Very sad that they are closing…read more.. Saw a feed on FB that they plan to close at the end of this month. How sad! :( This has been a go to place for a cup of coffee and something sweet if I was in Haleiwa in the mornings. Also buy locally grown and fresh ground coffee...a lot of times for gifts. Sigh... gotta try to find a new place, but nothing can replace the Coffee Gallery... Got 6 more days for those who wanna make that last stop...

Came here on New Year's Day for breakfast, and it was pretty crowded inside. There was ample…read moreparking in the lot, and we never have trouble finding parking here. We shared the pecan pie, pineapple muffin, and pumpkin muffin. I really liked the pecan pie crust. Both the muffins were moist, and I enjoyed the chunks of fruit in the pineapple one. I wanted to get savory food, but they were sold out by the time we got there. I also got a golden turmeric latte. I don't really know what I was expecting from a golden turmeric latte, but it just tasted earthy. Nothing amazing about it, but I'm sure it had great health benefits. Service was super friendly even though it was rather busy when we went. There was lots of seating in this cute covered area separated from the shop. I liked how quiet it was compared to the inside of the shop where they are calling out orders. I'm so sad that this place is closing after serving Haleiwa for so many years!

We found this bakery as a happy accident on a scenic drive to the North Shore. It was closed by the…read moretime we stopped by so we had to make time to go the second time around. On this visit, we got a full spread! We got a box of all of the things and it didn't disappoint. I was so excited to choose all kinds of pastries for my box. At this point, everything is already in my tummy and I've already crossed memory lane, so I can't tell you the names of every pastry but what I can tell you is take the scenic drive. Check out the businesses you normally wouldn't have stopped by. Visit the Yelp page. Look at recommendations from fellow Yelpers! When I'm curious of a place and I'm not convinced yet, I always go to Yelp to see what the people have to say and the people love the pastries here for good reason. This place has some good pastries. I would come back just to satisfy the sweet tooth again. I will say, leave the snow puffs for enjoying when you're not in your vehicle unless you're okay with a mess lol

First, I have always loved north shore and never found the drive to be cumbersome so the location is perfect. The Snow Puppy was divine! The flakes and powdered sugar are out of control once you bite into it so best not to eat it in your car. lol I absolutely loved their bread pudding. This is the first time I have tried bread pudding with a crust that I can honestly say complimented the texture of the bread pudding. I highly recommend you show this business some love and support!

What a nice little hidden gem. We had been to other coffee places on other tours, but first time…read morehere. It seems like this is not only a spot for tours, it seemed like locals and military personnel know about this place and stop by for a cup of coffee. I like how they have an actual cafe with fun drinks and muffins and pastries, which is probably what brings in local guests. They have samples of certain coffees inside the gift shop plus a lot of fun gifts. The coffee is a bit pricy but I landed on getting the coffee cake flavor. I typically do not love flavored coffee, but the sample was so good, I hope once we grind it is is as good as while being here. Some of the other dark roasts were also really good but even more expensive. If they coffee we purchased turns out to taste good, I would purchase more next time. They told us they coffee gets replaced at least once a week and they roast it fresh. I loved how you can walk through the coffee plants and see the berries. It was a beautiful little garden area and a lot of fun. It was like being on a vineyard but for coffee. And for me and my family, coffee is a daily treat.

You can try small coffee samples and taste different varieties before making a purchase. There was a great selection of coffees available, and as coffee lovers, we really enjoyed the experience. The staff was friendly, and we were happy with our visit. If you love coffee, this is definitely a place worth stopping by. It is a small attraction, and around 30 minutes is enough to explore, taste the coffees, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Finally, a café on Oʻahu that takes its pastries and café food seriously! I really love what you're…read moredoing here, and the pastries are genuinely some of the best I've had. My favorites I always order are the vanilla cardamom bun, Don't Worry Brie Happy, banh mi, and Cardi B drink. I did want to share a couple of suggestions for the owner/manager because I'd love to see this place continue to improve. Lastly, please can you add some umbrellas above your wooden tables outside. It's way too hot, and the covered area is always full/loud. Would really love some umbrellas over the wooden tables. Coffee consistency: I've ordered the Cardi B around 20 times over the past four months. Less than half the time it's great, but more than half it has been disappointingly cold or poorly made. I understand that different baristas have different techniques, but the inconsistency is always noticeable. In my experience, about 15 out of 20 times the coffee drink has been cold because the milk is not being steamed and instead cold milk is being poured directly into the coffee. The amount of cardamom and sweetness/honey always varies too. Since the drink itself has such a great recipe, I'd really love to see more consistency in preparation--this could be improved through retraining baristas, reinforcing a gold standardized recipe, proper milk steaming technique, temperature guidelines, or additional barista training. Also, I've never had the same barista or cashier in all the times I visited. As a local regular, I do wish I could have a regular solid barista. Consider the best practice of scheduling people with consistent schedules weekly so people can develop loyalty and relationship with your cafe. Bagelweanies: These are SO delicious, but they are also way too salty. The large sea salt crystals on top look beautiful, but there is so much salt that it overwhelms the flavor and health nutrition. I always have to peel or scrap off the top bread to remove all the salt. The weenie itself is already salty enough, in my opinion. I'd strongly suggest reducing or even removing all the sea salt on top. It would make them more enjoyable and a more healthy. They will still taste great, look great, and you reduce the expense of sea salt! I'm sharing this because I genuinely love the food and want to see the café succeed. The pastries and food are clearly made with care, and with a little more consistency in the coffee and less salt on the bagelweanies, I think you'd have an even stronger experience.

We happened in to HI Pie and were surprised to discover such a hidden gem. I ordered the chicken pot pie which was $13 (reasonably priced for a handmade fresh mini pie).

I'm so excited to return and can't wait to try some of their drinks - the matcha latte looked promising I think they use Ami Mei matcha, chocolate chip cookies and other sweet flavors of pie. Added bonus: parking was also super easy, they have a lot in the back!
