    Sourdough concha and bollio and chocolate pan
    Martin Q.

    Now that I have been back here three times I am so excited to leave a review. My favorite things are the bollio and concha. The way their bread is so soft drives me crazy. I have never had a bollio or concha as soft and supple as they can make it. This place has inspired me to learn how to make a sourdough starter from how good it is. The only downsides: a long line to get in at times, street parking can get tricky based on the time of day, a little pricey. Each bread is about $4 or more but it's worth the price if you can afford it. None of these make me feel like it's less of a five star place. The place is really small. You probably will never be able to eat inside but tbh this place is perfect as a Togo option as well. I have also tried an entire sourdough loaf from them and it was so good and keeps soft if you store it in an airtight place. Don't get it though if you don't eat bread every day cuz it can be a lot in quantity. My advice. Come in and try the chocolate concha and whatever drink you want. My favorite thing to do with my parter is to come here get a box of six and then grab a Tierra Mia, the perfect combo. Cant wait to see this place open more locations

    Salted Tamarindo this was spot on.

    Stopped by this morning and went for a Tamarind drink. Sour and sweet. Perfection. I also got the sesame seeded twisted bread which was a tear and share with friends.

    Bread aka Pan

    Continuing my chocolate chip cookie quest, I stopped by Gusto Bread--a charming little panadería that keeps things simple and does them well. Great baked goods, solid coffee, and an easygoing neighborhood vibe. I tried their SPEIT cookie (still no clue what it stands for, but I'm not losing sleep over it). It's a salted chocolate chip cookie with crispy edges and a soft center, plus a slightly grainy sugar texture that adds a nice little crunch. Sweet, salty, and balanced--just a really well-executed cookie. Score: 8.5/10 The bakery itself is small but inviting. A couple of chairs out front for a quick patio sit, plus some indoor seating. Perfect for a relaxed coffee + pastry stop. Bottom line for me: A strong entry on the cookie quest. If you're in Long Beach and want a bakery with personality (and a cookie worth the calories), Gusto Bread delivers.

    Outdoor seating
    Janine M.

    I had been to Gusto years ago, and it seems like in that time they have undergone some beautification and expansion. Kudos to them on the growth! The place is very aesthetically pleasing. About four tables inside and the rest of the seating is outdoors. They have a variety of fresh baked breads and handcrafted drinks. They also have some other trinkets for sale as well. The staff are friendly. Four stars because special offerings run out fast and parking isn't great (street only so first come, first serve). I had to circle around for a while to find something and was almost tempted to just ditch this visit to be honest. I ended up finding parking 3 blocks away.

    Get here early or order ahead!

    When I walked up, the line of folks waiting outside were the greatest predictor of what I'd find when I got in the door. No kidding, I immediately realized that this bakeshop is fantastic! Fortunately, I made my order on line prior to arriving and my goodies were ready. The aroma inside is mouthwatering. The friendly ambiance beckons customers to enter, order a drink and a pastry and relax. The organic bread selection was right up my alley. Everything looked absolutely. amazing! Folks working behind the counter were super friendly. I ordered a hueso quebrado ( just love the description) a seeded loaf, field loaf, 1 chocolate concha, a concha de cacao and a couple of whole grain spelt cookies. Bakery is located in a neighborhood with limited parking out front and lots of parking within walking distance. Sure hope to be back soon, as everything was delicious.

    Lovely choice

    My first experience. Servers are kind and prompt. The biscuit and strawberry jam. Hit the spot that this viejita needed

    Kouign-amann
    Michelle H.

    This bakery is special. Very, very special. The way this place incorporates the corn...it's like...once you have a treat here, you can't have the treat any other way. Take the kouign amann pastry, so flaky, so moist, and then you're hit with a blast of corn flavor. The alfajor cookies OMGGGGG. Again, textbook baking but with addition of corn! You need to try one of everything, seriously. Including the items in the refrigerated section. And don't forget to check out the items for sale all around the store! The employees are always chill, considering people tend to have questions or are unsure what to choose. We sat at one of the several shaded tables they have outside. The vibe is easy, like "getaway to another country where every day isn't a mad hustle" easy. I warn you though, especially those who don't live nearby, it's hard to eat these treats elsewhere once you get them here. Then you'll be all sad when you don't come back to LB for a while.

    Horchata matcha - meh
    Sanny C.

    We were doing a bread crawl. The first choice was this place. My friends arrived early. Since there was already a line, they helped me order. I asked for the nixtamal queen and a horchata matcha. My friends got a good amount of breads. I was able to try some of it as well. The nixtamal queen was pretty much a Kouign amann. I like Kouign amann, but I didn't like this one at all. I didn't have much to say until my friends told me that this bakery was a finalist for the James Beard awards. I was in shock because the bread I got was so dry and dense. I took a few bites and my mouth got tired lol I was not the only one in the group who had the issue. It was also overly sweet. I tried the other breads that my friends got. It was not fluffy or anything. Not much flavor as well. So I was pretty much in shock. I dunno if the quality went down because they had to mass produce...while there, I noticed there was always a line. So they were nonstop busy. The matcha horchata was not bad. It could be better. Matcha flavor was lacking and horchata didn't hit the spot. Glad it wasn't so sweet. I prob will return to try the breads again. Hopefully, I can up the stars.

    Jamon Roll
    Julie M.

