I've been to BAD Bakers in Natomas a few times, and while my favorite Staxx (Senorita bread) is still good, I honestly prefer the Senorita bread from Starbread. The Staxx here can be soft, buttery, and sweet when you get them fresh and warm, but for me, the texture and overall taste just don't quite match what I remember from Starbread. There are also plenty of fun donuts and Filipino-inspired treats to choose from, so it's still a nice spot when you're craving something sweet. The service has been friendly and welcoming during my visits, and the staff are usually helpful when taking orders or answering questions. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, making it an easy place to stop by for a quick treat or grab something to take home. It can get busy, but the lively bakery setting adds to the experience.
Come here and always receive the sweetest service and tastiest treats! The cheeseburger lumpia's are soooooo good! A staple for any occasion!
Bad Bakers is a pretty solid bakery-I have a long history with this location-it's strategically located right next to my gym-so I have been known every once in a while to "reward" myself with some senorita bread after a solid workout. Their senorita bread is probably my favorite item at this bakery-my daughter introduced them to me one day and I've been hooked ever since-they r very enjoyable especially when eaten warm. They also feature a plethora of visually pleasing donuts-that I generally consider pretty good overall,with some much better than others-my favorite tend to be the cereal based donuts they have at this bakery. Their savory selection of bakery items,I generally skip but not due to them being any less yummy but usually only because when I visit here,I almost always go for the sweet stuff primarily-that being said their Jalapeño & Cheese "kolache" is off the hook-it's so good-the ham and cheese and pepperoni and cheese versions rock as well.We can't forget about their empanadas or lumpia-it's really great stuff they are serving at this bakery. This particular trip was unique in that I had been recommended this app called "TooGoodToGo" by fellow Yelp Elite All-Star Malikah H. & on this app I saw they were offering "surprise bags" for $5.99 to be picked up between 630p-7p-so I figured I'd try it out. When I arrived and showed the worker my order,she promptly walked to the back and then handed me a bag that was filled with unknown goodies.I opened the bag and inside were a random 6 of their best donut offerings-I was pretty thrilled considering these donuts usually run from $3-$4 each-so to get 6 of them for $5.99 felt like a solid deal. What I really liked about this "surprise bags" was it gave me the opportunity to try out flavors in their bakery I never would've tried on my own at a deeply discounted price-I loved the opportunity to do this and look forward to trying it again sometime. In closing-this bakery is pretty great and the surprise bag gives me another reason to love this bakery-not that I needed another reason-I consider myself a Bad Bakers loyalist and nothing has changed that for me-go ahead and try em out-they rock. PS-They do have a rewards program-so be sure to sign up for this when you go to Bad Bakers.
I mean, honestly? It's basically a pastry/donut shop that's average, with a cool sounding name both for the place and the names of the pastries as it's gimmick. While I enjoyed the discount offered to healthcare employees, it was still about three dollars for a donut with a cake like texture. While it is personal preference, I prefer a donut texture for donuts, but to each their own. Overall, it was alright, but nothing to get excited about if a donut craving hits. I'm glad I tried it, but the "marketing" brought me here, but I don't think the taste would have me return
It's been a while since I've had their Spanish bread. Came early in the morning and expected the usual which is warm fresh bread. I was quite disappointed that the bread was not warm and was sweeter than usual I was biting into sugar granules. Disappointed especially for such an increase in price.
Normally this place would have a line out the door in the morning, but now I know why.... I haven't been here in a while and a lot has changed. First the size of the staxx. They pretty much cut the size in half and charged more. Are you serious? Also the taste is a little bit off. Hmmm I am not sure. Hopefully they can get back to what it was before.
