About Gusto Bread

Gusto Bread offers a unique dining experience with a menu influenced by Mexican and Hispanic cuisine. Despite long lines, the wait is worth it as the restaurant serves exceptional dishes such as Mole Empanada, Pan de Maiz, and Salted Tamarindo drink, all reasonably priced and well-made. The ambiance is inviting, with a stereo and turntable adding to the cozy atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and helpful, making it a must-visit for bread enthusiasts seeking a truly fantastic sourdough loaf. This place also feels like a home away from home, with a friendly gentleman at the counter helping customers choose from the selection. The passion for quality ingredients is evident, and the flavors are thoughtful, balanced, and full of flavor. Visitors are encouraged to come hungry and try everything, especially the Nixtamal Queen, which is lightly sweet, sticky, and irresistibly soft. The pastries are beautiful and artistic, offering a visual feast before tasting. The bakery also shines with treats like the dark chocolate cookie and oreja, which are flaky, buttery, and rich. Although the croissants are average, they do not detract from the overall excellence. For a perfect pairing, the Cortado and Pastelito De Guava are highly recommended. After traveling to Europe, many find that Gusto Bread’s quality and passion for good bread make it worth the slightly higher price than grocery store bread, offering a taste that feels just right and reminiscent of home.
