Porto's Bakery & Café


I went to Porto's in Burbank today, and was not only completely overwhelmed with their elaborate selection of food & baked items, but I was in shock to see how bizarrely cheap everything was! I was extremely impressed with how fresh and flavorful everything was, and will certainly be going here more often. Seriously incredible.

Tarte Tatin


Tarte Tatin is a new bakery & cafe that popped up in a little strip mall near my house. When I went to try it they only had a limited menu, but I think by now they should have a full breakfast menu available.


However, they had plenty of pastries.


I tried this chocolate almond croissant. The outside was light crispy with flaky almonds and fluffy powdered sugar.


The inside was soft, warm and gooey and tasted equally of almond paste and chocolate. It was great.
