This is a cool, modern, bakery with all the types of pastries you could imagine. Want a slice of cake? They got it. Want something savory? They got it. Want some cookies? They got it. Want fresh coffee or a chai latte? They got it. The folks ordering in front of me seemed to be regulars, and I went with what they got which was an eclair (soo good) and some mango mouse cake thing which was divine. I overheard folks in line mention ordering online for an event, so you can order ahead of time on the website for cakes. I recommend this place. Heads up, not a ton of seating indoors...BUT it's a lovely neighborhood to walk up and down, and there's some seating, just not a ton. Parking is paid, but you may be lucky and snag a neighborhood curve.

I am so disappointed at the food changes and feeling bad to give a bad review as I love supporting small businesses and love Salvadorean food. There's a lot of room to improve. I've been eating Salvi food since I was child. If you order to go check before you leave. I had an item missing. I called and was able to get a refund. She handled it nice too since she forgot to add it. I took food to go. I added pictures on all. The tamales both chipilin and pork were good. The masa was excellent. The size was small to medium. The pupusas are tiny, they are good but nothing extraordinary. As they are small there's no cheese stretch or a good feel about the filling. The masa is good. The quesadilla pasty was crumbly, it did not feel fresh. It was dry with no flavor compared to ones I've eaten before. The best Salvi quesadillas are moist. The guava, pineapple, and custard empanada pastry were small. The pineapple one did not feel fresh, more on the dry side, crumbly compared to other flavors. The pork empanada was probably the worst. They were tiny with hardly any filling. The empanadas usually have a ground meat or shredded chicken. This one had pieces of pork so it was not flavorful at all. There's table seating indoors and outdoors. The yucca con chicharron was okay too. Usually it comes with a salad like but this one came with 1 beet, 1 slice of tomato and 1 slice of cucumber with a small bag of curtido. No sauce. Tip: The server gave me a business card and recommended to call for orders to go as the waiting time was 30 minutes. I did not mind waiting. I appreciated her sharing this. Tip: recommend the pork tamal. The pupusas if hungry get at least 3.

Was put onto Starbread Bakery and the famous senorita bread by my partner years ago and recently…read moregot 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.

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!

It didn't taste quite like banana pudding but definitely banana flavor. The edges were slightly crispy while the middle was buttery and chewy. Impressive and maybe worth it as a once-in-awhile-treat. It's $3ish per cookie which beats Crumbl in both quality and pricing. They have a few unique flavors (i.e. 7up, peach cobbler, etc.) which I understand rotate on a monthly basis. My sweet clients were really happy when they saw the box which was the cherry on top. Glad I can check off this Yelp bookmark and that they have several locations in my territory!

I ordered a gender reveal cake here for me and my wife. When we went to order, we brought the…read moregender in an envelope and told the person taking our order that we don't know the gender and we don't want to find out until we cut the cake. She was nice and helped us choose a cake that would meet our needs. I reminded her after the order was completed that I would be the one picking up the cake and I do not want it to be revealed what the gender is to me. When I went to go pick up the cake, the cake box was smaller than the cake so we couldn't close it properly to transport it safely. But I did notice pink on the top layer icing and I went back to the guy and asked him to cover it up. Instead of just covering the imperfection on an all white cake, he said you know the color on the inside is blue right? And i told him, no I don't but now the surprise is ruined. After being extra careful for a week to not know what the gender was going to be before the reveal. The person who packed the cake decided to get defensive about the imperfection on the all white cake and say what the color is on the inside. All I asked was to cover the imperfection so the cake is solid white like we ordered and not tell me what the color on the inside was. It was truly disappointing that they would try to argue the imperfection as it was clearly pink on top corner than to cover it with more white icing. Wouldn't recommend getting a gender reveal cake here. Truly ruined a good moment for us by having bad customer service skills.
