Overview
- Porto’s and Disneyland confirmed via official social posts that demolition and building work are underway at the former La Brea Bakery site near the Esplanade.
- The newly released images show a two-story design with expansive outdoor patios, rooftop seating, a lounge, and an express window for take-out.
- Plans call for a bakery counter, quick-service cafe, and a separate sit-down restaurant supported by the brand’s first full bar.
- City permits authorize tearing down the roughly 2,600-square-foot La Brea structure and two adjacent ticket booths, with utilities capped and foundations removed.
- The temporary Earl of Sandwich in the space closed in November, and a permanent location is being built on the district’s west end for a winter opening, while Porto’s has not provided an opening date.
