Sweet & Savory Cuban Pastries - Choose Your Own 4 Dozen
Take your pick from a variety of Porto’s famous sweet & savory Cuban pastries!
Porto’s Bakery began in the heart of Cuba, where the 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. 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. 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.
