Soft, Warm, and Freshly Baked Daily

Few things feel more like home than the smell of fresh PANDESAL. At Valerio’s, we bake this beloved Filipino bread roll every morning using time-honored techniques our family has preserved across generations. Soft, slightly sweet, and perfectly golden, our pandesal has been a favorite in Filipino households across America for over 40 years.

Whether you grew up eating pandesal with butter and coffee or are discovering it for the first time, Valerio’s brings you the closest taste to authentic Filipino home baking.

What Is Pandesal?

Pandesal (Spanish for “salt bread”) is a classic Filipino bread roll made from flour, eggs, sugar, yeast, and breadcrumbs. Despite its name, pandesal is lightly sweet rather than salty, known for its soft crumb and slightly crusty exterior.

Pandesal is traditionally enjoyed for breakfast or merienda with:

Butter or margarine
Kesong puti
Peanut butter
Hot coffee
Corned beef, Spam, or eggs
Cheese and ham

It’s comfort food at its finest — simple, warm, nostalgic, and satisfying.

    Our bakers form each roll with care, ensuring a consistent size and airy texture.

    Breadcrumb coating

    Each piece is rolled in fine breadcrumbs for the signature pandesal finish.
  5. 5

    Baking

    Batches are baked fresh throughout the day for maximum warmth and freshness.
