La Concha Bakery is one of my all time favorite panaderia's. Located in the heart of Chula Vista,…read moreit is a family-owned bakery that specializes in traditional pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), and custom cakes! Known for their fresh, daily-baked pastries, it features a self-service (tray-and-tongs) experience in a clean, welcoming environment! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Always making great recommendations for their customers! Parking can be a bit tricky with very few spaces available. Pricing is somewhat higher than it used to be, but then again so is everything else (like gas, lol). They have a great selection of conchas, polvorones, fresh bolillos, empanadas (chicken, beef, jalapeño cream cheese), and custom cakes! Typically, I get the empanadas de piña 10/10! They're so freaking delicious! They feature a golden, buttery, and flaky crust that shatters perfectly when bitten. Inside, they're filled with a rich, jammy pineapple filling that balances bright, tropical sweetness with a sharp, fruity tartness! Highly recommended!

I came in for the first time during Día de los Muertos and honestly the experience was a mix of…read morehighs and lows. The moment you walk through the door, the smell of fresh baked pan hits you and it is everything. The selection of pan dulce and bolillos had me feeling like I was back in Mexico City. So many options, beautifully displayed. That part alone almost made the trip worth it. But the customer service... yeah, I'm not the only one who noticed. I asked the lady at the register in Spanish if there was any chocolate pan de muerto and she completely ignored me. Like, didn't even look up. Just called someone from the back in Spanish, which, mija, I understood every word. The girl who came to help me was a little better but not much. She told me the chocolate pan de muerto was sold out, which fine, I get it, it was a holiday. But that's literally all you had to say. No smile, no "sorry we're out," nothing. Just took my money and that was that. The panadería itself deserves five stars. The staff needs some work. I'll probably go back for the pan because it really is that good, but I'm keeping my expectations low on the service side.

I was browsing for a while until I finally came across these guys on Facebook! I'm so happy they came up on my feed. Booking them was easy, everything that was included was explained to me. It was easy to give them my date and time needed. Day of the event, they arrived at perfect timing when we were cutting the cake. They found the place just fine. The churros were being fried fresh for my hungry guests to consume. Now I've had my fair share of churros and I gotta say, these were the best I've ever had. Hot, fresh and not keto friendly. Worth every calorie. The guys making them told me to try one with a scoop of ice cream and this bomb homemade strawberry sauce they bring. Life changing!!! All the guests at my party said this was the coolest and best thing ever. Honestly, you're not gonna find better than these guys. Churrolicious is amazing and sure to make your event 10x better. Thanks guys!!! Can't wait to book you for future events.

You know it's great bread when you bring a box to work and everyone runs to you for a piece of a señorita bread. The warm, sweet and yet salty bread tastes like a cloud in every bite. It's soft, buttery and seriously hard to stop at just one. The location is small, but they offer many pastries. My favorite is the señorita bread but every now and then I'll grab the guava pastry when I want something a little different. You really can't go wrong with their pastries.

TLDR: Get the Senorita bread!…read more I was so happy when I found out that there was a Starbread here when I was visiting the Gaylord resort nearby. I remember having these when I used to live in Northern California and loved them so much. I had a bout of nostalgia and couldn't wait to share this special treat with my daughter who had never had them before. When we arrived in the strip mall, there was no one at the counter but I guess they have cameras or there is a sensor when someone comes in because eventually someone came out to take our order. There is only one thing to get here (at least that they are famous for) and it is their Senorita bread. I love taking that first bite when given to us because they are warm, sweet and fresh. Maybe not the healthiest thing to eat, but it is quite the treat! My daughter proclaimed it was the "best bread ever"! We loved it so much, we came back the following day when we checked out of our hotel so that we could enjoy it on the way home and share it with friends. Apparently there are quite a few locations in Southern California (typically with a higher population of Filipinos) but I had no idea! Parking is easy and plentiful.

The icing was better on the chococream, but the cake was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor to it.

I came here especially to get an Ube cake; I wasn't sure which one yet and they had a few different ones. There was an Ube flan cake, an Ube cheesecake and an Ube Yema cake. Not knowing what a Yema cake was, I asked them how it compared to the other 2 cakes and he told me that Yema cake has condensed milk and I was sold! The ube yema cake turned out to be amazing! It was moist, full of ube flavor and definitely not one to keep around if you have weak self-control like I do. Now I want to go back there to try the other Filipino snacks that I didn't get to buy the first time.

I've been twice to the new location including its soft opening weekend. I would skip the somewhat overpriced spam musubi. It tasted good but it wasn't life-changing, which I sort of expected for the price. The couple times I went, I found the tables to be sticky so I'd watch out for that as well if you're dining in. The fruit sandos are good if that's your thing. I always find them to be too rich with all the cream and this place was no exception. I've tried all the savory sandos on the menu though, and they're solid. You really can't go wrong. The bobas are pretty good but don't compete with the elite boba shops like 3cat or momofuku. The corn hojicha is what I liked the most out of everything I've tried. Finally, service is average to above average. The person behind the register is usually a disinterested teenagers or 20-something employee but an older guy in the back, presumably a manager, tries hard to accommodate customer requests. So hats off to him.
