Another great Filipino bakery! You can't go wrong with anything here. This time I got the chicken empanadas and some Turon. The staff is always kind and there's so much to choose from. No seating as this is a grab and go bakery. read more

Popular Filipino bake shop located next to Seafood City where you can get your basic Filipino baked goods. I came in specifically to purchase their empanadas (chicken and beef) and the carioca. They were busy on a Friday afternoon, so the line to pay was backed up. This bake shop is not very big, so it can feel a little crowded at times. The cashier tends to try to promote items (upsell) for you to purchase as you are checking out. The general area is a little sketchy as there are a bunch of homeless people walking around in the nearby streets and sometimes in the parking lot. Seafood City does hire security that hang out outside, so there is less homeless walking around near the stores and restaurants now. read more

Very friendly customer Filipino service. There is a 10 dollar limit so I ordered the Ube Pan De Sal and regular Pan De Sal. I'm very exicited to try this when I get home with butter and cheese. Come visit them and tell them I sent you. read more

I'm really happy with this spot. Although its a bit small, they have quite a selection. They have all my favorites and its always fresh, good quality. The cashier is really nice and polite. But like I said its a small shop, so if there's even a few people in there, everyone is running into each other or having to wait ti get the items they want. Ill still be coming back here though because they always have my favorites items available read more

The turon in Daly City location is 10x better than the one in Vallejo. I don't understand why they are no the same when it's just one Owner? It seems to me that the workers in Daly City location care about customers more because they listen to their customers feedback read more

Please don't get me wrong I love this bakery so much! But damn!!! No one picks up the phone their VM is full. I hope they can read this because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Called them 20 times I want to think that they're busy that's why no one is answering but seriously though from opening to closing no one can answer the phone?! read more

I've been going to this bakery whenever I am craving for pandesal, hopia, and other Filipino pastries and different kinds of baked food. Pandesal is the best seller! There's also siopao, bibingka, puto, hopia, turon, leche flan, etc. Tastes like the ones in the Philippines! Small store located next to Seafood City and Jollibee. Service is good just a brief time to check out, I believe cash only if less than $10 orders. I just hope prices won't go up because there's a lot of mark up happened this past years but I understand. read more

I'm from San Diego so I've been to all of the Valerio bakeries in National City and let me tell you, none of them compare to the one in Vallejo. Every time I go to visit my cousin who lives in Corte Madera I make it a point to buy their siopao pork at least 6 dozen of them to take back to San Diego. The dough is so much better as well as the pork filling. They freeze so well. Their wheat pandesal is even better from here. So much softer. I've tried practically everything there and they are all so delicious. I don't know if it's a chair or related somehow but this particular bakery in Vallejo gets a from me and highly recommended. Unfortunately, my family and I have already eaten what we bought before writing this review. I'm looking forward to my next visit/ treat. read more

Why is this place so delicious?!?!? I grew up in the V and having this as a bakery was just the thing. So when I moved out of the area, this was THE THING that I craved. When friends come to visit, they ask what they can bring and I always request the UBE BREAD from Valerio's, hands down. One thing we found out is that the ube bread is not put out until after 10am, so a close second is the coconut bread. I've also bought bibingka, hopia and turon there and they are all so delicious but the ube bread is where it's at! read more

Always solid in selection. A town staple for Filipino baked goods. Get your siopao, get your pandesal, get empanadas and other sweet treats as well. Can't go wrong. read more

I don't go there anymore the prices goes up almost everyday the people that works there are very rude! It is unsanitary there as there are flies in their display cabinets where their pastries are displayed! The service is bad! Don't go there! Go to Bulacan Bakery in Springs Road! They are nicer there and taste is better and price is not over price!!!! read more

I love their baked stuffed pandesal with corned beef, tuna etc. it's a great snack or breakfast go to. Just toast it and it's perfect. I also love their karaoka on a stick, turn with langka, mana blanca (seasonal) and their tamales (found in the display fridge). Customer service is always so pleasant. read more

