    Roast Beef
    Dennis Z.

    Their sandwiches are so tasty! I had the roast beef and it was so good. It felt very healthy too. Staff were very nice, service was great. Great open atmosphere, doesn't feel crowded, and nice flow of customers. I'm planning to try their other locations for their breakfast items. Heard those are worth a try :)

    Dark Chocolate Coffee Cookies
    Kylie T.

    I stopped by around 2pm on a Saturday and it was really busy! Nowhere to sit inside and barely any space at the front patio, so I grabbed my food to go. I got the combo and the dark chocolate cookies (originally wanted to try the special chocolate chip, but they were sold out). Ultimately, that ended up being for the best because I'm pretty sure those cookies are the best I've ever had? I was shocked. Might have to come back and sample again for uhh science. The combo sandwich was also delicious--10/10, no notes. Loved everything they put on it too and the bread was SO fresh. Also good to note that when they call your name inside you really need to pay attention. I heard them call one person's name for an order maybe 3-4 times and on the last time, when no one showed up to pick it up, they threw out the sandwich. Probably a food safety issue, but I'd make sure to keep an ear out for your order!

    Turkey Pesto
    Christian ..

    My girl and I got 2 sandwiches she got the Italian and I got the Pesto Turkey. They were both incredibly delicious to say the least! Service was quick, friendly and fast. There's plenty of parking and the shop itself was clean, simple and inviting. Wasn't overly done or any of that it's an awesome sandwich with great people running it.

    This is two whole sandwiches! Only order if you plan on having an entire sandwich as leftovers

    Since I wrote my last review, I've been back for several sandwiches at bread head. They now serve normal sized sandwiches (not "halves" as a normal size) and they're still sooo good. My top two are the Calabrian turkey and the combo grinder, but the Cuban isn't far behind. I wish it was an every day option, but they only offer it on Wednesdays I believe. My friend and I ordered a Calabrian turkey last week to split and it was great! Still perfectly fresh even when ordering from a delivery app. I'm so glad this place exists and I'll keep going back!

    Mozzarella add protein Turkey
    Anush G.

    I tried the Mozzarella sandwich and added turkey. The bread was crispy and thin, mozzarella was juicy, avocados were freshly green, and a generous amount of sprouts. Overall, decent sandwich. My sister got the roast beef sandwich, it was also delicious. Service was quick, we probably waited 10 minutes. Clean environment, and cool art as well. For the two sandwiches it was pricey about $35.

    Thursday special: pastrami sandwich
    Monte L.

    I had the Thursday special which is their pastrami sandwich. This sandwich is fantastic for a few reasons. The first being the pastrami comes from RC Provisions, arguably LAs best meat purveyors. And then the obvious reason: the bread. It's easily one of the better toasted buns you'll get for a sandwich if you like a thin, lightly toasted, perfectly crunchy, flavorful bun. It's kind of like a focaccia (it could very well be) bread, and it is really something special. The toppings and condiments were the perfect compliment to the meat and bread. But know that if you're looking for a mountain of meat like you'd get a Jewish deli when you order a pastrami sandwich, this isn't the spot for that, but the sandwich is still excellent and worth trying. The service is counter service, and it was friendly. The guy was chill and pretty cool which was noticeable even with a brief interaction. And the ambiance is chill, and the seating area and bathroom are both very clean. The prices are sorta fair for Santa Monica, and parking is street only which can be a bit tough but not impossible. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, the vibe of the place, and I'd definitely visit again when in the area.

    New favorite sandwich shop, can't wait to visit their new location on Westwood blvd. Fresh ingredients With an amazing bread. Keep the quality and we will be the regulars.

    Ham & Butter
    Jaime R.

    I tried the Ham & Butter sandwich and left a bit conflicted. The portion felt small for the price, and the salt level was so high it overwhelmed the sandwich. That said, the bread was excellent--light, thin, glazed focaccia that was crispy and perfectly golden. High-quality ingredients and good execution, but the salt and butter completely overpowered the ham. The ambiance was warm and lively, with high-top tables and what one would think is plenty of seating inside (it wasn't--placed was jammed packed), during a busy weekday in a holiday week. It feels crowded when busy. There's outdoor seating, though not helpful when it's raining. The Jimmy Buffett-themed bathroom was a fun surprise--my daughter loved it. Service was quick and the staff were super helpful with recommendations. Great bread, solid quality, friendly service--but the sandwich missed the mark for me due to heavy seasoning and value.

    Picture this: You've just picked up your rental car, made it to the hotel, and now you're starving. You hear there's a restaurant packed neighborhood nearby, so you head over. And what do you spot? The legendary Bread Head. Cue the happy dance. Bread Head isn't just any sandwich spot, they build their masterpieces on thin, glazed focaccia. Yes, you heard that right. Light, crispy, perfectly golden focaccia. And honestly? These might be some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. We ended up sitting with two awesome women, and I mentioned the four sandwiches I couldn't decide between. Their response? "Those are all the best ones." So naturally, I got three of the four. My favorite? The BLT. As a certified BLT lover, this one nailed it. Crunchy lettuce, thick tomato slices, perfectly crispy bacon. It was sandwich perfection. And yes, I grabbed some cookies for the road. Because FOMO is real. The bathroom is also Jimmy Buffet themed which is so awesome.

