Okay so I'm Filipina, which means I grew up eating classic Filipino bread and pastries my whole life so trust me when I say I know good from great. This place is consistently good every single time I come. My go tos are the bonnete rolls, bitso bitso, and the pork buns. They just hit different, soft, fresh, tastes like home. Never disappointed. If you're craving that authentic Filipino bakery taste, come here. read more

Another first for me. This place is a Filipino Bakery. As soon as you walk in you get this aroma of freshly baked bread. Smells so delicious. I'm very familiar with all the pastries they sell so i automatically think they're good. I bought some ensaymada (cheese and Ube flavor), adobo pandesal and Turon (my favorite dessert). So my assumption of it being good is 100 true. I loved everything I bought especially the ensaymada. It was moist and sweet. The Turon was nice and crispy. The service was good. I love when they speak to me in our Filipino language. It makes the place more authentic. I'll come back here again. I recommend this place for dessert and more 100%. read more

Small little Filipino bakery. I come here all the time to get my chicken empanada fix. They are even kind enough to warm them up for me when I ask. Everything is super yummy from the pan de sal to the Turon and karioka . You really can't go wrong with anything. I do recommend taking cash as there is a minimum if you choose to use card. read more

We stumbled upon this wonderful bakery in Vallejo about a year ago and I still can't stop thinking about their delicious pork buns! Sometimes the craving is so strong we have to cross the bridge just to satisfy it. We tried a few of their other items and there are several more we intend to try as well, but the them pork buns? Snacky snack snack! And with a little sambal? Heaven. read more

My sister in law introduced this bakery to me. She brought some Ube ensemada to a Labor Day party and we were all hooked. Since we were in the neighborhood I decided to stop by. It is right next to Pacific Island Supermarket and a very small bakery. But it is a hidden gem. It is packed with so many yummy baked goods and different types of Filipino breads. I bought Ube pandesal, Karaoki balls, and Ube Ensemadas. Everything tasted so fresh, even after a few days in the fridge. I highly recommend this Filipino bakery. My favorite thing was the ensemada because the dough was so soft, the ube was tasty (sweet but not too sweet), and the whipped sugar butter melts in your mouth. read more

I love this bakery. I got some Turon which is my favorite and beef and chicken empanadas and they are amazing and so fresh! The service is also amazing. I can't recommend it enough for great Filipino desserts and yummy empanadas. read more

I have only tried their empanadas both chicken and beef so that is all I can review. We had a big order for our real estate office client event. Delicious! Fresh! On time! They were the hit of the party ! Definitely will order again. read more

Bulacan Bakery is a very decent Filipino bread and dessert shop. It's a small bakery but with plenty of freshly baked goods. My favorite is their bitso bitso because it is only $1.75 a piece and it's huge! It's like a beignet but the dough is flavored with margarine (?) and sprinkled with sugar. I also always buy their ube or cheese breads, and they actually last me a while without expiring or tasting stale. What I really appreciate is the unique flavors of baked goods they offer. For example, they have a variety of strudels (mango, pineapple, guava, cream cheese) and literally almost all of the common and popular Filipino desserts (karioka, bibingka, turon, and many more). I'm quite disappointed with some of the negative reviews here regarding their customer service. I am not a frequent customer here (maybe only once a year visit) nor do I speak Tagalog to them, so I'm literally always a new customer to them, but I've always had a pleasant experience. There is no indoor seating, so I don't really understand the high-quality customer service experience that reviewers are expecting from this bakery. read more

Love the Karioka! The best I've had. It's fresh and not chewy/dry like other places. Definitely recommend!

If you're in the mood for some Filipino baked goods, this is a great spot to pop into. It's in an old shopping center, which houses a Filipino super market (Island Pacific), and a bunch of small restaurants up and down the strip. I like their empanadas, cream cheese rolls, and cream cheese bread. Okay, I'm just a sucker for cream cheese. Their turon and karioka are good too, but the turon tends to sell out early. The karioka are huge and they have a great chew on the inside, with a sweet crisp glaze on the outside. The sweet cream cheese rolls in the glass case have a similar look to the ones at Portos except the outside has a glaze instead of sugar. They're chewy if you try to eat them room temp/cold so make sure you throw them into the air fryer to crisp up for optimal taste. They're good but sometimes the glaze is way too thick, even warmed they're chewy and overly sweet. It's hit or miss! They offer a few different flavors but I haven't tried them yet. The cream cheese bread is sooooo soft and fluffy and super filled with cream cheese. These taste like stuffed Hawaiian rolls and are so delicious with a little smear of strawberry jelly. Even without the jelly, these rolls are perfect with a short trip to the microwave or air fryer. Even warmed, the cream cheese is melty but still holds its shape without getting all over the place. These are on the wire racks along the well, and they come in a few diff flavors like pimento cheese or ube. You get 9 pieces for $6 and some change. If you want something savory, definitely give their empanadas a try. They have chicken or beef options and cost about $3 each. They're pretty chunky so I think they're worth the cost. The crust is buttery and flakey, and so good once warmed in the air fryer. They're nicely filled but the flavor is pretty light. The chicken is shredded and you get a good mix of veggies inside - mushrooms, carrots, onions. It's a little sweet though. The beef is ground and you get a similar mix of veggies, except no mushrooms but they add raisins. I take the raisins out though, not a fan. If they made a spicy option, I'd be all over that. I wouldn't go as far to say this is my favorite Filipino bakery, as they keep a small selection of baked goods only, however they're a good option if I need a quick fix. If there's any thing to take away here, I'd say it should be get an air fryer if you don't already have one so you can warm up all your goodies! read more

