The Bread Basket Bakery

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

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.

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

I can’t believed that they tricked my husband {who’s American) in buying the sticky rice suman instead of a kamuting kahoy (Yuka) Suman. He is supposed to buy five kamuting kahoy which he did by picking them up from the tray. But before he paid for them, he asked the cashier if they are all kamuting kahoy and she said yes, but then she gave him a sauce which he never asked what for? But once he’s home I asked him why he has a sauce included and he said I do not know, and I pretty much figured out that something was not right because kamuting kahoy does not need any sauce at all. And I was right, one of them was a sticky rice Suman. The cashier was very dishonest just to make a buck. So my fellow Filipino who is married to another race other than filipino, watch out?

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.

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

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!

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!

True to the other Unilocalers’ 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!

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.

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!

PAN DE SAL IS GOOD!
This is a Filipino Bread (dinner roll). I was told that this place have been here forever especially with the locals who lives in Daly City! This is their ritual place to buy the best Pan De Sal bread in town.
I would have to say it is better heated from a toaster oven than eating it cold. Maybe you will be lucky enough to go there when they have a fresh batch steaming hot fresh from their oven.
They do sell other varieties of breads but I only came for their famous Pan De Sal. Maybe next time — I will have to try their other pastries!
TIP: buy their mini pan de sal instead of the regular big one. It taste better.

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

I tried their chocolate chip cookies and its really fails to deliver. It was basically recycled bread flour with choco chips mixed in. Also much of the stuff aren’t so appealing. Perhaps, the next time they’ll have more of the sold out stuff that might be better.
The dinner rolls aren’t so great according to my mom, but better than nothing.

I couldn’t wait anymore to write this review. I know this is a popular spot that folks have been going to since it’s convenient and they do have good bread especially their pan de sal. However, they fail to follow rule no. 1. Don’t serve old food! I’m extremely disappointed!
Yesterday, a client brought some pastries and siopao (steamed bun) from them. I wanted to eat the siopao since it was still warm. I opened the bag of chicken siopao and had this unpleasant smile. I thought hmm, maybe coz it was tightly sealed. I took a bite of it and immediately warned my co-​worker who just ate a whole pork siopao and I went spit the food into the garbage can, got a glass of water to rinse my mouth. It was extremely gross to eat rotten siopao. I took a look at it and the unpleasant smell was there and the meat and egg inside didn’t look fresh at all. I warned everyone about it and informed our client to report this to the bakery.
My co-​worker was worried because he ate a whole thing. Apparently, he’s a guy who just puts everything in his mouth and never know what is spoiled and what’s not. He’s at work today, but suffering from it. He said that he’s been having stomach pain since last night and has been in and out of the bathroom.
I don’t know if serving old food is just a one-​time event or a regular practice for them. I can see one-​day old bread being sold, but that siopao was not one day old, it had to be older than that.
Come on get with the program! Serve FRESH food! Food poisoning is not cool.

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!

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!

5 stars for the daily made 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 ****

Two trips and bought three bags of the «pan de leche» (
), which is good for a quick snack, or a grab-​and-​go in the morning. The pan de sal is slightly different compared to the normal dinner rolls — it’s true you will need to warm it up so it gets crispier (the inside kind of broke apart when I tried spreading butter on it).
Small bakery to buy and leave (not a site to sit or hang). The ladies did not say anything to me unless I spoke first… since I was not a regular? Street parking is easy but «turn your wheel or you will get a ticket» due to the slightly sloping section of El Camino Real. Meter maids, wth is up with that eh?

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!
