If there’s one beverage Hawaii is known for, it’s coffee. After all, Hawaii is the only American state with land able to grow coffee. And while we love visiting the Big Island’s famous Kona Coffee farms as much as the next person, we’re pretty enamored with the coffee shops you’ll find scattered across Hawaii’s other main islands. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hawaii’s largest tourist attractions and enjoy a cup of coffee in a peaceful environment, we know just the place.
Tucked away off Kamehameha Highway in Haleiwa — one of the most charming small towns in the Aloha State — is the Coffee Gallery, a quirky little coffee shop sure to become your new favorite hangout after just one visit.

While their coffees are all delicious, we’re partial to their espresso drinks, particularly the Crowned Jewel, a white chocolate mocha stirred with raspberry, the Coconator, made with coconut and housemade mocha sauce, and the Caramel Dream. Yum!

Coffee is just the start, though. On the menu, you’ll find a variety of smoothies, juices, and teas as well as acai bowls, housemade granola, and scrumptious pastries, all prepared in house from scratch to ensure freshness and quality.
