This place is amazing! Double matcha latte is literally the best matcha I've ever tried. The desserts are delicious as well. Staff was extremely kind and helpful as well. Nicely decorated and clean! read more

It's a blink and you'll miss it bakery, so let me explain exactly where it's located. It's across the street from Fogo de Chao, and near the old Tokyo Chick. It's a small storefront so don't drive too quickly! Now that's out of the way, I went early on a Thursday morning so it was right when they opened and before the rush began. They have a ton of pastries and cookies to choose from. I went with the cinnamon roll because I heard so many good things about it. First, it's deceivingly big. Is deceivingly a word? Well, it is now. Anyway, it's not too sweet so those who don't really have a sweet tooth will enjoy this. And it's fresh!! The staff was super sweet and patient with me as I couldn't decide what I wanted (I mean, check out the photos). I highly recommend and I will be back! read more

Overhyped, especially for a place that draws a big TikTok crowd. I don't mind waiting in line, but the experience should feel worth it. This one didn't. Went on a Saturday afternoon and parking was already hard to find. There was a line, which is expected, but the ordering setup made things more confusing than it needed to be. You line up in the back while the products are displayed behind you, so it is easy to end up ordering the wrong thing. That is what happened to me. The signage did not clearly match what I was looking for and I ended up ordering something different from what I actually wanted. When I tried to check and fix the order, it was not clear who I was supposed to talk to between the cashier and the person packing orders. The process felt uncoordinated and it took longer than it should have to get a clear answer. The service felt unwelcoming and made a simple situation more difficult than it needed to be. I tried the matcha brownie, cookie, and roll. The texture was good, but the flavor leaned more bitter than expected. Matcha can work really well with desserts, so this was disappointing. Overall, it is clearly a popular place, but the experience did not match the hype. With a clearer system and more consistent service, it could be much better. read more

I live on the east coast and had a friend bring me a the goods. The packaging and freshness of everything was on point so the items travel well, but the taste was different. Running a bakery is hard tedious work and I applaud the effort that chooses to do so.. I got a classic cinnamon roll, slice of red velvet cake, s'mores cookie, oatmeal raisin cookie and a toffee cookie. The cinnamon roll was pretty bland and not what I expected from a fresh made yeast raised dough. I think it could use more butter and cinnamon also. The red velvet cake was almost perfect. I make red velvet cakes and this cake is on point. Moist buttermilk based and solid. The frosting needs a cream cheese butter ratio adjustment Or a stabilizer as it is more butter than cream cheese and deconstructs easily. The cookies were all way too sugary and need more flavor depth. The best cookie was the s'mores as there was chocolate present that save that cookie. read more

What a cute little bakery! We tried their carrot loaf and it was so thick but moist, definitely not too sweet which I love. Parking is just street parking in front but honestly we got very lucky and didn't have to search for too long. You can see a display case with their food items when you walk in and place an order at the front our loaf came out so quickly and it was very good. Next time we're down in Southern California we'll stop by to try their other foods! Congrats on the new bakery! read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm, there is metered parking on the streets. Bakery was easy to spot, there was a small line out the door. Since I came later in the day they were sold out of several items like the banana pudding and carrot cake. I tried the cornmeal cookies it was delicious, soft and sweet. The s'mores brownie was rich and delicious really enjoyed that one. If I'm in the area I'd pop in again. read more

The cinnamon roll latte was such a win. I asked for it to not be too sweet and they nailed it. I love cinnamon in coffee, and I got it with almond milk -- so good. The classic cinnamon roll was solid too. I also tried a few of the cookies. The matcha cookie was just okay since it didn't really have much matcha flavor, but the peanut butter cookie was good and the s'mores cookie was definitely my favorite of the three. Their cookies are thin, but pretty big -- about the size of a CD, which is exactly how my daughter described them My favorite item was the tiramisu loaf. The cream topping was delicious and the chocolate cake was super moist. I'd absolutely come back for that and the cinnamon roll latte next time I'm in the area. read more

Badash Bakes - Cookie Varieties - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been eyeing this place since seeing the matcha cinnamon roll and finally woke up early enough to try it this weekend. It's a small storefront with limited seating and tables inside. Parking is street parking and wasn't super difficult on a Saturday morning. The line wasn't terribly long around 11am and moved pretty quickly although the cashier definitely didn't seem like she wanted to be there. I ordered the matcha cinnamon roll that I was so excited to try but was disappointed by the flavor. The texture was very good though but I don't think I would get it again. I also got the cornbread cookie and double chocolate cookie which were pretty soft and thin. Their new pound cake was extremely sweet and dry so I would not recommend it. The star of the show that surprised me was the classic brownie. I would definitely recommend this one since the chocolate wasn't overly sweet and the texture was perfect. read more

