Gjusta

Dining here is truly a treat for the senses. The food is absolutely exceptional, with all the sweets striking the perfect balance—not too sweet. I dislike desserts that overpower with sweetness, as I prefer to savor a range of flavors. The fig tart and bread were nothing short of perfect, delivering a delicious experience that brightened up the world. The flatbread and baguette are also noteworthy, and the coffee complements everything flawlessly. My friend and I had a wonderful time soaking in the delightful vibes. One thing to note is the wait, which can be pretty long, but it's worth every minute of anticipation!

Who would have known that behind this simple gray door there would be a delightful, full-service bakery. In fact, Gjusta is more than a bakery. Yes, there is fresh bread and pastries. And, there's more. Deli options. Breakfast menu. Espresso bar. And, to top it off, there's a private patio. We placed our order and found a fantastic patio table. Our order was promptly brought to our table. From then on we thoroughly enjoyed a leisurely breakfast. It's hard to say whether our meal or the environment was best. Combined, everything was fantastic. While Gjusta may not be a secret, to those who have had the experience, it is more than a bakery. It is worth a try.

Food is tasty but menu isn’t up to date. Pastries availability vary and the earlier, the better. Nice terrasse with rustic seating options. Delicious coffee. In all, good experience but little to no service.

The food here was great and the service overall was fantastic. We got the prepackaged cookies as well and also tried several sandwiches. Everything was amazing. However, I am giving these guys four stars and might have done even less for the travesty of organization that encompasses this ordering process. This place runs on a classic ticket system, being from NYC I have no problem with this system and it gave me slight joyful nostalgia to grab a ticket and watch the numbers climb. However, upon arrival there was a long line and as a tourist I had zero idea the place operates on a ticket system. The tickets were about 20 feet past the start of the line and no one near me in the line knew we had to grab tickets or that the line was pretty much imaginary since they didn’t serve based off the line. The signage explaining the ticketing system was made with pin on white letters that were so small most people with sight issues would completely miss it and everyone else would gloss over that text due it’s size and think it’s not important. Although I dislike a lack of organization and signage, this wasn’t where things went bad. About halfway through waiting in the line, a staff members steps out from the express section and starts handing people tickets. It appears that they now want to embrace the ticketing system. The issue arose after the staff member gave out the tickets and the person who was first had number 70 but the person that was last had number 30 and the guy who set the number machine that determines whose next in lien started at 30! Immediately chaos erupted as the last guest to enter ordered before the first guest, whom was waiting an hour at this time. The first guest argued with the man taking the last guests ordered and the employee chose to validate the decision rather then empathize with the customer. It was messy, rude and felt slightly crazy. I truly felt bad for everyone walking in waiting behind people, all of whom had no idea the line meant nothing and they should snake through and grab a ticket. A place like this is meant for locals who know the system. For the tourists, it is a chaotic and unwelcoming scene when the restaurant is busy. Also the welcome sign detailing the ticket system, said the employees don’t consent to photos, which felt aggressive but ok. They don’t want to be on social media I guess? When we ordered a drink from express, we were not informed where to pick it up and had to discover ourselves that we had to fight the waiters grabbing coffee to get our to go drink. This place rang chaos and local only vibes. My favorite quote was on the way out I asked a few people waiting in line: Me: “are you waiting in line” Guest: “honestly I don’t know” Disorganization reins supreme at Gjusta.

Super cool, trendy cafe. We came from Vancouver and noticed that this place is very popular with fellow tourists and locals alike. Huge line even at off times, but they have a cool system where you take a number and wait if you have a larger order, or join the express line for drinks and small eats. Very nice patio outside as well, I feel it does a great job of fitting into the surrounding industrial area while expressing some flair and refinement. Would recommend if you’re in the area.
