Writing the next great American novel takes commitment, courage, and the ability to seamlessly splice together passages from Huckleberry Finn and Moby Dick. Start your next project in the ideal café setting with today's Groupon: for $14, you get a punch card for $30 worth of coffee, chai, italian sodas, and drinks at Manifest Hawaii.

Manifest Hawaii blurs boundaries as a caffeine-purveying lounge by day, a cocktail-pouring live-music party by night, and an art gallery by choice. While Apollo rides his chariot, Waialua coffee aficionados mingle among multimedia masterpieces sipping espressos ($2), slurping cappuccinos ($3.50), or shot-gunning mochas ($4). Those who, like Popeye, prefer to get their strength from leaves rather than beans can sample the Tiger Spice chai, and others who, like Olive Oyl, have trouble making up their minds can get a taste of both chai and espresso in the Dirty chai ($4.50). Evening quaffs come brewed and bottled ($5) or freshly mixed with premium liquors ($7). Each evening brings a different band to the stage to get guests grooving, and Manifest regularly hosts special events, fundraisers, and mad-hatter-helmed tea parties.
