Consistent. Quick. Fresh. No complaints! Straight to the point, in and out. The bread is always so good. Somehow always nice, hot and ready when you grab the bag. Butter, sugar, carbs. read more

My partner and I made the trek here today since this is the closest location to us and we were craving señorita bread. We should have just gone to the Daly City location instead. Not only were these soggy, but we were cheated. We ordered 40 pieces (2 boxes of 20) for $32. When we got home to split them up for our relatives, we found there were only 16 in each box!!! Safe to say we'll never be coming back to this location. Make sure you count how many pieces they give you! read more

The girl who's manning the store was rude. Never coming back to this store only for that reason.

Well, the doughnut I bought next door was absolutely delicious but I wanted more, so I went into Starbread bakery. The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is the aroma, it's heavenly. You smell the butter, sugar, yeast, Very enticing to say the least. The person I placed my order with disappeared into the back and returned with a small paper bag of five pieces of starbread, warm and smelling amazing. I've eaten two so far and now realise I could use a cup of coffee to go with. read more

I've had star bread before. It's amazing and addictive, you can't stop eating it. My experience of other star bread locations is a fluffy and slightly sweet bread that's piping hot and just amazing. This location got it completely wrong. Each piece was completely drenched underneath, soaking wet, not just moist. The worst part was the slightly sour smell and taste. Maybe the dough was from yesterday? No idea, but they did not taste right at all. I had one bite, then searched through the box to see if they were all the same and they were. I dumped the whole thing. read more

Starbread Bakery - Soaking wet and sour seńoritas - Bakeries Near Me - San Pablo, California

Was put onto Starbread Bakery and the famous senorita bread by my partner years ago and recently got some while we were in San Pablo. There are a few places across the Bay Area that serve senorita bread but this place has been the one that consistently is the best value and quality that we have been to thus far. This bakery is a pretty small place, really only meant for ordering a good number of pastries to-go. We got 20 for around $16 (which hurts a bit considering it was a good amount cheaper just 3-4 years ago) and they came piping hot. The senorita bread is a perfect mix of buttery and fluffy, and better yet, is great even after being in the refrigerator as it can easily be heated back up at a later time. Love this place and is the place to go for our favorite Filipino pastry. read more

The lady was extremely rude and had some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Her attitude made the entire experience unpleasant. Unfortunately, because of the way I was treated, I will never come back here again. read more

I've been going here for years trying to stop in when I'm in or passing by the area. The last few times I don't know why but the bread has a strong fermented smell. Maybe diff people making it I dunno. When I have the señorita rolls from the other locations it doesn't have that smell. read more

It's amazing. Just the right amount of sweet. Original Starbread don't get fancy. I went in store and tried it all. Nothing compares. I could probably eat a 60 box on my own if I just decided to have only star bread for food. I get it, carbs are the enemy. But these carbs are too good to deny. read more

This is my Wonderland in the city of San Pablo across the street from the Casino. I went to pick up my mom to run errands, she wasn't ready and needed a little more time. I took the opportunity to go by Star Bread. I was dreaming about it going across the Richmond San Rafael Bridge. There is a heaven, right here. The owner and her kids are so nice and welcoming, the mom answered some questions from Yelp for me. I will return no doubt about it. Let us bow our heads before we partake. My mom loved it, she remembers this sweet bread as a kid in Texas. Thanks Star Bread for this wonderful delicatessen read more

What can i even say. Always good, friendly and fast service. I usually go pick up starbread for my family and coworkers. Everything in this bakery is delicious read more

Starbread is the perfect holiday dessert for a potluck or to bring to a party. The best gift to say thank you to a group of people! Inexpensive and fast to order! Came twice in one day to give to a classroom and housing community. Both times took only 5 minute wait or less to get starbread. You cannot order ahead of time but should be no problem. Do not accept bills $100 and over and have a service charge for credit cards. They have other baked goods but their show stopper is their warm seniorita bread which has a buttery sugary filling! I will say the best time to eat it is when it's fresh and warm. It's okay room temp but best warmed up. I don't prefer it day old + but i think it depends on your preference. I read more

