Beef blvd 10/10 Broadway 10/10 I usually order to go since it's limited seating, it's next to a design store where they make custom clothes. Great service and they got small pickles that pair great with the sandwiches. Highly recommend it toasted. Love the high ceilings and has the place with AC. Easily one of the better sandwich places must try Fs read more

tl;dr this Arts District takeout operation serves an approachable swath of sandwiches; the quality and convenience are solid but don't quite match the price When Tommy Ferraro moved from West Virginia to Los Angeles in 2019 to open up Breadlam, he couldn't have predicted the advent of the pandemic. But now this fast-casual sandwich shop is an Arts District fixture, offering takeout sandwiches (each named for a street with emotional significance to Ferraro), as well as catering and charcuterie platters. Breadlam shares a multi-shop building on a busy block of the Arts District. A baby-blue arrow points down toward the glass double doors of the brick storefront. The interior is diminutive and minimalist. Lights shine through the rafters onto the white-plank walls. An industrial meat slicer highlights the kitchen island. Specials are written onto a wall-mounted butcher paper roller. Japanese-language pop spills over from the boutique next door. A handful of trim patio tables are set up outside. My fiancee and I visited for weekend lunch. Ordering online was a breeze, and our food was prepared within 10 minutes. We both preferred the 43rd Ave Sandwich (not on the official menu, but available through the Square site). The rich combination of prosciutto, goat cheese, and fig jam felt straight off a charcuterie board. We were less impressed by the Beef Blvd Sandwich, a mostly standard roast beef sando somewhat elevated by spicy mayo. On both sandwiches, the soft ciabatta was a not-too-overwhelming complement to the fresh ingredients. Our bill totaled about $30, the sandwiches were good-not-great, and the portions were reasonably filling. Ultimately, my major criticism was that the sandwiches felt like something I could craft at home. Broadly, I would be more than happy to have someone else buy me Breadlam, but I wouldn't go out of my way to dine there again. read more

I'm not really a sandwich person but Breadlam's Vincent sandwich blew me away. It's moist without being sopping wet. It's spicy from the pepper jam, salty and pungent from the Parmesan, and sharp from the mustard. The onions and greens add a touch of freshness so it's not too rich. A phenomenal sandwich that I thought about for days and told all my friends about. I was so impressed by the Vincent that I went back to try the Townsend. While I wasn't as big of a fan of the Townsend (a bit too heavy for me and the pastrami could've been brinier), I appreciated the creative mix of flavors and know I'll be back to Breadlam to try more sandwiches. read more

I had the roast beef on ciabatta. It was delicious. Instead of the mayo, I ordered it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. With a thick slice of fresh mozzarella, and some very fresh greens, the chemistry of his sandwich was very satisfying. read more

Breadlam - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best sandwich place in Arts District! Everything is always fresh and delicious. My favorite sandwich is Vincent Ave. I'm allergic to dairy so I always sub cheese for avocado. It's a pretty hefty sandwich but I always manage to finish it all by myself. The ciabatta bread is soo soft and the sweet and sour from balsamic pairs SO well with the various meats. It's heavenly. I'm sad that I can't enjoy this for a while because I'm pregnant. It's the one food item that's always in the back of my mind. The owners and employees are so nice. They are dog friendly and will give your dog a piece of ham/turkey. My dog is always urging me to go visit them on our walk!! read more

Good sandwiches for a decent price! I came here on a hot day with some friends and got the Vincent Ave. I love cold Italian sandwiches and this hit the spot! It's a small little shop and there was construction outside of it, so it was a little hard to find. There was no seating when we were there, but later found out they brought some chairs and tables out after we left. I'd come back if I was in the area and wanted a quick meal! read more

First time trying Breadlam and it was fantastic. The ingredients are all very fresh including the bread. I ordered a vegan sandwich with hummus/chickpeas. It was very flavorful and tasty. Customer service was great. We were greeted once we entered. I was also told what sandwich the vegan customers like the most. The restaurant has outside seating and street parking. I will definitely be back. read more

Been coming here for years now--it's my favorite place to grab a sandwich in Arts District. Great options, fresh ingredients, and always have to get a bag of the black truffle chips to go with it. My personal faves are the Ironwood and 43rd Ave! Not a ton of seating available outside, but great for picking up before heading to LA State Historic Park and having a little picnic. read more

I had the Duality of Ham, the special, and it was absolute delicious. Exceeded my expectations. Definitely something I'd order again!

Quick service and fresh ingredients with a good variety in the menu. They also have a few daily specials as well. Ordered the Raymond, which is a Turkey sandwich on ciabatta bread - the bread was very soft and the sandwich good. Seating available is both indoors and along the sidewalk. Street parking is always a chore in the Arts District unfortunately. read more

Every sandwich is so unique and delicious! I ordered the Ironwood as a salad and it was filling and satisfying! My friend loved her beef sandwich on ciabatta. The workers are SO kind and friendly, and Breadlam is a simple, clean and great option for sandwich or salad. They also offer "specials of the day" with options for meat lovers and vegetarians! read more

the workers were so patient and helpful when it came to menu changes and questions, it does get a bit busy on weekdays during lunch it seems to be a popular shop but i didn't mind the wait. you can tell their ingredients and sandwich are made with care. def will be frequenting read more

