"With the Milk’N Berries cake, Porto’s Bakery levels up its classic tres leches with layers of whipped cream and a bevy of berries including blueberry, strawberry, and blackberry. The entire creation, spiked with just a bit of brandy, is finished with more whipped cream, additional fresh berries, and powdered sugar. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor" - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
"A popular Cuban bakery and LA institution that began in 1976 in Echo Park and expanded with a flagship in Glendale and additional locations in Burbank, Downey, Buena Park and West Covina. A planned Northridge Fashion Center opening originally scheduled for 2020 was delayed by the pandemic; the chain now hopes to open the Northridge outpost in the fall, possibly September or October. In the meantime it has been teasing the neighborhood at the weekly Wednesday evening farmers market, offering best-sellers like potato balls, cheese rolls and chocolate chip cookies to give locals a taste." - Matthew Kang
"Southern California’s beloved Cuban bakery put together a seamless pickup process. Though the menu is slightly limited, Cubano sandwiches, potato balls, and entire cakes are available. An online order confirmation also comes with a designated and numbered parking spot. Pull-in, and a Porto’s employee will walk the order to your car." - Mona Holmes
"Porto’s Bakery has developed a very good car pickup system where customers drive up, stay in their cars, and get food dropped off by staff after ordering online." - Eater Staff
"Porto’s Bakery, the massively popular Cuban spot with locations across Southern California, is teaming up with Pali Wine Co. for a big party to celebrate the one year anniversary of their tasting room. The Arts District affair runs June 2 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and not only features Porto’s guava pulled pork sandwiches and potato balls, but also new salad and dessert items unique to this particular event. For $25, diners will also be able to get a paired glass of Pali wine, served right in the wine company’s tasting room at 811 Traction Avenue." - Farley Elliott
