    Iced Hapa Latte
    Jennifer N.

    Tried their Iced Hapa Latte this morning and it was so yummy! Not overly sweet which I liked. Wish I got their bigger size - will definitely order again, but I think it's from their monthly menu. Forgot to take a pic of their menu, but I believe the iced hapa latte was a white mocha latte topped with a chocolate pudding cloud! So so good! When you're waiting for your drink, just be mindful of where you stand. Depending on the time you go, there can be ppl walking by or riding their bikes/skateboard.

    Da early morning grind... Open daily at 7am already has me loving this place along with lots of free parking that it does share with the laundromat it share space with though it is more of an express as you place your order and pick up though a window and yes no seating to casually enjoy your sip the simplicity of it all is nice. With lots of varieties to choose from the usually espresso coffees, dirty sodas and teas they have a monthly special items and Specialty Lattes as well. Matcha-Nana Latte is their version of the Matcha Banana Pudding and it was nice to strong with the banana flavor but definitely was slightly there though not the best matcha I had it was still very up there in comparison to many others. I love that I could get a cup at 7 in the morning as many do open after 10am isn't in the cup for me with my work schedule. The service is very nice and friendly though the vibe is not the reason you're hear for knowing that you're able to come as early in the morning is convenient and appreciated. Thank you!

    I finally got to try Da Morning Grind after having it bookmarked for about a month. A friend picked it up for me, so I can't speak much about the atmosphere or the shop itself, but I can definitely say the matcha was delicious. I ordered the Matcha Nana (banana matcha), and it was perfect. The sweetness level was just right for me, and the banana flavor was excellent--almost like a banana bread latte in matcha form. My friend placed the order online, which seemed super convenient and made the whole process easy. Based on this first experience, I'll definitely be stopping by the shop in person soon!

    International Tea Day in Honolulu, Hawaii... I searched "tea" on my Yelp app and found Da Morning Grind Cafe. Located on the corner of King Street and the left side of Pensacola Street, Da Morning Cafe shares a free parking lot with King Laundromat. I ordered at the outside window on the King Street side of the building. Service was very friendly - especially because it was the worker's second day on the job. She introduced me to the owner and didn't want to be in the photo. That's how I got a photo of the owner. Haha! This is a takeout only business. It was on the windy, noisy, sunny side with many cars passing by. I had my Peach honey green tea in the car. It was light and refreshing! I would return because of the convenient location.

    Da Morning Grind Cafe is conveniently located in town, on King Street--in Kings Laundromat. You can order inside the laundromat or outside at the window. I toon advantage of their online ordering system for a 7:15AM pickup. They were so efficient that my drink was ready 10 min early! I enjoyed a small iced mac nut latte, less sweet. I appreciated the customization options even on their online platform. Keep in mind that some customizations cost extra. My drink was $6.02 with tax. Not bad at all, given the prices of comparable drinks from other businesses! This cafe is more of a grab and go kind of place. Great for those working, studying or running errands. Curious about their matcha and dirty sodas. Will be back! Customer service was excellent. Very friendly staff.

    Matcha with Ube Cloud & Ube Sago
    Suri S.

    Hidden coffee shop newly opened located inside the Laundromat. Nice and friendly folks. Ordered: Iced Sago Matcha Latte with Ube Sweet Cloud and Sago. Really great flavor combination with matcha and slight chew from the Ube sago. Would be a great spot to grab a drink if you need to do laundry.

    Requested a June special: Iced Hapa Latte. When I think hapa latte; I'm expecting an espresso-based beverage with matcha, haupia, and / or coconut flakes...but in this instance it was a white mocha wiith a chocolate pudding cloud. This could be renamed the Iced Kanaka Maoli Colonizer Latte - jk - I let my intrusive thoughts creep into the review. Iced Hapa Latte: special. I hope it becomes a part of their regular menu. Sweet but not overwhelming. If you aren't as keen on mochas like myself...perhaps a white mocha, such as this bevvy, is an alternative. Previously, I had an Iced Matcha Sago. Usually, you don't encounter sago drinks outside of a bubble milk tea shop. Sago ( derived from the sago palm ) is lighter in color and softer in texture than boba. You choose your milk, cloud, and sago with your matcha drink. If I recall correctly - I had this beverage with whole milk, a honey cloud, and condensed milk sago. It was good. There are many permutations of this drink...so I'll likely try another variation. Da Morning Grind Cafe is on the corner of Pensacola Street and South King St. Open from 700a to 300p on weekdays; close at 12 noon on the weekends. They have a King St. window to place orders but they have separate orders and pickup windows inside King Laundromat. They have a small parking lot...though it gets busy with laundromat customers. There is a window outside on King St. to place an order, then get your coffee. You can also enter the laundromat - there's a window for ordering and another for pickup.

