    Glad to find this cute little deli in this small town south of Hilo. Most of the restaurants here are not much to mention, but The Kea'au Deli is pretty cool. It's very tiny and cute, like a food stand but it's indoors and out of the sun. Take out only! Fresh sandwiches and salads (I liked the strawberry walnut salad) and a variety of coffee and tea drinks. I only wish there was a caffeine free option. Also some baked goods for sale. My husband got a breakfast sandwich and cold brew. When I asked him about the taste he said "it's okay". This isn't a glowing review, but for him it's pretty good. There was some pretty good gelato there too.

    This is the container of AU that leaked through the bag that fell out in my car on my lap ruined my clothes, and my car seat cover.

    Went for lunch today and ordered a sandwich that came with a jour dipping both souce, comes in a paper cup with a lid that does not seal and leaks. One would think the employees would be aware of this. However, they packaged our sandwich in a paper bag , on the bottom of the paper bag was the sauce, no warning that it's going to leak. So of course it leaked through the bag all over my clothes and all over my car seat cover. I would think the employees would line the bottom of the bag with a couple of napkins to prevent this accident from happening or simply place the sauce in a plastic bag. It's just pure common sense.....but obviously the girls who work there have none & don't care.. I won't be back, a simple fix, but too much to ask from these dumb girls who ruin it for the nice hardworking owner.

    Pretty good toasted sandwich, I went later in the afternoon and they still had a good amount left.

    Fantastic little lunch spot, super cute inside & absolutely made me want every single thing on the menu by the display. Loved the gelato, sandwich, & muffin I got. Each ingredient in my ham & brie shined, you can taste each piece on its own, vs a standard sandwich that tastes like overpowering red onion or just bland salty meat. Very friendly staff & fabulous service. I can't believe they've been they've been there a whole year before I tried them!

    Croissant bacon egg spinach sandwich with way to much mayonnaise

    One thing that needs to change is the amount of mayonnaise they put in the breakfast sandwiches! It's smells disgusting & taste disgusting! The bacon sandwich falls apart with all the mayonnaise slapped in it! They should NOT put any mayonnaise in the sandwiches & make it an option on the side because this is a ridiculous amount of mayonnaise to be put into a sandwich. I can't even eat it & now I wasted my money because it's going in the trash. On top of that I have to find something else to eat because I am still hungry. In the picture I posted you can see how much mayo is in the sandwich. Mind you this is after I tried to wipe some off!

    Hair that was in my sandwich. Sadly, it also got in my mouth.

    Bad review for today's sandwich. Took a bite only the Italian sub sandwich. There was a long hair in there that I almost ate.

    Gelato in Keaau!

    Excellent selection of gelatos, fresh made soup, fabulous sandwiches, salads and entrees to go, and assorted bakery treats.

    They no longer have just plain blueberry sorbet, which was what I went there for. But the sweet cream ice cream was good.
