New eats: Morning Glass Coffee + Cafe

There’s a new coffee spot in Manoa, fast becoming a neighborhood favorite


New eats: Morning Glass (16 of 16)

New eats: Morning Glass

Overall assessment: Morning Glass is definitely a spot for coffee drinkers who want to taste a superior bean. Even if you're not a coffee drinker, you'll enjoy the sodas, teas and most of all, the food, which is a cut above normal coffee house. Most days, if you hang out long enough, you'll probably see hip young chefs from around the island coming to hang out, as well.

Finally got in to town early enough to try Morning Glass for breakfast, ordered the special sandwich. I wasn't sure how long the food would take so I told them I'd take it to go. I wish I could have stayed though as it really seemed like a nice "civilized" place to start the morning. ;) They were just getting things ready when I came in, boy everything looks so fresh and as good as Melissa808 's photos make them out to be.

Anyway, to the sandwich. It's slightly bigger than a McDonald's breakfast sandwich but about 100x better. I would have like to tried the sausage but they had bacon instead which of course is always fine by me. Like Melissa said it's a great combo of flavors and I highly recommend it. I did not get coffee this time (I drank some before I left home) but I think a sandwich like this deserves a cup of their coffee to complement it. I can't wait to try more of their stuff...maybe the grilled cheese, or the quiche, or...

I live in Manoa and I pass by it every day, whether by car or shoes, but I didn't even notice they were open. It looks like I'll be stopping by this week.

I tried this place this morning and enjoyed a currant scone and coffee. Very civilized and I like the open-air feel.

Melissa808 269 pts moderator

DianeSeo I never went to Ducky's so I don't know how different it was...? But I do know I never went in because it looked like a garage. This is so nice and open!

Paid this place a visit a couple weeks ago and wish I lived in Manoa again. Great food, excellent coffee, wonderful laid back, relaxed ambiance. Great place to start the day.

Melissa808 269 pts moderator

nathankam did you love my text yesterday when I needed to know how to eat the breakfast sandwich neatly? LOL!

nonstopmari 246 pts moderator

paid a 1st visit yestdy after hearing ur commentary abt the sandwiches and was not disappointed -- except for the fact that porchetta sandwich wasn't on the menu yestdy. loved the gruyere-prosciutto sand, potato salad, pickles, coffee cake, perfect black iced coffee and open-air vibe.

Melissa808 269 pts moderator

nonstopmari wow, just realized you ate all that in one sitting!

nonstopmari 246 pts moderator

Melissa808 nah, i ate half. was too full, half sand and half cake came home w/ me.

Not a coffee connoisseur by any stretch but those sandwiches look good! I should try this place for breakfast before UH starts and the traffic madness begins.

Melissa808 269 pts moderator
