Aloha,

Tracy thank you for taking the time to experience first hand what Maui Wowi is all about. It sounds like you truly enjoyed the celebration of great Hawaiian coffee.

As co-owner and Director of Sales and Marketing of this franchise unit, as I stumbled on this website, I was disappointed to find that the sites editor made an error in associating us with Bad Ass Coffee. Funny story however and very ironic, we were actually pretty close to purchasing a Bad Ass franchise…when we found Maui Wowi Hawaiian. The distinctions were night and day. While Bad Ass simply pedals its own plantation coffees and wears, Maui Wowi celebrates the Hawaiian culture, its coffee heritage, support of local island small business, and the Aloha spirit. This differentiation, coupled with Maui Wowi’s strong franchise system, made our decision easy.

Surf’s up in Glendale! We look forward to seeing you soon for a cup of 100% Kona coffee, Kona espresso, a great fresh fruit smoothie, or to just simply get-away for a mini Hawaiian vacation right here in your own backyard.

Mahalo,
Gary Johnson

I went to the new store in Glendale on Friday. Overall I was very impressed with the coffee. There were three teenagers working who were extremely helpful and suggested drinks. I ended up getting some type of macadamia, hazulnut latte and it was delicious. The expresso had a wonderful smooth strong taste (not bitter at all) and the flavorings were not too sweet. I will visit again, however, not regularly as it is out of the way for me.

I heard Kona beans are much more expensive than most others (I’m sure that Hawaiian pickers get paid much more than coffee pickers in third-world countries). A Hawaiian theme really doesn’t strike me as something I’d like to visit on a regular basis. Maybe it’s just bad memories of Hawaii’s high cost of living and jealousy that Hawaiians get to wake up in paradise every day.

It seems the goals are monetary in nature, and nothing else.

A shame if that’s true.

“Wagenknecht said they have two goals for the business: To be successful and . . . ”
I know I shouldn’t post after a big wine tasting, but since I have the truth serum in me, isn’t the first goal a no brainer?

Reminds me of Jay’s Shave Ice and Hawaiian Coffee.

The website isn’t so spiffy, but I guarantee you the products are.
