Hawaii is the only state in America that is able to grow coffee, and as a result, we take our morning caffeine fix extremely seriously. And though we will occasionally grab Starbucks if we’re in a hurry, we prefer to visit local shops that specialize in Hawaii-grown coffee. These 12 coffee shops located throughout Hawaii are paradise for coffee connoisseurs and caffeine addicts alike.
- Morning Glass Coffee + Café, Honolulu
Morning Glass Coffee + Cafe/Facebook Serving coffee not recommended for the faint-at-heart, Morning Glass Coffee is known for their Hawaii-grown coffee brewed in-house with a Chemex filter. Owner Eric Rose has been in the coffee business for almost 25 years, and is dedicated to recapturing “the passion for the craft of coffee.”
- Maui Coffee Roasters, Kahului
Maui Coffee Roasters/Facebook This Kahului favorite has been helping Maui residents and visitors alike get their caffeine fix since 1982. Free we-fi, and its central location make it the perfect spot to grab a coffee before heading to Kahului airport, or a meeting of friends or business associates. Their 100 percent Kona Coffee and Hawaiian Blends are roasted in small batches daily on the island.
- The Coffee Shack, Captain Cook

- Coffee Gallery, Haleiwa

- The Coffee Lounge, Kailua-Kona

- MauiGrown Coffee, Lahaina
