Los Angeles | What Can You Get for $15 at a Dessert Shop? đ„đ«đ°
If youâre hunting for delicious, budget-friendly sweets in LA, Porto's Bakery and Cafe is a total game-changerâ$15 gets you a whole spread of treats that taste way more expensive than they are! đ âš Shop Info Name: Porto's Bakery and Cafe Address: There are multiple locations in LAâI visited the one at 315 N Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91203 As soon as I got near the shop, I saw groups of people leaving with Portoâs iconic bright yellow bags, stuffed with boxes of pastries. Even though it was a Thursday afternoon, the place was busyâbut the space is huge, so we found an empty table right away. The staff was everywhere too: no waiting around for help, and the guy who took our order was super patient, walking us through the menu when we hesitated. Top-tier service! đ What I Ordered (Total: Just $14.95!): Blueberry Cheese Croissant đ«The cheese was rich but not heavyâyou could eat half without feeling greasy. The blueberries were fresh and juicy, adding a nice tartness. The flavor was solid (not mind-blowing), but itâs a pretty unique comboâyou donât see blueberry-cheese croissants at many other bakeries, so thatâs a fun twist! Mango Mousse Bomb đ„This was the star! The mango flavor was intense and fresh, and the mousse was silky-smoothâgone in just a few bites. So creamy, so fruity, and totally æèł (amazing)âif you love mango, donât skip this! Guava Strudel đ§Itâs basically guava jam wrapped in flaky croissant-like pastry. The guava jam itself was sweet and fragrant, but the overall dish was just âokayâânothing super special, but still tasty. Cheese Roll đ§Portoâs famous signature item for a reason! The cheese was fragrant and salty-savory (no cloying sweetness), and the roll was soft and buttery. 100% recommendâthis is a must-try! Guava Lemonade đ„€I ordered this on a whim, and it was a nice surprise! Tangy, sweet, and perfectly refreshingâbalanced just right, not too sour or too sugary. Pair it with the pastries to cut through the richness. When I saw the total was only $14.95, I was shockedâsuch a steal for how much we got, and everything tasted fantastic. Affordable, delicious, and convenientâPortoâs is easily one of my new go-to dessert spots in LA! #la #LosAngeles #LosAngelesTravel #LosAngelesFood #LosAngelesRestaurantHopping #CaliforniaLife #HiddenGemDessertShop #DessertShopCheckIn #Cafe #CafeCheckIn #AmericanStudentLife
