About
Nestled on the sunny west side of Kauai in Hanapepe, Kauai Roastery is a genuine family affair, with roots in the coffee industry stretching back three generations to around 1935. The Loero family's passion for coffee is palpable, spearheaded by Richard Loero, whose extensive horticultural expertise and over 25 years managing Hawaiian coffee operations inform every aspect of their craft. This deep local knowledge is a cornerstone of their commitment to delivering exceptional coffee "from the farm to your cup." What truly sets Kauai Roastery apart is their profound dedication to 100% Hawaiian Grown Coffee, celebrating the fact that Hawaiʻi is the only US state cultivating this precious crop. As artisan roasters, they meticulously roast to order in small batches, ensuring peak flavor and aroma. They don’t just source beans; they cultivate relationships with local growers across the islands and expertly select vintage crops, focusing on sustainably grown coffees, including specific offerings like 100% Kau coffee. This allows them to showcase the diverse and exquisite regional flavor profiles unique to Hawaii's varied microclimates, alongside carefully chosen global estate coffees. Visitors will appreciate their traditional micro-roasting style, which captures the individual subtleties of each origin, offering a true taste of the islands built on generations of experience.
