I'm typically not one to wait in a long line for food, but given that there are still crowds that form for Badash Bakes and the store has been opened for close to a year and a half, I decided it must be worth it and decided to break my own rule. I stopped by for the very first time with my husband at around 11am on a Saturday and there was a good amount of people, which caused us to have to wait about 15 minutes in the sun before there was any room inside. The shop is really small, but I do think they could provide more support and direction with the line. Because it's so busy, you aren't given any time to look at the baked goods in the case. You have to be ready to spew your order out and then you pay at the register and wait until they call your name out. Its kind of awkward to try to find a spot to wait given how little space there is. It was packed and felt very overwhelming. For the most part, the staff we interacted with were warm and friendly, which is always appreciated. Our cashier was definitely not in a good mood and didn't seem to be having a great day, but we tipped anyways. We ordered a chocolate chip cookie, a cornbread cookie, and a cinnamon roll. I had really high hopes given how loved this shop is and how viral it has been for so long, but unfortunately, I was really disappointed. Cinnamon rolls are my favorite dessert to ever exist. It's a running joke in my family how much I love cinnamon rolls. Up until today, I have never had a cinnamon roll I did not like, but this roll from Badash Bakes was simply not good. While the texture of this cinnamon roll was incredibly soft and fluffy, the flavor profile was a major disappointment. There was absolutely no trace of warm cinnamon or sweet filling. Instead, the roll tasted completely dominated by a sharp, fermented, and sour yeast flavor. I'm not sure if something went wrong with the batch we were given, but the taste was foul, and we threw it out after one bite. It was absolutely bizarre. The texture of the two cookies we got were amazing. Truly my ideal cookie texture with a chewy center and golden crispy edges. Of the two, the chocolate chip cookie was better. I found the cornbread cookie to be very underwhelming. It didn't taste like much to be honest. Very, very bland. I can tell that the chocolate used in the chocolate chip cookie is premium, and it tasted delicious, but the base of the cookie without chocolate was also lacking flavor. The chocolate was truly carrying the cookie, which shouldn't be the case in my opinion. All in all, we were really disappointed. I would go back again at some point to see if it was just an off day, but I wouldn't rush to do so. Unfortunately, I did not find Badash Bakes to be fully worth the hype.
What a great coffee shop in Pasadena. I got some pastries to go with my coffee and wow they were so delicious. I was the only one on the shop so service was pretty fast. They have some seating inside but the place is small. The salted caramel cookie was definitely a winner. Highly recommend this bakery if you are in the area.
If you're looking to support a Black-owned business in Pasadena, now's your time to visit Bad Ash Bakes. I'm pretty sure this place has gone viral on social media, and yes, it's worth the hype. Bad Ash offers classic favorites like chocolate chip cookies and twists on classics like matcha cinnamon rolls and cornbread cookies. Their baked goods are delicious and I absolutely love that they're not too sweet. My mom said she would definitely order the cornbread blueberry loaf again. This place has limited seating, and the only downside is that it gets pretty warm in here. Idk if the AC wasn't working or if it was all the body heat because of how many people were there (it's a really popular spot).
Cute, simple and clean bakery. Staff was courteous and helpful with my decision making. Tried the cinnamon roll, matcha cinnamon roll, chocolate chip cookie and a late. Enjoyed everything.
Stopped by this place because I've seen it multiple times on Instagram. It was quaint with a few seating tables. I ordered the matcha blondie and the matcha cinnamon roll. The cashier rung me up then asked me to wait while they prepared my order. When I got it, the roll was nice and warm. Very good and sticky. The blondie was wonderfully dense with possibly a bit too much matcha powder on top, as I needed to drink something to get it down. Lots of other treats available too. Will try them out if I'm in the area again!
I've been dying to try out this spot ever since discovering Ashley when she would sell her cookies online / text to order. She's a true talent with exceptional presentation and her consistency is off the charts. With that being said, I was a little disappointed with the cookies. I ordered red velvet, matcha, and chocolate chip. Somehow the first two tasted almost the same. I appreciated that they weren't too sweet, as that is my preference.. however the designated cookie "flavor" was lacking. I did taste some cocoa from the red velvet but there wasn't even really a lingering after taste. For $4 a pop, I had expected some more punch. BUT.. I loved that the cookies looked almost identical - hence the consistency. They were super fresh and soft but still held their shape. The chocolate chip was a different story. The chocolate obviously came through and was identifiable. The cookies tasted like a brown butter base.. not sure if that's what is used, but that's kind of the flavor that came through for me. The