    Senorita breafs in different flavors
    Lynnelle E.

    It's my first time here, and I was excited because compared to the locations near me, their senorita bread also came in different flavors. They had nutella, strawberry, apple, and cheese. All of them were delicious, along with the turnovers. This place is small and the lady told me they've been here for about a year now. She was super nice and patient with me while I looked around and asked my family what else they wanted to try.

    Actual Starbread brick and mortar bakery in Hercules! Close to freeway for those commuters wanting to pick some up before work. Read some of the prior reviews of the señorita bread being a hit or miss, but every time I've picked up some they were the same warm, delicious, melt in your mouth, if you haven't tried one you will get addicted, señorita bread like Vallejo and San Pablo bakery. There is always a minimum 5 minute wait because you want it fresh and hot, also depending on the amount you are buying. Prices did go up a bit, but supporting a local business keeps them and other business up and running.

    Hot & Service was quick Friendly staff & variety of breads like nutella & pineapple filling

    Thus is the type of customer service provided- empty and non-existent.

    Poor customer service. Rude boy at the counter more interested in looking at himself in the mirror and hoppingg on his phone than greeting customers with a smile and saying thank you. We paid 48 bucks for 60 pieces and you'd think they would appreciate the business. Moving on to give them one star now due to smug customer service. Sad.

    15 pieces

    Starbread has returned to Hercules. Recently opened up on the Home Depot plaza in the space where Sweet Cravings use to be. The senorita bread speaks for itself. IYKYK! Clean and friendly space to get that starbread fix. I spoke with the owner and she is nice and welcoming.

    Dry, dry, utterly dry - no butter/sugar top - not quality. 15 piece for $9.

    Ventured here this morning. It is closer to my house than the usual location I patronage in San Pablo, I decided to give it a try. The store front is small and can easily be missed. It is a few doors down to the left of Domino's. The inside is clean, nicely displayed signage and well lit. When I was greeted about a minute or so later, the woman asked how many with a smile, I said 15. She emphasized, "five-zero," and when I replied, "one-five" her smiled dropped and disappeared. Since the reviews on this location are mixed, I did not want to spend much for something I would not be satisfied with. If I enjoyed, I could purchase more. When I opened the box, I immediately knew the senorita bread was not quality. The bread looks dry, lacking the buttery sugary glaze on top. When you bite into, even after warming it up, it is dry and doughy with very very little sweetness. I will not be returning to this location. I will add the extra time to my commute to travel to the San Pablo location - I know is superior, consistent and authentic.

    I AM SO HAPPY I DONT HAVE TO GO TO THE EAST BAY OR TO DALY CITY TO BUY THIS NOW I got there and just enjoyed the smell of the starbread for a few minutes while waiting for the cashier to arrive. Plenty of options for food from just the starbread to cake and pan de sal and halo halo! Hours of operation: 7a-8p every day

    Can't believe Starbread opened a shop in Hercules. Of course, you have to try their senorita bread. This bread is so addictive. One piece is only a couple of bites to devour. You have to order a big box, 20 or more, to satisfy your craving for senorita bread. Our order comes out of the oven fresh and warm. This is one of the Filipino pastries that everyone enjoys. I'll be a regular patron once I crave senorita bread.

    I'm upset this replaced Sweet Cravings. They were so good. I would rather go to the San Pablo shop for Starbread.

    I really enjoy their Egg Bahn-Mi. It's my favorite. I can't get enough of it. I love the sweetness…read moreof the pickled vegetables and the creaminess of the egg combined with the mayo. Every bite is hearty and it's truly a "healthy" packed portion sandwich - they do not skimp on ingredients, it's well worth the price and you will be satisfied after you consume it! I've also recently had their Vietnamese coffee which is well worth the sweetness, caffeine and calories. I have also had smoothies and a vanilla latte from time to time. Customer service is always exceptional (even when it's busy!) and the funnest part is they sell LOTTO tickets at the counter or by the machine. It's clean, there's a good variety of drinks, donuts and sandwiches to order for brekkie to lunch or anytime- it's Great spot. I highly recommend this spot.

But my favorite go to orders are The Vietnamese ice coffee or Thai tea, And the Combo lunch sandwich or the #7 breakfast sandwich. To see how much Michelle has upgraded and transformed the Buisness over the years is inspiring! It's like night and day seeing how it used to look inside compared to now. The remodel and constant upgrades that have been made show that the owner reinvests heavily in the customers experience and that alone deserves a 5 star review. Me and my family will always support this amazing small Buisness.

    I have been a customer here for several years and it's my first time trying their dinner menu…read more This use to be my go to place for coffee but the coffee has become more bland so I don't come here as often, it's still a decent coffee shop and would recommend to the locals. What impressed me about their dinner menu is the drinks, very strong and delicious. The food was okay... we ordered a burger with fries and wings. The meat was cooked medium rare, if you don't like it cooked that way make sure you let them know. I really enjoyed the wings, they were well seasoned and give a decent portion. They also charge for extra ketchup which I've never experienced, understandable if it was ranch or some other special sauce but it wasn't. All the servers were polite, attentive and the place was clean and felt welcoming. They have a bar that I'll probably go to next time just for the drinks. I recommend to order their hazelnut espresso martini and the madre mía both drinks were amazing!

Will definitely order again when in the area. Service: Counter service. Line went fast and employee was courteous. Ambience: Artsy, urban, and open. Full alcoholic bar and coffee at service counter.

    Best mochi donuts hands down! I've enjoyed mochi donuts from other companies but since I was…read morereferred to Mochata, I have not looked back (sorry other companies!) I reached out to Eric to cater mini mochi donuts for my wedding in March and his customer service was superb. He was so personable and friendly that I just wanted to order just because of that! I ended up ordering 5 dozen minis and everyone at my wedding LOVED them. So much that I didn't even get to have any myself during reception. What stands out the most about Mochata's donuts is that the flavor is actually IN the donut itself. Not just the icing that we're all used to. And the texture? Exactly the way a mochi should taste. Flavors? ON POINT!! The toppings are very generous, especially the Cookies N Cream and Mint Oreo. My absolute favorites are Coconut Pandan, Ube and Strawberries N Cream and my husband always goes for the Mint Oreo. I haven't tried all the flavors yet but I have no doubt that they all taste delicious. I also got myself a Thai Horchata drink. I never thought about combining the two flavors together and it was super good! Now I feel like I need to try every flavor of that as well. Definitely plan to be a regular customer for whenever I have a craving

I…read morestumbled upon Mochata on Instagram, I think I read the story and decided I wanted to support. Their customer service is amazing and so friendly! The ordering form was easy to understand and fill out, along with payment options. They delivered all the way out to San Leandro for a small fee. The donuts were good! The right amount of chewiness that I like in my mochi! The donuts have flavor infused into the dough as well as the glaze-- unlike other places where the glaze is the only part with flavor. I ordered strawberry, Thai tea and Ube. My kids loved them and so did the adults. I do wish the Thai tea and Ube tasted a little bit more like the flavor, but they were still yummy! Next time I'll have to try the horchata to go with it!
