Thousands of Palmdale, Lancaster and other Antelope Valley residents commute every day to go to work in San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles and beyond. Because we are a well traveled community, we get to experience regularly a variety of great dining places in the greater Los Angeles area.
One of our favorite places for cakes is Porto’s Bakery in Burbank. Although, I personally have never been to Porto’s, almost every one of our family celebrations over the years have included Porto’s cakes and pastries. My sister Grace, who introduced us to Porto’s, is the one that would order and pick up the appetizers and desserts.
They have an extensive selection of Cuban / Latin style appetizers, cakes and other delicious goodies and have the winning recipe – great selection, delicious cakes and best of all, affordable prices. If you find yourself going “down below”, as we Antelope Valley people call the L. A. area to the south of us, stop by Porto’s.
Porto’s Bakery website tells the story of how Porto’s began in Cuba and continued the family cake making success in Glendale, CA. More on Porto’s food and history
