About and visit notes

Welcome to Porto's Bakery and Cafe in Buena Park, a culinary landmark that has become a genuine Southern California institution. While California is home to countless incredible eateries, few possess the rich, authentic history and passionate following of Porto’s. This family-owned bakery and cafe, with its roots tracing back to Cuba, offers a remarkable fusion of world-class pastries, signature savory items, and a full café menu that has captured the hearts and taste buds of locals across the region. For anyone in Orange County or visiting the area, a trip to Porto's is not just a meal—it's an essential California experience.

The story of Porto's begins with founder Rosa Porto, who started baking and selling cakes from her home in Cuba to support her family during a challenging time. After immigrating to the United States in the early 1970s, Rosa continued her passion, eventually opening the first official storefront in Echo Park, California, in 1976. That family dedication and commitment to using the highest quality ingredients in every recipe, a philosophy Rosa lived by, is still the cornerstone of the business today. Though Rosa passed away in 2019, her children and grandchildren proudly carry on her legacy, ensuring that the original Cuban recipes, combined with new international flavors, remain a consistent delight for every patron. The Buena Park location is a shining example of this legacy in Orange County.

The atmosphere at Porto's is famously vibrant, often bustling with customers eager to get their hands on the fresh-baked goods. While you might encounter a line, the quick, efficient, and friendly service makes the wait worthwhile. The sheer variety of offerings ensures that there is something for every occasion, whether you are planning a grand party, grabbing a quick breakfast, or simply treating yourself to an afternoon pick-me-up.

What is Worth Choosing at Porto's Bakery and Cafe

The abundance of options can be overwhelming, so focusing on the most iconic and highest-rated items is always a safe bet.

First and foremost, you absolutely must choose one of the famous savory items. The

Potato Ball®

is a must-have; its crispy exterior giving way to the perfectly seasoned, meaty filling is a flavor that is uniquely Porto's. For a full lunch experience, the

Cubano Sandwich

is the gold standard for authentic Cuban cuisine in Southern California—its mix of tender pork, ham, and pickle is perfectly pressed for a satisfying crunch.

On the sweet side, the choice is clear: start with the

Cheese Roll®

and the

Refugiado® (Guava & Cheese Strudel)

. These two pastries are frequently hailed by customers as some of the best-value and most addicting treats in the entire region. The buttery, flaky pastry paired with the sweet or savory filling is pure comfort food.

Finally, for a party or family gathering, the

Milk'N Berries® Cake Round

is consistently recommended. It offers a fresh, not-too-sweet alternative to heavier desserts and embodies the light, spongy texture of a classic tres leches cake. For a unique experience, consider getting a dozen of the unbaked

Cheese Rolls®

or

Potato Balls®

to take home and bake fresh in your own oven, a service that brings the Porto's tradition right to your kitchen. Porto's Bakery and Cafe in Buena Park is more than a place to eat; it's a piece of California's rich, diverse food culture that offers exceptional quality and unbeatable value with every item.

I have to stop by whenever I’m in the area. I’ve been here many times and this is the first time there wasn’t a long wait (I visited at 7am). This location can get very busy depending on the time when you visit. There are two areas/lines for ordering so it’s a bit better but still expect a long wait. They got both indoor and outdoor dining areas but they are normally pretty crowded as well.Guava strudels are my all time favorite. I didn’t order them this time but i also really liked the ham and potato croquettes, Cubano sandwich and plantain chips. I’ve tried so much and literally everything was good. The price is very reasonable and hasn’t changed much in years.

Oh what an experience! I wish they had more of these types of eateries everywhere! Beware, you will love it but it will be busy! There's plenty of dining area, just order and sit and enjoy. No reservations, just be prepared to stand in line for a bit, order a fancy coffee drink, some food, and then just wait for your food and sit with some friends and enjoy the ambience. My sister got a free fruit tart because we all met there for her graduation lunch. I recommend you try everything there, there's something for everyone.I've tried the ropa vieja sandwich (eat it right away bec the bread will be soggy, it's so tender and great!)The chicken milanesa is such a delicious and healthier alternative (love the plate lunch)For my vegetarians, try the soups and the feta sandwichPastries: please try the famous cream cheese danishes, they are simply the bestThe besitos are little cookies with caramel filling (I feel like they can be shared bec they are super rich)The chocolate danish pastries are great for my chocoholics looking for something light.The Churro croissant was so good that I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it.We've ordered their milk and berries cake (tres leches) and it's not too heavy on the leches, very spongy, very good!I ordered their cheesecake with fresh strawberries which was ok, nothing to write home aboutTheir mango mousse cake was a hit for my mango loversAnd if you want to make an impression for the next party, bring a box of their meat pie empanadas and a box of their cheese rolls (cream cheese pastries)I try to go every time I'm in the area! Chefs kiss all the way!

Love love love Portos!!One of the must visit/stop whenever we’re in LA visiting our friends. I make sure to grab few of the these goodies back home again.☺️The cheese rolls are incredible, along with the chocolate croissant, cookies.On my recent trip I tried their breakfast guacamole cheese along with an almond croissant. Taste was good and the portions were great.I would love to try their shipping options.

It was our first time here so we ordered different things including sandwiches and pastries. The cubano sandwich was good, the turkey and cheese croissant was okay, the croissant itself was good. We came for the pastries. I was expecting them to be really good since there was a LONG line…seriously. This place is packed. The opera and Parisian cake slices tasted like your average chocolate cake. Cheese roll was good. The place was confusing, they definitely need to have someone directing people to the right section.

Great establishment. It was packed when we came but for good reason. Atmosphere felt like it’s already the weekends but we went on a Wednesday. But the place was packed with all kinds of people. Customer service was top notch. Even though the place was busy, the servers were on point, they were professional, quick and efficient.
