Hawaiian coffee roasted in New York, from Kona and Ka'u farms.
Kona Coffee Roasters opened in 2017 after its founder set out to give New Yorkers a place to forget everything and relax. The beans come from farms on the slopes of Mauna Loa and Hualalai on the Big Island, and from Ka'u, shipped to the city each month and roasted there.
The cafes in Midtown, Chelsea and East Village serve Hawaiian lattes and coconut matcha. A coffee omakase of four drink-and-bite courses returned in spring 2026 with Coffee by Jon.
