NORTHRIDGE, CA — As if a Porto's in Northridge wasn't good enough. The bakery recently added a new sweet treat to its menu, and it's rolled in cinnamon sugar.

The long anticipated Porto's Northridge location opened in April 2022, a grand opening met with lines and tons of online buzz.

The famous bakery recently added a new item to its menu that turns its beloved croissant — reportedly one of the best in LA — into a sweet churro-style treat. The "Sweet Churro Croissant" is glazed in simple syrup and coated with cinnamon sugar. But not just any cinnamon sugar, cinnamon carefully sourced from Indonesia.

"All these factors combined make our cinnamon sugar mix sweet, fragrant, and warm," a Porto's representative told Patch.

The bakery recommends pairing the churro croissant with a latte.
