    Starbread Bakery is very much a hit or miss experience for me. The Starbread Senorita Bread itself is the highlight -- buttery, sweet, soft, and genuinely enjoyable. This is what they're known for, and it shows. Fresh and satisfying, definitely worth trying at least once. Unfortunately, the Nutella-filled bread was a letdown. The bread was dry and a bit hard, and the Nutella filling was very skimpy. When you order something with Nutella, you expect more than just a hint of it -- this one didn't deliver. On top of that, there's very little variety overall. The menu is extremely limited, so if you don't love Starbread Senorita Bread, there isn't much else worth exploring. The shop is small and clean, and the lady working there was friendly. But the place was awkwardly silent -- no music, no ambiance, just uncomfortable quiet while you wait. Overall, I'd come back only for the starbread, but I'd skip the filled breads next time. Good potential, just not consistent across the menu.

    Needed 2 dozen desserts for my potluck this morning; I found this place and gave them a call! They quickly took my order, letting them know I would be there in an hour. My dad went to pick up 2 dozen masaladas and a dozen guava starbreads -- which they gave for a very reasonable price. My office is 15 mins away, by the time he got to my office, they were still very warm!! My coworkers and I tried the starbread and everyone loved them!! They're just sweet enough, not too sweet, and the bread is super soft! The masaladas are amazing too! If you are looking for nice quality pastries, especially on a time crunch, I highly recommend! They open at 7AM which is much earlier than most bakeries in the area (and super convenient), I will definitely order from them again!!

    My husband and kids love this place! We didn't know there was a location closed by and always went to the OC location for them. The señorita bread is always fresh & warm when they give it to you. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the aroma of the fresh bread baking. The service is good & they're always so friendly. There are different flavor bread that you can also get and donuts too! Definitely worth trying! Definitely goes great with a cup of coffee too!

    Fresh, soft, melting bread soooo good. Highly recommended. There isn't an eating area nor a restroom. The service was good, they were very busy here at this location. Yet I still didn't have to wait long for my order.

    My 1st 2026 stop in one of my fave specialty bakeries, StarBread, in Riverside Ca.. always (i mean - ALWAYS) fresh bread baked daily... this lil bakery puts out the best pastry. The store front staff is minimal and theyre usually fast to get your order out asap. The store front also is not very sizeable but good enough to display the variety of goodies they are excellent in creating. 2026 is off to an awesome start!

    I happen to be in the shopping center when I noticed the bakery. It was morning and I really wanted a pick me up. I was also curious. I entered the bakery and took a look around. There was a customer making a large order, who was being attended. The bakery was holiday decorated and there were signs of everything they offered. I saw displays of bread, donuts, an ube filled pastry, and others. I decided to get the ube filled pastry. It was $2. I paid in cash, card transactions are 50 cents. I asked the employee if they had iced coffee and she said all drinks were in the fridge. The ube was delicious, covered in powdered sugar. I enjoyed it! Very unique.

    Since moving to San Diego, and finding the location in Chula Vista, we've been a fan of Starbread. Glad that they opened this location in the IE! Always try to stop by and snag a box when visiting the family. The bakery is always inviting with the smell of freshly baked goods, and the señorita bread is always warm. Friendly staff and delicious treats!

    Delicious!!!

    I'm back!!! I couldn't wait to bite into this picture buttery deliciousness. I ordered 5 for $4.00. I found out today that this place will be open on Thanksgiving. Looks like I'll be back on November 27th

    Wednesday Bakery hours is 7am & it's already 7:20 & its still closed. There's multiple of us waiting, some are buying for work breakfast meetings. Hope the Bakery staff are okay & just hit the snooze button.

    This is a must visit bakery famously known for their señorita bread. It's sweet but not too sweet, soft, and airy making it the perfect snack any time of the day! Not to mention they always come out warm! They also sell other pastries and donuts but if it's your first time, I recommend trying a box of señorita bread!

    Hot and fresh. We stopped in and grabbed up 3 dozen of the bread rolls (I already forgot the names lol) they were gone in two days. Storefront was cute and clean. Services were fast and friendly. So glad we found this spot!

    Do they sell gluten free senorita bread? Do they sell any gluten-free items? Thanks everyone.

    What are the top 3 items (baked and/or beverages) to buy here? Thanks !

    Do they have any custard cream in pasteries?

    Yes! They do have a custard filled pastry, the malasada.

    Can I place a big order for pick up?

    The largest order I've requested from them is about 50pcs last minute, just this past Sunday (8.25.24) They have the senorita breads made fresh and i would say it just depends on how much you are looking to buy. So best recommendation would be to… 

    Are there any vegan or gluten free options?

    I called to ask what type of oil or shortening they used and they said lard. But call to double check.

    Cash only or accept cards?

    They take cards

(: We were very grateful for that. I got the Italian Grinder with no red onions and substituted the ham for turkey. I chose the pasta salad as my side, and the sandwich also came with some kind of vinaigrette. The flavors were good, but I think the bread started to come apart near the end, and I personally wish the red peppers had more of a pickled aspect! I also got the Lemon Cheesecake Bar (?), which was yummy, but it does have nuts on top. I think a crumble topping would be even better instead. (: The inside feels a bit dated, but the employees definitely seemed to be keeping it clean. As customers came and went, they cleared the dirty tables pretty quickly. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5, but 5 stars for the accommodation. :)

I came in at sort of an odd hour for lunch so the place was pretty chill and not too busy. Service style is fast casual where you order at the counter and find a seat. The place has a feel of having been there for a long time with large wood booths or separators. I ordered the grilled pastrami and Swiss sandwich and got it with their potato salad. The pastrami was griddled and has an old school flavor and style with some nice crunch from the sourdough. A great sandwich overall! Parking in the neighborhood wasn't too hard to find along the street and even if you need to park a block or two away, the neighborhood is nice to walk through.
