PORTO'S BAKERY AND CAFE REVIEWS

My first time at Portos Downey. I came with friends from Australia. I didn't know what to expect. Was shocked when I saw the line, but it moved super quickly. The service was amazing. The ordering and pickup process for my coffee and cafe item was clearly explained. The food was delicious. The potato ball was my favorite, but the breakfast empanada and pineapple empanada were also good. My husband liked his late with oat milk and really liked his chorizo and egg sandwich, saying the breadvwas really soft. We are eager to go again.

I've been to all six Porto's bakeries, and they all have excellent products and service. I love their breads, cookies, desserts, and cakes. Their cakes are great for parties and birthday celebrations. The other day, I remembered someone's birthday and craved a cake, so last Monday I bought one from Porto's, and it was delicious.

Always wonderful pastries and fast service! Wish there was one in Camarillo. I have to drive over an hour to get to the nearest locations, but it's worth it.

LA VILLA BAKERY #2 REVIEWS

Excellent place! I love it. The prices are cheap and the quality is very good. I think the friendliness of the people who work here is excellent, and that helps make it the perfect place. I live very far away, but I always stop by. I love the fresh products. May God help them and may they be able to open many more bakeries like this.

I highly recommend this place. The bread is delicious, the service is excellent, and the staff are very friendly. And the rosca (a type of sweet bread) is absolutely delicious.

Hands down the best bakery ever for the best bread! The girls at the counter are amazing and they are so nice! Love this place.
