The girls who worked here were unfriendly and don’t know how to make a latte. When I asked if they forgot to put the espresso in the coffee they were rude and asked if I wanted to pay another $3 for a shot. Save your money and go to Starbucks
Love the ambience here, great coffee menu, small food menu, but what food they do serve is upper level good, also quick friendly service (I went when every seat was filled and still got my food in less than 15 min). Good place to stop and chill while shopping or on your way to the Ala Moana Beach.
A bit overhyped, the food is on par with other establishments in this price range. The difference would need to be in customer service and that's an area for improvement. The three girls working the morning of June 5th were the least bit customer service focused. Greetings that fell flat, lifeless interaction, not welcoming and looking like they all were just going through the motions. Most of what they were interested in was the conversation amongst themselves. Next time I want to pay $12 for Acai bowl, I'll go somewhere else.
A coffee shop where students come to study and get work done. I got myself a cafe latte and the wait was on the longer but that was understandable since it was jam packed and durning finals week. The latte I got was on the mellow side, perfect for drinking and chatting with some friend. I’ll definitely be coming back to try other things on their menu.
My favorite coffee spot, easy parking access.I love the coffee selection , my favorite one is the raspberry Latte. So good!The Lox bagle is really good for a quick bite. I love the artwork inside , it's just overall a really quaint place.
The best begal sandwich I've ever had, delicious and fresh. Don't bother adding ham. They only give you one slice of deli meat for a dollar.
Maybe it's because I'm from Europe, but we're used to eat with fork and knife... Island Brew doesn't have knifes. Rather difficult to eat eggs benedict with just a fork. Also the "eggs benedict" are not at all what they supposed to be: just fried eggs over easy (I think they have a special equipment for this). But what can you expect from 4 employees who are all below 20...
Great coffee, delicious food. Plenty of options to accommodate dietary restrictions, including gluten free bread to sub for any sandwich or breakfast item.
I got the croissant sandwich with bacon for $12, it was good but honestly for that price I could get a little bit more. The coffee is really good. I went in the early morning and they served me super fast. The nearest restroom is kind of far.
Island Brew is like an oasis in the Ala Moana Center. I almost gave up finding a place to get some work done, but then found Island Brew Coffeehouse based on the recommendation of a Center employee. I can only recommend coming here. Super relaxing (but productive) atmosphere and the coffee beverages are great too (especially the Hawaiian Honey Latte with Cinnamon) and reasonably priced.
