Had a wonderful visit for coffee and breakfast. The coffee was excellent and the food was outstanding. Just right and healthy. They have indoor and outdoor seating with lots of people watching opportunities outside.

The food is great and the people that work here are amazing and so helpful! Yes we went back for more desserts to take home. You will not find better coffee anywhere else on Oahu.

We absolutely love it here! Courtney introduced it to us on the first day of our weeklong stay near Kailua Beach and we plan to be here every morning for the coffee, the all day breakfast and the terrific, friendly service. Be prepared to wait a bit as this isn’t fast food, it’s made fresh. But it’s worth it and there’s free WiFi so you can get work done while you’re waiting, there’s nice art on the walls and a view from the seating area on the second level. I love the Cafe Vienna with honey and cinnamon and my partner loved his mocha.

Amazing food and delicious coffee. I got the german mocha and it is delicious. breakfast sandwich is amazing. there is an up charge for a bagel instead of the ciabatta. the cashier didn’t tell them before they convinced me to get it, but the flavor is great.

This place probably offers the best breakfast/brunch in Kailua. We have been here 3 times and loved all the food items we ordered. Cannot recommend it enough. Get the vegan banana pancakes, havarti scramble, and breakfast burrito! The banana pancakes were the best I have had, the syrup is super tasty so is the vegan butter they serve it with. And you won’t even notice it was vegan, that’s how good it is!

Strictly giving 3 stars because I didnt really taste the double shot espresso in my medium cappuccino. Friendly service, clean, good food, good vibes, short wait in line and short wait for food and drinks once ordered. 5 stars everywhere else.

Get the lemon squares they are magical, not to sweet not to tart. Really nice environment, clean and bright. Cashier was very helpful in helping us decide what to drink since we arent local. I decided on pour over Kona coffee. Oh My! Best coffee Ive had in months+++. Its very strong and delightful. Iced coffee aka cold brew also really great. Make sure you reserve your outside table!

Great coffee! Great food! Great atmosphere!Not overbearing re: COVID. Seating inside & out.Clean. Few flies. The WiFi held up with ~20 customers.

I didnt think I would give a morning coffee spot 5 stars but this place is awesome. Their breakfast sandwich had a unique flaky bread with quality thick bacon and oozing with cheese. The Brew breakfast plate had flavors that danced with each other; salty prosciutto, and roasted garlic were calmed by rich egg, while arugula and sharp goats cheese added more complexity. The coffee is great too. We went here 3 times on our 5 day stay

Great little to go for breakfast/brunch in Kailua. Its got a coffee shop/hipster vibe.l if your into that. Good place to do homework or work on stuff. Coffee is great and food is as well. On the more pricey end but nice place overall!

The food isnt bad but isnt any thing to write about. They do the same things that everyone else does. Dont come here if youre hungry cause it takes a long time to get your food.

Review №20

Stopped in here for a medium size to go hot tea with one shot of hazelnut and it was just under $5. Service was a little aloof but this was a great spot if youre staying longer with ample seating on two floors. Menu and baked goods looked tasty but I did not partake on this visit. Lots of local artists featured, too!

Pretty good local spot for coffee and a quick breakfast. Only reason I have four stars is the service wasn’t always the best. Otherwise it was great.

A highlight of our trip to Oahu. Their coffee was a delicious start to our morning. Really wishing we had a shop like this in my hometown!Worth the visit, my favorite is the iced latte!

This place was amazing. The coffee was so good made by barista Glen I believe that’s his name. Dezha took our order very quickly and set up our table pretty quickly. Really cute coffee place with bomb coffee.

Love this spot. Theres nothing like it on the East Side of the Island, its a little hub of Kailua. Their coffee is amazing, and they have quite a few yummy breakfast and lunch options as well. Used to be a great place to sit and have a coffee while getting some work on the computer done, or having a morning brunch with the girls. Sad that its mostly take-out now and theyre hosting a smaller amount of people, but you can still eat in. I always get the cafe breve or cafe vienna, if you want a little sweet pick me up. The employees have always been friendly. Every town needs something like a Morning Brew

Review №43

Great service, food, and coffee/Expresso selection. We ordered the Iced Chai Latte and the Iced Thai Shaken Expresso. The Chai Latte had weak chai tea flavor, and the barista was happy to provide a bit of chai and expresso, which made the drink much better! Iced Thai Shaken Expresso was flawlessly executed: both rich and refreshing, the drink was not overly sweet and would 100% recommend. Would also recommend the Breakfast burrito!

