    Augustino Gusto Bakery - Italian bread: hot out of the oven!

    Love this place! Has to be the best bakery in Greensboro. Just got gelato this time but what a…read moretreat. The service is always friendly. It's small and cute inside and they also offer outdoor seating. It's limited hours so make sure you check before you go. It's right around the corner from me but it's worth driving across town to try if you live on the other side!

    I don't want to sound like a sourpuss here, among all the glowing reviews, especially for a shop…read morethat is clearly independently and lovingly run. But, I do need to advise anyone who is unwaveringly accustomed to the Italian and Portuguese bakeries of New England (at least in the 1980s), and similar places, the pastries here aren't quite at that level. The pastries I tried were a little dense and shriveled, with a slight sour taste (which could've also been due to some uneven baking, erring on the overbaked side). In an apple filled item, the small amount of apples weren't quite soft and sweet enough, as well. Overall, the pastries were nearer to those of a very talented home baker than the polished work of a traditional professional pastry shop. Of course, for this specific region, this will be an enjoyable stop. With that in mind, I'm not surprised there are long lines; it must be very exciting to encounter a shop like this for the first time. There are very few other bakeries making pastries of this type, much less good ones. It's very, very hard to make excellent pastries. But, if you come from a land rich with bakeries, just set your expectations appropriately. Plus, there is the critical difference between New England and North Carolina bakeries: Would you rather have pastries that are sensational from sullen and unpredictably snappish people? ...or pastries that are decent and charming from laid-back and friendly people?

    Jeremiah's is deeeeeeelicious. So much so, that we drove 30 minutes (aka a 1 hour round trip) just…read moreto get some, on a Sunday evening. I've had the Strawberry Shortcake Jelati before, and thought it tasted JUST like the strawberry shortcake icecream bars you get from an ice cream truck or a gas station. Like it was uncanny. Today, I decided to try the Strawberry Shortcake Jelati but with cherry Italian ice instead, because that's my favorite flavor. A Cherry Shortcake, if you will. It was so good. I haven't tried all of the combinations yet, but I can definitively say at this point that the fruit flavored Italian Ice + vanilla ice cream combos really hit the spot. The ice cream is extremely smooth, rich, and creamy. Not a grain of ice to be found. Combine that with the extra sweetness and slight acidity of a fruit flavored ice? Perfection. The cookie butter crumbles (aka biscoff) really bring it home, with a slight crunch and mild butteriness that help cut a little bit of the sweetness. It's truly the perfect combo. They are also really good at layering everything, and even though the drive-through was backed up and it was almost closing time, they layered everything perfectly and didn't skimp on anything. I even had a, visible from the outside, layer of cookie butter crumbles in the middle! Top tier service. As an added bonus, the portions are generous. For under $5, I got a "small" that was plenty satiating (and I am not someone who generally fills up quickly).

    After experiencing Rita's once in my life many years ago, I've been looking for a local Italian ice…read moreplace that would satisfy my Rita's craving...and Jeremiah's not only exceeded my expectations but put them in a whole other category. I ordered the strawberry shortcake flavorite, which has strawberry and cake batter Italian ice, vanilla soft serve, and cookie butter crumbles. The sweetness of the Italian ice is balanced by the vanilla soft serve...and I'm drooling thinking about the cookie butter crumbles! My kiddo ordered the Mango Tango, which is a mix of orange and mango Italian ice, vanilla soft serve, and rainbow sprinkles; she was thrilled, and the kiddie size was perfect for her. She's already asking to go back. The servers are so friendly and helpful; they seem to really enjoy what they do. Sit outside under some umbrellas if the weather is nice, or enjoy your treats inside; they also have a drive-thru. I have a feeling we'll be enjoying Jeremiah's all spring and summer long!
