Soooo glad we believe insta and came here!! We came by on a Sunday around 10am and it was pretty empty at the store so we walked right in. I ordered a cinnamon roll of every flavor, 6 cookies and the s'mores brownie. The best thing about all of the desserts were how fresh the ingredients tasted! Everything was delicious and not drowning in sugar. The store itself is small with couches and is dog friendly. The staff is helpful and pleasant. If you're lucky there is street parking in front but there is even more available at city hall! read more

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. read more

Badash Bakes - Classic Cinnamon Roll - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

I work in Pasadena a few times every month, so it was time today to try this spot that's been all over my FYP! Parking, I imagine, can be a little difficult on the weekends, but on this Thursday, there was some pretty good street parking. Inside, it wasn't too crowded, so the staff was super attentive and explained some of their favorite pastries! I went with the classic cinnamon roll, one of my favorite desserts. There's a seating area inside with some pretty comfy couches, but the space is pretty small. The cinnamon roll was great, since it was soft all around with a strong flavor! I'll be back, and I really want to grab some cookies next time! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came here for the cinnamon rolls and they didn't disappoint! The banana pudding was surprisingly good too. Took a star off because the matcha was just okay for the price. But I did like the pastries. The place is pretty small and doesn't have a lot of tables. It's mainly street parking too. read more

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. read more

( My original post was REMOVED but I retained a copy ) The overall Yelp rating does not reflect foods and beverages--but the public relations between merchants, employees and consumers. Part I: Production of Service Evelyn, cashier, food service and barista: Five Stars Most staff (Front House) are pleasant and friendly. For most customers, you will not know if you are "waiting in line or standing out of line" to place orders. So I advise customers to check and not assume. There is no visible signage or standing partitions used to organize guests lines and separate customers who've ordered and waiting for orders. Part II: Food Review [Customer Service] All foods and beverages receive: Five Stars I've enjoyed most items like the banana pudding and tres leches cake (highly recommended) for other food and drink items--I do recommend although I may not have tried nor enjoyed them---doesn't imply that production of taste and texture and flavor isn't Michelin quality. Foods and beverages are pricey--but the owner offers DISCOUNTED COOKIES (i.e., cookies that may not sell the day before are sold half-priced) call ahead to verify. Call for business hours. Customer Tip: For lines that may be longer than usual---I advise (while waiting inline) call to make sure that what you are waiting in line to order is indeed available for you to purchase. Merchant communications and advisements to customers (guest) outside the establishment are often overlooked and not considered. Buyer Beware. read more

Finally had a chance to try this popular bakery. We arrived at about 1:30 on a weekday and they still had plenty of baked goods to select from, including the cinnamon rolls that they are known for. The shop has a well-oiled process for taking orders and filling orders. Despite the steady line of customers, the people are patient and helpful if you need assistance in picking out items as a first time visitor. The cinnamon rolls were very good - light and fluffy. The cookies leaned towards the sweet side. We tried the chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia, peanut butter, s'mores, and red velvet. The peanut butter was our least favorite. The chocolate chip and s'mores were our favorite. The coffee cake was ok, but the carrot cake was excellent. Overall - great bakery with plenty of choices for different palates. read more