matcha cinnamon roll was delightful, but leaned more towards the cinnamon side for sure. Despite the vibrant green color, the matcha flavor was fairly subtle. As a matcha and pastry lover, again, I expected more. For $8, it was a generous size. I ate it the following day and it was still fresh. I did heat it up for about 15 seconds just so it could be extra gooey and soft. I appreciated that it wasn't drenched in frosting! For it being Fourth of July, the staff was very focused and friendly. They have their system down and handled the crowd well. I was maybe one of the first 15 people there that morning and I observed them to be quite efficient - getting customers in and out within a few mins. I didn't order any drinks because they seemed pretty pricy to me ($8.3 for a latte and $11 for a double matcha), but I did notice the bar staff seemed a little behind on drinks. Nothing really stood out to me after looking at other peoples drinks, but I'm sure they're decent. They did look pretty small. There's no designated lot, so you should plan to park on the street.. there are various parking streets available. It's not big inside --- there's a couch that's split into about 3 small sections, a tiny wooden bar at the window with 2 seats, and then 2 sets of outdoor tables. I would visit again, but I'd probably try the regular cinnamon roll or a tres leches. Side note: I love how Ashley has never tried to conform to other people's styles -- she has amazing creations and is always looking to improve and offer seasonal items. I really admire her passion and skill. Her hard work does not go unnoticed! True bakery she has curated is absolutely stunning as well.
I've had Badash on my radar for quite a while, and now that they're open on Sundays, I finally got the chance to indulge in their cinnamon rolls. I arrived by 10am, and even then, the line was already spilling out the door, but it moved quickly. The space is cozy and intimate, yet they've managed to carve out a comfortable spot for a few to sit and savor their treats right there. I went for the classic cinnamon roll, no frills, just pure goodness. It was nice sized, soft, with just the right amount of sweetness for a balanced bite.
Stopped by on a Sunday around 9:30am, ordered around 9:50. Order at the cash register in the very inside, wait for your name to be called with your order. I agree with another reviewer upon first glance, it would probably be faster to have an employee dedicated to a customer as they make their selection, but I think the space and single register are limiting factors. Got the s'mores brownie ($7) and peach cinnamon roll ($11). Peach cinny didn't have a price tag in the case, but yeesh for $11 it better change my life! The roll was warm, and slathered in icing and had a generous amount of peaches. It tasted a little overproofed, but was still very pillow and soft. It did not change my life, was good but $11 (from the base price of ~$8) felt steep. S'mores brownie was good, very big slab of brownie topped with half an inch of torched marshmallow. If you can, I'd recommend heating this up in a toaster. It's a moist, and dense brownie, bits of chocolate chips throughout. The marshmallow is definitely a liability, sticking to anything it comes in contact with! Two couches, couple indoor and couple outdoor tables. Not a conducive space to stay a while in, especially since it's usually packed with customers. I saw the owner (Ashley aka @sobadash_) in the back with her employees, which is mad respect for her! I've followed her on TikTok for a few years, through her private chefing, bakery opening and on. Overall, the pricing reflects her brand and I respect it.
I have been wanting to try this place for months and I finally got to give it a try last Thursday. I went around 11 and found parking with no line. I was speechless. I thought it was the perfect day! I got the classic cinnamon roll and cookies(smores, toffee chocolate chip, chocolate chip, brown sugar, red velvet, peanut butter, and cornbread) The classic cinnamon roll was light and not too sweet. It wasn't anything spectacular. The cookies all were soft and had crispy edges which I love. The flavors were a little lacking. You had to really no what the cookies are to taste the flavors. The cookies weren't too sweet but wish there was a strong flavor in all of them. The peanut butter one was a bit stronger so the ones that were next to it all got a bit of the peanut butter taste too. If there is no line then I might try again but don't think I would wait for it.
Badash Bakes in Pasadena is such a fun and delicious bakery with so many unique flavors to choose from. I tried the matcha cinnamon roll and really loved it. You could actually taste both the matcha and the cinnamon roll flavors without one overpowering the other. They have a huge variety of cookies, pastries, and different cinnamon roll flavors, so there's plenty to try. The line was pretty long when I went, but it moved quickly and service was very efficient. Parking in the area can be a little difficult, but I thought it was worth it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whenever I'm in Pasadena.
