I really love Porto’s Bakery and Cafe.
The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and affordable. Their pastries are famous for a reason — the cheese rolls and potato balls are always warm, crispy, and full of flavor. The cakes are beautifully made and not overly sweet, perfect for birthdays or family gatherings.
Even though it’s often very busy, the service is efficient and well organized. The staff works fast, and the quality never drops. Porto’s has a welcoming atmosphere that feels both lively and comforting, making it a great place for families and friends.
It’s one of those places I can visit again and again and never get tired of. Definitely a must-visit in Southern California.

Went back to see and ordered Christmas cakes for the holiday gardening w/ family, friend & my close family. Still a place to go for good bakery, cake, cafe & coffee. Parking is big and private, there are staff everywhere guiding you to where to go, weather for cake order/pickup, bakery for baked goods, cafe for snacks and foods, coffee for varies coffee choices. The prices are still unbeatable, especially at the current economic & holidays time. Services at each section or anywhere are great, warm & friendly. The place is vey clean, airy and bright from outside. There are several seating sections for dine in or just rest after checking out the baked goods (it’s alot and can be overwhelming), they do have patio seating too. Came in for couple items that to get but walked about with 4 bags of goodies. Glad most of the goods are bite sizes. Will see you soon for cake pick up. Workout time.

Parking is horrendous but be patient because their turnover is pretty quick. There is an attendant on the first row to assist people crossing
The moment you walk in, you are greeted with 2 lines. Both can fulfill your dine in and/or take out order. Really efficient and personalized service, you talk to one person when you place an order and when you pay, that same person ensures it is correctly charged

Come here for a quick breakfast & coffee fix, sweet & savory pastries, and special cakes! I wish there were more locations throughout OC because this is the only location closest to me.
Parking: Finding a parking spot is a nightmare here. They have a private lot, but it’s always busy and tight.
Ambiance/Environment: This is a large location. It’s always busy inside. They have indoor seating, and I don’t believe they have outdoor seating. There’s multiple lines, and honestly you can order anything from any line, with the exception of the coffee bar.
Service: Although it looks extremely busy, throughput is quick. Shout out to every worker busting their a—. Each worker is quick & efficient.
Cakes, pastries, & coffee: My go-to pastries are the potato croquettes and cake slices. My favorite cakes are red velvet and tiramisu. Their cakes are extremely moist, not dry, and not too sweet. Their coffee is decent. The lattes are sweet and do the job. I usually get the most popular dulce de leche latte. Skip the matcha.
Pricing: Prices went up over the years, but honestly what hasn’t gone up? I’d definitely come back for their cakes and pastries! I wish they offered a reward system through the app. Not much benefits when you download the app; it’s just for mobile ordering.

Worth the wait! Went on a Saturday morning and had to try what Porto’s is about. Absolutely worth the wait and the parking battles during the busy Saturday. Once I took a bite of the cheese roll all my worries melted away haha. I ordered a whole bunch of pastries knowing I won’t be back for a while and will be freezing the rest. The pastries are reasonably price and all are delicious, some of the pastries didn’t make it back to the hotel. I see why people are flipping these pastries on the street! ☺️
