Came in here today for the first time after looking up cakes on yelp for my dad's birthday, I went…read morewith the coffee tres leche cake, recommended to me by the extremely helpful woman working the front. Absolutely phenomenal cake, perfectly sweet but not too sweet, incredible texture and incredibly moist but not too wet like some tres leche cakes can be. Very impressed and felt like the price $45 was fair for such a fresh, delicious and big cake. We had half the cake left over from 6 adults and one child. My Dad loved it, thanks for the amazing cake and for being so helpful helping me pick which would be best. All around great experience and I can't wait to try other ones. They have tons of different flavors and if looking for something specific, i was told it's best to order ahead either online or over the phone. Which I'll definitely be doing the snickers tres leche for my Dad next.

I was excited to buy a cake for my husbands birthday and I wanted something different , I did not…read morewant the typical grocery store cake. I searched for bakeries and this one came up. They have a big variety of cakes all ready to go in their cake display. I chose the chocobombon since they didn't have any all vanilla cakes and this one had some vanilla in it and my husbands favorite is vanilla. I really liked that they had candles and cake decorations as well in the store and I bought a few Birthday embellishments which were all $1 each, great price! The staff was nice but not too friendly when I was trying to find out more about the cakes and flavors, I had to read the labels since she didn't provide me any details. The cake was just okay, it was very dense and a bit dry. The marshmallow frosting was a little thick and the overall flavors were definitely different but not sure I would get this flavor again. I would like to try a few more flavors and maybe a tres leches cake to see how those are. It is located in Chula Vista in a small shopping center, limited parking available.

Great bakery/coffee place super close to my house and located perfectly in the area…read more They have a wide variety of pastries sweet and not sweet, prepackaged sandwiches, whole cakes perfect for different events. There is even options for Vegan and Vegan/Gluten Free. They offer a variety of coffees a few Iced Teas. Ambiance is always busy with people even on a Saturday afternoon. Service is super fast! We got a Black Iced Tea and a variety of pastries since we were heading to a friend's house. I love the quality of the products here and the best for me is the freshness and that the sweets are not that sweet. They have only four small tables inside to sit and one outside. Lots of parking.

I picked the croissant donuts! They were delish! I arrived to the pickup spot and Kyu was kind and brought out my cake with care. He asked if I wanted candles and a cake cutter (complimentary). They do have a wide variety of pastries, freshly made coffee, and a clean store with a small seating area. I'll definitely be back for more treats!

This was my first time at Starbread Bakery the new location on Broadway in Chula Vista, CA…read more The first time I tried this bread was at a friend's party and thought it was so delicious. I was happy to see they opened a new location in my area. Starbread is a popular Filipino bakery in San Diego known for its signature "Señorita Bread." The bread is soft, buttery, and sweet. I ordered the 35 piece of Señorita Bread for $28. The bread sticks have a sweet filling inside and was a hit at my aunts house!! My freshly made order took about 3 minutes. The bakery was clean and provided great customer service. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

I stopped by looking for something sweet before work. My girlfriend searched for a bakery near…read moreChula Vista and we happened to find this place. I had tried their bread once before when a friend brought some to me, and I immediately recognized the logo. When we arrived, the bakery was spotless, bright, and welcoming. I couldn't remember what I had liked before, so I started looking through the display case full of donuts and ended up choosing almost every flavor! I also grabbed some of the butter sugar bread displayed near the front. The female employee was so nice and friendly. She asked if I wanted to try one of their most popular items, and that's when I discovered the famous Señorita Bread. It was served warm and tasted absolutely amazing. I loved it so much that I bought a whole box to share with my staff at my restaurant. Everything was delicious, and they were very generous with the fillings in the donuts. This is definitely my new favorite bakery, and I'll be coming back often. Highly recommend!

La Concha Bakery is one of my all time favorite panaderia's. Located in the heart of Chula Vista,…read moreit is a family-owned bakery that specializes in traditional pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), and custom cakes! Known for their fresh, daily-baked pastries, it features a self-service (tray-and-tongs) experience in a clean, welcoming environment! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Always making great recommendations for their customers! Parking can be a bit tricky with very few spaces available. Pricing is somewhat higher than it used to be, but then again so is everything else (like gas, lol). They have a great selection of conchas, polvorones, fresh bolillos, empanadas (chicken, beef, jalapeño cream cheese), and custom cakes! Typically, I get the empanadas de piña 10/10! They're so freaking delicious! They feature a golden, buttery, and flaky crust that shatters perfectly when bitten. Inside, they're filled with a rich, jammy pineapple filling that balances bright, tropical sweetness with a sharp, fruity tartness! Highly recommended!

