Bad Ass Coffee
1708 Scenic Gulf Dr Ste. A, Destin, FL
Crema's Take
“This early-rising Hawaii-rooted spot in Destin has folks raving about its signature Caramel Wave (a buttery caramel-vanilla latte that seems to be their claim to fame), served up with genuinely friendly service even when the morning rush hits hard. While it's primarily geared toward grab-and-go, those who linger praise the welcoming vibes and pretty interior, making it an ideal spot to fuel up before exploring the beach town or catching up with a friend over quality espresso drinks.”

On Saturday morning, I was craving coffee, so I searched the area and found Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii. It opens early, at 6:00 AM, and was 5-minutes from where we were staying. Fortunately, I managed to find parking right in front of the cafe. I went to the counter and ordered a small, hot caramel wave coffee. After discussing the sweetness options with the server, I opted for half sweet. My coffee order arrived in around 7-10 minutes. The coffee was fresh, hot, and perfectly made just how I liked it, less sweet. Great cafe with a wide selection of excellent coffees.
Woooow!!! Talk about blowing my mind with this coffee… i ordered the caramel wave hot and it was amazing…the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly.. love this place
Absolutely great services even they were extremely busy. I had the caramel wave which is caramel and vanilla latte which was delicious. We also bought coffee to go to enjoy at home.
This coffee shop delivers on style and coffee quality, but it’s built entirely for takeaway. The interior is taken over by merchandise, leaving no real space to sit and enjoy a drink. There’s a small patio outside, but the lack of a cozy indoor area was a letdown. I wanted to order an affogato but was told they don’t carry ice cream at all. They do have premade coffee shakes with ice cream—mine was decent, though way too sweet for my taste. The place has a proper coffeehouse vibe, but without a real place to stay and enjoy it, it feels more like a branded coffee kiosk than a full café. Fine for a quick grab-and-go, but not a spot to linger.
Im a local and am just now hearing about this place! It was pretty on the inside and great vibes all around. It was about 10 AM when I went in so they were super busy and I waited a little bit but it was worth it!! The coffee was super good and its worth supporting a local buisness. The buisness is based around Hawaii and I thought that it was super cool and different. Definitely give this place a try! And even if its busy Definitely worth the wait and the employees all effienticly worked together to get the orders out and were all super friendly.
