About
A Masterclass in Island-Style Deli Fare
Tucked away in the heart of Kihei, this sandwich shop serves as a reliable fuel station for beach-goers and locals craving bold, unpretentious flavors. If you find yourself wandering near the South Maui coastline, the scent of toasted bread and house-made sauces acts as a beacon leading you toward their doorstep.
Crafted for the Maui Lifestyle
The menu leans heavily into creative deli classics. Their signature creations, like the Roast Beef melt or the Turkey Avocado, arrive stacked high enough to challenge your jaw. Every sandwich is constructed with precision, featuring ingredients that favor quality over flash. The bread is consistently toasted to a crisp, providing a satisfying crunch that gives way to tender, flavorful fillings. It is the kind of food designed to be eaten on a tailgate or hauled down to the sand at nearby Kamaole Beach.
The Local Pulse
Expect a casual, fast-paced environment where the line often snakes out the door during the lunch rush. The staff moves with a frantic efficiency that borders on an art form, keeping wait times surprisingly low despite the constant flow of hungry surfers and residents. While the interior seating is limited and the space can get quite loud during peak hours, most diners grab their foil-wrapped treasures to go. Be prepared for a bit of a parking challenge in the surrounding plaza, but once you unwrap a sandwich that still retains the heat of the grill, you will quickly forget the struggle to find a spot. For those navigating the Kihei food scene, this shop remains a cornerstone of reliable, high-value dining that sidesteps the typical tourist traps.

This place was recommended to us when we were flying from Oahu to Maui. We were excited to try it. The food was good, fresh and the staff was very friendly. The wait was not long, and there was plenty of seating. We had a group of 10 and we were able to find a table. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Amazing food and such a relaxing atmosphere! I tried the Porkie Panini and it literally melted in my mouth. The soup of the day was also delicious - really well-balanced and flavorful. The place feels very welcoming and kid-friendly too, with high chairs available for little ones. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

Best Reuben ever! My favorite deli on the island. Amazing service, served hot and ready! Best pricing in Maui. Appreciate the daily specials they are always delicious. I’m a frequent customer and always amazed. The French dip has an amazing au jus with plenty of flavor. Highly recommend. It’s a great atmosphere for families and couples for a yummy lunch!

The relaxing atmosphere is family friendly. The menu is easy to read and a nice selection. The sandwich I ordered was the turkey and it was sooooo delicious!!! I got the side pickle at $2. Worth it! The sandwich was $13 and so are a lot of the other items. My hubby got the shiitake mushroom and steak hoagie. He enjoyed immensely!

I went here multiple times for breakfast. The burrito was great and so was the BLT! I loved the pork belly pieces and sauce! It's also near a smoothie place and coffee shop!

Italian cold sandwich was a little bit weak when it comes to meat maybe like 4 slices if that lol. Usually Italian sandwiches have a lot of it but not at this place. I recommend custom made sandwich. Ingredients are fresh and delicious! Good place for lunches. Just not for Italian sammi!!!

Great little local deli really good sandwiches salads daily soups they make several salads fresh. Good service, reasonable prices. My only complaint is they have two registers, however, when you call in an order you still have to get in line with everyone else at the one register.