I finally made it out to Pasadena. YAYYY :) There was a line out the door, but it moved fairly quickly. Parking: There is street parking available nearby, as well as several parking structures within walking distance. Parking was relatively convenient, although availability may vary depending on how busy the area is. Ordering Process: You don't place your order until you reach the cashier, which I thought was a bit unusual. I would have preferred a system where an employee boxes the items you select before you get to the register. The cashier would often have to call out to the staff which item signs needed to be removed as items sold out in real time. This made the process feel a bit disorganized. By the time I reached the cashier, several items that had been displayed when I first arrived were already sold out. It was disappointing to get excited about certain items only to find out they were no longer available when it was finally my turn to order. Food: I ended up getting a variety of cookies, and they were all delicious. I was especially hoping to try the banana bread, but unfortunately it sold out before I could order. Seating: Seating is very limited. While waiting in line, customers end up standing very close to those who are eating because there isn't much space inside. The layout can feel a bit crowded during busy times. Overall: Despite the crowded space and somewhat frustrating ordering process, the baked goods were excellent and worth the visit. I would definitely return, but I'd recommend arriving early if there's a specific item you want to try.
This is a 5 star bakery, no notes!! Finally got to try this place after driving by during their soft opening last year and seeing the longest line, in the rain, before driving off. Today (Saturday) I was prepared for the wait, but to my surprise the line moved quickly. Waited maybe 20 minutes in line, ordered, then before I could sit down my order was ready - including a very warm cinnamon roll! We ordered two specials - the banana pudding cheesecake and peach cobbler cinnamon roll. Also got a s'mores cookie from the regular menu. The banana pudding cheesecake... where do I start? This was my favorite thing. Silky smooth cheesecake, topped with the BEST banana pudding I've ever had (sorry grandma...). Those classic vanilla wafer cookies were on top, but the crust was something special. I don't know how they make it, but it was unique and delicious. The classic cinnamon roll was ranked one of the best in LA county by The Infatuation. I haven't tried many, but it's definitely amazing. It was served warmed with the peach cobbler topping. Both specials were super indulgent. The s'mores cookie is more balanced, perfectly sweetened in my opinion. A very, very thin cookie with crispy edges. I liked it. We paid about $20 for the two speciality items and the cookie. Worth every penny. The bakery is fairly small, with seating for maybe 6-8 inside and 4 outside. It's beautifully decorated. You'll be able to pass the entire display bedore ordering. Order at the register and they'll call you when it's ready. Again, the wait was short. If you order a drink, it'll be longer. We found street parking for 2 hours on the next block on Colorado. Parking right in front is 1 hour. Parking on Garfield is just 30 minutes.
I came here on a Thursday morning, at around 8:30am so that I would be able to get one of those viral cinnamon rolls I keep seeing on social media. Ashley was the cashier in charge: she was fast, efficient and kind. The gentleman manning the dispatching counter was also very professional and within minutes I was outside enjoying my cinnamon roll. The hype is real, they come out warm and they're super fresh. I grew up eating the cinnamon rolls from any Cinnabon location in any random mall, and I believe this one mimics the good points of that one a fair bit. It also has its own twist and particular flavor. I like that there's enough glazing to enjoy the cinnamon roll but not too much that it becomes overwhelming. 10/10. Highly recommended.
i love that this is women owned and i hate giving this 3 but i dropped over 40 bucks here to try a variety of things, i got a few cookies, oatmeal, chocolate chip and matcha. All very okay. flavors kinda muted for me. I wouldn't get a cookie there again. Got the coffee cake. Also wouldn't repeat. for two cinnamon rolls the OG and the regular. Both good but not omg amazing. OG was better than matcha (i love matcha) nothing was blatantly bad. But nothing was incredible. The ambiance is super cute. The coffee was fire. I got the cold brew. Service was great too. There's a line so people seem to love it. Nothing grabbed enough to return. Go & Make your own opinion! read more
Ayooo! Finally had the chance to check this place out. Cute lil bake shop tucked away in Pasadena. Here is what I ordered Cinnamon Roll 3.5/5 I had to wait 20 min cause they ran out, i think they only cook 6 at a time which was annoying. It was just mid for me, It was very soft, i like mine with a little more bite. It had a vanilla icing and I like mine with a Cream Cheese frosting. Would I drive 30 min for this, No. Brownie 5/5 Okay now this hit all the points that i'm looking for in a Brownie. Cracky top, Rich high quality chocolate, Fudge moist interior. Yes I'd drive 30 min for this! S'more Cookie 4.5/5 I Love S'mores anything, this cookie hit the mark but it could have used more choc chips. Otherwise it's a Marshmallow cookie. Oatmeal Raisin 2.5/5 It was mid, edges could have been crispy but just a soft oatmeal cookie White Choc Macadamia Cookie 1/5 This should have just been called Macadamia cookie cause the white choc was non existent. Disappointed Overall a good bake shop, Street parking, credit cards accepted. Staff extremely Nice! Check them out! read more

