Great place to have morning breakfast/lunch while working on some non-work things! Food was surprisingly great considering it's a coffee shop. Probably the best coffee shop food I've had. Burrito was filling and fried rice was flavorful. Service is good too, they just bring your food up. It's definitely on the loud side, so bring your headphones. I'd recommend the place to turn the music volume down..it's a cafe not a bustling cocktail bar. Bathroom is at the SALT where everyone else goes to. Pretty inconvenient but whatever I guess. I'd come back! read more

The place is cute and gives off the community space vibes with plenty of seating, indoors and some outdoors. I'm sure the coffee is good, however the turkey panini was expensive and not good. The bread was not what you use for a panini/pressed sandwich. It was like a whole wheat sandwich bread. The turkey wasn't the best, too mch of the fig jam, which overpowered everything, it just didn't work. I sadly only ate a few bites before I threw in the towel. I did take it to go, but did eat it right away. Overall, no bueno on the very overpriced, very underwhelming sandwich. But I'm sure the breakfast/coffee route is seemingly the way to go. read more

My favorite drinks here are the Vanilla Macnut Latte and the Matcha Latte because the ratio is just right. They're flavorful and never watered down. Even the color looks perfect! This time, I tried their food for the first time and ordered the Turkey Melt sandwich. Oh my gosh, it was so good! It had this sweet sauce paired with crispy apples inside the sandwich, and all the flavors came together perfectly. The salad on the side also had a delicious dressing that tasted almost like a smoky meat sauce, but with a slight tanginess to it. Yum!!! We also ordered a burrito, and wow...their burritos are HUGE! They're packed and loaded with everything you could want inside. We got steak with roasted potatoes and some other veggies. The café itself has such a relaxing atmosphere. The high ceilings make the space feel open and inviting, and they even have a second floor seating area. There are beautiful plant decorations, nice artwork, and an overall cozy vibe that makes it a great place to hang out. The staff here are always so, so, so kind and helpful. A special shoutout to Tommy, who was very friendly and took the time to explain the menu items to us. If you're dining in, they give you a table number and bring the food right to your table. How awesome is that?! Hardly any cafés do that these days! Our experiences here have always been great, but this was the first time we tried the food, and it definitely did not disappoint. Everything tasted amazing! Good coffee AND good food? Perfect morning and brunch place! read more

The Morning Brew is such a beautiful cafe.. wow. I would go here everyday. I love the open and cozy vibe with the concrete floors and the plant life around here. They also have a second floor too! I ordered the smoked salmon bagel and I can confidently say that was the best bagel I have ever ate. It was a bit on the pricier side as it was 2 bagels for $18, but it was amazing. It was a nicely crisp bagel to add texture to the softness of the cream cheese and salmon. The staff was very kind and was understanding when I asked them to put my meal in a to-go box instead and have it out earlier than expected because I had to go. read more

Found street parking and looked for a break from the heat to eat breakfast. I walked around and saw another shop with outdoor seating only, then came back to Morning Brew since they had tons of indoor seating. Iced americano and avocado toast was delicious and filling. Service was fast, even if you sit upstairs they will find your table to drop off your food. Pick up your drink at the counter though. Friendly staff and generally quiet, chill environment. read more

Extremely pleasant coffee shop right in the middle of Kakaako. With Starbucks around the corner you would expect this place to struggle but it's quite the opposite. They are busy. The desserts are delicious and the breakfast quesadillas are amazing and the mushroom panini is delicious. Service is quick so don't let the line going out the door influence you. Lots of seating inside, outside, and upstairs looks like a lot of students come here to study and people work from their laptops all throughout the restaurant. read more

It's been years.......and we are still coming back! Is it a good thing to say the food tastes the same? I think so!! Especially when I loved it the first time and every time since. The people working are ALWAYS polite and helpful. Now....this is unique for me, I find that new businesses and old businesses with smaller customer pools (regulars) tend to be the most friendly, except here. They are always so nice, even when they are slammed with people and there is a line out the door! The ambiance is exactly the same (weird bird noises over the speaker the other day was a bit different...but I didn't hate it, although it did have me looking around to see if there was a bird cage...there was not). I'm so glad this place is here....years later! We will be back soon! read more

