✨ Why Everyone’s Obsessed with Porto’s Bakery in Buena Park

If you’re staying with us at one of our North Orange County properties—like Hello Sunshine Fullerton or Vista View in the La Habra Hills—there’s one place you have to visit at least once (but let’s be real, probably twice): Porto’s Bakery & Café in Buena Park.

🍰 A Southern California Legend

Porto’s isn’t just a bakery—it’s a SoCal institution. Founded by Rosa Porto, who started baking from her home after immigrating from Cuba, this family-owned bakery has become famous for its high-quality pastries and Cuban-inspired comfort food, all at prices that feel too good to be true.

The Buena Park location is Porto’s only spot in Orange County, and it’s massive—spanning over 24,000 square feet! Whether you’re grabbing breakfast, lunch, or a box of treats for the drive home, it’s worth the stop.

🥐 What to Order (Trust Us)

You can’t go wrong, but here are a few fan favorites to get you started:

• Potato Balls® – Mashed potatoes filled with seasoned ground beef, breaded and fried to crispy perfection.

• Refugiados® (Guava & Cheese Pastries) – Sweet guava and creamy cheese wrapped in a flaky pastry.

• Cuban Sandwich – Layers of roast pork, ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard on fresh Cuban bread.

• Cheese Rolls® – Light, flaky, and filled with sweet cream cheese—order more than you think you need.

• Dulce de Leche Cake Roll – Yes, it’s as dreamy as it sounds.

They also serve fresh salads, savory pies, coffee, smoothies, and more. You could come every day of your trip and still have more to try.

🕒 When to Go

Porto’s opens daily at 6:30 AM and runs until 8:00 PM. It gets busy—especially on weekends—but the line moves fast thanks to their super-efficient staff. Pro tip: order ahead online if you’re on a tight schedule.

🧁 Our Take

Porto’s is the kind of place that brings people together—families, friends, and foodies all gathered around a box of guava pastries. Whether you’re fueling up before a day at Disneyland or winding down after the beach, it’s a stop your tastebuds will thank you for.