I came in for the first time during Día de los Muertos and honestly the experience was a mix of…read morehighs and lows. The moment you walk through the door, the smell of fresh baked pan hits you and it is everything. The selection of pan dulce and bolillos had me feeling like I was back in Mexico City. So many options, beautifully displayed. That part alone almost made the trip worth it. But the customer service... yeah, I'm not the only one who noticed. I asked the lady at the register in Spanish if there was any chocolate pan de muerto and she completely ignored me. Like, didn't even look up. Just called someone from the back in Spanish, which, mija, I understood every word. The girl who came to help me was a little better but not much. She told me the chocolate pan de muerto was sold out, which fine, I get it, it was a holiday. But that's literally all you had to say. No smile, no "sorry we're out," nothing. Just took my money and that was that. The panadería itself deserves five stars. The staff needs some work. I'll probably go back for the pan because it really is that good, but I'm keeping my expectations low on the service side.

IYKYK... THE Ultimate GO TO spot for all the Southbay locals…read more Why? Because they have and are known for the MOST DELICIOUS FRUIT STRUDEL! Since the 90s this place has been the place for anyone in South San Diego to get their desserts for celebrations, birthdays, potlucks, holiday parties and more. One of a kind, and always fresh and consistent. Don't forget to get a ticket so that the staff can take care of you! Such a local vibe, and I love that it's not super hipster and still reminds me of "home".

Our family's bakery of choice for every special occasion !…read more Known for their fresh fruit strudle, this small bakery always has a line out the door. Grab your ticket but never wait more than 10-15min to have someone help you with your sweet selections. So many items to choose from and the staff here is always patient and willing to answer any questions you may have. My favorite items here are the strawberry short cake, key lime tarts, pineapple upside down cake and their black forest cake. Mind you I have tried so many other things but these are truly the best. They have a fridge stocked daily with ready to go items for faster check out. Truly cannot go wrong with this bakery.

They have baked goods as well as sandwiches u can order. Someone will ask u if u want baked goods first then u go down the counter to order drinks and sandos. Got the everything mochi bagel with cream cheese and the egg & chicken katsu sando. Everything mochi bagel 5/5: so fluffy and light yet still tastes like a bagel. Can be a lil salty on the top where the salt is but contrast with parts that dont have it. Egg sando 5/5: yummy and filling, has cucumber and the milk bread is thick and so fluffy! Chicken katsu sando 5/5: my favorite. I love the spicy mustardy sauce not sure if it's in the actual brown katsu sauce or separate mustard. My bf didnt like it but i loved it! Chicken also juicy and soft. The milk bread is so fluffy and lil sweet and perfect pairing. Interior has lots of tables and seating and they they also have an outdoor patio and they clean the tables frequently which is nice. Recommend!

I had really high hopes for this place but it unfortunately did not live up to the hype. Came here…read morefor dinner with a friend and it was pretty empty. Food/drinks 3/5: We got a strawberry matcha, truffle fries, the egg sando, and chicken katsu sando. The matcha was unfortunately super watery and you could barely taste any matcha. As a truffle lover, I was super excited for the fries, but both my friend and I agreed that we couldn't taste any truffle. The sandwiches although did save this meal. I did enjoy the egg one much more as the katsu one had a strong vinegary sauce that was overpowering the whole sando. Service/Ambiance 4/5: There was plenty of seating and the workers were nice. We were really hoping to try the shrimp sando but they were out. Don't think I will be coming back to try it though.

My daughter ordered the strawberries and Nutella crepes and they do not disappoint. Very generous on every aspect the fresh strawberries, the Nutella and the crepe. 4 star because my pear tea (which I drink hot) was kind of not so pleasant , almost like an instant tea flavor to it with a sweet taste that was not for me. Should have gone for the coffee with delicious grains staring at me on the top of the coffee machine.

Cute little cafe in downtown Chula Vista…read more This place is located on historic 3rd avenue amongst several little shops and restaurants. It's tiny but has a lot of charm...we usually grab the corner window seat to enjoy our desserts and drinks. My favorites: Strawberry Matcha, White Mocha, Coconut Cake, Fruit Tarts, Chocolate Mousse, Muffins and so much more. We usually come here to satisfy our sweet tooth after visiting La Bella Pizza Garden, which is a few doors down. Parking can get a bit tricky: they offer metered street parking as well as their own lot which you also have to pay for...with Sunday being the exception I believe. Service is fast and friendly. A-OK in my book!

This was our second time to visit this place and because we just had lunch a couple of doors down…read morewe could have done more damage here... like our first time here! So, if you never had a pandesal and you love bread, you must try this! Get them warm and fresh, with butter, OMG! But, they have so many other desserts and food bites to try. We specifically came for the fresh pandesal, which I was craving and my husband, the best, searched for a place to enjoy some fresh pandesal. This last visit we got Ensamayda (cheese roll) for our daughters. They also have the Ube Ensamayda. Besides the small sized pandesal we selected, we got a Mocha Roll too. Everything was delicious. I like the small sized pandesal but I could definitely eat the larger ones too. Parking is crazy here in this long strip mall full of food shops. Not only is parking crazy busy, but the spaces are small. You can find me back here at this Filipino Bakery when in the area!