    I had been wanting to visit this bakery for such a long time! Finally made it, and very much looking forward to going back. I went on a weekday morning, and luckily found street parking right across the street. There was a short line outside, but the wait wasn't too long. Everything was absolutely delicious! I tried the following: - Jamon Roll - Super flavorful savory roll. Flaky pastry filled with French ham, hatch-chile cheese and our pina mustard and topped with poppy seeds. - Spelt Cookie - Golden crispy and chewy whole grain cookie with Ecuadorian dark chocolate wafers and sprinkled with flake salt. - California Loaf - Our most popular loaf! Thick crust and soft open crumb with a balanced flavor that pairs with a wide variety of foods. Absolutely loved this! Also, as I was waiting in line inside the shop, there was a basket of "Day Old" breads at a discounted price. So I grabbed the California Loaf. It turned out to be very fresh and quality was great. So I'd definitely do this again. Service was efficient and very friendly. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and there are tables outdoor, right in front of the bakery. Highly recommended! Looking forward to going back and trying some of their other baked goods and get another loaf of their amazing bread.

    Gusto is very cute neighborhood spot with friendly service and baked goods to match.! I stopped in on Valentine's Day about an hour before closing and luckily was able to snag a you're the one box that had 6 different pastries in it. Don't sleep on the spelt cookie and Nixamal Queen. I also got one Israeli bread which is delightful. I was bummed they were out of their sandwiches which just means I'll need to make another trip earlier.

    Pascualina empanada and bombas de crema
    Sheila A.

    Got their Easter specials which were Bombas de crema (6 small cream puffs for $22) and pascualina empanadas which is a flaky baked empanadas with creamy greens inside ($6). They're so good! The cream puff is a little small for the price, but it's good for a "once in a while" treat. Definitely devoured them in no time.

    I have heard nothing but RAVE REVIEWS about GB, I had to get me some. The line at 8:30 on a Saturday morning was not bad. Service was terrific except the lady forgot my Nixtamal Queen pastry. I called and talked to Patty. She instantly refunded MY dough and was a pleasure to work with. I bought an assortment of goodies to take home. The bolillo's with go just fine with the Caldo de Res I'm making for dinner. The store is comfortable, has little tables to sit and enjoy a delicious pastry n coffee. The bathroom is Very nice, clean, smells good, cute. 10-12-25 NOTE: I warmed up the mushroom tart. I shrooms and am not very picky. This tart was not good at all. I'm sorry, it needed salt, IMO & had a weird taste. My husband tried it and couldn't even eat 1 bite.

    Monica S.

    From house to storefront...the bread has consistently been a hit! I love the bread options and coffee! The store itself is cozy, there is limited seating both inside and outside but every time I've gone it's pretty busy and the lines are usually pretty long but it moves fairly quickly. It's a cute and popular location.

    This place was a nice little, hole-in-the-wall cafe for a quick bite. Seating is limited. There is…read morea small bar area inside, but nobody was sitting inside, because the line to order was kind of taking up that area. There are also three tables outside that seat four, four, and two for a maximum of ten. The place fills up fast, but empties just as quick. And their baked goods go quick, so grab them while you can! I ordered the Cuban Empanada as an appetizer. The savory rice and bean filling was a perfect compliment to the sweet ripe plantain filling and hint of sweetness in the dough. They are baked and the dough is thick and chewy, so if you're not a fan of that type of Empanada, be warned... I ordered the Cuban Sandwich as the main course. It was DELICIOUS and I would recommend it to everyone! If you're a purist, like a few of my friends and family though, be warned. Their take on the Cuban is made with Ciabatta not Cuban Bread, Mozzarella not Swiss, and is toasted not pressed... I ordered a Vanilla & Dulce De Leche Cookie for Dessert. It was AMAZING! Soft chewy on the inside, a little crunch on the outside. The taste of a sugar cookie with little sugar bombs of Dulce De Leche throughout. Perfect. And I washed it all down with a Tres Leches Latte (Hot). It was DIVINE! Very much on the sweet side, which I absolutely enjoyed to the last drop. But, if you do not like it too sweet, you can ask them to lower the sweetness level. Also, they will give you an option of dairy milk (2%), almond milk, or oat milk when you order. Overall it was an excellent experience, for me. I will recommend it to all my friends, and will definitely be back!

    Not bad! But I definitely think I've had better empanadas. I'd love to come back and try their…read moresandwiches or burritos next time! It was our first time here, so we wanted to try all the flavors! We got the beef, chicken, BBQ pork, Cuban, chicken curry, veggie, and ropa vieja empanadas. I LOVE the crispy exterior of the empanadas, although interestingly, the first bites always tasted slightly salty. The fillings all had decent flavor, but none of them were outstanding or impressed me enough to want more. I will say, the green salsa they included with the order SIGNIFICANTLY improved the taste and experience of the empanadas. By itself, I'd rate the empanadas 3/5, but with the salsa, it definitely goes up to at least 4/5. But I dislike that the empanadas can't hold their own without the addition of the salsa. The shop is located in a plaza with a decent amount of parking. I think there were a few tables outside to enjoy the food, but not much seating otherwise. The girl at the counter seemed sweet and helpful and immediately greeted us when we came into the store. While the empanadas here aren't for me, it does seem like many people like them!

Came in with a small group early on a Wednesday afternoon maybe an hour before closing, and most of the tables were still filled with diners. We were seated right away in the way way back of the restaurant. The layout and decor of the place gives it a classic, borderline kitschy vibe. You can tell it's a place that's managed to hold its own for like 60 years (!!!). The server was friendly, overall service was prompt, and the portions were solid. I got the quiche of the day, which was ham and cheese, and it was amazing. It came with a side (salad was fresh and crisp) and a muffin -- their raspberry streusel muffin was so delicious and a perfect dessert to tie the meal together. I would definitely get this special again, and look forward to trying their other versions of both quiches and muffins. Others at my table got strawberry pancakes, a pastrami sandwich, and chicken fried steak. All food was devoured, so I take it that it was good.

Food was delicious and actually met the expectations of my memories. We did wait a little bit for a table, but the vibe was neighborly and it was obvious a lot of regulars were in today.
