Really enjoyed the Italian sub! Though the French dip looked great too, it was a hard choice to make! Very good prices too!
The Da Geevum burger was very tasty and very juicy!
Food was so delicious!! I forgot to make this post a while back. When I went our server was Egeria and we were also helped by Chase. Both such amazing people! It added to the whole experience. I enjoy when the food is fresh - taste like farm to table kind of place - and folks love to where they work.

Kalapawai Cafe & Deli in Kailua Town is a popular spot known for consistently good food and reasonable prices. The steak, catch of the day, and mushroom dip are made with fresh ingredients and are highly praised. Customers enjoy the outdoor dining on the lanai, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant offers special dishes like the lamb curry, as well as a variety of appetizers and salads, making it suitable for both casual and special occasions. The warm salted chocolate chip cookie with vanilla gelato remains a favorite dessert, especially when the fresh berry crisp is unavailable. The staff, especially Rocky, are recognized for their friendly and helpful service, often providing great recommendations. Visitors also appreciate the onion soup, which is the only one they eat, along with side dishes like rigatoni bolognese and portabello mushroom sandwich. Desserts, including the brown butter cookie warmed with ice cream, are consistently enjoyed. Some guests mentioned a table time limit, but overall, the welcoming atmosphere and delicious menu keep customers returning to try more.
