Hawaii is the only state in America that is able to grow coffee, and as a result, we take our morning caffeine fix extremely seriously. And though we will occasionally grab Starbucks if we’re in a hurry, we prefer to visit local shops that specialize in Hawaii-grown coffee. These 12 coffee shops located throughout Hawaii are paradise for coffee connoisseurs and caffeine addicts alike.
Serving coffee not recommended for the faint-at-heart, Morning Glass Coffee is known for their Hawaii-grown coffee brewed in-house with a Chemex filter. Owner Eric Rose has been in the coffee business for almost 25 years, and is dedicated to recapturing "the passion for the craft of coffee."
This Kahului favorite has been helping Maui residents and visitors alike get their caffeine fix since 1982. Free we-fi, and its central location make it the perfect spot to grab a coffee before heading to Kahului airport, or a meeting of friends or business associates. Their 100 percent Kona Coffee and Hawaiian Blends are roasted in small batches daily on the island.

Known for their fresh artisan brew, the Coffee Gallery is located on Oahu’s north shore. Once you step inside, you will see the in-house Diedrich roasters where baristas can be found manually roasting small batches of coffee every day. Definitely try their Hawaiian Paradise Blend.
The Coffee Lounge is more than just another coffee shop; it is a place that fosters a sense of community through locally roasted coffees. From Kona coffee pour-overs and hand-crafted lattes to smoothies and acai bowls, the Coffee Lounge has got it all.
