There are many kinds of drinks like cafe mocha, matcha tea latte, and chai latte. You can get these drinks for about $6. My recommendation is the house-brewed coffee because they make it every morning, so you can enjoy fresh and flavorful coffee. Also, it is only about $3. You can customize your coffee however you like with free options like oat milk, almond milk, and simple syrup. Morning Brew also serves a healthy and delicious selection of food. One of the most popular food items is the morning burrito ($11), which includes country potatoes, onions, tomatoes, spinach, cheese, and scrambled eggs all wrapped in a tortilla. If you want to add steak or bacon, there’s an additional charge. They’re open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

It’s a little bit more expensive than other coffee places, but it’s worth it because the coffee is high-quality, freshly roasted, and made from locally grown Kona beans. There is not only coffee but also smoothies. My recommendation for smoothies is the Hale‘iwa smoothie, which contains pineapple, mango, and banana blended with your choice of milk. So if you’re not a coffee person, you can still enjoy fresh and delicious options. The smoothies are about $10. In the center of the shop, there’s a huge roasting machine where fresh beans are roasted daily. How about studying while surrounded by the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans?
