    I wasn't expecting this, but wow. This new coffee gem came out swinging with the bold, strong brew I've been chasing. I used to make the long trek to my favorite coffee place... but now? I think I found a new go-to. Bonus points for easy parking right out front, and it's literally across from Wegmans, so coffee + grocery run = handled. As someone from Hawai'i, I was happy to see a place like this here. There's a little island soul in the vibe, and the badass backstory behind the shop is inspiring. Real grit, real flavor. Go and show them some aloha!!!!

    Grabbed a drink before the movies. Had a pina colada smoothie. The flavor was pretty good, but not much pineapple flavor. I will definitely try more as I love smoothies.

    First time here and had a lovely experience. I ordered one of the employee made lattes - I think it was called Blondie Latte and wow was it amazing. It tasted like maple pancakes! The staff were nice and easy going. The vibe is family owned and Hawaii beach vibe. The menu was extensive so I can't wait to come back!

    Decided too try bad ass coffee for the first time. everything was really good, the coffee was fresh and had really good flavor. They even use coffee icecubes which was really unique.. The breakfast sandwich I got was really good as well. The customer service was absolutely outstanding in this little wonderful a cafe. I'm sure you will definitely enjoy the flavor of the coffee in this place.If you are a coffee drinker.

    We stopped by this morning to check it out & it didn't disappoint. The latte was sooo darn good and the fact that it has coffee ices cubes makes it so much better. I was able to enjoy a delicious coffee that doesn't get watered down and it wasn't overly sweet. It was perfection! One thing i probably won't purchase again is the breakfast sandwich, I wasn't a huge fan of the Hawaiian bread with the egg cheese and bacon but other than that i definitely will be back for more lattes. The place was calm and very cute from inside. The person at the register was nice as well.

    Very chill aesthetic. Clean and chill location. A place I could definitely sit and spend hours at. The staff is very nice and the drink options are very customizable and delicious. Also an awesome bonus is the coffee ice. Definitely a new favorite coffee spot for me.

    I love this coffee shop! The coffee is delicious, and I love that they have coffee ice cubes for iced drinks! I also got a lemon blueberry muffin today, and it was so good. Definitely recommend stopping here for your coffee fix!

    Matcha and hazelnut

    Besides the cool name, the drinks and snacks were basic. The matcha latte was just okay. It was much on the sweeter side and it felt grainy in my mouth. The hazelnut hula drink was sweet and good, but it doesn't stick out as a coffee shop. They need to get rid of the grilled cheese to stop people from wasting their money. It looked sad, like it was thrown into the microwave. There was barely any cheese, small and unappetizing. The service was great though! I forgot her name, but she helped me decide what drinks I should get. Still not worth coming back for anything.

    Great coffee place in Alexandria! I personally think Kona Coffee is one of the best coffees to have ever graced the world with so this was definitely a no brainer when I went. There wasn't anyone when I walked in earlier but the staff was friendly and even said Aloha when walking in. I wasn't craving much but I wanted to try out their Nitro Cold Brew w/ foam and their Bad Ass One Sandwich. The Nitro Cold Brew is really smooth and it's just the right amount of perfect for me. I don't mind drinking it black because it helps me with my diet and I guess the taste is something I'm used to now. The Bad Ass One Sandwich, with Spam, Egg, Swiss cheese, BBQ glaze over Kings Hawaiian buns, this was such a great item to eat for a quick brunch! It's unique to this area. I don't think I have experienced any other places around here that do Kona Coffee. It's so good! Please try this place out!

    Sugar free vanilla iced latte

    I can't get over how great this place is! Parking can be hit or miss. There is limited street parking right out front, but there is additional parking and a parking garage not far. The prices are a little high but I am definitely okay with that since the quality is so great! The sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on Hawaiian bread is delicious! AND the frozen coffee ice cubes keep your coffee tasting good without worrying about being watered down. I recommend this place to everyone!

    Hazelnut Hula - Hazelnut, Caramel, Dark Chocolate

    Love that they brought a little taste of Hawaii to the DMV area and getting to read the story behind Bad Ass Coffee of the donkeys in Kona, Hawaii. I ordered the Hazelnut Hula, which has hazelnut, caramel, and dark chocolate. I loved that it was still intense in Coffee yet balanced out with the dark chocolate where it wasn't overly sweet and just enough. Service here was friendly and very efficient and quick.

