that for my friend’s baby too! They did have a cute onesie that said Polynesian Soul with a turtle with tribal markings on it. I like that the items have that island flare.
The staff is friendly and helpful and they even wrapped my present for free! The prices are high but what do you expect from Kahala? I can’t wait to have my very own baby fashionista!

Little baby and kids boutique filled with little miscellaneous things from cups to shoes to clothing. They specialized in more of the specialty items that are harder to find in mass merchants like Babies R Us or Target. Some items are a bit more pricier but it’s the best place to check it out.

I’ve been shopping at Kahala Kids since 2005 when they were down the Pizza Hut wing. They have grown quite a bit over the past 5 years and have a nice selection of everything baby you can think of. I’ve probably spent thousands at this store and I still browse everytime I’m in the neighborhood. My kids are now 2.5 and almost 5 so they have almost outgrown the store.
This store is great for an expectant mom. I’ve purchased Avent pacifiers here which were almost the same price as Longs/​Walmart. So even though most of the things here are pricey, some of the cheaper necessities are priced right. I also purchased my double stroller here several years ago. I still use it today and it works great. Brian (the owner’s husband) is quite friendly and knowledgeable about all the products in the store too; he sold me the stroller.
This was the only store I could find Teva psyclone toddler sandals in my 10 mile radius. However, if you don’t get there on the day that their shipment comes in, you probably can’t get the size you want. I tried putting my name on a phantom «waiting list» to get called when the shoes came in, but they never called me back (this happened on 3 separate occasions, so I just gave up with the «waiting list»).
Thus the 3 stars. They run a very tight inventory. I understand that this is a rough time to keep extra stock on hand, but many times when I am looking for something specific, they are out of stock. The Teva sandals, those bags to freeze your breastmilk, the 6 – 18 mo pacifiers, and sunglasses have been out of stock at different times.
If you are just looking for a baby shower gift, or have nothing specific in mind, this is a wonderful baby store. If you have something specific you need, you might want to call them up first before you come down. I’ve made many trips to the store only to be told that they are «out of stock».

I tend to go to Kahala Kids often because it’s close to where I live. I love their Hawaii onesies and T-​shirts. They make great gifts for mainland friends. But, I do think that the prices are higher than other stores (Target, Baby Emporium). In addition, the staff is not that helpful or knowledgeable about the products they have. Their store return policy is also pretty crazy — who does store credits only, nowadays, anyway? That is the main reason I buy my baby products elsewhere.

The store is cute and geared for mommies who has a lot of money. Don’t get me wrong, the selections seemed to be decent and their maternity shirts made me laugh and their children clothings were super cute. However, their toys are OVERPRICED. Their Sassy brand toys are twices as expensive compared to Nordstrom Rack or Target. Their return policy is store credit ONLY which sucks.
I left with bittersweetness in my heart. The store seemed to scream, «You want the best for your child, don’t you? Then shop in our store!»

Kahala Kids is a cute little boutique where you can buy clothes and various accessories for toddlers and young children. Unfortunately, they have a limited selection and often are out of certain sizes. Moreover, what little selection they have are often over priced. For example, when my wife purchased a one piece swimwear for my son, we later discovered that the same swimwear was being sold at Sports Authority for $ 10 less.

Great little baby & kids boutique in Kahala Mall. They’ve really developed this store over the years and have finally figured out what all the well to do Kahala mommies are clamoring for! They’ve got high end strollers, car seats, toys, clothing and all the baby doodads that every new parent would want to spoil their newborn or toddler with. Fun place to look for baby shower gifts. They’ve got my favorite baby carrier of all time — the Ergo. It’s waaay better than the Baby Bjorn!
I particularly like their huge selection of Crocs which come tons of colors. They also sell all the gibbets which my daughter adores. She likes Cinderella with hot pink rhinestones.
It’s spendy though because you’re dealing with boutique and not Walmart pricing. I went to buy a booster seat for my daughter and the cheapest one they had was $ 100. For a booster seat? Really?! I guess you have to pay more because of all the cuteness!

Cute. Cute. Cute!
If you’re looking for something baby (kid) — related, this store has it. Hair things, cute outfits, gift packages, shoes, blankets, diaper bags, nursing tops, bottles, bibs, toys, etc. Stuff you may have seen before, stuff you may never have seen before (flat «stuffed» animals, stackable snack/​formula containers, etc.).
Boutique-​y, yet a large selection. I loved the fact that they had a Hawaiian kick to it all.. . tons of Hawaiian prints and themes. I bought a couple of plumeria flower hair clips for my daughter (can you say, «AW!!!»?). They have so much stuff, you could definitely find a gift if you were looking.
Another plus, they have a photo studio — I’ll be making an appointment later this week, I think.
I’m glad I was able to stumble on this store. Great prices. Great selection (wow!). Friendly staff. I’ll be back.. . too bad they don’t have a store like this in CA, I’d be there in a heartbeat, and quite often!
