Starbread Bakery — Restaurant in Riverside

I literally just left Starbread Bakery and these piping hot, pillowy soft, buttery goodness called Señorita Bread is as good as I remember them.

The last time I had these were in Northern California years ago and I’m so glad they have more locations in Southern California. This shop is located in Riverside on Magnolia Ave near Tyler St, close to the 91 freeway. They’ve been open for a while and I finally remembered to come out here.

Aside from their popular original Señorita Bread, they also sell them in different flavors. In addition, you’ll also find rolls of bread, cupcakes, donuts, Malasadas, a couple savory cheese items, and refrigerated drinks.

The prices are much more than what I remember them to be but they’re still very affordable. The Señorita Bread are such a yummy treat. Today, I ordered two (2) boxes of the 30-piece original Señorita Bread. One box will be gifted and the other is for my home. I couldn’t resist and I had to eat one in the parking lot! Sooooo so good! These make such great hostess gifts or just something to have with your coffee.

I love the open space here. I did notice some out-of-season Christmas decor and the glass display case holding the packaged breads that needed to be wiped down. The young lady who helped me had a welcoming smile and had a positive attitude.

The shop is in a plaza so there are plenty of parking spaces. Their bakery is the first door on the left of the plaza.

Thanks, Starbread, for these delicious (and addicting) sweet, pillowy morsels that melt in my mouth. I’ll...

Very disappointed. First time trying this location. We've always gone to the one in Anaheim but saw this one opened up and though to try it. When we got there it was busy, but we didn't mind to wait. Waited about 20-30 minutes and so we knew we were getting it fresh which was great, but as soon as we opened our box we knew we'd be disappointed. We didn't see the rolls glistening of butter/sugar which was a first red flag because everytime we've gotten rolls from Anaheim that's the first thing we see when we open the box & we didn't see it here at the Riverside location. 2nd red flag was how super dark some of the rolls are. We knew it was over cooked.

So after judging the looks of it we thought maybe the taste will be different & after biting into it yeah NOPEEEEE taste exactly the way it looks. DRY. OVERCOOKED. The sugar underneath the rolls were hard as well so we knew the sugar crystallized and weren't the right textured. Really really disappointed especially when we go the 60 pieces for family and friends to enjoy, but no one liked it.

Also the guy at taking our orders wasn't knowledgeable on anything and always said he had to "ask his wife" when we asked questions. He was also very unprofessional and seems like he didn't know what was going on or what he was doing. Very very disappointed and sad that these rolls aren't what they're supposed to be. Now we have to drive far to Anaheim just to get good rolls because this location was really...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Starbread Bakery, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the atmosphere.

One thing that stood out to me was how impeccably clean the place was, reflecting their commitment to hygiene and quality. But what truly stole the show for me was their bread selection. Fresh and piping hot, their breads are simply irresistible.

In particular, the Senorita bread stole my heart. It's an absolute gem and, in my opinion, a much better option than donuts or bagels. The perfect balance of sweetness and softness makes it a must-try.

Another standout is their dulce de leche bread. Rich, indulgent, and utterly delicious, it's a flavor sensation that I highly recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth.

Overall, my experience at Starbread Bakery was nothing short of fantastic. With their warm hospitality, spotless environment, and mouthwatering breads, they have definitely earned a loyal...
