You can never go wrong with Porto's for delicious food-chicken plate to pork tamales. And there's so much in between, like salads and sandwiches! Let's move on to my hearts sweet desires for besitos, savory pastries and cakes to celebrate any special occasion. And top it all off with cafecito, tea or freshly squeezed orange juice. Don't let the long line deter you from coming in! They are so organized, friendly and efficient.

Visited Porto's in Northridge two days in a row and overall had a good experience! The pastries were definitely the highlight! We tried the chocolate, churro, guava, and almond croissants, and they were all delicious. The spicy cheese croquettes were just okay for me. I was a little disappointed with the lechon sandwich, though. I've had it at another Porto's location and really enjoyed it, but this location seemed to miss the mark. I actually came back the next day to give it another try, but unfortunately felt the same way. First time trying the strawberry matcha here and will definitely come back for it. The place itself was clean and well maintained. Customer service was a bit of a mixed experience. Yesenia was wonderful! She was patient, friendly, and took the time to recommend items, which I really appreciated. Rose, who helped at checkout, was also very friendly. Unfortunately, my interaction with Amber wasn't as pleasant. She didn't come across as very welcoming, and I felt rushed while ordering, even though there wasn't a line behind me compare to the day prior with Yesenia. I also wanted to give a shout out to the guy managing the drinks in the photo, he did a great job even dealing with a spill. I couldn't get his name but he deserves a raise dealing with different customers and maintaining a calm, cool environment for us.

New items: - dulce de leche pumpkin cheesecake: perhaps this needed more refrigeration when I tried it - the texture was too runny. The chocolate bottom was good though. - mini pumpkin pie: standard pie, and good crust. - parisian cake: a standard chocolate cake, not bad. Another shout out to the napoleon cakes that are always so crispy here because of the constant turnover.

My daughter was dying for me to come to LA to eat here. Unfortunately I was sick. However, I did try the Cuban sandwich. A few bites delicious! I can't wait to try my pumpkin pie. I don't know why I haven't been feeling well. Everyone was so attentive. I love this place!

Pastries

I've been a fan of Portos ever since I was little because it always showed up at family functions. I usually go to the burbank or glendale locations but this is my first time at the Northridge location. I wish i lived closer because I love this location! It feels much more spacious and cohesive when you enter. They have separate picks up for the cafe, kitchen, food, and cakes which makes ordering super easy. Portos service is always top tier no matter what location you go to. They guide you to which line to go to and even if the lines are long they always move quickly. We ordered the pan con ropa vieja and cubano which are our regulars when we come here and it never misses. Since its October, they brought back a lot of their seasonal favorites such as their turkey and gravy potato ball which I anticipate for every single year!! I also tried their seasonal pumpkin chai sweet cream latte and it was delicious you'll like it if you're a fan of anything pumpkin spice. They also had cute halloween deco up which makes it feel really festive when you walk in. Literally anything at portos is delicious and you'll definitely find something anyone likes, regardless if they like sweets or not. There are so many places to sit as well indoor and out, I feel like it has the most seating out of the other two locations I have been to. Parking is ample since they have their own lot. If you cant find parking at the lot you're free to park at the Northridge mall and walk over. Overall this specific location has become my favorite and I will forever be a goer of Portos!

Porto's in northridge is a busy place but they do serve fast. The food is not disappointing. Coffee is great addition to your meal. So many options here. I cant leave without a big bag of goodies. I look forward to coming again.

Pulled Plato de Lechon (Slow-Roasted Pork) with extra pickled onions

We hadn't been in awhile so we decided to grab lunch and desserts to take home. The line was the shortest we've experienced to date. I love the old fashioned feel of having your own person write down your order, grab your items, and present them to you!!! We had the pulled pork plate and guava lemonade. I always order extra pickled onions, so good! Unfortunately, the pork was dry and even crusty on many pieces, so I was disappointed. We took home a loaf of sourdough that was delicious!!! I had a scone and my son had a chocolate croissant to bring home. Always excellent service, clean tables, and a beautiful display of pastries and breads.

