Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop - ensaymadas - Bakeries Near Me - West Covina, California

They need friendlier staff. She looks like she's not happy when I asked her about having ukoy and looked annoyed I'm only getting one lumpia even if that's not what she means with her having a grumpy face and not smiling or friendlier voice doesn't help. I probably would have gotten more food/ pastry if she has a helpful personality. This has been the on going comments on Valerio's even at their Vegas location. Should train them for better customer service. read more

So many Pinoy baked goods and treats! The smells wafting from the bakery lured us in. Didn't buy anything today because we were full from brunch but best believe next time, we are getting one of everything! read more

I go to the one in Rancho Cucamonga all the time. This location is where I went as a kid. I'll be honest. I can't be unbiased. Fresh pandesal is magic. The siopoa is darn good. read more

Nice lil mom's n pop's bakery shop filled with yummy snacks and baked goods. Their empanadas are very popular and delicious. They also have fresh breads and a variety of Filipino pastries. Very nice and family service. Located in the same plaza as Red Ribbon Bakeshop and Jollibee's off Amar Rd. and Azusa Ave. with plenty of parking. read more

This place always has the good fresh baked Filipino goods. I love the coconut haba haba . (So good)

I was in the area last night, so I always make it a point to stop by. I tried to control the quantity of my purchase, but it was hard. I bought three chicken and three pork empanadas. The chicken empanadas had white sesame seeds on the outside ! I love sesame seeds ! The chicken empanadas were delish ! I thought I saw carrrots and perhaps potato, but we ate them so fast, I didn't have time to carefully inspect. The pork empanadas had a bbq ish sauce with shredded pork which was a surprise, but good ! I also bought two packages of Hopia Mongo. I love their Hopia ! My hubby, son and I love that place! The service is always friendly and the assortment of baked goods doesn't disappoint ! I wanted to try the beef empanadas $2.99 but they were all sold out. Sad face There's always a next time ! They take credit cards ! Yay ! No plastic bags, so bring your own bag, or pay 10 cents for a very nice brown paper bag with handle. I'm frugal , I carried my goodies out the door after paying without a bag ! I'll be back ! read more

Despite its small space, its shelves are stocked timely. Their team know their inventory so do ask items which ones were freshly baked. That's how I learned about their empanadas. Now I can either a fresh chicken empanada or a pan de Sal while sitting in traffic. read more

Need to give my favorite Filipino bakery a 5 star rating to offset these weirdos who say the food is great but leave a 3 star review.. they're not the best in customer service. These people have been up since 4 am baking bread... give them a break! It's a small mom and pop shop but has absolutely amazing food. The ensemadas are AMAZING especially the mini ube ones! The pan de sal is so fluffy and yeasty! I love them so much. read more

Stopped by just to see what they had and being too full, picked up a small dessert cup that had ube bits, rice balls, thai banana, and tapioca for $5.99. It was actually really sweet so a good way to offset that is I added steamed yams to it, which was a nice combo with the ube, and other tart fruit and this helped to prolong the dessert! There was also a rice colored version of the same dessert. Not sure if the other baked goods are really sweet but always worth a try when it's something new to discover! read more

This continues to be my favorite Valerio's because of their Cheese Pimiento Bulilit ($5.99)! No other Valerio's makes it the same. Unfortunately, this shop is far from me so I don't visit often. I remember the days when it used to be $3 for a pack, but at $6, it is still worth it to me! To be honest, I can't speak to the other bakery items here as I only come here for the one item. I have read reviews of items that have gone bad or go bad quickly so I always inspect the package carefully. Even so, I understand that with many Filipino bake shops, moldy bread can be an issue so I buy knowing that I can get unlucky with a bad/old batch. Service here is always friendly in my experience! It's in a busy plaza and an old building, so don't expect it to be bright and pristine. read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 10/21/23. This place is my family's go-to for all Filipino pastries. A LOT of assorted options to try out. This location is very popular and gets crowded inside. Extremely small area and hot. Prices have gone up over the years. read more

Always fresh baked goods here. Every time I come here I always wished I could get everything money can buy. I always calm myself down just to get 3 items at a time . The ube bread is my grandkids' favorite snack. I just purchased 2 bags , 1 for my grandkids to share snd 1 for me to share... read more

