    Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii vs Break Coffee Co

    Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.

    Before you compare

    • Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii figures come from its 2026 FDD and Break Coffee Co figures from its 2025 FDD, so the years differ.
    • Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii: 6, Break Coffee Co: 9). Different groups are not directly comparable.
