Kai Coffee Hawaii

About

Kai Coffee Hawaii, a locally-owned family business founded by Sam Suiter, offers an authentic taste of the islands with their guiding principle of "Aloha In Every Cup®." With over 25 years of industry experience, their mission extends beyond excellent coffee to creating a "Total Café Experience," making every visitor feel like 'Ohana' (family). Their welcoming cafes, some offering serene ocean views, provide a genuine Hawaiiana ambiance, often bustling with happy customers. Central to Kai Coffee's identity is its unwavering commitment to sourcing the finest coffee beans grown right in Hawaii, including celebrated 100% Kona and distinctive Ka'u varieties. These hand-picked beans, nurtured in rich volcanic soil and unique island microclimates, are artisan-roasted in small batches. The roasting profiles never exceed a medium level, thoughtfully designed to showcase their unique island flavors. Expert baristas skillfully prepare a range of beverages, from classic espressos and various pour-over methods to their signature macadamia nut Kai Latte and a smooth 12-hour cold brew, often complemented by fresh, house-made pastries and açaí bowls. Beyond the exceptional coffee and food, Kai Coffee Hawaii embodies a deep respect for the land through sustainable practices and fair-trade partnerships, often working directly with local, family-owned farms. This dedication to quality, authenticity, and community truly shines through in their friendly service and the vibrant atmosphere of their multiple Oahu locations. It's a wonderful opportunity for visitors to savor authentic Hawaiian coffee and experience the genuine spirit of Aloha.
