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
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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!
What errands trip to seafood city be without picking up pan de sal from Valerio's. Shop is small so only a few customers are allowed at a time, but it's a quick grab and go spot with always fresh bread. They also have some Filipino desserts and Siapao. Give it a try!

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

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

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

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
