In their words

The story

Ali’i Coffee Co. was born in a humble garage in 2014, fueled by a passion for exceptional Hawaiian coffee and a commitment to quality. We started small, brewing at local events and farmers markets across Oahu, connecting with our island community one cup at a time. In 2018, we opened our first coffee shop in Downtown Honolulu, bringing our signature craft coffee to the heart of Oahu. Since then, Ali’i Coffee Co. has expanded to three Oahu locations and one in Kaua’i, becoming a favorite local spot for both residents and visitors looking for the best coffee in Hawaii.
