Gjusta

THE GET DOWN


It’s all in the family I guess… the consistency of the Gjelina brand that is. Gjusta is a high- end bakery with exceptional food, pastries and breads. Its related to the Gjelina family (obvi).

They all have that G in the name that you wonder how to pronounce. Don’t worry, I do to. But I say it like a J (juu). Ok, enough of the grammar lesson.

I like to call this place Gjelina’s big brother. It’s quality without the attitude. Gjusta is expensive, but totally worth it. It’s easy to bring kids to since you pretty much have to stand everywhere in there anyway.

Again, if you have a baby, then use that Inglesina high chair you can easily screw into the bar and you are good to go. And if you have a runner, just keep ‘em strapped in the highchair and hope a muffin will peak their interest.

For those with little
runners & screamers:

Easily forgiven:

Here, you can forget the fact that it’s your rambunctious child that’s screaming and STILL enjoy most of your meal.

Not promoted, but you should take the chance:

If your toddler is at the stage when an iPad or some other colorful distraction can be used for an un-interrupted 20 minutes, then go for it.

Uh-uh, NO WAY, don’t even think about it!:

I don’t care how cute your toddler is. Pop your head in… turn around… walk away. PERIOD.

No contained area:

A place you cannot leave your toddler alone, not even for a second.

Enclosed, but space is tight:

If YOU can’t fit between the tables then you know you couldn’t catch your toddler if they tried – this isn’t Norm’s.
