Seniorita bread
Tiffany T.

I've had Starbread before in my hometown and was super excited to introduce my friends to it when we saw a spot in Pacifica. Came around 5:45pm on a Saturday and it was pretty empty as expected. There weren't many pastries left (which is expected since this place is super yummy and we can late in the day). With that said, we ordered our 5pc of seniorita bread and it came out piping hot within a few minutes. This spot doesn't have any seating so it's just grab and go. We ate our bread in the car and finished within 5 minutes. I will note that I think the batch I got was a bit on the soggy side and didn't really hold its shape. Didn't impact taste, but I do wish it was a bit more "sturdy". Will come again when I'm in the area!

SO ADDICTING

My coworker brought these into the office and they're so good! I'm not sure what it is but I downed 3 of them before I realized

Always a yummy soft treat when visiting Pacifica. Used to have better deals with the more you buy, but now it's all the same. Never tried anything else there except for the starbread, so hope they can stay in business just selling those.

Fluffy sweet buttery bread Authentic unenthusiastic customer service Reasonable prices for high quality items A flavorful bread that will keep you coming back!

Starbread's señorita bread is always amazing. Hot and fresh, buttery sweet gooey soft. Get a bigger box than you think because they go down fast, and then sit there like a fat warm lump of sticky regret in your carb coma after. I like showing up at potlucks and parties with a box - it'll be the first to go, especially because it's so good warm. This is a convenient location when going to the beach! Grab some coffee from starbucks and a box of starbread, and go enjoy the breezy Pacifica/HMB sand. They also sell various filipino snacks and desserts here. I tried the empanadas. The chicken/pork/beef seemed to have a similar savory seasoning and bits of carrot/corn/peas, and the ground meat. They were good, BUT they were insanely salty the day I tried them (all 3 fillings). Hoping it was just an off day because the flavors were good otherwise. The señorita bread takes a few minutes but it's totally worth the wait when they hand you that heavy warm box. Remember that the oily sugary filling seeps out a bit, so put your cardboard box in a bag or under something washable, rather than directly on the floor of your car or on the seat.

One of our favorite cheap eats - Starbread's Seniorita bread! There's really nothing like it - it's a simple little roll that's buttery and lightly sweetened. They're always fresh when I order them and they should be enjoyed right when you get them! The shop itself is small and organized, they had plenty of other traditional filipino sweets like pastilla de leche, malasadas, ube hopia, they even sell lumpia. But if you're only getting a few things to try - make sure you at least get a box of their seniorita bread as that's their specialty, and for good reason!

Been a fan for a long time. Still a fan! Those senorita breads are honestly a staple. Whether you come to buy them for potluck, treat, or just for your own pleasure, you know it's good for all occasion! Once you order they come out in literally two minutes and they come out hot! I ordered 30 pieces for $18, which is not a bad deal at all comparing to other places. Love that they still have other locations still open. Definitely try any of these locations you have not yet !

The Senorita Bread!
Elisa H.

10 years ago my youngest son played on a travel baseball team with a boy who lived near a Starbread Bakery. When we had early morning games, the boy's family would bring Seniorita Bread from Starbread. It was an amazing Summer. We won multiple championship trophies had the most Incredible coaches epic team swimming parties and our families bonded well, watching our kids thrive, doing what they loved the most. It still would have been a great Summer without the Senorita bread, but like the Carly Rae Jepsun song, "Call Me Maybe" these rbings take me back to the Halcyon Summer of 2012. Today I took my oldest son to the beach in Pacifica and we were both starving! In a fortuitous twist of fate, I looked up to see the Starbread sign. Could it be? It was the Senorita Bread Mecca! ..., or at least one of tge Starbread Bakeries... and they had a full menu of sweet and savory pastries and Alex's favorite food, lumpia. Alex was a little agitated and antsy, grabbing at a cardboard flower that was sticking out of a plant and ripped it up... The sweet girl behind the counter gave us such great service and when I commented on Alex's cut of his tbumb, she sweetly included two band aids with our order. This was patient and spectacular customer service! Our order was as follows: , five lumpia, 20 Seniorita Bread, a chicken and a beef empensda and a ham and cheese pastry. I got one bite of the chicken empenada, one lumpia and four glorious pillowy, yeasty, sweet and buttery Senioritas. Everything was fantastic, but Starbread is all about the Senorita Bread,. Alex was sooo happy and we drove him back home witb Seniorita Bread for his friends. They taste just as delicious without the championship baseball season. Sometimes, a smell or a song, or a taste can take you back. It turns out, sometimes, you can go home again. Go get yourself some Seniorita Bread, more than you tbink you and your group need, and create an amazing Summer memory for yourself!

40pcs of señorita bread
Brittany C.

Came about 25 minutes before closing and got lucky to still be able to get 40pcs of the senorita bread. Fresh out the oven is the best! We also got some pork and chicken lumpia. Very bland to me but drown it in sauce and it's good! Two people working and they had good customer service.

Starbread from King Drive location. Thumbs down.

