Not only do they have senorita bread, they have other food items like cornbread and donuts. The cornbread was great especially after adding some honey! They have regular and ube cornbread. They have regular donuts and mochi donuts! We got Oreo, ube, and churro. The place is really small - definitely not a place where you can sit down to eat. The service was friendly and quick! read more

Delicious senorita bread! It's the only thing I've tried. We ordered for a party and they were quick to accommodate our order. Nothing spectacular about service.... But didn't impact my overall experience. Would totally continue to frequent StarBread! read more

The Dude and I came to the infamous StarBread Bakery on 01/03/23 as we were hearing so much hype about it. We really wanted to try this place out not only for their bread but for the Ube items as well. I have a gluten intolerance and cannot eat a lot of things with gluten :( . So when I entered I was greeted by a sweet lady. What was sweeter....was the inside, it smelled sooooo good. My gluten senses were tingling and I couldn't wait to over indulge!!!! It smelled absolutely delicious inside. It is also pretty small inside too. I ended up getting the Senorita Bread of course!!! We got about 18 or 20. I got a Ube Malasada and Guava as well along with. Ube cake. I gave the Senorita Bread 8/10. It was sweet and buttery at the same time. I think I scarfed down 3. It was good but I think I was expecting it to be more flavorful as the other reviews add. I didn't get a rich buttery taste. But it was good. Probably would not get again. I took a bite of the Malasada of Ube and Guava 7/10. It tasted stale but good. The Ube Cake was my personal favorite. I love Ube!!! Ube all day!!! It was good but it had a weird aftertaste and I don't like the artificial color as it left my tongue purple. Too much dye. Real Ube is not that dark purple color. Anyways the dude thought it was good too. We ended up giving them to the dudes family for breakfast. His 93 year old grandmother loved them with her morning coffee and other relatives who were over too! We were so happy to share as it was a staple of memories for them growing up. Overall, I would return in a heart beat to share bread with the dudes family and especially our Mema as she enjoyed them!!! So this place is very much special us. When we are in town visiting we are going to come by again! read more

This place has a cult following at my work. We were introduced to it by an intern 8 years ago and there has been no looking back. Obvi the seniorita bread is a must get. But I also really like their filled jelly donuts, regular donuts, corn bread, mochi donuts, etc. The filled donuts have become a Chanukah staple in our break room. Service is always fast and friendly. read more

If you are a carb monster, this is definitely the place for you! Well known for their señorita bread, StarBread Bakery was founded in the late 1980s by the Maranan family in Vallejo, CA. Since then, it has grown into a small chain with locations in NorCal, SoCal, and NV. This one is situated inside a small strip mall at the corner of Contra Costa Blvd and Golf Club Rd, across the street from Sun Valley Mall. Although they offer a variety of baked goods, señorita bread is definitely their #1 seller. Why #1 you ask? See below. 1). It covers three major food groups - bread, butter, and sugar. 2). Perfect size - three bites max. 3). It's always made fresh. The bread is light and airy with a beautiful crust. Each piece is slathered with a copious amount of melted butter and sugar. What's there not to love? This delightful snack is perfect with a cup of coffee and tea. You better get lots because one piece is never enough. Prices have gone up a bit since the beginning of 2022 but are still reasonable. Service is always friendly. read more

StarBread Bakery is one of my go-to stops when visiting Sacramento. No matter how many times I've attempted to recreate it I can't get that iconic StarBread taste and texture. While there are many other baked goods that look delicious I've only ever ordered the iconic señorita bread. They're soft, hot, fresh little rolled up sweet and buttery buns. We always order at least 100 buns to bring back home and share but you can absolutely put down (and should) a row when you first order them. They should be eaten right away but if (big if!) you have extras freeze them and microwave them for a few seconds and they're almost good as new. While sometimes there can be a wait they're definitely worth it to have them hot and fresh! read more

Go for the warm starbread. Can't vouch for anything else. Ask for warm ones. They are friendly and will always give you fresh ones if available. read more

StarBread is one of my favorite treats to have with a strong Coffee in the morning. You have to have it while it's fresh, as its buttery sweet undercarriage dries out if left in the box too long. You can revive it the next day with a quick 300 degree 4 min air fry but it's best enjoyed when finished within the first 24 hours of purchase. read more

Starbread is a staple. I love everything about a beautifully warm piece of bread with melted butter and sugar with every bite. I used to go to the Vallejo location for over two decades and now I'll pop off at the San Pablo one or this one. They even do donuts, pastries, cupcakes, cookies, and so much more than the bread. But if you're looking to bring something to a potluck, a baby shower, or just a surprise, stop off at starbread and always make sure you get at least a half a dozen pieces for yourself because they never make it a full count out of the box.!! The temptation is overwhelming and you end up eating a few on the way read more

This by far has to be the worst location when it comes to quality and freshness of the senorita bread. I bought $100 worth of this bread and some were overcooked and some were undercooked resulting in food poisoning and or uneatable rolls. Am super disappointed since other locations are simply not like this! Avoid this location if you can and try a different location that is consistent with quality and freshness! read more

They have many selections! Their Ube cornbread is the bomb!!! The price is reasonable.

