A week ago( first stop )bought 5 bags ( dozens) of kkbayan bread for myself and share sa mga 4 family. Yesterday my 2nd again bought 4bags and 1dozen of ensaymada to shre with friends ,i told them go get theirs bcoz really good. Asked for all hot bags ( was brown paper bag bcoz still warm ) i nicely asked if i could have the small plastic bag so i can put in those bread after it gets cool down to give to friends. Honestly i just had a good intention as a matter of fact I've told about 20 people about their place ,how good their bread but so disappointed with the answer ,we don't give out plastic bags because we have limit ..ok i understand that but oh common business owners it's just a small plastic bag,just very small/ fraction compare to the return your business can gets, customers will appreciate and come for more. Look sa other place ( Val...Bakery they do that smart way to do business) don't have to be that kuripot think of the return you can get,keo gi ma keo vay ma. Sayang I've been telling my friends and customers about this place ,so disappointed..I've sent few friends from stockton and nearby areas. Spanish and ensaymada..not good very dry ..not good only good here base on what I've tried was thekkbayan ..that's it. I'll go back to star bread for more and better Spanish brea. Keo qua vay ba chu read more

What is this? How can you even sell it? And for $10. This is the saddest cassava cake ever. Wife came home with this. The kids and I had a piece and the rest went in the trash. read more

Amazing Spanish bread . Great costumer service I been going here since I move in to Lathrop 2016

Food: Amazing Spanish bread. This is what I wish Starbread would be like. I don't like ube cheesecake either, but theirs was great! Service: Great service and straight forward. read more

They make an awesome pandesal even better than Valerio's & Goldilocks!!! after 1pm bakery is close that is how popular they are!! read more

Came and stopped by at this local bakery shop in Lathrop, everything was Freshly baked Buns and more.. satisfied!

Their Pandesal is the best. You need to order early in the morning to get your bag of Pandesal. You won't be disappointed.

Love the Spanish sweet rolls/star bread, found this place on the way home from work one day , 28 years ago when I moved to Stockton from the Bay Area . read more

Always the best. Pandesal, Spanish bread and ensaymada is one of my favorite bread, especially if the bread is warm. Try them now.

My family and I have been coming here for years. FRESH, WARM AND DELICIOUS! Sweet rolls and pandesal is our order. Must get there earlier to get them warm. If you don't, they do have some prepackaged. I have tried the ube cheesecake and that is ok. read more

try the star bread, its too damn good! came across this location just randomly and it was such a great stop. I ended up purchasing a dozen of the star bread rolls and regret nothing. They were so buttery and sweet and the pricing was fair all around. There wasn't much of a big selection but all of the options looked delicious!! read more

Their Spanish bread taste better and fuller than other bakery. You can pre-order and get it right away

Owners are friendly (they are the ones taking your orders too!), serves the best hot (and cold if you plan to have them later) pandesal and spanish bread. Their puto (filipino steamed rice cake) is one of the best I've had in the states and perfectly pairs up with my favorite dinuguan. Just wish they serve better coffee where I can dunk my pandesal into. Overall it's my go to place now instead of Starbread. read more

I just moved here from Bay area and tried the pandesal but folks here are so unfriendly as if you owe them favors. Terrible kababayan.

manong is very friendly and kind. i placed an order at 6am, told him that i was going to pick up my order before they close at noon. He didn't even ask for my name. i order a total of 9 bags of the variety breads that they make. manong u rock! read more

No frills. Come in to grab hot & freshly made Filipino bread rolls of salt (pan de sal) that are fluffy and tasty. Also carry señorita bread. Some of the fresh baked items go quick, but they package up for grab & go. Excellent with hot coffee or cocoa. read more

Spanish bread was dry and not of the quality I expected. It could be because it was old, perhaps day old. The sweet buttery paste was like a dry jelly. It wasn't buttery at all. I was really disappointed in the quality of the bread. The price was cheap so I wasn't too torn up over it but I didn't finish my bag of bread, I threw most of it out. The place gets busy over the holidays but overall, call ahead if you're afraid the bread is sold out. Every time I've come here, they're sold out of most of the other items. Either sold out or a limited menu due to the pandemic. The bakery is located in a gas station plaza. Parking is ample because most people don't stay long. It's located off the freeway, so that's convenient. Not sure if I would come here again for the Spanish bread, but the pandesal bread was good. For the Spanish bread, I'd probably drive 20 minutes further to Ling Nam/ Star bread in Tracy. Good service and good pandesal. read more

Since We moved in Lathrop in 2001, no one beats Bella's Pandesal, Spanish Bread and Kababayan(Filipino muffin) - definitely taste like home, actually better than in the Philippines read more

Love the warm pandesal and my favorite is the kababayan. Yummy! Reasonably price and the staff always greets me with a smile. Only thing is, I think the place needs a scrub down to make it more inviting and pleasing to the eye. As it is, it's dingy looking. It's very surprising coz they are Filipinos...notorious for things being clean. read more

Found this place while getting gas ran in to see what they sold. Bread!! Got a pack of Spanish rolls and pan de sal they were good probably would be fire if you get them right when they are made hot , soft and fresh read more

Simple bakery. Yummy Spanish Rolls! Bought 5 dozens for my work at 7 am and they were fresh out of the oven. Friendly staff & great service! Definitely will be back! read more

Best Spanish bread in the valley. Very unassuming space but cranks out the best pinoy style Spanish rolls.

