Beautiful bakery cafe in our neighborhood! The home baked breads, pastries and assortment of cafés can’t be beat. The atmosphere is beautiful, design is thoughtful and staff and service impeccable. Try the jamon pastry and café de olla and take home a loaf of their artesian sourdough for later. If you’re visiting for diner in, sit outside on their beautiful patio and enjoy your goodies and company on site. Either way, para llevar or eating there, Gusto is a great choice.

So we had heard many great things about Gusto Bread in Long Beach. For some reason or another we had not made it in to visit. But now we have and we are so happy that we did. The Cafe de Olla on ice was incredible. Absolutely loved it as it was so tasty. We coupled that with the guava pastry and that was delicious as well. All the bread in the display looked so fresh & tasty. We are definitely coming back to buy some of that bread. The parking could be a little tough as there is only street parking. Gusto is worth it . There is no wifi provided so bring your hotspot.Go and enjoy yourself

The quintessential neighborhood bakery with hot off the oven artisan loaves, creatively crafted savory and sweet pastries, and rare finds like the authentic Argentinian alfajor. Pair any of them with a cup of coffee made by the friendly staff at one of the window tables and feel your heart smile.
Arturo, the owner, has created such a gem, he has neighbors driving across town with gusto for this Gusto.

Enjoyed this place more than I thought. The foods, breads, coffee are excellent and costs less than I thought. The service is wonderful and with caring & smile. The place smells delish upon walking in and well displaced of the foods and everything else. There are seatings inside, outside and street patio. Just a cozy and relaxing place for me with great foods and drinks.

Should you move to Long Beach so that you can go to Gusto Bread literally all the time? Absolutely!
Gusto most definitely deserves all the awards they’ve been nominated for. Every single pastry and bread they make is amazing. Staff is friendly. Vibe is soothing, and they are always playing good albums on the record player. Go early as some of their items may sell out by later in the day.

I‘m German so I’m very picky with the type of bread I like (and let’s be honest, most „bread“ sold in the US is a disgrace to the original product). I came to Gusto today for the first time and purchased a great looking sourdough loaf. The employee was very knowledgeable and explained all the different type of breads they had available. It was a busy day but he took his time with us. When I cut the bread later at home, I almost teared up. This tastes so close to home and brought back a taste I haven’t experienced for the 5 years I’m living overseas. This is craftsmanship, THANK YOU – your work is highly appreciated and I’m proud to live in a neighborhood with you guys. I will become a regular.

Great customer service. Loved the bolillo, empanada and alfajores. Really all their pastries are top notch. The coffee on the other hand was lackluster and overpriced. I was excited to try the atole latte, but the maiz cream did not add any flavor. The special matcha was just alright. But would definitely go back for the baked goods. They have specials on day old bread as well.

Best Mexican bakery in California—and not just for traditional pastries. Gusto Bread is a Mexican-influenced artisan bakery, not your average panadería. It’s a fusion that feels just right: thoughtful, balanced, and full of flavor.
Let’s start with what makes it stand out: it’s not overly sweet. Unlike most American bakeries that rely on sugar bombs and artificial sweeteners, Gusto lets the real ingredients shine. My taste buds have always been sensitive to that overwhelming sugary assault, so this place? It’s a revelation.
I don’t just want sugar—I want texture, layered flavors, creative touches, visual delight, complex aroma, crunch, softness, and yes, even that little moan that comes when food is just that good. Gusto delivers.
Take the homemade chocolate cookie—dark chocolate, rich and bold, not that cloying milk chocolate nonsense. Then the oreja—flaky, buttery, and light, the perfect heart-shaped crisp I immediately wanted more of. The alfajor de nuez? It crumbles, then melts, blending nutty warmth with just the right touch of creamy dulce de leche. That’s a party.
The cacao concha is hands-down the best I’ve ever had—and I grew up in East LA, it’s practically an unofficial Mexican Town in CA. But the true standout is the Nixtamal Queen. It’s lightly sweet, intriguingly sticky, and the softness is irresistible. One bite turns into two… then three. I should’ve bought more.
Do the pastries look just as beautiful as they tasted divine? Yes, they do. Each one is a visual feast—intentional, artistic, and mouthwatering before you even take a bite.
If I had one note: skip the croissants. They’re fine, but average—and let’s be real, I didn’t come to a Mexican bakery expecting French patisserie perfection. That’s not a fault, just a boundary of the genre.
Bottom line: Come hungry. Try everything. Don’t skip the Nixtamal Queen. Gusto Bread is where tradition meets innovation, and every bite is an experience.
No wonder the New York Times puts Gusto Bread on their list of 22 of the best bakeries in America.

Hands down the best bread in LB and even all of SoCal actually … Get there early because their bread sells out fast! Not surprising The Washington Post included them on their Top 10 list of bakeries in the US … Blessing having them 5 min away
My only issue is that they’re closed Mondays and Tuesdays … Hence the 5/5 and not 6/5 stars 🙂

You are paying most for a charming service, tip them more. Without them , I don’t think I would come back again.
Hard to park, if you are driving. Wednesday 8-10am street sweeping, Friday , I’ll say for trash picked up. Bike rack (kind of) nearby. Few free parking at front on the street, couple 30 mins parking further down.
There are outdoor seating ,waiting area, water for little pals. Busy street, not sure if I would like to sit out side.
Now, pastry, you get what they have. They serve as is, not going to warming it up if you request. It was OK ,for that price I expected more. Too sweet for me not as other reviews stated.
Again, you are supporting for the lovely service.
