I went to Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop looking specifically for Señorita bread, and it ended up being way more of an experience than I expected. First off, the place is super cute but also kind of overwhelming in the best way. There are literally walls of bread and pastries everywhere, and so many options that I didn't even know where to start. I went in planning to spend just a few bucks on Señorita bread and somehow walked out $20 deep with a whole box of stuff. I ended up trying turon, a puto sampler, a bunch of different donuts, and of course the Ube Señorita bread. Honestly, everything was so good. Like fresh fresh. The bread was still warm in my hands, which made it even better. The staff didn't really speak much English, but it honestly wasn't an issue at all. They were super patient and helpful, and still managed to explain what everything was so I could try new things. At the end, I just told one of the ladies I had $20 and wanted to try a variety, and she literally put together a whole selection for me. That was probably my favorite part. The line was kind of long, but it makes sense because the food is clearly worth it. If anything, it just reassured me I was in the right place. Overall, if you're even thinking about trying Señorita bread or just want to explore Filipino pastries, this spot is 100 percent worth it. Just be prepared to go in for one thing and walk out with way more. read more

Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop - Outside - Bakeries Near Me - Milpitas, California

Been coming out here for the past nine years the best part is that they're open at 6 in the morning even on the weekends is the best time with light traffic and business not yet open. The ladies are so superb service has been top notch no complaints and I can smell the freshly bake breads. My favorites are the Spanish bread commonly known as a señorita bread stuffed with buttery breadcrumbs and brown sugar a great breakfast snack goes very well with halo-halo a traditional Filipino dessert then there's a hopia monggo stuffed with mung bean paste, hopia ube both 4 for $5.99 and chicken empanada for a mere $3.25 which had pork and beef but everything else is well stock and organized they even have drinks. Valerio's Tropical Bakery is on my top list of freshly baked Filipino bread rolls. read more

Great venue for Filipino baked goods, pastries, and desserts! Prices have steadily gone up due to inflation but it's always a must have when it's holiday season. Pretty packed around a Sunday afternoon with so many people getting last minute desserts for holiday dinners. My family loves their dessert platter and I love their ube crinkles. All natural and fresh to order each day. read more

Customer service is fine and their baked foods are also great. This is just a review for the palabok: Ive been buying their palabok here for a couple years now but this particular palabok i ordered today smelled and tasted like dog food. Not sure if the chef changed but theres something about this one today that tastes old and different. read more

Love this place! I come here mainly to satisfy my turon cravings and usually get like 8-10 turon at a time to hit their minimum spend for using credit card instead of cash (cash only below $10 I believe). I love that their turon is the perfect level of sweet, and the crisp on the outside is just *ugh* so good. My favorite part is that the turon actually holds its crisp pretty well, like a few days even, and it also reheats well in the air fryer too! This is helpful since I tend to buy more than I eat in a day haha, so I end up saving them for throughout the week. Prices are fair, and the inside is clean. They have a huge variety of Filipino desserts/pastries on display too, and they tempt me every time. Would definitely recommend if you're craving sweets! read more

I bought this literally yesterday afternoon, 9/13, and its 9/14 and there is literal mold all over this suman. this costs 11$ and it gets bad after not even 24 hours? i am genuinely in shock and feel sick because i come here all the time. seriously this is revolting. read more

This review is strictly regarding Valerio's pandesal [filipino sweet rolls]. A big thank you to my Father-in-law for always being ready and willing to make the drive to Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop in order to satisfy my little monster's cravings for these delicious baked rolls. Whether you are in need of a quick breakfast, craving for a hearty sandwich, or simply demanding carbs, I highly recommend the pandesal. The rolls of breads are generous in size, very versatile to work with at any meal [whether it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner], and are so very filling. They are made fresh and are ALWAYS fluffy and soft. The parking situation is plentiful but be advised that foot traffic can be tough depending on your time of visit. Service isn't great nor is it friendly but our visits are quick so I try not to let it bother me too much. 4 stars specifically for the taste and quality. Pricing isn't going to break the bank either!! WHOO HOO!!!! read more

