I would order more than what you think, the rolls are on the smaller side, and they're so addictive, you'll definitely want more.

I first discovered Star bread when I lived in the Bay Area. I was hooked instantly. It's so good…read more A few years ago, I saw that location locations were opening in San Diego. I was excited that it would be much closer. The first location I went to was the Chula Vista location. It was good, but it wasn't exactly how I remembered it. Recently, I was in Poway and decided to try this other location. It's a very small storefront in a strip mall. When I walked in, there was no one at the counter. There was a woman waiting, and she said she had placed a big order and that the girl was getting it for her. I waited a bit before she came back. As I waited, other patrons came in. She returned with the other person's order and proceeded to take mine. I just ordered five. She promptly handed me my order and I was on my way. Of course, when I got to the car, I couldn't wait so I had to taste one or two. The flavor was good but the inside was very doughy. I don't remember them being that raw in the middle. Again the flavor was good and I'd would probably order a few again, but somehow they are a bit different from the original ones I had.

The crowd of people was what you would expect for 10 am on a Saturday but there was virtually no wait. Just enough time to thoroughly browse the menu, take in the beautiful display case of baked goods, and by the time you've decided what you're in the mood for, you're at the register. After placing our order we headed upstairs to find a table and no less than 10 minutes our food had arrived hot and fresh. I ordered the Short Rib Benedict which was heavenly and the Coconut Matcha Cloud with oatmilk and seriously one of the best matchas i've had in SD. Thank you to everyone at O'Briens for the wonderful experience and outstanding service!

I tried the Honey Dill Turkey on Dutch Crunch--the sandwich was huge (no shrinkflation it seems, despite the steep price), and the bread tasted amazing. Took half home for lunch the next day. The unique dill-turkey pairing was creative (big plus), but I'd try a different sandwich next time. The presentation was great and they brought the food to our upstairs table. It also came with a cucumber-heavy, Greek/Israeli-style side salad (or chips I believe).

One thing to note for those who optimize credit card rewards: they are coded as a "bakery" by VISA rather than a restaurant. This means some premium cards won't earn dining points here, which was a bit surprising. While I love the food, this might make me choose a different spot when splurging on breakfast. Still, highly recommend for the quality and service!

One of the things I love most is their frosting. It's light, creamy, and not overly sweet like a lot of other bakeries. It complements the cake perfectly instead of overpowering it. Every cake we've had has been fresh, delicious, and exactly what we've come to expect over the years.

Everything looked beautiful and was such a hit. I highly recommend booking with her, she is super talented, professional, and flexible. Her prices are more than fair and you can really count on the experience being something special. We only had a small wedding and we did two tastings because I wanted everything just right. She was so patient and guided us with recommendations. She even put together a fruit platter for us when I asked if that was something she could do. Her macarons are spot on and her donuts were such a crowd pleaser. Try her cornbread, it was perfectly moist and delicious! Can't go wrong booking with her and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future! **cake was done by another bakery

Jessica is the most professional down to earth woman, who I had the pleasure of getting to know over the last year. A wife and mother of two with the greatest story of how she got started - I will save this for you to ask about because it's one you won't forget. We found FCBC through our caterer and from first contact we knew that she would exceed our expectations. She helped us find our five flavors with several tastings (I happily ate every single macaroon!) that were delivered to our home. The toughest job was narrowing the flavors down to five, but thankfully we can reorder all the time! I wanted elegance, romance and an experience we and our guest would never forget. She completely crushed it, 500 macaroons which really meant 1,000 cookies, finding there match which was no easy task but she took it on with the most joyous attitude and shared little previews along the way. Jess was prompt for delivery (way out in Fallbrook) set up our display and coordinated with our planner and florist to make sure that our dessert table was stunning. The designs were impeccable; down to the speckles, gold leaf details and the colors. We even had the sweetest set of macaroons waiting on our sweetheart table waiting for us, decorated with "Bride & Groom" and that attention to detail did not go unnoticed. She packed us to go boxes which was so appreciated because as hosts of a wedding you sometimes miss the opportunity to raid the sweets table. Two days later the macaroons were still just as soft and delicious as the day of. We loved that our cake was also packed so that we could enjoy it or save it for next year! I found a friend, an extremely talented baker and a true creative genius along this wedding journey. I 100% recommend Flour Child Baking Company more for your special events as well as weekly sweet tooth cravings! Check out their IG @flourchildbakingcompany for more beautiful photos!

I gave her an idea of a two tier cake and pastel colors as need and shared the invite to see if she can make it like that. Anusha the owner was very forthcoming, easy to work with baker who really quickly jumped on to my order - provided an estimate and also gave us idea on single vs two tier. I felt 2 tier will be grand - so we went with a reasonable quote from her on it. Next day requested pickup time, things were ready. Top it off - it looks like the invite with even the peacock printed on the cake! This is what is above and beyond. What we asked was simpler two tier pastel colored cake. It had even a crown . I am thinking San Diego has an "is it cake" contender! Thank you Anusha for making this memorable for us!

If you have any questions about the new products they always do their best to help. This is one grocery store I feel like I leave in a better mood than when I came lol!
