We are stubborn. Not just about how we source premium Hawaiʻi-grown coffee and how we treat one another, but in how we give back and care for our four-legged friends that inspired our name. Being a badass for good means giving an extra hoof and doing what you can to help others.

Our Give A Hoof program pays tribute to the generations of donkeys in Kona, Hawaiʻi that for generations carried loads of coffee beans down the steep volcanic mountain sides. The early farmers of Kona named these hard-working donkeys the “Bad Ass Ones” because of their reliably strong, but stubborn nature. Through sponsorships with various non-profits focused on caring for donkeys and providing them safe spaces, Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii is proud to give back and help raise funds for hard-working donkeys in need.
