My friend and I stopped by here on New year's to try their bread. It has honestly been a while…read moresince I have tried Starbread Bakery so I forgot what exactly was the kind of bread they sold. We got a five piece of the seniorita bread and it was hot and fresh! It's slightly buttery, but also has a sweet honey flavor. The seniorita bread reminds me of Filipino pan de sal. It is like none other, and I think that they are best eaten right away. I do want to come back to try their ube pandesal rolls. The service here was friendly, and there is plenty of parking in the lot. If you are in Poway, I recommend checking this spot out.

Service was fantastic and helpful. When I got the box into the car, the aroma of buttery sweetness permeated throughout the car. I couldn't help myself!!! The Senorita Bread was hot and buttery and sugary sweet and well balanced!!! My advice is to let the Senorita Bread cool down and exercise self-control. My burnt tongue still tasted the delicious Senorita Bread. Great location and plenty of parking. Nice to have in Poway!!!

Such a great find in Poway! This bakery is an absolute gem--everything was so clean, organized, and…read morebeautifully displayed, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they take pride in what they do, especially since all their breads and pastries are made in-house. We ordered the full stack (10/10)--it was incredibly fluffy, moist, and just perfect. Easily one of the best I've had. The Reuben was also delicious (8/10), with fresh, crispy bread that really brought everything together. Of course, we couldn't leave without grabbing a few pastries to go, and they did not disappoint! On top of the amazing food, the staff were all so kind and polite, which made the visit even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back!

The cashier and…read morethe staff member who brought out the food both seemed very overwhelmed, which affected the overall experience. Unfortunately, the butter served with my order was moldy. I returned it, and to his credit, the staff member who took it back was very kind and apologetic. That interaction made a difference and is the reason I'm not giving this place a one-star review. I hope management addresses both the quality control and staffing concerns, as this bakery has potential but needs more consistency.

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.

This is a smaller location with a condensed menu from the Sabre Springs location. So don't expect to find the pancakes on this menu or the large assortment of baked goods.

However, I don't like the "games" TJ usually plays regarding quantities of what's in stock and "seasonal" items. It creates an unhealthy scarcity mindset amongst the customers and people get catty. Mann the people going crazy over the Dubai chocolates, mini totes, and mini cooler was ugly. It usually isn't an issue for me as the stuff I buy aren't the "viral" items. My household likes that the veggies are usually fresh and the meat items are well priced. But this month, this TJ location has really been missing the mark. Almost EVERY egg carton has a cracked egg. The Roma tomatoes were all mushy. Coconut milk and coconut cream have not been in stock since before Christmas and the fulfillment date keeps getting pushed out (first 1/22, then today I was told 2/1). And it is not a seasonal item. This is just today's experience. I've noticed things like this happening all month. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't like going to more than one grocery store to get items I expected my grocery store to have or having to come back the next day. (Nor does anyone really have time for that.) It will only cause people like me to adjust to shopping elsewhere and/or decrease my overall spend at TJ's. Frustrating.