Starbread Bakery - Menu - Bakeries Near Me - San Pablo, California

Yes. Yes. Yes! As a Filipino-American from Metro-Detroit, Filipino bakeries are head to come by. So whenever we're in the bay area, you know I'm making the most of SF's Filipino Community. This place was everything I needed it to be. I'm fairly confident that 95% of their profit margins comes from selling exactly one item - señorita bread (aka Spanish bread). And they do it so incredibly well. Their bread is much smaller than I'm used to, but the size was an improvement to any other version I've had before. Two bites, and your señorita bread has disappeared. You stare at your hand, wondering there it's gone, but then, you remember the delightful taste in your mouth and its happy home in your stomach. Perfectly warm, fluffy, buttery, and the perfect touch of sugar. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it. We ordered 25 pieces to bring back for a household of 5 adults, 2 teenagers, and 1 toddler. This was a mistake. We should have ordered more. The bread had completely disappeared in half a day. Otherwise, we also ordered the tiramisu which I wouldn't describe as accurately Italian but still tasty and light. We also ordered some of the Nutella stuffed señorita bread which was fine, but I could skip in favor of a couple more traditional pieces. I also wish they'd offer coffee. What a wonderful morning snack that would be. We can't wait to come back. We may go back twice in one week. I have no shame because it's delicious. I'll have to make sure I time another future visit for when they have other exciting offerings like ube pan de sal, but for now, just call me Kirby because I'll take it all. read more

What you need to know is that there were 15 pieces in this box five minutes before I took this picture. I don't know why I'm writing this because I must be the last person on earth who didn't know about Starbread. To be fair I tried them like a decade ago and the señorita bread must have been cold so I never went back. I just moved nearby and decided I'd try again -- and the HOT rolls? They changed my life. My partner and I ascended. This box is empty now but my heart is full. read more

Starbread Bakery - heaven. - Bakeries Near Me - San Pablo, California

It's not the biggest bakery in the Bay, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in pastry might. My friend had brought his newlywed wife down from the Seattle area. She's from the Philippines, and was a little homesick after a few months in the States. So I brought my buddy and his bride on a Bay Area's best taste of the Philippines tour. Well best as far as yelp ratings go. Starbread was one of the stops, and it didn't disappoint. My fellow yelpers were spot on as this was definitely worth it's stars. My bud'z wife picked up a kind of nutcake. I don't know how it tasted, but it looked tasty. What I did order was a small bag of Senorita Bread to sample. I had been introduced to Senorita bread by a former co-worker who'd get our work module this occasional treat. They were absolutely delicious. I'm not sure if he got them at Starbread. It may have been but what I tried at Starbread was on another tier of amazing! It was definitely because the woman taking my order went to the back and got me some fresh baked ones still steaming with heat. Back in our office, the pastries had long cooled. I promptly gave one to my friend's wife. She took a quick bite before I could give one to my friend. He reached to take a bite of hers, but she actually pulled away because it was too delicious to share! it's still the honeymoon phase...except when it comes to fresh baked Starbread Senoritas. I gave my friend his own, which he fast devoured. With his wife's eyes pining for more, he then promptly ordered another bag. Domestic order restored! Clearly, he already embraces that well-aged adage for marital success: A happy wife is a happy life. His wife mentioned that in the Philippines, they actually call it Spanish bread. I'm wondering how the moniker changed after crossing the Pacific. Well, whatever you call it, I call it deliciosa. (Warning: In high school I took French...) read more

If you know, you know. You can't go wrong, and I promise you, you can't eat just one. A must-try if you haven't already.

