    I've been to Tali's in Ward Centre...soon to be redeveloped. They serve authentic NYC bagels...and…read moreare award winning, in that regard. Initial visit to Tali's Bagels and Schmear in Kailua, on Hoolai Street. It's in a plaza with Anytime Fitness, L&L, and Kailua Town Pub and Grill. The layout is odd...I felt like I was visiting a pet salon, with the small stalls to the left. There are a couple of tables and a counter near the entrance. I got the Pesto Melt for takeaway. It offers an almond pesto, spinach, arugula, and three cheeses - Muenster, Swiss, and mozzarella. Added scrambled eggs for $2 taking it to $14. Very good if a bit salty. Hours are from 700a till 200p; closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

    Geez, it has to be bad to get 1 star. First and last time here. I was excited to find a bagel…read morespot.... Walking in and the place is sorta wasted space inside and weird cut outs where you can sit and stare at 3 walls. It was between 10-11am when we came. Multiple customers were upset that their orders were missing items or completely wrong. All before I could order. Get to the front to understand they only have two types of bagels and everything else was out. Also sold out of coffee. Horrible. The 3 teens working were exceptionally slow, had no idea what was going on, and it was sheer chaos. Even customers were talking amongst themselves saying there needs to be someone older there who has some leadership skills. The food sucked. One bite into the 20$ bagel and all the contents slid out because the bagel was a brick. What a horrible waste of money and time. Go somewhere else. It's clear the owners give no care about the success of their business running it this way.

FOOD WAS GREAT. the scenery in this place was out of this world, all around comforting. shout out to this spot. definitely coming back.

    This location has a very different layout compared to the kapolei location and both being good…read more I Have always drove past the Kailua one this one is a lot smaller and has a more casual island vibe. The ordering counter and cashier is right as you enter along with thr pastry counter. Same deals with thr kapolei location you order and find your own table and put number so they can find you when your order is up. Inside is airconditioned with around maybe 10 tables and chairs some seat 2 others eat 4 and they also have outside patio seating back and front. The parking can be challenging having maybe 10 -12 spots in their lot and some street parking . Their Menu is a bit more limited than their other location. Sandwiches.. pizza and other stuff oh and coffee. The only thing that wasmt as good as their kapolei location was they didnt have the thin crispy salty cravable fries they only had small bags of chips available The food is always good and the service was real good. The staff gave you an impression where they really valued their customers with greetings with a smile and happy goodbyes. As always a great experience with a great casual setting..fair pricing (nothing is considered "cheap" nowdays) ..good food and friendly staff.

Use to drive all the…read moreway up to the north shore from town almost 10 years ago just to have their burritos so having the Kailua location nearby is even better! Parking: street side Seating: 5 smaller tables that hold 3-4 people each. There is bench seating outside. Service: ordering was quick & easy. Actually receiving our food took a little over 30 mins but it was a weekend and they were slammed! I'd happily wait every time because the burritos really are that good. Food: nothing tastes better than a konos burrito in a to go bag on the beach. I'm a huge fan of the chorizo burrito add avocado & my husband devours the pork one! Can't beat 2 fat burritos for under $40.

I'm a business owner and to me customer service matters more than anything, even when the experience isn't perfect. Kono's stepped up. Everything went well from order through delivery, and the Tube Bagel was fresh and delicious. They were out of something, but called to offer a choice of substitutions. I would share a photo but it's currently passing through my digestive system and not feeling very photogenic at the moment. Ignore that silly disgusting mess attached to my original review, but I will leave the photos up because I think they are instructive for management. Mission Accomplished Kono's Kailua! Not a criticism but I couldn't communicate with the Uber Eats driver through the website app. Whoever it was found me.

This particular…read moreestablishment is tucked in one of the side streets of Kailua, opposite side from Hamakua, where get Oh My Grill, LexBreezy, KFC.. at that end street on the corner. They don't have parking so you have to find street parking. We went to go visit today, Wednesday. They open 8AM to 9PM everyday, and we got there around 10AM ish. Upon entering, you enter through the short wooden gate by sliding it lol. Was all confused because signs said "the Garden to your left, Boardroom to the right", so we kind of passed the entrance, going around the corner, and noticed that there wasn't another entrance on the other side, and that's when we figured the short wooden sliding gate was the entrance lol as you walk in, it's an outdoor establishment, lots of seats everywhere. With this yelp elite experience, we got to have a pizza and a dole whip. They have a menu posted up, and you order at the truck. They don't start serving pizza till 11, so we left cuz we was too early, and wanted to take advantage of our yelp perk, so went to go run errands and came back around 2PM ish. We got a pepperoni pizza, vanilla dole whip, and I ordered a maitai. Pizza was good. Dole whip was good, and Maitai was good. Everything was good! I loved that we got to make our way here to take advantage of my yelp elite perk because if wasn't for this yelp event, on any other normal day, we would just pass this place, not even knowing what this place has to offer! One thing about this place is that it's hotttt, if u go in the day. And for me, alcohol and hotness does not go together lol Since they open till 9, I would think it's probably cooler when sun is down. Love pet friendly places. We got to bring our jellybean with us. Cool spot to chill, have a few. Shout out to Eric for taking care of us. Awesome customer service. Only had him working all morning. Go check this place out. Don't forget to tip :)

    I discovered a hidden gem during our vacation in Oahu, located in Kailua. While parking is limited,…read morethe short walk to this cozy spot is well worth it. We enjoyed an iced Hawaiian latte and an iced coconut milk matcha, both of which were delightful and flavorful. The Hawaiian latte had the perfect balance of coffee and milk, and I couldn't resist adding a blueberry scone to my order--it was absolutely delicious. The service here is exceptional, and the coffee shop also features a small breakfast diner with a diverse menu to satisfy any palate. If you're looking for a place to relax, there's a tranquil, ambient area with soft lighting, as well as a charming back patio. I truly loved the vibe of this place, and I'm confident you will too.

    Rise and Grind used to be my favorite spot, I would go to them exclusively. Unfortunately, they…read morerecently changed their POS system and their rewards. Now everything is a little more expensive and the rewards don't feel rewarding. The tipping point that made me write an update is that they charge almost full price for drip coffee refills. Even starbucks offers refills on regular old black coffee. My husband used to enjoy going in to work on college or read so it was sad to not be able to refill his coffee. The espresso is still good (usually) and the pastries are good. The food items are also tasty. The seating and overall vibe is wonderful, and the workers are nice (the older staff are my fave tho!). They are still my favorite for a london fog, but I stop by less often now.
