Lion Coffee

Honolulu


In an out-of-the-way warehouse west of downtown en route to the airport, this discount grown-in-Hawaii coffee giant roasts myriad flavors, ranging from straight-up strong (100% Kona 24-Karat and Diamond Head espresso blend) to outlandishly wacky (chocolate mac-nut, toasted coconut). There are 30-minute tours at 10:30am and 12:30pm Monday to Friday, which include complimentary tastings. There's also a full espresso bar.
