Talk about creative latte flavors! I can't imagine how/when I'll be able to try them all because they have what's posted on the regular menu and then the "off menu" staff creations and everything literally sounds great. The brew is strong; the staff are super friendly and helpful; and you've probably never had a latte like this before read more

I am suspect of all the very positive reviews. Too many things went wrong for me to thing that this was just an off day. I had coffee with an espresso shot and it was good. I was looking or a great breakfast sammy and this place was disappointing. It came up as the #3 of the list of "best breakfast sandwiches around me". Like Starbucks, the breakfast sammy are pre-made and heated. This doesn't qualify. The decor is sterile like a Starbucks got together with Coldstone and launched a Hawaiian coffee shop. The Coldstone reference is that employees "greet" people when they arrive and announce tips. They do it in a half-hearted manner like they are bothered. I'd be bothered too working hard and being forced to do inauthentic customer service. I had to wait 15 minutes for the coffee. I heard one of the employees apologizing to another customer. I would have appreciated him saying something like this to me, "we are shorthanded, can you wait 15 minutes for your coffee?" The barista was calling out customer names when she finished a drink. In my case, she left it in front of a guy who had a large order. It wasn't until he left that I waded over to find my unannounced coffee. Keep in mind that I like offbeat coffee shops that don't feel like a chain. I also have high standards when it come to breakfast sammy's. read more

I stopped by Bad Ass Coffee and decided to try their 100% Kona blend, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The flavor was smooth, rich, and had that perfect balance without being too bitter or too strong. You can really taste the quality in every sip--it's the kind of coffee you actually slow down and enjoy! read more

Grabbed a drink before the movies. Had a pina colada smoothie. The flavor was pretty good, but not much pineapple flavor. I will definitely try more as I love smoothies. read more

First time here and had a lovely experience. I ordered one of the employee made lattes - I think it was called Blondie Latte and wow was it amazing. It tasted like maple pancakes! The staff were nice and easy going. The vibe is family owned and Hawaii beach vibe. The menu was extensive so I can't wait to come back! read more

Bad Ass Coffee definitely caters to a flavor profile, but it happens to be mine. The Beach Bliss latte comes with white chocolate and macadamia nut inside and it's sweet! The Bad Ass One breakfast sandwich was good with the spam and pineapple on a Hawaiian sweet roll. The entire meal came with lots of sugar, but it tasted good. The space comes with a few tables and restrooms are in the back. At 9:30am on a Monday, there was a line that moved slowly, but those working were nice. read more

I wasn't expecting this, but wow. This new coffee gem came out swinging with the bold, strong brew I've been chasing. I used to make the long trek to my favorite coffee place... but now? I think I found a new go-to. Bonus points for easy parking right out front, and it's literally across from Wegmans, so coffee + grocery run = handled. As someone from Hawai'i, I was happy to see a place like this here. There's a little island soul in the vibe, and the badass backstory behind the shop is inspiring. Real grit, real flavor. Go and show them some aloha!!!! read more

I would like to say first off that the people working here are so so friendly. I would come back for that alone. They have a ton of unique lattes-especially if you like lattes with fruity flavors. Had the bananaloha which was very sweet but I expected that. Coffee is decent if you're in the area and need a quick drink! read more

We stopped by this morning to check it out & it didn't disappoint. The latte was sooo darn good and the fact that it has coffee ices cubes makes it so much better. I was able to enjoy a delicious coffee that doesn't get watered down and it wasn't overly sweet. It was perfection! One thing i probably won't purchase again is the breakfast sandwich, I wasn't a huge fan of the Hawaiian bread with the egg cheese and bacon but other than that i definitely will be back for more lattes. The place was calm and very cute from inside. The person at the register was nice as well. read more

Straight up sugar when I ordered monkey mocha... didn't taste any coffee or any caffeine to keep me awake during overcast day. Breakfast sandwich was just basic and nothing special about it. Service was alright and quick though. Friendly staff working there. read more

Besides the cool name, the drinks and snacks were basic. The matcha latte was just okay. It was much on the sweeter side and it felt grainy in my mouth. The hazelnut hula drink was sweet and good, but it doesn't stick out as a coffee shop. They need to get rid of the grilled cheese to stop people from wasting their money. It looked sad, like it was thrown into the microwave. There was barely any cheese, small and unappetizing. The service was great though! I forgot her name, but she helped me decide what drinks I should get. Still not worth coming back for anything. read more