I enjoy going to this location. They have fresh out of the oven pandesal (bread). Once in a while I purchase fresh bread and other treats for my family. There's a lot of variety of breads and desserts (sweet or savory). You have to go here early when it a a major holiday. Be prepared for the long lines. Sometimes the line is outside the door. There are employees restocking often, manning the registers or even in the back of the bakery. read more

I love Filipino baked goods. The items that stand out here for me are their ube type pastries. They carry so many kinds of Filipino desserts, bread, and pastries. This place can get busy during the weekend. It's a small bakery in the Seafood City plaza. Parking lot shared with other businesses. read more

Service here very poor. The women that works there are rude and unfriendly. Specially the cashiers. They need to get some training on how to be courteous and thankful. We are paying customers, we don't beg for your merchandise. You are in America already. read more

Whenever we are in the area we always have to stop by. This is the second place where I like to get hopias. I like the ones they have here compared to other places we tried. This place is always super busy. Every time we stop by there is a long line but it goes by pretty quick. They didn't have the hopias pre packaged and they are quite pricey too. One order is only 4 pieces and cost $5.89. I ordered 2 orders of the hopia monggo and 1 order of hopia ube for my uncle. read more

I love visiting Valerio's when I visit my hometown. I was excited to find that they have the same bakery in northern California. These are what I purchased during my recent trip: Ube pan de sal - The bread is perfectly moist and fluffy. It is not too sweet and there is plenty of ube flavor. There are a lot of rolls that come in each bag. Ube bread - Each bread roll is filled with ube paste with just the right ratio of both to ensure a bit of ube with every bite. The paste is not overly sweet, which is what I like about this bread. Hopia ube - Ube paste in a light, flaky pastry. There is definitely more Ube than pastry. Again, like the ube bread, the paste was not overly sweet. They had a ton of other baked goods that I haven't tried yet. That just means I'll be back! The shop is clean and organized. They share a parking lot with Seafood City and several other small shops and restaurants, so parking can be a bit tough during peak times. read more

For all your Filipino bakery needs, Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop is my family's go to. I love how when you walk in, you get a smell of the baked goods. They're all individually wrapped and there are some on display. I love anything Ube (for the culture) and they have ube ensaymada, ube basket, ube pan de sal -- pretty much alllll the things! Notable other baked goods include the line apply cheese cream, siopao, puto, sapin sapin... and many others! They're reasonably priced and well loved by my family! read more

1 star - Ube crinkle cookies looked good in the display case but as I started chewing it, it tasted like a very undercooked cookie or the pasty filling inside the ube de pan. It was a very rich scary purple color (imagine how much food coloring is in this) yet there was not even a hint of ube flavor. Very disappointing! I've eaten ube crinkle cookies from a Mexican restaurant that tasted 100% better and it tasted like what you'd expect an ube crumble cookie would taste like. 1 star - Cassava cake was just too sweet and lacking cassava/cassava flavor. These bakery items seem to just be full of sugar and food coloring and less of actual ube and cassava. Haven't been here in 7 years. Won't be coming back at all. read more

It was highly recommended by my sister, but was very disappointed in the quality of the buko pie. The bottom crust was raw and the buko was nonexistent. It was just cornstarch, sugar and a little coconut flavor. $12.99 down the drain. The pan de ube was good and reasonably priced. $6.19 for six. Don't be deceived by the size of the large siopao ( the largest I've ever seen!). Mostly dough and the meat filling had a small trace of egg. Overpriced at$12.99 for 4. Too little space for customers to browse. Too much merchandise was piled up, with no rhyme or reason. read more

Freshly baked breads all day. Went it around 4 pm Sunday evening they were still baking fresh bread. It's nice to know even though it was close to closing time. They still have fresh bread being made. Must grab a basket when you enter, because after growing the shelves, you will definitely grab more than 1 thing. Make sure you browse online or come prepared to look quick, it can get quite busy and packed with people get their baked goods. Thankfully we ve been here and already know their TURON! Hands down. Crispy, delicious, & not too sweet. Will return for future family parties just for the turon read more

