First timer here!! Heard about this bakery and wanted to try it out and it was delicious!! I ordered their spanish rolls, kababayan, puto, and ube cheesecake along with some of their hot cocoa. Especially since i stopped by early in the morning when everything was fresh and hot out of the oven -- *chefs kiss*. The workers were also super nice, sweet, and patient because i had a big order as i was ordering for a lot of family and friends. They were very patient when the order would slightly change like for example, can i get a dozen instead of 3, sorry! I felt bad but i appreciated it. Definitely gonna stop by here again.:) read more

Bella's Bakery - MENU as of 3/2026 - Bakeries Near Me - Lathrop, California

This review is based solely on the ensaymada pastry. I bought a dozen for $7.99, which is a great price. The bread is very fluffy, soft, buttery, and nicely sweet, and the texture is really well done. The only thing that threw me off was the topping. I was expecting some kind of shredded cheese on top--possibly cheddar--to balance out the sweetness, but there wasn't any cheese. It ended up being more of a sugar-and-butter topping on very fluffy bread. Overall, it's still a good ensaymada and a solid value. Just a bit different from what I personally expected, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Bella's Bakery - ensaymada - Bakeries Near Me - Lathrop, California

Located in Northern California, Bella's Bakery is known for their Spanish bread! All their goods are freshly made in the morning and the lines are always worth it (luckily we never had issues with super long wait times). For the longest time, my family are loyal customers to this bakery! We love their service and always ensure we place large orders. Although this is not all we ordered within the picture, won't favorites have to be their kababayan and Spanish rolls! These are always made fresh and taste delicious. The ambiance of the place is very home style. I love the feeling of walking in and smelling the fresh bread! If you are in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by to try their delicious treats! read more

My family has been ordering from this place for literally years. I'm not sure how long they've been around but they are the first place that I actually remember my family getting pandesal and Spanish bread from. I'm not sure if their pandesal is unique or if it's just a regional thing, but to my memory I haven't seen a pandesal quite like theirs anywhere else. Theirs is noticeably smaller than most. The more important difference to me though is the texture. It's not as dense as many I've had; it's much lighter and airier. Another difference is the outer layer, it's slightly more resilient so it takes just a tiny bit more to bite through it at first (that's the best way I can explain it. As for the Spanish rolls, they are to this day still one of my favorite. It's basically an elongated roll with a sweet buttery interior. The texture overall is the same as the pandesal but a tad softer overall. I went for the first time myself and it's basically what you'd expect. It's a very small Filipino bakery with their counter stuffed with different breads. The woman working the counter was very pleasant as well. They also have a refrigerator section with some desserts like ube cheesecake. read more

I bought the Spanish rolls and Pandesal for the office and they were a hit! Would definitely buy a double order of the Spanish rolls. Everything was a great balance between sweet and yeasty and pairs well with any beverage. It's better when warm straight out of the bag, but they keep their flavor all day. read more

Best Pan de Sal in the area! I come here all the time when I make my way down from Sacramento. The bread is spongy and soft. It's so delicious when heated up. Bella's also has Spanish bread and kabanayan bread (muffins) which is also delicious. Nothing tops Bella's bakery - my family and friends love it so much and expect me to bring some when I head to Southern California. This bakery is great with phone orders as well. They also have an Ube cheesecake that is great. read more

A hidden gem! Their Spanish rolls are amazing. It's an absolute must to stop & pick up a bag or two for my time away in college. Everyone I've ever offered one to, loves them. The kababayan is sweet and tasty. A 10/10. read more

I love this place! Their pan de sals remind me of the ones you get from the street vendors in the Philippines. So soft and fluffy and tastes just like home. Their pan de sal never lasts at my house but if they aren't consumed right away I noticed the bread stays soft for several days. A very friendly staff who provide great service. I can't really speak to their ambiance as they're just a standard bakery but they definitely have plenty of different Filipino breads and pastries to choose from that are all so good! My other fave is their Spanish rolls! The only downside is if you aren't there early enough they tend to run out of products. read more

Haven't been yet and I know it won't be a disappointment ever. So I used to live in the Philippines back in 1977 I was 8yrs old, lived there for 6 1/2 years. There are some many treats I miss, I'm hoping to find here. Pandasol rolls read more

Omg! The bread here is amazing!!! The staff is super sweet and the bakery is super clean. The bread is always hot and fresh

Love the prices compared to Bay Area and also love the many selections of bread available was able to get all the bread we wanted to get before heading to my mom place read more

