and services at this standard suburban mall include Macy's and Sears, health stores, air-
line counters, and surf shops. A small food court serves pizza, Chinese fare, tacos, and other
morsels, and the new theaters are a big draw for Windwardites.
In Kailua, LongsDrugs and Macy's department store, located side-by-side on Kailua Road
in the heart of this windward Oahu community, form the shopping nexus of the neighbor-
hood.
Agnes Portuguese Bake Shop This Kailua treasure is the longtime favorite of Hawaii's
malassada mavens. Malassadas—sugary Portuguese dumplings that look and taste like
doughnuts without holes—fly out of the bakery, infusing the entire neighborhood with an ir-
resistible aroma. The Bake Shop also offers a variety of pastries, cookies, scones, Portuguese
bean and other soups, and local- and European-style breads. 46 Hoolai St., Kailua. & 808/262-5367.
AliiAntiquesofKailuaII Abandon all restraint, particularly if you have a weakness for vintage
Hawaiiana. Koa lamps and rattan furniture from the 1930s and 1940s, hula bobbleheads, rare
1940s koa tables, Roseville vases, Don Blanding dinnerware, and a breathtaking array of vin-
tage etched-glass vases and trays are some of the items in this unforgettable shop. Across the
street, the owner's wife runs Alii Antiques of Kailua, which is chockablock with jewelry,
clothing, Bauer and Fiesta Ware, linens, Bakelite bracelets, and floor-to-ceiling collectibles. 21-A
Maluniu Ave., Kailua. & 808/261-1705.
BookEnds BookEnds is the quintessential neighborhood bookstore, run by a pro who buys
good books and knows how to find the ones she doesn't have. There are more than 60,000
titles here, new and used, from Celtic Mandalas to C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia and
the full roster of current bestsellers. Volumes on child care, cooking, and self-improvement;
a hefty periodicals section; and mainstream and offbeat titles are among the treasures to be
found. 600 Kailua Rd., Kailua. & 808/261-1996.
Heritage Antiques & Gifts This Kailua landmark is known for its selection of Tiffany-style
lamps (ranging from $200-$2,000). The mind-boggling inventory also includes European, Asi-
an, American, local, and Pacific Island collectibles. The shop is fun, the people friendly, and
the selection diverse enough to appeal to the casual as well as serious collector. Glassware;
china; and estate, costume, and fine jewelry are among the items of note. Heritage has its own
jeweler who does custom designs and repairs, plus a stable of woodworkers who turn out
custom-made koa rockers and hutches to complement the antique furniture selection. 670 Kai-
lua Rd., Kailua. & 808/261-8700.
THE NORTH SHORE: HALEIWA
Haleiwa means serious shopping for those who know that the unhurried pace of rural life can
conceal vast material treasures. Ask the legions of townies who drive an hour each way just to
stock up on wine and clothes at Haleiwa stores. Below are our Haleiwa highlights.
Art, Gifts & Crafts
Haleiwa's shops and galleries display a combination of marine art, watercolors, and sculp-
tures, as well as a plethora of crafts trying to masquerade as fine art. This is the town for gifts,
fashions, and surf stuff—mostly casual, despite some very high price tags. HaleiwaGallery
