About
Akamai Coffee Co., a respected family-owned business on Maui, shares the spirit of aloha through its exceptional, locally sourced coffee. The company's story began with co-owner Byron Brown's quest for a superior Maui coffee experience, leading him to roast his own beans. This meticulous approach defines Akamai, from their full city roasting process highlighting the unique flavors of 100% Maui-grown beans, sourced through partnerships with local farmers, to their commitment to quality in every cup. A key aspect of their philosophy is their dedication to using genuinely 100% Maui coffee, a notable distinction on the island. You'll find thoughtfully crafted beverages across their friendly locations, including signature espresso drinks like the Hawaiian Honey Bee and unique cold brews such as the Toddy and NOLA. Beyond their acclaimed coffee, the Wailea cafe is celebrated for its award-winning breakfast and lunch, with items like avocado toast being a particular favorite. Akamai Coffee has cultivated inviting spaces designed for community connection, some intentionally without Wi-Fi, fostering a welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors to enjoy. Their consistent recognition with multiple 'Aipono and MauiTime awards for "Best Coffee Shop" and "Best Roaster" underscores their standing as a premier Maui coffee destination. This commitment to quality and authentic local sourcing makes Akamai Coffee a true reflection of Maui's vibrant coffee culture, offering an experience well worth seeking out.
