Bread Head

Finally got around to trying Bread Head. I see what the hype is about. The bread is really good the focaccia isn’t too thick and it has a nice fluffiness to it. All the sandwhich options are great too and they service is quick and great. They have a nice outside areas to eat and they also have some good sauces to go with sandwiches as well. Def worth a try if you’re in the area.

Great sandwich shop! Lots of delicious options and they have daily specials during the week. My personal favorite is the turkey pesto sandwich. The club sauce is delicious and definitely a must try! High recommend:)

Best sandwich north of Wilshire! Believe me, the LA Times, or The NY Times, Bread Head is bringing its A-game to the west side. Clever creations on your favorite classic sandwich’s, made between their signature fluffy yet crunchy focaccia bread. The portions are huge, the half was more than enough for one person. We were so tempted by their mozzarella sandwich, so we ordered one to go and shared their turkey and Italian in the shop on a sunny day. What a delight! Sandwiches were made quickly so this is also a great grab and go option. We will be definitely be making a stop in before our next beach day. The house made lemonade and ice tea was refreshing, and the staff were really sweet. Glad to have to this option on the west side!

Ordered the whole Combo Grinder & Muffaletta to go. Huuuge portions, had each half halved (so cut into quarters) & each half wrapped separately. Pricey, but the size of their whole sandwiches are definitely two portions worth, & the bread was very good. Initially wasn’t sure about the thinness of the bread, but it held up well to the sauces & moisture of the Grinder & also made it easy to get a full bite of everything in one bite. We had not seen a muffaletta on any sandwich shop’s menu outside of the south, so that was cool to see. Wish we tried the Arnold Palmer, would have been a perfect combo. We went on a Tuesday evening around 5:15pm & there was plenty of parking in the lot behind the storefront & the place was empty.

Finally, another great deli option on the west side. The staff were super friendly, and the sandwich options were unique and exciting. Their house baked bread was well structured and complimented the candies ingredients well. Take their advice and use the hot sauce too, its excellent.

I’d seen BreadHead floating around on Instagram a while back and did my usual thing, bookmark it, forget about it, and figure I’ll eventually get there someday. I’m not usually in this part of Santa Monica, but I had a doctor’s appointment nearby, saw it was right around the corner, and decided today was the day. Glad I finally did. The spot itself is a little corner shop tucked in a nice neighborhood. Parking in the back is free and easy (a rare luxury in Santa Monica). Inside, it’s clean, bright, with a simple counter setup, you order up front, grab a seat, and they bring the food to you. No tipping pressure, just good service. It was crowded, but the line moved fast. The gal who helped me out, Zyla, was super friendly and recommended the Turkey Pesto for a first-timer. I almost went Roast Beef but trusted her advice, and it paid off. While I was waiting for my order, something unexpected happened. One of the guys working in the back walked out with a sandwich and an iced tea in his hands, looking around like he was trying to match an order. Then he looked at me and just asked, “Do you want a free iced tea?” I told him I hadn’t ordered one, but he insisted, “Yeah, it’s free,” and set it down. I don’t know if it was an extra or a mistake, but either way it was a kind, simple gesture. It’s those little moments that stick with you. The sandwich itself was excellent. Not massive, but hearty enough. If you just get the sandwich, the full size is perfect for one meal, fills you up without overdoing it. Add chips or a side and you could easily split half now, half later. The focaccia bread they’re known for is terrific, chewy, flavorful, and holds up to everything inside. The turkey and pesto worked perfectly together, and the arugula gave it a fresh, peppery bite. Nothing dry, nothing bland, just a well-balanced sandwich. Price-wise, it’s Santa Monica, so nothing’s cheap, but it didn’t feel inflated either. Honestly, the price was fair, maybe even a little under what you’d expect for this zip code. In Beverly Hills, the same sandwich would cost more and probably be smaller. Now, about the hot sauce. They’ve got Zapp’s hot sauce bottles sitting right out at the counter for anyone dining in to use openly. I ended up pouring half a bottle on my sandwich because it was that good. When I asked if they sold it, they said yes, so of course I bought one. Funny enough, if you look it up online, it’s actually cheaper to buy directly from them than to order elsewhere. Easy decision. Overall, BreadHead nails it. Easy parking, great service, staff that’s genuinely kind, excellent bread, and a sandwich that’s worth the hype. If you’re in Santa Monica and want something hearty but still fresh and balanced, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the neighborhood.

