The long-awaited BAD Bakers is open in the Woodland Gateway shopping center.

The soft opening started at noon on Friday, offering only its Staxx Bread (Spanish sweet rolls). A grand opening is set for noon on Saturday, where it should have a wider selection of its typical offerings.

Its menu includes raised, cake, French cruller, mochi and ube doughnuts; Kronuts (its name for a croissant/doughnut cross); and ube Staxx Bread. The doughnuts and Kronuts come with a wide variety of flavored icings and toppings. Check out its menu here.

BAD Bakers is at 2021 Bronze Star Drive, Suite 400, in a spot last occupied by Subway. BAD is an acronym for bread and doughnuts.

→ Climbing soon: The climbing gym The Stack Climbing + Fitness is almost ready to open. Management had hoped to open it this weekend but it’s waiting for final city approval.
