“ Stopped by and get this donut shop a try. I thought this place was pretty creative with their donuts. ”
“ Unique & creative Bread And Donut (BAD) shop. Not your basic donut shop. They have different flavors & toppings all decorated nicely too. They also have cookies & flan. Came here for the spanish / señorita bread AKA staxx & definitely walked out with 3 boxes of it. Reminds me of Starbread. Soft, buttery, & often served fresh and HOT. The best! You can never have just one. The staff was helpful in suggesting what to get. The pastries were all so good. ”
“ They offer staxx bread and a variety of donuts and bundles (bread plus donuts), but I went there for the staxx, which are like ultra soft breadsticks dripping in sugary butter. I got 20 pieces in a box for $13. The staxx are comparable to the senorita bread from Starbread Bakery - both are pillowy bundles of sweet, buttery carbs. The staxx came out piping hot and ready to eat. Definitely a satisfying treat when fresh. The staxx are also tasty when cold, as I gobbled some straight out of the fridge the next day. Warming them up in the microwave is an option, too. You know something's good when you can eat it at any temp. Interior was compact, clean, and well-organized. The lady at the front helped me with my questions and was patient when I was scoping the other items. Parking was kinda iffy since it shares a small lot with the Starbucks there, but I was lucky that a spot reserved for the shop became available. ”
“ We came here on whim, mostly to try the sweet bread (Spanish rolls), hot dog kolache, jalapeño and cheese kolache, and ube sweet bread. The bread is very buttery and If you like butter it'll taste even better it was a quick order since we arrived right before they closed. For being the end of the day batch the quality was amazing. I hope to come back near opening to try these pastries fresh out of the oven. The parking is fair, but again we came at the end of the day but I can see this being a challenge as it's in a small plaza next to two other stores, with about 20-25 parking spots. It's a quick service spot. You can't eat inside or anywhere to sit. So definitely a grab and go! Next time I hope to try the egg rolls, and donuts! ”
“ Stopped by with my husband looking for pandesal for Christmas and was blown away! They also have donuts, kronut holes, and Spanish bread (called staxx), which they keep in the back. The super nice guy running the store gave us two warm staxx to try, and they were incredible. He even gave us an extra kronut hole because one didn't seem fully filled--such thoughtful service! Everything was fresh, warm, and delicious. Exceeded all our expectations--love this place ambiance is cute inside. Can't wait to come back! ”
“ Found this place on the 2G2G app and it did not disappoint! When I arrived, the parking lot was a bit small but I wasn't difficult to find parking. I entered the cute store and was helped by a nice girl. I told her I was here for my order and she politely picked out my donuts. I asked if the famous staxx that they were known for were included. She told me they weren't...then slowly went to the back and hooked me up with two hot ones! That was sweet of her! Thanks so much. I'll definitely be back. ”
“ bad bakers has been on my list for a minute and i was finally able to visit over a wknd. ive been seeing posts on ig from here and i knew i needed to get their staxx (spanish rolls) i wanted to also get their ube staxx (avail only fri-sun) but they werent avail during my visit, they were still baking and needed another 15m..next time tbh, i wanted one of everything LOL they had a good selection out but i feel like it wasnt everything def want to visit again to get the ube staxx they offer: cake donuts, kronuts, raised donuts and mochi donuts this visit i got staxx, a few of their donuts, jalapeño cream cheese & egg rolls (lumpia) i love how their creme filling (flavor injections) comes in a syringe . i got three, strawberry, custard and chocolate i loved loved LOVED their og staxx, my box were fresh out of the oven. i couldnt resist trying one during my drive home. so soft, buttery and a hint of sweetness customer service was good signed up to be part of their rewards program parking: shared lot with starbucks ”
“ Senorita bread... yum! BAD Bakers call Senorita breads "Staxx" so make sure to order this when you come here. Their Staxx are warm, fluffy, and perfectly buttery with just the right amount of sweetness to it. They are tiny, which makes sense why they sell them by quantities of 15. What surprised me were their pork empanadas ($4.25) and Hotdog Kolache and Ham and Cheese Kolache ($3.75 each). They were so good! I didn't try their donuts as none of them interested me, but I will certainly be back to get their Staxx, Kolache, and Empanada. The bakery is clean and the lady who helped me was very nice. She gave me tips on how to reheat the Staxx at home when there are leftovers. This place is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Sadly, I'm hardly out in this direction, but will make a point to stop by when I can! ”
“ Definitely check out Bad Bakers when you're having sweet AND savory cravings. Their wide selection of donuts was a nice surprise. You can choose from regular style cake donuts, cronuts, mochi and raised donuts! Also loved their fresh "Staxx" (spanish rolls). If you love bread and butter, you will fall in love with this ”
“ First time coming to this bakery and I was surprised. Interior was very clean and the staff was super friendly. They sell sweet bread here which is quite tasty. They have a few merchandise for sale and the prices are quite reasonable. I really liked their savory pastries. The ham and cheese after being toasted was superb. The pork empanadas was also good. The Oreo donut and mochi donut was ok. I like how everything here is made fresh and they are constantly refilling their baked goods. Tons of Ube flavored treats and flan as well. BAD stands for bread and donut which I thought was an interesting store name and I like it. Located next to a Starbucks so it's easy to find. They do sell coffee here so it was easy to make a one stop shop run. They even have a rewards system where they welcome you with free sweet rolls and you can collect points and redeem them for future goodies. ”
