Bad Joan goes to Doughboys Bakery

If you live in Los Angeles then you've probably been to Doughboys on 3rd.  But did you know that they opened a stand alone bakery shop on Beverly Blvd.?!  For those of you not in LA you have to realize that Doughboys makes the most amazing (and huge) baked goods.  They are best known for their red velvet cake and it is truly and unbelievably delicious! 

This new stand alone bakery opened just a block and half from the Bad Joan office!  Which is amazing and terrifying at the same time.  So of course Bad Joan had to go and check it out...

They have little tables and chairs out front so Bad Joan went outside to enjoy the weather and her delicious chocolate chip cookie...

...when she realized just how ginormous the cookie actually was...

Moral of the story?  Definitely visit the Doughboys bakery BUT bring a friend (or two) because the goodies are big enough to share!
