Kalapawai Cafe & Deli

I've lived in Kailua for a decade and never tried it. I've been missing out. My new go to. The sandwiches are delicious and the muffins are my new addiction. Can't wait for the dinner and wine service

So I finally came for dinner service and it did NOT disappoint. The seared butterfish with saffron aioli and risotto was simple and amazing. I had the ravioli , clean lightly seasoned. Perfection.

☕️ ,???? ,& muffins are very good here. ask for a locals coffee punch card- 10 cups & get the 11th free. no wifi , which is good because this place is already always busy.

One of our 2011 Hale 'Aina-award winners for Best Little Neighborhood Restaurant and Gourmet Comfort Food . You'll find something to satisfy those taste buds here! -The Perfect Weekend, April 2012

Paula was amazing! We love everything about this place. All of our food was amazing, we had a b-fast burrito , 3 different sandwiches , a salad and the clam chowder . Nothing disappoints!!

Best dinner in town ! Best service too! We will definitely be back - a MUST stop when visiting the area!!

Ms. Paula is awesome. She'll make sure you know how the restaurant works and will treat a first-timer with care. Tell her you're new and she'll make sure you feel welcome!
