Mahalo Coffee Roasters

Mahalo Coffee Roasters is a surf-inspired roastery in Knoxville, Tennessee, founded by Bayne to "bring the west coast east" in his hometown. The name comes from the warmth and gratitude he experienced in Hawaiian culture.

Mahalo roasts light to medium in the third-wave tradition, roasting fresh Monday through Friday, and its team holds regular cuppings. It focuses on supporting coffee farmers and on community education. Coffee and subscriptions are sold online, and wholesale, cafe equipment and barista training are offered.
