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

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

Badash Bakes - Chewy cookies! Yummy! - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

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.

I been wanting to try out the cinnamon rolls for a while now, I got to try the Matcha & Classic, along with some cookies, and I ended up enjoying the cookies more than the cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls were good, but nothing spectacular. The Smore & Toffee cookie were for sure delicious. It's definitely a good spot to try out if you are craving some baked goods. read more

Such a great shop to try some new desserts. I tried the chocolate chip, matcha, and double chocolate cookies. All were perfectly soft and flavored.

Seen lots of hype for this spot on TikTok but overall it's just like any other bakery. The toffee chocolate chip cookie was good sweet nothing special and the s'mores cookie was okay like a 7/10. Overall the options are nice but they dont warm anything up for you so it's cold and honestly it's kind of dead inside. I don't know the hype made this place sound super good but it was just okay disappointed forsure. 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

I have been wanting to try this place for months! I have been a follower of Ashley on TikTok for years. I was so excited when I found out she opened her own bakery close by. She used to sell her cookies online and they always looked divine. I was lucky to find some street parking on a Saturday morning around 10am. The line wasn't that long when I arrived luckily but it was packed inside. The interior is beautiful, she designed it well. The display case of pastries was a dream. Lots of cookie flavors, brownies, loafs, cinnamon rolls, and cakes. I ordered a cinnamon roll, a s'mores brownies, a toffee cookie, a strawberry tres leches, banana pudding and red velvet cake and a strawberry matcha. The total was around $55. The baked goods were packed pretty fast and I waited an additional few minutes for my drink. You can taste the quality in her baking. She knows what she's doing. The cookie was great, great flavor and texture. The strawberry tres leches was my favorite!! I also loved the s'mores brownie, it was decadent and rich and I love the generous portion. The red velvet was also really good, nice flavor and moist. The cinnamon roll was also really good, so soft!! The banana pudding was my least favorite, a little too much vanilla wafer for my preference. The strawberry matcha was also not bad. Good matcha flavor and quality. Overall, it's been a while since I've had such a positive experience with mostly all items I've ordered at bakery. Amazing addition to Pasadena. Also great vibes inside. Love that they sell yesterdays cookies at a discount too. 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

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

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 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

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 would give more than 5 stars if I could. Walking in felt like a warm hug, the smell of browned butter filled the air. It is pretty small inside but they have some tables outside. I was greeted by the staff and they helped me make my decisions on what to get. The staff was incredibly kind and service was fast. This is was the BEST chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. It was crunchy but gooey and soft. I tried the lemon loaf per staffs recommendation, it was very yummy but not something I'd get again. I can't wait to come back and try everything else. I hope this business flourishes and grows ! 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!

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! 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

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

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'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.

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

Nice new bakery taking the place of the old Frenchfornia location across from the paseo. Lots of pastries and sweets to select from including their popular banana pudding. gal behind the pastry counter was very friendly but the cashier was not all that friendly which sucks for a small shop to not have friendly employees - everyone else seemed very friendly.

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

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
