Starbread Bakery

Be warned… this Vacaville store is recently under new management that is run by a rude manager that lacks customer service skills. I’m all about supporting local small businesses, but I will not support those that are run by disrespectful people.
Although the Señorita Bread is good, this establishment has lost my family’s business. I will travel the extra way and get my fix at either the Fairfield or Vallejo locations.

When I tell you this bread is soooooo good! I’m a huge bread fan (to the point where I walk down the bread aisle and smile from the smell) and my aunt told me about this place while I was visiting family in California. The staff was super friendly, the bread was delicious and hot, and the price was so cheap for all the yummy bread I got!

We can’t get enough of their Señorita bread! We haven’t ventured much on the menu, but we tend to order a lot of Señorita bread. The bread is always fresh and hot. Perfect addition to morning coffee or a hearty breakfast. We are so glad they opened up nearby. They need better signage as the store is hard to spot if you don’t know where it is.

Señorita bread absolutely yummy to my tummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Go get it!!! I’m going back next week!!!

Señorita bread is my weakness. Thank you for opening near my home. Friendly service and my bread is always warm and fresh. Love the free samples of the cinnamon ones too. See you again soon!

Love the bread wish you were open earlier I work at 545 am would like to bring treats to work but can’t or you could deliver

Its is a small no frills type of place where you go in get what you need and leave. I usually come in early so haven’t encountered any crowds and the service is friendly enough though I haven’t tried anything else but it all looks so good! You only come here for one thing señorita bread, you can’t go wrong!

Just went in for the first time and now this is my new favorite place. Thank you God for taste buds

Aaaaamazing bread!!! To die for, need I say more?

be careful with this branch. my 1 ½ yr old and i both chewed on broken glass or plastic from their coconut tart. i was wondering what was crunchy i thought it was the coconut so i just didnt think it was broken glass and threw it out but when i gave my baby a bite of another coconut tart he sounded like he was chewing on something really crunchy so i asked him to spit it out and i found the broken glass.
i called the store immediately and the lady who answered just said «ok, i’ll tell my manager and i’ll call you back.» she didnt even ask for my name or my number and when i was going to give my info she just said, «this is your number, right?» she just kept insisting she was going to talk to her manager and call me back immediately. i have been waiting and no call from them.
omg, my baby would have gotten hurt. i am now just praying he didnt ingest any of the broken glass.

Let me break down my experience in one simple way. Let down. I am, however, giving it three stars based on the fact that my family and friends have had it and they love it. So I decided to go give it a try with my wife and kids on our way out of town. We were gonna get a few different items to take with us on a family day trip. We arrived around 9:30am. Bad timing maybe, but they were out. Out of everything! This could be something as simple as a «rookie» mistake. Meaning because they are new (at least in Vacaville) they are unprepared for what or how many customers they might get.
I’m gonna go back again tomorrow and give them another try. Hopefully they have something… anything. My belly has been hurting since then

Open everyday at 6 am.
I came early on a Wednesday morning to bring some treats in to work. Luckily there was no one else there so I didn’t have to wait in line. The last time I tried to order senioritas was on a weekend, and there were at least 5 customers in line with the wait really long.
There was one girl working and she appeared behind the counter a few seconds after I walked in. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than one employee working at a time at any Starbread…
I ordered the senioritas and they were just as tasty as I remembered. If you’ve never had senioritas, they are finger-​sized breads with a buttery, sugary coating at the bottom and taste amazing hot out of the oven.
I also tried their mini cupcakes, which were ok. The chocolate & red velvet cakes were a little dry. I probably wouldn’t get them again and just stick to the senioritas.

I am one happy girl! So glad they opened a Starbread in Vacaville. This stuff is so addicting. I’m in heaven. Just as good as it is in Vallejo and only 2 minutes from home

* Welcome Experience

:sigh: I feel like this needs work, but if you asked 100 people I’m sure 99 would say «there’s nothing wrong with it»
It’s like a deli counter. People «group» up in front of it and wait to have their order taken. When you walk in, there’s a moment where you want to be acknowledged. Eye contact, a greeting, something. I don’t get that from this or the Fairfield location. Too much to ask? Maybe. Seems like a simple thing though.
Sometimes it’s awkward because the employee doesn’t know the order of the people waiting and there are certainly people who would, given the chance, skip everyone else waiting to get helped.