Now I get it. I understand why there are lines out the door. Signature item is pan de sal. Dinner rolls. You get the hot out of the oven softness without artificial fillers like the commercial industrialized products. You can get a half order which is 3$ ish. They are soft and not as sweet as kings Hawaiian bread. Bit salty. They come in different variations with pineapple, egg, etc but adding those other extras means the texture changes. There is whole wheat pan de sal and enriched flour pan de sal. They differ in size and texture the empanadas are good; get a single one to try or the come in large packs. If you like kings Hawaiian bread this is a must try; find a freshly baked pack in the morning. Can't duplicate that melt in mouth texture after it cools. The packaging should look puffed up like a balloon. read more

Get the ube pan and the cheese pan! The pimento cheese pan isn't bad either but we prefer the regular cheese pan.

Wooowww. I came here purely for the turon but I do wish that I got more. They have such a wide variety of baked goods at low price points, it's no wonder lines are so long here. Don't be intimidated by the long lines though as it moves extremely fast. It's located in the same plaza as the large Seafood City. The parking lot is huge so that isn't too much of a worry either. In the store, they are only limiting 10 guests at a time but the inside of the store itself is actually pretty small already. My favorites at Valerio's are the ube pandesal and the turon. Once again, everything is extremely affordable. The turon is crisp and sweet and is also filled with jackfruit. The pandesal is light and fluffy as well. It is 100% worth trying if you're ever in the area! read more

It's a very small bakery to go to, but they really serve good bakery items here. My favorites are Pan De Ube and one of the big dinner rolls that look like mushrooms. There is one item I want, but I think that they don't have it and don't even know the name of it. I do know how it looks like. Hopefully when I come back, they have it. read more

It was so fun going in to see all the different varieties of Filipino pastries and desserts. I was craving ube, so I went in and had a shopping spree. Everything was good, but wasn't as strong on the ube as I hoped. I also got their turon, which was crispy and delicious. read more

I was so impressed with the Valerio in Daly City that I sought after other Valerios in the Southbay.  But unfortunately for me, the Daly City store turned out to offered better tasting baked goods than the other stores.  Not all stores by the same name are the same. Cheese Balls - Sweet soft bread filled with cream cheese and topped with cheddar cheese streusel.  This was my favorite item from this store. Ube Basket - Bread and ube fillings weaved into layer rolls.  Somehow, the breading here is plain.  I bought this same item from the Daly City store where the bread is sweeting and softer, so much better than the ones from this Milpitas store. Puto Flan - Egg custard on top of flavor rice cake (flavors I got were ube, coconut, pandan).  It was good, I enjoyed it but not great. read more

Hot pan de sal!! Can never go wrong with hot pan de sal. You never leave this place with one or two items. Great pastries! I usually get a few bags of pan de ube for my kids and friends which they always love for a snack. Spanish bread is so good! They've your usual Filipino pastries and desserts. Sometimes we like to pick up some palabok they have. Service is quick and usually, there's always a line but the staff are efficient and get you checked out of there pretty quick. The smell brings you in! Everything is against the walls so the middle area is open and you pick what you want as you wait in line! read more

Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop - The haul - Bakeries Near Me - Milpitas, California

Specializing in Filipino baked goods We stopped by this bakery in Milpitas before heading to San Jose for Shen Yun. The bakery is small and tight inside as racks and racks were placed against the wall/window and the middle section and filled with a variety of freshly baked Filipino breads and pastries including their hot pandesal! Yummy! Filipinos are getting creative and I saw this putchinta... wth is it? It's a combination of puto and kutsinta which are normally two different snacks or 'kakanin' LoL! Stocked up on some favorites. Purchased some mamon and other baked goods. These don't last long on our kitchen counter so I wish we have a Valerio's Bakery nearby... well, we do but the baked goods in the Bay Area seem to be more fresh than the one in Sacramento, which is closest to me in Roseville. Located in the Milpitas Mall Shopping Center. Great strip mall for donuts, bakery, and food and lots of Filipino stores in the area. They also have counter-service restaurants such as Grill City, Goldilocks and Chowking nearby. There are plenty of parking. Review #1747 read more

