    Gusto bread has beautiful latte art, perfectly balanced drinks and breads. Deserves 5 stars.

    Always a pleasure to come to Gusto in Long Beach, even when traffic along 710 is a frown-commute. Best about this return was to try their dark chili sauce on a slice of sourdough --- so so good! Had both sweet and savory options with a mocha. Service has been consistently friendly and helpful, and the interior like the exterior is accommodating to both a large or small party.

    I got my sourdough fix here! I stumbled upon this place by searching up bakeries in Long Beach. I got their sourdough bread (masa madre) and you can tell it was made with love and care. Their walnut cookies are absolutely delicious (so much so that I had to go back in and buy a package of 5). The place is very welcoming and the atmosphere is great. Definitely coming back.

    Their coffee is good but their breads are so delicious they have so much to choose from

    10/10. My wife was talking this place up and I was already coming into breakfast with high expectations and they were exceeded. Very small and quaint shop with a very friendly staff. We went early to make sure they weren't sold out of anything we wanted. We got a good variety and ended up eating the entire box outside before leaving. Top pics would be Doña, Nixtamal Queen, Alfajor de Neuz, and the Brie and Ham Sandwich. My wife got the matcha which was fantastic and I got the Atole latte which was perfectly creamy and not overly sweet. We even got some the morning we left town to make sure we had some to eat back home. Can't wait to be back

    An Old record player plays Mack the Knife near the counter. And endless line seemingly remains outside. The small shop and its two or three tables offer a few places to cave into the cravings. Okay, enough is enough, who am I kidding..let me just cut to the chase. The BOLILLO! Just order it okay? You will thank me later. There is spicy Jalapeno bread and there is this, which is Sourdough, Jalapeno and salt done in the perfect combination. Your taste buds will thank you but there is no need to thank me (after all, I didn't create it). Most of the items on the menu I can't pronounce but you can't really go wrong with any of them. When its your turn its your turn and any of the associates will patiently walk you through the menu and point out their favorites and ingrediants in each if you want The coffee and Matcha are on point here too, with some creative recipes. The Horchata Matcha is one. This is a popular one. Come early for best selection!

    Sourdough concha and bollio and chocolate pan

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Bakery Review - solid pastries and coffee, but one pastry I had previously and recalled being a stand out, was not great the next time I got it, so what seems like it should be consistently good is perhaps not. Restaurant Review - very fussy table policy...there were at least 6 tables open and they wouldn't seat 2 out of 3 of our party until all of us were there. I get it if you're busy/have a waitlist, but to make us stand there while the table we eventually had sat empty the entire time we waited was a little annoying. Then, at the end of our meal, they told us our time at the table had expired. Really? In terms of the food, it was fine, nothing to write home about. It was more the service that was so off putting. The coffee was cold when served. At the end of the meal our server asked if we wanted desert, and when we asked for a desert menu he just said "Oh, you need to just go inside and look." It could have been worded more appropriately to say something like "We have great pastries and treats inside if you have room for desert" rather than "Would you like desert?", which leads to a dead end since he didn't offer any. And after reading other reviews, I wonder if we would have been allowed to eat those pastries at the table anyway? I'm in the area frequently, but will try other places going forward after these last couple of disappointing visits.

Word of warning is that it is anchovy heavy (including anchovy filets on top), so if you like to pretend the anchovy aspect of Caesar salads doesn't exist, this might not be for you! Roasted chicken: Loved the crunch on this too, and the salad and polenta were nice additions. I think the polenta was my favorite part of this dish lol. Kale pistou pizza (asked for no onions): My least favorite dish. We didn't realize it was vegan but as someone who generally likes vegan food, it just lacked flavor and felt very dry overall. The sourdough crust was good, at least. Peach mess dessert: Omg, the star of the show! Such an amazing dessert top to bottom, I loved the mix of textures and flavors. I could eat this every day! I probably would've given this 4 stars due to the pizza being that bland, but the dessert really elevated this whole meal. Can't wait to see all their different menus throughout the seasons!

She recommended warming before eating. What a nice little treat to share with my husband after dinner! Back to the cafe. Newly added as an adjoining space was vacated next to the bakery. Industrial modern interior. Spacious with 20(?) tables. Partners opted for the 2 egg breakfast. Eggs cooked perfectly as ordered. One ordered an omelet. Beautifully made. Would make Jacques Pepin or Thomas Keller proud. Thick sliced bacon. Thick sliced multigrain toast. Small side of spring mix salad adorned with watermelon radish. Very nice entree if you're an egg lover. Shared the French fries. They're like the ones my grandma made. Thick sliced potatoes deep fried. Crispy outside. Soft inside. Brings back pleasant memories. Get these if you're a French fry fan. The mushroom dip (think French dip with variety of sautéed mushroom in lieu of beef) was GREAT! Mushroom not overcooked, Muenster cheese draped atop. Crusty baguette bread. Although the dipping sauce was vegan based, the roasted mushroom base added enough umami for a deeply flavored dip. My only complaint was the clusters of oyster mushrooms were laid horizontally following the length of baguette. Which presents well but was a bit challenging to bite through. I dunno, maybe my teeth aren't sharp. Overall an outstanding dish. So my dilemma now is when to return to try the other menu items which didn't make my first cut. Parking is....well ya know...it's 2nd St. So the driver needs to be a good parallel parker. Cute shoes optional but be prepared to walk.

    Such a beautiful morning breakfast date with my husband!…read more The service was friendly and welcoming, and the dining room has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. There wasn't a line when we arrived, so we were seated right away, and our food came straight from the kitchen fast and fresh. My latte was honestly one of the best I've had! The salsa tasted fresh with just the right amount of kick, and the muffins are always amazing, definitely a favorite. Great food, wonderful service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

It was okay--nothing particularly bad about it, but also nothing memorable that would make me want to order it again. For the price and the reputation of this place, I expected more. We also ordered the chili cheese fries, and unfortunately the fries were soggy. With chili cheese fries, I still want the fries to have some texture and hold up underneath the toppings, but these didn't. I also tried the strawberry lush pie, and unfortunately I felt pretty much the same way. It was fine, but nothing that really wowed me. I understand why Bake n Broil has such a loyal following. It has that nostalgic, old-school diner feel and has been a Long Beach staple for years. I just think the prices are high compared with the overall quality of the food. For me, breakfast is still the way to go here. I've enjoyed their breakfast more than the lunch/dinner options I've tried. If I come back, that's what I'll stick with. Overall, it's a classic Long Beach spot, but based on this visit, I found the food mediocre and overpriced for what you get.
