The Ube roll cake is fantastic, super moist, soft and fluffy.

Who doesn't get Valerio's when going to south center? We had to get these because it reminded us of our childhood! Love it

Nice employees, food choices are great, atmosphere is newly constructed. Hopefully they can stock all the existing food that were advertised like all puto flavors etc.

Great bakeries if you are looking to try something new and yummy! You won't regret it.

Stopped by to get some puto for a friend who is moving. Did not expect them to have so much weight! The woman who rang me up threw in a bag of pan de ube, too. Unexpected but a very welcome surprise. Would definitely recommend. Surprisingly better than most of the Filipino pan de ube that I get from some Asian markets in Seattle.It is pretty cramped inside the shop. You get more than 2 people looking for something, and you'll run into each other. But overall a nice find.

Be careful, I bought pastries listed as $5 but as soon as I pay they charged me $7 . I ask the cashier why and I was told the sticker price was not the real one as it has changed. Whenever you pay her always pay attention as to how they charge you!

Their Haba-Haba is the 'King Cake' of the Philippines!

Valerio's is conveniently located in the Southcenter Mall, specifically in Seafood City, so I always try to stop by if I'm in the area. They have a huge selection of wonderful, desserts and pastries, all made fresh, and was extremely reasonable prices. Everything I've had has been delicious!!

Very pricey and overrated. $4.40 for 4 small pieces of karioka and $10.99 for 8 pieces of sapin-sapin? Mediocre taste at best and totally not worth it.

Great selection and I’m glad the prices are very reasonable! They also accept Apple Pay!!

BEST PANDESAL EVER!!Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop in Tukwila has THE BEST pandesal and beats out to any of the Valerio's pandesal I've tasted in Southern California.If you've never heard of pandesal (or pan de sal), it's Filipino bread that's mainly eaten for breakfast with coffee or tea.The first time I tried the pandesal from this bakery was when I was visiting my brother in Washington and he warmed some up for breakfast. My family and I enjoyed it so much and asked where he got it. His local Filipino store carried the Valerio's pandesal made from this Tukwila location.This bake shop is conveniently located less than 3 miles away from SEA-TAC airport! We went there before our flight to bring some bags back home and to bring back to my family. Why not?I don't know what makes them so much better than the others but it could be the Washington water - I don't know.To give you an idea, I like my pandesal barely toasted in the toaster oven (200-250°F for like 5-7 minutes), or when time is short a quick 10 seconds in the microwave. The pandesal here is so fluffy inside and full (not hollow like other pandesal). It's got a good weight to it. When you pull it apart, it's got some stretchy pull to it. And it's not too chewy and not crumby. It is perfect!! And the taste is slightly sweet - I can't rave any more about it. It's just good!Now, enough about their 10/10 pandesal. This Valerio's is actually located next door to Seafood City inside the Westfield Southcenter Mall. They have 2 aisles of Pinoy (Filipino) pastries and desserts in the display case. We really only came for the pandesal but also brought back other goodies to try. And, yes, the treats taste better in Washington!!The prices are affordable too, just like most Pinoy bakeries.The service is okay. I'm only knocking off a star because, during my second visit, their "LINE STARTS HERE" sign was located in 2 places. Like, where does the line really start? It confuses the customers like the Lolo who cut in front of me, and the cashier knew it. Oh well. Overall, I came here for what I needed. And what I got was the best pandesal - nothing else out here in SoCal can match the fluffy yet dense pandesal from Valerio's Tukwila. It definitely is a nice treat and I appreciate it so much!

Great quality and broad selection. Reminded me of what my Aunties brought to the family gatherings.

The service has gotten worse everytime I've been back and that is very seldom! Altogether, I have actually avoided coming here anymore. The prices have been increasing far too fast and the quality and quantity does NOT match the increased prices!Just like any Filipino shop - always thinking they could get richer faster by jacking up the prices. You actually lose (your) business quicker this way! Hello?!!
