Pro tip: Get a dozen potato balls shipped to your house.
Like everything at Porto’s, a bake-and-home order is an incredible value. A dozen guava-and-cheese strudels or a dozen potato balls are $16.99. That same price also gets you a dozen empanadas or a dozen meat pies or 15 cookies. Porto’s likes to keep to things simple and affordable.
The refrigerated shipping varies, but you can, for example, pay a $24.99 shipping cost for four dozen pastries sent to Brooklyn. Factor in a $10 discount for your first order, and that means 48 items in Park Slope for about $80. Those of you in L.A. can still drive over to pick up freshly baked Porto’s items. I’ve been telling friends that Porto’s curbside pickup is as efficient as an expertly planned military operation. You would expect nothing less from a group of bakeries that feel as vast as airplane hangars and serve millions of customers every year.published a piece that called Porto’s’ “the most beloved bakery in Los Angeles.” It was a truth that was self-evident.
Porto’s is in the business of selling great food, but you also get indelible memories. So when I go there, I think about how my son stuck his finger in his Lightning McQueen birthday cake from Porto’s before we could take a picture of it. I think about how I took my parents to Porto’s not long ago and how they flipped out and said they preferred Porto’s to any Chinese bakery. I think about how they’ve insisted on getting guava pastries every time they visit L.A.
A few days ago, I posted some photos of my most recent Porto’s order on Instagram. A friend who had recently left L.A. and moved out-of-state DMed me and asked me to send him a potato ball. I told him that he could now easily get a dozen shipped to his house. I’m pretty sure I’ve changed his life.
