Badash Bakes
247 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA
Crema's Take
“Badash Bakes is a beloved Black woman-owned bakery in Pasadena where indulgence meets intention, thanks to owner Ashley's evident passion visible in every detail. Their signature creations shine brightest in unexpected flavor combinations—think matcha blondies with real depth and strawberry banana matcha lattes that have people wishing they could find them anywhere—paired with elevated cinnamon rolls that feel like Cinnabon's gourmet older sibling. It's the kind of place worth a 25-minute wait on Valentine's Day, where every visit feels like supporting something genuinely special while treating yourself to something genuinely delicious.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Classic Cinnamon Roll - I enjoy a good old-fashioned cinnamon roll from Cinnabon. To me they just get it right. And this cinnamon roll felt like an elevated version of that. Ridiculously gooey and soft, it felt like eating a cinnamon cloud. Definitely something I would purchase…