Great tasting breads. The owners and employees are sweet. Appreciate that they open very early.

My family has been buying pandesal here since I was 10. I'm 32 now. It's where my love for Spanish bread started.

Fresh hot Filipino rolls were delicious. Great price for a lot of rolls too. I will go again.

John L.'s pictures popped up as I yelped for quick breakfast through the Tracy/Lathrop area, and I had to stop by. It's been almost 10 years since I was there last and honestly forgot all about it. Bella's is located in a little strip mall right off I-5 near 205. The outside is small and unassuming, as is the inside. There are only a handful of choices and you can buy by the dozen (which is the easiest). Sure it's divey, but one doesn't come for ambience. One comes for the fresh baked pan de sal and fresh baked Spanish rolls. The pan de sal has great chew and just a touch of sweetness. They bake them fresh everyday and even though it was already 11am, the rolls we bought were still warm. Of course, the Spanish rolls are so delicious...small, warm and sweet filled with butter and sugar. Nom with a cup of coffee. My kids inhaled these like popcorn. Still, as per John L., Starbread just opened up in Tracy and suggests I buy a box to compare. Will do, John, will do. read more

Family favorite!! We always make a point to come to this bakery when we are in the area. Their pandasal and Spanish bread is soooo good.

I would say this is the best Filipino bakery that I've been to and I've been to quite a few in the Bay Area as well as LA county. I stopped by as I was driving along the 5 FWY headed north and looked up all the local places on yelp mobile and this place popped up. I was so excited to see that they had spanish rolls and pan de sals when I entered the plain bakery! The place it self isn't the least bit fancy but the food and service is what really counts right?!? The staff they're were all so sweet. Next time I make a trip I wish for sure drop by. Lastly, I must say I had the best spanish rolls and pan de sals hands down that I've ever tried... IN MY LIFE!!! read more

This maybe the best alternative to the Starbread Señorita Bread since the closest one is about 50 miles away. We always get their Spanish Breads and the Kababayans (corn muffins) by the dozen (or two). I won't mind driving up I-5 for these. Definitely a fan! read more

Been here a couple times. Customer service is cool yet unexpected. Most Filipino shops have rude ass employees!! I'm like dayum yall need to chill. Breads always fresh tasting. I always get the Spanish rolls, pan de sal and kababayan bread. Location is weird. Right off the freeway in a small rundown plaza by Valeros gas station. Lathrop's hidden gem! I guess it's good for the commuters to grab breakfast. read more

Wanted to know what all this hype was about. Raised in Daly City but moved to the Central Valley, I had to find out if their stuff was any good. It WAS !!! They open at 5am every day, and you have to get there as early as you can or else they sell out !!! Nothing beats hot, fresh Pan de Sal. But, as with previous yelpers, their Spanish Rolls "are to die for" and really "melt in your mouth." I'm so happy there is a local, Filipino bakery in this part of San Joaquin County !!! read more

Love this place! The pandesal is same as in the Philippines! Better than Valerio's!!! The best Pandesal in the USA!!

Even when the location is kinda tricky this hidden gem is a MUST stop if you are in the area. You do have to come in early because everything is so fresh and yummy but also because you dont have to risk the chance of missing out on some señorita bread or the muffins!!! Everything here is worth coming for specially if you take a drive like me all the way from woodland. Definitely recommend supporting this family business you wont regret it read more

My friend told me about this place, I did not know I had to go earlier and they run out of "señorita" when I got there on Sunday around 11:00am Owners were so friendly and advised me to come early or call ahead to reserve some !!! When I got bag of fresh vanilla muffins ( they were delicious by the way!) they gave me all they had left of "señorita" for free! And they were as great as muffins. So kind of them!!!! read more

I'm coming from the Bay Area today to grab some hot Spanish rolls for my trip to Tahoe this will be my first stop today haven't been here in five years this place is the business a must try if your in the area they have a variety go try today... so I went this morning and it was amazing oh how I miss these Spanish are rolls so good glad I came By read more

We came here at 5am in the morning and we bought pan de sal and Kababayan bread. The pan de sal was tasty, fresh and warm. It really tasted like the Philippines! I loved it! We had some left over pan de sal that evening, but it was still as good as when we bought it. Makes me want to go back again even if I live 41 miles away from there. :) The Kababayan bread was also very tasty and moist. It breaks easily, but I think that's just how it is. One bag has 12 pieces. I opened the bag in the morning, but by the end of the day there was only 4 pieces left. It was just my boyfriend and I eating it. It's that good! :) I would definitely go back again. There's a few Filipino bakeries in my town. This is the first Filipino bakery that really got my taste especially when it comes to Pan de sal. There's nothing better than some fresh and warm pan de sal just like in the Philippines. Yummmmmm! ;) read more

Bella's Bakery - Their Kababayan bread is so goooooooood! - Bakeries Near Me - Lathrop, California

Delicious fresh bread. We drive from Stockton early in the morning to get fresh bread.

People are amazingly friendly. The little buns of bliss are insanely good. Location is a bit challenging and that is the 4 star instead of 5. read more

Always buy pandesal and kababayan bread whenever in the area. Really good! One more thing that I love is their putong puti or Calasiao puto. Yummm! Their long operating hours is good. Always open when we stop by. read more

Delicious and fresh! Got to make sure u are there early or called in your dozen of Spanish Rolls or they sell out!