I come here for hot fresh pandesal (Filipino bread baked fresh daily) in the morning. It's a tiny store and gets crowded when it gets busy. They also sell other baked goods. They specialize in Filipino breads. Everything is delicious! There are multiple locations. Come visit one near you. read more

A little annoyed that I drove 35 minutes to find out they were out of the item I was coming for. Called twice before heading over, with no answer, so I took my chance. But what was really upsetting is that when I got here, I mentioned that I called twice before heading over, and they gave no regard. Literally said NOTHING in response. Because of that, I am leaving this review. Customer service is not it here. read more

Very small bakery and there seemed to only be one worker handling everything when we got there, but great pastries! The bakery is filled to the top with Filipino baked goods, pastries, and desserts. Breads, buns, and even empanadas are available. Lots and lots of variety. There are some bagged pastries that are ready to take to go but there are also fresh baked goods that are behind the glass. We got the fresher pineapple flowers. Imagine cinnamon rolls but less scathingly sweet and filled with the pineapple bread dried icing. Good good stuff. Gonna get some more sweets from here one day ! read more

if you're looking for authentic filipino pastries this is your spot! This place has been here forever mom/pop shop! It's literally a hole in the wall place in the always busy Seafood city plaza for all things pinoy. During covid they are limiting 4 customers at a time inside the store with face masks required to enter! They have all sorts of fresh pastry and breads freshly baked daily. The MUST get items include the cheese rolls, turon, and variety of ensaymada. They do sell out often especially for the cheese rolls and popular ube flower ensaymada so come earlier! If you've never had a cheese roll its like Porto's Cheeese roll but more asian style without all the super sweetness. The texture is like a crispy croissant filled with cheese. The turon are fried egg roll skin wrapped plantain and jackfruit with a crispy caramel glaze. These things are so addictive but MUST be eaten fresh for best crispness. Ensaymada they have all types from savory to sweet. My favs are the pineapple or ube stuffed ones. The selection does change daily so check back often. The prices are all super reasonable with items ranging from $1-6 for entire boxes of bread. The auntie staff are all super friendly even with those unfamiliar with pinoy pastries. Ask them what's inside or what do you recommend and they'll explain it to you. read more

COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. The staff also wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs only with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my baked goods from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour (duh! It's a bakery lol). They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty big since they share the lot with several other establishments like Seafood City. Food: I ordered white pan de sol. My parents are a big fan of their dinner rolls because they are so buttery and fluffy. Perfect for the fam bam to enjoy. Staff: The staff here are very nice, friendly, and welcoming. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is a $10 credit card minimum. read more

Do not buy the ginataang bilo-bilo from Valerio's at Amar & Azusa. There is no traditional bilo-bilo but very little tiny bobas. And their cashiers have the rude behavior typical of most Filipino store service people. read more

3.5/5: Pan De Sal 2/5: Senorita bread 2/5: Customer service *Yes they take card* Overall, lack luster place to get Filipino goods. A little disappointed as back in the Bay Area Valerio's has higher standards for their quality of foods, freshness, sanitation, and friendliness. I was surprised their pan de sal wasn't as fresh as other locations of this chain (meaning constantly coming out and refilling hot/warm rolls, but I suppose that has more to do with supply and demand *or lack there of*). Furthermore, their siopao which in bold letters says "REFRIGERATION required", was out open in the shelves since this morning or longer. When I asked for siopao from the fridge in the back they told me to just get the one from the front... wasn't about to risk food poisoning because of their lack of understanding or care of how bacteria grows on dishes especially with meat when not properly stored. As for their senorita bread that was perhaps the biggest disappointment of all. It was not hot or fresh and was sub par for something so simple. At almost every other Valerio's location it's constantly flying off the shelves and people come to buy it in huge batches, whereas this location was extremely limited and did not offer it as fresh at all. Lastly, their customer service was poor as I tried to tell her the order and she proceeded to engage in conversation with her coworker and had to ask me to repeat multiple times. Overall, this wasn't a bakery or experience for me. The hunt for a good Filipino bakery continues. read more

Pan De Sal always hits! It gets a little bit crowded so I would suggest going a little bit early. Also make sure that you ask for the fresh pan de sal! read more

