Porto's Bakery

Amazing and delicious cake!!! Our cake from Porto's was provided through our venue, but that didn't mean the quality of what we received was any less. We worked with Karen at the Glendale store and she was great. For our tasting she put together extra samples that we requested in advance so that we could try flavors that are not on the "popular" tasting menu. Everything was delicious and it was so hard to narrow down the flavors!! We ended up picking black magic with chocolate fudge for our biggest tier, white cake with vanilla custard for our middle, and red velvet with cream cheese for the top. The day of the wedding, our cake not only looked gorgeous but tasted so good!! Every layer was moist and delicious. We had several people hunting down the venue waitstaff to get more cake!! We are lucky Porto's was contracted with our venue, but we would have still chosen them even if they weren't. Yum!!

Porto's is the best value for wedding cakes! I was so surprised because everyone had told me wedding cakes were expensive and usually over a few thousand dollars but Porto's pricing to be extremely reasonable. We spend $600 on a cake for 125 people. We did our tasting and then brought pictures of what we liked from magazines and they delivered exactly what I wanted! I am so impressed with them!

Our wedding cake was from Porto's through the contract with our venue, Calamigos Equestrian. Even though it was the only bakery selection we had through the venue, I was glad it was Porto's, given their reputation. The cake tasting and design appointment was OK, though not terrific. We thought the staff could have been a bit more friendly and accommodating. But I guess since we were there during the weekend, they were busy and thus less attentive. Nevertheless our cake turned out beautiful and delicious. It was exactly as we had wanted and tasted amazing! We went with the red velvet for the top and bottom layers, and the white cake with mango for the middle layer. The cream frosting design (fondant was not part of our package; it would've been at additional charge) was a beautiful and simple ivory to match my dress. We saved our top layer and I can't wait to have it on our first anniversary!

We gave them a picture of the wedding cake we wanted and we got exactly what we were asking for.Great service and very reasonable prices!! And the cake tasted delicious.

Porto's Bakery is amazing. There's a reason there are lines out the door every weekend. The cake was beautiful. I went with a three tier white cake with smoothing surface and beaded piping around the edge of each tier and I added fresh flowers. This cake, first of all, was an amazing price. The best price of all the bakeries I visited, but that's not why I chose Porto's. We chose Porto's based on their flavors and moistness of the cake. It was sooooo delicious. I honestly can't wait to eat my top tier at my 1 year anniversary.

I came here for a cake tasting for my wedding. The appointment was easily made online and I was told that Saturday was a great day to come since I can try more flavors. Since my cake is part of a hotel package (Hilton Woodland Hills), the selection is quite small and several cakes which have fondant ribbons or fresh flowers are extra. Since I am a budget bride of course I did not select one of these cakes, but one which was a bit old fashion but pretty overall. We got a small slice of 6 flavors and opted for the chocolate cake. The person who helped us, Gloria, was great, nice, and very professional. After the tasting we went to get some baked goods and cakes to take home. The lines were quite long but the place is well run and there are tons of people taking orders. Everyone there is great and professional. One can see why this place is so popular. Its also quite inexpensive and their desserts are just beautiful!

The cake tasted great, it looked simple and elegant. Just what we wanted. We've had pastries and food here before, we go back often.

Our cake was exactly what we wanted simple and beautiful. We got the cuban cake with guava filling de-lish!!

Absolutely impressed with Portos Bakery for wedding cakes. Our first appointment went very smoothly and professionally. We were offered coffee and cake tastings and were able to look through book decor options and speak with the cake designer about what we wanted. We went back several times to add things and change colors and each time were treated very professionally and offered cake/coffee/chairs and personal customized service. Our cake was perfect, exactly the color swabs that we brought in and completed with personal decor pieces that we had specified with Portos. They even helped us glue our glass cake toppers to Styrofoam free of charge so that they wouldn't break. Cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Definitely recommend for people who like light, airy cakes with perfectly sugared frostings and intricate designs.

When I told friends we got our cake at Porto's they were very happy. This place has an impeccable reputation in LA for a reason. Our cake was beautiful, tasty and delivered on time although the bakery and venue were two hours apart. The staff was a delight to work with when choosing cakes and flavors always willing to go the extra mile, and even provided our challah.

