Similar to the Downtown Honolulu store, the University store will feature CU Hawaiʻi’s ramyun library wall with in-store cookers, exclusive Korean and local snacks, customizable drinks, popular onigiri, and more.

This store also features CU Hawaiʻi’s signature DIY smoothie machine and slushy machine. Smoothies come in flavors like strawberry banana, mixed berry, acai and mango banana kale.

The University store will also feature new, exclusive products that aren’t offered in other CU Hawaiʻi stores, including CU Hawaiʻi socks and other merch, BTS figurines and Kendama.
