With so many coffee joints in Salt, how do you go about choosing one? Thankfully, I didn't have to choose. My friend asked me to meet her at Morning Brew and I'm very grateful she did. It's a popular spot in Salt. There is indoor and outdoor seating. All the tables on the first floor were taken, so we enjoyed our meal upstairs. Menu items include bagels, sandwiches, bowls, and of course coffee and tea. It didn't take me long to decide on the Smoked Salmon Bagel. It comes complete with capers, red onions, cucumbers, and dill cream cheese. No regrets here. I ate every last bite and am looking forward to having it again the next time I'm there. For my drink, I opted for an iced Thai latte. Not on the menu but if they serve it hot, they can surely serve it on ice. Also drank every last drop as the coffee was smooth and when it comes to milk, I don't play. Whole milk makes it a lot better. Our drinks were ready at the counter to the left and our food was delivered to our table. In true coffee shop form, patrons enjoy food and drink with friends, studying alone, business meetings, and virtual meetings. I don't think Salt would be what it was without coffee joints like these. I hope that Morning Brew is a permanent patron here.

My go to order is the coconut thai latte with a BLTA. Idk why but the Kailua one always hits the spot whereas here it is definitely hit or miss. I love this location thou for the space if you're looking for somewhere to do some work or study. I know it should be an automatic assumption, but when a cashier made a point to ask if I wanted a milk alternative- I assume they'd let me know that its additional cost, but they didn't so I thought it was included, it was not. As someone not lactose but prefers the alternatives- but price wins- I would have liked to know to edit my order. Just the small things.

The food and drinks were good. I spent a lot for the office, anything over $100 has automatic 18% tip. Everything was packed nice and neat for transport. They let me know upfront, so keep in mind if you have a budget.

Cute, quaint cafe in Kakaako. Serving Coffee, pastries and various brunch entrees. When you walk in, you're greeted by their friendly and helpful staff, place your order, pay (you'll be given a table number), you find a table (either inside, air conditioned) or they also offer outdoor seating for people watching. When your order is ready, they'll deliver it to your table.

Honestly, my favorite coffee shop EVER. I came here 3 times this week and I wasn't disappointed. For the two times I ordered to-go, it was ready by the time I arrived. The one time I waited in the cafe, my order came in a timely manner! Their iced thai latte is sooooo good! And their matcha latte? Literally the best thing I've ever had. Such a good spot to study if you're looking for a spot! Very modern and chill.

I liked the whole look of this place, and I had a great iced drink (if I remember right, it was a special-- a peanut butter latte? more like a coffee/pb shake). I didn't order food so I don't know about the wait times, but my drink was great. Bakery items looked great too. Crowded but not badly, there was definitely room outside and on the second floor.

I really like their latte, coffee flavor really stands out even though is a flavored latte. Not super sweet, I didn't adjust number pumps of syrup. I wanted to try the pineapple scone, but looks like scone flavor change daily, they only have the bacon chive flavor today. So I opt for the berry stack, cashier said is a less dense version of cheesecake, too sweet for me and probably won't try again.

Tasty enough food but I was bothered the baked goods were in close contact to customers at the POS.

Nice coffee shop with basic breakfast, pastries, and good coffee. Cute upstairs seating.
Long wait for food but good quality and enjoyable noisy atmosphere with good company. Friendly, attentive staff. My go-to is customizing a salmon everything Bagel w/ avocado & over easy egg, no cream cheese (will order next time if possible)

The churro and chocolate waffle is 10/10. Best waffles I’ve ever had! I never leave reviews but I had to tell everyone that was one of the best $14 I’ve spent! Highly recommend this place for coffee and breakfast!

Great Sunday morning place! Long lines today, but well worth it. The food is fresh and tasty. You can eat outside with your dog, or today there was a baby bunny!

Went in to use the restroom, bought a coffee. Espresso plus tip, $8. No customer restrooms.Espresso is tasty. It’s also $8. That’s too much for espresso, objectively.

Great place for a quick latte, a brunch with friends, or a place to bang out work. Lots of space, tables, outlets, and of course wifi.
