Bread Head is an unassuming sandwich shop with American-style sandwiches on their custom-made focaccia that seemingly resembles Tuscan stracciatella bread. Although the bread's outer-layer has a nice crunch, the bread's inner-layer is quite dry and lacks any sponginess. I wouldn't dare say that eating a sandwich of theirs is akin to eating fillings & fix-ins between two crackers; however, it comes close. The fix-ins and fillings themselves are good quality, and their sandwiches sauces are great. But for an establishment so inaptly named Bread Head, I'd figure the bread here would be better. Exercise great discretion prior to eating here. That's all, folks.
Not a big sandwich person, but I was very pleasantly surprised by Bread Head. I ordered the Calabrian turkey with garlic mayo, and all the ingredients were super fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. The real star of the sandwich was the homemade focaccia. It had the perfect texture, lightly crunchy on the outside, yet soft, chewy, and buttery on the inside. The bread was full of flavor and anything but bland. Just a quick side note: many of their sandwiches include nuts, so if you have a nut allergy, be sure to double-check what you order.
I'm very impressed by the bread at Bread Head! The sandwiches are messy, but the bread is so good and really acts as the star of the sandwich. The fillings are just the icing on top! My friend and I got the Cuban and the Combo Grinder to share, and I thought both were very well seasoned, well packed with food, and very delicious. The cost of these sandwiches is a bit pricy, but I think they're worth the splurge to try every now and then. I also have to shout out the service at this location. I came around 15 minutes to closing when the staff was getting ready to clean up, and they still happily took my order and got it out quickly and without errors. I really appreciated that!
Really good sandwich My only issue is they don't have jalapeños How can a legendary sandwich place not have one jalapeños so if you like a spicy sandwich, unfortunately you won't find here
Count me in - I'm officially BREADY to be a breadhead! Was so excited that this cult favorite sandwich shop finally opened in Westwood village, and it's definitely my new favorite spots for sandwiches! They specialize in generously loaded sandwiches made from their fresh, housemade focaccia bread that has the most amazing, crispy and perfectly salted crust. So far, I've tried the Combo Grinder, which contains three different kinds of meat, and is perfectly balanced out with peppers, tomatoes, and some of the freshest lettuce I've had. They also offer a student/UCLA health discount, and their sandwiches are definitely worth the trek from campus!
Parking in the area is terrible but I got lucky and my friend was able to drop me off to run in and pick up our order. We ordered the Calabrian Turkey and the Combo Grinder to enjoy and absolutely loved the bread that was used. Both sandwiches were stuffed (especially the combo grinder) and for the most part stayed together well. Unfortunately the combo grinder did get half soggy because of the ingredients. However, it was delicious and refreshing and surprisingly paired well with the Calabrian Turkey that was much cheesier. Overall, would be back again and think it's a solid sandwich spot,
Delicious focaccia sandwiches! This location just opened recently, and I've tried the turkey pesto, muffaletta, and roast pork and broccoli rabe (my favorite), and they've all been delicious. They have weekday daily specials which are their hot sandwiches, while everything else on the menu is cold sandwiches. Their ingredients are so fresh and the bread has a nice crunch. There's plenty of setting inside and the staff is friendly and will offer their recommendations. The only downside is their sandwiches can be expensive but they do have discounts for UCLA students and staff. Overall, would recommend to try it out!
This is the second location I've been to. Their breakfast items are bomb! I had their salmon sandwich and classic breakfast burrito, it was so good! Eating those two was very filling. Service was great, the employees were very nice. This is near UCLA so the atmosphere was nice, especially in the morning.
