      Hit the SPOT! The Italian sandwich and the Turkey Club were FANTASTIC! The chips and drinks were good, spot was cute, hospitality was great and overall a perfect lunch spot to pickup when at the beach!

      Great little market with the most amazing sandwiches
      Grab a couple drinks, some sandwiches and you're good to go relax on Kailua beach!
      They have a nice little covered outdoor seating if you wanna eat there
      They sell Andy's Salsa, who is a local guy that makes the best salsa I have ever eaten!
      They also have quite the selection of souvenirs and photo/art prints for sale
      I always come back here, and the people who work there are super friendly!

      Our friends brought us here because they said the banana bread is so good. They were raving about it.

      Maybe my expectations were too high, but it was below average banana bread. Very dry, not much banana flavor. Felt like it might be old. Expensive too for a single loaf.

      Nothing better than a delicious sandwich after a beautiful walk on Kailua Beach. This local market is both adorable and full of good things. They also have picnic tables outside so you can grab your food and hang out for a bit while you eat. The folks at the deli were super sweet and helpful. I got the BTA (bacon, tomato and avocado) sandwich on a plain bagel - I've never met a place that voluntarily skipped the lettuce and it was decidedly a perk. Loved it!

      We stopped by here to grab quick drinks. We got coconut latte and while we were waiting, my friends got juice from the fridge. All of them are very good (we got ginger, pineapple and nectar)! The cafe is really big.

      Convenient location to Kailua and lanikai beach.

      If you missed the grocery stores in Kailua this is your last chance for snack, beverages and fresh food options.

      Got the fresh Mahi sandwich. Good/ filling, lacking a little in the Mahi department in my opinion but tasty and everything by tastes better at the beach.

      A friendly, neighborhood market that sells sundries, fresh coffee, and other beverages.

      The coffee is fantastic. The coconut overnight oats cup is delicious. And the lemon poppyseed muffin was fresh and moist.

      This is the right place to start your day.

      What a nice fun market with all kinds of items to purchase. Live near by and need some item you need for dinner, they might have it. There are souvenirs from hats, tshirts, insulated cups, and more. They were grilling some chicken outside and it smelt amazing! I did not get any food here, so cannot say the taste, but it sure smells good.
