About
With welcoming locations across Honolulu, including Hawaii Kai, Ala Moana Center, and Ward Village, Island Brew Coffeehouse has been a cherished local spot since its first outpost opened in 2012. This family-owned establishment, guided by Pei-Yu and Rafael, was born from a desire to create a genuine community hub. Pei-Yu’s vision for comfort and connection, inspired by inviting independent coffee shops, pairs with Rafael’s warm ambassadorship to provide a truly hospitable experience for every visitor, aiming to learn every customer's name. The heart of Island Brew lies in its deep commitment to 100% Hawaiian coffee, sourced from local growers and roasted fresh weekly through a key partnership with Rusty's Hawaii. Guests can savor premium, award-winning local varieties like Ka'u, Kona, and the exquisite Maui Mokka Peaberry, all of which have scored over 90 by Coffee Review. Alongside expertly crafted espresso drinks featuring their Hawaii espresso blend, the menu includes unique flavored lattes and a remarkably smooth, slow-drip cold brew. This dedication extends to their freshly prepared food, highlighting local and organic ingredients in all-day breakfast and lunch offerings, from acai bowls to sandwiches. The atmosphere is one of relaxed coastal charm, ideal for both socializing and productivity, complete with free Wi-Fi and convenient outlets. Island Brew also demonstrates a clear commitment to sustainability, offering compostable corn-based cups and organic milk, alongside community support initiatives. It’s a place that genuinely embodies Hawaiian hospitality, a passion for quality, and a deep respect for the islands' rich agricultural heritage, especially its locally grown coffee.
