    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!!

    First time hearing about this place from a Filipina friend who brought a box of señorita bread to our soccer game around the corner. So GOOD! Super soft, fall apart, sweet bread. First time ever hearing about it or eating it so we decided to get our own box on the way out. I would have gave 5 stars, but at 4:30 PM they were completely out of bread and only had one ube malasada that looked like it was sitting all day and strawberry malasadas, so that was extremely disappointing since we don't live near the area. I'm glad we got to try it, now I'll just have to learn to bake my own señorita bread. Such a bummer that they are still technically open for over 2 more hours with hardly anything left.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    This Starbread location is in a strip mall at the corner. It is located across Tyler Galleria. There was plenty of parking. This location is pick up only. There is no indoor seating. I came 2 hours before closing. Their goods had been sitting out a while. It was very difficult to understand the man at the counter. Service was OK. I got the viral Seniorita bread. I loved that they warm it up. It was soft and sweet in the middle. 5/5 I also got the mango starbread. I really liked that as well. It was not warmed but still very good. My teen ate most of it, it was that good! 5/5 My hubby got the maple donut. He thought it might be stale from sitting out. 3/5 I also got the ube malasada. I prefer not to have so much sugar on the outside.4/5

    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… Read more

    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?

Uncle Fluffy has been on my list for like a gajillion years not even joking. my mother is a cheesecake fanatic.... and also an almond mom. so japanese cheesecake is that woman's dream: lighter, less dense, and less sweet than american cheesecakes (the higher protein content from fluffed egg whites also means u could make ur fellow gymbro into "making up" the calories too) the regular cheesecake was yum and the texture was divine: basically if you imagined a fluffy soufflé pancake and cheesecake had a baby. it didn't wow me though, especially since i love things on the sweeter side and it definitely wasn't. for a tiny $11 dessert, it didn't taste like i was indulging in a dirty little sweet treat. so i'll stick w my dense caloric diabetic cheesecakes from the freezer isle at vons. BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN! my mom ATE THAT UNC UPPPPP. she ADORED the cheesecake. also service was quick and sweet. uncle fluffy def has daddy potential xoxo ;P

I was quickly greeted by a staff member with a joyful "Welcome! What can I get for you?" This was gonna be one of the toughest decisions... which cupcakes do I get?!?!?? I knew I couldn't take one of each, that would be crazy. There were just too many to choose from. I finally decided on the Strawberry Shortcake (for me!), a Carrot Cake, the Lemon Lemon and the Salted Chocolate Caramel.

While the presentation was appealing, the overall quality and flavor were underwhelming. The cake lacked the freshness and texture I would expect from a specialty bakery, and the frosting was overly sweet without much depth of flavor. The ingredients tasted more similar to commercially produced products than the premium, homemade quality that the shop's reputation suggests. That said, the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit, which made for a positive experience despite my disappointment with the product itself. I understand that taste is subjective, and others may have a different experience. However, based on my visit, I did not find the cupcakes to live up to the high praise they receive. I appreciate the outstanding service and hope the quality of the cupcakes will better match the level of care shown by the staff in the future.

Ambiance is not the best, as the interior of the restaurant can feel dated--the art does not help--and the booths that comprise the bulk of the seating is private (which I love) but always dirty. Despite the service and ambiance leaving something to be desired, the lunch is great option in the downtown area. I do no recommend the breakfast--the potatoes lack flavor and many items are better made at home, imo. My go-to lunch options Grilled Smokey without onions- a fancy grilled cheese w tomato Tomato soup pairs very well with the grilled cheese Grill Smokey with bacon- solid but sometimes I don't want bacon/meat Tuna melt- so good and I tend to not like celery Black bean soup- solid Upgrade to the pesto pasta salad OR the loaded potato salad Don't recommend the pastrami sandwich-the meat was lowkey gross Baked good/desserts Princess Cake- I'm royalty and this cake hits the right notes and spots Sticky buns- get it Cinnamon bun- get it Cookies (molasses)- yummy and good texture Bagels- great quality bagels to add to a meal Baked breads (when in stock)- love fresh bread and recommend the sourdough
