In 1979, Victor and Milagros Valerio opened the first Valerio’s Bakeshop in San Diego, California. As a family of first-generation Filipino immigrants, they wanted to spread their passion for bringing people together around great food. This passion for creating community and sharing their culture was magnetic.  Over the following years enjoying Valerio’s pandesal became a cherished tradition in countless Filipino households, a daily ritual that brought comfort and a taste of home. Their commitment to authentic flavors and time-honored recipes made them an essential part of the local Filipino Community.
