Funky name, reminiscent of a beach with a 'tude. Not exactlhy how you would describe Bad Ass' fit to Naples. On Sunday morning, there were empty tables and no line at the Bad Ass counter, while a half block away at Janes' and Tony's on Third, there were patrons waiting and lines for take-out. Bad Ass still thinks it's on a funky beach, with untidy shop space and an offer of lots to drink with very little to eat. I had a 100% Hawaiian coffee (??) and a mash up of cherries and chocolate in a pretty dry scone for about $6.. Florida's had to have been a State that is wary of how both its farmers and its farmworkers are treated, Bad Ass, on th eother hand, is pretty cavalier about the ag industry in its home State Hawaii. Kona Coffee comes from about 700 family run farms on roughly a 30 mile long swath of volcanic mountainside. Labelling requirements are enforceable by the State of Hawaii, but not by the feds. So, Bad Ass continues to tout the Kona name without helping the industry gain some Stateside protections. Guess I'll go wait in the long line around the corner the next time. The coffee tutorial here on these disheveled couches was depressing. read more

"Bad Ass" is not the first adjective I'd use to describe Naples, FL but I think this place might actually do well among the seemingly conservative elderly that create Naples' foundation. VARIETY Covering a large chalkboard (favored medium by coffee houses) are dozens of hot/cold coffee, blends, and tea choices. There were enough choices to please my varied group. Need a souvenir? You can walk out decked in Bad Ass Coffee t-shirts, keychains, mugs and more. A general consensus-- Any cold coffee with "added flavors" resulted in a very weak "added flavor" (more like a dashing after taste) and a watered down coffee. Regular coffee was pretty good though. SERVICE Too many selections or newbie team? During my recent order, the young barrista looked flustered and took a while to first remember what went into making my order. After making our coffee, they quickly yell what it is then leave it on the counter and turn their backs... is this to avoid questions? This is also a recipe for customers stealing. SURROUNDINGS It's an oasis-- really! You step away from the poshy white pillars of Naples's 3rd Street and into a faux Hawaiian tiki lounge. It's clean, comfy, and positioned to provide relaxing conversation between patrons. read more

Bad ass coffee is BAD ASS! Great drinks and nice people. Located in the heart of downtown. They have wonderful decorations and the outside seating is cozy. I just moved to Naples and have been trying new places. This one is one I'll definitely be going back to. read more

Great walk in coffee shop here in olde Naples. It's a cute place tucked back in a little strip mall right after all the hustle and bustle of 3rd st. They have good coffee, espresso and baked goods. I didn't try the little donuts but they looked so good!! I had a plain drip coffee (I'm boring) w cream and simple sweetener. YUM! They also have liquid brown sugar and a few other sweeteners for the drinks. I like a good local coffee shop and this is one for the books :) Tip: it's kinda tucked away so don't think it's not there it is...right before the 7/11. read more

Great coffee spot in downtown Naples! Loved the name so we stopped in and were not disappointed. Got the mini donuts and some coffee and both were delicious! Friendly service and and all around cool spot. read more

Bad Ass Coffee is my favorite coffee shop in Naples, I go several times per week. It's a bit of a drive for me (10-15 minutes, versus the 5 it takes to get to the nearest Starbucks in King's Lake), but definitely worth it. My usual is iced coffee, but I sometimes switch to hot, and both are very good, CONSISTENTLY. For the 3 years I worked at Starbucks, I usually drank anything but coffee while at work (a lot of iced black tea lemonades), believing that I just didn't care for coffee. It wasn't until trying other coffee shops that I realized that NOT ALL COFFEE TASTES BITTER AND SLIGHTLY BURNED, ahem. They have a lot of options as far as syrups (including coconut!), and a separate menu of specialty drinks. They also do soft-serve ice cream. Free refills, free Wi-Fi, some outdoor seating, clean bathrooms. The staff is friendly, their 'frequent shopper' punch card system is a nice touch. One downside (for some) is that there's a TV, and it's usually tuned to Fox News. But it's usually muted, and the remote sits on a table between two comfy chairs, inviting customers to change the channel. :P read more

Completely overrated, tacky, poorly prepared coffee. The way this place bills itself you would think you were going to have a cup of Intelligentsia in Chicago. Overroasted beans make a burnt tasting cup, further exacerbated by the insanely high serving temperature of the brewed coffee. This is the one instance in which you'd be better off at Starbucks. read more