Senorita bread is delicious. Hot, buttery, and sweet. One is not enough. Treats are affordable. $1.00 after 5pm. Thats a good deal! Parking is a lot. read more

Starbread has delicious Senorita bread. Freshly baked, milky, sweet, delicious! It is definitely a treat! You go in order, pay, wait a bit and voila you got your yumsters to go! The amount to pay depends on the number of breads ordered and they are presented in a to-go box. So if you are heading to a friends house and need a tea time snack, this is an option for sure. read more

Who doesn't love starbread?! I had some family in town from the East Coast who had never had of it. They loved it.

Got here right in time before the rush Once it hits 7:45am, there was at least 6 other people waiting and there is a 5 min wait time per senorita bread order. Bicho-Bicho, my love, the filipino donut and the one I got had cream cheese filling. Definitely hits the spot. Next to that, I ordered a 20 piece box for my peers at UC Davis. In total, $14 w/o tip and tax, which is a pretty good deal! Wish they were open at 6:30am like the one in Vacaville since I'm hardly able to stay past 7am with my commute and the ones along the way to Davis are deep in their cities so not a quick side trip like this one. But, I'll still take it read more

Delicious, and fresh Starbread. Each time we have gone the bread was always freshly baked and warm!

The Bavarian cream filled chocolate iced donut is my go to flavor! We also enjoyed the strawberry jelly filled glazed donut as well as the blueberry filled one. Great little donut shop, they tasted fresh even though we stopped by in the afternoon. I was also happy to see that the prices were reasonable. read more

They are very good... this location is quick and there senorita was good . Some locations are stingy with the spread here it wasn't lacking

Delicious, simple, good service. What more could you ask for! I love to get these when people are visiting and everyone loves them

I walked in the store and was immediately turned off because I confirmed they use margarine. I personally cannot eat what in my opinion is an unhealthy heavily processed product (margarine). CAN YOU PLEASE USE REAL BUTTER or UNREFINED COCONUT OIL & ELIMINATE MARGARINE? I just W - I - S - H there was one iota of health consciousness. Please stop using unhealthy (my opinion) heavily processed manufactured oils in products just because they're economical. In my opinion economical heavily processed oils are cost effective for business but one pays dearily with their health. Please use REAL BUTTER, not margarine or cheap oil. read more

Sweet sticky icky buttered up fresh bread, yes please!!!! My family just loOoOoooOOoves these and cannot stop eating them!! It's like that Potato chip saying, "you can't eat just one"!! I only try to get 20 at a time because I just can't be responsible for causing diabetes for the family. The price is reasonable at $12 for 20 pieces. Their service is very quick too, longest I've had to wait for fresh bread was like 5 minutes. You can't rush goodness man! Buy it, try it, you're welcome! read more

StarBread Bakery - Just like crack... so they say! - Bakeries Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Friends. At this rate, I'll never have to leave home. Or pay for food. On a recent Saturday, a friend met me to trade gifts, mine being from the farmer's market. She handed me a box (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=e6CiyR4pr3hvEXOFLRAlfw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), telling me it was near her workplace. Having heard the name but not knowing their background, I naturally searched Yelp to answer my questions. When I opened the box, it was a no-brainer that my family and coworker would share in my friend's generosity. They are known for their Senorita bread (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2-Lul-xnGiWZB4Hyor1JDw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and, not wanting to spoil the surprise, I didn't read reviews to create any expectations. I ate one a few hours later after lunch. It reminded me of what I had in Hawaii (Spanish roll), with a firm outer crust and a soft and chewy texture inside, not overly sweet yet still flavorful. Unlike my friend, I was satisfied with one at this sitting. I shared most of the rest with my family and a friend. Better I share the calories with them than me absorbing them all. Thank you to my thoughtful and generous friend for giving me an opportunity to try this. In a quick search afterwards, I learned that their original store is in Daly City, a shorter drive for me from home. Will try this again and pay forward by getting some for some of my other friends to try. read more

No gluten free options. Unlike what other reviewers noted,I was told none where to be had. Bummer

Cute small bakery that sells Philippino bread called starbread. We were planning to visit but were just drawn to the store because of the delicious buttery baked bread smell. Tried their regular starbread and ube cake. Starbread was slightly crispy outside and super soft inside and moist - just melting in your mouth! It was, though, little too sweet for me, and the sugar/butter liquid mixture was dripping to the bottom of the paper bag. They can put a much less butter/sugar mixture, so it's rather a nutty and lighter bread, and sprinkle a couple of coarse salts on top to give some kicks with that sweet-saltiness magic. Usually, I would finish 2-3 starbread, but one was enough. Ube was moist and okay, but it could reduce the sweetness a bit. Texture are there, but just the moderation in sweetness... :-) read more

