Coffee Gallery

Located in Haleiwa, The Coffee Gallery is a cozy spot is known for its wide selection of coffee, fresh pastries, and relaxed atmosphere. At Coffee Gallery Hawaii Roast master, their commitment is to produce only the best coffee beans, drinks, and products befitting our cherished and highly discerning clientele.

Haleiwa Bowls

Part of what Makes Haleiwa Bowls so great is the focus on serving an organic, plant based menu, using local farmers and local products. Try the cold brew as all beans are roasted in on Oahu.

Island Vintage Coffee

Though not exclusive to the North Shore, their convenient location in Haleiwa offers delicious coffee drinks, often featuring locally grown beans, along with a range of tasty food options (including the Acai bowl). Parking can get a little tricky, but more often than not there is plenty in back.

Waialua Bakery & Juice Bar

A small, family-run bakery that offers a selection of baked goods and coffee, this spot is perfect for a laid-back morning. We wouldn’t prioritize Waialua Bakery only for coffee, but would ensure we made it for their full menu. Especially the cookies, as they are worth the trip in itself. In addition to the fantastic cookies and food, Waialua Bakery stands outs as the prices are amazingly low. Its a nice reprieve from the expected prices that one would expect in Hawaii.

Green World Coffee Farm

While technically not on the North Shore (it’s in Wahiawa, just a short drive away and on the way from town), the Green World Coffee Farm offers a unique experience on its 7 acres of land. One of the few places where you can take a free guided tour of their facility. However, if you prefer self guided tours are available as well. Green World Coffee Farm also offers free daily tastings, plenty of options for sale. Plus it makes a perfect stop to help break out the trip for those taking H1 from town.

Coco & The Sage

According to their website, Coco & The Sage is Haleiwa’s Wellness Mixologist Bar- Handcrafted Coffee, Teas, and Elixirs. Owned by local farm owners Nicci & Jerry whose goal was to Create a place to enjoy Mother Nature’s bounty with yummy drinks in a beautiful space filled with Aloha. With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to go along with the local shopping as part of the shop. Coco & the Sage is likely to be Oahu’s best coffee shop for those looking for that perfect instagram moment.
