Morning Glass Coffee

The coffee is really good! I got the London smog, a cute variation of London Fog, which I love! Such a cute name. The place wasn’t too busy. It is small and there’s no indoor seating, this might be because of Covid but there are benches outdoors to sit and enjoy a nice ice coffee or tea. Would definitely come back!

Really good selection of beverages, and food. Seating can get a bit tight, especially in the early morning hours. Some covered to protect you from the Mānoa showers. Parking is 15-45 minutes maximum for the most of the stalls, some are also reserved for the other business next door.

In A Nutshell:

-Morning Glass Coffee is one of the top coffee shops in the world.
-If you make the short trek (but heavily trafficked during school drop off hours) to the Manoa Valley from Waikiki, you'll be rewarded.
-The reward will be freshly roasted local & world imported coffees + tasty food such as their uber popular Mac & Cheese Pancakes.
-Yes, their Mac & Cheese Pancakes are worth trying, they are two pancakes filled w/ elbow macaroni & aged Vermont cheddar.
-I tried their Big Island Coffee Roasters, Maui Mellow, which smelled & tasted super good.
-They also had Coava Coffee Roasters featuring Ethiopian, Guatemalan & Honduran coffees, but since I was in Hawaii I opted for the Maui Mellow.
-The shop is very tiny & it is VERY POPULAR.
-I highly suggest you get their before they open b/c if you don't a line will quickly form.
-There is limited standing tables inside & tables outside, but if it's raining, you wont' wanna sit outside.

Overall, I really enjoyed the food & coffee at this non-descript coffee shop in the Manoa Valley, it's really worth checking out especially if you love coffee & are a foodie.

Lovely open sided cafe with plenty outdoor seating, very friendly staff and wonderful menu options to be explored :) Very much enjoyed my London Smog with oat milk which was very flavorful but not too sweet. Their cortado is also excellent and their pastries have been top tier - the lilikoi honey biscuit was drool worthy and we quite enjoyed some veggie frittata like thing as well! Always fiending to come back here and try new things ♡

I got a latte togo and was quite surprised by it. It had a sweet, light, and bold flavor. I kept drinking it and was wanting more by the end of it. Definitely coming back for another cup.

Mahalo iā 'oe !!
No fuss, laidback coffee shop serving some dope local and far blends! Super yummy coffee and a great cold brew to keep you cool and sip in the sun!
Support local business!

Being tourists, we found this place on the way to our hiking destinations. We loved it. It has a community local feel, with interesting house made items. We wish we were visiting longer in order to try more things. My husband and I both had pour over coffee, I had a lemon ginger scone which was delicious. They had house made sodas, which I would be down to try, but unfortunately we couldn't get back there to try. The food menu seems thoughtful and original as well. They have outdoor seating only, which we envy, as with island weather you can!We'd definitely recommend!

Super nice stuff. Took my food to go since there wasn't much seating. I also believe there's no wifi there. The food and coffee were good. I do plan on going back for the Mac n cheese pancakes!

If you live coffee and matcha will not disappoint. Also try egg sandwich ciabatta slathered with tomato jelly, soft egg, bacon and arugula.

This place has the best hot chocolate on island, keiki temperature. We’ve had hot chocolate everywhere on island and this is our favorite. Good place to go early in the morning with the littles in tow. Mahalo to the ladies for accommodating our extraordinary request.
