New Port Richey is about to get a serious jolt of Kona caffeine. Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii is planning a new cafe at 5243 Little Road #1, bringing the Hawaiian-born coffee chain into Pasco County for the first time. The shop is slated for a new retail strip along Little Road near Trouble Creek Road and is expected to sit alongside other national quick-serve neighbors being marketed for the site.
Where It Will Land
A listing for the AG New Port Richey development pegs Bad Ass Coffee as a select tenant in a roughly 7,000-square-foot retail strip. The property is billed as sitting across from a Publix, and the listing shows shell-space availability beginning in spring 2026, according to LoopNet.
Part Of A Growing Florida Footprint
Local outlet WhatNow first reported the Little Road plans on March 27, 2026 and noted that the New Port Richey shop would be another Tampa Bay outpost for the chain. It would join Bad Ass locations already open in Lakewood Ranch, Clearwater Beach and Lutz, as reported by WhatNow.
Menu And Island Vibe
Menus at nearby Bad Ass Coffee spots lean into the island theme with signature Bad Ass Lattes like Beach Bliss, Caramel Wave and Monkey Mocha, along with breakfast items such as the Aloha Sandwich, per regional menus listed on DoorDash. The brand traces its roots to the Big Island of Hawaii and notes on its website that it began in Kona in 1989, according to the company site.
When To Watch
There is no company-published opening date yet. Leasing materials show the center's availability window, and developers have not announced a grand-opening schedule, per LoopNet. For official opening and hiring announcements, local outlets direct readers to the brand's social channels, and WhatNow points followers to @badasscoffeeofhawaii on Instagram for updates, as reported by WhatNow.
