Loved the little downtown with stores, bakery, etc. and proximity to drives elsewhere on island. Easy to explore all over Moloka'i from there.

Kaunakakai is a very small town with few restaurants and groceries and one gas station. Not much to do there. We enjoyed Hula Bean cafe because it’s hot Mocha coffee was excellent.
4/5 - Good
Steve
Friendly Market is the best place to buy groceries. Have breakfast at the Kanemitsu Bakery and check out their evening Hawaiian Sweet Bread treats. Hiro's, by Hotel Molokai, is the best restaurant on the island.
