Morning Brew
This is a great spot for your weekend brunch, but due to their popularity it’s not always easy to find a seat. However, if you are just on your morning coffee run, be sure to stop in. You can find them in two locations – in Honolulu’s Kaka’ako district and in Kailua (less bussy there). They provide fresh organic coffee with several different blends. Try Maui Estate, Waialua Coffee or rich Surfer’s Blend.
