The Coffee Store

Haiku, HI

The Coffee Store is a pioneering Hawaiian coffee roaster founded in 1974, distinguished as the first specialty coffee shop in the Hawaiian Islands. Established during an era when most people purchased mass-produced ground coffee from supermarkets, The Coffee Store set out to elevate the Hawaiian coffee experience by introducing artisanal roasting and farm-to-cup sourcing to Maui coffee shops. Located in Haiku, Hawaii, the company operates its roastery on the slopes of Maui's Haleakala volcano, where it benefits from cooling Pacific trade winds and sweeping views of Maui's North Shore. This unique location provides an ideal environment for their small-batch roasting operations, where they take utmost care to ensure that every roast develops optimal flavor and aroma. The Coffee Store specializes in premium Hawaiian coffees, particularly 100% Kona and 100% Maui coffee varieties, sourcing from Hawaii's finest coffee-growing regions. Their operation is built around direct relationships with local coffee farmers and neighbors, creating a true farm-to-cup experience. They walk the farms, craft custom roasts, and participate in cuppings with growers, ensuring the highest quality coffee beans make it from their friends' and neighbors' farms to customers' cups. As Maui's premier artisan roaster, The Coffee Store offers an extensive range of products including single-origin Hawaiian coffees, premium blends, light and dark roasts, international selections, flavored coffees, decaf options, and specialty items like their featured Mokka coffee from Maui. They also produce Keurig-compatible pods and Nespresso-style capsules in-house, providing customers with the unique opportunity to enjoy premium Hawaiian coffees in single-serve formats. The company has established itself as a significant presence in the Hawaiian coffee industry, having opened many coffee shops over the years and supplied coffee to numerous establishments both locally and internationally. Their mission centers on finding Hawaii's finest coffees, roasting them to perfection, and sharing them with coffee lovers both in the Hawaiian Islands and around the world through their retail locations and mail-order service via mauicoffee.com. The Coffee Store's commitment to quality extends beyond just roasting, as they continuously taste and refine their techniques in pursuit of exceptional coffee. They craft blends specifically designed to emphasize the best attributes of their various coffees and package and ship all products at optimal freshness. The company offers tours of their facility for visiting coffee enthusiasts, allowing them to experience the roasting process firsthand and leave with fresh, roastery-selected coffee. With over five decades of experience, The Coffee Store remains committed to providing the finest coffees the Hawaiian Islands have to offer, maintaining their position as pioneers in the specialty coffee movement while continuing to innovate and serve coffee lovers worldwide. Their operation represents a true collaboration between roaster and community, embodying a labor of love from farm to flame to cup.
