We stopped here today for the first time. It’s a small bakery located in a residential neighborhood, which was charming and unique. The main parking area is on down and to the right once you pull in.
When we walked up the walkway ramp, the smell of freshly baked items filled the air, most notably the savory baked items.
We arrived around 10:40am on a Wednesday and were pleased there were only a handful of people waiting in line. This gave us just enough time to look at the items and make a decision.
We got an almond croissant, a pistachio croissant, an eclair, and a loaf of regular sourdough bread. I liked that there was an option for getting a loaf of pre-sliced sourdough, which I opted not to do on this visit since those loaves looked a bit more “well done” on the tops compared to the unsliced ones. The service was good and we got our items pretty quickly.
The flavor and texture of both croissants were excellent. Definitely the best ones we’ve ever had. I do think there could have been just a little more filling in both. The pistachio one didn’t really taste much like pistachio, it just had a nice nutty-ish flavor. The almond had a perfect flavor, not too sweet or in your face with almond flavoring, which was great.
The eclair had an excellent chocolate topping. The filling was good but we felt could have used a bit more a custard like flavor (but perhaps this is more authentic the way they made it! Not sure).
The sourdough bread was amazing. We toasted it and added butter, it had the perfect sour flavor we were after.
Prices are a bit steep but for the quality, we don’t mind paying more. I wish they would make it clear if they used organic flour in their bread loaves, we saw a photo in another review that showed a sign that said “organic NC milled flour” but we didn’t see any sign today about that.
I liked that the sweet items were not overly sweet. Usually, I can only take a few bites of most sweet things but I found myself almost eating half of the eclair and half of the croissant.
We will definitely be back to try more items!

Not long ago, a friend brought a couple of loaves of bread from Augustino Gusto Bakery to a party. I was instantly in love! First time coming in to the bakery today. My love continues! It’s a tiny shop open just 3 days a week. I came on Saturday and bought a few loaves of bread (to take to a pot-luck party tonight) and a few things for lunch for my husband and I. We tried the mozzarella and tomato quiche ($15), the Spinach and cheese roll ($12?), and an apple strudel. Each was incredible. The spinach and cheese pastry had tons of the filling and was excellent at room temperature. We warmed up the quiche just a little, it was so delicious! Apple strudel was smaller but we loved it. All in total, three loaves of bread, 3 pastries, and a latte came to $79.05, including a tip. When I first came to Greensboro, I used to be so disappointed in the local bread options. Now I have a couple of options and can probably just cancel my bread subscription! (Yes, I was angry enough to order bread online lol!). The bread from this place is FANTASTIC. 10/10 highly recommend. The place also has a ton of outdoor seating on picnic tables (when the weather cooperates). I did see plenty of folks just chowing down in their cars because YES. They do have a parking lot in the back. The place has handicapped parking and a ramp… I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Augustino Gusto is the best bakery in Greensboro, bar none.
Take it from someone who has lived in San Francisco (supposedly where you can find the top bakeries in the United States) and has travelled extensively to France and Italy. Their products are top notch.
If you’re looking for the overly sweet desserts common in the south, this place is not it – their offerings are more elegant and European.
It’s an absolute hidden gem in the heart of the Triad.

LOVE this place!!! A couple we met at dinner last night told us we had to try it. We are visiting for the weekend from Baltimore. They said there would be a line but that it’s worth the wait. It is a really cold 25 degrees and very windy today but it was definitely worth the short wait outside to try this place!! We got an almond croissant and bacon wrap pastry. We also got a chocolate Cruffin for our son who attends High Point University so that has not been tried yet. My fiancee said the bacon wrap was one of the best things he’s ever eaten!! That’s a huge statement from him!! We can’t wait wait to come back next time we are in town!!

My partner and I visited Augustino Gusto for the first time, and were immediately taken by the charming atmosphere and picturesque assortment of freshly baked goods. The berry tart was sweet and fresh, and the tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had. The prices are not cheap, but neither is the quality, and is very worth it. I am anxious to visit again.

Super cute little bakery! Pastries are really good! Definitely get the honey bun, and try to go early as all of their sweets are made the morning of! Staff is always sweet and quick, even if they’re super busy! Sit outside and enjoy the scenery! ❤️

Really between 3 or 4 stars here. Everything was pleasant but in my opinion, not overly remarkable, and pricey, and a lot better options more east in the Triangle area.
I tried an almond croissant, which had a very pleasant buttery flavor, but almost no filling. The prosciutto puff pastry pocket was nice as well, with fatty prosciutto inside. The limoncello pie was fairly unremarkable, tasted like an average cream pie or cheesecake topped with jam. The pecan brownie was probably the best of the bunch – very gooey and chocolatey.
The prices were surprisingly high. $7 for a cannoli (pre-filled, rather than filled on the spot for you), $10 for the prosciutto pocket. I guess even though you’re only open 2 days a week you still need to pay the rent.
I enjoyed what I had, but I likely wouldn’t come back to try others, especially if its so difficult to do so with the two days a week availability.

This bakery is a hidden gem, one of the best I’ve been to in a very long time. It’s located in a converted house across from the Greensboro Science Center and open only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We meant to stop by a few weeks ago, but the line was out the door on a Saturday morning. Popular spot, and for good reason! We decided to show up Wednesday morning when it wasn’t as busy. Little did we know that we would have waited ten times as long had we known how great this place is.
What an amazing variety of both sweet and savory items, in addition to their large selection of breads. It was hard to choose for our first time. We seriously wanted to try everything since it looked so good!
My wife and I shared a cream cheese filled cruffin, jalapeño and cheese quiche, and a pesto prosciutto pastry. We were in heaven. Can’t emphasize enough how fresh everything tasted. We wanted more, and ended up bringing home 2 loaves of bread, a sourdough loaf and a Parisian baguette. Later that same day we ended up eating most of the bread, adults and kids included.
Don’t miss out on this one. If you have numerous bakeries in your area and think this one is too far, believe me it’s worth the drive!

OMG Most fun I have had waiting in line. I was asked to be supervision for friend from church who agreed to pickup food for Christmas day brunch. Everything was amazing. Everything is baked fresh so the aroma was intoxicating. Great choice of both sweet and savory items. Can’t recommend high enough.
