This is the best place in the area to enjoy a high-quality breakfast. The ingredients are extremely fresh and flavorful, including the freshly squeezed fruit juices. While the space has a more warehouse-style bakery feel, the staff are very friendly, responsive, and welcoming, and the presentation is excellent.
The variety of breakfast options is impressive—especially the smoked salmon, which is outstanding. Over the past few years, we’ve had many great experiences here, often bringing friends and family to enjoy breakfast together.

The manager refused to make a substitute to accommodate my allergy, so I left. Very disappointing and frustrating experience.

Good shukshuka and hot chocolate. Loved the atmosphere. Peperoni pizza to die for

Awful experience. I would only go again for pickup, dining in is beyond uncomfortable. Complete lack of hospitality.

Shakshuka is the best!! I don’t like the mocha latte that much. Too creamy and you don’t feel you get refreshed. Juice may be a better choice. The vibe is awesome! Both indoor and outdoor seats are available.

It’s more than a meal, it’s an experience.
From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by incredible aromas and a beautiful display of products. Sitting at the bar is a treat on its own, watching the seamless harmony behind the counter.
The staff are true professionals, friendly, efficient, attentive to details, and clearly passionate about what they do.
Even though it’s a busy venue, the wait feels effortless, especially while enjoying the view and taking your time with the menu.
We ended up ordering twice, after the first one we were still craving items from the menu, because everything sounded too good to miss.
Definitely a place worth visiting

Food was on point—solid croissants/pastries
and coffee. Service could be improved (people waiting in line while staff chatted, forgot part of order). Space was very nice, typical post-industrial LA vibe. Lots of hype around this place. Very solid, but not quite superlative.

A wonderful bakery, in house smoked fish, a lovely friendly experience.
Not sampled but looking lovely are the coffees and meals.

I stopped by Gjusta for breakfast and was absolutely blown away. I ordered the Brisket Hash, and it was stunning—the brisket was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Easily one of the best breakfast dishes I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend.
I also tried the French toast, which was massive and indulgent in the best way. Crispy on the outside, soft and gooey in the center, and paired beautifully with a rich blueberry sauce. A total treat.
The ordering process is a bit unique: the express lane is designed for quick orders and takeout. You pull a number near the register, and they’ll call you up when it’s your turn to order. My brisket hash came out about five minutes before the French toast, which was perfect timing. Seating inside is limited, but there’s a beautiful patio that’s worth grabbing a spot on if the weather’s nice.

If you're in Venice go here! just not when I'm trying to get a spot in line or a Table. The staff is super nice but you gotta know the rules.
Express line for bread, pastries and drinks
Grab a number for other food.
Only get a table after you order.

Environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The line was long and the place was very busy, so we had to wait a bit for a table to be cleaned. Most of the seating is outdoors, which makes it a great spot to enjoy the sunshine. Nice for a relaxed hangout with friends.
Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food was fresh — the salmon roe bagel stood out. The rest of the dishes were fairly standard but done well.
Overall
A good spot for casual chatting and sunshine.

Came here on Christmas Day, couldn’t even believe they were open, the quality of food was astounding and despite the huge crowd, came out in good time - didn’t have to wait too long. I’ve been coming here weekly for a year and every time I enjoy the experience. There really isn’t anything like it in terms of food quality. Will keep coming back again and again.
