Starbread

Hot and fresh Señorita bread. I got the 25 for $20 dollar box. 😋 take out only.

I give this bakery chain a 10/10. If you come early morning and get a chance to try this warm and fresh, you’re in for a treat. These are warm, buttery, sweet bread, that I can’t eat enough of. The Cassava cake is so good as well, filled with coconut, and very sweet

Food is amazing, no doubt. Service isn’t great at all. I called the store to see if I could put in an order before hand, before I could ask my question the woman on the phone kept interrupting me by answering questions I didn’t ask. It seemed as she was trying to rush me off the phone. So I came in person to ask if I can order before hand, and if they had orders of the cream cheese senorita bread. Again, before I could ask both questions she said “No” multiple times in a rude and aggressive manner. I just bought a 45 piece box of senorita bread then she apologized after I bought it. It was the weirdest rudest interaction I’ve ever had there. I won't be coming back. Good food doesn’t outweigh poor service.

First time trying the Señorita bread, it’s pretty good. They’re really soft, buttery, and a good kick of sugar. Some might argue they are too sweet, but I like it. 15 pieces for $6. Cash only. They are on the small side so get more than you think you want.

We were introduced to a Philipine style pastry called señoritas and wow! We had to come buy 2 boxes of these deliciouse pastrie! Awesome. Totally recommend you give them a try.

I decided to buy senorita bread yesterday. The last time I visited this store was before the pandemic. I've there maybe a 100 times. No complaint with customer service and their bread was always fresh, moist, and soft. But yesterday, the cashier lady seems moody. She looks irritated when I ask her about one of their product. She handed me my change and did not hear "thank you". So I said, thank you to her, still she did not say anything. When I open my box, the bread was burned and it's dry. It's nothing like before.

Love the bread. It's delicious and make your morning breakfast even better like hearing birds chirping around with each bite.

This place is the place! The warmest and most delicious fingers of sweet bread. Haven’t tried the pies yet but I hear they are also awesome😋

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...)

I went in this morning at 6:05am for 25 pieces and only received 24. I only noticed it when I got to the office. I should've counted before I left. And it was so oily.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Best bread EVER!!' Texture and flavor, they got it all! And it's affordable to put the cherry on top.

Finger licking goooooood!!!!!!! Mmmmmmmmmm Can't wait to go back Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Princess bread... addictive! I bought five pieces; I ate five pieces. I think you get the idea.

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!

The only bad thing I can say about this place is that the bread is addicting. You'll have one piece and then all of a sudden, the whole box is gone. Whoops! The service is great and the rolls always come nice and fresh and served hot!

It's really good The service is not that bad The star bread is really soft so it gave in ambiance.

Their soft sweet rolls are amazing. I also bought a chocolate mousse cake which was great. Located right next door to a Mexican restaurant. A go to spot for pastries.

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.

Get the senorita bread. Period. Nice shop full of free smells and even better baked goods. Cakes, breads, cookies galore... But that senorita bread. Soft, sweet, delicious. Drool worthy. Hits just right. That bread itself is a hidden gem. Go. Go now.

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.

Señorita Bread never disappoints! You walk through the door and are completely seduced my how good it smells. A friendly baker will take your order (you buy several at a time, not individually), pop it in the oven, and come back in 5 minutes with warm, creamy, little bit crunchy deliciousness. Don't think, just go.

SERVICE: Went here early in the morning. I heard a lot of great things about their señorita bread. After going inside a lady was just leaving and one guy was waiting for their items. There was no one at counter. I was waiting for 10 minutes until someone helped. I've worked at bakeries before were it gets pretty busy opening the store, and I just don't think that it's cool to have people wait just to be even greeted. Someone could've just greeted and stated there was a little wait. Once the lady helped me with my order she wasn't very friendly. Almost annoyed. I was still nice to her but my interaction didn't make me feel welcome. SEÑORITA BREAD: At the end of all that the señorita bread was MEH. It tasted over fermented. I don't think it's supposed to be sour dough right? Also it was a little too sweet for my taste. It was edible. Rather disappointing experience and product. I'd have to try other locations to see if it's really worth the hype.

The senorita bread melts in your mouth! It is warm, soft and comforting. A great addition to tea or as a desert on a cold day. Will definitely order some again.

Love senorita bread ! Dotn feel like making breakfast but don't want a donut ? Get this ! Got a school or work potluck ? Get this ! Sooo fresh , hot and ready. If there is a wait the max is about 5min. ENJOY !

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!

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!).

Oh my fresh fresh and hot. You will definitely get in trouble with this bakery and keep coming back. Star bread is so good. Be careful, I warned you . So good.

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! :)

I remember starbread bakery. It had the buttery silk warm bread that reminded me of a thicker version of my homemade cinnamon sugar toast. That's what I remember.... Maybe it was a mirage. Because I traveled over a few cities, suffered through 80 highway traffic to end up with an oily sweet bread with an interesting odor at the end. I am confused. There is no way that this is the bread they are selling. This isn't the bread I remember... nah I had the bread before... it was buttery, silky.... Dang near sex appeal because it came out that powder pink box glistening... even saw the little twinkle. But this bread at this visit is very much... the cousin twice removed. I was disappointed... I have to try again. I miss that bread.

Best way to a nurses heart... her stomach. always a great way to show appreciation to your fellow healthcare workers. Especially fitting for Nurses Week!! ‍

$18 for 30. Prices and quality is great. I buy Starbread for work. Everyone is impressed. Wish there were a location in El Cerrito. Worth the drive regardless

5 out of 5! Why?? Because they're always consistent every time I come here for the señorita bread! Baked fresh and made to order, and the guy who works up front is always polite and works as fast as he can to dish out the freshly baked good to his customers. This is the ONLY Starbread I been to that makes their bread fresh everytime compared to pleasant hill and Vallejo. It's always hot and fresh and quality is consistent

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!

