I love the space. The back yard seating area is relaxed and I could have stayed there all day. The egg dish I selected was fine...nothing amazing but the bread is delicious.

Overpriced food already and there is a mandatory 20% tip for making you wait an hour in line, order at the counter and bus your own tables. Shady business practice to do this and hide their own high prices. No modifications allowed on their room temperature sandwiches.

Paid over $30 for a forgettable breakfast for one person:

$20 - Average breakfast burrito. Upmarket price was not justified in terms of size, quality, or flavor.
$4.50 - Plain drip coffee
$4.9 - 20% Mandatory surprise auto gratuity
Plus tax

My burrito was brought out in a timely manner but my coffee came 20 minutes later after checking with staff multiple times. So much for the premium gratuity for a counter order cafe.

The place did have a charming industrial vibe to it with a nice patio.

I lived in Venice before the pandemic, and remember Gjusta having the most incredible cold brew and pastries. 5+ years later, only the cold brew holds up. The pastries are fine, but they lack the crispy flakiness that separates a great pastry from a good one. The flies have also become a big problem out back. Still love Gjusta, but some of the shine has definitely worn off. Where can a man get a great pastry in LA??

Wonderful bakery and upscale deli. 2 pastries and espresso over ice were perfect.

This place was one of the greats. Sadly the cost of food rose and the quality lowered.

The sandwiches I’ve had basically can’t keep the ingredients in and for the price, you think they’d get that part right.

A meatball sub - great meatballs but stingy on the space - turned into a small meatball cannon that lost me what I think was $8 worth of meatball in a $20 sandwich. They could’ve carved a little area in the bread to help hold it in, but damn thing just flew out.

Same issue with the Italian. High price but not amazing, and poorly built. The main part of the sandwich kept being squeezed out and eventually turned into a mess where I was picking the squeezed out ingredients from the sandwich wrapping.

A damn shame as the service there is mostly great and the baked goods are excellent. If you raise the prices (since last I was there) justify it with excellence as well.

Sadly, this went from a 5/5 to a 3.5/5 for me.

They offer a bunch of “freshly” made breakfast options but do not allowing modifications to remove things (even if allergies).. $20 for premade and reheated sandwiches is wild

Was equally blown away by the space, the energy, the banh mi, and the cortado all at the same time. Would happily come back!
