For nearly 10 years and counting, Bad Ass Coffee of Maui has prided themselves on delivering some of the best coffee on Maui — with a cheerful, easygoing attitude that locals have come to expect!
The story of Bad Ass Coffee of Maui is directly linked to the art of Kona coffee production. Native Hawaiians recall braying sounds echoing through the hills as donkeys carried heavy loads of coffee to and from their farmlands. Traditional wild donkeys known as ‘Kona Nightingales’ would raise their voices all through the night as they traveled from place to place, becoming an iconic sound of the Kona countryside. In honor of the worker donkey’s valiant efforts to deliver fresh, delicious coffee beans to people around the world, the name ‘Bad Ass Coffee of Maui’ was born.
The store is open every day of the week from 6 AM to 5 PM, and just miles away from beach parks of all kinds. Grab a drink and go sunrise watching along the low-lying shoreline, stopping by the nearby Kaanapali Beach or the Launiupoko Beach Park. For an afternoon visit, consider dropping in before closing to watch the sunset over the western waves.