Not a food review! Morning Brew is one of my fav breakfast spots, love all their food and coffee!Had a rough experience this morning. Walked in and instead of being greeted, the barista pointed at the register and didn’t say a thing.Food is awesome but the experience is just as important. Aloha!

Great coffee, nice local spot for breakfast. Outdoor seating too!

Review №46

Best coffee we’ve had on the island! The wondrous coffee aroma envelopes you as you enter, because they roast in house, their roaster being a lovely focal point to the decor. My husband and I are transplants to the island and have only been here twice, but it’s already our favorite! The espresso and lattes are amazing, hot or iced, no sugar needed! The rich coffee is amazing, without the bitterness.

Dont get the German Mocha unless you really like hazelnut syrup. Otherwise, the lady at the register was very friendly! Prices are of course expensive, but so is everything in Hawaii.

The coffee is great at the Morning Brew. One of the best coffees we have ever had. No more Starbucks for us during our stay in Kailua! We defenitely recommend this place! Oh, and the oat cake was delicious!

Been going here for years. The lox bagel is one of the best on island. Friendly staff and fast service, its refreshing. The coffee is good, desserts are fantastic, you will not be disappointed. The only problem for me us the noise, quite loud inside when full. Go check it out, its a local hot spot for Kailua.

This is a favorite coffee shop in Kailua. The staff are always welcoming and warm. They male a great cup of coffee too. The iced coffee drinks are particularly good. Plus they make their own pastries in-house, which are incredible. There is plenty of seating upstairs and on the main floor.

Visiting from Ottawa Ontario, stopped for a quick coffee and bite and fell in love with the place! Staff, food and coffee were amazing. Turned into our early morning tradition for our whole trip. Would grab our coffee and breakfast to go and would drive to the beach 5 mins up the road and grab a bench and just enjoyed the beautiful view!!

Review №72

Located in a strip mall in Kailua, Morning Brew is more than just a coffee shop. This is my favorite place to grab a cup of whatever Im craving (usually a Cortado) in the morning whenever Im in town. Everyone that works there is friendly, the service is good and the coffee is great.The place is perfect for 1v1 meetings, catching up with friends or just hanging out getting some work done or whatever. If you live in the area, or just visiting you should check this place out.

Excellent coffee shop in Kailua with bagels and upstairs seating, however it does get crowded in the mornings. Only have been here once, cant wait to try again.

Great espresso shake however they have an EXTREMELY CARELESS WORKER at the counter without a mask on! Our numbers are in the triple digits on O’ahu now! Stop feeling so entitled. WEAR A MASK!

Review №78

Food was good. Place was clean. The price was good. Portions could be bigger but so could the price. So that’s was ok. The service was akin to a LA breakfast place. They treat you like they are doing you a favor. I would give it 4 stars if they had employees who acted like they wanted to be there. If you are looking for friendly service and aloha you will not find it here. Take it to go and hopefully you won’t be disappointed.

Review №81

This coffee place was okay, but are still in search of a good one near us in Kailua. It did not have a lot of options, and what they did have was not that appealing. We tried 2 different drinks and both were just on the okay level, hence why I only marked the place as a 3 star.

An
Review №82

Personally, I love this place! The coffee is roasted in house. I usually get a capachino and its always made perfectly. They also have pour over coffee with special roasts.We went here for food once too and it was really good. I was worried that they wouldnt have that much food because its not that big of a place. But the food was fantastic!

Review №83

This place is absolutely adorable. I love the staff and the menu. The staff is very helpful and very nice. I love coming here. I love their coffee and parfait! I recommend that coconut special drink they have and the chia yogurt and fruit parfait. Delicious!!!! Go alone or with a friend, JUST GO! Go go go!

Closest to Aussie coffee. Service so friendly. Highly recommend. Had great looking food although I of had coffee.

Review №91

The pour over was not good. Either not enough beans were used, or the water wasnt hot enough - because the coffee is weak.Other things in the store look good which is the only reason Im leaving 3 stars.

Review №99

This place has always been a bit too crowded for me, but with the current COVID situation it’s become a concern. I guess it can be blamed on the type of crowd that frequents this place - obnoxious tourists/inconsiderate Kailua “natives”. But the staff also has the right to enforce proper protocols for health and safety, especially during this time. I parked in the lot today and was about to place my order online but I decided against it once I saw the disorganized crowd of people surrounding the storefront. Almost none of them were wearing masks. Customers squeezed past each other to get into the small order area. It was a mess. The employees didn’t seem to be taking any steps to alleviate the problem.
