What a cool place! It's a bit hidden down the street from the square, but well worth the slight detour. As you enter B.A.D. you'll pop right in front of the doughnut case. There you'll find some, not a lot, of delicious baked goods. It's more about the building of rather than the doughnuts themselves. You choose a base doughnut as your foundation then you go nuts with the toppings. And toppings there are. Creamy, gooey, crunchy, some healthy looking, some healthy sounding, something for everyone. In this case the everyone were two of my grandchildren and did they ever go at it! One chose a powdered doughnut as their foundation and the other a glazed. They spent, it seems, like 5 minutes each choosing and directing the pile that was put on top. Both masterpieces in their own right. While they were chomping on these concoctions, my daughter and I were discussing how we would have attacked. First of all, we wouldn't have chosen a wimpy doughnut for the base. We would have gone all in with a Cinnamon roll. Those suckers are the size of plates! What a ground floor. Top it with apples, apple butter and caramel drizzle and you've got a caramel apple cinnamon work of art! Now we're talking. Try it for yourself. After all it's only like a billion calories. Quick Tip: The doughnuts are shaped as triangles. You can always tell yourself that you're teaching the kids trigonometry. read more

I was just looking for a donut! What I found was an amazing place to take a much needed break, pleasant conversation, music that sparked my imagination and tasty comfort food. I had the apple fritter and Kasekrainer bratwurst and a great cup of coffee. My tastebuds were happy; every bite was a pleasure. Violet, my server, was knowledgeable about the menu and offered creative suggestions for building your own donut which I found intriguing as I watched her attend other customers. All in all a warming experience to bring a stressful week to a close. read more

We arrived Just after they closed and Isabell allowed us to come in anyway!! First time visit and the most important part of any business in my opinion was the hospitality we received!! We will run back for that alone... my grandson wanted a build your own and she graciously accommodated him. She sent us on our way with extra donuts that we all enjoyed thoroughly but the kindness she extended to us. She really made my day.!!! read more

Located near the square in Columbia (and open on a Sunday!), this unique donut parlor offers plenty of seating in large bright room, creating a comfy fun atmosphere. Starting with a yeast donut base shaped like a triangle, you then add frosting, toppings & a drizzle. There are also cinnamon rolls (our favorite), rosy bars & cookies, plus a limited breakfast/brunch menu. If your sweet tooth & taste buds are up to the challenge, they also offer burgers with donuts as the bun. read more

The oatmeal cream filled cookies are like a heavenly gift from above. I was shocked how tasty the cookie plus the light and fluffy cream was. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie recently. It's massive and crisp but still chewy. Just downright excellent. The selection here is amazing and everything I've tried is unique but spot on if that makes sense hah read more

Delicious! I had the hangover breakfast, 3 of the most popular donuts, and the apple fritter. The donuts were a cool triangle shape. The were light and fluffy. Got there right as the opened, all the donuts were still warm. Took the 3 donuts and shared them with my friends and they enjoyed them as well. read more

BAD Bakery - Hangover Breakfast - Donuts Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

We got some donuts here and they were good, not airy and soft like Krispy Kreme, more like cakey. Still tasty! I loved the color scheme, decor, and inviting atmosphere of the shop and would love to come again! My kids loved the little seating area with the tiny chairs, and enjoyed their donuts as well. read more

We went in for breakfast. The sandwich was yummy but pretty pricey. Donuts were pricey too....$25 for a dozen. Service was friendly. We saw a group of four come in check out the prices and leave. Cute ambience. read more

Love how creative this place is. Clearly the chef has fun with the menu. Donuts turned into grilled cheese or French toast? Genius. Everything is not only delicious but feels super original! read more

the food smelled awful. i waited 15 minutes just for a sandwich and no one else was there.

Fresh fruit and a donut sandwich made maple syrup, egg ,cheese and jalapeño ranch. This restaurant is so great. We started with a sourdough orange roll. It was large enough to serve three adults and was served warm and delicious. We then each ordered a breakfast and were so impressed with the quality and freshness of their meals. They even had refreshment towels for us to use after our meals. We will be back and will tell others. read more

Beautiful space, well decorated. The concept is that you pick a donut and selecting what toppings you want, or just enjoy the donut! They also have a few breakfast selections. I ordered an omelette and the keto donut (both gluten free) I wasn't a fan of the keto donut and wish they would make a gluten free donut option. read more

Build a donut more like put a donut on a side front desk lady advertised it eggs and bacon inside the donut but turns out it's a normal breakfast with a normal donut not worth $35 read more

Great spot if you want last week's donuts. Went in and got a dozen. Dry, hard and not worth the $50 I spent (including tip). Girls working were nice. Wish we had a better option in columbia. read more

This place is a very cute little donut shop located in downtown Columbia. The staff are very friendly, it has a clean dining area, and the place is overall a nice little spot to eat at. We waited in line for quite a bit. It was only two girls working. My family and I came in and ordered a lot of treats. The pricing is a bit ridiculous I might say. It was incredibly expensive for the build a donut option and it seemed way over priced for the portions. The Viking cake was tasty, but the icing was too sweet and overpowering. It's a vanilla pound cake with an orange zest cardamom icing. The orange flavor and icing is overpowering for the cake slice. It becomes entirely too sweet. Also, overpriced too. The glazed donuts weren't bad and the breakfast sandwich was good. We ordered several donuts, the Viking cake, some cake donuts strawberry and blueberry, and more. I think this place is a cute little spot to eat at, but the pricing doesn't match the portions. I would maybe give them another chance, but I can't justify the price. read more

I recently had the Smorgas (open-face sandwich) and it was so good! And the Parmesan Sourdough Crackers? I seriously could not stop snacking on them. Perfectly crisp and addictive! read more

We had a delicious chocolate chip cookie and a peanut butter bar. Excellent service. Cute place. read more

Yes, to building your own donut! The toppings make the donut. I had a standard sugared donut, and it was delicious. The donut itself is not overly sweet (which is PERFECT) so that you can tolerate toppings. I did the cinnamon icing, blueberries, strawberries, and a few oreo crumbles. It was a DELICIOUS treat. read more

Food was delicious. Cost is a bit much for Columbia , felt like I was in Franklin & Wait was also a bit ridiculous. They close at 2 I arrived at 1 they were sold out of their donuts and so when I ordered my food they said "let me see if the kitchen is still Open" why wouldn't it be if ya close at 2? Ordered 3 breakfast sandwich's and it took 25 mins to get my food and there was no one else in the place. Food was great though but not sure how I felt about the service. read more

More than donuts. This place has a very nice quiche and many other options which I did not have the ability to consume in one sitting. Just behind Columbias main square, the building is wheelchair accessible (which is not the case everywhere in this cute town). The service was spot on. Ambiance is clean, modern, and fun in a lovely triangle of perfection. read more

Great food. Great service. Great staff. I drive from Franklin every weekend just for the cinnamon rolls. A great place for kids' parties too, to build their own personal donut treats. read more
