Pooh Corner

Pooh Corner

We had the apple on the top. It's the Apple Pie apple and it was so good. I didn't think it would be just by looking at it, but the others all looked like they would do too much of a number on my teeth! So we chose that and I was glad we did. Yum!

The sorbet and Pooh Corner stuff looks yummy =)

Has anyone tried the bread bowl at DCA?

I am sooo hungry after seeing the creme brulee trio from Blue Bayou, and the fritters!! Yum!! I wish they had the fritters in DW.

So in April I tried the Mint Julep.... I took a big ol' gulp and started gagging it was horrible!

It's funny I loved them as a teenager but as an adult I don't like them nearly as much.

Pooh Corner

What exactly is a Tigger Tail? It looks yummy but what is it?????

 

[Corpsebride]

It is marshmallows covered in caramel and then covered in orange flavored white chocolate and put on a stick! Good stuff!

You mean the Porto's bakery? Isn't it awesome?!?! They have one in Glendale and one in Burbank now. Their meat pies and potato balls are TO DIE FOR!!! I could eat so many of them all by myself. LOL

We got some of those and a slice of raspberry cheesecake, some mango mousse, creme brulee, and a chocolate dipped strawberry. Their prices are great too. Only $2.50 each for the dessert items. Much cheaper then DL....

I have pics from there that I am going to post on my TR once I get to that part of our trip.

Yes - my sister lives just a few blocks away from the one in Burbank. I'll have to try the meat pies and potato balls this next time. Last time I just had their sandwiches, which were huge! And I could live in the dessert area of their bakery ... (I'm drooling for sure now!)

We are going to have to visit WWS - I've been hearing nothing but good stuff about it, so that's a must. And I do need to get my first Tigger Tail (have I already said that?)
Yum yum...

I've tried the Broccoli and cheese soup at Pacific Wharf Cafe and love it! The bread is so good, the soup too. I love to get the sourdough Mickey and just eat it with butter.

I've heard that about that drink. It's been compared to mouthwash, and never really appealed to me.

It's several marshmellows on a stick coated with caramel, orange and brown chocolate to look like Tigger's tail. I don't really are for them, even though I know they are really popular. I don't like the orange taste.

Oh my gosh, Beth... I was looking for where it was, thank you! I love broccoli and cheese soup and I saw it at Paradise Bakery, but I didn't get to try it, but then I remembered that the ones at DCA would probably be better anyways! Hehe! So, thank you! And by the way... (Coming from a 13 year old), the Mint Julep did remind me of mouthwash...
Oh, and the Tigger's tail looks great! I'll have to wait until I get my braces off to try it, though...

How cool. If I lived near one I'd be there all the time! I wasn't going to post these because they aren't from Disney, but then I thought maybe if anyone going to Disneyland was going to be in the Glendale or Burbank area they might want to try Porto's, so I'll post them anyway. I hope no one minds. I can always take them down if they do.

These are the desserts we got. Creme brulee, raspberry cheesecake and a chocolate dipped strawberry. Below that is the mango mousse. They are really reasonably priced too! Each of these items was only $2.50.

Here are the potato balls. These are really good and cheap too! In with them is one chorizo pie that we got to try. It was ok.

I broke one of the potato balls open so you can see the inside. Sorry they are kind of messy. It's just a light coating of crumbs, with mashed potatoes, and meat. Simple, but delicious.

And of course the meat pies that I could eat several of in one sitting.

The Glendale/Burbank area is about a 45-60 minute drive from DL depending on time of day and of course traffic. We've lived in both Glendale and Burbank which is how I know. So if anyone has car and is out that way, Porto's is definitely worth a stop over.
They have a website too: http://www.portosbakery.com/

You're welcome.


Pssst.... I did not like the Tigger Tails at all, so don't feel so bad. Sssshhhh, don't tell anyone I said that, they might come after me with pitch forks and torches!! LOL

OMG...I totally laughed when I read that, because just reading WHAT'S IN a mint julep makes me gag! I know I won't be trying those when we go in November.....

As long as Mrs Lovett isn't making them.....j/k

I had to Google Mrs. Lovett as I had no clue who that was. And then I kind of wished I hadn't!!

Well, then again, if hers taste this good..... well no, never mind.

Mmmmm...that sounds really good! I wouldn't have thought that by looking at it.

Me either. It's not as visually appealing as the others. But the lady at the counter actually said it's their most popular one. I can't even tell what's on it, but it's good. Well, if you like apple pie it is.

Oh my!!! I'm sorry I scared you!

For the record, those meat pies look sooooooooooo good! I don't think I'd be able to stop at just a few!
