Merchant Monday: Sugar Coast Candy 🍬

Sugar Coast Candy has been holding down its corner of Kamehameha Avenue in downtown Hilo for over twenty years, behind those big red doors with a chandelier hanging over the candy bins. Old fashioned sweets you have not seen since small kid time. Saltwater taffy, hand-made specialty chocolates, candy apples, and ice cold bottles of soda pop in flavors you did not know existed.

This is what downtown Hilo is all about. A family shop that kept the nostalgia alive for two decades and still packs custom gift boxes by hand for whoever you love.

🍬 274 Kamehameha Ave, Downtown Hilo

Merchant Monday: Cafe 100 🍲

Some restaurants serve food. Cafe 100 serves history. When Richard Miyashiro came home from World War II, he opened a small diner in Waiakea Town and named it after his unit, the 100th Battalion, the Hawaii born Japanese American soldiers who became the most decorated unit of their size in the war.

Two tsunamis destroyed everything he built. He rebuilt both times, opening at Kilauea Avenue in 1962 as Hilo’s very first drive in. Eighty years later, his granddaughter runs the counter, the beef stew still follows his original recipe, and the Loco Moco menu has grown to over 30 kinds.

969 Kilauea Ave, Hilo
Mon to Fri, 11am to 6pm, Sun from 10am
Home of the Loco Moco, 30+ varieties
