Morning Glass coffee was amazing, we were visiting from Dallas for a week and I think this was the best food I had all week! The sweet tea was awesome, it was some of the best sweet tea I've had in a while. The Mac and Cheese Pancakes is a must have!! That's right I said Mac and Cheese pancakes!! It sounds odd but it works!!!! It is a small intimate setting, there was no line when we arrived but the had a long line within minutes of our food being ready.
The place has a nice chill vibe. We went around 10 am on a Wednesday, and there was little to no wait. We got the blueberry scone which was delicious, cold brew which had a good strong taste but still refreshing, the sweet tea was amazing with a hint of mint, definitely try the strata...I don't know how to explain it but it was delicious and savory. The real star was the macaroni pancakes. They were savory but sweet and deliciously cheesy. It blew our mind. It's a big portion, so I only ate about 1/4 of mine and saved the rest for later. They have dedicated parking but it is small.
Update: I came back for a final coffee and breakfast stop before we left Hawaii and can’t leave without giving these fine folks a 5 star. This time, we ordered the breakfast sandwich, the breakfast burrito, and two espresso drinks and I enjoyed every last bite of their delicious foods. The lattes really hit the spot where the London Smog missed, so I knew I had to update this review with a 5 star. Can’t wait to recommend this place to friends.
A cute cafe with outdoor seating, signature drinks, some made from Portland-based Coava coffee, and a variety of tasty pastries.
Although I wasn’t impressed with the London Smog, I was thoroughly impressed with their pastries and the espresso latte, which I’ve grown accustomed to from PNW. I’d stop here or the Curb for a solid cup of espresso-based coffee or drip, but make sure you get a coffee cake or galette from behind the counter.
Staff is very friendly, I love the open cafe style. Great tasting coffee, this place can be pretty busy so just chill you’re in hawaii!
Ordered 2 cortados and a carrot cake about 45 min before closing at 2pm. One had oat milk (so good) and the other 2%. The carrot cake was moist and dense with carrot shreds and the cream cheese frosting was layered generously on top of the sheet cake rectangle and sprinkled with Demerara? sugar. So good! Would come back for coffee and a sweet something again. The last time was more than 5 years ago.
One of the best cafes Hawaii (and all of US). Awesome coffee, great views and friendly batistas. Never been to cafe with better views. The baked goods are so good. In coffee do go for Kona coffee. It'll for sure ruin the coffee for you in main land US on your return. It dis for me and had to take a month break to rest by taste buds. One of my favorite places in Honolulu to hangout.
We loved the cappuccinos and tres leches! Didn't care for the BAT sandwich, very little bacon and one slice of tomato.
The cappuccinos were very smooth. The tres leche had a bit of cinnamon and was by far the best we have had in Hawaii.
Staff was friendly and answered questions.
There was a long line that moved slowly, people in line were happy waiting and chatting or on their phones. Parking was very limited as well as seating.
Waited in line to grab some breakfast to eat outside. It's exactly what I wanted and more. We had the bread pudding, blueberry scone, stuffing, breakfast burrito, oatmeal, ginger latte, and London fog.
It's easy to say you're a cafe with baked treats but this place was beyond my expectations. I do not have a single complaint. This place is all the rave. My mouth is just watering thinking about it.

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.
The ladies there were all so friendly!! And one of the best chai lattes I’ve had in awhile. Had a few of the pastries too - very good! On-site parking and outdoor seating.
Decent coffee from the clever dripper.
Medium roasts with nice flavors - good value for money.
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 ♡
Cool little Cafe. They make a lot of stuff in house and from scratch. The syrups for the sodas were great...to bad the soda water was pretty flat. The Mac and cheese pancakes were oddly delicious but I don't think I can recommend the breakfast sandwich on baguette. The eggs were under seasoned and it just didn't really have much going on. Get there early to avoid the crowds and to get the good stuff. It sells out fast.
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.
The baked goods and drinks are 10/10! Great options and ingredients.
I especially loved the friendly service I got from Kalina.
There is one thing to keep in mind though - the line gets long and it moves very slowly. Waited 45 minutes to place my order. Come early and avoid queues!
It's my new morning stop before work! I'm in love with the cold brew right now. It's great to know where the beans originate, and I love that they feature local beans too! The bakery items are truly delicious - I adore the lilikoi biscuit!
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.