I needed a consolation sweet treat after the Metro A line wronged me and BadAshBakes is where I sought solace! The matcha cinnamon roll they are so famous for is a true pillowy swirl of cinnamon sugar that even cinnamon roll haters (me) will enjoy, although it did not taste of matcha at all. The interior is very cute and seems like a great place to catch up with friends! They do serve cinnamon rolls after noon still. read more

Randomly decided to give it another try after leaving my initial attempt a couple months ago because the wait was too long and I was in and out within 15 mins this time around! Parking is a little bit of a hassle since it's either street parking or shared parking with the postal office and the businesses/plaza across the street. Upon walking into the door, I was greeted by everyone and service was very friendly. Despite having multiple customers ahead of me, it went by quick. I love the aesthetic of the interior and minimalistic of the decor. Everything is laid out on the display and looked amazing! I got the banana bread, oatmeal raisin cookie and double matcha with oatmilk. The banana bread was very moist and the oatmeal raisin was very soft and chewy. The double matcha was very refreshing but creamy! read more

This was like a 3.5 but I'll give it 4. We ordered a bunch of cookies, 3 cinnamon rolls, a brownie, and a couple of drinks back around the time Badash first opened. At the time, it took about an hour to get it but I haven't really seen lines driving past so hopefully there's no wait now. My favorites were the two cinnamon rolls and the only thing I would return for. They're soft and chewy, perfect for me, and I particularly loved the matcha one. While the cookies weren't bad, they honestly didn't taste like a lot. Every cookie aside from the s'more and chocolate chip tasted roughly like a sugar cookie with some light flavoring. The matcha had no matcha flavor at all, or rather, I think it's hard for the matcha to be more pronounced than the butter and sugar. The coffee was a definite miss, kind of watery with a lot of milk. I honestly don't remember anything about the brownie. Service was friendly and pretty quick. read more

I'm so glad I don't live too close to this bakery, because it would be a problem. The cookies here are so incredibly delicious. Not overly sweet. They are buttery and soft and easy to scarf down so watch out. They kind of remind me of Mrs. Fields cookies, but thinner. Aesthetically, this bakery/café is 10 out of 10. You will get your picture. The service is decent. There are a couple of spots to sit at inside as well as a table or two out front. But most people just grab and go. Cornbread Cookie 100/10- my favorite. Everything I imagined a cornbread cookie would be. I could eat a dozen of them. Snickerdoodle 100/10 Divinity Peanut Butter Cookie 100/10 insane! Love the crunchy sugar crumble on top White chip Macadamia 100/10 Strawberry Matcha 9/10 read more

Had the opportunity to try Badash Bakes while visiting LA and let me say it did not disappoint! I got the chocolate cinnamon roll and my son the traditional. I also got the Tiramisu hot chocolate and the s'mores cookie and all were rich, decadent, incredibly yummy and satisfying! She is using the highest quality ingredients and you can taste it! Also cool is that you can see Bad Ash baking and the atmosphere and ambience scream this is not your average bakery!! Service was outstanding despite the short wait in line.

Needed to see what the hype was about on social media. And let me tell you about the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. Perfectly sweet, loaded with cinnamon, and topped with a thick cream cheese-style frosting that balances everything out so well. Every bite was soft. Only thing is I wish it could have been served warm. That said, the price is definitely on the steep side but for a treat this good, it still feels worth trying at least once! I paid almost $17 for cinnamon roll and a regular iced latte. So yes it's steep but I must come back. Come early and you'll the beat the line! read more

10/10 bakery! The cornbread cookie was amazing, I was addicted after the first bite. The strawberry matcha had the perfect amount of matcha and sweetness. The matcha was not overpowered but the sugar or strawberries. The banana pudding soooo good. I wish it was sound by the pound. Cinnamon roll best one I've ever had. All the staff were amazing and prompt. It is really small inside but the decor is perfect. It's a little on the expensive side but for all the goodness Ashley has to offer.

