A tag has been placed on Naples Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Where to go from here

Hi Ebh52. I moved your bibliography back to your sandbox, but your draft was deleted for copyright infringement. In addition, what you had written wasn't appropriate for an encyclopaedia article - there really wasn't much there that you could have reused.

Looking at your bibliography, none of these are reliable sources that are about Badass Coffee. Other than the Kratom source, none of these fit the requirements for reliable sources. They aren't from scholarly works, or from news sources with a reputation for fact checking.

The second issue is that you're supposed to report what reliable sources say about the topic, to write something that's neutral, not promotional. For example, you wrote

The company seeks to share the Aloha Spirit with its customers throughout all its store locations.

The company is selling coffee and other stuff, it's not sharing aloha spirit. That's just promotional hype.

With each drink, customers can "fuel their inner Bad Ass"

Again, what does this mean in neutral, scholarly terms? How is this objectively measurable?

A list of products, food, store locations, and opening hours don't belong in a Wikipedia article about a company. Things like product lines and opening hours change, and are unlikely to be updated quickly enough on Wikipedia. That's the kind of thing people should not be coming to Wikipedia for.
