Kitchen Staff

The Sunrise Shack was never just about coffee, it was, and always will be about making the most of life, and we find the best way to do that is by making the most out of each day.

The shack was technically born in 2016 on a small plumeria farm in the heart of Oahu’s north shore, but the seed was planted in the hearts of the founders long before then.

Alex, Travis, and Koa Smith, along with their good friend Koa Rothman are all surfers raised by the Hawaiian Islands, and they feel that their upbringing has inspired the Sunrise Shack to be what it is today.

Hawaii Nei has taught us to value our health, happiness, and community. Its beauty and energy are constantly slowing us down and filling us up, putting smiles on our faces and bringing a lightness to our hearts.

We want the Sunrise Shack to radiate the aloha of these islands!