What an awesome place! The team here is super nice and friendly. Just the amount of love that went into my order was the reason I will be coming back. Went in to pick up some cookies for a potluck and boy did they not disappoint. They were a hit at the party. Everyone talked about how fun the flavors were and how chewy the cookies turned out. Honestly could've ate the whole dozen I brought if I could. We ordered brownies cookies and cinnamon rolls. Everything was great and so yummy! The perfect amount of sugar goodness any cookie lover would appreciate. It's in pasadena so you'll need to do street parking which is super easy to find. I walked in not know exactly what to get which was so dangerous because that's how I bought almost the whole store. Just try everything. You can't go wrong! If you get lucky you could snag a fresh batch out the oven and let me tell you. Warm cookies are wayyyyy better! If you want a solid treat, a chewy cookie that lingers and a total crowd pleaser you've got to stop in at Badash Bakes. Let the team guide you. You're in good hands. read more

Ohhhh wowww! I had been wanting to try this place for sooooo long and finally tried it, I LOVED it. I tried the chocolate chip cookie & brown sugar cookie they were some of the best I have ever had. I genuinely love thin cookies and these are perfect! I also ordered two cinnamon rolls and loved them. As someone who usually doesn't care for cinnamon rolls , this says a lot! Super sweet and gooey like it should be!! Everyone inside was super kind and let us know how to order since it was our first time. Super cute inside and they play great music! I love watching Ashley's TikTok's about this place and I think it is sooo worth it and a great bakery! read more

Finally got to try the famous matcha cinnamon roll I've heard so much about! I came in on a Friday morning and there wasn't much of a wait aside for people ordering drinks. There was a big cookie selection and while I was tempted to try one, I don't usually go for flatter style cookies so maybe next time. They sold day old cookies at a discounted price which I appreciated. The cinnamon matcha roll was fun. I can see how it's polarizing since it's a little less on the sweeter side and a combination of earthy matcha and cinnamon. The execution was interesting and overall me and my mom liked it (she liked it more than me). Taste aside, the texture was great. Most people only want the center of a cinnamon roll for its squishy, textural goodness, but every part of the roll felt that way. I'll come back to try a cookie, but not somewhere I'll go out of my way for so 4 stars! read more

I've been following the journey of this baker since she first went viral on TikTok for her skills and have wanted to support her bakery ALL YEAR! I decided to go today (11th hour, I know) and I was NOT disappointed. The warm welcome from the staff and beautiful ambiance of the space made the experience lovely before I had tasted an item. I asked one of the ladies behind the counter what her favorite thing on the menu was and she recommended the banana bread. Ultimately, I ordered that, the famous cinnamon roll, and a personal favorite: a Snickerdoodle cookie. One standout moment is that I also ordered a chai latte and the person who made it asked me to taste it and let her know if it was sweet enough for my liking. Just pristine service. The cinnamon roll is the signature item for a reason. I've never had one so light and airy, perfect amount of icing and not at all cloyingly sweet. The banana bread was also really great. My only gripe is with the cookie, which was almost flavorless. Can't win them all. I can't wait to come back and support this business in the new year.

Highly recommend!!! Small bakery with drinks, cookies, brownies, and pudding. There was a line, but it went quickly. Well-managed because the like begins at the display of all the sweet treats. Then you order at the register. Genius! I got the chocolate chip, cornbread and s'more cookies and s'more brownies. All delicious but my favorite was the s'more cookie. Limited seating so it's more of a takeaway place. Support small businesses! read more

The menu features some classic favorites along with unique house-made creations. EVERYONE at my meeting raved at how good the cookies were!! I will definitely be back to try other cookies, their Pound cakes, and banana pudding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it's probably going to be worth the drive if you're not in Pasadena! *I didn't try the drinks, but they do offer a good selection of coffee based beverages.* read more

Love the toffee chocolate chip cookie and the cinnamon roll! If you're a fan of thin soft cookies, this one is perfect! Not so much for those who love a little crisp on their cookie! I usually do prefer a little crisp on the outside but I love the strong brown butter taste to this that I dont mind it being a soft cookies The cinnamon roll is also so scrumptious and not too overly sweet. Unfortunately for me my dog snuck a bite or half the cinnamon roll so I couldn't fully enjoy it but for the couple bites I had, it was delicious! I wanted to try the matcha but $9.30 for a matcha latte and $11 for the strawberry matcha is a bit steep for me so I opted not to try lol someone please tell me if it's worth the price! read more

