Porto's Bakery

Porto's Bakery began in the heart of Cuba, where the captivating scents of founder Rosa Porto’s family's recipes filled her childhood. Her love for baking blossomed in that aromatic kitchen, leading to her one-of-a-kind cakes being shared with neighbors and friends where she unknowingly was creating a reputation that would follow her a lifetime. From humble beginnings and a dream for a better life, Rosa and her husband, Raul Sr., embarked on a cake-filled adventure.

Upon emigrating from Cuba and reaching California, she opened her first storefront on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park in 1976. What started as a small, home-based operation soon flourished into a beloved bakery. Today, Porto's is renowned for its signature treats like Cheese Rolls®, Refugiados®, and the famous Potato Ball®, as well as an array of cakes, sweets and savory delights. Rosa's legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren, who, alongside a dedicated team, continue to craft irresistible baked goods and carry forward the cherished Porto's tradition. Porto's has gradually grown into six current locations in the Los Angeles area, with a seventh location in Downtown Disney on the way. Rosa’s recipes and high standards continue to be carried on by her family, and now their most popular pastries and cakes are shipping nationwide!
