    Señorita bread served warm
    Sandy Y.

    I've heard a lot about señorita bread, so when I heard about Starbread Bakery, I had to check it out. It's a little hole-in-the-wall spot tucked into an older strip mall, and I almost missed it. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a friendly staff member and the wonderful scent of freslyh baked bread and pastries. The display cases are filled with mochi doughnuts, malasadas, and other unique treats. I ordered a bag of 10 señorita bread and a chocolate-filled malasada. The señorita bread came out hot. They were warm and sweet, and practically melted in our mouths. The malasada was covered in sugar, crispy, and filled with gooey chocolate. I'm looking forward to the next visit. I'll be buying more of both the malasadas and the señorita bread. A great place!

    A Bay Area classic. When in the area I make it a point to visit and get my fix. Always served pipping hot. You literally just can't have one. I'd say get a bag of 5 and just live a little. Service is welcoming, professional and yet very laid back. They take their reviews seriously and make changes if needed based on customer feedback. That's good service and explains their longevity and expansions. Ambiance is an order and go spit, no place to sit down or anything. Standing room only. Rule of thumb place your order, the. Go wait outside for it to be ready. Depending on the size of your order it can take up to 6 minutes to prepare.

    My first time going into Starbread Bakery this morning! I grabbed some Cinnamon Sugar Donuts and a cake pop for my daughter. Wonderful service and atmosphere with a nice variety of baked goods!

    Always gotta make a stop whenever in the area and a fave yummy treat to gift others. Can't go wrong with their Senorita bread, always piping hot out of the oven and for such a good price! I always get around 20 of these, they don't last too long and taste best fresh. They serve other items like mochi donuts, regular donuts, cake pops, cupcakes, pan de sal, corn bread and haupia. Fresh and hot or room temp, these make a great snack and go great with coffee. Definitely not a daily indulgence, but still a nice once-in-a-while kind of treat and a hit at parties! Service is always quick, the wait isn't any longer than 5 minutes straight from the oven and their bread is unmatched. The interior is small but clean. They accept cash and card.

    Senorita Bread

    Starbread has some of my favorite pastries! I'm happy to see there are more StarBread Bakeries opening. Their buttery and sweet senorita bread always hits! I also love how they're always served warm. The staff was very friendly and we got our pastries as soon as we ordered them! I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Wish there were more StarBread bakery in the Concord/Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek area! The Concord place is the only one! The Starbread is fresh and hot when boxed! Perfect size and buttered! We usually get a box of 20! Very good to get for a party at work or home! There are many other bakery goods to select from. We love the Malasada. The staff are very friendly and professional. When you are in the area, stop by and try it! You won't regret it!

    What's not to love about this place. A true Bay Area icon, there is simply nothing else quite like it. In a world of so many fancy sweets and pastries, starbread holds its own. It doesn't need any fancy gimmicks or designs, just a delicious tan bread. If you've never had it before, star bread is a sweet, buttery bread. It comes in packs of varying sizes, the price is what it should be, and it is always served warm- how it should be eaten every time. The ham and cheese and mochi donut were good, but we all know the real winner. There's no doubt this is a frequent treat of ours in the area. A Bay Area must have!

    Do they carry Portugese custard pastries?

    No they do not

    Are they cash only?

    If the order is less than $10 yes.

    Do they deliver?

    no they do not, but they are well worth the visit, it takes a couple minutes as they are made to order.. omg they are so good

    Are they warm all day can i go in the evening and they'll be hot?

    My first visit to them was about 30 minutes before closing. We were afraid that they would be cold or worse not have good selection. We were in luck! We purchased 2 dozen original and 1 dozen cinnamon señorita bread they were soft, warm but most… Read more

There is plenty of parking around. The store is small and clean. The staff is very friendly. The person who helped me answered my questions and described the cookies' flavor. I came with my family and I ordered 4 cookies: -Brown Butter Pecan 5/5: their number one seller and I can see why! Thin, soft, and loaded with buttery goodness in every bite. -Banana Pudding 5/5: This cookie surprised me. It was amazing! -Birthday Cake 4/5: This was a good cookie. It tasted just like a slice of birthday cake. -Tea Cake 3/4: This was my least favorite. The person who helped me described it as a Madeline flavor and it does taste like one.

Had to finally commit, since there isn't one close to where I live. All the locations are in the East Bay. Thankfully, I made it. I chose two selections. The banana pudding and the chocolate raspberry. I was surprised of the price points. Pretty affordable, more than other bakeries I can think of. The cookies are not little. They smelled wonderful. They taste even better. The customer service was terrific. Friendly and efficient staff members. I enjoyed both flavors and appreciated the high-quality ingredient list is clearly used in the production. I noticed that the cookies are not as sweet as they appear to be. I detected more salt, than sugar in the finish/aftertaste. I look forward to coming back again to sample more flavors. There was a flyer on the front door promoting the upcoming grand opening of the latest new location, in Hayward.

    Well here you are, looking at Alpine Pastry and Cakes. Is this place good? Do I take a chance?…read more Will I be disappointed? Yes, it is very good Yes take a chance. You will not be disappointed. My wife and son are dessert snobs. Both have been to Paris and say France has the best pastries. But wait, they just came back from Alpine, and what did they say???? DELICIOUS!! They were smiling from ear to ear! They bought a carrot cake and an assortment of fresh and tasty pastries. And they even let me have a bite. It was so good! Sooooo, yes, try them. We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

    Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

My only concern is that the internet seems to go down fairly often. We've experienced it several times over the past few months. Other than that, the overall experience has been very positive.

    What Happened to the Choco Bun?…read more Plenty of free parking. When you walk in, grab a tray and window shop all the pastries. They individually wrap these so grab what you want and place it on your tray. Once you're finished, cruise up to the counter. Would I Come Back? Yes, I keep coming back. I use to come back for the Choco Bun, but if they've changed the recipe at all locations, I'll only be coming back for the Milk Bun and Nougat. Their Signature Item: Egg tarts are their signature item. If you've ever been to an Asian party, someone almost always brings a box of egg tarts from 85-Degrees. But on today's visit. Well, just look at the photo. Someone stepped away from the oven for about 6 minutes too long. Choco Bun ($2.55, Grade D): The Choco Bun has been my absolute go-to for years--the closest location to me is usually the South Sacramento store and I tell everyone they have to get it whenever they visit an 85°C. Unfortunately, it's been about 8 months since my last trip, and the Choco Bun is no longer something to write home about. Milk Bun ($2.05, Grade A+): If you've ever had their Milk Bun with the custard filling, the Choco Bun used to be very similar in texture. Now, it's flat with super dry edges. Not good at all. Luckily, I also bought a Milk Bun (my usual second favorite), and by default, it's now my number one because the Choco Bun was a complete bust. It's so fluffy and sweet. Melts in your mouth. Strawberry Banana Smoothie / no boba ($5.85, Grade F): It was incredibly artificial-tasting--nothing real about it. I only made it through a quarter of it before throwing the rest into the garbage. My fault for hoping for a "just picked" fresh fruit taste, but this was honestly one of the worst smoothies I've ever had. Nougat ($9.60, Grade A+): The bagged Nougat candy is fantastic. It's soft, gooey, and packed with what I'm guessing are pieces of pistachio. Delicious, but a fair warning if you have dental issues: these will wreak havoc on your teeth. It's not quite as sticky as a Starburst, but it could definitely pull out a denture! Bottom Line: The staff here is friendly, and there are still a few standout 5-star items that make a visit worth it (the Milk Bun and the Nougat). However, the disappointing recipe change to the Choco Bun and the absolute miss on the smoothie knock this down to a 3-star experience overall.
