      We came here 9 minutes until close and were pleasantly surprised. The staff had no issues making us coffees before close and we also ordered a few pastries! The strawberry rhubarb muffin was my favorite and my husband enjoyed the orange poppy cream cake.

      My cortado with oat milk was delicious but it had a tad more oat milk than I would have liked. It teetered on the edge of being a latte rather than a cortado. Staff was super friendly, patient, and helpful when we ordered. I would definitely come back here and next time way before they are about to close :)

      Ok. For the breakfast sandwich's and they were decent but very small for the cost and waited forever.

      My gf said it was the best iced coffee she had had in a while.

      The donut things are the true stars. May come back for those if I'm in the neighborhood

      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!!

      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!

      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.

      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!

      I've been eyeing an opportunity to come check out Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii for a while now and finally made it on a saturday morning after running some errands in the area. This location is situated in a relatively new shopping center. At around 10AM on a saturday, this place was PACKED. For two, we ordered their cold brew and shared a spam and egg sandwich and the strawberry rhubarb muffin (based on yelp's recommendation). The sandwich was delicious, and my only regret is that we didn't order one each. Meanwhile, the strawberry rhubarb had a delicious yogurt filling on the inside that made it that much better to eat. Overall, a solid coffee shop with a unique and welcoming vibe! Also be warned: the coffee here is on the slightly stronger side.

      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.

      Great, strong coffee. What stands out is that their ice cubes are coffee frozen. It amazes me that achain coffee shop can go the extra miles.

      My oat latte was really good to the last drop. Bad Ass come to NY l!!!!!

      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!