Adj: sumptuous savory sweetness BAD bakers is bad to the sweet center of every bite of their pastries. In particular, we love their senorita bread and enjoy them often. They are always so fresh out of the oven, soft, tender, very slightly crisp on the very edges, and filled with wonderful buttery moistness in their sweet filling of which there's just enough, but not too much. While one to two is really all most of us really need, very few people can stop at just one. Everyone I know want more and I often want at least half a dozen. =P Thankfully, they warm back up so nicely in the microwave (5-7 secs each in a full powered microwave, and yes I know that's an abomination to some not to eat fresh only) that I'm able to control myself and just have a couple at a sitting and then come back for more later. They taste great by themselves, but they're even better with a cup of joe black, or for a more decadent experience, senorita bread is so good on a cold day as a breakfast or afternoon break with a nice big cup of latte. The service is always attentive and efficient when taking out, as for ambiance, we only take out so no experience really with anything more, but it's a small but still bright and clean bakery and we find that it's always warm and welcoming with all the wonderful aromas of the best a bakery can bring, but in a BAD way. ;) There are tons of other great baked goods here, of which the donuts are the more famous ones besides the senorita bread. I've not had their donuts yet, but I will report back when I do. =)
I went at the end of the day to get some random variety of donuts from a TooGoodToGo bag. I got 6 donuts and there were all pretty yummy! My favorite is the old fashioned which is a classic and you can't go wrong with. I love how they have unique flavors too and a different styles of donut! Makes it more fun. Very small shop next to a huge shopping complex in Natomas and a neighborhood, I was able to get parking though no problem. Workers were chill and let me pick up my order a lil early.
Picked up some Senorita bread to take over to a friends' gathering. This location is a little smaller than the the other I've been to in Elk Grove down from Hwy 99. The Senorita bread was good and popular with my friends.
The Señorita Bread or STAXX as they're called were not uniform in appearance. The "rolls" looked more like Thanksgiving dinner rolls rather than rolled sweet bread. The service was okay and inside the store could use a makeover. Refund requested so I don't know how these weird ones even tasted..See pictures below in pink box
The director of my program bought their senorita bread as a snack on our orientation day and i just fell in love with the bread. I decided to go myself and grab a 20-piece for my family and they loved it!! I definitely want to go back and try their other breads and donuts :))
These were pretty solid doughnuts. I chose pumpkin, glaze without filling, chocolate, ube brûlée, ube mochi, and peanut caramel. Pumpkin and chocolate were my favorite. The ube brûlée had a bitter aftertaste so it was my least favorite, and I couldn't finish it. I also tried their staxx. I saw everyone in front of me get boxes of those so I figured why not. Oh boy these are dangerous. Warm sweet buttered bread. I was unstoppable. I would recommend this place, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get these again. Solid 8/10.
I am a loyal customer and always give good reviews to this place, but this time I need to give them a bad review. Las Tuesday I went to bad bakers to get señorita bread to work. I was very disappointed what I got, as you can notice on the picture, the señorita bread was totally different, I do not know if the change the recipe or the baker, but those were not señorita bread. They looked, tasted and smelled like canned pastry dough to make croissants. All people as soon they saw them were asking why they were so different, why they tasted different and why the texture was very different. Even the box was white no more bad bakers boxes, my coworkers asked me if got them form Walmart. Nobody liked them. That is why I gave them only one star. I recognize that the service and the ambience are always good. I do not know if that day they messed up the receipt, but they should sell those as señorita bread. Bad reputation for the business.

