This place is always crowded! One day I wanted to see what all the fuss was about (because I've heard so much about their cakes), but I didn't get a chance to try anything because the lines were so long. But the other day someone brought in a birthday cake from them and it was so delicious! Their wedding cake flavors sound really good.

Cheap, tasty, and beautiful...what more could you want? Was it the most amazing cake I've ever tasted? No, but it was pretty darn good and at $250 including delivery for an 80 person cake (with tons left over) it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

Porto's is simply a must have for your home paries, their starters and deserts are simply the best.

We got lots of compliments on our cake! It was moist and tasty! Just the right sweetness. I just ate it (a week and a half later) and it's still really good! :D

Lourdes helped us from beginning to end and she was wonderful! Patient and attentive to the details. We changed our cake about 5 times and she redrew the cake each time for us with just as much detail. The baker created exactly what we wanted!

Only thing is delivery time was supposed to be 5pm, but they came at 4pm. Luckily, our florist came early and had the cake table almost done. When I asked the delivery guy if he could wait 10 min so the florist could finish the cake table, he flat out said no. That would be my only complaint because if my florist didn't happen to start an hour earlier than scheduled, the cake table would not have been set up yet.

So many of my friends have had their wedding cakes made by Porto's Bakery! I am thrilled to have hired them for my wedding cake. Each time I call them with a question, they are super helpful and patient. Their cakes are delicious and beautiful!

I was a little worried about getting our cake from Porto's, because other people had warned me that they weren't very stylish and didn't have creative flavors like a lot of the other cake makers do. Still, G. was very insistent that we get our cake from Porto's so we could be sure it would taste good, so I agreed.

We got the Cuban cake (yellow cake dipped in rum) filled with Bavarian cream and frosted with Italian meringue. I gave them a picture of a cake that had caught my eye and asked them to duplicate it as best they could.

Not only did the duplicate it, they improved on it! They did a very artistic version of woodgrain and then carefully "burned" it with a blowtorch to darken it.

And it was delish, too -- my husband's nephew (who normally doesn't like cake) admitted to eating two pieces at the wedding and taking seven pieces home. We were lucky to get a slice of our own cake to take back to the hotel.

Yummy and affordable. They do not have fancy designs, but if you are going for the simple look, they are the place to go. We livened our cake up with a cute cake-topper and a cake platform. Our guests were impressed that our cake actually tasted good.

Portos did a great job with our cake. We had a different flavor for each layer and a simple design that our florist Kerim just added fresh flowers to and it was gorgeous. The guests loved the cake and so did we.

Our cake was a finger licking Tiramasu!! Our guests loved it and took all left overs home!! We have gone to Porto's for all of our occasions before our wedding and so it was only natural to go to them for the most important day of our lives.

Our wedding cake was so tasty and looked beautiful! Portoâs is a family favorite, so we knew we wanted to have our wedding cake from them. The customer service was great from the time we walked in for the cake tasting âtil the end. We did our planning long-distance, so it was great that they were able to work through some last-minute design and flavor changes by phone.

The company who catered my wedding got my cake from Porto's. I felt so lucky to have such a beautiful, magnificent, and tasty piece of art for my cake. Everyone knows the wedding cake is almost the most important item in the reception room and it has to be an eye catcher. Mine sure was! No wonder Porto's has been around for so long!

Porto's is my husband's favorite bakery. Their designs are nice (nothing extraordinary) but the cakes are delicious! Our wedding cake was simple, and our florist added flowers to dress it up. Guests raved about how good the cake was!

Absolutely wonderful! I knew exactly what flavor cake I wanted because I've had their cakes many times prior to my wedding! However, I could not decide on the look. Our meeting with them was amazing. They were so patient with my indecisiveness and offered fabulous suggestions. I could not have been happier with the results! Thank you!!

The cake here is amazing. I ordered my wedding cake and the process was easy. I got lost looking for their office. No one told me it was upstairs!!

I have tasted their samples and it was SO HARD to choose one!! I ended up with half and half!

All our guests loved our cake! Not only was it delicious, it was exactly what we envisioned and ordering it was very easy. We had our florist put the finishing decorations so it was perfect. We had a strawberry layer, mango layer, and cuban cake layer.

