About
For a genuine taste of island tradition, Lion Coffee is a name deeply woven into Hawaii's fabric. Though its story begins in Ohio in 1864, this historic brand truly found its home and heart when it relocated to Honolulu in 1979. Since then, Lion Coffee has become "Hawaii's Favorite First Cup," celebrated for capturing the aloha spirit in every bag by roasting hand-selected Arabica beans with meticulous care, a practice they've perfected for over four decades in the islands. Their dedication to local sourcing shines, particularly with their renowned 100% Kona coffee and special edition 100% Maui Coffee from Mahi Pono Farms, where sales of the 'Maui Strong' edition directly support island recovery efforts. Visitors can experience this commitment firsthand at the Lion Café and General Store or by taking a roastery tour in Honolulu. Beyond popular island-inspired flavors like Vanilla Macadamia and Toasted Coconut, Lion Coffee is distinguished by its numerous "Hawaii's Best" awards and significant community support, making it an authentic local recommendation for anyone seeking quality and a true taste of Hawaii.