The jalapeño cream cheese kolaches are my daughter's absolute favorite! They're such a delicious combination of savory, creamy, and just the right amount of kick. My only complaint is that they sometimes run out of stock because they're THAT good! We don't care much for the donuts as they are a bit dry and there are many other great donut spots that serve soft fluffy donuts. The kolaches and staxx are what keep bringing us back. Staxx have been a favorite in our family for years. My kids have loved their sweet breads since they were babies, so there's definitely a lot of nostalgia attached to this place for us. It's one of those spots that has become part of our family's little traditions, and we always look forward to coming back! read more

The quality control at this Bad Bakers Natomas location needs improvement! I picked up a dozen mochi donuts for my friend's birthday for $40 - not cheap. The donuts were sloppily made and didn't even have the cute mochi bead shape as pictured on their website (and every other mochi donut place). They were small and greasy. Next time, I will order from Tomo Tea House - $35/dozen so still pricey but I know the quality will be great. The gal working there when I picked up was also super unfriendly. Why? The customer service, vibe, and unforgivably - the quality of food - was totally disappointing. North Natomas doesn't have a lot of high quality food places so hoping this location gets it together. But I likely won't be coming back to check. read more

Stopped by on my drive from Reno to Bodega Bay for a mid-drive pick me up. Also they have been trending on social media so decided I wanted to try it! The line was shorter as it was a late afternoon snack but there were still options of different donuts. I ended up with the crème brûlée donut after different recommendations from the workers. This donut was delicious and not overly sweet! The soft caramel filling was absolutely delicious and one of the better options when it comes to filled donuts. It reminded me of the soft caramel chewy candies. The crunchy outer sugar coating of the donut tasted EXACTLY like crème brûlée crust and was just amazing! There wasn't any seating area and this is definitely a grab and go but worth stopping by to try a donut option or two! read more

Came here because it was nearby and looked cool. I asked the awesome counter person to randomly choose 1/2 dozen for me and she was awesome and did so. I have to say the donors were meh and the syringes feel gimmicky and also super wasteful/more single-use plastic for the landfill. read more

I love their ensymadas and ube options. I tried getting into the too good to go app and I got the savory and sweet. I just wish they didn't pile it all in 1 paper bag and everything just sticked together. Charging for a box is a good upsell at least a sale was made. Ambiance it's nice and bright. At times can be a lot of people. So many to choose :) read more

Hella good spot if I am keeping it real. Love supporting bakeries that are fun and doing something different. BAD Bakers is a great shop that serves up yummy donuts, breads, and fresh takes on savory Filipino classics. I have been a handful of times and each is awesome. The bakery itself is small and cute. Walking in your are immediately faced with cases of tasty goods. Each time I go it is early busy, but service is quick and staff are super helpful with fulfilling orders every time. I love their donuts and señorita bread a lot. Especially the raised donuts, best compliment I can give it is NOT TOO SWEET! They have a lot of fun and unique toppings that perfectly compliment the chewy, bread donut! The señorita bread is fantastic and buttery. A tip! This bakery is on Too Good To Go, so if you just want to give it a try, check there! You get 6 donuts of your choice at the end of the day for a really good deal. The pic I am attaching to this review is actually from a TGTG visit! Super good! I love this place. It's a great spot and so worth the try. YUM! read more

The wait time is atrocious. There is no reason why this should be an issue in 2025. Having 1 person take orders and then pack the senorita bread doesn't make any sense. You can have 1 person at the register and another packing. You can have 1 person come out, take senorita bread orders while the other takes orders and they wait. You can grab a tablet and have orders taken while in line. The inefficiencies is why we won't come back. read more

Looking for delicious and fresh pastries in Natomas...then head to BAD Bakers! Everything that I ordered from this bakery was absolutely amazing. Love their senorita bread and donuts! It's located in a shopping center so you can easily find free parking. They also have some merchandise in the store that you can purchase, which was super cute! Overall, I highly recommend supporting this local business in Sacramento! read more
Better than I expected. I am plain glazed donut type girl but we do monthly birthday treats for the office and I was running out of ideas until I came across this place. They are located in a small shopping center where Starbucks and Togos Baskin Robbins is. Their website for online ordering doesn't really work so I had to go in but was able to order 3 dozen ahead of time. The gentleman that took my order was very kind and helpful. I scheduled for an 8am pick up two days later. There was a line but it went quickly. I appreciated that he did 2 dozen for me and let me pick the final dozen. I had to do my own sampling before I committed to a big order of course so I got some fun donuts that include syringes to inject your donut with. Absolute novelty but so fun. The person at the counter was very helpful answering all my questions since there are no signs to tell you what things are. The chocolate is really rich and chocolaty! They have cronuts and mochi donuts. But they also have the traditional ones too. THEN they also have what I have known as Senorita bread and a savory section. I tried the Lumpia, empanada, and this absolutely delicious hot dog thing filled with cheese. Will have to do these at our next event! As expected, prices are much higher than the average donut shop. I would recommend buying at least half dozen as you get a discount vs. a single. These were an absolute hit at the office and with me. I will definitely be back!! read more
