    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
    Robert R.

    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!

    Jessica D.

    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!

    Nice place to have family brunch after church in fresh air…read more Food: We like the sandwiches! The BLTA is a favorite-BLT with Avocado, Big Boy Sammie, and breakfast burrito were very tasty today. The Belgian waffles are cakier than some places. Service: pleasant, friendly, efficient for a small place. Location -convenient to find on a Main Street in Kailua, near the Sunday market. Parking is harder to find. If you can't find street parking, it might be easier to park in the Manoa Chocolate parking lot -with metered parking.

    I do love Lilikoi…read more.. So you know I was surprised to see a beautifully painted building of a surfer girl, octopus tentacles and cute classic VW bus and had to see what was there and it's located right down the street from the Aloha Home Market which is the reason I was in Kailua and after a bit of browsing I got hungry and knew I had to see what Lilikoi Kitchen had to offer. Slightly confused as it shares a small space with a tattoo parlor though walking in the do make the most of the space as there's a service area where there's two ladies doing it all and immediately informed me that it will take approximately 25 minutes for any orders which is great to know upfront. Menu is quite impressive for this cute cafe and though there are many items that caught my cravings it has to have Lilikoi...right!? Monte Cristo is ham, provolone cheese with Lilikoi jam grilled between Japanese style white bread and Lilikoi Iced Tea is the perfect pairing on this Sunday afternoon and gosh what a treat! The cheese pull was insane and the grill was done with perfect marks as you can see it wasn't rushed and grilled perfectly and I loved that it came with some greens and of course Lilikoi dressing...yum! There are some high bar type seating inside but decided that the outside was much more comfy and really enjoyed it all the iced tea was perfectly balance with Lilikoi, the wait can be avoided with a phone order but I rarely plan that early and had no idea it even existed but will be back for the other items. Thank you!

The ordering counter and cashier is right as you enter along with thr pastry counter. Same deals with thr kapolei location you order and find your own table and put number so they can find you when your order is up. Inside is airconditioned with around maybe 10 tables and chairs some seat 2 others eat 4 and they also have outside patio seating back and front. The parking can be challenging having maybe 10 -12 spots in their lot and some street parking . Their Menu is a bit more limited than their other location. Sandwiches.. pizza and other stuff oh and coffee. The only thing that wasmt as good as their kapolei location was they didnt have the thin crispy salty cravable fries they only had small bags of chips available The food is always good and the service was real good. The staff gave you an impression where they really valued their customers with greetings with a smile and happy goodbyes. As always a great experience with a great casual setting..fair pricing (nothing is considered "cheap" nowdays) ..good food and friendly staff.

Water is self-serve, and the setup feels more like a cafeteria than a traditional sit-down restaurant. That said, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant experience. I usually order the chicken pesto sandwich, which is always a great choice, but today I decided to branch out and try the Beach Burger and the Margherita Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and definitely worth ordering again. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a relaxed, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a beachfront café, even if you're not right on the sand. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, a laid-back environment, and friendly service. I'll definitely keep coming back.

    It's everything... I…read moredon't mean just the bagel...where have I been? I do visit Kailua as a getaway for some personal time on my days off and probably didn't think twice since we do have Tali's in town and love to visit the Lokahi Markets here but since fellow Elite Jackie K loves bagels though that this would be the perfect way to start our morning. Which is in Kailua Center along with several other biz so parking is free but shared is a generous amount that's very appreciated in this neighborhood that is one of the biggest challenge to find but at this early in the day it's super easy to find right in front of the front door. Walking in I loved the vibe very open and with the service counter in the back the guys there are just so nice and friendly while being patient as we scan their menu which is slightly different from town but knew that I wanted a sandwich...and it was the Tuna Melt. Topped with cheddar, Swiss (no sprouts) you're also able to top your sandwich with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumber (no onion) is amazing and absolutely loved it and with the staff suggestion of Everything bagel was it and loved it. While they do have coffee that's about it and nothing much else as I really wanted water they were polite enough to offer tap water...not for me. Their seating is fun as some of the tables are privately divided but very adorably decorated. There is truly a reason they won 1st for Bagel is they certainly know what they're doing and is nice to have them in a couple of locations along with various types and mini size as well for the flight or just a simple bite to schmear or not to schmear is the question as here you have that and so much more.

They don't have parking so you have to find street parking. We went to go visit today, Wednesday. They open 8AM to 9PM everyday, and we got there around 10AM ish. Upon entering, you enter through the short wooden gate by sliding it lol. Was all confused because signs said "the Garden to your left, Boardroom to the right", so we kind of passed the entrance, going around the corner, and noticed that there wasn't another entrance on the other side, and that's when we figured the short wooden sliding gate was the entrance lol as you walk in, it's an outdoor establishment, lots of seats everywhere. With this yelp elite experience, we got to have a pizza and a dole whip. They have a menu posted up, and you order at the truck. They don't start serving pizza till 11, so we left cuz we was too early, and wanted to take advantage of our yelp perk, so went to go run errands and came back around 2PM ish.

And for me, alcohol and hotness does not go together lol Since they open till 9, I would think it's probably cooler when sun is down. Love pet friendly places. We got to bring our jellybean with us. Cool spot to chill, have a few. Shout out to Eric for taking care of us. Awesome customer service. Only had him working all morning. Go check this place out. Don't forget to tip :)