Good for a lunch Sandwich. The vegetarian sandwich is great. Turkey was pretty good. The combo meat sandwich also good

I cannot say enough great things about this business. One, their sandwiches are consistently awesome, the high quality ingredients are clearly evident. Two, their staff is super friendly. Their indoor space is well designed, clean & makes you wanna stay. Lastly huge shoutout to ownership for constructing a curbside seating area that is gorgeous, clearly expensive & a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. Including the thoughtful planter. For too long, eateries in Santa Monica throw up cheap, barely minimal, dirty looking seating areas at the curb many with those ugly traffic barricades. I’m thinking of one local artisan, premium coffee shop on the same street whose ownership put out one of those ugly spots while charging $6 for coffee & spending their profits on opening other locations. Fortunately LaLaLand coffee cafe moved in, did a beautiful outdoor seating & stole their customers. So thank you Bread Head owners, great job all around. You clearly do everything right in every area of your business!

I had a turkey pesto sandwich. I loved everything about it - delicious, chewy bread. Price was reasonable. Indoor and outdoor seating but limited space. Well worth a visit!

Great sandwiches on amazing bread. Fast service, good vibes - super casual. BUT...this is the second time in a row I've been here and had to navigate multiple customers wrangling non-working dogs that they brought in with them...and again the dogs were barking and being yanked around by their leashes as they lunged around. What's the story? Are dogs allowed in here? The sign outside says otherwise. Annoying.

Pro - Great Focaccia Inside seating Con - Quality of preparation Quality of meat Too much romaine lettuce compared to meat ratio Too much mayonnaise The price was exorbitant for a sandwich Turkey/cheddar cheese/romaine lettuce on focaccia with Mayo $27.00! Street meter parking

I'm a fan of Bread Head! Generally, it's a bustling restaurant when I visit, and I've taken to ordering online for my recent meals and then eating on site once the sandwiches are ready. I've found the timing of my online orders to be accurate, and it has helped me avoid dealing with long lines. The shop has a small interior though so far I have not had trouble finding a seat during lunch. I've tried their BLT, which I thought was good though the lettuce quantity seemed excessive compared to the other ingredients. Their Calabrian turkey sandwich has a bit of a kick from the spiced mayo, and the combination of the sliced turkey breast, lettuce, and cheddar cheese is excellent. I've found a half sandwich to be sufficient for a full meal, and their Arnold Palmer was also refreshing.

My partner and I decided to order in person despite the long line as it was moving pretty quickly and the orders didn't taken long to come out either. The Combo Grinder was good, but it was heavy from the sauces. My partner's BLT, however, was delicious and tasted lighter despite the load of bacon (their iceberg is crispy and adds so much freshness). The bread in the sandwich overall is good, but the crust is bit too hard in a sandwich for my preference.

My cousin recommended this sandwich place to us in Santa Monica and it was amazing. I loved the bread soo much. It had the perfect crunch. I did drive to the beach and then eat it, which gave it time for the juices to make the bread a bit soggy, but I'm sure fresh, it would hit the spot even harder. The shop, itself, was cute and had pictures everywhere which gave it an at home vibe. They had pickle beer and cherry soda I want to try next time for sure. This sandwich reminded me of the movie ratatouille when remy bites the strawberry and cheese at the same time and goes into a trance of flavors. Everything came together perfectly and their hot sauce was to die for. I can't wait to try this sandwich place again. The staff was welcoming and friendly. My family also got the BLT and Calabrian turkey which were both super flavorful too!

