When we went to Porto's Bakery and cafe we had no idea that there would be tons of food to select from. We had a cheese & spicy pepper potato ball, and the savory sampler. We loved every thing that we ate. The place was clean and the staff was more than helpful. Can't wait to go back.

Was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Lady that helped me was very patient and helpful. I even gave her a nice tip. Parking was a breeze. Very big difference from the Buena Park location that is super busy.
December 2025
Went in early for some pastries. The place was completely packed but the service was fast. The food was fantastic and the pastries made the night extra special. You can never go wrong with Portos cheese Rolls & the Refugiados are equally delicious 😋