When I came on a Friday afternoon, there was a short line inside. I tried their iced matcha latte which was good! I also ordered a chocolate chip cookie and matcha cinnamon roll, they were both delicious. They have different cookie flavors like toffee chocolate chip, double chocolate, matcha, and peanut butter, so there's something for everyone. Parking in the area can be a little tricky, but definitely worth the stop! read more

Ashely, The BANANA PUDDING IS AWARD WINNING 100/10! I was thoroughly shocked because Ive watched your process on tiktok around roasting the bananas for rich depth nuanced flavor! AND YOU NAILED IT! Best Banana Pudding IVE EVER HAD! Will definitely be back. However your cashier today, a heavy set young black woman was ridiculously rude and had a very nasty tone! You definitely need to speak with her/them regarding the expectations of your establishment. I was actually a bit taken back by how aggressive, nasty and dismissive she was. Its just pastries, not parole officer check - in. I hope when I return because I will definitely be back for banana pudding on my cheat days, that she/they are more customer friendly and engaging. You've already given your staff plenty of freedoms in watching her sip from a stanley cup while sitting down. Lol. All the best to your future endeavors, I am rooting for you to take your talents and passions to the moon and back! read more
The instant you walk in you can sense the aroma and vibes. Everything baked here is too tier and so delicious. The toffee cookie is moist, chewy, soft, and satisfying. The smore brownie and lemon loaf were also fantastic. You order at the far left counter then they call out your name when the order is ready. I do not understand why their website differentiates morning and afternoon, everything was available in the morning when I went on Saturday. read more
Like many, I have followed Ash on social media so I made it a point to visit her storefront during my recent trip to Cali. I went around 12pm on a Wednesday afternoon and found street parking easily. Once inside, it wasn't clear to me that I had to order the cash register but after standing behind the glass waiting to be acknowledged, I was told where to go. I opted for a brown butter toffee cookie, red velvet slice, lemon loaf, brownie, and cinnamon roll. I have not tried the brownie yet so I'll circle back if it wows me. The lemon loaf was my least favorite. There's an odd flavor that's maybe lemon zest but more like the concept of lemon zest. The icing was great but the loaf itself was pretty inedible. The red velvet slice was also oddly disappointing. It was a little better when I warmed it in the microwave but it's nothing I would order again. The cookie was pretty good but the cinnamon roll was the standout. I loved it and would return to purchase that alone. I paid around $30 for everything. Happy to support and wish her continued success. read more

