    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.

    I haven't been here in about year and wanted to get a treat for my family. I walked in today and it looked pretty runned down inside. I got the 20 pc stack and a mochi donut. Almost $20. I come home and open the box and the stax is mini size!! Not the size I remember, but the same price. Ridiculous! They taste fine but I thought I was getting what I remembered! I won't come back. Only gave 2 stars cause the flavor. I looked at previous pictures on the reviews and you can see they use to be way bigger just a year ago! Shame.

    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!

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

    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.

    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!

    Decided to come try this place out during Elk Grove Restaurant week. Only good thing about this place was first walking in and seeing all the different colors and flavors they had. And the jalapeño cream kolache wasn't terrible. Looked clean and aesthetically pleasing inside but don't let that fool you. A definite no no on the donuts. We ordered individual donuts and the employee just threw them in each bag and they came out super squished. The flavors were too sweet and they tasted like they were made with old oil. They were not fuffy like donuts are supposed to be. They were really dense and even ordering the guavas one, there was barely a dot of jelly inside. I told the employee I was checking in for Restaurant week and I was supposed to also get 15% off, I even asked if the discount had been applied as well. He told me that he had, yet the price didn't change. I got my receipt back and he definitely did not apply the discount. I was hopeful since this place is around the corner but I don't think I'll be coming back. I rather get better donuts and service elsewhere.

Large, very clean. All of the employees were friendly. It has a little bit of everything. It has a bakery, sandwiches, soups, stews, other items as well. They even serve an afternoon tea. I decided to go for the chicken and mushroom congee. (rice porridge.). I also got a green onion hotdog roll to take home with me. To drink, I had a green tea with lemon. The congee was amazing. A rich complex flavor. It had a little bit of ginger in it, you could definitely taste the ginger, but it did not overwhelm the rest of the porridge. The chicken was good, and for the mushroom, they used black mushrooms, which have a deeper flavor than regular mushrooms. So very good. It looked like a small bowl, but I couldn't finish it. Some came home with me, and it reheated very well. It also came with Chinese donuts to put in the porridge. Chinese donuts are a little bit different. They definitely taste like a doughnut, except they are not sweet at all. They are savory donuts, and are perfect to use as a crouton, so to speak. The green tea was very good, and they didn't overdo it with the lemon, and that hotdog roll that I had later, the pastry was delicious with just a little bit of a "chew" to it, they were definitely high-quality hot dogs, and it wasn't just green onion. They had something mixed in, I'm not sure what it was, but it didn't taste raw like green onion can. Just a great lunch. I'll be back. Thanks.

My friend saw that Elk Grove Donuts released their new young coconut series and wanted us to try it. We came around 11 am on a Saturday and it was pretty busy! We ordered two young coconut sticky rice pandan donuts, one young coconut pandan donut, young coconut matcha, and matcha latte. Everything together cost over $41, which we thought was a little ridiculous for donuts and matcha drinks. We were also shocked how small the young coconut matcha was when it came out. Kinda disappointed on the taste too as it was pretty telling when it wasn't a vibrant green. The matcha latte was just okay. The donuts of course were really pretty, but in reality it wasn't with the price over a normal donut. I think it would have been better if the flavors were incorporated into the donut itself versus it just having the frosting and toppings. Both are very heavy, so be prepared for a nap! It was extremely sweet too and a lot compared to the donut itself. Overall, I don't think I'd come back for their speciality donuts. They are pretty overhyped online, however I would be happy to try their normal donuts.

The store is a feast for your eyes, and stomach of course! It's also the go to place for custom made cakes. No, they are not cheap, but they are superb in quality compared to some other cakes. Their cakes come in many different sizes and flavors. They are very busy so make sure you order well in advance for custom orders. Recently, my 50th Bday cake was from there. Salted Chocolate Caramel. It was decadent and delicious! I even had leftover slice the next morning with my coffee. We also customed ordered a Fruit Basket Cake for my sister's Bday (which is the same week as my bday). It's her favorite cake flavor and it didn't disappoint. They use butter cream and it is smooth as can be. In my opinion, it is truly the BEST bakery in Sacramento. It will still be here when all of the trendy places come and go.