Like fellow Unilocaler Vedran V mentioned in his review, it’s stark in here with stacks of white boxes sprawled across your eye line. The menu is limited to seniorita bread qty /​price. Simple enough. Remnants of papa johns were kept in some places. It’s functional and works fine.

It’s not friendly but it isn’t unfriendly either. Just leaves me wanting a bit more.

Seniorita bread is a one-​of-​a-​kind treat that doesn’t exist anywhere else except for starbread as far as I know.
The dough isn’t sweet. It’s very soft and moist, almost like a really fresh hot dog bun. It’s the butter /​honey glaze they hit it with while they are hot that make it burst!
I especially love the ones that are surrounded by other sentiorita breads in the box, because there’s no dry surface, it’s all just moist and soft and buttery and chewy.
I tried everything else one morning because it was just sitting out there looking all yummy. Everything else was just ok.

Oh Señorita Bread, you will be the death of me. Thank you for opening up so close to my work. You now give me motivation to excercise, as in, walk across the street to get a box of your fresh hot goodness.

I think Star Bread in Vacaville deserves 10 Stars for their amazing Señorita bread!!!
I’m very impressed by the softness and the taste of señorita bread its so unique and different. I was first introduced to the bread from some coworkers that I worked with at the Solano Mall before I had moved. I wish there was a Star Bread Bakery closer to where I live in Vacaville.
I come here every so often to bring some to my family & friends.
Star Bread Bakery is my favorite Bakery in town, it’s very yummy they remind me of a sweet glazed doughnut, but yet better. It’s even better to have Señorita bread with coffee or tea!!!

I will never be the same now that this place has moved in around the corner from my house. Seniorita bread is one of my favorite guilty pleasures and when I saw the sign pop up for it where the old Papa John’s was I almost crashed my car in all the excitement. (Ok, not really, but I squealed like a little girl and immediately stopped to buy a box of 30 to share with the people at work.)
Anyhoo, the seniorita bread is just nothing less than perfection. The plain flavor is mildly sweet so I’m looking forward to trying the other flavors mentioned in the other reviews. It comes highly recommended and the best part is that it is super cheap.
I will likely be visiting here often. Additionally, I will be needing bigger pants.

Can’t say I’m glad to see Papa John’s gone because there is always some downside like folks losing their jobs (and in this case, unpaid wages), but that was one dreadful pizza. possibly the worst in town. Feel bad for the workers, but I’m sure they are better off somewhere else. So with one business gone, another one takes its place as is usually the case.
Starbread doesn’t need whole lot of introduction for anyone that is familiar with señorita bread. For the matter of fact, I don’t know anyone who gets anything else besides senoritas at Starbread.
The looks of the place are in line with the older sister location in Fairfield. The counter still reads «better ingredients» (LOL), and there is no decoration except if you consider hundreds of stacked white boxes a form of art. When a place looks like that and thrives, it’s usually an indication that they are doing something right. And Starbread senoritas are yummy. The closest description would be a cross breed of a donut, hot dinner roll, and croissant. Just like at other location you can buy anything from a small bag with 5 pieces all the way to the huge box with 60 pieces.
If you have kids or just feel generous and want to share, I recommend getting the $ ¹⁰⁄₂₅ piece box. Sounds like a lot but the senoritas are small and literally melt in your mouth when fresh so the box will be gone before you know it. What I noticed is Vacaville Starbread senoritas were a tad sweeter than the ones I got from Fairfield but I’m not sure if that’s by design or not.
Maybe one of these days, since this location is also very close to my work, I will try something else besides senoritas. But since they do them so well, every time I step in I always get the same…$ 10 box.

Glad to have it closer to home.
Fairfield isn’t that much further away, but this is nice that they’re popping up elsewhere.

Well I’m very excited we have a Starbread here in town! Stopped in for some Seniorita bread (of course) and a few pieces of Turon. Everything was delicious!!! Hot and fresh. This is going to kill my diet! Oh well