Great coffee place in Alexandria! I personally think Kona Coffee is one of the best coffees to have ever graced the world with so this was definitely a no brainer when I went. There wasn't anyone when I walked in earlier but the staff was friendly and even said Aloha when walking in. I wasn't craving much but I wanted to try out their Nitro Cold Brew w/ foam and their Bad Ass One Sandwich. The Nitro Cold Brew is really smooth and it's just the right amount of perfect for me. I don't mind drinking it black because it helps me with my diet and I guess the taste is something I'm used to now. The Bad Ass One Sandwich, with Spam, Egg, Swiss cheese, BBQ glaze over Kings Hawaiian buns, this was such a great item to eat for a quick brunch! It's unique to this area. I don't think I have experienced any other places around here that do Kona Coffee. It's so good! Please try this place out! read more

I can't get over how great this place is! Parking can be hit or miss. There is limited street parking right out front, but there is additional parking and a parking garage not far. The prices are a little high but I am definitely okay with that since the quality is so great! The sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on Hawaiian bread is delicious! AND the frozen coffee ice cubes keep your coffee tasting good without worrying about being watered down. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

Love that they brought a little taste of Hawaii to the DMV area and getting to read the story behind Bad Ass Coffee of the donkeys in Kona, Hawaii. I ordered the Hazelnut Hula, which has hazelnut, caramel, and dark chocolate. I loved that it was still intense in Coffee yet balanced out with the dark chocolate where it wasn't overly sweet and just enough. Service here was friendly and very efficient and quick. read more

In town for a wedding & got introduced to this spot. The Employee's are amazing. The vibe is laid back with seats inside.

Been wanting to try this coffee spot for a min! My cousin and i decided to try the hazelnut hula, iced matcha with macadamia nut (recommended by the staff), and a grilled cheese. The lady at the front was very sweet and welcoming! She informed us on all the drinks and told us the popular ones. The matcha latte was good but too sweet for my liking. I could also taste grains of sugar in the drink which I didn't love. I'm assuming because it didn't melt? The hazelnut hula was pretty good as well if you're into a more chocolate nutty type of drink. It wasn't my fav either. Unfortunately, thhe grilled cheese was very underwhelming. It didn't look like the picture and was very small and thin. I don't recommend it. Overall it was a mediocre first time experience. However, I am hopeful to find a drink that i'll like when I come back! read more

Staff is friendly and helpful. Food is okay but not very flavorful. Coffee is nice. Parking is paid but not unreasonable

This place is absolutely amazing! The coffee is very smooth and rich in flavor. The staff is also incredibly friendly. Overall definitely one of my favorite coffee shops! read more

Real Hawaiian coffee (you can ask for 100% Kona for a slight upcharge - otherwise it's Hawaiian blend) served up in a cool laid-back spot with all the good Hawaiian aloha! Had the Kreme de Kona iced and the Caramel Wave hot. All the usual alternative milks are offered. Guys - this is legit da kine ono coffee! Yes, the coffee is that good! They even offer real coffee ice cubes with their iced drinks so it doesn't get all nasty and watered down at the bottom. We also had the malasadas and a blueberry lemon cream cheese muffin - super tasty! Malasadas were especially delicious- soft and warm and covered in cinnamon sugar (this is what churros can only dream of being)! Servers are friendly and helpful. Service was fast even with a line. They offer an app for order ahead and to get points for future purchases. Parking is on street or in the city center garage. They're right next to the back of the AMC theaters. Wish they were closer but maybe a good thing they aren't because I'd be here every day! read more

My first time trying this place. Very unique flavor mixes and a lot of food options. The staff was very average. They weren't rude but they weren't super friendly either. The place just launched a few new flavors that are unique in comparison of another coffee shop. I tried one of the new flavors. It was supposed to be a raspberry flavor but it tasted kind of bland. This place costs a dollar or so more than Starbucks depending on what kind of drink you get (s/m/l size). I wouldn't return but nice to try something different than my usual SB order. read more

Server was extremely friendly and made it super easy for me to choose what to drink and eat as it was my first time here! He gave me the most popular drinks as well as his personal favorites so I decided to try the hazelnut hula and lemon blueberry muffin based off these recommendations Hazelnut hula - 4/5 very smooth, not bitter or acidic af all and had a nice balance of coffee and nuttiness. they definitely win for having coffee ice cubes!! Super nice and not watered down at all Lemon blueberry muffin - 5/5 best muffin hands down. The blueberry and lemon flavor come through nicely, I like the little grains on top that add more texture and they have a small yogurt filled center that doesn't overpower the muffin but adds so much moisture to the whole muffin and a yummy extra bite when you get to it!! read more