Our wedding cake completely crumbled when we cut it which was heart breaking. Someone explained that that meant they must have frozen it previously which makes sense since they are such a busy store. The place is a mad house with wedding cake and birthday cake orders. But the price was really good and it was pretty, before we cut it.

Oh, and I purchased ribbon for the cake which I dropped off when I placed the order. I took extra just in case. They said they would drop the extra when they deliverd the cake. They forgot. Not a big deal but still if they would have remembered it would have been more impressive.

I really love their cake, I got chocolate raspberry and the carrot cake, everyone at the wedding loved the cake and I knew that once they took a bite into it, they were going to love it even more.

Lulu was really nice and understanding of my needs. You have to check them out.

Our wedding cake was as delicious as every cake we have ever ordered from Porto's - and that's a lot of cakes! We selected the mocha cake with vanilla custard, and the black magic cake with raspberry compote. Guests made positive comments about both flavors. I had a custom topper and ribbon which I dropped off a few weeks in advance. Everything was prepared exactly according to our instructions. We also rented a silver plateau from them, which was priced 2/3 less than the same plateau from a popular local party rental company. I cannot imagine wasting money at another bakery when Porto's has such fantastic cakes at fantastic prices.

Overall i had a good Experience with Porto's Bakery. My family has been going there for years, and they've never disappointed us. I ordered a 4 layer cake, with each layer a different flavor. When i saw my cake at the reception, i was more than happy. It was exactly as i had pictured it and tasted delicious. My only problem with porto's occured while trying to pay for my cake. At only 3 weeks before my wedding, they had lost my paperwork, and had no record of my cake. They would not accept my final payment after i waited 2 hours for them to find it that day, but called me everyday the week after ( once they had found my ppwk) asking me to please make the final payment. This just really stressed me out and made me very unhappy considering i had made every effort to pay them that day. My parents finally went in for me ( i was unable to because i live 2 hours away and they do not accept payment over the phone), and were able to speak to the owner, who double checked the order and made sure everything was okay.

As i said, the cake looked and tasted wonderful, but i wasnt happy with the customer service, excessive phone calls, and difficulty in trying to pay them.

I'm a huge fan of their cakes so I knew from the early stages of wedding planning that Porto's is doing my cake! The cake arrived on time and although it wasn't as moist as I had remembered, we still think it's one of the best (and affordable) cakes out there.

I had heard rave reviews about Porto's and when we needed a good looking awesome tasting cake, I thought Porto's. The cake was beautiful, and moist and tasted great. If your looking for a great tasting cake, check out Porto's, it won't be a waste of your time.

Porto has the best red velet cake ever. I had many tastings at other bakeries but Porto's Bakery had the best one. I tend to go with just plain vanilla cake but after having the red velet, I would love to eat that everyday (I wish!).

The chocolate on the other hand had a very plain out of the box taste. I did not like it at all. Many people commented on how much better the red velet tasted and I agree.

Can't wait to go back and get me some more red velet cake!

I have been going to portos since I was a small child, therefore it was a no brainer when I decided to order my wedding cake from them.

I made an appointment, and went in to order my cake. The person who helped us was very friendly and helped me figure out the logistics for the delivery (which was over 60 miles away).

The cake and desserts that we ordered were the hit of the reception, BUT the decorations on the cake were not as I had ordered them. I asked for very NATURAL looking flowers on my cake and I got some hideous turquoise orchids after I had been assured very tasteful decorations.

Be very clear on what you expect, otherwise the cake decorator will do whatever he/she thinks is appropriate, which may be very different from your particular taste.

Porto's cakes are deeeee-licious!

You really can't beat their moist, yummy cakes! Especially for the price!

They crafted a lovely shell cake for a Malibu beach wedding and it was stunning to look at and the guests had even more fun eating it! I have never seen so many guests stop dancing to enjoy a piece of cake! Really! Everyone devoured it! It was really fun to watch!

Ask Paulo to be your delivery man and order a medianoche preparada along with your cake! If you're hungry, their sandwiches can't be beat!

Sincerely,
Suzanne Carvlin
