    What a delicious gem of a place for breakfast! Their food delicious and fresh. The staff was friendly and patient; they were also happy to answer questions about their menu items. I highly recommend you skip the Starbucks and give this local eatery a try. You will not be disappointed.🤙

    The crab and artichoke dip as well as the poke nachos were really tasty and the presentation was great! Service was awesome! My party of four had a fantastic dining experience at Kalapawi Cafe & Deli.

    We went here for a birthday dinner with our older kids and everyone LOVED this place! The food was fantastic, dessert was amazing, and our server Brian made dinner a fun experience. We made a reservation, but it was a Monday night, so it wasn’t too busy. We went to a few other “more popular” places, but we would come back here before any others. Highly recommend!

    The staff is very welcoming, kind and patient! Very knowledgeable and honest about the menu. I got the French dip and am obsessed! I tried the fries the first time (gotta play it safe) and Mac n cheese the second time. I have to say the fries were definitely superior, but the food is always so good! I love coming for a nice quiet brunch here.

    Two star for the poke bowl… can’t believe I got frozen poke at a restaurant in Hawaii. The beer selection is good though. Liked the lilikoi cider that’s brewing when we went

    There was nothing really special about this place, deli sandwiches. I would think if it were deli sandwiches that there would be something unique about them to draw people in, maybe some good aloi's - sauces for the food. But hard bread and dry sandwiches are not going to cut it. Maybe we will try something else nice time, but the sandwiches was not it. I hope you have a great day and this helps you out.

    We ordered food to go since the wait was about 1 hour long. The fries were good but they arrived already cold. The cheese was cold and it didn't pull away so it was clumped together. The fish taco was okay. Because the food did not arrive hot, the burrito wrap was not soft anymore. The Wagyu burger was very good. Nice place, wish our food had been brought out hot.

    We ordered takeout and the service was extremely quick. They have a coffee bar, market and bar as well so for those just wanting to stop in quickly they have many options. With a full service restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, those wanting a nice meal out will be happy as well. I had a delicious veggie burger. There was a tomato chutney they put on top that was really tasty. Definitely a place where locals frequent, so a real find for a visitor to the island!

    The service was impeccable, so hats off to Brian for that! He really did impress my wife and I on a dinner date. The food was also very good. I had the swordfish on a bed of risotto, which really was delicious! My wife had the swordfish fish and chips, which was also very good! Overall: Outstanding job!!

    The fish and chips were excellent! Made with swordfish and beer batter. Served quickly and very hot. Brian was our server and did an excellent job informing us of menu items and wine/cocktail pairings with our meal. Top notch service and great food!

    I was in the Kapolei area for work and drove by this spot, so I turned around for a quick lunch. I’ve seen it before and was always curious… First off, the restaurant space is really nice, with both indoor and outdoor dining. There’s also a lot of cool swag and food items for sale. The menu selection is vast with a lot of healthy options to select. The ladies at the front counter weee all really nice. I ordered the Fish of the Day, which was Ono. The flavor was good, though slightly overcooked. The little side of Kim Chee was good too. I was disappointed with the rice however, as it was dry and tasted a day old. Overall, I think this is a nice spot to visit if you’re in the Kapolei area!

    I had the beet poke bowl with side toss salad. It was decent. Only time I've had beet poke so nothing to compare it to, just seemed to be missing something. Staff was very friendly. Great atmosphere. The poi banana bread was delicious. I'd go back there for that alone.

    I ordered “da skinny” and my wife ordered the “Avocado toast” the food took 30 minutes for the sandwich and the toast to be made. Both tasted ok, however, the pork on “da skinny” was very dry and only covered half the sandwich not even the entire bun. 80% of “da skinny” was coleslaw which was quite the let down. 15.50 for my sandwich and it didn’t come with a drink which was surprising. And neither did my wife’s Avocado Toast. It was good to try but won’t be coming back here because it’s simply not worth the price or wait time.

    Really nice, layed back place for a meal. The pork belly bento was outstanding. The cheeseburger was very good as well.

    These cafes are at different locations all over the island. We have visited several. They honestly have a great selection of items to choose from. We have dined in and bought some of their baked goods to go. Each time we have had a good experience. There is a big enough variety on their menu if you want just a burger or something a little fancier. The presentation of the food is good and the seving size is plenty. Great for families and adults only too. They also have a good drink selection.

    Nice cafe with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Service and ambience was exceptional. I had a macadamia nut muffin and iced latte and sat outside. Would definitely go back.

    Very cute little coffee shop with great coffee and beans. I don't recommend the smoothies, however. The green smoothie I tried was an icy texture with many vegetable chucks and made my friend gag. It still tasted fine though, just probably not blended long enough.

    Pastrami was a bit dry and heavy on the mustard. But still, everything else was really yummy!
