Kauai Fruit & Flower

We wanted to take home pineapples to our friends and family after being in Kauai so we stopped by this place after seeing the online reviews. The very nice lady there sold us the last six pineapples at $ 10 each which included the packaging. This price seemed very expensive but She told us the airlines shipped pineapples for free and we asked her about American/​US airlines and she said they were the last airline to finally not charge for shipping. She also told us that we could only take precut mangos on the plane with us.
So after buying a cutting board and knife and cutting up our delicious mangos and with our pineapples in hand we arrive at US airways check in and are told they charge for pineapples and that it would be $ 60 more to ship them on the plane. We were sure it was a mistake and told them what Kauai fruit and flower told us and she said they always charge. We didn’t have any more room in our suitcases to put the pineapples, having bought souvenirs and packed with the idea of shipping our pineapples for free. I begrudgingly paid the 60 believing it would still be worth it and made our way to the gate. Before the gate there was an agriculture check where you had to declare your agriculture and send your carry ons through a scanner. I told the official we had cut up mangos and he said they were forbidden. More misinformation. We had to throw away our delicious mangos. When we finally arrived home we cut up the first pineapple which was pretty good. The next two we have cut up however have been over ripe and not worth eating.
We have learned a valuable lesson the hard way.

Lani did an amazing job preparing a gift basket for my Mom’s birthday. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Lani!!! Much appreciated.

Stopped here earlier in the week to order pineapples to take home with us. The owner kindly advised us shipping was a bad option and that they would box the pineapples for us to take on the plane so that’s what we did. We ordered and paid for them and they were waiting for us when we were on our way home. My only suggestion to them would be to use one of those plastic strapping-​type handles on the box. There’s really no way to carry it other than lug it in your arms. We paid around 50.00 for a box of 6 pineapples.

I love this place and absolutely loved Lahi, who helped us. My husband and I stopped here to buy pineapples & papayas to bring home. It was $ 50 for 6 pineapples, $ 27 for a box of 3, $ 18 for a box of 2 and United Airlines let us each check in a box for no fee. This cute shop is super close to the airport and I would highly recommend stopping in! Lahi was so friendly, helpful, personal and just a sincerely nice person. We will definitely be back on our next Kauai trip and I can’t wait to tell others about Kauai Fruit & Flower!

Best BBQ on the whole island. This place is a must if your visiting kauai!!! Their pork is out of this world.

Pammy is a jewel. She is the most helpful, sweetest person I have ever met here on Kauai. She is also super talented! I could not have imagined such beautiful flowers for our wedding. Such an artist. She also took into account the time of year and utilized the arrangement to co inside with the setting. Woww! I would highly recommend Kauai Fruit and Flower to everyone that has a very special event, You can count on them! Mahalo Nui Loa…
