Kailua Town Coffee Roasters

In operation since 2010, this is a working production roastery — the three-days-a-week, five-hour window tells you where the focus is, and it isn't on being a café. They roast small batches of Hawaiian coffee and ship direct, which if you care about freshness is honestly the right way to get beans anyway. The sourcing covers Big Island, Kona, and Oahu-grown coffee, including the Cataui varietal. Climate-controlled green-bean storage is a quiet but meaningful detail; on Oahu, ambient humidity is exactly the sort of thing that can quietly compromise green coffee long before it ever reaches the roaster.

Founded in 2010, Brad and Donna began with a small roaster and a desire to create the perfect cup of coffee. Through countless trials, roasts, and cuppings, they arrived at their goals in 2010 and haven't slowed down since. In 2020, the business expanded with the addition of now owner Patrick Williams. In addition to a fantastic new roasting location, the team is now able to really put the specialty roaster to work with stable bean storage in a climate controlled environment. Since 2010, Kailua Town Coffee Roasters has been roasting fresh, small-batch Hawaiian coffee for the local Oahu community. From our signature Kona Coffee to Waialua Coffee and Surfers Blend, every batch is crafted to highlight the rich flavors and unique character of the islands and other amazing coffee-growing communities across the globe.
