Porto's Cheese Roll
Prices and details last checked: Oct 24, 2026
The Cheese Roll is the pastry most people walk out of Porto's with. It's cheap, it's sold by the dozen, and it ships frozen across the country.
Here's what it costs, what's in it, roughly how many calories it has, and how it stacks up against the rest of the pastry case.
What is the Porto's Cheese Roll?
It's puff pastry wrapped around a sweet cream cheese filling, with sugar baked onto the top.
Porto's makes the pastry with European-style butter, and it bakes up in thin, flaky layers.
Porto's calls it a guest favorite, and it sits next to the Potato Ball as one of the two items the bakery is best known for.
Cheese Roll prices and sizes
| How you buy it | Price | Per roll |

| Dozen, at the bakery or online pickup | $12.99 | $1.08 |
| Bake at Home dozen (unbaked, frozen) | $22.99 | $1.92 + shipping |
Buying the dozen saves a little on every roll. Delivery apps usually charge more than Porto's own ordering site.

Ingredients and allergens
Porto's describes the Cheese Roll as puff pastry made with European-style butter, a cream cheese filling and a sugar topping.
It doesn't publish a full ingredient list or an allergen chart. From that description alone, the Cheese Roll contains:
- Wheat, from the puff pastry.
- Milk, from the butter and the cream cheese.
We can't confirm egg, soy or anything else. Porto's bakeries also make nut and meat items in the same kitchen, so tell the counter about any allergy before you order.
How to order a Cheese Roll
- Online pickup. Order on Porto's site for same-day pickup at any of the six bakeries. Ordering for the next day opens at 10 PM, and pickup runs 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM at the Preorder Counter. Bring the card you paid with and a photo ID.
- Walk in. Every bakery sells them from the case, singly or by the dozen. Weekend mornings have the longest lines.
- Bake at Home. Outside Southern California, order a frozen dozen from Porto's Bake at Home store. The minimum order is two dozen items, so add a second dozen of something else.
