Common questions

Visiting Imua Coffee Roasters

What are Imua Coffee Roasters' hours?

They're open Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and Sunday 7:00 to 11:00 AM. Sunday hours are notably shorter, so plan to arrive early if visiting on a weekend.

Is Imua Coffee Roasters vegan-friendly?

Yes — the entire menu is 100% plant-based, using ingredients from local Kauai farms. They do not offer dairy-based milk options, so if you require a dairy latte, this isn't the right spot.

Is there parking at Imua Coffee Roasters?

Yes, free parking is available at their Aleka Place location in Kapa'a. Arriving early is a good idea as it's a popular spot.

Does Imua roast their own coffee on-site?

Yes — owner Matt personally roasts all coffee in-house in small batches. When available, they also feature coffee grown on Kaua'i itself for a true taste of the island.

Is Imua Coffee a good place to work on a laptop?

Yes, it's considered quiet for work. The outdoor patio provides a calm setting, and the pace is intentionally relaxed — well-suited for a slow, focused morning.

Can I buy Imua beans or have them shipped to the mainland?

Imua Coffee ships direct, so you can order their house-roasted beans online. Check their website for current availability, as small-batch production means the selection can vary.
