This place is truly all about the bread--and it shows in every bite. Fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious every time I come. But what really keeps me coming back is how they treat me like family. The service is genuine, welcoming, and always makes me feel at home. Hands down one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend! read more

Got: Al's Special - turkey, provolone + Hot Pastrami - medium peppers Godfather - medium peppers Ordered to go. Service friendly. Efficient. Sandwiches were ready in under 10 minutes. Prices for small 6" were $14 or large 11" $18. Of course it made sense to get the large! Bread is pretty decent. House made sourdough-like roll that is chewy, a little crunchy and not difficult to eat. Toothsome in just the right way. Fillings were fairly abundant, fresh. Flavors of the Godfather were a little bland compared to the Godmother of BC in SM. Not entirely sure what the difference is - salt & pepper? Italian seasoning or dressing? Will have to do some more investigating back at BC's (yeah!) Nice place. Some tables inside but all were full on this winter day. Tables outside as well. Some parking with more in neighborhood. Definitely recommend and would go back if I'm in the area. read more

We were craving Bay Cities's Godmother, but they're closed on Tuesday so we ended up at All About the Bread, The Godfather is a very close facsimile to the Godmother from Bay Cities...it was delicious. We also got a roast beef and a hot pastrami, both with hot peppers. They were also delicious. read more

Stopped by this sandwich spot by chance when I was riding my bike up and down Melrose during CicLaVia's Stranger Things event. I got the Godfather sandwich, and it's quite a good portion for the price. I was only able to eat half and save the rest for dinner. Really good Italian sandwich. Order came out within 15 minutes. Clean space, bathroom, and friendly service. Would definitely come again. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

All About the Bread definitely lives up to its name. I tried the oven roasted chicken and the meatball sandwich, and both were phenomenal. Flavorful, satisfying, and clearly made with care. The bread was fresh, perfectly cooked, and crispy in all the right ways. The staff were also amazing, super friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating. Overall, a great experience and a spot I'd happily return to. read more

We hosted my family for lunch with sandwiches and salads from here, and it was perfect! Since everyone has different preferences snd tastes, I had them choose what they wanted in advance, and everyone loved what they had which included chicken, meatball, pastrami, tuna salad and turkey! We had the sandwiches cut in quarters, so we could easily share. They got the order right, and everything was there! Will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

I don't live in LA but every chance I get I come to All About the Bread. The sandwiches are incredibly delicious and the service is amazing. They've got great music taste and sports going on it's awesome. Lots of drink and chip options but if you want a really good sandwich you must come here! It's got a special place in my heart. read more

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. read more

Tuna, meatball, and turkey on the side for my dog. Have to say it was good food for the money. They forgot to pack my dog's turkey breast (on the side). I returned and they gave me a generous helping plus a cookie to make up for it. read more

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! read more

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! read more

All About the Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After a long day visiting LA, we were looking for a great meal to order into the hotel. After deciding we would try a local place to get something, we found All About the Bread and ordered it to be delivered. The sandwiches were delivered fast and on time. Soon we were settled in to have huge sandwiches, which some say are some of the best in LA. Let's see how it measures up in my experience. First, I always wanna talk about the vibe of a place. We did not visit the physical location, but looking over the menu and getting familiar with the place, I can tell that this is a sandwich shop that takes itself seriously. Baking their bread, offering premium meats, and toppings. I would love to go inside next time, but I will say even as someone who got a delivered order, the care they take with their brand comes through and is much appreciated. We got two different sandwiches, I got Al's Signature with no mayo, and my partner Elisabeth went wild and got a roast beef sandwich. These sandwiches were super fresh and delicious. The toppings and condiments were laid on with perfection. One of the biggest food sins a sandwich can commit is overfilling, where everything spills out; no spillage here, it's a finely crafted vessel for the ingredients. This is the kind of sandwich that just needs to be carried to your mouth; you don't have to put that much care into the bread. But that's not how All About the Bread played it; instead, they are making some of the most crispy on the outside, moist on the inside bread every day in their store. The bread is what brings this review from a 4-star (would go again) to a 5-star (best in their class that I've had) review. It would be easy with bread like this to sleep on the ingredients; it would be easy with ingredients like this to sleep on the bread. All About the Bread said, "Who needs sleep?" and threw it down hard on both fronts. We tried a few places in our trip to LA, but this was my favorite. This is a sandwich shop that knows what it's doing. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

This place was so good! I want this sandwich everyday. The bread was the star honestly hence the name of the place but it was seriously really good bread. I got the option of hot peppers and they were pretty spicy I can handle spice but I kinda picked out some of the peppers so if you have a low spice tolerance I would go with medium or no peppers! They also took my order very quick and I got my sandwich super quick so if you're in a rush this is a good spot to go! Plenty of seating area. read more

Believe this is my second time at All About The Bread -- this time I ordered online and picked up my sandwich in a very convenient back entrance where I was in and out within a matter of 30 seconds. Ordered the godfather this time, stuffed with meats and shredded lettuce. Very yummy, and the regular size is more than enough for one person for lunch. Affordable prices compared to other sandwich shops in LA, especially considering the size, too! I had half and saved the other half for today as I write this review. Still holds up after 23 hours! The bread is good but not like, WOW, for a place called All About the Bread. Still I will return! read more

