The flavor of Big Island Apple Cinnamon brings back memories of eating an apple on a tour at the Na 'Aina Kai ("Lands by the Sea") Botanical Gardens on the island of Kauai. The most beautiful garden I've ever seen. Thank you for coming to 1301 South Central Expressway, McKinney, TX 75070. A little bit of Hawaii in Dallas is amazing! read more

I commute to work everyday down 75. My curiosity randomly caught me pulling into BA coffee of Hawaii. My first experience here was phenomenal. I talk about this place all of the time to my coworkers and students just as the service is spunky and fun. I am a coffee snob and usually only go to my other favorite is just up the street. BUT the drive through experience is one of a kind. Fast, prompt and cheerful workers. Even when the line is crazy long..... 5 minutes max, in and out back on the highway. The food is also yummy. Grab yourself a Big Kahuna read more

Love the drive thru option! I tried the iced caramel wave and my sister had the classic koffee kooler. Both were good. They offer food as well but the drink menu has tons of options. Stickers are cute and are $2 each. Service was fast. Look forward to trying something new next time! read more

First Visit -- Mixed Feelings First time trying Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii, and I walked away with mixed feelings. We ordered 2 sandwiches, 2 coffees, and 6 malasadas. Let's start with the ordering process. The young lady at the register was polite but seemed a bit confused. We told her it was our first time, and when we said we wanted six malasadas, she replied "so three?" twice. My wife corrected her, saying "no, six," and again got "yes, three." That back-and-forth could've been avoided with a simple explanation like, "No problem, just so you know, they're sold in pairs I'll ring you up for six." Instead, it turned into a small but frustrating moment. We got called up three separate times. once for sandwiches, then for coffee, then for malasadas. Not sure why it couldn't have all come out together. Time is valuable, and standing up three times for one order feels unnecessary. As a customer anywhere dont like my time being wasted. Customer service: Everyone was polite and patient, especially since it was our first visit. No attitude, just could use a little more attention to detail for new customers. I did go back up to see if they can add cream to take away the bitterness. Waited a few minutes even after eye contact as if they really didn't want to fix an issue. More time wasted. Food- Looked better in the pictures. It seems like most of it is premade and reheated, likely microwaved or oven-warmed. The Bad Ass One Sandwich (Spam, egg, pineapple, BBQ sauce) -- The spam looked undercooked, and I didn't taste any BBQ sauce. Honestly, not so "bad ass." Would've been much better if cooked fresh on a griddle. Bacon, Egg, and Cheddar Sandwich -- This one was solid. Simple, good, nothing overhyped. Malasadas -- We got 6 (3 pairs... lesson learned). They were dry and crumbly, not the soft, pillowy kind we know. My wife's from Guam, so malasadas are kind of a big deal for her, and these didn't hit the mark. They're more like mochi donuts as far as the round shape. Dry donut texture . If you've never had malasadas before, maybe try one pair first before committing to three.. look up Islam sushi in Vegas. Look at their Yelp page and see what a true malasada are. Especially the custard filled ones. Coffee My mocha iced coffee -- super bitter, strong, and had a ton of syrup sitting at the bottom. Not for me. My wife's hot mocha coffee -- perfect balance, smooth and flavorful. Funny how the same drink turned out completely different. There was also a $1.10 upcharge for each almond or coconut milk coffee. Would've appreciated a heads-up since we said it was our first time I would've just gone with regular milk. Total: $41.87 -- not cheap for what we got. Overall, I'd give Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii a 3 out of 5. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, but the food and coffee need more consistency and fresh prep to match the prices and the name. I wouldn't drive out of my way for it, but if you're nearby, give it a try and see for yourself maybe your experience will hit better than ours. read more

I've had Kona coffee many times before and I've no idea what I got served or was it just made horribly wrong. I asked if I could get the Kona iced and they said no - for which they couldn't explain why. So I got the hot and asked for some milk in it and it was the most watered down brown water looking drink I got; not worth it Though I'll say the Kona reserve in Frisco l, though not anywhere near the experience in Hawaii, is a much better Kona coffee kinda drink read more

Sa this spot when driving down the freeway. Finally got a chance to try it a few weeks ago. I tried the regular hot latte first with no added flavor to see what kind of coffee I was working with. I have now tried the three wave hot latte and the tasty donuts. Run here not walk...Here are my thoughts: Regular Latte- Robust good quality bean. A coffee that can hold its own. Flavor only enhances the mature bean flavor it does not mask it. Definitely a contender to more well known establishments. Three Wave Hot Latte- the coconut is prevalent and tasty along with the other flavors. Very rich and has a depth of flavor all the way to the last drop. Top notch coffee! Twisted Malasada Donuts- OMG these pillowy soft delights are well above a regular donut. The twist of the dough locks in the softness and tenderness once cooked. The cinnamon and sugar dusted all over brings the experience full circle. I have to stay away from these. I can see it getting out of hand. read more

Great coffee and coffee drinks. Good sandwiches. Service is excellent always with a smile and a thank you. read more

Surprised to find a Hawaiian coffee joint right alongside the highway on 75. Had to come in to give it a try. I got a chai latte with almond milk, it wasn't very spicy and was more sweet. I got the aloha breakfast sandwich, which has pineapple in it. It was pretty small so I would recommend getting two! We also got a hot Americano and able to get an egg and cheddar sandwich without the cheddar. Which was a bonus if you ask me!! All in all, a cute experience, friendly service, bright space with both long tables and couch spaces, and a view of the highway! read more

