I grew up in Daly City and the Bread Basket has been a huge part of my life... Driving down Mission Street is incomplete without the smell of fresh baked pandesal! My favorite things to buy here are the Ensemada bread and mini pan de sal. If you've never tried hot baked fresh pandesal stuffed with Mango, Coconut, or Ube Ice cream (preferrably the quarts from Mitchell's Ice Cream) then you are missing out! Just throw the pan de sal in your oven to make them warmer and a little crispier in the outside and stuff those yummy suckers with Ice Cream... Mmmm! read more

Pan de sal, right out of the oven, is the best merienda/breakfast/lunch ever. So many ways to eat pan de sal: -Eat it fresh -Half it, spread butter on it, and dip it in your coffee (cream and sugar, please) -Eat with giniling made by Lola Mimi -Eat with corn beef -Eat with sardines -Eat with Vienna sausage -Eat with scrambled eggs and bacon The possibilities are limitless. Total comfort food. ;P The Bread Basket has the best- sorry, Valerio's and Goldilocks. read more

I wrote a review about The Breadbasket and the terrible service I received. The manager wrote a reply and asked me to contact her. We played phone tag for a while until she reached me. Liza was gracious and expressed her dismay at my having a negative experience. She told me I could call in my order and pick it up. I explained I wouldn't want to return to any store where I felt uncomfortable. She said she was working with the staff to have better communication and would hope that I would think about visiting the store again. After talking to Liza I must admit I will return in the future. She was very kind. The fact that she continued to attempt to reach me shows her commitment to great customer service! You rock Liza! read more

BEWARE THE HIGH CALORIES in the Pan de Sal - IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS. Anyone notice the back of the package states "CALORIES: 15C". I did the math and each roll has approximately 150 calories! Here's the formula: (grams protein x 4) + (grams fat x 9) + (grams carbs x 4) = total calories Do the math! read more

If all I had to eat was bread and water -- you better make that Bread Basket! If I am what I eat, make me a Bread Basket pan de sal and slather me in butter! Hell yea! Seriously, I could probably finish a bag and eat the damn bag! Go here, buy loads of bread and enjoy... read more

This place has been open FOREVER. Drive slow to smell it. Drive faster to miss it. I just love the smell of sweet pan de sal. Their bread is soo good. Top that with some Eden Cheese, and I'm done for the day. (well, maybe not the day) I recently brought my co-workers (non filipino) and their eyes opened. It's like they've never been to a bakery before. When you stop by - it's a must to get hot pan de sals. Must eat while hot. otherwise, put them in the toaster read more

I'm a little shocked at the high reviews here, came in her the other day and grabbed some tasty looking chocolate chip cookies, polvoron, custard cake, and meringue with m&ms. Everything LOOKED so good. Tossed the chocolate chip cookies and meringues in the trash - it tasted like chalk. Not even cookie or meringue flavored chalk. Just. Chalk. It was like chewing on a mouthful of disappointment and sadness. Just attempted to eat a polvoron, and the entire thing crumbled. I know it's supposed to be a brittle snack, but it's not supposed to turn to dust at the slightest touch. Jeeze. Tasty, but a hassle to eat. The custard cake was the best item purchased...but it honestly was nothing to write home about. The best thing about The Bread Basket Baker is that it's cheap. ... Thats it. One last thing - when I walked up to the door I thought they had closed up shop and left. Turns out they were open...there outside just looks like an abandoned building. read more

5 stars for the daily made pandesal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandesal) this is a small mom and pop's spot that offers several bakery goodies mostly flipino sweets, empenada, pan de leche, ube puto, etc to many to name this is a must try anytime you are in Daly City pick up a bag of the fresh made pandesal and be on your way it is cheap and you can hand pick everything haha note the bags with steam covered plastic is a dead give away of fresh made bread food ***** everything fresh made price $ cheap service ***** ambiance **** read more

