Very cute and festive inside. They only had a few options for their slices, which was unfortunate…read more We ended up getting the Chocobombon and the Chococream. 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.

While I wasn't the biggest fan of that day's flavors, I still really enjoyed it and loved the texture. Another big favorite was the Lemon Blueberry King Cream Donut. I don't normally like cream filled donuts, but this one was heavenly! Very tasty and not overly sweet. Would definitely come again if I'm in the area.

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!

You know it's great bread when you bring a box to work and everyone runs to you for a piece of a señorita bread. The warm, sweet and yet salty bread tastes like a cloud in every bite. It's soft, buttery and seriously hard to stop at just one. The location is small, but they offer many pastries. My favorite is the señorita bread but every now and then I'll grab the guava pastry when I want something a little different. You really can't go wrong with their pastries.

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.

A family favorite for over 20 years. We have been going here…read moresince I was in high school. Someone had once asked me if this was a Filipino bakery because every single time she went to a Filipino party, she always saw a strudel and treats from here. I told her it wasn't, however us Filipinos love exposing each other to great eats and end up using those same establishments for our events by word of mouth. Ambiance is cool because they had extended the bakery and have multiple people ready to help you. There is a number system in place to Keep it as organized as possible. You won't be bored because the selection is so much and there is something for everyone. Prices are honestly great here honestly for being a rich part of town. You have to get a strudel for your event, it is a must. There are smaller versions of it, just in case you don't feel like committing to a whole big one. The tres leches with fruit on top is some of the finest tres leches I've had north of the border. For myself I love the strawberry fresh fruit croissant, chocolate with cream croissant, and whatever else I'd be in the mood for that day. My mom loves the Bavarian pocket with Bavarian cream and an apple filling. This place is a Chula Vista staple and super crowded during holidays, with lines going on forever. So make sure to reserve your order online during the holidays!

The espresso shots did not come thru. There was no roasty flavor or depth. The croissants breakfast sando was dense. It felt like eating days old bread. The matcha was weak. Again the matcha did not come thru. The best out of the order was the strudel. There is an outdoor seating area that looks cute. The shop itself is super small where you just go in to order.

The ambiance is great because it has a fair amount of seating, but it gets taken up quickly. Lots of people here to study, work, or go on dates. Service is cool and hospitable and if they've ever made a mistake, they were nice about fixing it. Everything there is worth trying. We have gone overboard most times and got most things there.. We usually make sure to get the egg sando and my brother loves the dark curry rice which we recommend highly for both!

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.

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.
