The verdict
A high-energy hub near the airport that's genuinely good for a hearty breakfast bagel and a strong, smooth roast to kick off or end your trip. The variety of beans for sale and the food menu make it a convenient, high-quality stop for those who can handle a bit of chaos. If you're looking for a quiet, slow-paced sanctuary to linger over a latte, or if you're in a rush and need a guaranteed 5-minute turnaround on food, this isn't it.

Receipt
In their words
Coffee first reached the Hawaiian Islands in 1827 when King Kamehameha II received a shipment of coffee trees from England. 150 years later, Nicky Matichyn used the descendants of those first beans to build on a good idea by opening the doors here at Maui Coffee Roasters in 1982. It all started when a group of friends became involved in a café. Maui Coffee Roasters is committed to the highest quality of product and ensures exceptional coffee through small batch roasting of both Hawaiian and international beans at our facility in downtown Kahului. After 30 years, we haven’t missed a beat. We’re still pouring the good stuff, and long before franchise coffee chains filtered into the islands we have been a well-loved local favorite.