Food, phenomenal! Portions are huge even the "half" portions are cut in half. They tasted great, loaded with ingredients! So many options to choose from and their special club sauce wis pretty good! They also have daily specials, so look out for those! Service was great. Ambiance was coastal vibes, very bright and relaxing. Bonus, the bathroom is also really cute and decorated well, not to mention clean !! Mozzarella sand-which 5/5

Bread Head in Santa Monica makes a really solid sandwich. The bread stands out the most. It's crispy, fresh, and clearly the focus. I added mortadella to the mozzarella sandwich and really liked the combo. The portions are generous too. I only got a half, but it was still big and packed with ingredients, I hardest time trying to take a full bite The Combo Grinder is probably my favorite so far. The sandwiches came out pretty quickly, and there's free parking in the back, plus metered spots out front. Definitely planning to come back and take one to the beach next time.

10 out of 10!!! Staff is friendly and cool with fast service! I love sandwiches and usually don't get impressed but man even before I took my first bite I knew it was going to be good! But really these sandwiches are next level, I live in OC and would gladly drive back for any these! Sandwiches: Mozzarella - Simple ingredients but amazing flavor, the za'atar spread brings it harmoniously together Combo Grinder- my favorite of the three we tried , filled with all the good meats- salami, ham, hot coppa (dry cured pork shoulder) with some pepperoncini, iceberg, red onion, roasted peppers... this right here is a damn good sandwich !!! Turkey Pesto - this was also really good, roasted turkey, cheddar cheese, avocado, arugula, smeared in a basil pesto and garlic mayo- fiyahhhh

Really really delicious quality ingredients. The portions were gigantic and I ordered 12 sandwiches. They jam-pack the sandwiches with fresh ingredients, and their fresh in house bread is ridiculously good. No notes. Chef's kiss.

The Muffaletta was UNREAL! One of the most unique sandwiches with high quality deli meat and the crunchiest but softest bread I've ever had. The bread was a perfect thickness as well. I'm generally not a sandwich person but I'm in love with this place! Also had the Tuna salad sandwich which was super fresh and crispy and wasn't heavy AT ALL which I very much appreciated. Perfect proportions and a refreshing crisp to the lettuce. Staff was friendly and the line though intimidatingly busy moves very fast. Plenty of seating inside but if you find yourself there at peak the neighborhood is a nice walk and clean.

Sandwich spot located on Montana in the Santa Monica area. Their sandwiches are served on a focaccia and they focus on local suppliers/ingredients. I also saw that the founders of this place met while working at Trois Mec... I wonder if they were there when I went about 8 yrs ago. The vibe was relaxed, but the place seems like it would always be busy. Part of the reason for this is that the space isn't super large. The menu here is streamlined and at first glance, the sandwiches aren't cheap. Although I would say I'm a pretty large person and a half sandwich was plenty. I ordered the muffaletta. My visit was in late March, so I was trying to keep "laissez les bons temps rouler", haha. My grammar there probably is horrible, but hopefully you get the idea. Also, I haven't had a great muffaletta since going to a place called Cochon Butcher in NOLA. I thought the sandwich was great - from the bread to the fillings - the flavors and textures were all on point. I even used a few drops of the available hot sauce to give my bites an extra kick. There was also an off menu special tart/pie available made with Mexican lemons. I got a slice and it was very delightful. Like a light key lime pie. Big fan of this sandwich shop. Parking could be a little tough in the area, but if you're patient, you could get some street metered parking or if you don' t mind walking, you may find a spot in the surrounding neighborhoods. Just mind the parking signs.

