About
Bean About Town, an artisan coffee roaster, began its journey in London in 2005. Founder Olivier Vetter then brought his deep passion for world-class coffee and industry expertise to Honolulu in April 2018, establishing a unique presence. Their philosophy is built on 'Rencontre' – connection – and a commitment to serving exceptional coffee with genuine Aloha, creating an enjoyable experience for every visitor who steps into their welcoming Kaimukī shop or their Waikīkī location at DFS. At their Kaʻimukī shop, guests are treated to a truly special atmosphere, enhanced by the rich aroma of beans being roasted fresh on-site, a hallmark of their dedication to quality. Bean About Town proudly features a rotating selection of world-class coffees. This includes sought-after 100% Kona SL34 and 100% Hawaii Red Bourbon, showcasing a significant focus on exquisite locally grown Hawaiian beans, alongside other fine single-origin selections and unique offerings like their 'Jasper: Special Edition' coffee. This commitment to excellence, backed by SCA certified expertise, also extends to their wholesale operations, where they craft custom roasts for local businesses, sharing their passion for remarkable coffee throughout the islands.
