. . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "I'm not much of a coffee drinker myself, but my wife is. Sometimes when she would go to starbucks, she'd bring one back for me. Anyways, I drove by Bad Ass one day and told her we should give it a shot... you know? break the starbucks monotony.\n\nThe first time we went, I made the mistake of getting a drink made with dark chocolate... Not bad... just not for me. I've never been a dark chocolate fan and it just made the drink really bitter to me... but I wanted to give them another chance. And I'm really happy we did.\n\nSo far, I've had the one with pralines/honey... loved it.\nthe one with coconut/macadamia... loved it.\nthe one with white chocolate/tiramisu... loved it!\n\nA couple notable differences from starbucks that I really enjoy:\n- Bad Ass uses coffee cubes, not ice cubes! So your drink doesnt get watered down as the ice melts. Genius!\n- The price!! A regular 16oz drink runs about $3 at Bad Ass, compared to starbucks' $6... and military gets 25% off all purchases. My wife and I can get 2 iced coffees for 5 dollars and change. Can't beat that.\n\nMy wife and I have recently caught ourselves sayin \"Starbucks who?!\"\n\nI'm definitely a fan."^^ . "0"^^ .
