Everyone was pleasant and friendly, the food is delicious every time we go. This time we had the green goddess salad, a pizza and the burger with pastrami, all so good! And the tomahawk pork chop is a must! We also enjoyed the bread pudding dessert with vanilla ice cream! Great wine list too! Thank you for always having the best quality food!
This place was amazing and alot of gluten free options .
Another lovely evening. Can't miss with excellent food and super service. A lovely way to end the weekend on a hot muggy weekend.

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.