One of the bakeries where we buy bread and other bake goods. We haven't had any bad experiences with their service. Pandesal and cheese bread are our go to bread. They started selling Ube Pandesal. However, there's no filling inside. No Ube or Cheese. There's no taste of ube at all. It just has the color purple but otherwise, just plain pandesal. read more

Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop - Ube Pandesal (No ube or cheese filling) - Bakeries Near Me - Vallejo, California

Dishonest business. I bought several baked good from this establishment on Dec. 24, 2024. At the register, I noticed the cashier input the wrong price for two items ($8.99). When I questioned her, she insisted it is the correct price. I showed her the price tag on one of my items ($7.99) and another that was on the displace table. She still insisted that she input the correct price because "the price went up". Hhhmmm. I insisted on what was on the tag. She heaved and cancelled the transaction then wrung up all my items again, but sort of asked her coworker for the price on another item I had. The price on that item changed because she supposedly input a lower price earlier. I couldn't complain on that was because there was no price tag. The establishment inconsistently tagged their products. Most do not have any price tag. Their receipt is barely legible. The items are not clearly noted except for very few. Otherwise, it would say "open item", then the price they charge you for it. That means, they can put whatever amount they want and you'd have no idea which item you bought is that price. And, the price "increase" of a dollar more for each item might be because of the holiday and they know a lot of people will be buying baked goods. They were scalping their own products!! read more

Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop - Receipt got a bit wet on the right side. - Bakeries Near Me - Vallejo, California

Located in the seafood city parking lot between chow king and Jollibee. There is plenty of parking. Once inside you are overwhelmed with the amount of bread, pastries and dessert options around you. At first, I was the only one there and then more people started to arrive. It wasn't loud in there although I didn't notice much of the ambiance because I was looking at which items they had. They have shelves of goodies, a refrigerator in the back and a display case in front. I arrived knowing what I needed to get buy but of course I was distracted by other items. In this visit, I purchased mini chicken empanadas. They have a 10 piece and a 5 piece option. I chose the 10 piece. My mom also asked for the guava cream cheese bites (this also comes in blueberry and plain) this is mini sized and come in 8 I think. They also have large ones in the front display case. I picked up the taro ube bread (I couldn't resist, I love both!) It is 6 pieces of bread with taro inside. I did not have to wait in line long, it went pretty fast. The chicken empanadas are always moist and full of meat and veggies, these are delicious. The guava cream cheese was sweet. The filling wasn't equal but we weren't complaining. The taro ube bread was filled with taro, not too sweet but not enough ube for me. I think because the bread is purple that's what's considered "ube" ? I don't know. It's good but I would come back and try other ube options and they have plenty. I don't come often because it's across town for me but it's definitely a treat! read more

Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop - Taro ube bread. Purple bread with taro inside. Not too sweet. - Bakeries Near Me - Vallejo, California

They have such a great variety of snacks and breads to choose from. We enjoyed the pineapple empanada and pan de coco.

Had the most delicious Ube bread roll from here. They were baked fresh and so delicious. My mom purchased the pimento cheese bread and it was packed with flavor, we loved what we bought. Ube roll: 5 stars Pimento cheese bread: 5 stars The young lady working here is very nice and was helping us find what we needed. So I would give their customer service a 5 stars as well. Would definitely recommend this place to others. There are so many baked goods to choose from. You are in bakery heaven. read more

Don't buy the Ube Halaya. "Grated Ube" is listed as the main ingredient. This tastes like a lie. How does it taste like caramel? It's mostly sugar & flour filling. CA #USDA please inspect. #CAUSDA if Ube powder is used, then it needs to be listed as an ingredient. There's no ube flavor, just coloring. I knew it was sketchy when I struck up a conversation with the cashier and she was nervous to recommend anything. I must have asked her 3-4 times on what pastries she liked. She finally just mouthed off the items already in my basket. read more