Bread Head has quickly climbed the ranks to become one of our absolute favorite sandwich spots in town. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the bread- as it should be with the name. It's perfectly baked with a golden, crunchy crust on the outside and a pillowy soft interior that holds up beautifully to the generous fillings without ever feeling heavy. Portions here are massive. A half sandwich is easily the size of a regular whole sandwich anywhere else, and a full sandwich comes as four hearty slices -- perfect for sharing. We've been several times and worked our way through a good portion of the menu, but our personal standouts are the Calabrian Turkey, Roast Beef, and Turkey Pesto. Each one is fresh, flavorful, and layered with just the right balance of ingredients so that nothing overpowers the bread. The only downside is the weekend crowd. This place draws serious sandwich lovers, and seating is extremely limited. You'll often find yourself eating with a line of people hovering nearby, waiting for their turn. The good news? They're currently building a patio, which should make the experience much more comfortable. While it's not the cheapest sandwich shop around, the quality and size of the portions more than justify the price. If you're anywhere near Santa Monica, Bread Head is absolutely worth a stop -- and with new locations in the works, it's only going to get easier to get your fix.

I was in the area and was craving some lunch so decided to pop in and order a sandwich to go. There was quite a line to order but it moved along, and probably about a 10-15 min wait until my order was ready. I ordered a half order of the Combo Grinder without cheese. I also got some hot sauce to go with it, as I saw some recs that it's better with it. It was probably about 10 minutes until I was able to eat the sandwich. It was decent, I liked all the meat and veggies inside, but it was pretty soggy which was disappointing. I imagine it's better if you eat it fresh, so I'd recommend eating it right when it's ready. I also wasn't that impressed by the bread; I was excited by the concept of focaccia for sandwich bread, but it wasn't that great. Pretty thin and crunchy rather than warm, salty, soft and a little crispy focaccia. A lot of the sandwich kept spilling out as I ate it, so it's definitely messy. Make sure you have napkins! And the hot sauce does make it a bit better. Half order is definitely the way to go, it was plenty for me to have by myself.

Definitely a fan of their sandwiches but not a fan of their pricing. There is more lettuce than there is turkey. The foccacia bread delicious but to charge for tomato and onion on a sandwich is ridiculous it should be standard especially for a turkey sandwich. I mean .50 cents to add mustard, are you serious? I've been here twice and the staff is great, I love their variety of sandwiches and baked goods but it's the price that drives me crazy. Just for myself for a half sandwich because I added a few extra items it ended up being $21. Wtf!!!! I like this place but they need to do better with their prices, it is definitely over hyped.

Excited to try theses sandwiches that have been rated among the top in the city! The line moves relatively quickly and the staff is super friendly and efficient. If you don't want to wait, you can order online and pickup. For 2 of us going to the beach, I ordered 4 "half" sandwiches. When I opened them up, I realized that a half is really more like a whole to me so we had way more than we needed. But fun to try anyway. calabrian turkey - good, fresh ingredients but not a wow; would pass on this one next time combo grinder - YUM, lots of delicious italian meats and cheese with generous portion of roasted pepper; probably the FAVE muffuletta - a little similar to the combo with italian meats and cheeses; olive spread mozzarella - with avocado and sprouts; so much better than it sounds and one of our faves The bread was thin focaccia style and was crispy in parts. Really good vehicle for a sandwich, though a little messy for the beach! Overall we really enjoyed the sandos at Bread Head and would try more if we were in the area.

If I'm going to pay $30 for a sandwich it should blow my mind... Unfortunately, that was not my experience at bread head. The "Combo Grinder" lacked salt and acid for me and was overall underwhelming. The portions are generous but does not justify the cost...

i preferred the turkey sandwich of the two i tried, i felt that the olives in the muffaletta were very overpowering. the highlight was definitely the bread and i liked the calabrian mayo, although there was way too much of it. there's parking in the back and indoor/outdoor seating

Best sandwich ever. Surprisingly the Mozzarella was my favorite ! And it didn't even have meat. The alfalfa sprouts, mozzarella and avocado were perfection. Turkey pesto and combo grinder were also phenomenal. Can't go wrong!