My go to spot for a good coffee and a nice light breakfast. There are many many coffee shops in this area, but I love Morning Brew. The food here is always consistent and the service is so warm and friendly. Decent seating area, both downstairs and up and several tables outside for that nice alfresco dining. I really like the smoked salmon bagel. I ordered it with a plain bagel and I have them add a Easy over egg. The Schmeer that they put on it with capers and dill is a great touch to the smoked salmon. This is my go to order whenever I come here. They have lots of vegetarian options also. The coffee is always balanced and full bodied without the acidity. Validated parking as well as on street parking make this place of no-brainer. read more

I came here to do some work and it was not too bad of a spot. They have a wide selection of drinks and food items you can order. I ordered an iced Thai latte and a berry cheesecake type of thing from their case. My coffee was ok, it was very milky and not as strong as I would like it to be. The berry cheesecake slice was yummy! Overall, this place gets pretty busy so it's kinda loud and noisy if you do work here but I didn't mind. They have a lot of seating since there's an upstairs as well. read more

Morning Brew is a great place to relax with a cup of coffee, kill time, or get some work done. I recently grabbed breakfast and coffee here while waiting for my car which was in the shop nearby. It's located in SALT Kaka'ako and the neighborhood is very walkable, so it was easy to get to. The space is very open, bright, and has lots of seating spread out across 2 floors, as well as outside. The Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I had a sleepy morning, so the the staff kindly explained things for me more than once when I misunderstood, and I really appreciated their positive attitude and patience. I ordered a breakfast burrito and an iced honey cinnamon latte. The breakfast burrito was packed full of veggies, fluffy egg, smoky spiced potatoes and black beans, cilantro-filled guacamole (which I love), and a tangy sour cream salsa on the side. The burrito is vegetarian and at $12, is perfectly good without add-ons, but you can add meat for an extra $3. The latte was on the sweeter side, a bit heavy on the honey, but was nice and creamy. If you are going to work or spend more than a couple hours here, I recommend sitting downstairs where there are more available outlets compared to upstairs. Bathrooms are available in SALT with a code. read more

Morning Brew is a located at Salt Kakaako. Parking is free for the first hour, then you'll need to pay. There's also metered street parking. You can count on waiting in line outside the cafe until the line inside allows more room to enter. Luckily the line moves pretty quickly. The high ceiling, hanging light fixtures, and splashes of greenery are nice touches. The menu offers a wide variety of gourmet food and specialty coffee options. The music is hip, the service is good, the workers are young. They're aiming for the trendy, elevated cafe experience. For the most part, I like it, but the food could be better. The toppings made all the difference when judging the open-faced items. The smoked salmon bagel was a disappointment. The flavor was bland compared to others I've had. I love cucumbers, but there's a time and a place... aside from aesthetics, it did nothing for this dish. At a $17 price point, toppings like sprouts or tomatoes should be automatic, or at least a complimentary option. Let's just say, major fail here. The avocado and egg toast was really good. Here you have avocado, egg, arugula, tomato, radish, goat cheese, and balsamic glaze. Lots of elements, lots of flavor bursts (especially with an over easy egg)... and $5 less than the salmon. I would order it again. The vanilla macnut latte was smooth and flavorful. I would definitely order it again. I like that there's an upstairs seating area, but it's very small so it does feel a little cramped. I'll be back because the vibe is right and there are a lot of other menu items to try... but as for first impressions, I'm 50/50. I might even just stick to the coffee from now on. read more

Coffee first, everything else second.Popped into Morning Brew on a quiet Friday morning for a little work and a cup that didn't disappoint. The space has range, big open floor with tables to spread out, plus a second deck if you want a change of scenery. Staff was warm and quick, my black coffee was dialed in, and the menu (avocado toast, acai bowls, open-faced breakfast options) is already on my list for next time. Walking distance from my son's place, which means this won't be a one time visit. read more

Line out the door so I thought to myself this place gotta have good coffee. Was going to order steel cut oats with fresh fruit, guys said 20 minute wait, so I skipped the breakfast. Ordered a simple latte with whole milk. Wait was short but the coffee was terrible, tasted like straight milk with a splash of coffee. Won't be returning. read more

