Gjusta

Brought to you by the same folks behind Gjelina, you might miss this upscale brunch spot if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Operating out of a nondescript warehouse near Gold’s Gym, this high-end deli and bakery usually has a small crowd waiting outside. Step inside and you’ll find a long, narrow corridor with glass cases of sweet and savory treats on the left, and a working bakery behind it. On the sweet side, slices of fruit are folded into sugar-glazed dough for a morning indulgence; a banana chocolate tart, while pricey, is worth a post-lunch splurge. On the savory side, sandwiches and salads make for an ideal lunch spot, with cuts of meat and fish, whether served to-go or in Gjusta’s limited indoor seating or quaint, plant-filled patio area. Note: There's also a mandatory 20% service charge for dining in, as well as 15% for takeout orders, though you don't need to tip on top of that.