This place has practically set my standard on pan de sal. They offer a wide variety of specialty breads, rolls, Philippine pastries & desserts. They've been around since my childhood and over the years I developed some favorites. 5 Stars for their Mini Pan de Sal, Pan de Leche, Ensymada & Chocolate Bread read more

True to the other yelpers' words, their pan de sal is pretty good.... but only if lightly toasted. It was good with soup, good w/ cookie butter, peanut butter, with coffee... you get the gist. If eaten plain, it tastes like a slightly saltier Hawaiian sweet roll. Prices are low and the lady worker was nice. I will definitely be back to try their other baked goods! read more

Im pretty lucky to live really close to this bakery. When you smell something good baking, it's the pan de sal. Whenever I go here, I get the hot pan de sal, the brownie cupcake, cheese pockets, ensymada and mongo hopia. This is the best Filipino bakery in the bay area and its a hell of a deal too. read more

The Bread Basket - Warm pan de sal :) - Bakeries Near Me - Daly City, California

See all

As soon as I moved up to the city, I was in dying neeeed of Filipino sweets and Yelped a place and found the Bread Basket! I got the hopia, pan de sal and ensaymada. All were totally delicious, soft and fresh. The pan de sal is super soft and tastes great. The ensaymada is absolutely amazing and HUGE!! It's like the size of 4 Goldilocks' Ensaymadas, and way tastier. Will definitely come back and try the other sweeets. :) Thanks Yelp! Go Bread Basket! :) read more

I can't believe I haven't been here before! Kind of blends in with Mission Street so you might miss it. They have great pan de sal and cakes! YUMMY! They are extremely sweet and can do an order if you call ahead of time. They also might have some stuff fresh in the back, so if you don't see it in the front- ask! Keep in mind that they don't take credit cards, so bring cash! read more

The first time I came to this place, I was disappointed because they don't accept debit or credit cards, only cash! So, I have to go back for another time... On the my second trip, I can't get myself the pan de sal because it was already almost 5pm, so I was leaning on their pastries... I got myself some pastillas (the ube/purple one), spasol, bread with pimiento, another kind of bread, and custard cake. The custard was ok, and so with the other bread...However, the purple pastillas was mediocre! Why? Coz I could taste the flour even if I close my eyes. i couldn't taste the real taste of a pastillas! Their spasol was the worst one because it was wet---to my knowledge, spasol should at least be dry and sweet! I'm giving them three stars because they're close to where I live, I could have 5 bucks and get some bread, and their bread just tasted ok. The thing that I don't like about this place ---I think it so overrated! I don't really get the hype about this place! They really have no parking and pan de sal is just fresh in the morning! read more

Been buying breads here at this location since early 90's!. Just because the exterior of the building is not "fancy" with new age signs the $PRICE of the breads will get you hooked. Delicious warm baked breads. Why pay full price for breads at supermarkets when you can save money here and support little businesses like the Bread Basket. Parking is metered parking so be sure to bring change for meter. read more

I grew up near this place & I always loved getting their brownies & their pan de sal. The pan de sal is made fresh in the morning, so whenever I get the chance, I'll grab a whole bag for my family to eat. They only accept cash, but it's understandable since all of their goodies are so cheap! read more

Mmmm..ube pastillas... This place has quite the selection of filipino sweets and breads. When I get up in the morning (if I do), I head down here to get some freshly made pan de sal...oh the warm and chewy goodness that is this bread. If I ever have to live on any kind of bread, i'd go with pan de sal...pan de leche being a close second. They've also got egg tarts for those who love them, and some very nice puto. This place is not pricey at all considering that pastillas in the islands would cost more over there then here. Happy Gorging! read more

woah, this place is old school and i like it! gramma puts your hot pan de sals (essentially, dinner rolls) in a paper bag with love. she even gives you a plastic bag and twisty tie in case you can't finish the dozen. i got two bags (by accident! it was only $2 so i thought it was for ONE!) and pan de leche (very good) and hopia (it's ok, not as good as a mooncake) read more

