Hidden gem alert! My husband and I were staying at the shereton and walked over to the shops behind the hotel to browse and ran across this sandwich shop. So glad we did. To start, the service was quick and friendly, even though it was very crowded. I got the MOA sandwich which is their chicken sammy . We did have to wait a little for our sandwiches but it was so busy we understood. While waiting , I looked around the restaurant and it was so cute and quaint with local items they were selling. When we got our food, I was shocked at how big the sandwich was. It tasted amazing and I even saved a half of a sandwich for dinner. Will definitely tell friends about this place. read more

Shipwreck - MOA - Sandwiches Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

This place is a hidden little gem on Kaua'i in the midst of a cute shopping center. My wife and I were shopping around when we decided to swing in and check out their menu, which had a lot of tasty sounding options. Staff were very polite and welcoming, and the small sandwich shop had quite a few customers inside. I ordered The Beast, which has roast beef, slow cooked onions, au jus, and delicious horseradish sauce on it - truly fantastic! If we were staying longer on Kaua'i I'd certainly swing back in for a second go at another sandwich! read more

Our sandwich was super tasty. That roll is so crisp and tangy. We had MOA with chicken arugula and buffalo sauce. Not too sweet or goopy.

Hummm. Picked up 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, 2 side salads, 2 cookies, 2 chips, and 2 drinks to take to the beach. The sandwiches were okay, but the French bread was odd, it was chewy and bland. The sandwich was also light on meat. Then I asked for a bag. Mind you I had 12 items that I was carrying to the beach, which I had stated. She pulled out a school lunch size bag, I asked if they had something larger, she pulled out something slightly larger that still clearly could not hold our 80$ purchase. I know not giving out bags willy nilly is good for the environment, but this is also a tourist town and I didn't not bring my shopping bags with me. I feel no need to return. read more

This was a great little find for a restaurant alternative. There isn't any inside dining, but there is seating in the adjoining outdoor areas. The couple of times we were here was for takeaway meals. We'd take our salad and sandwich on our Hawaiian adventures for lunch. As you can see from my pic, we had the First Class Upgrade sub sandwich. There were plenty of fresh sandwich meats and fresh greens. The house vinaigrette hit the spot with us. The bread held up well on its travels with us. Also pictured, is The Chopped Italian salad. This was packed with plenty of meats and cheeses. The lettuce was fresh and, like the sandwich, the red wine vinaigrette was good. This salad also travelled well for us. read more

Needed something quick for lunch so we stopped into shipwreck. Didn't tell us how long it would take until after we had already paid, and they said 20min for two sandwiches!! They better be delicious for waiting 20min and spending $18 per sandwich, but alas. I got "full ham" with smoked ham, pickled onion, romaine, and pineapple relish with the cheese removed. It was good, but definitely not amazing. My wife got "the bird" which was mainly turkey and cranberry cream cheese, and she really enjoyed it. For $18 you should really get chips and/or a drink with it, but I guess they are geared more towards tourists with money. Not sure that I'd return since there are so many options in the complex. There are two lone chairs on opposite sides of the shop and a picnic table outside, but that's pretty much it for options. read more

I really wanted a sandwich on this trip, sometimes the the simplest thing can be so very tasty and that's sandwiches to me. This place was walking distance from the resort I was at and they had a good variety of different sammies. I drove tho. I got the bird, it was good, but I should have gotten the tree hugger cause that was calling my name. It was a bit on the saltier side, but satiated the need for a sandwich. I think what made me confused is I was expecting it to be slightly sweeter, but not an issue and I was surprised that the French bread was actually a croissant, again not incorrect, but maybe I was expecting a baguette? I am not sure that the croissant was house made, had a Kirkland vibe to it, which isn't horrible, but for 17+ dollars I could have done that myself. Staff was nice. Food was alright, would go back for a sandwich, but I'd order something else. read more

Pretty good sandwich spot in Koloa. We were in the area after doing a humid and exhausting hike and thought a sandwich would be good. It's in a neat shopping center with tons of other stores and restaurants, which is convenient. Lots of parking as well. It was not very busy on a Tuesday morning. I got the Moa, which was delicious. I like blue cheese and onions together and this sandwich had both! I was also eyeballing the caprese but wanted something with some protein. Takes about 10-15 minutes for the order to be ready but there are plenty of places to shop or sit and wait. read more

