    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    I am a senior who has been retired for about 15 years and I like to drive to Kailua from my home in Aiea to shop at Whole Foods. Since Kailua has many quality restaurants, I sometimes have meal someplace in Kailua. This morning, after shopping at Tokyo Central, I walked to Morning Brew to treat myself to a blended matcha frapuccino. When I asked for one the server replied that they don't offer that drink at the Morning Brew. She suggested that I get a Frappuccino shake instead because it has blended ice in it. I paid and sat down to read my phone. There are many seats in the establishment and seems to be that they make use of the space because there seemed to be a local following and almost every seat was taken. I didn't wait very long for my order. The first thing that popped into my mind was that it looked more like an iced coffee than a blended coffee drink. The next thing that I thought of was that the drink looked pretty small to have cost over $9. I went back to sit down and my first sip was disappointing, there was no slushy ice in my drink and for that matter I didn't get any ice at all. I know that I don't get out much and I need to get used to inflation prices, but I will not return and pay for overpriced beverages anymore. The drink tasted OK, but it seemed to get more and more sweeter as drank it. I left feeling disappointed.

    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.

    Parisa H.

    Such a cute coffee shop! The coffee was sooo good! And there's plenty of seating available upstairs- making it a great to study or spend some time reading! I really enjoyed the atmosphere! Didn't try the food but it looked good!

    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!

    Vanilla Macadamia Nut Latte
    Janna C.

    I loved their Vanilla Macadamia Nut Latte so much I had to come try their food and the avo egg toast did not disappoint! Morning Brew holds the title for my favorite coffee on Oahu. I hope to come back one day for this latte!

My only gripe is that it costs a bit much for what you're getting. Flavor is nice and healthy, you don't taste the chunks of dates which I appreciate. But it's still a little more on the bland side but it's good for you! The smoothie doesn't get watery fast at all, so you can enjoy it slowly. If you need a little AC since you've been beaching all day, that's the spot :)

One of the best parts is being able to sit by the water and watch the boats come and go while enjoying your coffee. It feels calm and unhurried, making it a great spot to catch up with friends, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet morning. They also have an impressive pastry selection and a wide variety of drink options, so there's something for everyone. The service is consistently friendly and efficient as well. The staff are welcoming, and even when the café is busy, orders come out surprisingly quickly. Between the waterfront views, relaxing ambiance, great menu selection, and excellent service, Island Brew is definitely a place I'd recommend to both locals and visitors looking for a laid-back coffee shop experience.

I expected it to be good, but wow - this place is AMAZING. Upon entering their cafe you are greeted by an amazing curation of plants lining an outdoor seating area. I can see this being such a wonderful area to relax and hold outdoor events. The sunshade over the outdoor area really represents the thought that was put into it for patrons of their cafe. The drinks were absolutely perfect and some of the best I have had on-island - and I go to a lot of cafes. This was just next level and they know exactly what they are doing. The barista who took our order (Kaya) was so gracious to explain and recommend what drinks would be great to try for a first-timer. I opted for the ceremonial grade matcha Wakaba (hot) no sugar, no milk, just straight matcha, and my dad got the pour-over (hot) Kau Delvin Navarro Pacamara Washed. Both drinks were excellent in addition to the signature Matcha Basque Cheesecake which paired perfectly with the drinks. My matcha was extremely smooth and paired perfect with the cheesecake. My dad's pour-over drink changed flavors as you kept drinking it. Definitely next-level stuff. This was honestly one of the best cafe experiences I have had so far and I hope I can come here more often because it has earned its spot as one of my most favorite cafes on-island.

The iced latte wasn't bad...if anything, the espresso was nice and strong! I didn't understand the long line before lunch, unless Holoholo is the best handcrafted coffee on Kaneohe, or that it's conveniently located across from Windward Mall? This is probably one of those coffee snob reviews lol... my husband makes lattes from our espresso machine every day and I'm in the middle of learning how to make lattes myself. Don't get me wrong though... if you're tight on time, but need caffeine and happen to be in Kaneohe, Holoholo hits the spot! Support local!