Saw this place on Yelp while looking for a quick coffee/breakfast place in the area. I've seen it come up a lot and we got curious. This was on Christmas Eve so the place wasn't super packed or anything but the inside was decorated nicely and it seemed like a nice spot to spend a little time. The huge menu of unique drinks made deciding hard but we're just gonna have to come back. We got the Blended Chai, and Iced Three Waves, an Aloha Sandwich, The Bad Ass One sandwich, and the Cinnamon Malasadas. The wait time wasn't too bad, little under 10 min. Also seemed like they were cranking out a bunch of mobile orders. The iced Three Waves was really good. Not crazy sweet and could taste the coconut, caramel, and macadamia too. The Bad Ass One sandwich was so good, really hit the spot. To be fair I'm a big spam fan. The spam, cheese, egg, and pineapple on a King's Hawaiian bun is a great combo. The malasada was also really good. Warm, soft, and lots of cinnamon sugar. Very messy though. May be my new go to coffee/breakfast spot in Alexandria now. Parking was a little bit of an issue so I need to figure that out but aside from that it's very worth it! read more

Came in about 30 minutes before closing. I was nervous they wouldn't be able to complete our order but no issues. My daughter got the little chiller- think frozen hot chocolate and I got the blonde caramel gingerbread coffee. I was able to do decaf. It wasn't too sweet and the whip cream or drizzle on top was perfection. The shop was decent size and well kept. Bathrooms were unisex and clean. Everything was nice and new. Good vibe and a nice selection of coffees and food. They also have a back wall full of merch which is nice. I grabbed a chap stick and cookie to go. Would like to return when in the area. Prices were competitive to bucks and DD. read more

I came here for their coffee ice which I've been trying to find since having it in a coffee shop in New York. The employee ensured all their iced lattes come with the coffee ice automatically. I got their iced beach bliss latte which is white chocolate and macadamia nut. It was pretty good and there's a good amount of seating available inside to enjoy it. There's also more outdoor benches and seating nearby which was convenient. Overall I thought my drink was good, nothing amazing but nice to know its in this area. read more

Very nice coffee shop, although a bit small in my opinion! I had the 100 percent Kona coffee, which I thought was better than the average drip coffee. I personally wish they would list the ingredients in the drinks, like the slush-looking drinks for example, because they look like they "might" have artificial dyes (not sure if they do, so do not quote me on that), and I personally avoid artificial dyes. Other than that, everything else was good! I might come back in to try a different drink and maybe a pastry. read more

The coffee here is pretty amazing! I consider myself to be a coffee aficionado of sorts and I was pleasantly surprised at how good my drink was. I tried the Iced Three Waves Latte. It has Coconut, Caramel, & Macadamia Nut syrup in it. It was so delicious, I could really taste the Macadamia Nut in the latte. I also love how the ice is actually frozen coffee! How cool is that?! So as the ice was melting, my drink never tasted watery like it would if I were at *cough, cough, Starbucks or Dunkin* The staff members I interacted with were nice, I visited on a Sunday and they were pretty fast in making my drink. It's really a cute shop near the Wegman's, I love the decor. I will certainly be back! read more

Lots of orders so you may have to wait in line. Not a lot of indoor seating so get ready to wait or find seats around the area, maybe in front of the nearby mall, almost just across the street. Drinks were great but the strawberry smoothie was too sweet and doesn't taste natural? Download the app for rewards! They have a good reward system. This is the only location within metro DMV area. Would be back again when we got nothing to do. We walked there from a hotel so I'm not sure if the street parking are free, there are garages though. read more

Take my review with a grain of salt - I'm reviewing the chai tea drink primarily (unless you are a chai tea lover like me, then this is for you!). To be frank, I found the chai to taste way too sweet, and almost syrupy. Personally, I am a fan of "real" tea (of course, doctored up with milk and sugar etc), but something about this tea was totally off to me. I thought the ambiance was super cute (photos attached), and I liked the general vibe of the place. However, just returning from a vacation from Hawaii - you could probably get this stuff online for cheaper (and perhaps truly made in Hawaii!). I wish my review was more positive - I'll probably still come back to try the actual coffee, and may post an update at that time. read more