I bought a regular Milk n' berries for our wedding cake. It was beautiful, delicious, and my coordinator just walked into the bakery on the day of and bought it! at $23, it's gotta be the cheapest wedding cake in history. My only regret is that I didn't buy 2 since it was so cheap!!

There was no question in my mind that I was going to order my wedding cake from Portos! I went to a bridal expo and tasted a few samples from other bakeries. None of them tasted as good and they all costed more. Sometimes it was over a $400 price difference. If you are getting married in or around Los Angeles look no further. There is a reason this place has been in business for over 50 years and is consistently busy every time you go in there. Their cakes taste better and cost less than any other bakery I found. The customer service is excellent. It was one of the easiest vendor decisions I made. There was no question about it- I was ordering from them. I was extremely happy with the presentation, design, and taste of my cake. I will continue to order every cake I need from them. I ordered my wedding shower and birthday cake from them the past two years. And every time you go in there you can have a tasty lunch-as they are a restaurant as well.

We got our appetizers, wedding cake, and assorted other cakes from Porto’s. Everything was beautiful and tasted just as good as at the bakery. The wedding cake was beautiful, and exactly matched the written description that we designed during our tasting. Everyone was impressed with the quality of the food. The delivery was about an hour late, despite several phone calls where I had specifically stressed the importance of it being on time, but the cakes arrived in perfect condition and it turned out OK.

The cake was delicious. Everyone loved it. It arrived on time and looked super nice!

We had Porto's for our wedding cake through our choice of Calamigos Equestrian for our reception for our wedding April of 2011. We worked with Karen. She was simply amazing!!! For very little extra beyond what we were already supposed to pay Calamigos (and they paid Porto's), she was able to make us not just a simple cake but the enchanted forest wedding cake I had found a picture of online in our wedding colors. Working with her was really wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! Oh and by the way, of course the cake tasted absolutely delicious!!! :)

Totally disappointing experience. Cakes were either soggy or dry, the place was a madhouse, they throw a few pieces of cake on a plastic plate, they are very expensive for what they offer. We had to wait a very long time and they were trying to help several clients at the same time, we had to ask for water. The ingredients taste like they come from a big plastic container. We did not even get to sample the cakes that I was interested in.

I got soooo many compliments on this cake!! People are still telling me 27 days later that the cake was phenomenal and I absolutely loved it!!!

Can you ever go wrong with Porto's? I don't think so! My wedding cake was included with my reception package through Porto's so I didn't really have a choice when it came to a bakery but I have always loved Porto's and I knew that I wouldn't have to worry about a thing. I designed the look of my wedding cake and took in a hand drawn picture of what I wanted. I was a little worried because I am by no means an artist but my cake turned out looking exactly how I wanted it to look. It was beautiful! It tasted great! I couldn't be happier.

I've always loved Portos Cuban Sandwiches but I also loved my cake from them. Not only did they make a beautiful cake that was consistent with the inspiration picture I gave them, but it was also very yummy! I highly recommend Portos. We will definitely be returning to them.

We totally wanted the mocha mousse cake after having had it at other occasions (including a wedding reception) but alas the mousse frosting was a melt risk for our September wedding in the Valley. Yikes. We had also wanted Red Velvet (I never met a Red Velvet cupcake I didn't like) but because of the cream cheese frosting (which would also die in the Valley heat), Porto's advised us not to. Sigh. Then at the tasting we had the cuban style cake. 3-4 layers of golden cake, interfrosted with vanilla bean custard, and guava filling! HEAVEN!!!!! and the lightest buttercream you ever had (which was ivory and matched my dress and the color scheme). We were given the cake top before we went to the honeymoon suite and I totally ate 1/4 of that thing that night. True confessions. Porto's is totally the best deal and super yummy and moist! Not your typical wedding cake! And let me underscore (as others have all over the forums) that the cake samples at the tasting are really dry and don't accurately portray how tasty Porto's cakes are. try ordering the equivalent from the dessert counter (they're super duper cheap anyway!).