I'd say this is a 3.5. Free parking in front, a rarity in this area. Nice shop. Little disappointed there wasn't a water station, which Ive seen in most cafes. Service is amazingly fast. Two sandwiches in two minutes?! It IS all about the bread. Very good chew and good crunch. A half sandwhich is more than enough, even for someone who can eat. The tuna with the works was well done; the pickles and bit of heat from the peppers elevated it. Not heavy at all, as is sometimes the case. A fresh flavor. The burrata with homemade pesto was a huge hit. Creamy cheese, superb pesto. This is the one to get! read more

Decided to try a new sandwich place for lunch today and had one delivered from here. While I ordered hot it arrived more lukewarm, this is not a fault on restaurant it's actually mine! I didn't realize the location and had it delivered all the way in Glendale! This is just a caution or anyone else wanting delivery so you aren't surprised. That said! I absolutely need to go in person because this was an amazing sandwich. It's so simple too! fresh ingredients and the most perfect crunchy bread I've had yet. Lightly seasoned chicken breast was on mine with thinly shredder lettuce (a secret like of mine), fresh tomatoes, light mayo and salt and pepper. Everything was a cohesive melody that resulted in an enjoyable bite of a sandwich. Honestly I regret not getting one for my mother. But that just means we'll have to go together! read more

At 12.95 for cold sandwiches and 13.95 for hot sandwiches I was expecting an amazing sandwich but it was mediocre at best. Their sandwiches definitely didn't blow my mind away and this was my first meal of the day at 3pm so I was hungry. My friend got the cilantro lime chicken and I got the Godfather with the Works. I saw this place blow up on tiktok and I must say it is definitely all about the bread. You can see them baking fresh loaves in the back. The bread was fresh with a crunchy exterior and soft interior. I would 100% come back for the bread but as for the sandwich you can probably get their ingredients anywhere else and make your own sandwich. The cilantro chicken lime lacked a limey flavor and I'm not sure if it's just me but I really dislike warm avocado it seems like they head up the whole sandwich together which really ruined it for me. The heated sandwich was also more rubbery and did not have the crunchy exterior. The Godfather was good but honestly was like any other cold cut sandwich. I definitely would come back only to purchase the bread. I would say compared to Ghost Sando shop that's only .3 miles away this does not compare. read more

I have been craving Bay Cities Godmother, but I could not trek all the way to Santa Monica. So, I happened to find All About the Bread on Uber Eats one day, I knew I had to try it. Rather than trying to get Uber Eats, I decided to just pick it up. I was about 30 minutes away from closing and I wanted to make sure that I was able to get a sandwich, so I called them before I left and the person who pick up my call was so nice and helpful. I came in about 10 minutes from closing and the person made me a sandwich with no issues. Of course, I had to get the Godfather. I did take it back home to eat, but I think that the restaurant was super cute and would have loved to eat it there had it not been closing. Parking was tough. There are a few spots in the front (and I think there were some spot in the back?). I actually found street parking about half block away and walked over. As for the sandwich, I actually liked the bread a little more than Bay Cities. I know many fellow Yelpers thought the bread was too hard, but I actually think Bay Cities bread might be a little harder for me. To be fair, I ate it when I got home, so it was a little softer, but I have also eaten Godmother after getting home (and the trek back from Santa Monica is way longer for me) and the bread was still pretty hard. The inside was pretty similar to the Godmother. So, if you are looking for a good alternative, definitely check All about the Bread. read more

I stopped by this sandwich shop and ordered the highly-recommended "Godfather" sandwich. I was not disappointed! Service was quick (though I came in 30 min before close, so they were wrapping up) and there was ample seating in the clean dining area. The bread was fresh and had a perfect balance of softness and crunch. However, be sure to eat it the day of - I saved half for the next day and it got a bit soggy. My only major issue is the parking situation, which is inconvenient. The front lot requires some tricky maneuvering along the sidewalk/curb at times to get to the slot, but luckily there's street parking nearby. On the bright side, the location makes up for it - just across the street is a great spot to grab a sweet treat at Milk Bar soft serve! Overall, a good sandwich, but be prepared for some parking challenges. I don't think I would go out of my way to get a sandwich again but if I happened to be in the area, why not -- I'd try the pastrami or another hot sandwich. read more

Love this place great sandwiches, bread is awesome, been ordering for years.

Everyone says larchmont has the best sandwiches but I disagree, Alll about the bread has the best sandwiches hands down, my favorite would be the godfather & pairing it with a potato salad on the side or the artichoke salad. Service is always 100/10, everyone is so sweet and welcoming which I love & depending on what time you go, you can get a sweet spot outside by the plants. Melrose is always loud but it doesn't bother me as long as my tummy is happy. read more

All About the Bread - Godfather sandwich and Mediterranean Artichokes and Cheese Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came in for a sandwich, came out with a half pound baby, haha. I ordered a regular size "The Godfather" & it's a good size. Now, as far as the bread, damn, it's a little too crunchy for my liking. I had read this in some of the reviews but still wanted to try it. The flavor is there but the bread is too hard in my opinion which is surprising considering they bake fresh bread every 20 minutes. Anyways, if they fixed this I think they would see an increase in returning customers. Back to the sandwich, I got mine with all the works & medium peppers which was the right spice level for me. But if you really want spicy then opt for the hot peppers. As for ambiance, it's cool; they offer both indoor & outdoor seating. Lastly, didn't take long for the order, like 5 minutes. Anyways, hope all about the bread considers giving some TLC to the bread read more
