    Steve S.

    Good sandwich spot where they make their own bread and it's freshly baked every 20 minutes. I got the hot pastrami sandwich and the bread was truly very tasty--crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. The pastrami was pretty good as well, had nice flavor and came with mustard, pickles and peppers. Across vast competition in the pastrami sandwich space in LA, this sandwich stands its ground and is definitely worth a try. As a side, I got a small caprese salad and it tasted very fresh and yummy. The place itself is updated and has inside and outside tables. The customer service was very solid. Would come back here again!

    The Godfather (L) $17.95

    What I Ordered: -The Godfather (L) $17.95 Works w/Extra Hot Peppers "Come at the king, you best not miss" - Omar from The Wire. That's how I feel about All About the Bread's take on the Godmother sandwich. All About the Bread's "Godfather" sandwich features a blend of spicy capicola, mortadella, ham, prosciutto, and Genoa salami, along with provolone cheese and standard toppings. I added extra hot peppers, but, in my opinion, they weren't very spicy; they seemed to use Giardiniera peppers. Also, be aware that they use a generous amount of mustard. While the meat quality doesn't quite match Bay Cities, the bread at All About the Bread is truly exceptional and lives up to their name. It's much softer than Bay Cities' chewy filone, so your jaw will thank you. I particularly love the bubbly crust; it offers a satisfying crunch without being overly chewy, and the bread's fluffiness is something special. You should definitely check it out! While Bay Cities may have the edge with their version of the Godmother/Godfather, All About the Bread's bread is superior. I'd explore other sandwiches here, but I wouldn't order the Godmother again because I find it more enjoyable at Bay Cities. The Godfather isn't the king of Italian subs in my opinion, at least not yet. My friend, who frequents both places, agrees that Bay Cities' Godmother is the better choice. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the sandwiches are prepared quickly. I appreciate the shop's ample seating both inside and out, and it's nice to eat and people-watch on Melrose.

    Honey Lime Chicken
    Remy H.

    Loved the honey lime chicken sandwich! Not sure if mine had any jalapeño - wished there was more heat. The bread was soft and a little chewy (in a good way of course)

    Sandwiches were good! Custom service and staff was great! Staff was able to make accommodation for my toddler niece.

    We had some very good sandwiches. The bread is the best thing, as name implies. I like a thinner bread with a crisp to it and soft inside and that's it! Generous portion of meat and cheese. Super easy online ordering and our stuff was ready quickly. Nice price for a good size sandwich. I had the Godfather and the regular size sandwich was 2 meals for me. The shop is bright and clean and the staff were incredibly nice. The chocolate chip cookies are great too.

    The Godfather with potato salad
    Tommy L.

    I stopped in today and ordered the Godfather from the really nice guy behind the counter. He took my order and right away I could tell this place was gonna be good. Super friendly, outgoing, and just had good energy. Let's start tho with the interior. Super clean, wide open space with tall ceilings, big windows, and lots of natural light. The layout is simple, and everything feels nice and organized. You can see all the meats and sides through the glass. It just gives off that legit deli vibe, and I love that. Now the sandwich. The Godfather is loaded. It comes with spicy capicola, mortadella, prosciutto di parma, black forest ham, genoa salami, and provolone. Then they pile it with pickles, onions, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, Italian dressing, mustard, vegan mayo, and some Chicago peppers. It's got that classic Italian flavor, and everything inside tasted fresh and balanced. The meats were packed with flavor and the dressing combo gave it that nice tang and little bit of heat. My only really small complaint was the bread. It was great, but just a little more chewy than I expected. I usually like my bread softer, but it still held up well with everything stuffed inside. No mess, no sogginess. Just wish it had a softer bite. I also ordered a side of their potato salad, and I was honestly surprised how good it was. Creamy, cold, flavorful, and you can tell it's made in-house. Probably one of the better potato salads I've had from a deli. Oh, and by the way, the gentleman who took my order?... turns out he was the manager. While I was sitting there eating my lunch, he came over and handed me a complimentary bottle of water. That was classy. First-class move. I'll definitely be back.

    What's in the godfather
    Daniel B.

    Will never come back here again. After I got an order to go, they refused to let me use the bathroom. Apparently, their policy is onlt for dine-in. Manager is on a power trip and petty!

    I've had my eye on this place for a year now. Came in on a whim as I was in the area. I had good expectations from all the reviews, but wow, this place really speaks for itself! Raphael was very kind and gave us recommendations on what to get--the Godfather and Milan Salami. Each one an amazing sub, and the bread, incredibly fresh. Definitely will be coming back as it's run by an amazing crew. Glad to have dropped by!

    Hot Pastrami Sandwich
    Cece L.

    Sandwich is affordable and tasty! They make their bread in house. Highly recommend the godfather with the works. It is so delicious! Just wish they would have an ice cup to go with their canned sodas. Staff are friendly and helpful when placing orders. They have a big screened tv and they were showing football the day I went. They have table indoors and outdoors. Small parking lot in front of them that is shared with other shops.

    Evan K.

    Pretty good sandwich spot that definitely fulfills your sandwich cravings. I got the Turkey Club which was rich from the mustard and italian dressing. It was really good and I liked the crisp bread too. The menu was easy to navigate and their Godfather is their most popular sandwich. I also tried their Italian sandwich, my girlfriend loved this sandwich. I probably won't go out my way to get All About the Bread but there's really nothing to complain about, I'm just comparing it to other spots.