It feels like Starbread will forever reign supreme when it comes to Spanish/señorita bread; haven't found a local bakery that can top that franchise. Not a fan of the butter-sugar filling in the Spanish/señorita bread here as it's spread unevenly and is quite clumpy even after warming the bread in the microwave. The pan de sal here, however, is worth a try! Super soft and bouncy. Also even has almost a milky edge to it as well. Reminds me a lot of Japanese milk bread. Recommend getting more than needed; very easy to eat three in a row without really thinking about it (.....personal experience). Cappuccino mocha tastes pretty instant-y, but, hey, for $1.50 to wake me up in a pinch I'll take it lol. Friendly Filipino aunties here. Small storefront but you're at the correct place if you pull into a Mobil gas station (shop is right next to it). read more

Every time I take a bite out of their breads IT ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF HOME!!!! It's to the point that my family from Milpitas begs me to bring this every time we go there! Or when they come to visit I have to have their breads ready for my family to take home! read more

Bella's is a popular bakery of Filipino breads - so popular they sell out of pan de sal before 9:30 on a Sunday. I grabbed a few bags (10 pack), with only 2 remaining. I was curious about the other items. On my way out, I was offered the "cornbread muffin" straight out of the oven, piping hot. I bought 6 on the spot. Yum! Puto is also good. read more

Found this place about 2 years ago. Lovely little gem in Lathrop. I always get their pan de sal, and Spanish rolls. They also have ensamada on the weekends. It's light , airy and never too sweet. Always fresh. read more

Best Pan De Sal in all of California and possibly beyond. I bought 50 bags of pan de sal, 20 bags of spanish bread, and whatever they had left of the kabayan muffins to bring to LA for the holidays with my in laws. They all loved it and said it was the best they had! I was going to pick some up on the way back for my family in Sac, but sadly they were closed for their holiday after the holidays. My parents were so sad, but it's honestly worth the hour drive to Lathrop. read more

This is our go-to whenever we crave for some pandesal and starbread. This place is located right next door to Blessed Kitchen. We usually order some kababayan, pandesal and starbread. For pandesal they ask if you want a warm batch. The starbread is my favorite here. read more

Great price. Amazing bread. Never a disappointment. Definitely the best within the area

For fresh baked filipino breads, this is my go to spot. This is the only place where I can get my kababayan bread. This buttery, moist and sweet bread was my childhood. They also offer Spanish breads, pan desal, ube breads, and pies. Come in early as they open to get their breads freshly baked and still warm. They are helpful and friendly if you are not familiar with filipino breads and have questions about it. It's a small family owned place located in a small shopping strip by the corner gas station. read more

Bella's bakery has been our go to for our Filipino baked goods always fresh you have to get there early because they run out fast..

Fresh hot bread! Located on the corner of Lathrop & S Harlan right off of I-5 in the small strip off shops next to mobile gas. Drove up and knew I found the right place because the parking lot felt like I was back in Daly City! It was busy with Filipino's with bags of bread and to go food from Blessed Kitchen next door. Got an order of hot Spanish rolls which was more similar to pan de sal than the sweet buttery Senorita bread I'm used to getting. The Kababayan are small sweet corn muffins that are good but I probably wouldn't order again because I prefer savory cornbread to sweet. Biko was fresh and the perfect amount of sweetness. Was out the door in less than 5-min and under $20 read more

Always a great treat! The Spanish rolls were a hit like always. Jump off of i5, stop in and get this then get back on the road. Delicious. This business has been here forever. read more

They always have fresh pandesal every morning and other filipino baked goodies. My mom used to go a lot especially after her night shift because they tend to not have much options in the afternoon, but she's day shift now so it's been harder to come early. Fortunately (well more like unfortunate for me) I couldn't sleep because insomnia due to pregnancy, I was craving the ensemada so I checked the time and woke my husband to take me. It's 15 mins away from me but worth the drive every time. I love love their ensemada, kababayan and pandesal. But my family also loves their spanish rolls. So had to buy extra goodies for my nephews and niece. There wasn't a line when I got there at 5:40AM today but definitely saw people coming after I got my order. FYI: ensemada is only on Sat and Sun! Also you can call ahead if you want so they can prepare your order as they tend to have long line in the morning! read more

Spanish Bread is absolutely yummy and the kababayan mamon as well but what I totally not recommend to buy is the ube cake coz it's just a colored ube but the essence and taste of the ube was not there even a lil you can't tell it's ube I suggest make a real ube cheesecake cake not just colored or yet balance the taste of the ube and cheese cake . read more