Pan de sal is soooo good. esp. when its fresh out of the oven all warm and chewy thats the best. I love the bread basket they always have such fresh bread and desserts. Everything is fairly cheap and I some how always manage to spend like 20 bucks! read more

Moms always manages to ring up 20bucks (plus) worth of pan de sal, pan de coco, pan de leche... and all things pan. We've been going here since the 80's. You enter the store smelling all the pan-goodness. It's still fairly inexpensive and we haven't stopped going back. It's pan-heaven! read more

I LOVE the bread here!! The most delicious bakery goods I have ever tasted...and that's quite a compliment coming from a carb-obsessed connoisseur!! I've been going here since I was a baby, and twenty years later I'm still an avid fan of the bread here. The bread basket is certainly a suitable name because when you leave you will most definitely leave with a bigger mid-section. The Spanish rolls are my all time favorite, along with their brownies, and Pan de Sal dinner rolls...heat those rolls up in the microwave for 10 seconds, and you've got fresh-baked perfection... read more

Whether you go in or not, just passing by you can smell that incredible smell that makes you think of home. Bread coming out of the oven, bread being made, bread to be eaten. They do have really good pan de sal bread! When I was young, my mom would have to go there and buy some pan de sal and they would come in this bag and still be warm. You could just eat it on its own and it would be so delicious! What a place! read more

I love that this place is still around. They make some of the freshest, softest, mouth-watering baked goods in all the land. Ok, maybe not all the land, but i say that because Bread Basket is so nostalgic for me, and their stuff is still just as good as i remember when i was a kid. My family always bought bags and bags and loaves and loaves of bread from here....pan de sal, pan de coco, chocolate bread, etc. Im really glad to see that they are still doing well for such a small hidden gem, and i hope they continue to stick around for many more years. read more

love the bibinka here! My mom introduced me to this place and can't believe it is only down the street from the bf's house! its a small hidden gem (looks like it closed but its not lol)--maybe they should make their external appearance more appealing. Anyways, i've tried other bibinkas..and this place has the best so far! I also get the pan de coco here =) street parking only fyi! read more

This place must have the freshest most spongiest soft delicious tastiest warmest light and fluffy mouth watering pan de sal I have ever ever ever ever eaten. Just wish I had some right now. there bread ccmes right out of the oven and into paper bags. Paper bags! while still steaming hot!! Compare that with any other bakery. I can't cuz I never seen any other ones that have done it. Other places should take lessons from this place. Hear that Goldilocks, your stuff is stale and probably contain too many preservatives too keep it fresh. Anywayz, I wish this place would expand need more bakeries similar to this. Thank you Bread Basket for the experience!! read more

it was 8:30am on a Sunday morning and i drove 30 minutes from the city to see what all the fuss was about this place. i had been to pampanga's in pacifica and wasn't too impressed. i wanted the hot pan de sal in the paper bag...not the steaming pan de sal in the plastic bag...so i asked the lady behind the counter for a bag of hot pan de sal and she scoffed!!! AND rolled her eyes. i asked her "you do sell pan de sal here, right?" she turned right around and went to the back to get the little yummies and when she returned i asked for some ensymada, too and she scoffed again!!!! well, that time she did more of a huff, but whatever. who wants to be working at 8:30 am on a Sunday morning anyway? i felt bad for her and just paid and went on my merry way, eating one (or two or three) on my way home and i loved it...i'll be back next week to fulfill my sunday morning craving no matter what the service is like ;) loved loved loved it!!!! read more

Waaaay better than Goldilocks. The mini pan de sal is better than the normal sized version. We always get a bag of the mini pan de sal and a bag of pan de leche each for ourselves and anyone we may be visiting because we love sharing the goodness. read more