For me, their limoncello french toast, turkey side, and roasted rosemary potatoes were standouts. --- HomeGrown does breakfast right. They have community partners which supply their goods, and boy did you taste the difference. The food was awesome, exactly what you crave when you want a good breakfast. We ordered the (1) limoncello french toast, (2) BYOB (Build your own breakfast), and (3) HomeGrown coffee cake: -Limoncello french toast: Densely cakey and mochi-like consistency made the french toast a standout to me. It wasn't too sweet, and the vanilla bean creme anglaise sauce was perfectly balanced by the tartness of the lemon curd. The eggs and ham I ordered on the side were pretty standard. - BYOB: The rosemary potatoes and turkey side were AWESOME! I am not a crispy potato person, so I was happy with the softer texture of these potatoes (but my friend didn't like them as much as I did). The turkey was juicy and very flavorful, and an unexpected surprise. The eggs and English muffins were pretty standard. -HomeGrown coffee cake: For $6.5, we were happy with the size of the slice. It a tiny bit too sweet for me with the caramel sauce, but the cake was moist on its own. We felt like we needed 3 people to comfortably eat this size portion. The service was fast, friendly, and professional. We were really happy with our server, the cleanliness of the restaurant (and even the bathroom!), and the ambiance. It was very cute and well-decorated, and I can see it being a great spot for many occasions. It wasn't too loud despite it being pretty full. Overall, I'd recommend HomeGrown if you want a breakfast that won't disappoint. The turkey and rosemary potatoes were my favorite, but I really enjoyed all of the food. I will definitely be back!

Unfortunately, whoever the individual was on shift today was just a total piss poor person - she seemed to have an issue with our party, as she automatically assumed we just came there to 'squat' without ordering anything (if you have been to this place before, there isn't much seating and this isn't where you'd want to sit for a bit anyway); when I called her out and stated that I already knew our party's orders, she backtracked. She then continued to make a snide comment on the number of drinks we were ordering - what's with the passive aggressiveness? I didn't know that there was some rule that each person was required to order something. Like, are you okay? I just had a bad feeling about all of this, and we should have just walked out instead of giving our money to support this business - to add to it all, the coffees that we did receive (latte with soy milk, and the mocha) were just poorly made and not strong at all; they were both watered down and bitter at the same time... come on! UGH, the regret, but it was a choice. Shame on you, Via Volcán! You might want to heavily reconsider who you employ and train them better - this individual is really hurting your business!

Since then though, I've been back a couple of times and the service has been on the standout side (I wish I could recall my most recent server's name to give him a shoutout -- next time!). So hoping that part is there to stay! Aside from the recent service, I like the ambiance upstairs -- exposed brick is always a win, and they've done a great job fitting in as much seating as possible in a fairly tight space. The menu is great too, with lots of appealing options -- many of which (like plantain chips and pupusas) are otherwise hard to find in Old Town. (I tried the plantain chips last time btw and enjoyed them.) It's really nice to have a Latin-inspired coffee shop nearby, and even cooler that they serve not just coffee but also food and wine. That said, here are a couple watchouts: - While the space is definitely cute and cozy, the downside is that it is smaaaall. Especially upstairs, tables fill up fast. It's always a toss-up whether there will be one available if I want to go. - They have a laptop policy that restricts laptop use to 2 hours tops (though I'm not sure if/how they actually enforce it). On the one hand, I absolutely love how intentional the policy is; particularly in such a small space, a row full of laptops could definitely kill the vibe so wanting to preserve that balance between productivity and leisure seems totally fair and actually good. On the other hand, I have to admit it does deter me from going there vs. another coffee shop at times when I'm not sure I can wrap up what I have to do in under 2 hours. This is especially true if I know I'm planning to eat. - The Mayan hot chocolate is basically hot chocolate/cocoa that is made from Guatemalan chocolate, rather than the kind of Mayan hot chocolate that has a kick to it. This may not be a biggie but I was definitely thrown off and disappointed when I first ordered it expecting the latter, so you've been forewarned! Overall it's a cute spot and I'm glad it's in the neighborhood. Though it's not someplace I'd call my go-to, I'll no doubt be back and will keep giving it more chances now that that first bad service experience has been overwritten a bit in my head.

When I took the first bite, at first I noticed how refreshing it tasted, and how delicious the chili sauce was. As I was eating it the veggies tasted fresh, especially the peppers and the strawberry combined with the chili sauce was so good in the most surprising way. Who knew rice paper rolls could be THIS healthy? Despite being tired that day I ended up with renowned energy after eating those rolls. Like it felt super nourishing. These were definitely the most tasty veggie rolls I've had in a while. The sauce is just divine. I love that they really package their stuff so carefully and the box has such a cute aesthetic. Everything truly feels like it's made with love, and their cups have little fake stickers on them to really give your drink a personal touch, something I don't see at other smoothie or juice bars. Everything just has this niche personal feeling to it. If you want a healthy lunch or drink, this is your spot. It definitely feels like you are getting real good nourishment here and I am all for it. I will be back soon for my ACAI fix!

The smoothie was creamy, fruity, and visually one of the most striking drinks I've had in a while. The mango and banana gave it a naturally sweet flavor, while the coconut yogurt added a rich texture. I could still pick up some of the blue spirulina underneath everything, which kept it from tasting one-dimensional. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. It felt like a place where you could slow down for a few minutes instead of grabbing something and rushing back out the door. One thing I like about this smoothie is that it's easy to customize. After having it before, I've found that ordering it with light banana and no agave makes it taste lighter and lets the mango come through more. That said, the standard version was still enjoyable and is probably the best starting point if you've never tried it before. I'd definitely come back and try other drinks on the menu.
