This is my go to place for medicine, fruits, teas, & baked goods. They have senior Wednesday 65+, which I didn't know but I'm glad I asked cause they don't tell you! Place is clean wish it was bigger tho but it'll do in kapolei. Service good but don't come early if you need help in the medicine department cause no one is there until 2 cause I came in at 10 & no one was there, I asked for help but i got a guy that just didn't know where things were cause I think he works in the produce section. Sadly I left cause we both just couldn't find it, mind you I called the day before asking if they had the item & the lady said they did. Feeling disappointed

They have certainly expanded since I was in college! I used to go to the one near the university for dried fruit and nuts. They also have salad bar with hot food as well as refrigerated drinks such as kombucha and several aisles of packaged foods, such as tea and cereals. You can count on it being free from crowds and clean.

We purchased the premade 16 inch Mushroom Pizza and there are no instructions on how long to cook for.
I called the store and spoke to Bobbie from the Deli department and she had to ask the cook and let him know there are no instructions for us buyers.
He said it's 425 degrees for 10mins or till golden brown.
Just a a tip for anyone who purchases the premade boxed pizza.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Aloha Kristen. Thank you so much for your review! The Kapolei Deli team will be thrilled to read it. We appreciate your business. :)
May 31, 2023Previous reviewWe enjoy the food selection here at the Kapolei location.
The chef here has a different kick to his dishes that makes it unique compared to the other locations.
My husband helped get out a chronic who walked in and started throwing the food on top of her head and stomping on a banana. This happened a few months back.
Our children also enjoy the food here including our 4 year old.May 22, 2023Previous reviewHands down the Kapolei location has the best service and chefs.
From the drinks to the food everything has a extra special flavor.
We enjoy the pizzas from the Pearlridge location however the items here at Kapolei has an extra fusion of flavors that makes it better then no other.
The staff are also friendly and down to earth.
Our children also enjoy the food here too.
Desserts are melt in your mouth amazing. Blue berry cheesecake is one of our favorites.
The sitting area is perfect for our family size of 5. The over all feel of being in the Kapolei Down to Earth is a comforting feel.
They have samples of their products as you walk in which is great.
The morning cook is kind and she makes the best smoothies and drinks.Nov 17, 2022Previous reviewPricey but they have the BEST cook!!
We have tried the other locations and it just can't be compared to the Kapolei location. Bravo to the chefs at the Kapolei location.
We are weekly regulars. Wish we could buy everything in the store but hey we aren't rich. - Mar 5, 2023
I've been curious about Down to Earth and decided to see what kind of to go meals they offer.
I have had their Açaà bowls with fresh fruit and they are delicious. So I wanted to see what else I might enjoy.
I went during lunch and there were lots of people enjoying their hot meals. They look delicious and I wondered how healthy they were.
I decided on Exotic Curry Fried rice with cranberries Yummy.... There are so many hot dishes available and they smell delicious.
Can't wait to try something new.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 7Oh no 0Business owner information

Aloha Katy,
Thank you for giving us a try and for your nice review. Aloha! - May 15, 2023
Pretty decent for food service inside a grocery story. I added granola to my Makai bowl and it's definitely refreshing, but there wasn't much flavor. The bowl is really big so as I was finishing it, the more I eat, I just realized that the flavor... isn't there. Like I don't actually taste anything, the bowl just tastes cold. The bowl is very pretty but since it comes in a plastic bowl that you're holding, it melts really fast. I ate my sister's açaà bowl and I'm personally not a fan of this flavor in general since it's just the Jamba Juice banana berry, but it's honestly the best açaà flavor I had. Mostly because it's understated, but that becomes a problem it's a flavor that I actually like and want more of.
FYI, you must pay at the grocery checkout first and then pickup your order.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We stopped here to grab lunch before heading out to the nearby lagoons.
The market is very clean and had a tremendous amount of vegan food options.
We ordered at the counter. Salads were fresh and entrees were nice.
My daughter loved her tofu and rice.
Service was efficient and friendly.
This is a great market for vegans to get essentials while in Oahu.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

The tofu salads on bar are good along with purple potato and seaweed salad. Get hawaiian tapioca for dessert.

Parking is super easy since it's located inside a huge plaza. After ordering at the kiosk, make sure to take the receipt to pay at the grocery line register in order to pick up your food!
- Warrior Bowl (without blueberries): Pretty good bowl with a delicious base. However, it did taste a bit watered down the more I ate it. The fruits were super sweet though! 3.5/5.
- Makai Bowl: Similarly, the flavor was slightly lacking as it melted down--not the best blue spirulina base we've tried, but also not the worst. But again, the fruits were really sweet! 3/5.
- One of the fish burgers (I forget the name): My mom really liked the burger. However, the fish tasted more like chicken. It was still really good, but for what it should have been, 4/5.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information