A greeting, or a smile maybe? How about eye contact? Nothing. I even bought four items and the lady didn't even ask me if I wanted a bag. I'm not one to complain or write bad reviews, but sheesh! She just told me how much, took my money, and just stood there waiting for me to leave. I was the only customer in the bakery at the time, and this was my experience. Bulacan Bakery is a grungy, hole-in-the-wall Filipino bakery in East Vallejo. I don't come here often. But when I do, I buy their pork buns (siopao), pandesal, and my grandson loves their bitso bitso. Ube Crinkles and Turon are good. Overall, a decent bakery, but nothing over the top that keeps me coming back often. And customer service needs improvement. read more

Just walked in to see their choices of baked goods. My daughter in law wanted Sapin sapin ... a multi colored sticky rice cake dessert. The store doesn't have a lot of Filipino delicacy displayed , so i asked the lady at the register if they have what I was looking for. Without even making eye contact she said "Wala" !!! It means none! So we left . read more

Bulacan Bakery - Pork bun with bones inside. Be careful when eating!!!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Vallejo, California

This bakery in my opinion is the best bakery in town. All their products are quality and amazing . They raised their prices through the years but the quality stayed, This year things changed. Their products is still affordable but the quality is going down. I used to love their Empanadas . It's quality,healthy, very tasty and worth buying . Today they make the Empanadas with so much dough and hardly no filling on them. Very disgusting and unhealthy looking. read more

Filipino Bakery in da hood of Vallejo. Very authentic, if not a tad divey. Very similar to a Luisa and Sons or a Red Ribbon, but no where as market savvy as those. Things are kinda not labeled and not really presented in a way, that looks enticing to outsiders. But to an old-world grandma (Lola) who pays mostly in coins, this is home to them. Passing thru town, and decided to grab a couple of things to take home. Beef Empanadas ($3-4ish/2.5*) The beef filling was pretty good, with the peas, if not a tad rich. These are triple the size of Luisa & Sons, which to me, is not really a good thing. The pastry was tasty but no where as supple as L & S. The pastry surrounding the filling was totally fine. But the crust on the edges, was just too much blank space, and more dry and crumbly. Turon (a buck fifty-ish each/2.5*) Nice sized and really good filling with the banana and jack fruit combo. But the glaze on the outside was way over done and very cloyingly sweet. If they knocked that glaze by half, this would be awesome. I got diabetes just by looking at it. But still glad I tried them, as I'm always looking for good versions on the above mentioned. Just happened to miss today, no big. They did have a Bibinka that looked pretty good, baked in the banana leaf for authentic measure. So a return is possible. A crack in the door is better than being slammed shut. read more

I've been going to this bakery for years only because the other option is all the way across town. A few days ago, I came here for some Siopao. Was hard as a rock! I even wrapped it in a wet paper towel before heating it, & that didn't even help. What a waste of about $12 & my time going there, I had to trash it. They don't have a 'made on' or 'best by' date on the packaging. Another story (not recent, a couple years ago, in which I should not have returned): I asked the person working if there was any hot pan de sal & she told me "no", one second later a woman walks in & asks in Tagalog if there was hot pan de sal, & she said "yes". I don't look like I am, but I'm half Filipina & I know Tagalog. I gave her a stank ass stare which made her realize what she did there, so she asks me if I would like some too. I did get the hot pan de sal, but, I still have to give them a 1 star based on the unfair customer service & quality of the Siopao. read more

Their baked goods are some of the best. Unfortunately, their pricing have gone through the roof. Yes, every business has gone up, but a little too much. I usually come once a week Friday to pick some goodies for the Tai Chi group I'm in. It can be Turon,Empanada,ube crinkles, Danish Mango or Pineapple. Example...the 1/8 sheet of bibingkang $19.50 the 4pk ube crinkles are $7.40?+-. I'll have to cut it to maybe once a month. I hope they survive. read more

