A curated guide to Hawaii-grown coffee.

Why we made it

Hawaii coffee is famous, but the useful information is scattered. A generic map can tell you what is nearby; it usually cannot tell you whether the coffee is locally grown, whether you can book a farm tour, whether beans ship direct, or whether a stop is quiet, touristy, quick, or worth planning around.

We built KopeMaps to make that scene legible: family farms that offer tours and tastings, small roasters with a point of view, and everyday cafes where local coffee is part of the reason to go.

The promise

• We distinguish cafes, roasters, farms, tours, and retail stops.
• We emphasize Hawaii-grown coffee, not generic coffee sold in Hawaii.
• We prioritize practical facts: hours, tours, shipping, whole-bean sales, and direct-buy links.
• We give small farms and roasters a better chance to be found.

The name

Kope (pronounced koh-peh) is the Hawaiian word for coffee. When coffee first arrived in Hawaii in the early 1800s, it was given this name — and it has stuck for two centuries.
