Little Nelly

"Sandwich shops are everywhere in Burbank, a neighborhood dominated by hungry studio workers who are all short on time. If we had to pick a favorite, it would be Little Nelly. The all-day spot functions as part bakery, market, and gift shop. Come for a mayo-slicked, herby chicken salad sandwich and you'll leave with a frozen La Morra pizza, a few scones, and an artisanal rolling pin. This is a to-go operation only, so just do what you always do and eat in your car with a teeny tiny tear rolling down your face. If you’re an assistant whose job it is to feed an entire set, rely on Little Nelly for their robust catering services, which include bagel spreads, BBQ packages, and build-your-own sandwich boards. " - brant cox

Come for a mayo-slicked, herby chicken salad sandwich and you'll leave with a frozen La Morra pizza, a few scones, and a rolling pin in your bag.

"Little Nelly is now open in the city’s Magnolia Park neighborhood at 3815 W. Magnolia Boulevard, selling everything from sandwiches and breakfast burritos to hot sauces and popular titles from famous chefs and authors. Little Nelly is the newest offshoot of under-the-radar catering outfit Whoa Nelly Catering, which has been managing private events in greater LA for more than a dozen years. The small, sunny shop is the group’s first foray into a truly public-facing business, and it comes as greater Los Angeles continues to see a rise in tiny spaces with big retail ambitions. Customers can pick up breads, biscuits, pastries, cookies, and cakes by the slice. The shop will also sell goods made elsewhere, including pizzas from La Morra and burritos from Burritos La Palma, as well as cookbooks from names like Molly Baz, and of-the-moment brands like Graza olive oil. The cozy, wood-rich shop was designed by Preen, the firm behind Lasita, Pine & Crane, and more." - Farley Elliott
