    Señorita bread served warm
    Sandy Y.

    I've heard a lot about señorita bread, so when I heard about Starbread Bakery, I had to check it out. It's a little hole-in-the-wall spot tucked into an older strip mall, and I almost missed it. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a friendly staff member and the wonderful scent of freslyh baked bread and pastries. The display cases are filled with mochi doughnuts, malasadas, and other unique treats. I ordered a bag of 10 señorita bread and a chocolate-filled malasada. The señorita bread came out hot. They were warm and sweet, and practically melted in our mouths. The malasada was covered in sugar, crispy, and filled with gooey chocolate. I'm looking forward to the next visit. I'll be buying more of both the malasadas and the señorita bread. A great place!

    A Bay Area classic. When in the area I make it a point to visit and get my fix. Always served pipping hot. You literally just can't have one. I'd say get a bag of 5 and just live a little. Service is welcoming, professional and yet very laid back. They take their reviews seriously and make changes if needed based on customer feedback. That's good service and explains their longevity and expansions. Ambiance is an order and go spit, no place to sit down or anything. Standing room only. Rule of thumb place your order, the. Go wait outside for it to be ready. Depending on the size of your order it can take up to 6 minutes to prepare.

    My first time going into Starbread Bakery this morning! I grabbed some Cinnamon Sugar Donuts and a cake pop for my daughter. Wonderful service and atmosphere with a nice variety of baked goods!

    Always gotta make a stop whenever in the area and a fave yummy treat to gift others. Can't go wrong with their Senorita bread, always piping hot out of the oven and for such a good price! I always get around 20 of these, they don't last too long and taste best fresh. They serve other items like mochi donuts, regular donuts, cake pops, cupcakes, pan de sal, corn bread and haupia. Fresh and hot or room temp, these make a great snack and go great with coffee. Definitely not a daily indulgence, but still a nice once-in-a-while kind of treat and a hit at parties! Service is always quick, the wait isn't any longer than 5 minutes straight from the oven and their bread is unmatched. The interior is small but clean. They accept cash and card.

    Senorita Bread
    Krisstina C.

    Starbread has some of my favorite pastries! I'm happy to see there are more StarBread Bakeries opening. Their buttery and sweet senorita bread always hits! I also love how they're always served warm. The staff was very friendly and we got our pastries as soon as we ordered them! I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Wish there were more StarBread bakery in the Concord/Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek area! The Concord place is the only one! The Starbread is fresh and hot when boxed! Perfect size and buttered! We usually get a box of 20! Very good to get for a party at work or home! There are many other bakery goods to select from. We love the Malasada. The staff are very friendly and professional. When you are in the area, stop by and try it! You won't regret it!

    What's not to love about this place. A true Bay Area icon, there is simply nothing else quite like it. In a world of so many fancy sweets and pastries, starbread holds its own. It doesn't need any fancy gimmicks or designs, just a delicious tan bread. If you've never had it before, star bread is a sweet, buttery bread. It comes in packs of varying sizes, the price is what it should be, and it is always served warm- how it should be eaten every time. The ham and cheese and mochi donut were good, but we all know the real winner. There's no doubt this is a frequent treat of ours in the area. A Bay Area must have!

    Do they carry Portugese custard pastries?

    No they do not

    Are they cash only?

    If the order is less than $10 yes.

    Do they deliver?

    no they do not, but they are well worth the visit, it takes a couple minutes as they are made to order.. omg they are so good

    Are they warm all day can i go in the evening and they'll be hot?

    My first visit to them was about 30 minutes before closing. We were afraid that they would be cold or worse not have good selection. We were in luck! We purchased 2 dozen original and 1 dozen cinnamon señorita bread they were soft, warm but most… Read more

I ordered a cake online and never got the cake or a refund. I placed an order for a birthday cake through the Sweet Affair website. I received a confirmation that says Sweet Affair and the phone number of Sweet Affair is listed as the contact for questions and concerns...My card was charged under "Sweet Affair Bakery". The day of our party, with a house full of guests, no cake arrived... I called and was told my order was through DoorDash, who manages their online order, and it was a DoorDash "Wifi error," and I needed to call DoorDash. There was no apology or accountability, only blame on DoorDash. The person I spoke to was so rude and spoke to me in a condescending tone. There was an offer to give me a different cake, even though- quote "we can't even prove you paid". When I click on "Track My Order" in the email confirmation I received, it takes me to DoorDash; however, when I click "Help," it says to call Sweet Affair Bakery. So, I decided to email Sweet Affair, since calling did me no good, and I got an auto-reply saying, "We don't respond to emails." I am going in circles with no one willing to help me at the bakery. I need my refund.

I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

To start, the employee working at the cash register was super friendly and gave great suggestions on drinks and food to order based on how sweet we like things or more coffee for we may want things to be. There isn't really any indoor seating space but they did build out into the parking lot with a few picnic tables and chairs for people to stay and eat their food. While we both really enjoyed the food - both of which were recommended by the employee - the coffee was not good at all. Pro: the avocado toast that we ordered had a curried chickpea salad on top and it had a delicious flavor. That was probably my favorite bite! We also shared half order of the blueberry waffle, and it had a type of granola on top that provided some really great textures. The food certainly impressed me. Con: Both of us felt like the coffee had none of the flavor that it was supposed to have (we both ordered the cardamom maple iced latte with macadamia nut milk) and instead, it just tasted like milk. It didn't even really have a coffee forward flavor. Since this is a coffee shop that was a pretty big disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service, but would skip the coffee.
