Beach Bum Café, a new microbrew coffee house, serves and sells only 100% Hawai'i-grown coffee. The café features coffees specially chosen for their unique and extraordinary flavor by owner Dennis McQuoid, with the assistance of Shawn Steiman of Coffea Consulting. The coffee selection includes brews and beans so rare they are served nowhere else in Hawai'i. The microbrew café model allows customers to select from a multitude of coffees and brew methods, including espresso, Chemex, vacuum pot, and cloth filter. Each beverage is made explicitly for the customer, one cup at a time.
Our Mission
Our mission is to present the delicate and various flavors of Hawaiian coffees in their best possible form: freshly picked, freshly roasted, and brewed by hand - one cup at a time.
Why the name Beach Bum Café?
Two things Hawaii is most famous for: beautiful beaches and wonderful coffee. Both invoke feelings of relaxation and rejuvenation. Those are the feelings we wish to inspire when you enjoy the best Hawaiian coffee prepared to perfection at our coffee house. And who wouldn't want to be a beach bum, even if only while daydreaming over a sweet-smelling cup of Hawaiian coffee?
What is a Microbrew Coffee House?
Our coffee is roasted in very small batches to insure you get the freshest coffee possible. The best way to brew fresh coffee is in small quantities, by hand, one cup at a time -- or you could say, as a "microbrew". Beach Bum Café is a coffee house that uses the microbrew method to produce the finest coffee you'll ever drink.
HOURS Beach Bum Caf̩'s regular hours of business will be Monday through Friday, 7 am to 4 pm. The caf̩ will also open for special events, such as First Fridays.
Beach Bum Café, located at 1088 Bishop Street, Suite 101, Honolulu, HI, 96813, celebrates its grand opening during Downtown Honolulu's First Friday on February 4th, 2011. Special business hours on this day are 7AM to 9 PM.
Beach Bum Café is the brainchild of Dennis McQuoid. "I looked around and realized that no café on Oahu serves what I call 'thought-provoking coffees,' so I decided to open Beach Bum Café to fill the niche," McQuoid says. "As far as I know, no café in Hawai'i has yet to attempt this type of microbrew service and variety of coffee selection. Even our espresso blend is 100% Hawaiian coffee, which is very unusual."
