What People Are Saying
from Google"Went here Saturday, late morning. Variety of choices for drinks and snacks. Lots of stuff for sale, nicely decorated interior. Quick, friendly service. I asked the barista what they liked better, regular mocha or monkey mocha. They said both were good. So I decided to get a small money mocha and it tasted delicious. Different from other mocha’s, in a good way. Will be back here for sure. Prices are comparable to other coffee places."
"This is one of the two Bad Ass Coffee locations in Santa Rosa and I’m really hoping the other location is better. This Mark West spot has always been a place bikers stop into, and I actually grew up coming here around 2010 when it was consistently really good so this visit was a bit disappointing. I stopped in around 5:30PM, about half an hour before closing, on a Tuesday and ordered hot water and a decaf coffee. I understand that late-day timing can affect availability, but if decaf isn’t available in the traditional way, it’s better to just say so rather than trying to make it another way. The coffee ended up extremely watery and unpleasant. To the point where I couldn’t enjoy it at all. That said, the customer service is the main reason this place still gets points. The cashier, a young male teenager was kind and made an effort to accommodate me which didn’t go unnoticed. There was also a young girl working who was clearly hardworking and respectful. Their attitude and professionalism stood out more than the coffee itself. I really wanted this visit to feel nostalgic or comforting especially during the cold winter season, but it just didn’t land this time. To the people of Sonoma County and visitors aborad I can tell you between the watered-down coffee and the inconsistency compared to years ago, I don’t see myself coming back for a while. I’m hoping this was just an off day or that the other Santa Rosa location delivers more of what this place used to be."
"Easy to find! Clearly, locals love this place. A lot of parking. Tons of seats inside. No seats outside. Pretty big space and they sell Hawaiian coffee beans and ground coffee. They also sell mugs and cups, baked goods, package food to go. The atmosphere was easy going and chill. Greeted nicely when I came in. Ordered the Three waves and the Caramel. Made so quickly and it’s yummmmmy and smooth. Definitely would say to come in for some smooth Kona and Hawaii coffee. I would come back!"
"I was craving a chai latte and I was gonna go to Starbucks. I had been hearing about Badass from my coworker, so I thought why not. This is my first time going here to get a drink by and for myself. I asked some questions like if they had alternative milks and the guy behind the counter listed the alternative milks. He was completely deadpan and seemed annoyed. So I got a chai with oatmilk. I asked about their pumpkin spice type drink and I asked if the pumpkin mix is vegan. They said it as a syrup but then said it's probably just a puree. So now I'm confused. I should have asked for the ingredients of the chai mix and that is on me. It should be chai tea with milk but I doubt this was. My drink was a big ol' cup of warm milk. Was the chai in the room with us?? I don't know. I couldn't taste it. The whole place smelled of bleach so strongly that I almost just left, because I could taste it in my mouth. I said thank you have a nice day and... nothing. This place is not friendly, not flavorful, smells like the inside of a bleach bottle and even when there is no one else there but you they will not make an effort. I'm just going to Starbucks next time."
"I want to preface my review on the basis that I roast my own coffee and am very particular on strength and flavor. I prefer a stronger cup of coffee. With that said, my experience was mixed. The staff was efficient and kind the location is easy to get too and they deliver the drinks quickly. On the down side for me is that the Flat white I ordered was too foamy and very weak, I could not taste the roast at all."
