Starbread Bakery

Señorita bread! Love it. Like others say, it’s just so good. Highly recommend.

Whenever I go to huge parties, this is highly requested ;)

Starbread has never let me down!
Their señorita bread is their main sale, and it’s the only one you need. It’s taste is consistent and delicious with every bite. Prices vary, but I suggest getting 50 pieces for $ 20. It may sound like a lot, but if you have a hungry family it will run out fast. Each piece is 3 and a half inches long, so it’s only a few bites that’ll keep you grabbing for more in the box.
Their staff is friendly and quick. If they aren’t at the counter, ring the bell to notify them in the kitchen. If there’s a wait, it usually isn’t that long.
The place is joined with Raging Boba and a noodle house. I suggest you grab a drink at the same counter to combo with your delicious señorita bread!
You’ll love this place!

This place is known for their Spanish rolls/​senioritas. Spanish rolls are supposed to be light and airy rolls that are buttery and sweet. Very simple concept.
I’ve had Spanish rolls from other places but those rolls aren’t light and airy. Two will quickly fill you up. Star Bread does it right. Because the rolls are light and airy, from experience, having 5 in one sitting won’t fill you up.
Star bread is open late. So even if you’re catching the last flight out, you can make a stop to pick up a box before heading out. Now, because this very item is so popular and reasonably priced (25 for $ 10) do expect a 10-​minute wait. And try not to eat the whole thing before you get to your final desitnation. Super addicting.
Almost forgot to mention, they provide friendly and helpful service.

Coworkers love this stuff. They’re inexpensive, delicious, and truly baked fresh in less than 10 minutes.
Except one time, I went and the lights were off. They forgot to pay their electric bill. That was disappointing.
I would come back here.

Omg idk why this place doesn’t have more exposure. So bomb!

So my friend informs me that this is a chain. But I happened upon this location when I was in the area for work. I think the closest one to me in SJ is in Newark. Now that I know starbread bakeries exist all over, I will be a frequent visitor probably. So this location is connected to a restaurant — no need to be confused. The bakery is on the right. And it’s open 24 hours. No matter when you have a seniorita bread craving, you can get some. The smallest size they offer is 15 pieces for $ 6 and that’s what I got. I thought it would be too much for me. But I was really sad when I finished it and wished I had more. You just put in your order and the woman at the counter disappears into the back and a few minutes later, comes back with a box of piping hot rolls. Mmmm, I devoured 3 in the first 10 minutes. They are the best when hot and fresh right out of the oven. I tried to make the rest last a few more days. Heat them up in the microwave for 15 seconds or you can do it the longer way in an oven. But yeah it’s great to have them warm when eating.

Oh sweet, sweet Seniorita bread. 15 pieces for $ 6 or get another 5 for $ 8. If you have a huge party, 50 pieces is only $ 20 ($ 10 minimum for credit cards). These bad boys bake on the spot when you order, and they’re now a 24-​hour joint on Fridays and Saturdays. That’s freaking awesome. Melted butter and sprinkled sugar make these hot concoctions addictive as hell, and I’ll tell you now that you’ll burn your tongue because you’ll want some right when they come out. Worth it. You’ll thank me later.

Tips:

I highly, highly recommend coming here to try the señorita breads. They are delicious!!! Kind of like a perfectly baked croissant dough with a bottom of caramelized sugar. It gives you the best of both worlds: great bread taste and sweetness of a pastry without going overboard.
Depending on the time that you guy your wait time can vary by a lot. I waited about 15 – 20 minutes, but after the orders started to pile up, some people that came after me had to wait a whole hour!
100% worth the wait!

California Trip #6
(To the tune of «Twinkle, Twinkle»)
Señorita Bread
Tasty, tasty, yummy bread
I dreamt often in my head
Far away in west coast land
Tempt me, made me full of plans
Tasty, tasty, yummy bread
I dreamt often in my head
As my life story goes, I often see about wonderful, delectable things to eat from my friends in California. Señorita Bread (SB) at Starbread Bakery is one of those things. Food porn is a real epidemic on Unilocal and y’all should be ashamed. You know who you are! So, because of that, I had to board an airplane, and flew across the country just to try this SB.
I have to tell you that when I ordered my box of 10 and brought them to my rental car, I was famished. I had barely eaten all day coming straight from the airport. When I opened that box, I started to salivate and I wanted to dive into those warm, soft, and fresh loaves of bread. Instead, I burned my tongue and proceeded to eat about four SB until I made myself stop.
Overall, I thought they were delicious, but not good enough to fly across the country for them. Maybe I’m missing something. If they were filled with ube, they might get on my «OMG! Factor» list. They’re still wonderful and the value is fantastic. And don’t worry – I didn’t waste the leftover six. SB can be popped in the microwave for a few seconds while wrapped in a papertowel. I enjoyed them over the next few days while in California.

señorita bread on point! If you’re in the area… stop in and get a box. lots of parking in the lot. cash only unless your total is $ 10 to use your cc. Been here twice since I moved to the peninsula. Great to bring for any type of gathering or bring into work. My bf’s office loved them.

I’m hooked on the seniorita bread! It’s so good!!! It’s sweet with a little bit of custard in the middle. It probably takes 4 bites to finish one… Which means you can probably eat like 5 in one sitting. It’s definitely addictive!
It costs 25 for $ 10… It’s real cheap. Try it!

Señorita bread is the best thing ever. Why would you ever eat anything else if you can just eat señorita bread!
They make them fresh to order here. There’s a $ 10 min on credit cards.

