You Can Now Get Porto's Delivered To Your House But...

Beloved local bakery chain Porto's has launched a delivery service, so you can order their famous cheese rolls, potato balls and guava and cheese pastries sent to your home. But when the goodies arrive, they won't be ready to eat.
The Bake at Home service, which launched today, lets you order various items that will be shipped frozen. When you receive them, you'll have to pop them in an oven, which will take about 30 minutes.
For the laziest among us who demand meat pies and dulce de leche besito cookies delivered directly to our mouths, or at least our desks, that's not ideal. But if you can't make it to one of Porto's four locations -- in Glendale, Burbank, Downey or Buena Park -- it's a great option.
You can currently order guava strudel, guava and cheese pastries, cheese rolls, dulce de leche besito cookies and meat pies via this option. The items are all sold in quantities of a dozen except for the besito cookies (which have 15 pieces) and cost $16.99. You must choose at least two items per order. Shipping costs $9 to $10.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
