Aloha Friday: Coffee Tasting & Coworking with ThriveHI
Join us for a morning of coffee and community at The Sandbox.
We're bringing in Shawn Steiman, PhD—founder of Grok Coffee—to lead a guided tasting featuring a variety of coffees local to Hawai‘i. Along the way, he’ll share insights into Hawai‘i’s unique coffee scene and what makes our islands’ beans unlike any other.
After the tasting, stick around for open coworking. Bring your laptop, settle in, and connect with others in the ThriveHI and Hub Co-working communities.
