Kona Story
Every cup gives back
All of the money Kona Coffee Roasters earns goes to Kona Donation, a non-profit organization. Kona Donation then puts it to work serving our community and giving back to the people and causes around us.
So when you pick up a bag of beans, a latte, or a pastry from us, you're not just supporting a coffee shop. You're funding Kona Donation's work in the community. Thank you for being part of it.
Where it started
We opened our first café in the East Village in 2017 to share the best Hawaiian coffee with New York, and thanks to your support we've kept growing ever since. Wherever we open, we're all about bringing the aloha spirit to NYC and reminding everyone it's okay to slow down and take a breath.
Kona coffee is one of the rarest coffees in the world, grown on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the Kona Districts of Hawaii's Big Island. We partner closely with our farmers there, and every month our coffee is flown from Hawaii to New York.
They say at least 100 hands touch every coffee bean. That's a huge shout out to the farmers of Hawaii who plant, grow, harvest, and wash each one, and we're dedicated to supporting them through direct sourcing.
