Very strong coffee, this place knows how to make an espresso drink for sure!! Even though a coffee is iced, you can taste the richness of the coffee until the very last drop. Not a big parking lot, but you can park in neighborhood side streets. Definitely worth the drop by. Assortment of general store like goods as well.

Terrible service I have been a customer for over 20 years and never have I experienced such bad service last few years. The owners mother is actually my client and I haven't even told her. There's been numerous occasions where I have called and asked for the deli and they put me on hold forever and I mean foreverrrr (yesterday I called twice and it happened both times that I had to hang up because it took so long )one time I just walked in while my phone was still on hold and the girls were just talking on their phonesFood is great. The products are great and I love this place but the service is horrible. They do not care about customer service. Get off your phone girls! Pay attention!

I always stop at this locally owned market when I visit Kailua. The historic market was built in 1932! They have a small sandwich shop in the back, a coffee station in front (serving Hawaiian coffee, of course) and convenience store items up front. I like that they carry locally made goods as well. This visit, I picked up red Hawaiian Volcanic Salt, which is hard to find. Prices were reasonable. The market is close to the beach, making it a perfect spot to grab lunch. Sandwich prices have gone up since my last visit, but the sandwiches are large and sharable. The clerks are friendly, helpful and efficient.

While on the north shore of Oahu thanks to booking a kayak tour, the package we booked came with lunch. One of the choices was here for a select menu of items. We came here as it looked like more our speed. More of a down home type place that is more focused on food than looking a certain way - vintage with paneling, dim lighting and some solid food. I went with the turkey BLT wrap - which could have used more meat but was good. The deal also came with a bag of chips and a can of soda. Was just the right amount of food - and I liked it here. Would come back and try something new.

First time trying here and I enjoyed it, cute little spot in Kailua before getting into Kailua town. Parking can be tight but not hard. Mood setting was simple, nothing too fancy and more of a comfortable dress attire. Our server was so sweet, she always checked on us at the right times, drinks were always refilled. We ordered the crap artichoke dip and wow that was really good. The menu was short and simple which was good, I dislike looking through pages of menu items. I did notice I did not really see a kids menu, but they did have side dishes you could order so my son was happy with the Mac and cheese. We ordered the shrimp gumbo and lamb, both dishes were great and the gumbo was the right amount of spice.

Our friends brought us here because they said the banana bread is so good. They were raving about it. Maybe my expectations were too high, but it was below average banana bread. Very dry, not much banana flavor. Felt like it might be old. Expensive too for a single loaf.

Stopped by Kalapawai Market to grab a couple drinks and chips before hitting Kailua Beach.Didn't realize this little corner beach market offered breakfast and lunch options as well. Ordered a couple of sandwich combos all which were delicious! They also have these prepackaged grab and go food options (cold curry chicken, potato salad, cut up fruit, yogurt parfait etc)i f you're press for time.The curry chicken didn't even make it to the register.Although I didn't try any of the breakfast options they all looked great.Besides your regular cold beverages Kalapawai offers a variety of coffees with flavored creamers.If you can't wait to eat they have a have a few benches on the side of the building you can use.If not take it to the beach.As I read in a previous review and would suggest it, park at the beach then walk over to the market to grab your food.The staff was super friendly and the prices are reasonable.Kalapawai was a great find, highly recommend.

The market itself is located right on Kailua beach and has an outside seating area for dining. The ahi poke was super fresh and delicious, the sandwich was pretty good but not anything extraordinary. The salad was also okay, but the portion was super big and filling.
