The food was really yummy. I would recommend getting the hot pastrami sandwich. The bread was…read moreperfect. The ambiance is pretty chill too. We thought it was a great place to do work since it's outside and the title of the restaurant has cafe in it. It's super spacious inside and outside. But unfortunately it's not a great place to bring a laptop. There's no WiFi. Other than that, it was a great pit stop for lunch and now we're off to finding another cafe we can do some homework at.

Very light and delicious! It's a full service restaurant. They also have takeout area/store with sweet treats and some merch as people call it these days. I do have to try their entrees in their sit down area one day. They also have counter/ bar area that's open air. Free parking in front of the restaurant.

I don't visit Kapolei as often anymore but EARL in Kapolei is the only store that offers Gelati -…read moreItalian Ice with frozen custard soft serve. I had a coupon from their loyalty rewards program and redeemed it when I ordered takeaway via Square. EARL's new proprietary app is up and running but I haven't downloaded it; the previous app was good. Their weekend special to end the month of May 2026 caught my eye. Infinity Burger, which is a smash burger with sauce and Cooper Sharp cheese. Fantastic...made it a double. The Gelati was also excellent. I paired it with Blue Raspberry Italian Ice - excellent. Service was excellent. I could not order the Gelati online...probably because it is only available in Kapolei and not their other two locations in town. Cashier accomodated me and I added to the tip jar. Open daily from 1000a till 900p. Located in Ka Makana Ali'i....so there are lots of stalls available.

Avoid this spot - try the other locations…read more Man I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately upon walking in only 2 of the 6 tables were clean and two of the sandwiches I had wanted to pick up were actually specials and not offered regularly. Ok, understandable. Ordered two other sandwiches and a gelati. When the food came out, the gelati was overflowing the cup and one of the two sandwiches was stuffed so full the toppings wrapped around the bread, soaking it and making it more of a salad than anything else. For almost $60 this was a real bummer of an experience. I'm no stranger to East Coast style subs and kind of the seedy corners the best ones usually occupy but this spot is just not it. The ingredients themselves seem good, there just seems to be a lack of care at this location. Try one of their other storefronts if you want to give this business a go.

I wouldn't order it again. The flavor wasn't what I was expecting it be. It definitely was more on the custard side. I got the pesto sandwich, which was perfectly grilled and ratio of ingredients were great. They were out of a bit of ingredients when we went, so it was unfortunate, but they tried to make recommendations based on what we originally wanted. We went during a slow time, so there were a lot of open tables and seats inside. The outside dining area is really pretty.

So although I was the second person in line I was greeted and the 2 girls working yesterday at approximately 3pm were nice. But............... I do have to say the one girl that rang me up handled money and things around the register and went back to work on my sandwich without changing her gloves. She was a pleasant local girl her teeth were quite busted. So although she was nice she had to make sure to be sure to change out her gloves thank you

I love a good sub sandwich and lately the pregnancy cravings for one have been hitting hard. I…read morerecently saw a few reels on social media about the viral Jersey Mike's "Pregnancy Sub" so of course my curious pregnant soul had to try it. I've only been to Jersey Mike's one other time, so it was worth another shot. The "Pregnancy Sub" is basically a BLT on Rosemary Parm Bread, provolone cheese, "Mike's Way" with pickles, banana peppers, pepper relish, and mayo. The young man that made my sandwich was very personable and friendly, he made my sandwich with the utmost care. When I say he loaded it with bacon, I mean he LOADDDDED it. He must've looked at me and said "yup she's eating for 2." I was worried the sandwich would be messy but it was absolutely perfect. First bite was like heaven, in fact my mouth is salivating as I write this review.

It does come as a single link, but it's perfectly portioned for an average breakfast and leaves you feeling full and satisfied without being overly heavy. My husband ordered the country fried chicken and really enjoyed it. The portion size on his plate was especially generous. Of course, we had to try the pancake flight--it was delicious and just the right amount. I love having a variety without feeling overwhelmed. One small note: I ordered a regular drip coffee and found the price a bit steep $5, especially since it only includes one refill--so definitely be sure to ask for it to get your money's worth. Overall, this is a spot we'll absolutely keep coming back to!

Stopped in for a Loco Moco and left feeling like an inconvenience rather than a customer…read more I ordered at the counter and was never offered a place to sit -- despite plenty of open tables. When I was handed a bag and asked if I could eat in, one employee looked to the other, who replied "I guess" -- as if my staying was an imposition. I've been sitting here and haven't been offered so much as a glass of water. To top it off, I ordered my eggs over medium and they came out with a fully hard yolk. A small detail, but it matters -- especially when the rest of the experience is already falling short. Hard to recommend when both the service and the food miss the mark.

SERVICE: Customer service was stellar. They were very attentive and accommodating. PHYSICAL SPACE: Restaurant was clean and even had fly fans on each table. Staff is attentive to wiping tables down.

The wrap with cream cheese, bacon and fresh veggies was perfect and light. The smoothie with fresh coconut cream walls was perfect after a run on the beach. Overall, you're paying vacation prices, but the food choices are healthy for a lighter lunch or breakfast. Parking is limited to a small lot with many popular shops/businesses.

I loved going to this market in Ko Olina! It's convenient for the days you just want to stay within…read morethe general vicinity. It's an ABC store with a made to order kitchen, so you could order hot food as well. They have monthly specials, coffee and other drink options (milk tea, smoothies, etc) - and all the cute souvenirs you could imagine! If you don't see musubi's out, just ask. They may have some in the back. They also have katsu musubi's ($5). We ordered a few things here and everything was pretty good! Even the loco moco was better than the one at our resort... If you order from the smoothie counter (where they have smoothies, açaí bowls, milk tea, pastries and gelato) - get a punch card. There's $5 off once you get 10 punches. Also, you have to pay for parking. Don't try to pass this up. We've seen the tow truck a few times here, doing their job! Overall, it's a great option away from resort prices!

I ordered a beef stew this time with double rice and in their coffee and smoothie area they had mango sticky rice which I have been wanting to try for a while. It was actually really good! It's like having a drink and snack at the same time. Their ube malasada is very good. You can get 2 for $5. I love this market so much and there are plenty of other places to enjoy in the area. I told myself that I would only spend 30 minutes here, but I ended up extending my parking four times. No regrets and no parking ticket.