Seriously the best coffee in SWFL! Very cozy atmosphere inside and lots of sugar free options available on the menu. Hidden gem in downtown Naples! If only they had a location in the Fort Myers area. read more

Fun, nice coffee shop. They just can't seem to get their bathroom working. We have been going here since May, a couple times a week and the bathroom is "Out of Order" most of our visits. They spent a lot of money on expanding their seating area I would think the bathroom wouldn't be too much to get operable. read more

Visiting Naples and was a short walk from our rental! We loved everything about this coffee shop! Best iced coffees and shaken espressos we've ever had! Beats Starbucks by a long shot! Staff was always so welcoming and friendly. We were sad to leave! Please come to Amelia Island FL! read more

So went for coffee because we had a coupon. They screwed up our order. There was no distinction in taste between a cappuccino and cafe au lei, tasted the same. Temperature of coffee was inconsistent from cup to cup. Some coffee was warm and They don't boil their water for coffee and we had someone whose stomach can't tolerate that. Other coffee was way too hot, burnt our tongues. They don't have brown/raw sugar out. You gotta ask for it, and they give out those precious sugar packets one at a time. Prices are cheap. Won't be back. read more

My new Naples coffee house. I am new to coffee and only drink espresso drinks (iced latte is my preference). I come to Naples 2x a year so I wanted to check out the local baristas and came to Bad Ass on my last day. I found the coffee excellent and the prices very good. My new go-to place. read more

Local small town coffee house vibe. Frozen kona coffee was frappuccino-esk but was super sweet. Nice caffeine jolt after hours in the car touring the area. read more

I liked this place and would definitely frequent it if I lived in the area. The staff was friendly and even told us about a place that had breakfast sandwiches nearby since they said they couldn't make an egg and cheese happen there. I appreciated that even if the suggested place wasn't that great. As for the coffee, I got an iced chai tea and it was delicious. They had the relaxed coffee shop vibe down. We took our coffees to go and walked down to the beach. read more

If you're thinking about coming here you should just do it already. The atmosphere is so neat and the flavored lattes are really good (but a flavored "granita" is by far my favorite)! They even have a loyalty card which I was thrilled about because I seem to crave the coffee now read more

Good service, friendly helpful staff, tasty coffees, fun atmosphere. The vibe is good and you can hang out and use the WiFi while you sip a fancy or plain coffee. read more

A sigh of relief from the typical Starbucks joint. Not a huge place, but they still managed to keep the machinery noises to a minimum and not treat customers like cattle. Delicious blueberry muffin and awesome Kona coffee. I stayed way longer than I planned to and experienced this place in both peak and calm hours. The staff was fast and friendly. Caters mainly to retirees and vacationers but still worth a visit. read more

This is authentic Kona coffee--with a friendly, laid back attitude. Feel like I'm back in Hawaii--without the cruise ship hassles ! read more

Great coffee in a great atmosphere. Some baked goods. Large TV with couches and tables inside or tables and chairs outside. Everyone knows your name there. Cool atmosphere, very laid back. Tropical. Small place though and sometimes it can be quite busy. read more

This place beats out any other coffee shop. I love the coffee and they always make it right. Every time I'm in Naples I always make a point to get some. Highly recommend. read more

Snickerlicious* I love Bad Ass! This place is the BEST...seriously. My daughter asks to go all the time. When we go to the beach she has to have a smoothie and I get my coffee. Everyone there is friendly and they've never mistaken anything. I've had weeks where I've had time to stop in every morning. Definitely a local treat and recommendation for any coffee addicts that need a fix. read more

Go for the name, stay for the coffee. Sit inside, outside.. walk around 3rd street... head over to the pier. The options are endless when you grab a cup o' joe from B.A.C. I've now tried their specialty drinks, their Kona, and their regular coffee (hot and iced) and have never been disappointed. Neither in the actual coffee nor with our service. Staff is friendly, helpful, and always with a smile. They also have a great program where you can ship coffee overseas for our troops. A *little* pricey, but not really compared to other coffee houses around the globe let alone in the area. C'mon: you're in downtown old Naples near a Tommy Bahama restaurant, Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vine stores, and multi-million dollar houses... Even a Hinckley Yacht store is nearby! You do have to expect things to be a bit more money for the million-dollar ambiance alone but, honestly, their coffee is certainly worth the price tag. If you're headed over to the Boat Parade this weekend or just out and about after the Farmers Market on Saturday, head over to Bad Ass Coffee to put a little extra energy in your step and a smile on your face! read more

