Calabrian Turkey Sandwich
Benjamin P.

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!

Combo Grinder and turkey pesto sandwhich

Probably the best sandwich I've ever had 10/10 tastes insane love it perfect price worth every dime

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

Combo Grinder

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,

Turkey Pesto

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!!

Menu (11/2025)

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.

Calabrian turkey
Sierra H.

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.

Not a great deal of flavor and the bread should be toasted and crispy. And now the only sell half sandwiches. Not tasty as a year ago.

My only wish was that I wish it had more meat to really balance it out. Service is fast, seating inside is only for 8 sitting and two standing next to the cashier but some outside seating as well. Even though the spot is not huge, it still has enough there for you to feel like you are walking into your local deli to grab a quick bite and carry on with your day. They have a restroom inside too which is a perk. My hubby ordered the rocco and he enjoyed it too, along with an iced tea and some chips, you really don't feel overly stuffed and I can see why it's a hot spot in this prime area.

The sandwiches are **made fresh and to order**, with a great variety of combinations--and the best part is that you can customize and substitute ingredients to your heart's content. And those spreads! They have so many good ones, but I'm especially obsessed with the **truffle and mushroom sauce**. We went with **fresh prosciutto**, which paired beautifully with fresh mozzarella, truffle cream, and a little fresh arugula for that subtle peppery/spicy kick. Everything was piled onto their freshly baked bread, and let's just say this is **not a shy sandwich**. The service was friendly, and I really appreciated that they let you **sample different cold cuts and spreads** if you're not sure what you want or haven't tried something before. No need to commit to a mystery meat and hope for the best. The setting is very casual--more of a deli-style café with counters and small seating areas. Nothing fancy, but honestly, when the sandwich is this good, the bread is doing all the decorating. We're not particularly big eaters, so we split one sandwich in half... and STILL had another half to take home. If you're a big eater, this is one **generously stuffed, fresh-baked sandwich** that could keep your mouth, stomach, and general happiness occupied for the rest of the day. So glad I **accidentally stumbled upon this delicious place**! Sometimes the best food discoveries happen when you have absolutely no idea where you're going.

The La Paradasio was very good but not cheap, again it's BH. They offer a Ugo Spritz for $14 but I don't drink at lunchtime, so I can't say if it's worth that price. Hey, only with fresh mint and lime, ok? They ask for a tip but I don't think there really is any service if you are handing it over the counter to me.

This focaccia-ciabatta pop-up comes from the minds of the now-shuttered Michelin-starred French restaurant Trois Mec. Their mozzarella sandwich drew buzz from the Los Angeles Times even before Bread Head established their first brick-and-mortar location on Montana in 2024. The Santa Monica location is posted up on a boutique-y block of Montana. Outside, metal patio furniture is arranged on a semi-enclosed slatted streatery. Circumferential windows let plenty of light into the industrial-modern space. The left wall is decorated with an eclectic array of vintage posters, funny photographs, and framed accolades. Filamented bulbs hang from the ceiling. The letter board menu is displayed above the ordering counter in the back. Low-key instrumental tunes blend with chatter, while staff members intermittently shout out names for orders. I visited Bread Head for weekend lunch with a few friends, and the line to order was relatively short (it waxed and waned across our visit, occasionally stretching around the restaurant to the door). We squeezed into the last available seats at a communal bar top, and our sandwiches were prepared in about 15 minutes. Broadly, the mound of toppings on each sandwich was precariously perched on Bread Head's thick, poofy, not-overly-oily focaccia. The sauces and spreads were plentiful and generally vibrant, so we didn't end up needing the side of "Club Sauce" (a zingy pepperoncini-horseradish mayo). Our favorite sando was the Muffuletta, sporting an herbaceous and tangy olive tapenade. A close second was the vegetarian-friendly Mozzarella, paired with plentiful alfalfa sprouts and a rich, zingy za'atar sauce. Also solid was the Turkey Pesto with its uber-fresh basil-forward spread. The surprising dud of the lot was the Combo Grinder, which tasted too one-dimensionally like a grocery store hoagie. The sandwiches run about ~$15 each, and a moderate appetite should be able to tackle a whole one. Even our "worst" sandwich was solid; the best ones are crave-worthy meals worth a dedicated drive to the West Side.

The bread was crunchy, arugula fresh, and the pesto mayonnaise was great. However, it almost felt a little....underseasoned? I wish it had a bit more of a punch to it. You do get a good amount of food for what you're paying for, but personally, I'd rather go to All'Antico Vinaio in Venice and get a sandwich that costs a little bit more, but you get more food and a better seasoning. I'd go here again if I was in a pinch, but personally wouldn't try again.
