Couple restaurant updates

Lawai'a Fish Market is soft opening its 2nd location in the Kukui'ula Market tomorrow. 11 am until Pau. Not sure what the permanent hours will be.

Also, Midnight Bear Bread is targeting a mid-November opening for its new location in Lawai, next to the 7-11 in the old Kiawe Roots location.

Here’s the latest on a couple of Kauai restaurant updates for those in the Lawai and Kukui’ula areas:

First, Lawai’a Fish Market is opening a second location in the Kukui’ula Market. They are starting with a soft opening tomorrow, operating from 11:00 am until they run out of food (“Pau”). Exact permanent hours haven’t been announced yet, but this gives locals and visitors an early opportunity to check out the new spot and enjoy their fresh seafood offerings.

Secondly, Midnight Bear Bread is planning to open a new location in Lawai. The target is mid-November, and the location is next to the 7-11 in the former Kiawe Roots spot. This is exciting news for fans of their artisan breads and baked goods, as it will provide easier access for residents and tourists in the southern Kauai area.

Key things to keep in mind:

  • Soft openings often have limited menus, so expect fewer options initially at the new Lawai’a Fish Market location.
  • Hours may change after the soft opening as the staff and management adjust to customer flow.
  • Midnight Bear Bread’s new Lawai location may have special promotions or limited items initially, typical for new openings.

Both openings are great additions to the Kauai food scene, especially for those exploring the south shore around Lawai and Kukui’ula. It’s worth checking social media or calling ahead for the most up-to-date hours once the locations settle into regular operations.
