Part of what you’re paying for is the ability to post your Gjusta breakfast on social media.

They automatically include tip in their bill too. I was so annoyed because i wasn’t aware of it tipping them extra

I went there yesterday! I just had the croissant to go. No tip option on the screen.

ONLY $14? They must have lowered their prices! 😂

I was underwhelmed by this place. I’m not one of those people bitching about a known expensive place being expensive. I just didn’t think the food was good enough to go back.

$5 for an Americano? It’s literally just espresso and hot water. I’ve had lattes that cost less than that. Is all their water imported from the Alps or some shit?

Every country I have traveled to in the last 2 years has their food less expensive than in the US, including Japan. They do this here because the people won’t do anything about it, not a peep on the streets

Well, I’m sticking to my Aeropress and frozen croissants from TJs.

I mean that’s the thing. There’s definitely a fair argument to be made about price but unlike a majority of comparably priced restaurants, Gjelina/Gjusta actually do deliver the goods.

Anything from their bakery is 🤌🏾.

Couldn’t make it through the 20 minute line of douchebags last time I stopped there. Not worth the hassle.

Croissants are hard to make and that’s like twice the size of what it should be. I think thats a fair price for that, at least

That an expensive croissant… I’ve had them in fancy places in Paris that didn’t cost that much.

How was the croissant?

At least you got some fancy tap water on the side – prob a hidden fee

It’s high, but not *that* high compared to the coffee scene in general. LA has a little additional cost but the good coffee shops and bakeries in most major cities in the US (especially with inflation, excuse or not) will charge something comparable. I travel for work and like to hunt the best coffee shops, and in “cheaper” cities like Phoenix and Kansas City a coffee is gonna run you $4.50-$5.50.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot to pay for coffee, just that cafes everywhere have caught on to how much they can get away with. And the thing is, in many of those places the coffee isn’t nearly as good as what you’ll get in the best spots in LA.
Europe is, of course and as usual, another story entirely, but that’s just a result of the wonderful way the US has gunked up food sourcing, supply lines, property costs, etc. You’ll get the best coffee you’ve ever had for a couple euros at a random cafe on a street corner over there.

Fuuuuccckkkkk that place. To go baguette? 15% tip. Don’t talk to anyone and grab something out of the fridge. 15% tip. Just raise the freaking prices