It wouldn't be a SoCal trip without a visit to Porto's! This was my first time at the Northridge location, and I really loved the layout of the store and the overall location. So! Much! Parking!! I interacted with so many employees, probably closer to 6-7 (lol), and every single one of them was so friendly and helpful! I also really appreciated the two lines for the bakery, which helped manage the long lines. They definitely have a system going, and the efficiency is top tier. The mocha latte was perfect, but the ube matcha was on the overly sweet side for me. I ordered the drinks online, and I do wish there were options for customizations, but unfortunately, you have to order the drinks as is. The pastries, on the other hand, especially the cheese rolls, never miss!!

Porto's has always been good to me. I am always grateful for the fact that we now have a location in Northridge, which is a welcome change from my childhood. The cafe has a warm interior, perfect for meeting friends for a meal and dessert. If I had more friends living in the area, I would ask them to meet at Porto's for a meal or coffee. My dad over these last few years has gotten into the habit of picking up Porto's randomly for the house, so I am often pressured to eat a large volume of potato balls and croquetas on random weeks. Life could be worse. It feels like a good idea to order ahead for pickup, but on weekday mornings I have either been getting quite lucky or just happen to go early enough to beat crowds and do walk-in pickups for cakes for my workplace. This alleviates whatever anxiety I have from the Porto's website not allowing online orders during certain hours. I like to pick up the fruit tarts and also try out their other specialty cakes. I came by here for dinner one evening with some friends (I got the ropa vieja plate, and it was expectedly good), and I was moved by the assistance we were getting from one exceptional Porto's crew member Julio. He went out of his way to help me and my group out, immediately got our table clean and even helped us grab some to-go containers and utensils. The whole Porto's team is usually quite professional, but Julio stood out to me. Mad props to him. As a Yelper, I try to try new restaurants often, and it might feel like a cop-out to return to Porto's because it's easy to get good food here. However, for any special occasion that calls for a cake, I trust Porto's.

The newest Northridge location - Pan con lechon: always tasty with crispy plantain chips! - New pistachio macaron sandwich: delicious! with chocolate and pistachio cream! - Meat pie: flaky with good amount of meat - Chicken empanada: love the flaky crust - Chicken sandwich: alright, too much mayo

Porto's is definitely the place to be! There's a reason the building is so large! We tried all kinds of pastries and the matcha tea was great! Endless dessert, pastries, sandwiches, salads, & drinks to try.

Porto's Bakery is a classic destination for incredible baked goods. I can only vouch for the savory chicken empanadas on this review, which feature Rosa's original recipe, a hand pie filled with Cuban-style chicken fricassee, with slow-cooked chicken breast, carrots, raisins, peas, onions, tomato sauce, and Spanish seasonings. They are very good and very filling! Just be prepared with something to drink while you eat, because the pastry is so delightfully flaky that it makes you thirsty. If you are looking for delicious, authentic Cuban baked goods and savory hand pies, Porto's is a great stop.

Ask the Community - Porto's Bakery and Cafe

Do you Serve breakfast?

Porto's is a great place for breakfast!

Can I request mango to be on the fruit tarts for a special 100 year old birthday celebration?

Personally I would go in person!

Hi do you do custom made cookies if so whsts the price range?

No, Porto's does not make custom cookies.

What time do they start serving lunch?

Lunch starts at 10am...and just in case if anyone wants to know...last order to order breakfast is at 1030am.

You should just call the place to get the best, accurate answer.

What's the best selling sandwich at Portos?

The Cuban sandwich

Hi do you do custom cupcakes for baby shower?

Yes, they do.

Long line. Hurry up?

Yes lines are long, especially around lunchtime. Better luck to go around 3:00 before schools get out

Do they let dogs in the outdoor seating?

Yes, absolutely! They're pet friendly

Do you have any vegan cakes?

No Porto's doesn't have vegan cakes.