Easy parking right up front in the shopping center parking lot. No line, smells so good inside, quick service. Note that it is best to take cash, they charge 3% service fee for using credit card no matter how much your total is. The Señorita bread is AMAZING. It is made fresh daily. When we went yesterday, it was served warm and fresh and buttery. Their prices haven't changed in quite some time, there is no discount for bulk purchasing but it's fairly priced to begin with so not an issue. So so good. read more

Fast service, always fresh and warm, no seating inside but other than that it's great!

After many times of driving by this place, we decided to stop on in. Usually, there is a line but we got lucky and there was no one there. We ordered 24 and 1. It's super inexpensive 2. It is so piping hot! 3. It's pretty darn good. I've never had it but I had heard all about it and it was worth the stop. I am glad I don't like so close! Weird but notable mention: since it was our first time, Mr & I both tried using our CitiBank cards and they were declined. Unsure if it's one of those spots that flag something weird on the bank end. Luckily, we had alt way of paying. read more

I came here twice in one week and forgot to take a picture of the actual senorita bread both times because of how fast they were devoured! If you've never had these, they are these delicious Filipino rolls filled with butter and sugar -- what's not to love?? It's been a few difficult weeks at work, so I bought 25+ piece boxes each time for my coworkers. The service is quick and friendly, the food is reasoningly priced (25 pieces for $15!), and the senorita bread even comes out heated up. I would definitely recommend stopping by any Starbread bakery to get your senorita bread fix! read more

I had starbread over 20 years ago when I recovering from a hospital stint and friend brought some. That taste has stayed

I'm scared how many I might eat of these... Already had 3 and If I had no self control I could easily eat 10. Ordered 100 for a baby shower and she prepared 2 boxes in 2 minutes. $60 what a steal. read more

3 stars overall, 5 stars are for the bread it's delicious, always warm & buttery, sweet goes delicious with my coffee at any time of day! My only problem is this cashier! She gets 1 star for being the middle person between this bread and me She is not friendly or welcoming! She asks what do you want with a grouchy attitude! When she gives the items she does not hand them over, she throws them to the counter! That's not polite! It's like she's being forced to work or she's had it for the day or like she's throwing it to a dog! I called her out on it one time she apologized but still does it, seen her do it to other customers as well! I understand one time but it's every time I go and she's at the counter! I think If I see her there again, I'll just not walk in and get something else. the places is usually quiet and packed in the mornings. read more

I was driving from Muir Woods back to sac and remembered señorita bread was on the way, and was two miles away from the exit and had to made a stop as we had people who never had it! Well worth the extra time. I had my kids go in and their friends so they could smell the aroma. They said it smelled great. The bread was piping hot! Like I had burn sensations from the melted butter. Yes, it was worth it too!! I mentioned to my family they had a Starbread in Sac, they along with friends say this IS the location to get the señorita bread, so run on over and get you some!! read more

As we entered Starbread Bakery, we were greeted by the wonderful buttery aroma of the sinorita breads. Despite it being 30 min. prior to closing there were still 3-4 people trying to make their purchases. The wait was well worth it. You could taste the buttery richness & the flavor in each bite. I decided to try the Turkey & Cheese bread. It was Turkey lunch meat with a slice of cheese. For the price, it was reasonable & a nice option if you don't want any sweets. Starbread is definitely a staple for me when there's a store near by. read more

First time coming here so I ordered a 20 pack, or maybe it was the 25 pack. Whatever it was, before I got home I had eaten 7 pieces of senorita bread. I was just popping them in my mouth at each stop light. These are dangerous! I almost came back the next day but told myself to chill. Now, if that isn't self control I don't know what is. read more

Starbread Bakery - I think I bought the 20 pack. Took this photo immediately before I devoured 7 - Bakeries Near Me - San Pablo, California

The senorita bread is very delicious. Our batch was hot out of the oven. Still good the next day. We also got some filled ones (basically, a roll filled with goopy jam), that were ok, but will pass on those next time. Yes, the service can be slow and not personable, but our priority is the bread, and the senorita bread is worth coming back for. read more

