    Still delicious and great for gatherings! Our friends came up fr EG and brought us two huge boxes full of the most delicious and fun treats! I come through here to grab snacks for parties or get togethers myself when I'm in EG. Highly recommended a few years ago, and still today.

    Don't get me wrong... how can you not love the staxx!! I order them from the Folsom location often for work and it's always a hit! So I decided to grab some from the Elk Grove location and for some reason it was not the same!!!! The size was half of what it use to be and there was barely ANY of the delicious frosting (or whatever is on it). I'm hoping this was just a one off day otherwise I won't come back to this particular location. It was fresh and hot when I received them and the location was very clean.

    Given them a couple tries but it's just not for me. It's waaaay too sweet and some of the flavors aren't so good. I don't like the gimmick of squeezing your own jelly/jam into the donuts. It's wasteful and inconvenient when you are trying to eat on the go.

    Compared to the staxx i got today. When did they start making them this small?! For the same price! That's crazy

    Been coming to Bad Bakers for so many years now! I always order for my parties, potlucks, etc. love all their donuts and staxx.. BUT i went back today for some staxx and they're literally SO SMALL now!!! That's insane? Same price of them but now they went so much smaller like literally half of what we used to get. That's so crazy and i hope they go back to what they used to offer cos that's just not good business.

    Went here craving for mochi donuts .This place is clean,staff is friendly.They have merch like shirts,sweatshirts for sell as well.There's a variety of flavors of donuts to choose from,senorita bread,pandesal ,other pastries and drinks too.I like their offering of custard and strawberry injections too.Cafe ube is ok wish it's a little bit more ube taste.

    Bad bakers is one of the good bakeries in EG. They have lots of really good pastries and my favorites are the señorira bread and the donuts. Always fresh and so good. The ambiance is lively and modern with a bright, clean setup and that cozy bakery buzz where you can see pastries on display and people coming in and out. It feels trendy but still welcoming. The service is always good too. Friendly and efficient every time I visit. Definitely a must-stop bakery if you're in the area.

    I wanted to try Bad Bakers when they first opened a few years ago but was deterred when I saw the masses of flies landing on the donuts. I always drive by them on EG Blvd, and finally decided to go in, thinking I could give it another shot years later during the cool weather. A lot of their regular donuts didn't really stand out to me. Of the ones I tried, I would only get the "Shorty Cake" (strawberry icing) again. The Ube Cookies didn't have a strong ube flavor but had a good, chewy texture. I was surprised by their large selection of mochi donuts in various flavors and much preferred the taste/texture of these over the regular ones. I also tried some of the Jalapeño Cream Cheese, Ham & Cheese, and Hot Dog & Cheese Roll. I really enjoyed the Jalapeno Cream Cheese, it was pretty spicy as well. I've also tried a few of their other breads and bread-based items and have not been a fan. Service was quick and efficient. Now that I've tried a variety of items, I'd probably stick to mostly mochi donuts and I'd possibly get the Jalapeño Cream Cheese again.

    Bc of January's Explore Elk Grove my wife decided to give this place a try. She actually was happy she did. First thing she observed walking through the door was clothing behind the display case. But she didn't come to shop! Yay! She loves mochi donuts so she gave the ube coconut mochi donut a try. It was good yet it wasn't really the highlight of this trip. What she did thoroughly observed through the display were the savory hotdogs & empanadas. She ordered one of each and enjoyed them especially the empanada was that was huge, tasty & fulfilling. She was sad she only bought one that day...She saw ube pandesal on a cart yet she's watching her carb intake. The service here however was excellent. My wife didn't catch the gal's name. She was so polite & nice. This business is definitely an order to go place. No tables or chairs to seat inside. Parking however was free & plentiful! My wife really loved those empanadas!!! I was lucky enough to get a taste too.

    Bad Bakers, another favorite bakery in Elk Grove. Bad Bakers is located in a convenient shopping center right next to Starbucks. In this trip, we grabbed donuts, hotdog kolaches, and stacks bread. Service was friendly and we had to wait for the fresh bread to come out, no issues there. The pastries were fresh and tasty. My favorites here are the kolaches. The donuts were good also however don't get here way too late because you won't have as much choices - I suggest getting here earlier, we got here at 11 and pictured is what was left of the donut display. We love the mochi donuts here - anything ube is a win, but I'm also biased and ube is my favorite!

    I had a craving for some sweets in the morning and stopped by Bad Bakers. They had a large selection of doughnuts and flavors. Their doughnuts are very creative for sure. I grabbed a couple of unique donuts like the mangonada and ube mochi and jelly filled and some flats. I was disappointed in the mochi donut as it tasted stale. Like day old. The jelly donut was fun to inject with the syringe. The employees were nice and helpful. A decent place to go to to pick up some donuts.

    All of their locations are the same. The quality is very underwhelming and too sweet. Go support your local mom and pop donut shops. I can't name one thing here that I would come back for. Even for basic things.

    I got here around 8 a.m. on a weekday, so the shop was very quiet. I ordered 2 donuts and 4 pastry rolls. They tasted freshly made, and they cost me about $30. The shop looks clean and organized. The parking here is plenty.

    Hidden gem bakery with fun sugar injections into donuts. They also have seniorita bread that is my fav. Good cheap prices. Very addicting!

    I came on here to try some of their speciality donuts. Sadly It didn't live up to the hype. Maybe I caught them on an off day.

Our server, Sophia, was fantastic, and she was so fast and efficient with our orders. We ended up ordering "Joe's Dish," which lets you choose three different flavors. We went with Mint Chocolate, Chocolate, and Strawberry. The ice cream tasted amazing, and it was so good that I happily devoured whatever my kids couldn't finish! I forgot how much I missed their ice cream; it's always so rich and creamy. (Rate: 10/10) On top of the great food and service, the bathroom was clean, and even though there are a lot of tables inside, the layout leaves plenty of space for everyone to move around comfortably.