Been getting my pan de sal from here for years, it's the most soft and fresh and even better than some that I've had when I lived in the Philippines. They have everything here from siaopao, Turon, ube pan de sal, halaya, desserts, puto bumbong, cassava and much more!! I always get treats from here for my family. There is a $10 card minimum and are only allowing 5 people in the store at all times. Service is fast! read more

It's very rare that you'll find a Filipino bakery in NorCal. & Valerio's is the best, small business Filipino bakery. It's located in the heart of the Filipino community in Vallejo (same plaza as seafood city, jollibee, chowking, red ribbon, etc). & just like all bakeries, the items on the menu go fast & are baked in limited quantities for the day. Do not fear, if you know what you want, you can call ahead & they can set aside a few things for you. They have everything from Cheesebread, Ube bread, turon, etc. So if you're craving something sweet & delicious from the Filipino heritage, stop by here & satisfy your cravings. read more

This is regarding the Tuesday Senior Discount 10% sign at the register. Please also add these words: "Applies to regular priced items only, sales items excluded." Getting surprised by the cashier at this exclusion was unpleasant, and suspicious. Future visits will be considered with caution. read more

We bought a few things earlier, my sister in law and I tried this ube roll and thought it had a weird and sour taste to it. We smelled it and it is definitely spoiled!!! I feel like it would be useless to call and complain or to go back and show it to them and complain. They probably wouldn't care and be passive about it. Unless you're fluent in Tagalog, then that's probably the only time they'll acknowledge you. Now we're scared to eat the other 4 things we bought! read more

Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop - Spoiled Ube Roll! It was sour! - Bakeries Near Me - Vallejo, California

Very inattentive staff. Female cashier was on the phone while checking us out. She gave me the total. I handed her a $20 bill and she put it in her drawer. I waited for her to give me my change and she said she was waiting for me to pay. I told her I just handed you $20. She said no you didn't. After a few minutes of back and forth, person behind me in line spoke up and confirmed that I indeed gave her a $20 bill. She looked embarrassed and gave me my change. Did not even apologize. I thanked the person behind me for being patient during this whole time and for speaking up. Very rude customer service. Would not come back again. read more

My family and I have been coming here for a very long time, since I was in my teens. I'm now 24, and I just returned yesterday for some of their buns that has the chilies and cream cheese in it. I took my boyfriend with me and hyped him up about the buns because they've been my favorite for a very long time. I don't know if there is a new owner, or if they just wanted to change the recipes due to Covid. But this place is NOT the same. Starting with the buns with the chilies and cream cheese, the lack of filling is so awful I can't even believe they put these on the shelves. It was definitely not enjoyable at all and not like the old ones. The bread is also a little harder then usual. It didn't feel as fresh. Another one of my favorite items was the hopia ube. They changed the look of it, it's a lot thicker now. They used to be smaller in size. You would think this would be an upgrade, but they also changed the filling. The filling lacks the richness it used to have. Tastes like they're lacking on the quality of the filling. I most likely will not be returning for this item. Or possibly not at all. We got some Ube buns , and they were okay, but again the bread is missing the element of freshness. It seems a little hard. Anyway, if you find a place like this that actually cares about the quality and freshness of their bread and food, please let me know. read more

Valerio's Tropical has a variety of Filipino Baked goods., all seemingly made fresh daily. eats: Macapuno Ensaymada (1.99) crumbs::hugh fluffy bun with fresh schredded coconut within, topped with schredded cheese paste, so deliz and decadent for $2. -quick service -short lines, -lots of fresh buns in bigger bags, just bought one to prevent any from going stale. read more

