Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop — Restaurant in Milpitas

Lovely, clean, super fresh Filipino bakery in Milpitas we were introduced to while in Hawaii, they have bakeries there as well.

-Pan de Ube was what we had in Hawaii & as always is delicious, purple sweet potato filling is yummy and not too sweet!

-The Ube Cheese Pandesal is super good, not dense, not oily, perfect chewiness, just a slight hint of cheese & ube, will be getting these often too. Would be great w.a salad!

-Pork Filled Siopao (huge steamed buns) had just been cooked (around 1:30pm) and was being placed in the fridge when we were handed the still hot container of 4ct = $11.52. Delicious! No need for any additional soy sauce & apple cider vinegar dip we normally use with steamed buns.

-Their Turon ($1.25 ea) was ok, though we wouldn't reorder these as they are deep fried then slathered with a syrup glaze = super sweet & way too heavy/oily. Not for us.

Wonderful, sweet ladies work here, thank you to them. They had many patrons while we were in for the 1st time. Definitely love some of these Filipino baked goods and looking forward to sampling the other goodies...

Very unpleasant experience. It was dirty, packed wall to wall with junk, girl who took order not a native English speaker so there was a disconnect from the beginning. Ordered boba tea and it came only about 70% full and wrapped in cellophane because the lid did not fit correctly. I was so weirded out by the whole process I left it on the table and walked away just wanting to be done with this place. Will never EVER go here or advocate anybody else go here. It's broken down, not well cared for and either they don't get it or don't care,...

Filipino bakery, not the frosting cake kind, more bread items or steamed rice flour. Pan de sal is a favorite (toast it with butter). Pan de ube is tasty. Senioritas are good. There are many favorites to choose from. Leche flan is particularly yummy, pastillas de leche is particularly dangerous (tend to eat too much), chicken empanada is nice as well as turon (banana with langka). I have had their palabok as well. If you don't like lines, go early, although the line goes pretty...