I heard this place was good just from reading some online reviews for good sandwich soots in LA but then I disolver were considered one of the best in LA. I had to try it. I ordered their turkey and cheddar and my mom ordered the vegetarian mozzarella sandwich. My sandwich was good. I could tell the bread was fresh baked and had a bunch of flavor. The vegetarian was the star for me. The fresh mozzarella paired with all the fresh veggies were amazing. I understand why The NY Times did an article on it. Definitely stop by and try this place, they're doing it right!

This sandwich isn't a big deal. And considering how many people rave about the bread - have you people never had a good focaccia? Focaccia comes in different varieties but this one just isn't it. I ordered the whole Muffuletta for $25. It's filled with Fra'mani Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Pit Smoked Ham, Provolone, Swiss, Castlevetrano Olive Salad, Garlic Mayo Overall, it's not too bad of a price but still pricey. You get a good amount of meat, cheese, and for this sandwich, olive salad. The olive salad and garlic mayo are the highlights. But there's nothing really special about the meats and cheeses because they're served so cold that you feel like you just bite into a block of playdoh. The bread is almost stale, it's dry and just isn't very appealing to the textural components that focaccia is known for.

Walked in to this small shop off Montana - very small with little seating, I would plan to take your sandwich to go. It was a Sunday afternoon, but it was pretty crowded. The half sandwich is a good size, as I only needed half of the half for my lunch. I got the grinder and it was full of flavor in every bite. The bread was very crunchy, fresh meats and delicious sauces. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other options on the menu.

I have been a fairly regular customer at Bread Head over the past few months and usually enjoy their sandwiches, but unfortunately my experience today was very disappointing. I ordered a tuna and a turkey sandwich on August 30, 2025. Within just 10 minutes of picking them up, the sandwiches had become extremely soggy and were nearly inedible. On top of that, they were overwhelmingly salty to the point where it seemed like a mistake had been made in their preparation. Considering the price point, over $50 for two sandwiches, I expect a much higher level of quality control. Normally, Bread Head has been one of my favorite options in the Santa Monica and Brentwood area, but today's sandwiches felt rushed and poorly made, almost as if the person preparing them was inexperienced or careless. This is not the level of consistency one should expect from a place charging nearly $30 per sandwich. It is very unfortunate because I've genuinely enjoyed Bread Head in the past, but after today this may have been my last visit. I hope management reviews this feedback seriously and ensures better oversight of preparation moving forward. I would be happy to speak with management directly about this experience, as I think it's important for longtime customers to voice concerns when standards are not being met.

Bread Head!! I've been meaning to try you and it was quite delicious. I got the 1/2 turkey pesto and my dad got the 1/2 Calabrian turkey. The "1/2" sandwich is a FULL sandwich so don't be fooled! We very much enjoyed both sandwiches - the bread is crispy, ingredients are fresh and definitely have some unique sandwiches with different flavor profiles. I kind of wish they had a few more options like just a prosciutto or salami sandwich but still thought it was an overall great experience. The price is definitely on the higher scale and think it should be no more than $13 since they are many of great gourmet sandwiches in the area that range less than that. Otherwise I would definitely recommend!

Bruh, the whole is two sandwiches. The whole order *FEELS* pricey but it's actually an insane deal because you get two sandwiches. It's insane. Loved the ciabatta bread and the ingredients were extremely fresh. They also have daily in house brewed unsweetened ice tea that my mom thought was decent. Would highly recommend for any sandwich lover! I got the mozzarella which was delicious with the alfalfa greens. Mom got the roast beef which had a nice fresh horseradish spread. Absolutely delicious!

Delicious sandwiches! The turkey pesto was so flavorful and the bread was perfectly soft and crisp. You also get a very hearty serving in a half portion. Service was solid! The food came out very quickly and everyone on the staff was friendly. The ambiance inside is clean with plenty of tables to eat at. I ordered to go, so didn't spend much time inside.