    The Godfather, medium works!
    Stephanie M.

    Shoutout to All about the BREAD! my new favorite sandwich spot. I live in Santa Monica, and will drive out of my way or DoorDash because this sandwich spot is so GOOD! I love a good Italian sub. We have Bay Cites where I live in Santa Monica and they call the sandwich there the godmother. Well folks the Godfather is a way tastier sandwich... just saying, and the BREAD! Omg so good and fresh, best bread in LA. The bread is baked hot and fresh every 20 min. The service in store is excellent, staff is attentive and then even have JUMBO dill pickles! You must check out this sandwich spot if you are on Melrose. I would drive any day from Santa Monica to Melrose because it's that good! #happycustomer #lovethegodfather

    Can you buy just the bread by the loaf?

    Is it possible to buy fresh baguettes?

    Nope

    Is the Godfather the exact same sandwich as the Godmother at Bay Cities Deli?

    I had the Godfather today. It's very similar, and it's AMAZING. Not *quite* as good as the Godmother (because they ask you to add ingredients yourself through Postmates) but it's very close. I'm nowhere near Bay Cities but I'm pretty close to AATB.… Read more

Yes, I know, we all wanna be skinny like those beautiful French girls... ;) But Sometimes.... You've gotta just ignore social norms and say F it! F is for French! lol Yeah, sometimes you've gotta just exclaim: "I'm gettin' the Burger and I'm most DEFINITELY getting the Fries!" And nobody and I mean Nobody is going to stop me! Yeah, that was me and my mindset when I was out at the Beverly Center back in August. Hey! It was lunch. I was hungry. & Nicolas Eatery was there to handle all my needs. And just like Napoleon Bonaparte would have done... I strolled in, I walked straight to the bar top, sat down, placed my napkin in my lap, ordered a burger, a side of fries and of course L.A's FINEST tap water. And just like that, instead of following trends... I was setting them! So what did I get you ask?? Le Beverly Burger of course!! This alongside their perfectly fried French fries which you know I dipped in Ketchup... Yes, I know, so American of me! =) Sadly, my only mistake I made on this day... I should have ordered my favorite French Beer, 1664 Kronenbourg.... Damn! But Lance, this Mall is so crazy, where the heck do I go?? Nicolas Eatery is located on Level 6, or "six" in French (Fun Fact: spelled the same, sounds totally different) and trust, my French is No Good! If you're able to snag a window seat, you will get a clear view of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign in the distance. Of course I went with the Burger, but trust, this place has more than just French Fries. -French Baguette with Butter -French Onion Soup -French Omelette But if want to drink like the French do... You know they've got a little vin (wine) or you can go with the classic French 75 cocktail. So, to this ai say: Be like the French. Eat like the French. Drink... Like the French and come start your own La Révolution! But instead of storming Bastille, storm Beverly Center and demand your freedom to order whatever the hell you choose from Nicolas Eatery! And after you're done, walk out proudly singing Viva La France!!!

The restaurant is billed as French-Vietnamese and previously offered pho and related fare but did not have these options on our visit. Our family came on a Saturday evening after an afternoon in the mall. I got the Ahi Tuna burger ($18), a substantial slab of Ahi Tuna steak on a bun with a wasabi mayo and paired with perfectly crispy, well salted frites ($5). We also got the French lobster roll ($26) a decent, but not groundbreaking, sandwich with a spicy sauce. One of our children got the tomato soup ($10) which was phenomenal - creamy and tomatoey - and paired well with grilled cheese. The cafe was clean and positioned with a great view; service was good too, with the waitress making suggestions and accommodating our children's special requests. Prices, as listed above, were excellent for the quality and quantity of food provided in an otherwise quite expensive area. More Parisien then Indochine, Nicholas deserves the unusually high rating it commands for the area. If you're in the Beverly Center and looking for a quality, high-value meal, Nicholas est la meilleur choix. Magnifique! Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5

FOOD Bubble Waffle with Pistachio Gelato (5.5/5): Omg! I didn't know they have egg waffle here as well. It's a classic Hong Kong street food that I grew up with, you don't really see it around. The egg waffle is tasty, it doesn't taste bland and not overly seasoned (it has the egg custard-y taste, not too sweet), and it has a light crisp outside. I had a gelato to pair with it. The pistachio flavor is yummy, it has chopped pistachio nuts inside so the texture is rich. If you have a sweet tooth, pair it with a scoop of gelato, they compliment each other well. *finish the gelato first so it doesn't make the egg waffle loose it's crisp Pastrami Brisket Sandwich (5/5): They recommended me the Pastrami Brisket Sandwich and the prosciutto one, I haven't had lunch so I went with the pastrami- it was good. The bread is pretty soft and it's decently portioned, you could share the sandwich. It's a simple sandwich that's healthy and flavourful, you don't feel heavy after eating it. I like that it's not messy to eat (not overly saucey)! They hold the fillings with the little wooden sticks. AMBIENCE Sitting is spacious and clean, it's at the corner of the mall so it's not too crowded. There is enough space to put your shopping bags if you're trying to grab a quick bite around. Service is quite decent, the staff recommended the right stuff. It didn't take a long time for the food to be ready, good for grab and go. OVERALL I think it's a casual spot that serves healthy quick bites, it's a good option to sit down after or in between a shopping spree. It's not loud so you could definitely hold conversations here.

Their homemade and freshly baked focaccia bread was sooo good! Toasted perfectly. Not too crispy, not too soft.
