About
For those seeking an authentic taste of the islands, Maui Coffee Roasters stands as a cherished local institution in Kahului. With roots stretching back to 1982, this isn't just a coffee shop; it's a legacy built on a passion for exceptional coffee, predating many of the larger chains in Hawaii. Founder Nicky Matichyn envisioned a place dedicated to the finest brews, drawing inspiration from the descendants of the first coffee trees brought to the Hawaiian Islands in 1827. This deep history informs their commitment to quality and the aloha spirit they share with every visitor. What truly sets Maui Coffee Roasters apart is their dedication to showcasing locally grown Hawaiian coffee, offering 100% Kona and 100% Hawaiian selections alongside international beans. They roast in small batches, a meticulous process they've honed over decades, using eco-friendly Loring™ roasters to ensure excellence while caring for the planet. Beyond the beans, their welcoming café at 444 Hana Highway serves a delightful array of pastries, sandwiches, and their renowned coffee beverages. Visitors will also appreciate their selection of 'Made in Maui' products from other local companies, further strengthening their community ties. More than just great coffee, Maui Coffee Roasters embodies a strong community ethos, actively supporting local foundations like the Maui Strong Fund and fostering an 'Ohana' spirit with their partners. Their longstanding reputation, including being voted 'Best Local Coffee Shop,' speaks volumes about their dedication. For over four decades, they've been a beloved destination for both residents and visitors, offering not just a cup of coffee, but a genuine piece of Maui's heart and a commitment to the very best from the islands.