The one and only of its kind - why can't they branch out & be the fiercest rival of the one that starts with a V?! Haha. I've heard of this bakery from looking at the clear bags of fresh pan de sals at my homie's parents' house in Oakley back in the day - and thought to myself, there's such a place named Bulacan Bakery?! Whoa.... (growing up in the Philippines, I've always known that Bulacan is a province north of Metro Manila that's well known for fresh baked pastries, native delicacies, and sweets!) - and I never really followed up to it, since it said on the bag's label that they're in Vallejo. I also didn't think that it would be a physical bakery - but rather, a food distributor to Filipino and Asian markets around the Bay Area - in addition, to assumming that my friend's parents had picked them up from the Island Pacific market in nearby Pittsburg! LOL. (actually, I stumbled across a 'CLOSED' establishment of the latter in Pittsburg, right across from FoodsCo off Harbor Street! - I wonder why it closed... hmm?!) Fast forward to 2020 - my folks & I had just finished a scrumptious brunch in Downtown Martinez & happened to cross the Benicia Bridge into Vallejo - and voila! Searched up Bulacan Bakery, and it IS indeed a brick-and-mortar, physical establishment - and a perfect location it's situated next to - Island Pacific in Vallejo! It's within a strip plaza called Springstowne Center - tons of parking & several businesses call this place home, making it a convenient one-stop shop for whatever grocery or essential needs you might need. Besides the Filipino grocery, there's a 99 Cents Only store, Bank of America, several restaurants & service-oriented businesses that call this strip mall its home. This bakery sits on the corner of the center's main anchor, Island Pacific Supermarket, on the right side, as you face the main entrance. It's your typical Filipino bakery with the usual staples, such as pan de sal, empanadas, turon (banana fritters), puto (steamed rice cakes), bibingka (baked rice cake made with glutinous rice), ensaymada (soft & sweet dough pastry topped with sugar & cheese), etc. - just to name a few! They also offer savory items - such as siopao (steamed buns) & desserts, such as kutsinta, leche flan, etc. They are also well known for their version of Ube Pan De Sal - it's not too purple, and the texture is soft & chewy on the inside! At first bite, it is a definitely better alternative to the well-known chain's version of their Ube Pan De Sal!! (try it for yourselves, ya'll) - it is an out-of-this-world taste! Highly recommend to check this place out - it's the only & only in the entire Bay Area, as there are no other locations, sadly. It's a hole in a wall that's a hidden gem in lieu of the other Filipino bakeries and food establishments in Vallejo! Definitely a diamond in the rough, and don't say the area is sketchy - the area is just an older neighborhood! Right off I-80 and take the Springs Road exit, towards the east - exactly 10 blocks down, and you'll arrive to the fragrant aroma of fresh-baked pan de sal! Don't say I didn't warn ya! read more

Was in the neighborhood visiting family. I was sent here to do a dessert pickup run for my family. Of course, I didn't know what exactly to look for so the kind lady working here helped me choose the best Filipino desserts. Unfortunately I was late coming here in the afternoon so they ran out of the good stuff. I'll make sure to come here earlier in the day if I'm in the neighborhood read more

I have no experience with Filipino bakeries but I know good food when I taste it. They make "the best" tender crusted chicken empanadas. Filled into every curve are moist shredded chicken & vegetables. The seasonings only heighten their natural flavors. It's a subtle Perfection! Turon is delicious and flaky If you like boiled peanuts, you should give these a try. You can thank me later. Yes, it's way out in Vallejo but worth the drive. read more

I'm not from the 707 so I just Yelped a place to buy desserts. Their Kuchinta tasted like bleach! Never again!

I come here for some guilty pleasures: cheese ensaimada, ube ensaimada, and hopia. The ensaimadas are not the high end type with queso de bola that you will find in the best bake shops in Manila. The Bulacan bakery style is like the usual panaderia taste and texture but very much improved. The hopia is not that special in taste but it's to my taste. I like it, read more

I was craving pandesal and that is how I ended up here. I had been here once before on a pretty rainy day so I completely forgot about that visit. On a more recent visit, I got pandesals, Turin's, Beef empanada and pastellias. All were very delicious and would have me returning here should I crave any of the above. This bakery is located in the island pacific supermarket plaza. read more

So good! Came here to buy some things for my family & was excited to find so many of my favorite items. Ordered suman, bibingka, beef & chicken empanadas, turon & pandesal. Everything was delicious! I ordered empanadas from this bakery & the restaurant next door to find that these empanadas are much better. More flavorful & not dry like the restaurants. I loved the suman and the turon. I wasn't huge on the pandesal which was dry to me but maybe with butter or cheese they'd be better. Service was efficient & food was good. Would recommend this place over all & will definitely come back. read more
