Lulu’s Sweet Shoppe
If you prefer cupcakes over cannolis. Red velvet? Boston cream cupcake? Salted caramel? Yes please. Formerly a 'bake shoppe,' this place has reopened as a 'sweet shoppe,' which means they now have old-fashioned candies and homemade chocolates. We don't know whether to be happy or sad that this cutesy place has reopened on the site of the former Dairy Fresh Candies.

Fudge Pot

River Street Sweets
A tip: order your pralines not at the cash register, but directly from the praline counter, where they're nice and warm. If you love them - and you will - you can ship some home.

Doughboys
Cream cheese–frosted cupcakes are among the naughty delights served up quickly at this boho-artist redoubt, which also has more sensible soups and sandwiches. Portions are huge.

Wishing Well Shave Ice
Can't miss the colorful van parked near the Hanalei Taro & Juice Company kiosk! While its claim to be the oldest shave-ice vendor on Kaua'i may or may not be true, it does serve a fine product.

Java Kai
A mostly local chain, Java Kai is a nice alternative to Starbucks. Choose from a mind-boggling selection of java drinks, along with coffee beans. Yummy muffins, fruity smoothies and limited sidewalk seating.