Great sandwiches!! Hidden gem in the shopping mall and my 3 boys loved the sandwiches. A bit pricey but very good

Came here in 2024 and it was amazing. Came again late 2025 and it was the worst overpriced sandwich I've ever had. Might as well rename to mini torpedos cause you get the smallest sandwich that can easily fit in my 4 year olds hand. Two fit in the brown bag. Spoiler that's not supposed to work... Don't recommend - understand inflation has hurt businesses but how they handled it is by destroying quality. Would pay 20 bucks for a full and delicious sandwich but 17 for a crap one is a joke read more

They make a good sandwich service was great very friendly sandwiches came out promptly. Great spot to grab sandwiches before a hike or any activity on the island. read more

Shipwreck is a solid lunch spot in Koloa. My husband had the Going Full Ham sandwich (Ham, Gruyere Cheese, Pickled Onion, Shredded Romaine with Pineapple Relish on Toasted French Bread) and really enjoyed it! I had a taste, and it was totally not my vibe, but that's ok! I had the Greek salad (Mixed Greens Tossed with Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Green Peppers, Kalamata Olives, Red Onions, Feta Cheese and Red Wine Vinaigrette). It was pretty good, but nothing special. It was nice to have some fresh veggies during our vacation foods of mostly fish and fruit :) Once our order was placed, it took about 25 minutes to come out. There were only a few people who came in after us, so I'm not sure if they had a lot of online orders or what. Once we ordered, they directed us to sit and wait at the picnic table outside. I would love to return and try one of the sandwiches! read more

We chose to try Shipwreck because of the convenience of location. The reviews were mixed, so we figured we'd see for ourselves. Unfortunately we can't say much to combat the negative reviews. I called them at 10:15am to see if we could pre order, no answer- so we drove down there. I understand that rent is high around here, but these were weak sandwiches for the price. There's so much potential there with some of their menu items, and they use Boar's Head meats, plus great location. The service at the counter was almost comical, the communication between the 2, then 3, people working wasn't great. The flavors were not there, the menu is small, and skimping on protein is the first thing customers notice. I'd like to add that while I waited 25 min for 2 sandwiches, and 1 kids PB&J- I saw that the sandwich bread was in a bag on the ground, literally next to a pair of shoes. Yum! We won't return. read more

Shipwreck Subs offers some of the best sub sandwiches on the island. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the food preparation is top-notch. This spot is a must-try, with sandwiches packed to the brim with delicious meats and dressings, all served in a welcoming atmosphere. Hatfield Family Lansing. Michigan read more

Great sandwiches! The girl taking our order was very friendly. The sandwiches are around $17 each, but they're pretty big you can share or save 1/2 for later which we did. We got The Beast and The First Class Upgrade which were both very flavorful. The store was cute inside and you can't beat that location. There's a picnic table right outside the store to sit and eat. Overall, would recommend! read more

We had delicious sandwiches from Shipwreck. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The sandwiches (the Moa--a Buffalo chicken; the caprese--fresh mozz and tomato; and the Italian) were huge and full of fresh ingredients with plenty of dressing. We took out, but the outdoor seating area looked inviting. Try it! read more

What a fun place to have an awesome sub sandwich! This little shop makes great subway sandwiches full of flavor and texture. Each sandwich (and I've had several of their offerings) is a full meal and a delight. If you love a good, gourmet sandwich while in Poipu, this is a place to grab one! read more

Save your money! We came here because photos showed they stuffed their sandwiches, perfect for a beach lunch. Our experience was the complete opposite. We were the only ones there (first sign) and it took awhile for our order. When we finally sat down to enjoy the sandwiches we quietly discovered it was most BREAD. We'll never go back. read more

I found the Shipwreck online when searching for a local sandwich shop. I was surprised to see that there were no reviews on Yelp. $17 for a sandwich is steep, however we love Boar's Head deli meat so we decided to give it a try. I ordered The Bird - turkey sandwich. It was delicious but has about 1/2 of the meat as pictured in their website. The bread was toasted and mine was a little hard. I loved the cranberry cream cheese it was tangy and contrasted the dry bread. My husband ordered The Moa - Buffalo chicken and he loved it. He bread wasn't as hard as mine. He said he would order it again with light arugula. The Local Style Potato Mac Salad was delicious too. With drinks, and a bag of chips our lunch was a little over $50. The sandwiches are large sized and we could have split them with our side items. Service: The gal at the register didn't speak to us. It was a little odd. We weren't greeted, and I asked if I could place an order. There was one person that had ordered before us. She got her sandwich about 10 minutes before we did. The wait felt a little long. Seating: No inside seating. There one blue picnic table that we shared with another couple outside of the shop. We hung out with a rooster and lots of birds while we ate. It was entertaining. read more

I always get the first class upgrade or the beast. A perfect sandwich. The owners are delightful as well. Mahalo nui!