This is such a cute spot in downtown Naples and sits right next to a cute surf shop. Customer service is always great and the beach themes inside go along with the naples area. The shop is a couple streets away from the beach and is a perfect way to start your beach day. read more

We visit this coffee shop about twice a month. We absolutely love the Kona and Kona blends. If you. Ask for heavy cream, keto friendly creamer, they will provide for a small charge. The boldness of the dark roast, another favorite, is right on point with plenty of body. You may have to wait in line but it's always worth it. read more

We had a couple of iced coffee's. Both 100% Kona. Why do 10% or get anything less? Cute place to get out of the heat

If you are looking for a coffee place that has attitude than this is the place. The 100% iced Kona is refreshing and the flavors of the day are always unique and intriguing. The service is out if this world as they get to know you your drink will be ready and waiting, once they see you arrive!!! Hot, iced, blended... Any way you want it they can make it happen! They even have a small assortment of tea for those that aren't coffee fans!!! If you are tired of the big box coffee places this is the place for you!!!! read more

Bad Ass Coffee - Enjoying a Kreme Brûlée coffee this morning!!! Stop on by!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Naples, Florida

Kona coffee! Great story behind the quality of the beans. We had a latte each day we stayed in Naples and the staff was always friendly and made our orders accurately. They could expand the coffee shop to include bakery, or partner with local bakeries to sell their goods. Its such a good brand, I'd like to see some cleaver t-shirts and swag. They did have some t-shirts that just didn't do it. Invest in a marketing firm to help create more swag and you will increase your followers. Best wishes read more

While the name is attention-grabbing, so is the coffee! Their name derives from the donkeys that carried heavy loads of coffee up and down the mountainside of Hawaii. They serve Hawaiian roasts with Kona beans flown in from the Hawaiian islands.  Kona being the most sought-after coffee beans in the world, this place prides itself in serving such a rarity. It was voted best coffee shop in Naples last year (2016). In addition to this delectable coffee, the atmosphere of this coffee shop is quite fun.  It is certainly worth a visit and maybe you'll even be compelled to take home a bag of those delicious beans. read more

Most amazing kind staff as well as great tasting decaf coffee and lattes. Perfect outdoor seating area.

Got a chocolate chip muffin that was very tasty and the grasshopper coffee and that was delicious.

Not a coffee drinker like my wife but occasionally I need a caffine fix. This was one of the few places that kept me up and I had the blended drink. My wife had an iced coffee and she liked they had coffee cubes in the drink so it doesnt get watered down. She said its def stronger than starbucks but not as sweet which she likes. I only gave it 4 cause they closed at 7 on friday yet ont he site it says open till 9 PM. read more

The drip and iced coffee is good. Not the best I've ever had but certainly enjoyable.

Love this little place on 3rd st! I got the coffee chiller and loved it. They have outdoor seating which is a plus if you bring your dog with you a lot! read more

I love this coffee shop. We got a Latte and a Caramel Vanilla Latte and they were both yummy! It was a bit before closing and I was eyeing the mini donuts they had. The guy helping me threw in a few to my order! They were from Peace, Love and Little Donuts and they were delicious! read more

All the beans are sub quality, including their specialty "Kona" beans which are so over roasted and old that it just tastes like something between Starbucks and gas station coffee. Lattes have so much syrup in them that I'm liable to go into diabetic shock. Good staff and atmosphere however. read more

Come on guys. Went for coffee and closed til November 6th according to sign on door. We were there this weekend and didn't see any warning. I drove 30 minutes for coffee and to enjoy chatting with the staff. I look forward to reopening. Temporary Closing was a little abrupt. Heck maybe there was a sign and we missed it. No coffee for 30 days. I need my 100% iced Kona. LOL read more

Great iced coffee, wish they had a few snacks to buy with it and some milk vs cream in the fixings area but overall fantastic. Would definitely go back!! read more

Best coffee I've had since my honeymoon in Hawaii. Amazing. 100% Kona coffee is hard to come by in life, but this place has it!

To dog friendly ,allowing dog to be put on counter, handled by baristas, carried behind serving counter and placed back on floor. Then picked back up and returned to front of counter to owner. The dog on counter happened numerous times. Position of management was we're a Dog Friendly coffee shop. read more

Just TRIED to visit 30 min before closing. Arrived to find the store locked and the person at the counter looked up at us and promptly ignored us. Disappointing as I was looking forward to trying it based on the reviews and so were the 4 people with me. Who locks the doors a full half hour before closing? read more
