oh my, the coffee was sooooo good, I finished it and forgot to take a photo, so here's a photo of their beautiful wall decor while I was waiting for my cup of joe :D impeccable services. tip: must try the three waves!! HOT or COLD (enjoy the coffee ice cubes)

Ooooooo discovered this place just cuz I wanted coffee so I searched up coffee. The inside definitely fits the Hawaiian theme!!! The inside is quite spacious and very nice decorated!!! Also outside seating. So plenty of seating!!! Here is the most important one part. The coffee, at first I was like why does the ice look weird and realized that it was coffee cubes!!! Like yes yes yes and yes plsssssss. This makes me want to go more. Never been to a place that serves it in coffeee cubes!!! The coffee is in the darker side which I do love and I also Love that the Bad Ass Mocha didn't taste too sweet!!! RANDOM STORY but giving them extra points!! I hurt myself with the door and I did start bleeding so I did ask for a band aid. And shout out to the guy for getting me a bandaid but also the band aid fits their theme!!! But be warned with sandals and the door lolz. Broke my nail and bleed a bit lolz

Kick ass coffee! I got the iced Kona coffee and it was flavorful and yummy. When I got to the bottom, I noticed that the ice cubes were coffee ice cubes! How cool is that, I've never seen that, but it's genius. The staff is very helpful by describing the different drinks and recommending things based on my likes. I love the vibe here, it's friendly and inviting! Mahalo Bad Ass owners

First off, automatic 5 stars for the coffee ice cubes in the ice lattes. I don't care if the coffee tastes like crude oil, the pure logical simplicity of coffee ice cubes is a mic drop moment. I always feel like it's a sprint to drink my latte before the ice melts, but now I can take it easy like I'm in Hawaii and enjoy my latte slowly because I know I'll just get more coffee when the ice cubes melt. To further support the rating, the coffee is also delicious and in no way tastes like crude oil. It's is more darkly roasted and more bitter, which I love. I tried both the hot and iced lattes and both are worth supporting my expensive coffee habits. The barista said the 100% Kona is their best seller. They have a variety of flavored lattes and teas also. There is a breakfast and pastry menu also, which I have not tried. Mobile order is available. The story of how this coffee shop got its namesake is also interesting and is printed on the cups. Don't want to spoil it, you will just have to come in. Parking is via a private lot. Comfortable indoor seating available. I've driven past this shop a lot on my way tot he gym and glad I stopped in for the wonderful experience. Please drop in and create your own experience.

Bad ass usually hosts our coffee jobs once a month. Come enjoy a hot, iced or blended coffee with pastries and/or hot bfast sandwiches.

I wanted to try a new coffee spot on my way home from a haircut and Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii seemed interesting enough! Here's what I ordered: **Iced Americano: Had the option to choose between regular ice cubes and coffee ice cubes. The obvious choice was to get coffee ice cubes. Coffee was nice and strong. (5/5) **Cold Brew Lemonade: This came with a coconut foam which was very interesting. The flavors all together were honestly quite weird but I like weird drinks. On the bright side, it was very refreshing and I recommend it on a hot day when you can't decide whether to order coffee or lemonade. The cold brew itself was definitely on the lighter side and their lemonade had a tap water aftertaste but the drink surprisingly worked all together. (4/5) Jake provided exceptional service. It's really great to see the younger generation shine in the customer service industry. The cold brew itself wasn't good enough to WOW me but a decent local coffee spot with plenty of seating available. If I'm in the area I may try it again but I won't go out of my way to come here or a different location.

First time here. I love getting coffee while visiting Hawaii so I closed my eyes and pretended I was back on the island Anyway. Real cute store! Great merchandise and great drinks. I read from other reviewers that their ice cubes are made out of coffee! We love that. I got the seasonal island pumpkin pie iced latte. It was yummy! Not too sweet which I was concerned about. Didn't get greeted while walking in or while picking up my drink. But once I said thank you the barista responded thank you have a good day. Si that's something. I'll probably come back and visit with my husband he loves macadamia flavored coffee!

Cute corner coffee shop - love the location and the pace of life. Kona 10% blend has been my favorite so far. Clean establishment and fast WiFi. Average amount of seating available. Mornings aren't that crowded on weekdays.

First and foremost the service at 6AM was calm and kind, being greeted by with a smile and an on point Hawaiian music. I appreciated the introduction to their specialties with beans and coffee menu as it was my first time there. I walked out with a 100% Kona black coffee to start off my day and just appreciated the freshly French-pressed beans. I'll be coming back to try more, and possible to a quick cowork session or coffee chat.