Their baguettes were great and their Irish Soda Bread was surprisingly delicious! I saw this place pop up on Check Please Bay Area and decided to give this place a shot while I was around in the Pacifica Area. I was genuinely surprised it was located in an old outlet/plaza and felt slightly out of place vs all the other older shops but after stopping by here, I can definitely say it was like a gem in the rough that was well worth the visit. The wait time here was a bit long at around 10 in the morning but oddly the line died down quite quickly at around 11 onwards, so it seems like the wait time can fluctuate throughout the day. Decided to order a few sweet pastries, pizza, and baguettes and after trying a bit of each one, they were all great in quality and freshly made. It was also my first time trying an Irish Soda bread and I have to say it was like a very dense pound cake with dried fruit inside and thoroughly enjoyed it! All the staff here were very friendly and felt very welcoming to enjoy a brief stay here for my baked goods and coffee (coffee was also great quality too). If I'm ever back in Pacifica for whatever reason, I can definitely see myself making a bit of a drive to stop by here for more. Check Please Bay Area wasn't wrong and I'll also give my recommendation as well for others to give this place a shot too.

One, the customer in front of us took a long time deciding what to order and we missed the weekend brunch menu by 8 minutes. Two, the cashier gave us the wrong number card so the staff couldn't find us to deliver our food. And three, though this was a cafe style place, customer service was subpar. We decided to give it another try because there must be a reason why this place was always busy. Came a bit early this time. The line was long but was moving fairly fast. There is QR code for the menu so I'd say check it out while you wait in line for at least 20 minutes! It will help to expedite your ordering process once you get to the cashier. There's a good amount of seatings both indoors and outdoors. A good spot to leisurely enjoy your meal if you're not pressed for time. I have had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was very good. This time around had the Cubano (their specialty latte) which was smooth, balanced, and so good! I was able to order the Irish breakfast this time that was only offered on their weekend brunch menu and only until 2pm. We waited a while for our food. And when we finally did, it was not even warm. This was a bit disappointing! The saving grace were the roasted potatoes and sautéed mushrooms that came with my breakfast dish. They were very good. The side salad that accompanied the Lorraine quiche was also very good. I would come back to this cafe definitely for the Cubano, the Ube cream puff, and maybe try some other pastries. As for the breakfast... 67

Oh em gee. I was able to try them at a closer location, thanks to the San Mateo County inviting…read morethem to have a pop-up at Sawyer Camp. I wanted everything on their menu, but only allowed a sausage roll and a minced beef pie. They had other savory pies like chicken pot pie, mushroom and Swiss, and breakfast pies. You honestly can't go wrong with any of them. If they happened to have the sausage rolls, get them. But if I'm in line behind you and you take the last sausage roll, I will fight you for it. The spicy one was to die for. It's not too spicy, it's like those spicy Italian sausage. Very flaky, not too heavy, but they don't skimp out on the meat, so you will be full. I absolutely loved the fennel seeds in the sausage! I just don't know how to be full, so i tried their pie too. While the minced beef pie was good, it wasn't as great as the sausage roll. This is a piece I am willing to trek all the way down the 1 for.

Limited selection close to opening on a Sunday, which feels odd considering you would expect that to be a busier day/time for them, but the west coast, and a small coastal town specifically, moves slow. Overall, when there is a good selection of sweets, savories, and sausage roll, this is an awesome spot. Coffee is ok, depends on the barista that day. They have acai as an option as well if pie isn't your thing, the granola tastes homemade. View and vibe inside can't be beat.

It's a cozy little spot with beautiful artwork of the coast painted by Pam Anderberg around the place. It has a beautiful natural lighting via the sky light & the outside bike parking area is nice! They always have water for the refills when I would swing by here on bicycle rides. Sometimes parking is tight, as in not a lot of availablilty of spots. But even then it's worth the short walk.

Without hesitation, he remade it right away and even offered me the first one for free, which I thought was really kind and showed great customer service. The matcha itself was decent but it wasn't nothing mind blowing but definitely good enough to enjoy and sip on. It had a nice balance and wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. What really stood out more than anything was the service. The guy was friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive, which made the experience better overall. If you're looking for a quick matcha fix in a convenient location with solid service, this is a good spot to check out!

Walked in Saturday morning and it was empty except for a couple waiting for their drinks. While waiting to order (since the staff was busy preparing drinks), another customer walked in and asked if the falafel bagel was available which the staff said yes to. The customer then patiently waited behind us. We were told to wait since they would be done with the drinks soon. A few minutes later, another staff member asked the other customer what he wanted in his falafel bagel and proceeded to make it. We said that we hadn't placed our order yet and the staff making the drinks said "It takes longer to make and he's a regular customer." Oh. That's how it is here. After we finally ordered and got our bagels (since we wanted to still enjoy our breakfast), we were again disappointed. The everything bagel was flat, small and kind of doughy. (Perhaps not fully cooked?) The egg and cheese with cream cheese was added sloppily. Disappointing since we have just moved here and want to support small businesses. We'll just have to take our business elsewhere.