    The Mozzarella
    Jim R.

    Got the mozzarella, the vegetarian sandwich. I knew sprouts would be included but I didn't expect as much as I got. I'm afraid I'm not a big fan of sprouts. The bread and the sauce though was terrific. Service was solid. Music was good. They offer a stand to get your own water which I always like. Nice spot.

    What I Ordered: -Calabrian Sandwich $15.00 This was my first time at Bread Head, and I had heard it was one of the top sandwich spots in LA. I noticed jars of Duke's Mayonnaise everywhere, a clear sign of Southern influence - I learned the owner used to be a chef in New Orleans. Bread Head makes its own focaccia in-house, and it's the star of the sandwich. It's perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The roast turkey, sourced from RC Provisions, is fresh and high-quality, and I loved the sharp cheddar. The Calabrian Mayo, a blend of Duke's and Calabrian chili paste, has a nice kick. Overall, it was a truly great sandwich.

    Muffaletta
    Jessica T.

    Overall, Bread Head's quality is outstanding, and the sandwiches were extremely flavorful! The only con is the sandwiches were a little pricey, but that's often the case for businesses in LA. I got the Combo Grinder, which I think was the most worth it and the most flavorful, and my partner got the Muffaletta. We ate them fresh and in-store (which I recommend) and you could immediately taste the crunchiness of the focaccia bread. The pepperoncinos gave the Combo Grinder a tasty, but subtle zing and super mild spice. I wish the Muffaletta had another vegetable aside from the olive salad, but it was still solid. Both sandwiches paired excellently with the hot sauce they provide in store, which is why I recommend eating it there. It's not too spicy at all, and gives the sandwich the perfect sweet, spicy aftertaste. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and there was no wait. There was plenty of seating, and the store is on a nice street in Santa Monica. The workers were super helpful, offering us their recommendations!

    $19 Turkey Pesto
    Ashley H.

    Sandwich here is overall tasty! Not sure it's worth $19 though, maybe more like $14.... Inside is bustling, went at 12:30 on a Saturday! Service is quick but nothing amazing in terms of friendliness. There's also outdoor seating too but when it's busy it's crowded.

    All'antico Vinaio is simply the best! This is my second time visiting the chain, but my first time…read moreat this location. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and I especially appreciate Angelica's recommendations. I went with La Toscana ($19.00), featuring Salame Toscano, Pecorino, and truffle honey. The Pecorino offers a salty, sharp flavor that pairs wonderfully with the sweet and savory Salame Toscano and honey. The Pecorino is chopped nicely, providing a satisfying, thick texture. The La Toscana was a truly delicious sandwich. The schiacciata bread is outstanding; its fresh, airy, and soft texture makes for a perfect chewy sandwich with a crunchy exterior that tastes like your favorite pizza crust. It was quite a satisfying sandwich. My favorite is still the Paradiso, but I'd order it again in a pinch. I can't wait to try other sandwiches here in the future. I like an exposed brick and I enjoyed seeing the Florence-inspired decor reminded me of travels to Florence when I was younger.

    I've been wanting to try this place for so long and it was soo good!! The location on third street…read morewasn't my favorite because of the ambiance, but the sandwich was delicious. The inside area was actually a vibe but it was really cold in there so we opted to sit outside instead. (There is a small patio but it wasn't too crowded when we went so worked out well) I got the Paradiso which is apparently the most popular one and i loved it. It had mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream, and pistachio. One of the best parts was the bread - it was so fresh and the perfect consistency but also not too crunchy. Very generous with the meats. The portion size is huge I could only eat half so can definitely be two meals. All of the sauces and spreads looked so good I would love to go back and try other sandwiches or even do the build your own. It was also very fresh they cut the deli meats as they make the sandwiches which I always appreciate!

    Unfortunately I've moved out of LA County so the nearest Mendocino Farms is about an hour away…read morewithout traffic. Which means I've gone years without it :( I happened to be in the area so I suggested Mendocino Farms for dinner. Words can't describe how much I missed this place. I was so happy to see the offer a 1/2 sandwich and side order. It's perfect for me since I don't eat much. We both got that special. I ordered the 1/2 Chicken caprese sandwich with a small side of spicy couscous. My husband got the 1/2 farm sandwich with a small tomato soup. All of the food was perfection. I'm not a fan of lemonade. Im just not a fan of tart or sour if it isn't candy. However, I saw the guava lemonade and it was a no brainer. Another 10/10. Even my husband loved it. You taste the guava more than the lemonade. My husband ordered the Arnold Farmer and said it was just ok. We loved the patio seating. At night, it's a lovely place for a quick, quiet, bite. Highly recommend!

    Great location and usually very fast delivery - high marks there…read more We've had a few issues with hair in food and today there was a bone in the Not So Fried Chicken Sandwich. Not a fun thing to bite into in a sandwich I've easily had at least 30 times. Seems like quality is slipping. Can't even connect when calling it, always get a "call cannot be transferred" message for the last few days. Hoping things turn around - we order from here all the time.
