Great bakery/coffee place super close to my house and located perfectly in the area…read more They have a wide variety of pastries sweet and not sweet, prepackaged sandwiches, whole cakes perfect for different events. There is even options for Vegan and Vegan/Gluten Free. They offer a variety of coffees a few Iced Teas. Ambiance is always busy with people even on a Saturday afternoon. Service is super fast! We got a Black Iced Tea and a variety of pastries since we were heading to a friend's house. I love the quality of the products here and the best for me is the freshness and that the sweets are not that sweet. They have only four small tables inside to sit and one outside. Lots of parking.

I'm a huge fan of Starbread Bakery! The first time I've ever had it was actually up in Northern…read moreCalifornia. There is another location near me that I enjoy, but we stopped by this location when we were in San Diego. Service was quick and the interior was very clean. There was a kind young lady who helped us with our order. We had gotten 5 pieces in a bag and also bought 25 pieces. The bread came out fresh and hot! It's indescribable. It's fantastic. If you truly enjoy fresh bread with some sweetness, you'll definitely love starbread. I have no criticism! Only love and excitement for the next time I get my bread fix!

Starbread Bakery specialises in señorita bread and it is amazing.

They taste the best when hot so you would want to eat them right away. They have other pastries like pandesal, malasadas, donuts, and flavoured señorita bread (not hot). It is a cozy shop and only for takeouts. The staff is very friendly. Try this bakery and enjoy their amazing señorita bread.

La Concha Bakery is one of my all time favorite panaderia's. Located in the heart of Chula Vista,…read moreit is a family-owned bakery that specializes in traditional pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), and custom cakes! Known for their fresh, daily-baked pastries, it features a self-service (tray-and-tongs) experience in a clean, welcoming environment! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Always making great recommendations for their customers! Parking can be a bit tricky with very few spaces available. Pricing is somewhat higher than it used to be, but then again so is everything else (like gas, lol). They have a great selection of conchas, polvorones, fresh bolillos, empanadas (chicken, beef, jalapeño cream cheese), and custom cakes! Typically, I get the empanadas de piña 10/10! They're so freaking delicious! They feature a golden, buttery, and flaky crust that shatters perfectly when bitten. Inside, they're filled with a rich, jammy pineapple filling that balances bright, tropical sweetness with a sharp, fruity tartness! Highly recommended!

I came in for the first time during Día de los Muertos and honestly the experience was a mix of…read morehighs and lows. The moment you walk through the door, the smell of fresh baked pan hits you and it is everything. The selection of pan dulce and bolillos had me feeling like I was back in Mexico City. So many options, beautifully displayed. That part alone almost made the trip worth it. But the customer service... yeah, I'm not the only one who noticed. I asked the lady at the register in Spanish if there was any chocolate pan de muerto and she completely ignored me. Like, didn't even look up. Just called someone from the back in Spanish, which, mija, I understood every word. The girl who came to help me was a little better but not much. She told me the chocolate pan de muerto was sold out, which fine, I get it, it was a holiday. But that's literally all you had to say. No smile, no "sorry we're out," nothing. Just took my money and that was that. The panadería itself deserves five stars. The staff needs some work. I'll probably go back for the pan because it really is that good, but I'm keeping my expectations low on the service side.

The service has always been good, and they are consistently fast and helpful with their customers. They have a huge selection, but of course, you can't forget their famous strudel--definitely something worth trying! This place is also special to me because they made my wedding cake back when the original owners were still around. It's great to see that the new owners have continued the tradition while making a lot of nice upgrades to the business. I can really appreciate the improvements. Overall, great quality, good service, plenty of selection, and a business with history. It may cost a little more, but in my experience, it's well worth it. Definitely worth stopping by and giving them a try!

Matcha croissant (with standout matcha cream inside) strawberry croissant, bacon and shiso twist, cream filled buns, matcha kinako donut, curry pan (hefty curry to bread ratio was a winner, not saucy, but full of flavor). As the saying goes, it wasn't "too sweet" so it was delish!! IYKYK. And yes, I had a bite of everything. Surprisingly the hojicha lattes were standout as well. I wasn't expecting such a deep nutty flavor from a green tea brew, new fan. Cute spot, parking is tricky, but worth the stop.

There's a lot of desserts to choose from! I got the oreo cookie looking cake slice. The iced latte was great! Hit the spot! The cake was a little on the dry side, but I really liked the flavor! We sat inside and it's a very pleasant cozy dining room. A breeze was blowing through which was nice especially since the day was sunny, it felt like we were outside. The staff is friendly! We were there for about an hour and a half, until it was time for them to close...LOL! Definitely worth checking out! I would stop by again if in the area.

My daughter ordered the strawberries and Nutella crepes and they do not disappoint. Very generous on every aspect the fresh strawberries, the Nutella and the crepe. 4 star because my pear tea (which I drink hot) was kind of not so pleasant , almost like an instant tea flavor to it with a sweet taste that was not for me. Should have gone for the coffee with delicious grains staring at me on the top of the coffee machine.

i think out of all the Valerio's, this location is my favorite. I haven't visited in awhile and…read morecame here on a Thursday morning at 645AM and it was busy. I was also surprised to see that they expanded their space that offers seating and a coffee shop! They use beans sourced from Philippines for their coffee. Good move on their end if you want to enjoy your filipino pastry with coffee or tea! My go to items rotate between the Spanish bread, pizza pandesal, and regular pandesal fresh from the oven. For my most recent visit, I was surprised to see they had the ilocos empanada available. Like i mentioned, its been a minute since coming here so not sure how long they've been making them. The last time i had an ilocos empanada was when visited Vigan Philippines in 2017! I ordered on in addition to a chicken empanada and pizza pandesal. I decided to check out the coffee shop and what made me backtrack was that they make calamansi tea (with either black or jasmine tea). Decided to order that and eat the ilocos empanada at the cafe while it was still warm. The ilocos empanada: big portion ($6). You can order with or without cheese ($7 with cheese). I opted without cheese because this is how i remember eating it. It also comes with a vinegar sauce. It was delicious. Perfect crunch. Perfect ratios of papaya, mung beans, meat and egg. Calamansi black tea - yummy as well. Not too sweet. Tasted good with the empanada. I will definitely be coming back for the ilocos empanada. They make them daily and often replenished throughout the day (according to the employee). Parking here may be tight if coming durinf busy hours since it shares the spaces with titas kitchenette (also delicious) and island pacific market as well as other small businesses in the strip mall.
