Deli restaurants in Hawai'i (The Big Island)

  1. Punalu'u Bakeshop

    This, the island's best-known sweet bread bakery, is Na'alehu's major tourist attraction, and it's a mandatory tour-bus stop. Its sweet bread comes plain or in the brightly colored flavors of guava, liliko'i or taro. Snack on a pastry or malasada, or grab a salad or sandwich to go from the deli (steer clear of the mediocre plate lunches). A small lawn bordered by flower beds out back is prime for picnicking.

    Bong Brothers

    Your best bet for food in Honaunau is vegetarian deli take-out from Bong Brothers, a small health food and gift store located in an historic 1929 building. The green papaya salad is delicious, as are the smoothies, soups, curries and burritos. Organic produce fills baskets on the front porch, and a rocking chair there is perfect for watching the characters come and go.

    Kilauea General Store

    For groceries, pickings are slim at both Volcano Store and Kilauea General Store. The best trail lunch will be leftovers from the night before (Hint: think Thai).