This was my first time trying Badash Bakes and their pastries are AMAZINGG! My favorite was the chocolate chip cookie! The staff was so sweet (especially Tanya and Max) and gave really good recommendations. I will definitely be coming back! read more
We pre-ordered cinnamon rolls over the phone for pick-up the following day and the process was really easy. Pick up at 8am was easy as well. Even when the store has a line out the door and is full of people, the staff are polite and make the pick up easy. The classic and matcha cinnamon rolls are easily the best I've had in LA. These rolls get straight to the point with being packed with cinnamon and sweetness while balanced with a bread texture that has the perfect amount of bite. read more

I'm sure by now you've seen this place all over social media and it absolutely lives up to the hype. The pastries are stunning, perfectly balanced, and most importantly, not too sweet. So many LA bakeries go overboard with sugar, but here I actually wanted to finish every bite. I got three items and loved them all. The cinnamon roll is an absolute must. We had an hour-long drive home and it was still soft and moist when we got back. The roll itself was fluffy, melted in your mouth, and had just the right amount of sweetness from the cinnamon sugar and icing. The pumpkin loaf is seasonal and it was perfect. I love anything pumpkin and adding cream cheese just made it even better. This loaf felt so much lighter compared to other pumpkin breads I've tried. I can't wait to warm up the leftovers and have them with some yogurt. It was not overly spiced and had the perfect cream cheese to loaf ratio. The cornbread cookie was such a fun surprise. It was thin and chewy with a cornbread flavor that wasn't overpowering. I would definitely make the drive again to try more of their baked goods. read more

Delicious pastries and perfectly green matcha! You have to try the cinnamon rolls - sweet, soft, and light! All pastries looked so good and I'm definitely going back to try more! Service was friendly and there are a few couches to enjoy pastries inside. read more
I live in Pasadena and have passed this place on Colorado a couple times and the line is just long! Outside on the sidewalk folks are lined up. I didn't know it was this bakery until i seen one day so i made a point to try. Then i found out it's black owned so i really wanted to try. me and my sister both wanted to try so we went close to closing and we didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable. We ordered half a dozen cookies (matcha- i really enjoyed, oatmeal raisin, 2 toffee choco chip, smores and double chocolate), 1 cinnamon roll, 1 matcha cinnamon roll and 1 matcha latte. The breading in the cinnamon rolls was good but I'm personally not a fan cream cheese frosting but if you do you will like the cinnamon rolls. The matcha cookie was so yummy. The cookies are soft and they melt in your mouth. They aren't overly sweet. I would definitely go back! read more
I was very excited to come here but wanted to wait until the lines died down. So, we came early on a Wednesday morning and were practically the only people there. I got to see the full selection of pastries on display and wanted one of everything, but restrained myself and stuck to cinammon rolls and cookies. The cinammon rolls were 10/10. You can just tell the owner used quality ingredients to make them. Out of the original and matcha flavors I was surprised I liked the matcha one better. The cookies were good too. All of them had the same bite to them which I enjoyed. Soft and a little chewy. I will say that no one flavor stood out and wowed me, so I think I'll explore the rest of the menu next time and skip the cookies. The drinks were great tho! My cortado w oat milk was perfectly executed and the matcha w strawberry and banana was yummy. I look forward to trying more drinks. read more

