Cold brew with vanilla cloud  Matcha with strawberry puree  Iced strawberry black tea
Megan C.

This cafe has become my go to coffee/matcha stop on my morning commute or for a mid-day treat. Plenty of parking in the lot off of Pensacola, or in the loading zone on King St if just picking up. The online order function (Toast) is convenient but service is quick even when ordering in person. There are some benches in the laundromat and space to stand outside, usually more of a quick stop for me. I'm glad there's a solid place near my work and I'm looking forward to trying the July specials!

Iced Hapa Latte

Tried their Iced Hapa Latte this morning and it was so yummy! Not overly sweet which I liked. Wish I got their bigger size - will definitely order again, but I think it's from their monthly menu. Forgot to take a pic of their menu, but I believe the iced hapa latte was a white mocha latte topped with a chocolate pudding cloud! So so good! When you're waiting for your drink, just be mindful of where you stand. Depending on the time you go, there can be ppl walking by or riding their bikes/skateboard.

Da early morning grind... Open daily at 7am already has me loving this place along with lots of free parking that it does share with the laundromat it share space with though it is more of an express as you place your order and pick up though a window and yes no seating to casually enjoy your sip the simplicity of it all is nice. With lots of varieties to choose from the usually espresso coffees, dirty sodas and teas they have a monthly special items and Specialty Lattes as well. Matcha-Nana Latte is their version of the Matcha Banana Pudding and it was nice to strong with the banana flavor but definitely was slightly there though not the best matcha I had it was still very up there in comparison to many others. I love that I could get a cup at 7 in the morning as many do open after 10am isn't in the cup for me with my work schedule. The service is very nice and friendly though the vibe is not the reason you're hear for knowing that you're able to come as early in the morning is convenient and appreciated. Thank you!

I finally got to try Da Morning Grind after having it bookmarked for about a month. A friend picked it up for me, so I can't speak much about the atmosphere or the shop itself, but I can definitely say the matcha was delicious. I ordered the Matcha Nana (banana matcha), and it was perfect. The sweetness level was just right for me, and the banana flavor was excellent--almost like a banana bread latte in matcha form. My friend placed the order online, which seemed super convenient and made the whole process easy. Based on this first experience, I'll definitely be stopping by the shop in person soon!

International Tea Day in Honolulu, Hawaii... I searched "tea" on my Yelp app and found Da Morning Grind Cafe. Located on the corner of King Street and the left side of Pensacola Street, Da Morning Cafe shares a free parking lot with King Laundromat. I ordered at the outside window on the King Street side of the building. Service was very friendly - especially because it was the worker's second day on the job. She introduced me to the owner and didn't want to be in the photo. That's how I got a photo of the owner. Haha! This is a takeout only business. It was on the windy, noisy, sunny side with many cars passing by. I had my Peach honey green tea in the car. It was light and refreshing! I would return because of the convenient location.

Matcha with Ube Cloud & Ube Sago
Suri S.

Hidden coffee shop newly opened located inside the Laundromat. Nice and friendly folks. Ordered: Iced Sago Matcha Latte with Ube Sweet Cloud and Sago. Really great flavor combination with matcha and slight chew from the Ube sago. Would be a great spot to grab a drink if you need to do laundry.

Da Morning Grind Cafe is conveniently located in town, on King Street--in Kings Laundromat. You can order inside the laundromat or outside at the window. I toon advantage of their online ordering system for a 7:15AM pickup. They were so efficient that my drink was ready 10 min early! I enjoyed a small iced mac nut latte, less sweet. I appreciated the customization options even on their online platform. Keep in mind that some customizations cost extra. My drink was $6.02 with tax. Not bad at all, given the prices of comparable drinks from other businesses! This cafe is more of a grab and go kind of place. Great for those working, studying or running errands. Curious about their matcha and dirty sodas. Will be back! Customer service was excellent. Very friendly staff.

Requested a June special: Iced Hapa Latte. When I think hapa latte; I'm expecting an espresso-based beverage with matcha, haupia, and / or coconut flakes...but in this instance it was a white mocha wiith a chocolate pudding cloud. This could be renamed the Iced Kanaka Maoli Colonizer Latte - jk - I let my intrusive thoughts creep into the review. Iced Hapa Latte: special. I hope it becomes a part of their regular menu. Sweet but not overwhelming. If you aren't as keen on mochas like myself...perhaps a white mocha, such as this bevvy, is an alternative. Previously, I had an Iced Matcha Sago. Usually, you don't encounter sago drinks outside of a bubble milk tea shop. Sago ( derived from the sago palm ) is lighter in color and softer in texture than boba. You choose your milk, cloud, and sago with your matcha drink. If I recall correctly - I had this beverage with whole milk, a honey cloud, and condensed milk sago. It was good. There are many permutations of this drink...so I'll likely try another variation. Da Morning Grind Cafe is on the corner of Pensacola Street and South King St. Open from 700a to 300p on weekdays; close at 12 noon on the weekends. They have a King St. window to place orders but they have separate orders and pickup windows inside King Laundromat. They have a small parking lot...though it gets busy with laundromat customers. There is a window outside on King St. to place an order, then get your coffee. You can also enter the laundromat - there's a window for ordering and another for pickup.

Menu from inside the laundry mat

Very unusual to see a little cafe take out connected to a laundry mat but it's super cute. While doing your laundry you can order a pick me up. I got the chamomile lavender tea with honey and it's really good since I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Definitely want to come back to try their matcha strawberry which looks so ono

Iced Peach Green Tea, Iced Mocha Latte, and Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte.
Nicole S.