Came here because of the social media posts about the big cookies! There's street parking in front of the store that's metered and a "free" 15 minute green zone available. There were plenty of options available when we got there! They display their available pastries in a transparent display case and it was refreshed pretty often. They also sell their day-old cookies for a discounted price! It was my first time there and everyone gave us recommendations on what pastries were customer favorites and baker favorites! When you're ready, they actually have you go to the cashier and then when you pay, they prepare your pastries and drinks for you. There's a few tables inside and outside for you to enjoy their baked goods! I got 2 cookies, 1 cinnamon roll, and 1 banana pudding for my family and the total came out to be $24.50. Baked Goods: Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie (8.1/10): This one was my boyfriend's favorite and he hasn't shut up about it since. This one is exactly how it's named. The dough was entirely toffee flavored (adds a nutty flavor) and the amount of chocolate chips they added was perfect for a sugar tooth's palette. I personally thought that this one was too sweet for me but this was unique to me. Chocolate Chip Cookie (8/10): A chocolate chip cookie lover's dream. It was a flat chocolate chip cookie that has a 80/20 ratio of chocolate chips to dough. If you like a doughier chocolate chip cookie, this one isn't for you. The chocolate got all over my fingers (not a complaint) and the sea salt they added on top was the perfect saltiness that cut through the sweetness of everything. Banana Pudding (7.9/10): I like a good banana pudding that doesn't have artificial flavoring and this hit the spot. The wafers that they use in the pudding added a perfect texture to the creaminess of the pudding. I liked how they left some (intentionally or unintentionally) uncoated so it had a crunchy texture to the pudding. I wished that every spoonful was more consistent with pudding and wafers but that's just a personal preference. Cinnamon Roll (7.5/10): Every single bite was coated in the frosting! Each layer/swirl was covered in the frosting and cinnamon (paste?). I asked one of the bakers that were refreshing the baked goods and she said that they were known for their cinnamon roll! They definitely are, it was gooey, sweet, and cinnamony. The layers were soft and this one definitely would taste amazing out of the oven. read more

Came here about a week ago and like everyone says, the way ordering is set up makes no sense. I was there when it was very slow and believe the business should definitely work on this. If they had a setup similar to other eateries like Artelice or Laduree, it would flow way better. The way that it's setup now with a viewing area with staff to only answer questions,then ordering in the back of the business, then backtracking to the coffee station to grab pastries, then going to the front of the store for cutlery and napkins and THEN going back to the coffee station to get any drinks... whew a mess. Can't imagine how bad it is when it's actually busy. Got the plain cinnamon roll and it was just okay, especially for the price. I feel like they use one type of cinnamon (ceylon cinnamon, maybe?) instead of a mix. It was very strong on the drier notes some cinnamon varieties tend to have. The espresso was ok. I wanted to try other drinks, but the prices were highway robbery. The price of the London fog latte being 7.50??? Crazy work. Especially since the menu does absolutely nothing when giving descriptions on what is in or on each oroduct (ie - store made syrup, earl grey tea harvested from the alps itself, the cinnamon roll explaining if it's frosting or cream cheese, etc) Additionally, I was drinking my espresso, tilted my head up, and saw this... nice thing to look at while I was eating right underneath it.

Stopped by this cute little bakery in the heart of Pasadena to try their viral matcha cinnamon roll. The shop itself is charming and cute. They had a selection of cookies and freshly baked loaves, including banana bread, blueberry cornbread and carrot cake, all of which looked incredibly appetizing. The matcha cinnamon roll had a great balance of cinnamon and matcha that worked surprisingly well together. It's one of those pastries that's worth making a trip to Pasadena for. I will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the pastry case. 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

This rating is for the food only. The tiramisu cake was really moist and decadent. The cream on too was light with a hint of espresso. I really enjoyed it and it wasn't as dense as I thought it would be. The s'more cookie was thin yet soft, with a nice thin dollop of marshmallow. Not too sweet yet enjoyable. I would definitely get both again. Staff, however, did not greet or acknowledge people upon entering. They seemed too busy with getting orders ready. 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.

Next time we're down in Southern California we'll stop by to try their other foods! Congrats on the new bakery! 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

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

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

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

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!

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 love chewy cookies and came here to give them a try. I first bought a matcha flavor to see if it is the chewy texture I like. It didn't disappoint! Then I ordered red velvet, smores, and oatmeal raisin. All the flavors tasted pretty good. Not crazy sweet and with a consistent chew texture that I love! I would definitely come back for more next time I am around! The only thing that was a bit weird to me was I had to order at the register instead of just directly at where I can see the cookies. So I had to remember what I wanted without looking at the flavors. The ambience is definitely a fancy little shop for cookies. read more

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

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!

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
