    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.

    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.

It has the kind of warmth and character that only a truly independent, family-run bakery can offer.

Each one has that unmistakably homemade look to it -- slightly unique in its own way, which only adds to the charm. No two are exactly alike, and that's exactly the point. Be warned though -- these cakes are popular for good reason, and they sell out quickly. We've learned to order ahead to avoid disappointment, and we'd strongly recommend doing the same. It's the kind of place that reminds you of the joy of supporting a local business that genuinely takes pride in what they make. A wonderful neighbourhood bakery that deserves all the love it gets.

The biggest selling point is definitely the location. It is right by the beach in Pacifica. Soul Grind is also Pacifica's first coffee roastery, and they roast their coffee in-house, which gives the place more personality than a standard coffee shop.

It's the same line that you would order if you are dining in. The cashier does everything from taking the order to getting pastries out of the case. Surely she can use a teammate. The drinks were on point. Ordered a charcoal latte and dirty chai. The almond lemons cake piece was tiny for $7.95. Banana choco walnut for $4.75 was better. Be prepared to pay 75 cents more for almond milk or oat milk substitute. Not worth a long wait just for coffee and pasties. Maybe next time will try some of their breakfast items as a sit down.