I've been following Badash Bakes on IG for the longest time-- just never got the chance to try it because my work schedule never aligned with their hours. Finally got a chance to try them out this weekend! Lots of foot traffic but quick service, even on a Saturday. My friend and I ordered the s'mores brownie and season apple cinnamon roll. She got the cinnamon roll latte, and I got the iced chocolate (ordered it thinking it would be the version online with the strawberry foam, but it was very much just a literal chocolate milk unfortunately). I was really hoping to enjoy everything as I came with a lot of anticipation, but everything was just good but not stellar. The cinnamon roll was honestly average (maybe would be better if they served it hot..?), and the s'mores brownie was quite dense and dry. It must have gone viral for a reason though, so I might check in again to try their other items like their banana pudding and cookies. Really hope I can change my mind! read more

Been trying to come and have these cookies for a few months now and unfortunately it never worked woth my schedule but we finally were able to try them. Nice boutique bakery and several friendly staff available to help. Lucky for us we didn't have a line like we've seen in the past. We tried the cookies and they are good, nostalgic like the cookies back in elementary school or middle school. I really thought they were thicker but they are very thin cookies. They are good but I really prefer when they have some more rise and crisp on the edges. read more

Stop by this morning around 10am to pick up some cinnamon rolls to take to my friend's house today. The line was not too bad but when I got the register the girl managing it was NOT friendly at all. No hello, no smile, no thank you at all. I'm not the kind that needs conversation but the simple salutation and how much I owed would have been respectful the very least. I've gotten a warmer feeling from a kiosk ordering system. What a shame since the pastries are so yum. read more

The hype is real. I'm obsessed with the strawberry banana matcha latte here. The matcha here is made correctly. it's rich and decadent. I hate to love such an expensive spot...but it's that's good. They make their own banana milk from fresh bananas and you can definitely taste the difference. Occasionally, I'll grab the matcha cinnamon roll if it's not sold out for another sweet treat. Matcha flavor isn't super pronounced in the cinnamon roll but damn is it good. Pros: high quality tasty baked goods, coffee and matcha Cons: the line is long and prices are on higher side...$9 a cup but the quality is there. read more

I heard about this place while in line at Salted Butter from a couple and they said the cinnys were touted to be the best. So, I made my way over to check out the hype. Let me start off with parking. You can snag a spot on the street, you just may need to drive around a couple of times. I parked off Garfield and Union, cars were constantly coming and going. Parking is run through the Passport app. Be prepared to wait in line for your goodies. I waited 50 mins. Once you enter the very small establishment, scan what looks good because where you place your order is past the display area. There is very limited seating both inside and out so just plan to take your haul to go. I got an original cinny, a red velvet cinny (available only on 2/14), and an original brownie. I also purchased a coffee cake but that was for my neighbor so I can't review it. Let's start off with the cinnys, which were still slightly warm when I got home. They were soft and pillowy, the red velvet one was more cake-like. I preferred the original over the red velvet one, which was basically flavorless in my opinion. The cinnys were nothing special in my opinion and while the one sold by Salted Butter is a croissant version of a cinny, it's still superior to Badash's version. The brownie is decadent and was better than the cinnys. The star of the show, however, was the sweet potato latte. What an innovative latte. I've never seen something like this at any coffeehouse and it did not disappoint. It literally tasted like having a sweet potato pie! It was not overly sweet and it paired well with oatmilk. Sadly, this is a limited time item. I'm all about trying new places and now I can cross this place off my list. I will not be returning for pastries unless a new item catches my eye until next year if they bring back the sweet potato latte. I would have rated this place a 3 but the latte elevated my rating. Try it out for yourself and if you don't think the cinnys were the best ever, my review already tells you where to head over to next. read more

I have been following Ash on TikTok before she opened the bakery so I was all too excited to check it out. They offer an array of cookies as well as coffee and cinnamon rolls.

I wish they were able to warm up the cinnamon roll as I think that would've taken the experience to the next level, but overall I recommend and I definitely will go back if I was ever in the area again.! read more

Literally BEST cookies ever! I got chocolate chip. I knew this would be my absolutely favorite after the first bite! It's thin, slight chewy, the perfect texture, and most importantly not overwhelmingly sweet like that famous cookie chain... it's perfect in every way and I don't get sick after the few bites which is dangerous... Also tried the matcha cake because I love mochi! It was really good too. For someone who doesn't love matcha dessert, I have to say this is pretty good. Would love to try other cakes next time. Already thinking about going back for more cookies... read more