Finally made it to this spot after seeing all the photos shared on IG. No line when I went and got a front parking space. I ordered the toffee chocolate chip cookie, white macadamia cookie, banana bread, and cinnamon roll. I enjoyed the cookies with milk, excuse me inhaled them! Delicious and chewy. The cinnamon roll is soft and has the right amount of sweetness. Definitely the perfect amount of frosting. I really like that it's not drenched in frosting. Also, it's not dry in any way. I did not take a photo of the banana bread. That was the BEST banana bread I've had in my life. There's no after taste left of oil or heavy butter ingredients. It is moist and light and authentically banana. Can't wait to bring my friends and family. read more
Slightly overrated. We arrived 10 minutes before opening. The staff was attentive but I think they need a better ordering system as it is VERY small in there and trying to form two separate ordering lines, a waiting area and a pick up area in that small of a space is tooooo much. We ordered cornbread cookie (skip), lemon loaf (skip), choc chip cookie (yes), regular cinnamon roll (yes) and matcha cinnamon roll (50/50), london fog latte (yes) strawberry matcha (skip and get regular). Nothing was out of this world for me. Chocolate chip cookie and regular cinnamon roll were very good but again, i've had similar at other places. Once we got home we realized everything was better warmed up. Overall it's good but with the built up online hype I had seen, I personally expected a little more. read more
We went at the end of the day so there wasn't a whole lot left but anything you buy from here is so good. We ordered a strawberry matcha, cinnamon roll latte, matcha cinnamon roll, matcha cookie, cornbread cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookies are so soft, even a day or so later. The cinnamon roll latte has a layer on top of the actual icing that they put on the cinnamon rolls. It was pretty quick service since there were only few customers in there and fairly quiet. read more
The surface here was quick and friendly. I came in on a Saturday around 2:30 Pm. Now just so you know you order at the cash register and they call your name once they have your stuff ready. The vibe is cool. Now on to the food, I have the cinnamon roll, the brownie, chocolate chip cookie and the double chocolate chip. All of them are DELICIOUS !!!! I like chocolate and so does my wife. We will definitely come back. Next time we will try the Matcha . I highly recommend this place. We definitely will come back. Great service and great food. Definitely worth a try. read more

On a Saturday morning at 8:07am, my sister and I drove by to see the line. The line wasn't too bad since they open at 8am. We waited 35min in line to go inside. There was 6 people inside the store placing their order with cashier and waiting for counter person to packaged the dessert items. Some were waiting for their ice coffee drinks or speciality pasties in matcha. They had coffee cake, cookies, slices of loaf breads, and brownies. We didn't see any cake slices yet. The cookie was thin and tastes good and coffee cake was moist. Next time I would try their cake slices, read more

We got the matcha cinnamon roll and s'mores brownie. Went on Friday afternoon and there was no line. The cinnamon roll was just okay, flavor wasn't outstanding, and unbalanced to me. Would've rather gone with the regular one. The brownie was dense and had a good texture, not too sweet. Better without the marshmallow in my opinion. The service was a bit standoffish, not very welcoming. The interior was clean and well kept. Good to try once, but probably not a place I'd crave. read more
I was very excited to try their cinnamon rolls and drinks! The line was pretty long for an early morning on Friday but the service was quick and we got all our food and drinks without too much of a wait. The matcha cinnamon rolls were very matcha-y, which I liked! Next time, I definitely want to try their matcha drinks! I thought the original cinnamon roll was just ok though. Both were much better once I heated them up a bit at home. The Spanish latte wasn't too sweet so it still paired well with the cinnamon rolls. There are a few free street parking spots on Colorado and two outdoor tables so we were able to eat outside with our little dog! read more

Visited Badash about 20 minutes after its 8am opening on a Saturday and a line had already formed outside. Fortunately it moved quickly and I didn't purchase any beverages otherwise my overall wait total would have been longer. But what do you expect on a Saturday morning at this clearly popular establishment. Its location is on busy Colorado Blvd but there is plenty of parking both on the street and in nearby lots, if you're creative. I purchased the classic cinnamon roll and a matcha cinnamon roll and was pleased with the size to price to taste ratio; their classic was exactly what I was hoping for when I woke up with a cinnamon roll craving. I wasn't sure about the matcha. As I opened up its box, a vibrant green stared back at me, but I was pleased to taste a muted, earthy, matcha and found it to be a nice balance to the general sweetness. I think I'll stick to a classic, which was more to my taste and keep my matcha in drink form, but I'd definitely recommend at least trying it. Should also mention they sell $2 day old cookies which I would consider a steal considering the large size of their cookies. read more
Unfortunately just another overhyped spot popularized by social media. Ordered the cornbread cookie, matcha cinnamon roll, and a strawberry matcha latte. The cornbread cookie was ok but a bit too soft. The matcha cinnamon roll barely tasted like matcha and was very soggy. The strawberry matcha latte didn't taste like strawberry at all and basically tasted like 90% matcha and 10% milk. I brought the latte back home to my husband and when he drank it he asked me if there was even milk in it. I am happy to support small businesses but only when they deliver a quality product that is in alignment with how much they charge for it. read more