Delish caprese - friendly folks. Takeout with benches nearby. Cute little spot. Mall is a bit dead these days but some cute spots like this

Selection of sandwiches and desserts are right on point. Kid friendly menu at the perfect price point that won't break the bank while allowing the adults to enjoy the amazing creation of sandwiches available. I would highly recommend this stop for locals and visitors alike. Go hit them up! read more

Tasty sandwiches, but it feels overpriced for what it is. I appreciate the meat is Boars Head but a $17 sandwich that is not exceptionally large feels like not enough value for your money. We ordered ahead and the process was seamless, but probably would not rush to return based on the cost alone. read more

Not a fan. Sandwiches are mostly thick Tasteless bread. The MOA was described roasted chicken breast. Actually shredded chicken with no taste, drowned in buffalo sauce. Will not order here again. Took forever and quality and taste was lacking. read more

These sandwiches were amazing! We got them close to opening for a beach lunch later. They kept very well and were delicious once we decided to eat them! Will come back before leaving for sandwiches for our flight back! So delicious! read more

Have been hoping for a sandwich shop on the south side for a long time. But this was not what we wanted. WHERES THE MEAT? $17 sandwich?!!!! Bread roll is bready and chewy. Total jaw workout. And the meat was non existent. There's the pic of what we ordered and what we got. Disappointed. Hubby picked up a cookie that tasted like it came out of the freezer. Wasn't fresh. Don't think we will be back. This could be a regular stop for us on the way to the beach but not at these prices for what we got. :( seeing the other reviews this said it would be addressed months ago. Hmm. read more

The sandwiches were tasty and the service was fast, but for the price point it didn't match expectations.

Happy to find a sandwich shop close to the beach that offered gluten free bread! We bought regular sandwiches also. The bird was delicious w raspberry chutney read more

The lady at counter I'm sure she was the owner was so rude when we asked to buy the extra hummus. She gave us a look like she had no idea what we were talking about. She just had this attitude and tried to dismiss us! I would not come back. Waited 30 minutes for a sandwich and hummus at the price they charge not worth it! read more

The food was really great, original sandwiches and great kids grilled cheese. All sandwiches (including the kids) come warm which I didn't know at the time of ordering so be warned! The service was great too but nothing noteworthy when I went. The only complaint is the lack of seating in that shopping center, it's so difficult to find seating on a wet day (which are common in Kauai) so have a plan for where to eat after getting the food! read more

Amazing and unexpected! I went in thinking ok, how else can we make a sandwich... and then found out how! What a twist! I had the Moa, (servers recommendation)which was made on awesome sourdough bread with hot roasted chicken, buffalo sauce and some delicious greens! Then I finished with a Greek salad and was again met with an exciting salad made just the way I remember Greek salads. Lots of olives, onion, tomatoes and feta over arguably the coldest greens I have been served on this island in over 15 years! Well done!!! And Thank you! I will be back soon! read more

Nice sandwiches and salads. Loved the peanut noodles and caprese sandwich. Perfect for a beach day lunch

We were the first ones Hereford lunch. I had the cranberry turkey sandwich. They added argula for me. My hubby got the roast beef and I liked the horseradish. My friend got the noodle salad and she ate every bite. The sandwiches are large enough to share. The cookies are yummy too. The staff were kind and promptly served our food with a smile. The ambiance is not great as we sat outside on a picnic table to eat. The food is five stars but the seating options are not stellar so take it to go! read more

Sandwich's sound great, but they either buy or use cheap bread. I might give it another chance.

Snorkeling wore us out so we were looking for sandwiches to take back to our room for lunch. Friendly staff and sandwiches were delicious: the Bird and First Class Upgrade. You could easily share or save for later as others noted. read more