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.

I love Starbreads. I'm not sure if the fact that there are not a lot of them is a good thing or bad thing. They're always crowded, like this one, because the people that know about them and want their senorita breads come here a lot. I suspect if this was more well known there might be more locations around, but I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Do not ever want these little pieces of heaven to ever be altered. Been here many times. Nice folks running it. But yeah, I try not to eat these a lot because I do not want to weigh 300 pounds. If I had to weight 300 pounds for some reason, then I'd be here every day. Again, little slices of heaven, these senorita breads.

Seniorita bread is Crack ! That's all I gotta say it's so gooood . Liquid GOLD The seniorita is made fresh and should be eaten fresh !!! Other bakery items are served as well such as Macaron , cheese cake , cheese danish etc . Not a huge selection of other bakery items but everyone usually comes for seniorita bread as they should . Quick notes Location : plaza parking No phone call for pick ups Pick up only location

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and had the opportunity to visit there this morning around 9am. There are physical distancing signs on the door and the staff member who helped me was wearing a mask, which I appreciated. In addition to the original senorita bread, the display shelves had bread with fillings of Nutella, cream cheese, and pineapple. I ordered the original, Nutella and cream cheese. My favorite was the original. Although it was smaller in size in comparison to the Nutella or cream cheese bread, I enjoyed the taste more and loved that it was still warm. I'm sure the others would have been great also if they were warm but the bread was not as soft. Pros: -parking lot (free) -original was my favorite! -reasonably priced -accept credit cards Cons: -$10 minimum to use credit cards

Seniorita bread is off the chain. Every order is made fresh, so you'll be waiting a few minutes while they're getting your order together.

If I'm going to be in the area, I always make sure I make time to stop by Starbread Bakery. I always get a box of 25 and it never lasts for more than a day or two (shared, I swear!). Lightly sweet, and buttery -- a comforting and simple treat. I tried to call ahead this time and was told that they don't take phone orders. It was fine, luckily they didn't sell out by the end of the day. Looking forward to my next excuse to go and get another box!

Loved the bread!! The sweet cream filling was amazing, and the chicharon was the best I've ever had...oh and also got the box of 25. Gone in 2 days...

Wish we had one in the SFV closest one to me is in Anaheim but so worth the drive even if it was just to bring it back home to LA.

Love this place! I go there once every week to get Nutella breads . Unfortunately they don't have it all the time but when they do I sure to have some for my self.

Starbread never fails. You can order for your coworkers, gatherings, in fact, I'm going to grab some this Friday. If you haven't tried their bread, you must. Crisp, warm, fresh, affordable, and delicious. This is not a place to sit down and eat, but it's worth grabbing a box or two, or three or four.

No explanation needed just go get some it's worth everything lol soooooooo good !!!!! It's bad living right down the street from them

I haven't been here in a long time and if you ever had senorita bread you'd understand. These delicious hot sweet bread are sooo addictive that if you don't watch how many you eat the box will disappear. They are cheap andcgreat either alone or with coffee.

First come first serve for the Fruit Tarts .. delicious all the time. I don't like sharing .. lol . The hours are great.

Quick take: if you haven't.... you should. My co-worker brought in a big box of señorita bread not once but twice!!! I definitely feel the carby love. Warm yummy goodness from these little buttery and sweet bread is amazing. The size is deceiving....packed with enough deliciousness to be French bread loaf sized. Omg, just try and only eat 1. I dare ya! So if you haven't...you should.

Why did I think 5 pieces of Señorita bread was going to be way too much? When you bite into these warm rolls of buttery goodness, you will just melt. Then you'll be like oh they're tiny, have another. Oh that second one was so good, May as well have a third. Then it becomes, let's finish this off because it can't be as delicious cold or reheated. Got rid of the evidence (bag) and I can't wait until the next time. How do they do this and keep it so fresh? Must go and eat on the spot. You won't regret it. Sorry no pics, too busy doing research.

super freaking good & fresh!!! the bread is buttery, sweet, soft, warm and flavorful. i try to go as much as i can because i'm super addicted to the bread. i always make sure to get a big box for me and my family to share. (also heres a tip if you have leftovers.. when the bread gets cold you can microwave it to be warm so that you can get that freshly oven baked feeling back.) the service is great too & the smell of the bread when you walk in is so nice seems like a chill atmosphere. personally i love it. especially the bread.

I stop by this bakery pretty often. They are consistent with their starbread seniorita bread recipe every time. w/ COVID regulations they only allow 6 people inside at a time. But the line goes by fast &they always have a fresh batch ready to go. I've never had to wait for the bread to bake. It's $10 min charge to use credit card so i usually get the 25 piece for $10. my bf loves starbread so I made the seniorita bread into a cake shape for his birthday. he loved it!

My coworkers have been talking about this señorita bread for so long and I'm wondering why I haven't tried it earlier. ITS SO GOOOOOD!!!! I honestly haven't had such a yummy sugary?? Salty??? Bread in so long. TRY IT!

Best señorita bread in the bay. Not even a contest. Fast service, great prices. But be warned, it's hella addictive

OMG. Sooooooooooo Goooood! We got here at 7:00 am. Always freshly made. Everyone enjoyed them. For our next potluck at work, I'm bringing these.
