    Honey Lavender Latte
    Gil G.

    Service was quick and efficient. Presentation of Latte Art was lacking or possibly a depiction of the Outer Bands of Hurricane Lowell? Competitive Kailua Pricing to entice our Island visitors to spend even more for rent in paradise. Taste was very good, higher temp would have been better. The milk for the Latte portion cooled it down too much. Morning Brew continues to be a good anchor for this mall.

    Neat Coffee house post Beach visit. Mac Vanilla Latte

    We had a recent Beach excursion and needed a little caffeine for the drive back to Waikiki. I had liked the vibe upon walking in. Nice Ambiance and record player on display. There is a 2nd deck for more seating space. I had a nice Vanilla Macadamia latte with Almond milk, The gals here were very friendly and helpful. Neat little shop in a Plaza near the Beach. Tasty Latte and definitely not too sweet.

    What a find! Inside of Kailua Town Center is Morning brew. The staff here is so friendly my little girl.. I wish I got their names. The blonde barista made great recommendations. I got the coco Mac nut and it was delightful. The inside is super clean and has a great local beach vibe feel. I will make this a must stop once I visit again.

    I highly recommend the coconut Thai iced espresso if you're in the mood for a sweet beverage!

    Avo toast

    Second time coming here and it's always a cute vibe. I love the little upstairs area they have with a little more lighting from the windows. It's also looked to be dog or pet friendly. Menu was easy to read, not overwhelming. The line does get long but they are definitely pretty quick with pushing drinks and food out so the wait was not long at all. I ordered a strawberry matcha (more on the bland side) compared to other places I've tried. I also ordered the avocado toast which really good, with the cheese and little salad on the side it was perfect. I will be coming back to try some of their other drinks.

    I enjoyed my first time visiting Morning Brew Kailua. I needed breakfast since i was attending a baseball tournament at Kailua District Park. I noticed this place is always crowded. I decided to check it out! I got the breakfast quesadilla for $15.50 which comes with bacon, egg, cheese, bell peppers, and cilantro aioli and comes with a side of salsa mixed w sour cream. The portion size was good enough to share plus they have two containers of salsa/sour cream mix which was so good. I did takeout and they had a table of extra containers you could take. I halved my quesadilla w my mom and got a 2nd container. The food was so good and was ready in about 7-8 minutes on a sunday morning. it looks like a nice place to eat at, they had tables downstairs and upstairs. I really enjoyed the salsa mixed w sour cream, so ono.

    New menu items! Coco Mac  It Belgian waffles
    Danielle M.

    They have some new menu items, including a cocoa, Mac nut Belgian waffle that was delicious!

    Brew breakfast

    Met friends here for breakfast and got the brew breakfast with eggs, goat cheese, and naan! I don't know what to think but it was delicious. Hopping place. We sat in the top floor but realized needed to clear out as soon as we were done because so many others needed a seat. So maybe not a place to leisurely catch up with friends.

    Inside bottom level
    Sam O.

    Really good breakfast and lunch. The steak tacos were good but a bit too juicy with the salsa crema on top and the pico de gallo, but still tasty. The bottom level and outside is 2hrs max, but the upper level is unlimited time. The (small) mocha is actually HUGE!

    Seasonal pumpkin waffle
    Huy T.

    Food was good, coffee smooth and floral. Solid spot for food and coffee. Not the best I've had but a great choice if in the area.

    Pesto egg croissant sandwich.
    Kendra V.

    This little cafe is easily accessible and has ample parking. The location has indoor seating for eating and a nice upstairs area for working. There is an also a small outside eating area that is perfect for people with dogs. The vibe is trendy and enjoyable. The cashiers and baristas are kind, friendly, and helpful. The food and drinks take a while to be ready, so just be aware of that. The BLT was delicious, well balanced and fresh. The iced latte was not too sweet and well balanced. I was not a fan of the pesto croissant sandwich, I found it plain. I was also not a fan of the lavender latte, it tasted too artificial for my taste. All in all, a cute coffee shop to visit or work with a nice atmosphere, friendly people, and a variety of food and drinks to enjoy.

    If you're looking for a breakfast place or a cafe with a nice variety of drinks and food choices, morning brew is a good option! I had the B.L.A.T. and a latte and both were really good! Reasonably priced, great service, and good food!

    We needed a little pick me up before heading to the beach so we decided to check out this coffee shop! There are so many tables so it's perfect for remote workers. There's also a sign asking to be courteous towards people who are working which I thought was so respectful and considerate. We got their coconut iced matcha latte and coconut Thai iced espresso and both were so yummy!

The coffee was clumpy and had noticeable bits of espresso or chocolate debris in the drink, which made the texture unpleasant. The worker was very nice and friendly, so I have no complaints about the service. Their indoor space felt a little crammed as customers were left confused as to where to wait for their drinks. Indoor seating is gone. There used to be a lot of space that added a lot to the ambiance and made ChadLou's feel like a cozy place to enjoy a coffee. Without it, the atmosphere just doesn't feel the same anymore.

It's been a while since I've been here...coffee for takeaway though there is an outdoor patio where seating is available. They sell donuts from L'ili'i Donuts - vegan fare. I mispronounced the name of the bakery...but so did the barista, definitely a tongue-twister. I've had them before at the Kailua Farmers Market. It's a bit dry but tasty. They also offer Sage Creamery pints and cups,...that are tantamount to a Keiki-sized portion. B I had a donut...good...and a keiki cup...very good. If it seems that I am on a quest to find every available retail spot on Oahu to acquire some ice cream from Sage's...well, you are wise to my endeavor. Ube Crinkle was amazfreezing. Traditional macchiato was good.

My sister and brother both got matcha with cold foam, which turned out to be $10 each I got the hojicha with cold foam, my mom got an iced black tea, and we also shared one of their matcha cheesecake desserts. Honestly, the matcha cheesecake was probably the best thing we had, but even that wasn't anything I'd go out of my way for. The biggest shock was when the drinks came out and we saw how small they were. For the price, we were definitely expecting a little more. The cold foam also mixed into the drinks almost immediately, so there wasn't really that distinct creamy layer or flavor you sometimes get with cold foam. I personally like mine a little thicker and more impactful, where you can actually taste the difference as you drink it. The matcha was alright. The hojicha was alright. Nothing was necessarily bad -- I just don't think it was for us, especially at that price point. And listen... I don't care if a matcha is ceremonial grade, premium grade, picked by angels on a mountain somewhere -- it's not just the grade. It's the preparation. And I will stand by that forever! The shop itself is cute, although pretty small inside. They do have outdoor seating, which is nice for Kailua. Overall, we left a little disappointed. I'm glad we tried it, but I think we'll pass next time. Happy Eating, Chass

But seriously, you can end whatever decision making process you have at this moment. They have it all at KP Market (I'm not sure if anyone calls it this, but I do now). Sandwiches, burgers, poke, bowls of various types, coffee, all kinds of bevs. Anything that you could desire to keep you sustained during a day of sun burns and big waves. I can't recall the names of the bowls that we got, but they were exactly what we were looking for. Incredibly generous portions at reasonable prices, and the highest quality of ingredients. I'm pretty sure they gave me an entire fish, and I ate the whole thing. The garlic shrimp that fantastic, and smothered in that buttery-garlic goodness. The star of the show were the accompaniments that brought the whole bowls together. The ube was flavorful and added a great texture. The kimchi was a nice add too, giving these dishes a bite to balance things out. And the sauces were nice, but not overpowering. I'm pretty sure there are a few KP markets around, and you should stop here before whatever adventure awaits for you in Hawaii. I even bought a shirt because this place was so dope.
