About Valerio's 1979

Valerio's 1979 is a small, to-go bakery known for its authentic Filipino snacks and desserts. It is considered a hidden gem, especially for those craving traditional treats like carioca, which many find to be the best around. The bakery offers a variety of Filipino bread and pastries, with a particular highlight being the hot pandesal, available fresh in the mornings. Customers often enjoy the pan de sal stuffed with pork or chicken, which is kept refrigerated at the Cerritos location, unlike the Carson store where it sells out quickly. Other popular items include ensaymada cheese butter sugar brioche bread, Nutella and cream cheese pastries, and the ensaymada macapuno. The bakery also features Filipino-made potato chips and bread rolls called SPUTNIK, adding to its diverse selection.

The place has a friendly atmosphere, with staff being respectful and helpful. Although the overall quality of baked goods is considered average, the variety and affordability make it a reliable spot for a taste of home. Some items, like pancit malabon, are generously packed and considered filling, while others, like the Nutella and cream cheese pastries, may be a bit dry with limited filling. The bakery’s reputation is boosted by its authentic flavors, friendly service, and pleasant aroma, making it a popular choice for those seeking Filipino baked goods and snacks.