I was super excited to try the cinnamon rolls here and they definitely did not disappoint. Everything about it was perfect, from the pillow-y texture, to the ratio of frosting on it. I'm still thinking about it and I am already planning my next visit. While I was there, I also got the s'mores brownie. It was a little too sweet for my liking, and the marshmallow layer separated a bit from the brownie. I should have warmed it up a bit, but I was too excited and ate it right away. read more

The desserts are BOMBB! I got here at 10:30 a.m. on a Saturday and waited maybe 20 minutes in line and then another 5 until my order was ready. I love Ashley's videos and I've seen a lot of negative discourse about her desserts. After trying her desserts myself, I can truly say everything was delicious and made with quality ingredients. If you dont like her stuff you're probably used to processed foods made with low quality ingredients. She's a CHEF and knows what shes doing *also cookies ARE sold before noon. Maybe its a typo on the menu? Idk Banana pudding 10/10. I love how real it tastes unlike a lot of artificial puddings. S'mores cookie: 9/10. A delicious flavorful cookie. I will say it's a chocolate chip cookie with a marshmallow in it. I didn't get any chunks of graham cracker so i'm not sure if it's in the cookie or not S'mores brownie: 10/10 Again I didn't get any hint of grahm cracker but the freshly made and torched marshmallow topping is delicious! It's pretty sweet and dense but I loved it! read more

Matcha Cinnamon Roll - Just OK, it was underbaked for me. The matcha taste didn't really come out either. Regular Cinnamon Roll - This one had better consistency than the matcha one. Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie - Nice flavor, thin cookie. I like the thinness of it but I wish it was crispier overall. The corners of the cookie had some crisp but the inside was too soft, kind of underbaked. Matcha Cookie - Fine, but didn't really taste the matcha. Banana Bread Pudding - It was ok. But I'm biased since Magnolia Bakery ruined all other banana bread puddings for me. Overall, the flavors definitely have potential. The consistency just needs some work. As for service, the online portal was easy to navigate and gave me a pick-up time of 10:16am. I arrived at 10:20ish AM, was handed my order, and went on my way. Once outside, I noticed an item was missing so I went back inside. The team corrected the issue quickly and without questioning me, which I appreciated. However, I was told that the reason the order was incomplete was because I arrived "too fast" before the last item was packed up. Since I actually arrived AFTER my scheduled pick-up time, I think this is more of a process issue than timing. A few learning opportunities: - Ensure that fully packed orders are placed in the designated pick-up area - If an order isn't the designated pick-up area and somewhere else, double check its status before handing out (this is what happened to me; I saw that my order bag was in the drinks station) - Avoid shifting blame and suggesting the customer was "too early" and that's the reason why the order went out incomplete. And lastly for ambience, the place is small, normal bakery size. Some seats outside and couches inside for waiting. Not really a place to sit down all day, more pick up style. read more

i am SO happy i decided to come back & give Badash Bakes another try! i stopped by the bakery right after work because i REALLY wanted to try their matcha cinnamon roll. i was a bit anxious that they weren't going to have anymore due to my last visit but i got so happy when the lady told me they still have matcha cinnamon rolls!!! the line wasn't long at all & i received my cinnamon roll literally couple mins after i ordered. they are quick & i love that! i also got myself their strawberry banana matcha. it's SO GOOD. 10/10 yumm! read more
