Cheese, wine, flowers, and delicious sandwiches daily
"In a sunny, colorful building on Pico Blvd., you’ll find Lady & Larder, a wonderful women-owned shop selling cheese, charcuterie, flowers, produce, and bottles of wine. Past the shelves stocked with fresh persimmons, candles, and German lagers is a secret lunch menu, a walk-in-only operation that changes daily. There are usually a mix of hot sandwiches and grab-and-go baguettes, like the “Yes, Honey,” which comes with turkey, ham, cheddar, and shaved gem lettuce on Bub & Grandma’s bread or the royal ham and whipped date butter-stuffed “Franch Girl,” that arrives on a Clark Street baguette. Check their Instagram for the latest updates." - sylvio martins, jess basser sanders
"Lady & Larder is the type of spot you might see on a lifestyle blogger's curated Instagram feed. This pink Santa Monica shop caters to all of your wine, flower, and artisanal cheese needs, but its secret sandwich menu makes it a top priority for your lunch rotation. From 12-3pm, you’ll find sandwiches that sound like a high-end charcuterie board stuffed into a chewy baguette. You can’t go wrong with the Day Dreamer slathered with fromage blanc and thinly sliced turkey, or the Yes, Honey with sweet ham, mustard pickle relish, and a heaping pile of shredded cheddar." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"Lady & Larder is a tiny shop on Sawtelle best known for creating fantastic cheese and meat boards, but they’ve fully transitioned into a “Lady Bodega” concept. Available for both takeout and delivery, the extensive menu has produce boxes, pantry essentials, and even kitchen utensils, but don’t skip the rare cheese and meat options. You’re drinking wine tonight, so you might as well have a charcuterie board to go with it." - brant cox
"Lady & Larder, a tiny shop known for selling Instagram-worthy picnic baskets and charcuterie boards on Los Angeles’s Westside, will open a retail shop in Carmel Valley." - Lauren Saria
"A Santa Monica cheese shop that provided leftover sliced bread which made for a very successful cheese plate and sandwiches when paired with purchases like pasteurized sheep’s-milk cheese and pickles, but the bread proved perishable — molding by the third day unless frozen promptly." - Meghan McCarron
