Story Maui

Story Maui sits a block from Paia bay, where surf checks and cortados share the same morning. The bar runs single origins from Origin Kona and a rotating roster of mainland roasters worth flying. Espresso is dialed for nuance, not punch. Pour-overs land in pottery cups that staff knows by name. On any given morning you will see locals who have been ordering the same drink for years, surfers still salt-rimmed from dawn patrol, and visitors who came for an iced latte and stayed for the conversation. Order the macadamia latte if you want the version of Maui that Maui actually drinks. Order the Geisha pour-over if you came because someone told you Story is the move.