The bread here is so yummy! I also ordered a slice of tiramisu cake, a slice of chocolate mousse cake, and the mango delight macaron. I would recommend the bread and cakes here! It was such a good deal!! Only $2.75 for the tiramisu, and $2.50 for chocolate mousse! There is a $0.50 charge for paying with your credit card, but no charge since I used my debit card. There isn't any seating though, so we ate the yummy desserts in my car. read more

Came here to pick up a box of señorita bread after hearing my coworkers rave about it. I can definitely see what the hype is all about! They're basically these 2-3 bite delicious dinner roll type things with warm sweet butter. MMMM so so good. If you come pick some up, be sure to eat a couple while they're still warm. If not, you can just zap em in the microwave for a couple seconds, or heat them back up in the oven. I was afraid of these being too sweet because I'm not a huge sweets person, and I've heard from filipino friends that they love their sweets, but the señorita bread was the perfect amount of sweet. If you leave em out, you'll probably catch yourself snacking on them throughout the day! You can buy them in increments of 5 pieces! Expect to eat at least 3-4 per person because they're small and so addictive! Also I think if you spend under $10 it's cash only. And while it says it closes at 6pm here on yelp, when I went a week ago, the door's hours posted says closes at 7pm! read more

Starbread Bakery - a box of fresh warm señorita bread! - Bakeries Near Me - San Pablo, California

Everyone raves about señorita bread and I've never tried them before so I yelped the nearest bakery near me. I peaked at the menu and saw that they offer different fillings in addition to the standard version so I had to give this place a try! I got 5 pieces of the standard señorita bread for $2 along with the pineapple and cream cheese filling for $3 each ( three pieces for each flavor). First off I can not express how fresh the señorita was when I got mine! It was warm like it was just out of the oven! However the ones with fillings weren't warm since they were displayed on the counter. Would be nice if the counter had a warmer of some sort for the bread with fillings. Overall this was good! It is not overly sweet, just the perfect amount of butter and sugar! The bread was nice and fluffy! It was heavenly! Due to the pandemic, this bakery only allows two groups of customers at a time inside. Everyone else had to wait outside until a group exits. Parking: there's a mini lot right in front, but is shared with the other businesses in the plaza. I didn't have an issue finding parking in the lot of a Saturday afternoon! Overall, I say give this bakery a try! Everything is fresh and made daily! They offer savory items such as hotdog, pizza, ham and cheese, etc. in the same dough as the señorita bread. They also make cheesecake, tiramisu, mousse cake and fudge cake! There's something for everyone! :) read more

I was craving this today, and was contemplating driving to SF just for the bread, I googled it, and this location came up! Boy, am I glad that there is one in the east bay, I was visiting my parents and it was only a 7 minute drive. These are the best eveeeerrr. So savory, sweet and light. I ordered quiet a few, and needles to say it is impossible to just eat one. They are hard to put down and well, don't complain when you eat an entire box (just enjoy!). read more

Starbread Bakery - Señorita Bread - Bakeries Near Me - San Pablo, California

I've been eyeing the star bread bakery and finally had the opportunity to go try it. Even during covid times they only accept cash for orders under $10. So it's best to have exact change, if possible. No purell or any hand sanitizer available inside. I walked in one Saturday morning and there was no line. I waited for the employee to come out of the back and I had requested my order. She then grabbed a box and proceeded to go to the back. I've had other star breads before, and compared to those, these breads were not as buttery. When I bit into the bread, it was actually empty inside. Overall, I'd say that it was just ok. My expectations of an oozing buttery bread was not met. read more

5 years after my last review, driving to Annie's Annuals to get plants for a winter garden and BAM! Oh yeah! You have to drive right by Starbread to get there! Yes, please. Got the 20 piece box ($8) of Senorita bread, ate some on the way home, and 25 minutes after I picked them up, I got them home to the family and they were still warm. Covid practices seem good...they have #1, 2 and 3 on the floor to let you know where to stand, so looks like more than 3 would have to stand outside and wait. Consistency is key...love this Starbread! read more
