Sprawling views of Kealakekua Bay far below make this terrace deli a favorite stop, and all menu items are homemade. Breads and desserts, pizza and pastries---just try to choose. The family owns the surrounding coffee orchard, Kahauloa Estate, and estate coffee is for sale. Relax on the lanai with a double espresso, a roast beef sandwich or a scrumptious piece of carrot cake and you'll leave charged up for the next part of your drive.