After reading the rave review in the NYT 's recently about this establishment, I had to visit coming in to LA For Christmas from Brooklyn NY. It's a small place with not much seating so be prepared to hover and grab a stool or table if you can. The line was somewhat long but moved fast. I ordered the Turkey Pesto 1/2 Sandwich and a large lemonade. The 1/2 sandwich is plenty of food and cost me $18 - lemonade was $5 and very good. Unfortunately the focaccia was somewhat stale and hard to bite in to and the turkey was good but dry. I love avocado but it was over powering and just got too messy. I do love the side of zapa hot sauce that was different. Next time I'll get the Chicken salad or roast beef and probably go during a quiet weekday to see if the bread is fresher and out of oven baked well! Until next time ( or not )

Right when we walked in we were welcomed by the amazing staff. I ordered the BLT half order sandwich. It was really good! You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, everything tasted fresh. This was my first time here, and I'm glad I got the half order because this filled me up perfectly. Very chill vibe here almost like a coffee shop vibe but with sandwiches I would come here again!

Holy mama, this sandwich spot is my new favorite in Santa Monica. I know everyone raves about bay cities, but I have always found their bread so hard to bite through and all the toppings just get smushed or push aside. BLT is a MUST try! The lettuce was super refreshing and adding a whole different experience for me in a BLT! It was absolutely delicious! Ham and butter is a classic, I definitely would enjoy this if I had a glass a wine and a book. Can't wait to go back and try their other sandwiches!

Great sandwiches. Fresh, flavorful ingredients. Quick and friendly service. Plenty of seating for a quick bit on the go. Thank you!

The bread is everything!!! So crispy and perfect in every way! I think it's more of a schiaciatta than a focaccia as the latter is usually thicker which I do not like for a sandwich so this bread is perf. If they sold it on its own I would buy and eat so much bread on its own! I came in on a weekend afternoon. Good amount of people in the place. Good amount of seating on the inside. I got my order pretty quickly. There's a small parking lot in the back. I ordered the Calabrian Turkey and the Italian combo. The Calabrian Turkey was phenomenal!! Just has a few simple ingredients but you can taste the quality. What kind of Turkey do they use because it was so flavorful!! This has become one of my all time fave sandwiches!! The Italian sandwich was not my favorite because I didn't like one of the meats used but that's not their fault it's just my personal preference. There was some sort of sweet fennel seed like taste that I am not a fan of. So maybe look at all the ingredients if you're picky like me haha. I must add that I really dig the amount of iceberg lettuce they use. Gives it a good fresh crunch and it's exactly how I make my sandwiches at home! I am excited to go back and try many of the other sandwiches!! Order a half size!! If you order a full one it's two giant pieces.

I was stoked when Bread Head finally opened up on Montana. I am a huge sandwich foodie and this is sandwich heaven. They have daily specials: Cuban Wednesdays, Reuban Thursdays, Sausage Fridays (and some more specials). I have been to bread head twice and let's just say the interior decor and service are top notch! I've tried both the Thursday Special (pastrami) and the Mozzarella and yes they're both good but the Mozzarella is unique and delicious! You can taste all the fresh ingredients and that's what I admired the most about this place. They have great beers, Arnold palmers, apple pie and some additional snacks like pimento cheese dip.

Truly some of the best sandwiches my boyfriend and I have eaten. I truly can't think of many other vegetarian sandwiches as flavorful, hearty, as fresh as the mozzarella. Bf got the muffuletta and loved it. Food came out quick and store is cute.

Extremely mid. I mean lets be honest. The "half sandwich" is a full sandwhich. Maybe I came on an off day but the bread wasnt it. It was hard to bite and didnt give me a crispy light airy focaccia bread vibe that I'm used to. It hurt my mouth. There are a lot of sandwiches out there. I'd say its good to try once, but theres nothing special about it . At least they have a tiny parking lot behind the store which is nice. Staff is nice and welcoming too. But if im going to spend money on something fancier than a subway sandwich, I'd rather got to All antico vinaio. I'll give this place another shot tho, maybe I need to choose a diff sandwich.

