No it’s not better than Porto’s. But it is way more expensive than Porto’s.

I swear, Obra must have the best marketing team. I really wanted to like it, but the food was mid, and the coffee was so bad I just threw it away.

Author bio. So this is an ad, basically. There’s no disclosures about not taking money for reviews, so pretty much the bakery paid to have this written, then shares it as earned media.
Fuck this astroturfing nonsense. If there’s a way to blacklist sites — even little influencer blogs like this — do it. I can’t imagine there’s more than a couple hundred dollars involved here total, but it’s still worth discouraging this shit.
EDIT: oh, even better, the author is sharing it themselves. Man fuck this.