PARKING: Walked here but I am sure there's a parking structure here! SEATING: Very chic seating! There's a bar with 6 individual seats with a cool mirror in front. Two tables with about 4 seats to each. It's a small space but I am assuming it's for to go mostly. Very cozy! SERVICE: Great service! I walked by and got excited to see Bread Head here. I didn't know there was a location here but found out today was the opening day! Our cashier, Buster, was extremely nice and asked if I had any questions but I didn't because I had been wanting to go to the other location so I knew kinda what was happening with the menu. The other two workers were very nice as well! When I walked out, I did see they were doing a promo for UCLA students so I wish they asked I was one because I am but it's okay--the sandwich is that great that I'm not upset about it. FOOD: I got the mozzarella to-go to sit in the Broxton Plaza and oh my gosh, that man was not lying when he said that it was a good choice. He asked if I wanted to upgrade to turkey but I wasn't feeling meat. It definitely would have elevated it even more but the sandwhich itself is PERFECT! The bread was just phenomenal, crisp, and delicious. The sandwich was stuffed to the brim with fresh and delightful veggies. It was like a breath of fresh air. The mozzarella was airy and milky like a cloud. The pickled red onions and za'atar spread really tied it all together. Everything in the sandwhich worked harmoniously. I would consider myself a huge Bread Head fan with just the one bite!! OVERALL: Definitely will be coming back here again and again because it is so close to me!! Wow! Thinking already what to get next!!
Parking: There is limited street parking. If you're able to find any then it's your lucky day. I think there is garage parking nearby, but don't quote me. I walked here (: Inside: The inside of the store is small, but comfortable. There are a couple of tables inside and counter seating. They have a water station and to-go boxes you can grab on your own. PSA there is no outdoor seating. Combo Grinder: This sandwich is it. If you're not sure and you don't know what to choose go with this one. It was screaming PICK me, CHOOSE me, LOVE me when I read the description so I did. It's hard to describe the taste, but your taste buds will thank you. I guess I would say it's tangy, sweet, buttery and refreshing. Pesto: This sandwich was pretty decent. It was very well put together, but it was a bit too bitter and salty for my taste. Also the cheese choice it came with was a bit off to me. Hours: Open 7 days a week from 11 am to 7 pm Weekday Hot Specials: - Monday: Meatball Parmesan - Tuesday: Roasted Pork & Broccoli Rabe - Wednesday: Cuban - Thursday: Reuben - Friday: Sausage & Peppers Overall: The prices can be quite pricey, but if you want to treat yourself I would say go here. 10 outta 10 will be back again to try out another sammie for sure. PSA - They give student discounts if you're a student at UCLA!
Hit the spot! One of the many locations of Bread Head in LA. There's a 20% discount right now for UCLA students and employees with ID until 11/30! It's located right next to the Kreation so parking may be tricky if you're driving but walkable if you live in the Westwood area but if not can always look for paid parking elsewhere. Two individual tables insides with long table and stools on the opposite side. Steady flow of business when I went for lunch but no issues with getting a spot to sit. Got the combo grinder. Their sandwiches use a focaccia bread so just watch out for the crispy exterior! Wish that maybe they have different breads so you can opt for bread with softer/more pillowy interior but just a personal preference. The vegetables, especially the iceberg lettuce, were fresh and crisp with a generous layer of meat. The perfect amount of pickled bell peppers to help cut through the meat and cheese and carbs. Overall, solid sandwich spot. Not anything life changing but if you're in the area and looking for a quick place to stop by for a good sandwich this is your spot.
I'm rarely impressed by a sandwich but the sandwiches at bread head blew me away! The bread is made fresh throughout the day in house. We had to wait a bit for our order because they were baking a fresh batch of bread but it was so worth it. The bread is perfectly crispy on the outside but chewy and fluffy on the inside. Ordered the Calabrian turkey which was a perfect complement to the bread. There's not a ton of seating inside but lots of outdoor places nearby. Great place to grab a quick and satisfying lunch.
Catered sandwiches from here for a recent housewarming, and the food was very well received by our guests! The fan favorites were the turkey pesto, combo, and mozzarella. It was very easy to place an order online and everything was packaged nicely upon pickup. I appreciate that the chips were individually packaged allowing our guests to choose their adventure. I saw a sign that they have breakfast burritos on the weekends? Very much looking forward to coming back! read more

