I was just in Kauai last August. Beautiful, beautiful island.
For a nice lunch check out:
http://www.scottysbbq.com/
One entire wall of the restaurant is open and faces the beach/ocean. Every table has a view. Low key casual place. Great food for the price.
Also check out Kintaro for sushi. It's on that one highway on the way to Kapaa. Ask any local. They'll know it. I think it's only open for dinner. Get there early right when they open. There's always a line.
For snorkel gear rentals check out:

If you want a fancy schmancy souvenir to keep. Willam & Zimmer Woodworks is a local store that makes handcrafted Koa wood boxes and bowls. They are right by Walmart/HiloHattie. You can't miss it.
For one stop shopping for snacks, souvenirs, sunblock, bathroom stuff,,,, I hate to say it but, nothing on the island beats Walmart for price and convenience.
I'm sure i'm forgetting a ton of stuff. I'll post again from home if i remember.
