Kalapawai Market, Kailua Beach, Oahu
If you are beachside at Kailua, then the Kalapawai Market is worth a visit. In a historic building and owned by the same family since 1992. Good spot for breakfast or lunch or just coffee with a few tables outdoors. It’s a mini market with groceries and lots of alcohol.

We stopped off for a spot of lunch - yummy freshly made sandwiches, freshly squeezed orange juice & homemade banana bread. There is seating inside and outside too for eating and resting before/after the beach!

We hit Kailua just after lunch. After getting checked in we needed a quick bite before heading to the beach. As the #1 rated restaurant we were confident we'd find something. It's a small deli type counter. Fresh salads and sandwiches are featured. Pizza is available. I had a cucumber caprese salad - really tasty and fresh! We've since been back 2 times. I split the Italian sandwich and it was good, too. Half was plenty. It's a great casual place - but don't let the outside fool you. The food is very tasty!

If you are going to Kailua Beach, stop at the Kalapawai Market to pick up beverages or fresh, made-to-order sandwiches or, for that matter, just about anything else you'll need. The market serves the local community and is just a short drive from the beach park. It is a full-service market, open at 6am and closes at 9pm. There is a small parking lot in front, but, despite the parking restrictions sign on the side street, I've seen numerous people park there, too. The service is friendly and helpful. Orders are filled quickly and at fairly reasonable prices for Hawaii. Check it out!

The Kalapawai Market is a great place to stop for a take out or eat in lunch while in Kailua. The sandwiches are fantastic and the New Zealand Meat Pies are brilliant! Be alert for crowds. Parking is tough but doable. Expect a wait. This is a popular place for a reason!

Great market to stop for a cup of coffee and a walk on the beach. Lot of sundry supplies and nice selection of wines. The deli offers a variety of sandwiches, wraps, and salads for breakfast, lunch and dinner take out. This is a local hangout that has a real taste of Hawaii.

This is a great place to stop by for sandwiches before heading to the beach. Great sandwiches, local coffee, milk, juices, etc. walking distance to Kailua beach.

We were trying to find somewhere to stop for breakfast before a kayak expedition and while I am sure Kailua has lots of places, nothing was jumping out as open on this Tuesday morning and then we found this place.
We were warmly welcomed by someone whom I suspect was the owner, food was good and reasonably priced and I always like places that showcase local art so that was a plus. Recommended.

We go here whenever we are on the Waimanalo side. The sandwiches are very good and fresh. This is a good replacement to the Mexican restaurant that use to be here...

Amazing food and service in a small, quaint atmosphere! Everything was always fresh and delicious. Can’t leave without a cookie too.