I always come for the Ube Pandesal from this location. They normally have it in stock every time I visit. If I'm lucky to come in the afternoon they have fresh HOT pandesal. There's just something about this location's pandesal that always stays soft and chewy. Bring cash if you plan to spend less than $10. Otherwise your credit card may incur a fee. read more

Needs to be 0 stars. Can't trust the food or the people Hair inside empanada. Also the laziest person in the world at the register lying to my wife saying no tax. How do they not know how to push buttons and add the real price for the items and lie that there is no tax. Fraud business needs the government to flag them for tax evasion. Then tricking my wife and charging 6 pork buns when she only bought 3. Disgusting behavior of these people taking advantage of my wife because she is dyslexic and unable to read the receipt. read more

Love this place! Great variety of baked goods! I keep going back. I cannot find another place like this, it's so awesome!

Visited this bakery on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy! Which is always a good sign. This place specializes in Filipino style baked goods, a lot of ube bread, dessert, etc. Everything looks good and fresh-baked. I got their chicken empanada and pork bun, pretty good! I would definitely come back again to try their ube baked desserts. Note - If you're paying with card, you need to spend $10 minimum. If you're just getting a couple things, maybe consider carrying some cash. read more

Came here for the Turon and I was blown away. I just love how this place exists man. The Turon is so sweet and nice crisp to them. I love it. I like how they sell a pack of 12. My favorite dessert currently. Highly recommend going here if you enjoy Turon. I want to return and try other items. Hopefully the photos look nice! read more

Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop - a close up of a dish of food - Bakeries Near Me - Milpitas, California

I ordered bitso-bitso, halo-halo, and more stuff. Before they made my halo-halo, the staff chatted for a bit. So we waited patiently for the halo-halo. When they served the halo-halo at the counter, we took the plastic bag of the stuff we bought and left. I was so excited to eat the bitso-bitso, but little did I know, they didn't put it in the bag. My faith in humanity is destroyed!!!! Also, why do they even ask for a tip??? It's not as if they served it for us to eat at a table. read more

This is the place to be at to fulfill all of your Filipino baked goods/dessert cravings. My favorite items are the ube roll, ube biko, and their hopia. Be sure to get the hopia in the display case though--it's more fresh then the already prepackaged ones in my opinion. If you're a fan of ube, I'm sure something here will catch your attention. Although it's one of my top faves, the ube biko can be a hit or miss. During my most recent visit, the rice was a bit maybe undercooked?... and even after warming it in the microwave, it didn't have that soft, chewy rice texture. But, nonetheless I'm still a fan of this bakery. read more

This is one of my favorite bakeries to go to. It's my go to place for pan de sal and hard-to-find Filipino desserts like puto bung bung and ginataang bilo bilo, mais, or munggo. I just found my new favorite!!! It's called pret-sal. Their take on the pretzel bun. It's so good!! It's not as soft or airy as their pan de sal, but also not as chewy as a pretzel bun. It's got just the right amount of salt too. I hope they keep making this. I'm going back for more!!! read more

I was really impressed with the pastry offerings here! I've recently visited many Valerio's bakeries around the Bay Area and this is one of the better ones. They offer a ton of different traditional Filipino pastries and breads. Some of the best items I got: Ube Pastillas Seniorita, Bibingka, Puto Leche Flan, Cassava Cake and Ube Haba Haba. All items were fresh, tasted great and had the perfect amount of sweetness. The place is clean and one walks into a place with the great aroma of freshly baking bread. Everything is reasonably priced and it's easy to find something that interests you. On my next visit, I'm looking forward to trying other items! read more
