Established in 2019 by Nascar driver Trevor Bayne, Mahalo Coffee Roasters was born out of a deep love for specialty coffee. Bayne’s vision was to “bring the west coast east”, via a surf-inspired roastery back in his hometown in Knoxville, TN. Inspired by the warmth and gratitude expressed in Hawaiian culture he experienced while visiting the islands, the name “Mahalo” was chosen as a reminder to be thankful for the support of friends and the community. With a focus on supporting international coffee farmers and educating the community on “third wave coffee,” Mahalo Coffee Roasters strives to deliver profound coffee experiences to its customers.