I came here for breakfast and ordered the local bowl, which consisted of brown rice, ham, onion, spinach and jack cheese. The portion was a good size, and packed with flavor! The brown was rice perfectly cooked and had a slight shoyu flavor; noting overpowering or too salty. They make the eggs how you like it, so I chose scrambled eggs and it was cooked how I like it; not wet but not dry and tough. If you like fried rice, you'll love this bowl! That's exactly what it reminds me of.. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes and drinks. read more

Morning Brew has a large assortment of coffee, teas, and other snacks along with the perfect chatting and co-working atmosphere! I just got their cold brew this time, which was really earthy, slightly chocolatey and not too acidic. Next time I hope I can try their bagels or chia pudding! Vibe: The shop has two floors -- the first floor is where you order your food/drinks that also has seating and a merch and coffee section, while the second floor is more seating. There are also a handful of tables outside, making it a perfect spot to hang out with your pets. The staff were super friendly and smiled over small talk as I ordered, which made the entire experience memorable! Parking: Salt Kakaʻako has a paid parking lot. There is also metered street parking around the area. read more

Located in SALT Kakaako, Morning Brew is a two story cafe/coffee shop. There is parking in SALT and they validated. With competition from places such as Alo Cafe and Arvo, Morning Brew can stand its own with a solid menu of drinks, food, and baked goods. Walking in through the door will take you straight to the counter to order. There is merch near the door, along with a variety of baked goods on display. The menu has a range of coffees, teas, and more. The food menu sweet and savory options such as sandwiches, pancakes, bagels, and more. Great menu if you are feeling like a meal or just a light snack. The people working were swift and kind. There is some seating on the first floor, and more tables and seating on the 2nd floor. It feels very open and spacious inside. It also feels equal parts modern and comfortable. We both got coffee. I got the Thai Latte, which was rich and flavorful. It was on the sweeter side, which was nice! Next time, I hope to try one of their baked goods. read more

This review is based on one drink and one drink only- their iced coconut Thai latte. I don't usually drink coffee because I don't love the taste but this tastes like coffee ice cream (which I do love)! It's pretty much the only coffee drink I've ever liked so when I'm in town I always get it! It's a beautiful shop with two stories. Upstairs is great for working! I'll sometimes call in a to go order for the Thai latte and they prepare it quickly! read more

I went on a Monday at around 12 pm and it wasn't too busy, I was able to get a table to do some work on my laptop! I also grabbed a breakfast burrito, and I tried a large iced Cinnamon Honey latte with oat milk. The coffee was good as usual. I liked the breakfast burrito, but I think it was a bit bland and missing some salt, but luckily they have salt and pepper packets. I also noticed that the black beans and onions weren't cooked the best. I noticed the onions seemed almost raw. I think it would taste best if it was cooked a bit more down. But still a decent burrito. Overall I had a pretty good experience. read more

Ordered the Vanilla Macnut Latte, it was good, not too strong, not too sweet. 8/10 (-: a little warm but next time I'll ask for more ice Also, ordered the breakfast quesadilla, it was good!! + the sauce is amazingly good! It had chicken, bacon, bell peppers and cheese. A little pricey but it was good! Ambience: is an aesthetically pleasing. Parking: street parking around using meters. Weekdays: 1 hr meter parking. I think they validate parking tickets at the SALT but I forgot to read their sign thoroughly.. Service: employees are nice and patient, especially when I didn't know what to order read more

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. My breakfast burrito with bacon was absolutely delicious. Great flavor and very filling. I also tried my companions breakfast quesadilla which was tasty and he liked it. Each item was served with a sour cream salsa sauce and is reasonably priced considering quality of ingredients. If u add a coffee or latte expect to pay about $25 a person. The cashier was very helpful considering it was my first time ordering. Table turnover is quick and there was a line the entire time I was there. Desserts and baked goods are available and the restaurant validates parking. I would definitely return and it's a cute place to have brunch. read more

We were looking for a place to sit and hang out for a bit and needed some table space to take care of some work. We decided on Morning Brew as I wanted to try something new. We walked in and was greeted by a bright and lively coffee shop bustling with people. There are two levels with a number of tables available and more seating upstairs. They had really delicious looking line-up of fresh baked goods and a fairly wide and varied menu of beverages and food. From sandwiches and toasts, to bowls and sweet treats, they have a great selection of breakfast and brunch items. As for their coffee, it's all locally roasted and also had a pretty wide selection. From single brew pour overs to beverage specials like a cold brew float, there's something for everyone. As for me, I went with an iced German mocha which apparently combines espresso, chocolate, and other flavors to create a taste similar to German chocolate cake. It was perfect and I enjoyed sipping on it while hanging out in the shop. All in all, Morning Brew is cute and modern and makes for a great space to hangout and catch up with friends. I think it would also be a good spot for breakfast/brunch. It can get a little loud inside with all the patrons and felt pretty warm inside, but it did the job and would recommend a stop here. read more

