The Glass Shack

This is a great little shop, filled all kinds of glass art! I loved that they were open early (at 9am) and their customer service was awesome. I left with just what I was looking for and got a good deal! Will be back the next time I’m in town!

Very helpful! Awesome! The pipes are in the back, pretty much anything you want. Dude worked within our budget got us what we needed. He took a lot of time talking to is and made sure we left happy with everything we needed to enjoy our Kauai vacation to the fullest!!! So happy with our purchases. Within our budget and such good vibes! Recommend this place to all irie friends.

I was very disappointed that these guys didn’t come through with what we talked about. I came in on a Saturday and asked for an item that that didn’t have but agreed to make it and have it ready for me when I returned on Monday. I called to see if it was redy and was told «sorry we were too busy to make it.»

The Glass Shack is a great place to stop in and see some local craftsmanship, in-​action. They have tons of artisan made glass creations to choose from, and the best part is… you can stand there and watch someone actually make something out of glass. When we stopped in, they were making glass beads, with flowers inside of them. Just amazing to see someone do this live. My 7-​year-​old was well entertained by the craftsman in-​action. They have a great viewing location with a safety window to see them do their craft. I took a picture of him making a flower, and posted it here to Unilocal for others to enjoy.
If you are driving thru Kapaa, it is a great place to stop off along the way to wherever you are going.

Visited this store looking for some nice local glass. They had a few neat individual pieces that were well-​crafted, thus the two stars.
Service was awful. There’s Hawaiian time, and then there’s this place.
We wanted to look at some of the glass work that was on the countertop cases, but the guy behind the counter was too busy talking to his friends over the counter. Every «excuse me, can we look at that» was met by a «be right with you.» We left after 20 minutes of this routine. They apparently don’t need to sell anything to stay in business.
Nice to see that someone else at least got a personalized walk-​through of the glass blown here…

The state of Hawaii has no shortage of lame craft offerings. The Glass Shack in Kapaa on Kauai is a real exception.
Andy, one of the partners and an awfully nice young man, took a break from his work blowing glass and walked me through some really unusual and singularly beautiful art glass jewelry and sold me (2) pieces, necklaces I’m looking forward to giving as gifts.
Bring home something other than a box of Hilo Hattie chocolates. Drop by The Glass Shack.