    Menu from inside the laundry mat

    Very unusual to see a little cafe take out connected to a laundry mat but it's super cute. While doing your laundry you can order a pick me up. I got the chamomile lavender tea with honey and it's really good since I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Definitely want to come back to try their matcha strawberry which looks so ono

    Iced Peach Green Tea, Iced Mocha Latte, and Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte.
    Nicole S.

    What nice addition to this section of King Street! Come down Pensacola and find this little cafe tucked inside a new laundromat. Parking is right off of Pensacola, across from Kaiser. You can enter through the laundromat or find the other pick up window on the King Street side. Workers are super friendly! I really enjoyed my strawberry matcha with almond milk! Strawberry purée was so good, wish I got a bigger size! Matcha was spot on. Will be back to try the Experiment 626 next time!

    Medium 16oz Strawberry Matcha latte
    Han P.

    My coworker told me about this spot. I am SO ecstatic that there is a great Matcha place by my work building! The matcha is rich and not watered down. So satisfying! I ordered the 16oz Strawberry matcha latte. The strawberry purée was a bit too thick to stir but it tasted great and eventually blended well with the Matcha. Can't wait to try the coffee lattes as well! This is right around the corner at Pensacola and S. King St. where the laundromat is located. The small window has a button to ring the bell and the menus were posted right next to it so you won't miss it. The staffs are very friendly! Will definitely comeback here again.

    The banana matcha and hapa latte
    Kayla T.

    Da Morning Cafe located on the corner of South king street and Pensacola. I went at about 7am and they have a small take out window, it's definitely hard to miss so it feels like a very hidden gem. The menu is pretty diverse with different types of matcha and coffee. The matcha is on the darker side and less creamy than other places. I had the banana matcha and we also got the hapa latte. Both not too sweet which I enjoyed! Would go back to try a different drink, service was also super quick so we didn't wait long.

    Iced Sago Matcha Latte with Ube and Banana Matcha
    Jade Z.

    While scrolling on IG I saw a video about this place. I wanted to check it out but I've just been so busy. On a random Tuesday I was driving by and there happened to be an open street parking stall across the street so I decided to check it out! There was no line and the cashier was really sweet. I did not go inside and instead ordered from the window outside. I tried the Iced Sago Matcha Latte and decided to add Ube. My cousin got the Banana Matcha Latte. Both were pretty tasty! Personally for me I will probably add a little extra syrup in the future. Just for a bit more sweetness and flavoring. I also wished the sago was cooked a little bit longer as it was still white and grainy on the inside. But overall this is a quick and convenient place to go to! And their drinks are tasty, so I will be back to try their other options!

    Excited there's a new local coffee spot in the area!! Looking forward to trying their other beverages next time!

To make matters worse another customer and her child walked up and were able to cut in front of me without anyone noticing or correcting. I understand places get busy and I dont mind waiting when acknowledged. There was only 1 worker and she was too busy to notice her surroundings. I decided to leave without ordering. I was really hoping to enjou this place but first impressions matter. Hopefully the customer service improves because the menu looks great.

I noticed that UberEats type of delivery service were picking up orders consistently throughout our time here. We ordered the Strawberry Panna Cotta, thinking that it was a parfait dessert or served on a plate. Though when the gentleman taking our order asked for the sweetness level, we knew it must've been a drink. And it did not disappoint! I've never had anything like this before. It was the perfect blend of strawberry on top, not too sweet, not too sour and the panna cotta smooths it all out from the bottom up through your straw. The gentleman working there was very friendly, very kind, answered all our questions. One being that they do not serve food/desserts here anymore because of the shelf-life and unpredictability of people ordering these items, I get it. He truly seems to love his job and it shows. Walking each order out to everyone, whether they're waiting inside or outside the shop, he's hustling, not sauntering around. And in between, he's straightening the stuffed animals on the couches, so that they look presentable. It's the little things that count, and I appreciate that. Nevertheless, we will definitely be back to try other flavors!
