Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop — Restaurant in Tukwila

Service and Atmosphere: 4 Stars The staff, including both the bakers and cashier, were friendly. The bakery itself is clean, well-organized, and has a charming atmosphere. However, I did notice that some items were missing price labels, which made it a bit inconvenient when deciding what to purchase.

Product: 3 Stars The bakery offers a wide range of options, but unfortunately, the quality was inconsistent. The plain ensaymada from the display case was stale, though it did have some flavor. The suman cassava was bland and lacked depth of taste. The most disappointing was the cream cheese ensaymada—out of the three I purchased, each had raw dough throughout the entire bottom and sides. To make matters worse, paper wrap and a red label from the plastic wrap had stick into the bread, rendering it inedible. The coconut topping was too roasted.

That said, not everything was a miss. The top portion of the cream cheese ensaymada was flavorful, though it only made up a small portion of the product. On the positive side, the kutsinta, puto, hopia, and pan de coco were excellent—both fully baked, well-balanced in flavor, and enjoyable.

Overall Impression While this bakery clearly has the potential to deliver high-quality products, it’s concerning to see underbaked items being sold. With more consistency and attention to detail, this could be an outstanding spot. I would return for the kutsinta, puto, hopia, and pan de coco, but I hope improvements are made to ensure the rest of the menu meets the same standard.

My dad and i ate one of the dessert that we bought there. I threw the container never thought anything . We came home my dad and I got so sick. He got stomach ache diarrhea for couple days. I threw up but not diarrhea. .we ate the one looks like a round donut with coconut . I believed 9 or 10 in one container cost $7.99 . Then the siopao were very salty .We bought alot . I had to throw everything afraid we will get sick more. Never again buying food there. By the way we are from Everett. We heard alot of good things about this bakery but we were unlucky . Our experienced was bad..I just learned also one of the review says no expiration date on the labels. Could be old the one my dad and I ate. Oh my God ..I learned something....

So many cool looking treats, desserts and breads. We ordered a few things to try a variety. The cheese roll was soft and delicious - would definitely buy again. As for the chicken empanadas….very disappointing. They have a tough dough/pastry which was really thick and the filling was very sweet and peppery with chicken and carrots…quite odd. As for ordering, we got some other items and when we checked our bag…what we we asked for wasn’t what we got :(

They also tried to charge the people in front of us $56 when their real total was $27. That was also sketch. Fun place to visit but...
