HONOLULU, HI. (March 2, 2026) &ndash;<a href="https://badasscoffee.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii,</a> a renowned coffee franchise celebrated for its premium Hawaiian coffees, strong community connections, adventurous spirit, and vibrant caf&eacute; experience is opening the doors to its newest location in Honolulu on March 13. Marking Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii&rsquo;s first Honolulu location, the caf&eacute; at 3502-C Waialae Ave will bring the brand home with handcrafted coffees with a kick, exclusive branded merchandise, and a craveable food menu inspired by local Hawaiian flavors.
Bad Ass Coffee Honolulu is owned by local restaurateur Ted Davenport, a seasoned concept developer with decades of experience in Hawaii&rsquo;s food scene. Davenport has successfully launched and sold Subway and Ruby Tuesday locations in the islands, and now brings his passion for quality and value to the coffee space. This first Honolulu location is operated in partnership with Hawaiian natives Galu and Diane Tagovailoa, parents of NFL quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. 
Drawn to Bad Ass Coffee for its commitment to quality and value, Davenport is dedicated to ensuring every customer gets the most out of their experience. This first Honolulu location spans 1,234 square feet and is expected to create 14&ndash;16 new jobs. Davenport plans to open three locations in total, bringing his passion for innovative, customer-focused dining to the islands.
"I&rsquo;ve spent decades in Hawaii&rsquo;s food scene, and I&rsquo;m always looking for concepts that put the customer first," said Davenport. "Bad Ass Coffee stood out because of its focus on quality and value, everything from their bold, full-flavor drinks to the attention to detail in every cup. I&rsquo;m excited to bring this experience to Honolulu and share it with the community."
Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii was born on the Big Island of Hawaii in 1989 with the dream of sharing American-grown, premium Hawaiian coffee with customers everywhere. Beyond premium Hawaiian coffees sourced from Kauai, Maui, and the famous Kona region of the Big Island, Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii serves up a <a href="https://badasscoffee.com/menu-home-sizes/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">full menu</a> of popular blended drinks, signature lattes, cold brews, teas, innovative foods with a Hawaiian twist, and branded merchandise. Guests can enjoy an island-inspired escape from their everyday with nods to the brand&rsquo;s Hawaiian roots. 
"We&rsquo;re thrilled to welcome Ted Davenport and the Tagovailoa family to the Bad Ass Coffee Ohana," said Iain Douglas, Chief Brand Officer of Bad Ass Coffee. "Ted&rsquo;s decades of experience in Hawaii&rsquo;s food scene and his focus on quality and customer experience make him the perfect partner to bring our bold, full-flavor drinks and Hawaiian-inspired menu to Honolulu. We can&rsquo;t wait for the community to experience what makes Bad Ass Coffee truly one-of-a-kind."
Embracing an adventurous spirit, the brand&rsquo;s name pays tribute to the stubborn and hardworking donkeys of the Big Island, named the &ldquo;Bad Ass Ones&rdquo; by the people of Kona for their courageous work carrying precious loads of coffee beans down the steep mountainside. The legend of those donkeys lives on today at Bad Ass Coffee, and the brand honors them by encouraging guests to &ldquo;fuel their inner badass&rdquo; every day.
