About
Perched on the slopes of Maui’s Haleakala volcano, The Coffee Store has been a pioneering force since 1974, celebrated as the Hawaiian Islands' first specialty coffee shop. Their enduring mission is to elevate the Hawaiian coffee experience, emphasizing artisanal, small-batch roasting and direct farm-to-cup sourcing. This commitment ensures that both locals and visitors can savor Hawaii's finest coffees, roasted with meticulous care to highlight their unique island character and dedication to freshness. The Coffee Store's dedication to local sourcing is a cornerstone of their identity. They showcase exceptional Hawaiian coffees, including the renowned Maui Mokka cultivated in Kaʻanapali and prized Peaberries from trusted island farmers. Their roasters employ an "analog" approach, relying on skill and sensory experience—a testament to their passion for quality. Beyond whole beans, they offer these remarkable local coffees, alongside international selections and flavored options, in convenient K-Cups and Nespresso-compatible pods made in-house. For those curious about the process, roastery tours in Haiku offer an insightful glimpse into their craft. Ultimately, The Coffee Store provides more than just coffee; they offer an authentic connection to Maui's rich coffee heritage. Their focus on freshness, partnerships with local growers, and the art of roasting make them a cherished destination for anyone seeking a true taste of the islands.