I absolutely love the tuna sandwich at Bread head. It is by far one of my favorite sandwiches (and I'm not typically a sandwich person). I've taken them to the beach and far drives and the quality of sandwich stays intact. They also have these yummy picnic nachos that are addicting!!

I've been here a couple times now and while it's good, I would say it's a little overrated. The bread itself is amazing, but I've found most of the sandwiches to be kind of whatever. I've now tried the Calabrian Turkey, Muffaletta, Chicken Salad, Turkey Pesto, and the Mozzarella, with the Mozzarella being my favorite by far. I do appreciate that they have voodoo chips and the Arnold Palmer they have is quite tasty, so those are some major pros. For the crowds this place draws, it's a little on the smaller side and seating can get tight, but the dining area is clean and well serviced. The staff here at Bread Head are truly exceptional. They have always been extremely kind and as quick as they possibly can be. It's very rare you come across a staff that is this good and that seems to genuinely care about their jobs and giving customers a good experience. They all deserve a raise!

Cute little sandwich shop off Montana Ave. Totally worth the hype. The sandwiches are HUGE. I thought it was a little overpriced initially but then realized the half size is basically the size of a regular sandwich! The bread was perfectly crusty but still soft on the inside. Full of fresh ingredients. The turkey pesto and combo grinder were both delicious!

After seeing Bread Head pop up on my Instagram for a couple months, I finally drove out to the cute Montana area to pick up lunch for my boyfriend and I. Parking can be hit or miss, I parked down the street to avoid paying the meter. When I arrived around 12:30pm on a Thursday, it was totally packed with a decent line, but they moved through it at a great rate. Man taking my order was patient and helpful in answering my questions. The food came out at a reasonable time to where I knew it was made-to-order, but didn't have me waiting too long despite the lunch rush. Now onto the food.. I ordered the half size of both sandwich, and my photos show HALF of the half size. A half-size order is plenty big for one person! Order a full size if you plan to share 1 sandwich with another person. I added extra Lemon Pine Nut Spread to the Combo Grinder and it made it our favorite sandwich of the day, however the Muffaletta was equally as delicious and flavorful! The most pleasant surprise of the day was the Parmesan peach salad, which comes premade in little containers by the counter. This was SOOO delicious and unique tasting, it is now a must-order if I go! The parmesan tastes ridiculously high-quality, the peaches were perfectly ripe and sweet, and there is a garlic oily sauce, which makes this the most insanely delicious flavor explosion I've had in a while. Cannot wait to come back and try more sandos!!

Truly some of the BEST sandwiches! I ordered the combo grinder and my husband got the tuna. They were both so incredibly delicious! Here's where we screwed up: A HALF SANDWICH IS THE SIZE OF A NORMAL SANDWICH. A WHOLE SANDWICH IS ESSENTIALLY 2 SANDWICHES. We originally thought "wow, this is the most expensive sandwich I've ever gotten." And we're kind of like welp, guess we will have it once and never again. And then when we got our order we understood we accidentally got two gigantic sandwiches lol. We had our other "halves" for dinner the next night and were super glad we had them though! Truly one of the top sandwiches I've ever had and my husband said the same!

Service was fast and they made the sandwiches in record time. The turkey pesto was tasty, but messy. The pesto itself seemed to soak a little into the bread and make the bread greasier. I'd certainly return but would like try a different sandwich the next time!

We were so excited to try this As we are always hunting for good spots In our neighborhood And while the bread was tasty Everything else was pretty basic Nothing really wowed me and the flavors Were not memorable at all

This place is the best sandwich spot on the westside. The bread is obviously the focal point of the uniqueness of the sandwich. They stack a ton of meat in the sandwiches and have a solid portion of veggies and spread on them. I always get the turkey pesto. That's my absolute go to. Turkey is excellent quality. Pesto with avocado complements the delicious bread. I add some raw red onions with the lettuce. Not overly complicated of a sandwich but oh so delightful in every bite. I order online and they always have it ready super promptly. The inside has a cool vibe. It's not a huge spot but is ALWAYS packed and has a line (that's why I pick up online). I've tried basically every sandwich shop on the westside and I can confidently say this the hand down the best spot (and no disrespect to bay cities). Living three blocks away makes this place a Friday weekly go to.