Such a good spot. I work across the street and coworkers kept telling me try this spot so I finally did. I tried the BLT but replaced the lettuce with avocado. I also grabbed the delicious homemade lemonade. Service was also 10/10. Definitely recommend and can't wait to go back and try their breakfast. read more

my family and i visited on a weekday and were lucky enough to find street parking! we ordered a BLT, combo grinder, and meatball parm (mondays only), and all of them were absolutely delicious! i will say that the bread is a bit crunchy, which made it difficult to bite into, but the sandwich itself is yummy. the service was fairly quick, and the sandwiches came out in about 10 minutes. there's not much seating inside, but they have outdoor seating options too! it's in a great location, so there's plenty of businesses to check out too. read more

Best sandwich I ever had, the turkey pesto is incredible. At first, I was disappointed that they only offered their sandwiches (except the daily special) cold, since I always get warm sandwiches. However, I was surprised when I absolutely loved the turkey pesto. The bread is so unique and amazing, not bread-y and has an amazing texture that elevates the flavors in the sandwich. Pesto is homemade and delicious. I get it without the garlic mayo because the pesto is already very flavorful. The line and wait does get long during lunch hours, so I try to go at opening or in the afternoon. Casual ambience and small seating area. Overall, incredible. read more
i tried a few of their sandwiches now, but i think the turkey pesto is the best one the bread has a bite to it, it has a chew i'm not used to in sandwich bread, but i don't hate it. i think the best part is just the freshness of the ingredients, i think everything's well balanced and the sandwich was somehow refreshing lol i would probably choose lorenzo over this but it is more affordable and accessible for me, so i would still come back read more
I was excited to try breadhead for the first time. There are two tables inside and some individual seats as well. As it is in westwood, parking is metered street parking or paid structure parking. I decided to try the turkey pesto, but I was intrigued by their hot special for today which was a Reuben. I was helped right away and my sandwich came out fast. The bread tasted like a focaccia bread that was crispy on the outside. The pesto was delicious and there was a variety of texture in the bite which I appreciated. The sandwich was a good size and it was more than enough food on its own for lunch, I didn't need any sides. I also noticed some people splitting a sandwich between two people so I wasn't the only one who thought the sandwich was pretty big. I really enjoyed my sandwich and will be back to try more. read more

Bread Head is a welcome addition to the Westwood community!! Good food, good people, and discounts for UCLA students. I really enjoyed the Muffaletta, complete with salami, ham, cheese, an olive salad (a clear winner for fans of olives like myself!!), and finished with a garlic mayo on top of crusty but bouncy fresh focaccia bread. The staff were really friendly! There's a small amount of indoor seating. The lemonade was fresh as well!! Probably my favorite part of the meal was the "picnic nachos" which is a pimento cheese dip complete with corn chips. I'm from the south, and I really appreciated the spicy kick to the pimento cheese. It was very indulgent and could be a complete meal on its own - great option to share with friends!!! Thank you! Will definitely be back. read more

i got the turkey pesto. i honestly only liked the bread and nothing else. turkey by itself tastes bad. cheese so so. and I asked if the cold cuts were nitrate free, and they said yes, but I doubt it read more
I finally got the chance to try Bread Head after seeing a special deal on DoorDash. I decided to go with the classic BLT sandwich. I wouldn't say this was the best sandwich or bread I've ever had. The bread was over-toasted and extra crunchy. Personally, I think the bread in a sandwich should have a balance of crunch and softness when you bite into it. As for the ingredients, there was a good balance of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Would I pay almost $20 for this sandwich? Most likely not, since the bread didn't live up to the hype. That said, anyone can go and have a different experience than I did. If you're going to check out Bread Head, I'd recommend ordering something other than the classics. Parking tips: If you're unable to find street parking, you can park at the following lots for free: - Trader Joe's: 1 hour free parking - Target: 2 hours free with validation - Broxton Parking: 2 hours free parking (7am-5pm) read more

The service was super nice ! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. However the sandwiches did not live up to my expectations. I was hoping it would be warmer but the sandwiches were cold. We got the roast beef and tuna salad. The roast beef was a quite bland. The tuna had pickled peppers(?) and I wish I had taken it out, it would have tasted better without the sour addition read more

My daughter and I tried Bread Head in Westwood for the first time and it was such a great find. We were already out in the city for a pedicure appointment and were hungry. My daughter was specifically craving a good sandwich. I yelped "sandwiches" and Bread Head popped up first with solid 4 star reviews so we decided to give it a shot. So glad we did. It's located right on Westwood Blvd and we got lucky with curbside parking directly out front. Inside the place is cute and quaint. Not huge but comfortably sized to seat about 10 to 15 people. It wasn't busy when we walked in but definitely picked up after we ordered which I always take as a good sign. Being near UCLA there's a steady mix of college students and business folks coming through. Jasper took our order and was a really cool guy. Friendly easygoing and welcoming. I ordered the Reuben which is pastrami with Swiss cheese sauerkraut pickled peppers Russian dressing fresh horseradish and everything spice and it was fucking delicious. Every bite hit. My daughter got the tuna salad sandwich and absolutely loved it too. Our favorite part hands down was the bread. Fresh flavorful and clearly made to stand up to the fillings. It really makes the sandwich. In the middle of everything I realized I had forgotten my wallet. I called back shortly before closing and Jasper assured me they would wait since it takes them a bit to clean and close up. My daughter ran in to grab it and he even cracked a hilarious joke that had her laughing when she got back to the car. Great food great service and great humor. I'll definitely be back and next time I'm trying the meatball sandwich. read more

I tried half of the tuna and half of the combo and they were pretty salty. Other than that sandwiches were mid. I got "The World's Best Coffee." It wasn't good. I asked to exchange the coffee and they said they don't do that. Food was okay. Service was not the best. read more
