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.

I was browsing for a while until I finally came across these guys on Facebook! I'm so happy they came up on my feed. Booking them was easy, everything that was included was explained to me. It was easy to give them my date and time needed. Day of the event, they arrived at perfect timing when we were cutting the cake. They found the place just fine. The churros were being fried fresh for my hungry guests to consume. Now I've had my fair share of churros and I gotta say, these were the best I've ever had. Hot, fresh and not keto friendly. Worth every calorie. The guys making them told me to try one with a scoop of ice cream and this bomb homemade strawberry sauce they bring. Life changing!!! All the guests at my party said this was the coolest and best thing ever. Honestly, you're not gonna find better than these guys. Churrolicious is amazing and sure to make your event 10x better. Thanks guys!!! Can't wait to book you for future events.

Mad For Cheesecake isn't just about their famous cheesecakes; it's a treasure trove of sweet…read moretreats. My recent visit to the National City, Plaza blvd location was such a treat and I was absolutely *mad* for everything I tried. lol! So I had the Tiger Boba Latte --also known as the "Brown Sugar Boba Latte"--and it was so good. The brown sugar syrup brought the perfect depth of sweetness, not overpowering but just enough to make each sip rich and satisfying. The boba pearls were the highlight, absolutely *perfect*. Unlike the often hard, chewy boba you might find at other places, these were fresh, warm, and soft, bursting with flavor. They had that wonderful melt-in-your-mouth quality that makes you keep reaching for more. This drink alone is worth the visit. If you love boba, you know that the quality and freshness of these sweet tapioca pearls is everything. *chef's kiss* And speaking of must-try items, the Ahboong (the Korean fish-shaped pastry) is something you have to try. We always get at least two during our visits, and for good reason. The soft, golden pastry is filled with the most indulgent, smooth filling. It's the perfect sweet bite. If you've been to Somi-somi, these are similar, if not better. But the true crowd pleaser is the Nutella Taiyaki. If you're a fan of Nutella, this is the one to get. The taiyaki (the fish-shaped waffle cone) is warm, golden, and crispy on the outside, while the Nutella filling inside is hot, rich, and gooey--melting with every bite. It's a little messy but totally worth it. Ok, it can get really messy if you're excited to eat it like I was lol. So make sure you grab enough napkins. You can also get them filled with different flavors, like custard, but come on, you know Nutella is where it's at! All in all, Mad For Cheesecake has something for every sweet tooth, from its drink offerings to pastries. It's not just about cheesecakes (though those are probably excellent too, I'm gonna try it next time!), but the whole experience is what keeps me coming back. Highly recommend visiting for a sweet, satisfying experience you'll want to repeat again and again.

Great Filipino bakery!…read more Staff is really welcoming whenever we visit, the space is clean, baked goods are always tasty, and the señorita bread always comes out fresh and warm! There's often a line, but the wait is well worth it! You seriously cannot go wrong with anything you order, but a box of señorita bread is truly the way to go. Cannot recommend this spot enough, and cannot wait for my next visit!

Product itself: I ordered a 15 count of their classic breads. They came fresh and hot as always!…read more Customer service: I didn't catch the name of the girl who helped me, but she was polite and nice. Just took my order very professionally and that was basically my whole interaction with her, but everytime I have come before it is always professional! Value: For $12 +tip you get 15 breads which in my opinion is an extremely good value. Their donuts are only $2.50 and for specialty products these prices are unheard of these days. Atmosphere: It is not a sit down location, it is meant for to go orders only, but the atmosphere is always very clean and the display of the beautiful donuts is so cute. Overall experience: I love starbread. Ever since I discovered them two years ago it has become one of my go-to's for get togethers because the quality is always top tier and the original breads are something that everyone likes. No matter how picky ! 10/10 from me!

The icing was better on the chococream, but the cake was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor to it. On the other hand, the cake part on the chocobombon was moist and the cherry gave a nice flavor, but the icing was way too sweet. Pretty pricey for less than average cakes. I wouldn't recommend coming here.

They have a big variety of cakes all ready to go in their cake display. I chose the chocobombon since they didn't have any all vanilla cakes and this one had some vanilla in it and my husbands favorite is vanilla. I really liked that they had candles and cake decorations as well in the store and I bought a few Birthday embellishments which were all $1 each, great price! The staff was nice but not too friendly when I was trying to find out more about the cakes and flavors, I had to read the labels since she didn't provide me any details. The cake was just okay, it was very dense and a bit dry. The marshmallow frosting was a little thick and the overall flavors were definitely different but not sure I would get this flavor again. I would like to try a few more flavors and maybe a tres leches cake to see how those are. It is located in Chula Vista in a small shopping center, limited parking available.

I came here especially to get an Ube cake; I wasn't sure which one yet and they had a few different ones. There was an Ube flan cake, an Ube cheesecake and an Ube Yema cake. Not knowing what a Yema cake was, I asked them how it compared to the other 2 cakes and he told me that Yema cake has condensed milk and I was sold! The ube yema cake turned out to be amazing! It was moist, full of ube flavor and definitely not one to keep around if you have weak self-control like I do. Now I want to go back there to try the other Filipino snacks that I didn't get to buy the first time.

I loved that they had a pre-made sandos ready to grab and go, so we each grabbed our own boxes and a matcha. The box I had, included a shrimp sando, egg salad sando and a mango cream sando. I also ordered a large corn matcha, I am really into corn matchas. They also had, pork and chicken as an option for protein, an all fruit box and poke. They have hot food too, we'll definitely have to come back to try it. The shrimp sando was so good, super flavorful and whatever sauce they use I ended up using as a little dip for my egg sandwich. The fruit was really fresh, my mango still had a really good bite to it and it wasn't too sweet at all. My matcha, was delicious, I opted for the large because I was acting as tour guide. The matcha had good flavoring and the corn was not at all overpowering, perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be craving that matcha and whenever I'm in National city I'll definitely have to check them out. The service here was super friendly and the the restaurant was really inviting, would definitely recommend!