My first time going here. I bought one Ube mochi donut, 1 dolce de leche bitso bitso, 1 vanila Malasata and 1 bag of Pan de Ube. Every sample bite of each item was DRY. Even the mochi donut was disappointingly DRY. *Go to Castro Valley for a mocha donut! The bag of Pan de Ube had 5 buns- I took a bite of one, the rest went to the trash can. I honestly don't know why people were in line at this place. Save your money! read more

First time going in. Excited, everything looks delicious. Just had dinner across the street and wanted 1 donut for a treat...but of course not. $10 minimum for a purchase on card. I'm one man. I don't need multiple donuts. I don't carry cash. What is going on in this world. All I wanted was a delicious treat and now I'm leaving a negative review to a probably otherwise good business. Just ridiculous you can't figure a system to charge me 4$ and let me be on my way. Insane. read more

I've always heard of StarBread bakery and didn't realize that this was the famous one after walking by from getting Happy Lemon! Glad I decided to stop by for some señorita bread or else I would've really missed out. Came on Halloween and a little girl had a stand in front of the store passing out candy goodie bags. How cute!! I think it is a family owned shop! Got the 5 pieces for $3. Very reasonable price! The pieces were small but freshly made! Waited a few minutes outside and they were piping hot when I received them!! Essentially a sweet bread with a light sugary glaze on the outside and a chewy inside- no filling. Would be great to bring to a party or to share with family. I will definitely be back!! read more

Every time I come to California, I must get star bread. My kids enjoy it and I do too. Always warm and fresh, not too sweet and always made fresh to order. Service is okay, no one is rude but not pleasant either. The ambiance is normal, you walk in and they take your order. There are a lot of options and looks to be family owned but my favorite is the star bread. You can't eat just one, they are addictive read more

Ordered a bunch of stuff we have yet to eat but we did eat the senorita and it was like eating a slice of heaven!!! Rich, buttery and not too sweet, the sweet bread was like a soft pillow!!! I would much rather eat these any day than a donut!!!! So glad we stopped by! We also ordered the Malasadas and some pan de sal. read more

Love starbread. It is so addictive and soft like pillow! My secret wish is to eat 5 of them all at once and pretend it never happens! I also enjoy their donuts and they are quite good too and my son loves their chocolate sprinkle ones! They only allow one customer at a time so be prepared to line up if you come in a bit later but it should go quickly. read more

You can't go wrong with señorita bread... ever!! Initially, my partner and I wanted to treat my niece and nephew to some boba in the area (this plaza had a Happy Lemon), but was blindsided by the "closed" sign they plastered their door. Not sure why it hasn't been reported as closed. Anyways, seeing that we couldn't get boba for the day, we decided to stop by Starbread Bakery to get some delicious hot and steamy señorita bread! 10/10 it flipped the day and made our boba-less adventure less painful! You really cannot sleep on it! If you haven't tried señorita bread yet, do yourself a favor and go try it! It was a shame to see the store located in the corner of the plaza, away from traffic and people, but then again.. maybe it'll be a hidden gem Personally, I feel like all of the señorita bread lovers probably know of its existence! read more

StarBread Bakery - Señorita bread - Bakeries Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

There is another starbread location in pittsburg ca. I personally like this location more than the pittsburg one. Location: the location is in a shopping plaza near sunvalley mall and diablo Valley College. The same plaza with happy lemon. Parking is easy to find in the area. Ambiance: smell of Filipino seniorita bread and baked goods fill the space. However, there is no chairs and tables. It only has space for the tables and chairs. Food: you don't need to travel to Hawaii to eat a good masala. Starbread has a variety of deserts like seniorita bread, mochi donuts, Filipino style donuts like bichu bichu. And masalas. Credit card is accepted if the order is more than 7 dollars. The ube msalas is delicious. Overall, come to this place if you miss Hawaii and want to Try filipino baked goods for a reasonable price. read more

I honestly just want to lay around and eat senorita bread all day. A friend of mine posted an IG story of her senorita bread. Apparently a starbread bakery opened up near her in southern california. I immediately asked her what they were and thus began my deep dive on where to find a starbread. Luckily I live not too far from two of them, and my parents live even closer to the Pleasant Hill location. So last week I finally stopped in. Be warned the place is very small. They ask the only one person be inside at the time. They have a good selection of other pastries and donuts, but the senorita bread is what I came for, so I ordered and waited outside. Those little buttery, sweet rolls were everything I had hoped for. They were piping hot, and honestly I would have eaten them all on the car ride home if there weren't other people with me. These are going to be my new go to if I ever have to bring something to someone's house. My stomach is rumbling right now thinking about them, and I can't wait to go back and get more. read more
