Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many Maui visitors want to show their support to locally owned businesses. Even with Starbucks Coffee Stores in several locations on every side of the island (except east Maui thank goodness), locally owned and operated coffee stores are popular with residents and visitors.
There are several local owned coffee shops on Maui. Here are a few options:
- Akamai Coffee Co. – Located in Kihei, Wailea and Kahului, this coffee shop roasts their own beans and offers a variety of drinks and snacks. They are closed on Sundays.
2. Maui Coffee Roasters – This coffee shop has locations in Lahaina and Kahului and also roasts their own beans. They offer a variety of drinks and pastries.

7. Maui Coffee Attic – This quaint, 1950s-style cafe in Wailuku serves coffee with a kick. They are a neighborhood cafe with many volunteers helping to cater to the needs of the community.