Stopped in randomly today at 5pm before a dinner date at forma down the street. Didn't know any of the back story behind the place being insta famous however stopped in as I'm a deli/sandwich aficionado on both the west coast (California) and Northeast (Boston). I have top 10 lists of best sandwiches and delis that friends and acquaintances usually ask for me weekly. Anyways I saw deli and bread and was ok I need to try this place. It was quiet I was the only customer in at 5pm. Friendly service everyone working said hi. I ordered the Calabrian Turkey as if you can't get a turkey sandwich right I'm not sure you should be selling sandwiches. Anyways my sandwich was ready in like 5 minutes. I eat it on the sidewalk on a bench. First let's talk about portions. I got the half sandwich and I'm a large guy (200lb) and if the half sandwich is what I had then I'm not sure who or what could eat a full size but it's definitely not a single 200lb man. I was most looking forward to the bread as it's in their name unfortunately it was hard and a bit stale. It was like pizza crust which is ok but gets chewy after a while. The turkey was solid and seemed to be nicely sliced fresh turkey meat. The dressing seemed like a simple thousand island dressing. The sandwiches had triple amount of lettuce compared to anything else on it which drowned the other flavors a bit Finally the cheddar cheese was ok but I could have used more as the lettuce drowned it out. Otherwise the sandwich was maybe a 3/5. Nothing amazing, it was ok. Did it make me want to go back? No. Anyways I appreciate another sandwich shop being open and admit maybe the bread was stale because i came at 5pm though if you're open till 7p I expect the bread to be made every 2 hours or so. Maybe I'll try a different sandwiches I'm the future.

The ingredients were fresh and sauce was tasty. The bread was really good but too crispy. I would love if it were softer and thicker. The sandwiches were pricey and they wouldn't make any substitutions. I'm vegetarian and didn't want to get meat and they still charged me extra if I wanted to any sort of extra ingredient even tomatoes! I don't like getting nickeled and dimed. Not too much seating inside and the half is really a full meal. The tomatoes in the sandwich needed salt. It definitely gets messy and it was good. Something was missing.

Came where with my sister and we split half the sandwich, which is plenty. I like how clean and pleasant the vibe is here and really like the Jimmy Brand themed restroom. I do hope they get another kind of bread as well because the focaccia bread they use is quite oily so would be good to have an option.

Outstanding sandwich! The focaccia bread was really good. Light but crunchy. I ordered the BLT and added avocado. I thought it was tasty but I was a little disappointed by how little bacon was in it. I would definitely eat here again! Line can get long though so keep that in mind.

My friend mentioned this place to me last week, so I took a peek at the menu online and I've been thinking about this place since! I'm so glad I finally made it today. It's located in Santa Monica, cute little small sandwich shop but very crowded! It's open seating but limited, so grab a seat as soon as you see one available! Parking is terrible (street/meter). I did not see a private lot. Now to the food, delicious!!!! I ordered the daily special which was the Reuben (pastrami and sauerkraut) and I asked for a side of garlic mayo. Chefs kiss! My friend really enjoyed his sandwich as well (combo grinder). The half size portion is enough but the whole size is a lot! So if you want left overs or want to share, definitely order the whole size. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Constantly cleaning tables and asking if you need anything. It was crowded and the orders came out fast and accurate. Might be my new sandwich spot!

Very fast service. The sandwiches kinda suck. What gives? Basically inedible without the hot sauce.

If you're on that health kick and want a sandwich, the mozzarella sandwich is for you! Fresh mozz, homemade focaccia bread, avocado, and pickled red onions all squished together! Tasty asf and i feel like it's the epitome of an "LA sandwich". Aesthetic, healthy-ish, and "artisanal" haha peep the pic the silly seagulls on the wall too