What nice addition to this section of King Street! Come down Pensacola and find this little cafe tucked inside a new laundromat. Parking is right off of Pensacola, across from Kaiser. You can enter through the laundromat or find the other pick up window on the King Street side. Workers are super friendly! I really enjoyed my strawberry matcha with almond milk! Strawberry purée was so good, wish I got a bigger size! Matcha was spot on. Will be back to try the Experiment 626 next time!

Medium 16oz Strawberry Matcha latte
Han P.

My coworker told me about this spot. I am SO ecstatic that there is a great Matcha place by my work building! The matcha is rich and not watered down. So satisfying! I ordered the 16oz Strawberry matcha latte. The strawberry purée was a bit too thick to stir but it tasted great and eventually blended well with the Matcha. Can't wait to try the coffee lattes as well! This is right around the corner at Pensacola and S. King St. where the laundromat is located. The small window has a button to ring the bell and the menus were posted right next to it so you won't miss it. The staffs are very friendly! Will definitely comeback here again.

Excited there's a new local coffee spot in the area!! Looking forward to trying their other beverages next time!
Donna L.

Yay!!!! I'm so happy there's a new local coffee place in the area (especially since Raintree is now closed). What a great, convenient spot to pick up espresso drinks from! Practical and conveniently located, with a takeout window only. This is a no frills, solid option, for those who need better-than-average caffeine on-the-go!

The banana matcha and hapa latte
Kayla T.

Da Morning Cafe located on the corner of South king street and Pensacola. I went at about 7am and they have a small take out window, it's definitely hard to miss so it feels like a very hidden gem. The menu is pretty diverse with different types of matcha and coffee. The matcha is on the darker side and less creamy than other places. I had the banana matcha and we also got the hapa latte. Both not too sweet which I enjoyed! Would go back to try a different drink, service was also super quick so we didn't wait long.

I stopped by here yesterday morning for a coffee and a malasada. While traveling I try to hit up a…read morenew local coffee shop every day and on this morning it happened to be Maleko Coffee and Pastries. This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

I came in because I saw that they had vegan donuts. He said I could do guava, blueberry, or plain,…read morebut he recommended the guava. It was less than three dollars including tax, so definitely affordable. The guava filling was great, but the donut itself was kind of bland. If it weren't so cheap, I would have given it three stars. But it was a good deal and I might go back.

The Lava Mocha is hands down my favorite mocha I've ever had. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. It was the reason I came back and waited! Mauna Kea Iced Coffee is my FAVORITE coffee of all time. I will be drooling over this coffee until I return. It has coffee, sea salt caramel, a scoop of ice cream, and black sea salt. Already it sounds delicious and it was. I finished my drink within 5 minutes. I didn't order any food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The menu is extensive with plenty of options, making it a great place for brunch whether you're craving something sweet or savory. The café also has a small section selling Island Vintage merchandise, which is fun to browse while you're waiting. If you choose to sit outside, don't be surprised if a few birds decide to join you for breakfast and they're regulars too.. Overall, despite the longer wait for drinks, the quality of the coffee, inviting atmosphere, and tempting menu make this a spot I'd happily visit again.

Ala Moana location - closed. Royal Hawaiian Shopping center…read morelocation - closed. This is the only standing Kulu Kulu and I hope this place does not close, or if it does relocate, come closer to Central Oahu where the rent is cheaper, haha (hint). This location is on the outer edges of Waikiki on Hobron Lane in Eaton Square. I rarely venture to Waikiki, and if I do make the dreaded drive to "town", this place and Kan Sushi will be the only regular places where I will make my stop(s), because its so worth it. I've had a long-standing love-affair with Kulu Kulu from the Shirokiya Food Court location with it's waffle bears and Hello Kitty waffles, the takeout Nama Chocolate cups stocked at Mitsuwa Marketplace and now here, in town. The Ube Coconut Mousse $6.95 blew our minds, it was THE best tasting thing, ever. Both the ube and the coconut were not cloying, and as with all of their treats, not overly sweet either. That's why I love Japanese pastries, they get the sweetness just perfect and I have no idea how they mastermind that ratio! Strawberry Panna Cotta $5.95 was creamy, flavorful, delicious and surprisingly light and refreshing for such a creamy dessert. I normally don't get this kind of combination of flavors, and it tasted like something you'd get in a Michellin-rated establishment. Looking back at the photos, I see vanilla bean seeds in the panna cotta, so every loving detail and nuance shows through with each mouthful. Nama Chocolate $5.75 is my go-to chocolate LOVE. It's cut into cool creamy semi-sweet squares dusted with cocoa and it melts in your mouth! This is my favorite of all things that Kulu Kulu makes. I actually enjoy this better than the famous Royce Chocolates from Japan. We ordered another seasonal Strawberry dessert slice cake but it was eaten before I could review (and/or taste it); I've heard it was very very delicious. This place is so good that I plan to bring my friends who will be visiting from Virginia here to try their pastries. I also plan to support this business for as long as I can and make more frequent trips to town just to get these amazing desserts.

Consistently the best reminds me of Japan…read more Thank you CHRIS My family enjoys their beautiful delicious talented cakes for each birthday and special occasion We need a CAKE CLUB CARD because we buy so many cake$$$
