What Is Worth Choosing
For first-time visitors or seasoned locals looking to explore beyond their usual order, Porto's offers a menu so vast that a perfect new discovery is always within reach. The bakery is beloved not just for a few items, but for its consistent quality across all categories—from sweet desserts to savory entrees.
While the Cheese Roll® is iconic, your visit is incomplete without diving into the savory side. The Potato Ball® (Papa Rellena) is a legendary crowd-pleaser; a perfectly fried, crispy exterior gives way to a creamy potato shell and a flavorful, seasoned beef filling. For a full meal that captures the essence of Cuban cuisine, the Plato de Lechón (Slow-Roasted Pork) is highly recommended. The tender, house-made pork is served with a Cuban garlic sauce (mojo), black beans, rice, and sweet plantains—a truly satisfying and flavorful experience. Alternatively, any of the pressed Cuban sandwiches, such as the classic Cubano with slow-roasted pork and ham, offer an excellent value and a punch of authentic flavor.
For sweet indulgences, beyond the famous pastries, consider the delicate Fresh Fruit Tartlet or a slice of the rich Parisian Chocolate Cake. New and featured items, like the Raspberry Matcha Eclair, demonstrate the bakery’s commitment to innovation alongside tradition. The sheer variety of high-quality items at exceptional value is what truly makes Porto's a cherished California institution. The enthusiasm of the staff, who work diligently and with patience even during peak hours, further enhances the experience, making the sometimes-long wait absolutely worth the reward.

Porto's Bakery and Cafe Reviews

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Their cheese rolls and guava cheese pastry were my favourite. They also have plenty of selections for their bakery section. They also have meal options which are mostly Hispanic or maybe Cuban cuisine - I only tried their pulled pork plate and it was definitely delicious. They also offer a variety of unique and fresh smoothies or combination juices and coffee. Basically display offers variety of options in different categories and they are all delicious. I have nothing to complain about. The only thing to say is that the store could be too crowded sometimes which is understandable because people love it.
September 16 · Dominique AraIf you’re craving unforgettable flavors, Porto’s Bakery is a must-visit gem that never disappoints! Everything here is extremely flavorful—from the savory pastries to the decadent desserts, every bite is pure perfection.Yes, there’s often a long wait and long lines, but trust me, the wait time is absolutely worth it. The staff members are extremely friendly, patient, and work hard to keep things moving smoothly even when it’s packed.I highly recommend making reservations and placing your order in advance if you can. Otherwise, be prepared for a 20-40 minute line to order, plus another 5-10 minutes to receive your food. But honestly, even if you wait, you’ll be rewarded with some of the best bakery items you’ll ever taste.Don’t miss out on Porto’s—it’s a delicious experience every single time!
July 07 · Nicco RobertsonAfter a day at Warner Bros studios we needed a refuel so stopped off in Glendale and went back to one of our favourites from previous California trips. As always Porto’s doesn’t disappoint. We had the Ham and cheese croissant, Potato balls, Chicken empanadas (very tasty indeed), Meat pie, Pork tamales ( my personal favourite) and Plantain chipsNone of the dishes disappointed, all were tasty with good portion sizes and there were absolutely no complaints from anyone in our party. For less than $20 ahead it’s an easy fix for a hungry clan. Without a doubt we’ll be visiting Porto’s again in the future.
July 26 · Charlie HobbsFirst time at Porto’s and definitely not our last!They have a little bit of everything, from savory to sweet and it’s all tempting.We mainly came for the pastries and matcha today, and they did not disappoint.Everything was fresh, flavorful, and worth the hype.Can’t wait to come back and try more of their dishes!
June 20 · Juana SaldanaThis was one of the first Porto’s I’ve been to and their famous cheese rolls are my favorite along with their plantain chips.I recently tried their slow roasted pork and a hot matcha latte. The pork was great, excellent flavor and very tender. Their matcha latte was really good, perfect temperature and just the right amount of sweetness.I’ve been coming here since I was a teen and always busy with lots of food options to take to work.