Perfectly good tasting little pan de sal type bread and delicious when picked up fresh from out the oven. The señorita bread has a butter/​sugar filling that is melted when you first get them warm. It’s a real tasty snack. Hard to eat only one as it is perfect when it’s just baked. Also good reheated for a min or 2 in the toaster oven.
Starbread Bakery is located on Gellert Blvd. inside Ling Nam restaurant. It’s a totally separate business inside Ling Nam so you have to push the button on top of the glass counter if the baker is not there. They are open 24 hours a day on Fri/​Sat/​Sun. That was of convenience for me as I was flying out Sunday afternoon when I picked up 2 boxes of 25 pieces each late Saturday night. A box of 25 señorita bread will cost you $ 10.
Plenty of parking in the private lot all the businesses share in this plaza. Any one remember Gemco used to be there? The 80s! haha.

I’ve only been here once and I’m already going to give this place 5 stars solely for the SENORITA BREAD. My friends had been hyping up this señorita bread and finally took me to try it… and I fell in love.
The señorita bread comes out so fresh, so it’s hot! I burned myself eating it, but that didn’t stop me… it was SERIOUSLY love at first bite. The inside of the señorita bread is hollow with a thin perfectly sweet lining of custard (?) all around the inside. I don’t really have a huge sweet tooth, so this amount of custard was perfect. and it wasn’t too sweet either! I thought I would just eat one (just to try), but I ended up shoveling a lot more in mouth, one after another, without thinking. Yep,. that good.
Beware though, the bread is quite oily on the outside, so make sure you grab extra napkins!
If you have never been here for their señorita bread, do yourself a favor and GET SOME. you won’t regret it. Oh, and your life might be changed a little too. :P

There are certain businesses that are so synonymous with one aspect of their répertoire, that they become known for doing only that one thing. For example: Nestlé and Chocolate; Heinz with Ketchup; and KFC with diarrhea. Sure they do a multitude of other things, but certain facets just stick in the public’s mind. Take Starbread Bakery (SB), for example. You enter SB and see that they have a whole slew of baked in-​house goods available, and yet most people only know them, and go there for one thing: Señorita Bread. Is it fair? No, but it is what it is. Just take one taste of that soft, warm bread with the caramel-​butter filling and you’ll know why.
While the taste of Señorita Bread can be hard to resist, the smell can drive you just as mad. As soon as you put the box in your car the overwhelming smell of yeasty bread, caramelized butter and browned sugar starts to overtake your senses and turns you into an irrational beast. I remember my first time: I scarfed down a piping hot loaf and burned my tongue in the process – the very definition of the agony and the ecstasy. On my second trip I did myself a favor and stuck them in the back seat where I couldn’t reach them on the ride home, but the smell still drove me crazy. Here’s a few more tips on visiting this SB location:
–They share a storefront with two other businesses (Raging Boba and Ling Nam Dim Sum) so it may be confusing when you first walk in. Just go straight to the back-​right corner and look for the Señorita Bread price chart on the counter, and the buzzer next to it. If there’s no one there hit the buzzer and someone will come. They don’t make it until you order it, but they’re really fast; my two experiences have been less than 5 minutes.
–Order more than you think you want. They have a $ 10/​minimum on credit cards, so you might as well get that much – at least. They’re best fresh that same day, but they heat up surprisingly well in the toaster oven.
–The box comes out just as steaming hot as the bread itself. If you have delicate hands this might be an issue.
I should also warn you that one taste of the Señorita Bread and you’ll be hooked. People don’t call it «crack bread» for nothing, you know. I really wish they would open one up here in the South Bay, but until then I’ll just have to settle on coming here when I’m in the area. Feel free to try SB’s other goods, because I kind of doubt I will. Mabuhay!

I went here today, because I was craving bread, and I heard and read so many good reviews about this place. When you walk in the place, you see raging boba first then starbread is right next to it. Ring the white bell for service and someone will be out to help you.
The sign says the bread will be done in 6 minutes, but it didn’t feel like I waited that long. I bought 15pcs Señorita bread for $ 6,and it was worth it. They came out warm and smelled divine. The bread has a buttery taste with crystallized sugar on top. The buttery sweet combination is to die for. You can not eat just one piece, I’m guilty of eating 6pcs.

Review for the Señorita Bread Alone:
This bakery shares a location with Ling Nam and Raging Boba. Ample parking since there’s a parking lot. Get the señorita (AKA «crack bread») because they’re so insanely addicting. Fresh, fluffy, little pastries with sweetened butter inside, all baked fresh in 6min. Their counter is sandwiched right between Raging Boba and Ling Nam. If there is no one at that corner, ring the bell for service.

When I’m going to a large group gathering, I like to buy the 50pc box. Otherwise, I buy two 25pc boxes (one box to give to someone and another box for family members to share at home). You definitely can’t just eat one. They’re pretty small anyways so you don’t feel too guilty.

The Señoritas are light & airy pillows of buttery goodness! It’s hard to stop at one and even after I was full, I kept eating! Either they are just that deliciously addicting or I lack self-​control. I’d say it’s a bit of both! :) Order a box of Señoritas to share at your next gathering. The Señoritas are made to order, baked in 6 minutes. The hardest part is transporting the delicious goods since they’ll make your car smell like the inside of a bakery. It won’t be long until my next visit ;)

I was told that these things were bomb dot com. I was in SF and this is south Sf near Daly City so we made the trek down. Good thing this place is 24 hours and there is enough seats for a bigger group if necessary. There are different pricing options so like a box of 15 is $ 6 and 20 is $ 8. It increases but it is all incremental so you dont get it for cheaper if you order more. The Senioritas taste like the crescent Pillsbury dough things but with mo butta. I ate 4 and jeez these things are so damn buttery painful. I tried it fresh and warm and it burned but the best is when it cools down and the sugar crystalizes on the bread. yum! I also got this pastry that reminds me of the chinese wife pastry. It is dry and comes in different flavors including ube. It was good but I wouldnt crave it. Overall a good experience to try filipino bread