I wanted to like this place; I really did. Every time I walked by, it would smell like heaven, so today I finally decided to give it a shot. I know the pan de sal is what you are supposed to go for as it is a staple, but I went with a different kind of roll. I cannot remember what it was called but it was rather long, with sugar and butter over the top and an egg-mixture-encrusted bottom. It really did not do the trick for me. For a dollar, I won't complain, but it was cold and very dry. Baked goods should be moist and warm, so I headed over to Valerio's on King Dr. later on. I'll give the pan de sal a shot the next time around, but I would have to buy a whole bag of them, so I don't know what I would do with the other 11 after I ate one. Valerio's lets you buy assorted pan de sal (rather large ones too) individually as well as by the dozen, so I prefer them. Their prices are also a little bit cheaper than the Bread Basket's. read more

Yum! I love this place. It is small and they have been making the same bread for years. I lived in the midwest/east coast most of my life and I've been eating the bread from this bakery since I was a toddler. Everyone talks about their pan de sal, which is delicious, but I'm a huge fan of the pan de leche and the everlasting rolls. They are both soooo yummy. Sweet and dense, makes great ham sandwiches. This place is a staple of my childhood...big time comfort food. I love coming on the weekends and smelling the bread even before I enter the bakery. Not only do they have excellent bread, but I also like the egg pies, bibingka, and hopia. Even if you've never had Filipino baked goods, you will love this place. What makes it even better, is that the bread is inexpensive. It is definitely worth the drive all the way to Daly City. read more

They have the best pork hopia just like the taste in Iloilo plus they sell the banana chips all the way from Cebu

I was shocked to see that The Bread Basket was alive and well after a recent visit to Daly City. I rememer going here every Sunday morning after church and my mom would buy 5 loafs of pan-de-leche then my brothers and I would eat all of them before evening service...pan-de-leche is the best especially when they are fresh outta the oven read more

The best Pan de Sal I've ever had outside of the Philippines. It's soft and baked fresh everyday. If you're up early enough you can but hot Pan de Sal straight from the oven! read more

cassava DELICIOUS - if you dont eat it the first day, microwave it the second. gaaaahhhh soooo gooooooooooooood pan de sal DELICIOUS pan de leche DELICIOUSS of course the chocolate chip cookies arent going to be great, this is a filipino bakery not a white people bakery read more

The empanada's were the bomb that is all I have tried so far had the chicken and beef after I left Kadok's and I will be back again for sure

Hot pan de sals. I do not know when they have them hot anymore(it used to be two in the afternoon but I heard they change the time) but go there when they have them hot. It's better when hot. Other than that, I do not really know because that's all I need to have when I go here and probably you yelpers as well if you ever stop here. read more

i grew up eating their bread! the best pan de sal and pan de leche - HANDS DOWN! valerio's ain't shhhh*beep* i love the fact that it's family owned and family run. i remember when lola (grandma) used to man the counter and shoot the poop with my mom when she bagged up, fresh, hot pan de sal right from the oven. it was so hot, lola stuck it in a paper bag and not the regular plastic bags! thanks goodness for the bread basket! it's the only bakery that can make hopia as good (if not better) than my own!!! =) read more

Pandesal are better here then valerios. Their suman? Are also good because of their sweet sauce that comes with it!

I've been going here for over 20 years. You have to come here in the morning when the bread is fresh from the oven. As a child, I enjoyed their brownies, but now I just appreciate their pan de sal. The prices are cheap and you hand pick your choice of delicious bread and pastries. read more

A favorite in my family for over 2 decades! I've been coming here since the early 80's. They have the best pan de sal, but my personal favorite is pan de leche. I've tried just about everything... ensaymada, brownies, mamon, custards.. and everything is good! The bread and baked goods are now available at Lucky's and other markets, but it's cheaper (and probably fresher) to purchase it at the bakery. Note: Then only accept cash, so be sure to have some handy. read more

best pan de sal ever! all you need is some coco jam and coffee and that's an awesome start to a day. they also have an assortment of other filipino bakeshop goodies like siopao, empanadas and bibinka. read more
