EaterWire: Bad Ass Coffee Gets New Name, News on Taste of Downtown Burbank, Pinot Bistro Hosts Emmy Menu

WESTLAKE VILLAGE— Grub Street notes the comedic rename from Bad Ass Coffee to Royal Aloha Coffee. Apparently "the community" was not happy with the original name, so owner Narinder Kumar made the switch. But the best part is that Bad Ass Coffee is an international chain and this is the only location that has undergone a name changeroo. [GS via VCS]

Participating restaurants include Barney’s Beanery, Gourmet 88, Granville Cafe, Market City Caffe, Picahna, Pomodoro Porto’s Bakery & Cafe (plus a few others) and will only set you back $25 if you act now.