I really love this place! The vibe is cute, and the staff is always super friendly. I've been here multiple times, and it never disappoints. The coffee is consistently great, I usually alternate between the vanilla mac nut latte and the chai, & both are delicious. The food is filling and tasty. The bacon and egg bagel sandwich is a favorite, especially with the sundried tomato aioli, and the quesadilla was loaded and satisfying. A solid spot that I'll keep coming back to! read more

Im so glad i found this spot . Amazing food and ambience. Indoor seating , outdoor seating, upstairs seating . The decor was amazing. It made me feel very comfortable and at home for a busy spot . Decor was updated . Mix of college kids, townies, laid back people . It's like a upgraded nicer homier Starbucks . The staff was nice and clean looking. I had the avocado toast w over easy egg , arugula tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. They had some cheese on the side that made this dish pop !! I have to say the best avocado toast I ever had . Tryna be mindful of what I eat so I opted to get just a regular iced green tea . Idk why it tasted amazing like it had a hint of mint in it . After I was done eating I sat outside to relax for a bit . I definitely wanna come back . It's located in salt downtown Kaka'ako. Parking is hard to find on the evening. All parking I've seen is paid parking. I found a meter parking next to morning brew that was $1.50 for a hr . Figure that's enough to eat and walk around salt a little bit . Definitely will be back . Also good area to study , relax or hold a casual business meeting. read more

Morning brew was a convenient stop for my grandfather and I on a Friday to grab a quick bite and yummy coffee when we were in the neighborhood. Located at the Salt in kaka'ako, this coffee shop boasts local flavors in a friendly, trendy, but not too pretentious coffeehouse way. He loves it because of their 100% kona drip. Always takes forever (what drip doesn't), but comes out the perfect temperature. I got their matcha latte, which is sweetened with local honey, a lovely touch. We also tried a fabulous garlic mushroom sandwich today, with a side salad--super umami and filling in my opinion for a midday snack for two! Their prices are comparable to other high end coffee shops, but we do love the ample seated space and accessibility. First hour of parking in the mall structure is free as well! read more

Disappointed. The coffee is so watery. Hate to say it but go to Starbucks instead. The salmon lox were drizzled with some odd salad dressing? Kind of ruined the lox. The menu on the wall doesn't say they use the dressing so it was not anticipated. We have been here several times, some of the entrees are good but thinking it is located in a convenient place with plenty seating. Service was ok. The other cafes neighboring this place look good but are smaller, probably going to give them a try next time for the coffee instead. read more

The local bowl was delicious, not heavy, but kept me full for a while. I don't like brown rice and am surprised they can make brown rice taste good. Their matcha can be good, but can be inconsistent between different baristas. Drinks come in 3 different sizes (12, 16, and 20 oz). I always thought that this being a popular coffee shop, that it's always busy but the last few times I've stopped by, I was surprised that there was a lot of seating. Cashier was very helpful and friendly. read more

This place is aesthetically nice. They have a lot of tables and parking wasn't a problem because they have a garage you can pay after an hour.(First hour is free) I ordered Tofu & Veggie Scramble and coconut thai latte w/ oat milk. I thought my food would have an egg + Tofu. Lol but it was actually almost like a fried rice with tofu and vegetables. It was okay. I was expecting good amount of protein (tofu at least) that's why I ordered but it's mostly rice. This is good if you are vegetarian/vegan and really want rice mixed with veggies & tofu. Anyway, they forgot my meal was supposed to be served with a side of salad and I had to tell the server and show her the description of the meal on their website. She apologized and said that the kitchen is training new people. But how come herself doesn't know either? They have to be better in training and orienting their employees, because even with my friend's quesadillas - they put bacon instead of avocado. They had to re-make it when we brought it to their attention. I almost forgot to mention that I also tried their 100% kona coffee and it tasted very diluted. It wasn't strong enough. read more