I'll give them another try- awesome- friendly- service with a smile! Great variety but my coffee was $6 for the smallest cup- I ordered the three waves and asked to cut the sugar just a bit- but it kind of tasted liked hot foam. I wanted to love it- but it was a miss. Not a strong coffee flavor- wahh. I love coffee from Hawaii and wanted to love this place. Really sweet people though. I paid $6 for a cup and added the tip on the signature screen- but left with a not so great tasting coffee. read more

It's a shame there's only one location in the DFW area. Whenever I'm in McKinney, I'll stop here because this joint is the real deal. The cold brew is great and the Three Waves (minus the caramel) is to die for. Love that the ice is actually coffee ice cubes, too... so when they start to melt, your coffee doesn't get all watered down. More places should do this! I've never had a bad experience service-wise and I always leave feeling chill and mellowed out. Already looking forward to my next cup! read more

Stopped by with my husband. He really enjoyed his coffee(banana mocha), especially w/ the coffee ice cubes, which were a nice touch and kept his drink strong without getting watered down. As for me, I went with the matcha and unfortunately, it missed the mark. It had a noticeable powdery taste and didn't have that smooth, earthy flavor you'd expect from a quality matcha. If you're a matcha lover looking for the real thing, this will probably leave you disappointed. Great vibe overall and solid spot for coffee lovers but I'd skip the matcha next time. read more

Service is great, and I love the decor. I haven't been able to try all their coffee drinks and pastries, but I do plan to be back! The coconut-y flavor in their drinks reminds me of Hawaii for sure. read more

First time trying out this place. My husband and I were in the area and needed a quick breakfast. We ordered the pumpkin spice banana bread, "Bad Ass" sandwich (spam, pineapple, cheese) and the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. The breakfast sandwiches and pastry were amazing. Service was friendly. Very spacious outdoor patio, and plenty of indoor seating as well! read more

10 out of 10! I'm superrrr impressed. The staff was kind and welcoming and offered suggestions since it was my first visit. I got an iced coffee with banana and hazelnut. To my surprise, their ice cubes are made out of coffee!! what a smart idea. I got a bad ass breakfast sandwich as well that has spam pineapple, and cheese on a Hawaiian bun. Salty, sweet and satisfying. read more

I come here for the coffee ice cubes! What a great concept as it keeps my iced coffee from getting watered down as the ice melts. But I can't wait to try the Koffee Kooler in the slushee machine. I have been in store and thru the drive-thru and have had excellent service every time. I drive out of my way to come here for my afternoon caffeine fix. read more

Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii - Inside. Cozy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - McKinney, Texas

The Kona coffee was good, but it was way too hot. We couldn't drink it for almost 20 minutes.

First time trying out this place and I thought the coffee was great. Service was super sweet and the place has plenty of tables and chairs to sit and work as well. We got the 3 waves, turtle kick, grilled cheese, and 7 layer bar. The ice cubes are great, I would have not noticed them unless I read the other reviews about the coffee cubes. The bar was a bit too much for me, not something I would get again, but the husband loved it. Just wished it wasn't in such an awkward location, either way, I'll be coming back to try more! read more

Chain coffee shop that claims their coffee is 100% Kona. Well, I've visited the Big Island, and this didn't taste like the Kona coffee that I experienced. Coffee at home has more personality. The inside is sparce and impersonal, lacking the non-chain charm. We ordered the spam breakfast sandwiches and wound up with the ham breakfast sandwiches. They made it right and comped the meal right away, so that's why the three stars. Sorry, not impressed with this new coffee house. read more

Ambience is laid back. Island music vibes with fake island plants and decor. They took over the Culver's that closed awhile back. 11 tables, a couch, and two cushioned chairs. I got their regular drip. It's 10% Kona. Tasted like a medium-dark with over roasted and over extracted beans. Tried their 100% Kona as well. Real smooth, light acid, good balance. Very slight nutty profile forward and throughout, smooth lingering mouthfeel. They have a free rewards program currently. Download their app and scan your membership during your purchase and receive a $5 reward. Took 7 days for the reward to appear on my account. Location is off hwy 75 and next to a movie theater. I don't imagine it'll be over trafficked if you're looking for a semi-quiet, uncrowded spot. Patrons will have to intentionally come to the shop since there's not much else around it to discover it. read more

Jason (the owner) and the other barista (I'm so sorry I forgot to get your name!) was so amazing! We've never been to this franchise before and he was super informative and steered us in the right direction on what we should get. Jason gave us a sample of the plain Koffee Kooler flavor and the Cold Brew Lemonade. Both were super tasty! I got a Big Kahuna sized Koffee Kooler in the Caramel Kick flavor w/added coconut syrup. It tasted like a Samoa Girl Scout cookie! My mom got a Big Kahuna sized Lava Cold Brew (super yummy if you like a stronger coffee flavor!) and a medium regular cold brew for my dad. Also super cool about Bad Ass is they make their ice cubes from coffee so your drinks don't get watered down. Absolutely brilliant! Can't wait to go back & get the Cold Brew Lemonade, mahalo! read more
