The Cuban Bakery is a family-owned business that has been around for nearly 50 years. Rosa Porto started her business in her home after moving from Cuba to California with her husband and three children in the 1960s. When the line outside the store became too long, Rosa opened her first store in Echo Park in 1976.
Porto’s now has six locations in Buena Park, Downey, Glendale, West Covina, Burbank and the newest location in Northridge will open in 2022. According to the same press release, Porto’s now serves 2 million customers per month.
The company had previously announced the upcoming seventh location in Downtown Disney, but did not provide any information on a potential opening date. Tuesday’s press release now indicates that the new location will open soon. However, it was not immediately clear where exactly in Downtown Disney the new bakery would be located.
