About
Hala Tree Cafe, found along Oahu's scenic windward coast in Kaaawa, offers a genuine taste of Hawaiian coffee hospitality, born from a family's deep connection to the land. Founders Danielle and Jean Orlowski started their journey on their own Hala Tree Coffee farm, nestled on the Big Island's fertile Mauna Loa slopes, where they cultivate 100% Kona coffee. This direct farm-to-cup ethos is at the heart of their Oahu cafe, ensuring each cup served against an ocean backdrop reflects the meticulous care from their estate. They truly embody the aloha spirit, welcoming everyone as part of their extended family. What sets Hala Tree apart is not just their superb Kona coffee and fresh cafe offerings, but their profound dedication to coffee excellence and education. They champion transparency, with QR codes on their coffee bags inviting you to trace the story of the beans. A particularly insightful experience awaits at The Coffee Lab, situated below the cafe. Here, guests can delve into the distinct characteristics of their estate-grown Kona coffee through guided tastings and engaging, hands-on classes covering brewing to roasting. Their commitment to innovation is also evident in their cultivation of diverse coffee varieties and exploration of various processing methods, continually enriching the Kona coffee experience. This authentic connection to locally grown coffee and a passion for sharing their craft makes Hala Tree Cafe a remarkable find for coffee lovers.
