Filipino or Cornfed American, I challenge you to walk in to Valerio's and come out empty handed. I do not think that it is possible.
They have ensaymada in a few different flavors the size of my head! They have fresh Spanish rolls, cheese bread, and countless other delectable goodies!
The staff here is friendly and if you ask nicely they will go get you warm fresh pandesal.
I have not yet visited the Philippines but in my mind, it is going to be filled with amazing little corner bakeries like Valerio's!!