It's time for an updated review! If you're looking for traditional Filipino baked goods, this is your spot! They've got all the things that I've grown up with, including pan de sal, pan de leche, turon, ensaymada - you name it! Prices are extremely affordable and if you're there early, you might be able to catch some fresh out of the oven goodies! With ube being a food trend in 2020, you definitely gotta give this place a try! I recently got some of their ube cheese pan de sal and they were just perfect. The bread was moist and overall, it was a nice savory treat! Pro-tip: freeze the bag if you plan on eating these slowly! You can toss them in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 2 mins, and they come out perfectly! read more

My son and I stopped by Valerio's while we were walking around this shopping plaza waiting for my food to be ready from Tony's BBQ in the same plaza. We couldn't even tell it was opened, except for the signage outside the door. It's kind of a hole in the wall, so I guess you have to be a local to know about it. I decided that we would buy some Filipino baked goods to try. Since we are not Filipino, I had no idea what anything was (and I didn't bother checking Yelp for a review or suggestions before I went in), and I felt so naive asking the employee what was in this and what was in that. But she was nice to try and explain the ingredients. I ended up buying Pande Ube Bulilit, Cheese Rolls, pineapple flower, these fried balls of rice cake and coconut on a stick and covered in syrup, and ube pastillas. My first impression: man these are SWEEEET! Like really sweet! Decadent sweet. Have with coffee or tea sweet. Definitely something you should be enjoying occasionally and not daily. My favorites were the fried rice cake balls and the pande ube bulilit. The ube pastillas were my least favorite because they were just way too sweet. The cheese rolls and pineapple flower were just ok. I checked Yelp after I got home and it seems everyone is raving about the pan de sal, so that will be my purchase on my next visit! Some yelpers said the cheese rolls were like Porto's but to me they are nothing like it. The cheese rolls I bought are a bread filled with cream cheese (maybe?), and covered in a sugar paste. Overall I think this is a great bakery with tons of variety. It seems more authentic than the Red Ribbon we went in before Valerio's. read more

Great little local filipino pastry shop! Stop by and get yourself a few things to try. Reasonably priced and freshly baked in the back.

I personally had the ube cookie crumble and mango cake dessert. They were both amazing and I'll be coming back for both in the future. They also had a bunch of different pastries that look delicious and can't wait to try when I come back. I'll be coming back with my friends and family for sure! The shop also had great friendly service and gave me a very homey vibe. I believe it is a mom and pop shop, so even better! They also had a wide variety of authentic Filipino pastries to choose from. I would definitely recommend this spot to everyone to come try this spot! read more

This has slowly become one of my favorite bakeries. Sadly they are closed right now but I'm still dreaming of ensaymadas when stay at home orders get lifted Although a small place, the bread is magical. They're in the same shopping center as two other bake shops and I wouldn't dream of going next door. They accept both cash and card (I think there's a minimum) and sometimes have freshly baked/warm bread in the case. I've yet to try anything I did not like. If you're skeptical, they have a lot of single packaged goodies if you want to try something without buying a 6 pack. But you'll be back I promise! Like I said, the plain ensaymadas are my favorite but the pan del sal is amazing. How can a plain dinner roll be amazing? Trust me, just try them! Besides great quality, prices are affordable and you can find something for the whole family. It's not a place, but I don't care as long as the bread is great. See ya soon, Valerios! read more

ALL KINDS OF BREAD! Who does not like Bread?! This Bakery runs out quick but their bakery needs are fresh and tasty!! I love getting their sweet mini bread and their sugary mini bread rolls. But every time I walk in here I am surprised by the amount of bakery needs you see different. The Ube and Coco is also delicious. Loved there Pan de Sal too as mini bread rolls. You can not go wrong with freshness of bread!!! read more

We bought some Pinoy Tamales few days ago & we're very disappointed!! As soon as I opened its banana wrap, foul smell came out & it looks old/expired. It's spongy which is not the usual consistency of tamales that I know. I did not see a production date & expiration date on the packaging w/c is a red flag!! I do not think this store has "quality control" based also from the other 1 star reviews I have read. What a waste of money, each tamales is worth $4.39!! I will never buy from this branch again!! read more
