About Wailua Country Store
# Wailua Country Store
This renovated neighborhood store transformed from a basic country market to a boutique operation under new ownership in 2023. What started as a simple meat market in 1995 has evolved into your one-stop spot for breakfast burritos, locally made organic bagels, and fresh cake slices that arrive every Friday.
You'll find a country store with serious upgrades—think boutique market approach mixed with classic Hawaiian country character. The shelves stock local products, fresh produce, and grab-and-go items from Kitchen Table Kauai. Their breakfast burritos (veggie option available) work well for fueling up before hitting the trails, and the cinnamon cardamom morning buns deliver a solid sweet start to your day.
The space carries a welcoming, community-focused energy that invites you to spend time browsing. They've balanced seasonal decor while maintaining authentic local roots, offering vegan and gluten-free options alongside small business boutique items throughout.
**Perfect for:** Wailua Homesteads locals, anyone heading up Kuamoo Road toward the waterfalls, or visitors wanting to shop where locals actually shop.
**Insider tip:** Hit them up on Friday for fresh locally made cake slices—they move quickly.
The owners clearly care about the details, and it shows throughout the store.
