Our Story
Hanalei Coffee Roasters
Where It All Started
Hanalei Coffee Roasters began in a century-old plantation house, just in front of the taro patch, in the town of Hanalei, Kauai. Our mission at that time was to offer the broadest selection of Hawaiian coffee beans available. For 15 years, we roasted in-house and delighted in the process of introducing our guests to the distinct flavors of Hawaiian-grown coffees.
Growing Into the Roast
Eventually, the roasting business outgrew the plantation house. We sold the cafe so that we could focus fully on our primary passion: roasting specialty coffee.
Fast forward to 2024, and Hanalei Coffee Roasters is a proudly independent coffee roastery shipping freshly roasted beans from Hawaii to customers around the world. We've built our reputation by consistently delivering quality, small-batch roasts and showing up in service to the people who drink them.
The Work, The Love, The Lifestyle
From café hustle to finding our feet. Through COVID, supply chain chaos, and decades-high inflation, we've kept growing because we love what we do. We want the world to feel what we feel every time we open a fresh bag: that good coffee can slow down a morning and turn it into something better.
We're here for good times and good coffee, and we always will be.
