Takeout lunch from Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i...
After my 5-star experience at the Kahala location of Great Harvest Bread, I wanted to compare it to the Kailua location...
Wow...
I thought that it couldn't get better, but it did!
The Kailua location of Great Harvest Bread has free street parking; has friendly service that also offered me a sample of the Monkey Bread; and also had high quality products.
What makes it different from the Kahala location?
This Kailua store seems bigger, brighter,
has better air-conditioning; and
has a few tables and chairs for dining in (or for waiting for your sandwich to be made).
The gal behind the counter was very competent. She managed three customers at the same time by herself! I arrived first, so I got more of her attention. She told me about the Monkey Bread and sold me a mini loaf which breaks apart into three pieces. They weren't wrapped up yet because they were cooling off... that's how fresh they were!
I told her that I really wanted a Ruben sandwich for my sister (who is obsessed with it) and saw that it was hand-written into the menu - the Kahala location didn't have it written.
She asked me what kind of bread I wanted... that's when I decided to get a second Ruben - to compare the bread: Honey Whole Wheat vs. Rosemary Garlic.
The verdict: both were excellent!
We enjoyed both sandwiches equally!
I'm looking forward to returning!
