After a trip to New Zealand and Australia in 2019, where excellent, dairy-free coconut yogurts are widely available, the founders of Koko Kai Yogurt were inspired! Unfortunately, at the time, their busy lifestyle and jobs did not allow them to formally put a plan together to create such a product on the island.

Flash forward to March 2020, and the onset of Covid-19 related shutdowns, Aline's successful private Chef business came to a screeching halt and Jon's web development projects slowed down as well. With time on their hands and no place to go, they decided it was time to put their passion and skills to good use. Aline and Jon have worked hard since then to bring the inspiration back to our islands and produce our very own, made-in Hawaiʻi coconut yogurt. After months of testing, some recipe successes, and some failures, Koko Kai Organic Coconut yogurt was born.

They are proud to work with farmers from around the islands to bring you the only product of this type made in Hawaiʻi and using fresh local ingredients whenever possible.

"Koko" is short for coconut and a shout-out to Koko Head in East Honolulu, and "Kai" refers to being lucky to live by the ocean.

Koko Kai Yogurt is run by Chef Aline, who has been a private chef in Honolulu since 2008, and Jon, an experienced web designer with 15+ years of web development and programming experience.