Will they ever bring back the original menu with all of the tasty danishes and cookies that they had prior to the COVID shutdown?? A lot of my favorites are not being offered :(

Your best bet is to just call them and ask.

How do I order King'd Bread!?

Call directly to place the order (818) 534-5210

Is there a time slot and day(s) when they have fewer people in line?

I had asked the cashier that exact question when I was there. The cashier's answer was when they first open at 6:30 am!

Can the bakers pipe inscriptions (ie., HAPPY BIRTHDAY) on any of the cakes?

They usually just give you a happy birthday sign to put on the cake. That was my experience but it never hurt to ask.

Is the catering menu back already? Smaller pieces and I think it used to be order of 50/100 pcs?

They recently told me I had to order the same size potato balls etc as sold in the bakery so I don't think the old catering menu with smaller pieces is back

Will Porto's be open on Labor Day? If so, what are the opening/closing hours?

They were open on Independence Day. The website says that they will be open till 630 - 430 ...holiday hours

How many people does the coffee cake serve?

Depends on how big you slice it, but you can get 8-10 pieces out of it.

How come I cannot order sandwiches?? It's not listed for pick up orders...?

Cannot place online orders for sandwiches or entrees at Buena Park location. Surprisingly, those items are available to order for delivery through UberEats. Just as surprisingly, UberEats won't let you order anything Pick-Up from Porto's.

Are there delivery services for pick up?

Portos no longer has in-car pick up. You can order pick up, but will need to go inside to the preorder counter.

Is there Wifi?

No there is not

My favorite halo-halo spot!…read more I come to Cafe 86 all the time, and honestly, their halo-halo is one of my absolute favorites! It's probably the ONLY halo-halo I can actually finish because it's not overwhelmingly sweet. Everything blends together perfectly, and you can actually enjoy all the flavors without feeling like you're eating a bowl of pure sugar! Both their regular Halo-Halo and Upside Down Halo-Halo are SO GOOD! I also love their calamansi drinks and Cali-Mango Slush. So refreshing and delicious! The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. They even have a cute little mini library with books, which I love! There are always people studying or just hanging out, and it has such a nice, relaxed coffee shop vibe. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently good. I love having a place nearby where I can enjoy my favorite Filipino desserts, relax, and just hang out.

Such a good underrated spot for some drinks with their filipino-themed flavors and some teas!!! My…read morefriends and I decided to come here because of a really good deal and we were all saying that we should come here more often because of how good the drinks were. You can either order with the staff or order through the kiosk on the right side. You have an option to type on the text box if you need to change the milk to oat milk, for example. I always ask for just in case they do have oat milk so if you have any special requests, depending on how busy it is, might be better to talk to someone to order!!! The Tiger Tea was really delicious and was a good amount of sweet. The Mermaid drink was a fav from my group. I really liked the Milo and the Ube Milk teas. They were pretty quick with the orders so it's not too crowded inside of people waiting. It's very cozy inside and there's warm lighting and some books too for people to read. Public bathroom in the back.

Pumpkin spice hojicha latte: the sweetest of the bunch, but thought the spice complemented the hojicha. I actually don't like hojicha lattes but this worked for me. Pistachio matcha: at first, it was too creamy but I had to mix it more. I could have used with slightly less milk but this was great. Pistachio americano: they add pistachio syrup to the coffee so it is a bit sweet. The cream top with the crushed pistachio is nutty.

They were on the pricier side, but I think the quality was there and they were worth it. Everyone in our group enjoyed their drinks! The cafe has an entrance from the street and also connects directly to a parking garage, which was super convenient since it was raining when we visited. The interior is clean and minimal, with an open-space aesthetic. There's a large shared platform seating area in the middle, along with smaller tables along the walls, so there's a decent amount of space to sit and hang out. Service was pretty straightforward, not particularly warm or friendly, but our drinks came out in a timely manner. Overall, we had a good experience and would definitely come back to try more of their drinks!
