A new Hawaiian-themed coffee shop is gearing up to open in Virginia Square next month. Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii will take over the former Dunkin’ Donuts location at 3701 N. Fairfax Drive. Franchise owners Richard and Michelle Lee, who also run a shop in Alexandria, are excited about this new venture. The name pays homage to the strong donkeys that historically carried coffee beans in Hawaii.
• The coffee shop will offer a variety of drinks and breakfast items, focusing on tropical flavors.
• It features low-acidity coffee beans sourced from different Hawaiian islands, with Kona beans being a highlight for their smooth taste.
• In addition to coffee, the menu includes smoothies and unique sandwiches made with King’s Hawaiian sweet bread.
• Bad Ass Coffee has been in business since 1989 and currently operates 34 locations.
This opening is significant for the community, as it introduces a unique coffee experience that celebrates Hawaiian culture. It also reflects the growing interest in diverse coffee options and local businesses in the area.