I really don't have a lot of knowledge about Filipino baked goods, but if you have taste buds, it doesn't matter. The "Cheese Flower" is like a cupcake shaped sweet bread slathered with a butter cream cheese frosting that is lightly sweet and a tiny bit salty. Damn, that was good. Also tried the ube cupcakes and it's a fist fight for which one is better, though I think the cheese flower may win. This is not a place to visit when on a diet. UPDATE: I have now been introduced to the turon and WOW! A sweet banana piece wrapped in an eggroll type wrapper, deep fried, and then glazed, still leaving the turon crunchy. I haven't had anything bad from this place. read more

Turon. Turon. Turon. It's perfect. It's affordable. It's a phillipino banana dessert where they cover the banana in pastry, deep fry it, then glaze it with honey and crack cocaine. I might be wrong about the crack cocaine, but I do lie in bed at night planning on when I can eat one again. I read the reviews that staff are mean and especially to white people. I'm a white 43 year old female, the gal behind the counter was young and friendly. She didn't overcharge. She divided my order into three as I asked. I tipped well. Would def go back. read more

Made a detour to Vallejo because our friends in Crescent City asked for some pan de sal. Saw that this Valerio's branch was the closest to our route so off we went to find them. As is usually the case, they are located by a Jollibee restaurant and a Seafood City market. Some Notes: $10 minimum to use credit card Fairly clean Clerk was okay $2.25 for a package of pan de sal. Turon for 65 cents is not too good Returning factor is good if I lived close by or friends requested pan de sal again. read more

I love this Valerio's location! I love it even more so after they gave it a face-lift, which made the store look and feel a little more spacious. They have all my baked goodies that I love to binge on when I do actually come here. However, I'm not too wild about their siopao, which is my favorite snack item. Overall, the prices on their items are reasonable and they have consistently given me great service, which is why I keep coming back. read more

The best bakery in vallejo!!! Get ready to experience the customer service with old ladies ringing you up in the register--- No smile, no hi.. just plain old "i hate life and i hate you" look. Yep. I didn't even do nothin but say hello. This happens everytime and it just gives me a kick coz i know that this will happen already. It's just hella funny! I go back for the breads and cold treatment, its insanely hilarious! One thing that I do not like about this place is that they still have a minimum $10 if using credit card. To the owner of this place whose probably filthy rich, just stop. Stop the greediness. Please. You got a ton of customers already. I give you 4 stars because the goods are good but I am also hoping there will be smiles from the old ladies and just remove the minimum $10 okay. read more

You should already know what you want before you step up to order or let others go ahead if you cant decide what you want. I love to get the Empanadas and my family loves the Pinapple Flowere pastries. I try to get something different each time but I always get about 10 empanadas and I'm happy that I have a snack for later or lunch. It's very reasonably priced. CASH ONLY. read more

Pan de sal heaven. I love this place for all the random things they put into their pan de sal! I've seen adobo, spam, cheese... you name it, they put it in the bread. :) I love their chicken empanadas and their puto. Heck, I will venture to say that everything here is good! Wish they took debit cards. read more

I usually come in first thing in the morning ~8am . The door to the kitchen is right behind the cashier counter and it's always open. You can see through the kitchen area from just standing in front of the cashier . What really grossed me out , I saw how the siopao (stuff steam white bread) was being prepared . They would scoop the meat using their hands with no gloves nor a scooper and stuff the white rolled out bread and shape it with bare hands . It almost want me to vomit seeing this process . All these years I had been buying this for our family and never realized how they make them. All things came into my mind and how disgusted I was . I stopped buying the siopao since then. My intent of writing this review is to share my experience and of course it's all up to you to decide what your take on this . read more

This place is known for their pan-de-sal. Very tasty rolls but nothing special....its equivalent to a more firm, less sweet hawaiian bread. I guess i was expecting something different. Chicken and beef (filipino) empanadas are the draw here for my family...its shredded meat filled with raisins and the pastry having a hint of sweetness...i also enjoy the jack fruit/banana in egg-roll wrapper, deep fried and glazed with sugar syrup with a slight crunch. Yum! They now accept CREDIT CARDS! :) read more
