    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

It has a hot pink sign and has interior and exterior seating options. You can park in parking structures or side streets in order to walk towards this location. On a hot summer day, they were blasting the AC which was super appreciated! We came in to cool off and enjoy a beer, after reading their signs! Of course, we opted for a glazed donut, too. The guy at the front was nice and friendly! Super chill. We took out items and sat towards the side, under their large TV. He switched on the TV and ended up playing the World Cup game!! I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!

I can't comment on how they are after 8 a.m., but every time I have gone, the donuts have been tasty. What really surprised me was that I usually only eat the sugar donuts, but I tried the blueberry donut and it was superb! My coworkers really liked the maple donuts and asked me to get several more next time. There were also many cute and creative donut designs to choose from. Service: The ladies were very friendly, and it seemed like they had quite a few regular customers, which is always a good sign. Ambiance: The shop was clean, and I like that you can simply walk up to the window, get your donuts, and go if you're in a rush. There is also a side door with a seating area if you want to sit and enjoy your donuts. The only issue I had was not with the ambiance, but with the coffee cup lid. The lid was a little weak and came loose when I grabbed the cup. Just be careful to make sure the coffee lid is securely closed before drinking. Overall: I had a very positive experience and will continue to go there. The prices were also very reasonable. Definitely a place I would recommend if you're looking for fresh, tasty donuts - again I only visited before 8am :)