I live close by and never knew that this was located here since it closes at 4PM. I'm sure I'm not the only one that missed it walking by! Their menu is not extensive, and I was recommended to try the 5th Avenue which comes with prosciutto. You get to choose the bread to go with (ciabatta, baguette, multigrain). I went with the ciabatta, and it was okay. I wish they had toasted the bread, or at least offered the option. The prosciutto was not bad, but I wish there was more of it or a bit less on the other toppings to not overpower the prosciutto taste. Wasn't a fan of the Raymond... Turkey tends to be on the dry side, so that was on me for ordering it. The roasted tomatoes were very nice though. The sandwiches do come with pickles on the side! Parking is tough in the area. Good luck with street parking, paid lots is probably the best way to go. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday. Service was quick and the guy helping us was great. Got the York and Colorado. There are places to sit inside and outside the sandwich shop and the ambiance is simple yet quirky/cute. Both sandwiches tasted super fresh with crunchy/soft bread. The only negative is that I felt like the York was way too saucy, making the sauce overpower all the other ingredients. read more

Does Breadlam allow doggos? Yes, they have a small but cute outdoor area. I remember Breadlam's early days in 2019 when it was a one-man show led by Tommy, the owner. I'm thrilled to see the place not only survive the pandemic but thrive. Tommy's remarkable creations and welcoming attitude truly deserve the success. The consistent quality and flavor since its opening make it my favorite neighborhood sandwich shop. My personal favorites are: Raymond, Cabrillo, and Mt. Vernon. The airy ciabatta and all the ingredients make for a delightful combination. I love the simplicity of all of their sandwiches. I also enjoy trying their daily specials, such as Winter in Paris. You can turn any of their sandwiches into a salad. They also make charcuterie boards. They used to only have outdoor seating in front of the shop. Now they have expanded and have tables indoor, as well. Overall, I highly recommend Breadlam for a quick bite or casual eats. read more

This is my first time eating here. I love a good sandwich. This sandwich was... fine. I'm not a fan of chewy bread. If you are, that's fine. That's not my thing. I ordered The Ridge which contains ROASTED TURKEY, AGED CHEDDAR, AVOCADO, OLIVE OIL, GREENS. Also comes with a side of those small cornichons. Overall, the sandwich was okay. The cheddar was way overpowering and couldn't really taste the turkey which didn't really have much flavor in the first place. Guac is guac, but it also causes the sandwich to become a slippery mess. One bite and the inside spills out the back as is common. Again, the bread, while it was delicious, is also chewy which is a big turnoff on deli sandwiches for me. Could have been better. Maybe I tried the wrong thing, but this didn't work out for me. read more

This sandwich place is unreal. It took me by surprise how amazing their sandwiches are. The ingredients are high quality and fresh. The combination of ingredients is carefully created and tastes amazing! I can't compare it to any other sandwich spot because it doesn't compare. I tried the 5h Avenue sandwich and the Raymond sandwich. Both were served on fresh soft chibatta bread. Both sandwiches had amazing flavor! I would get either of them again. The 5th Avenue sandwich had awesome basil flavor with a thick piece of aged Gouda cheese. All sandwiches are $12. They sell until sold out so you have to get there earlier in the day before they are gone. I loved these sandwiches so much! I look forward to visiting Breadlam again! read more

This is a small little sandwich restaurant in the arts district. They have great sandwich options including vegetarian. They make the sandwich bread in house (ciabatta). They give you small pickles (Gherkins) which are very tasty. They told me they do run out of bread so they close down when they do. So I recommend to show up early or you will miss out. Good thing is they are open 7 days a week. read more

Recently I have been coming here like almost once a week. Their meat and bread quality is good. And the portion is big. These sandwiches will definitely fill you up. My favorite Sandwich is Geary. It has truffle mousse pate and prosciutto. The mousse was smooth and not heavy. Prosciutto was not too salty . My second choice of sandwich is the Raymond. It comes with Roasted Turkey. The Turkey was good, moist not dry. It also has tomato mayo and roasted tomato which level up the deliciousness very well. I'm a healthier bread fan. So I always get my sandwich with multi grain bread. It's texture is good..soft and bouncy. There are special sandwiches of the day. If you wanna be special, check the special menu before order. It is always special yummy. Employees/owner are so nice and friendly. Good service even though it is self service! You can order thru their website and come pick it up. This place is really a small pick up place and they have about 3 or 4 tables outside to sit....so don't bring a giant party here...lol. Giant order for take out is fine...haha Oh...I saw some people comparing this place to Bread Lounge. Honestly, they're different. Of course , it's a given Bread Lounge will have stellar bread....and they do!! But their sandwiches have been a little inconsistent lately...and I'm liking Breadlam better ....at any rate...why not have 2 choices for good sandwiches..no need to pick just one. Street Parking only.. any credit card accepted! read more

Basic plus would be my rating. That means maybe I'll eat there again but I'm not dreaming of my next sandwich coming from there. Maybe the week I went was a off week with the sandwich options. But moving on read more

I've had many tuna sandwiches in my day. I'd consider myself a connoisseur even. When I say this has been one of my favorite tuna sandwiches, I am committing to the truth of that, and am willing to die on this hill. Please eat this sandwich. Please. The wasabi mayo is so good. read more

It was so fresh and light. I will be definitely coming back. Great place if you are just looking for something lite and simple. read more

Breadlam has some great sandwiches in the arts district in DTLA. The bread for the sandwiches is fantastic and probably my favorite part of the whole sandwich. It's a small spot with some outdoor seating.

I wanted to like Breadlam way more, but compared to Bread Lounge (which is my new current favorite place), I thought that Breadlam was just average. I actually initially wanted to go to Breadlam, but they do have limited hours and that's when I discovered Bread Lounge. I finally was able to make it on time during a random Sunday afternoon. I have been craving a prosciutto sandwich, so I opted for the 5th Ave. The employee that was working there was super nice. I ordered and was in and out in about 5 minutes. I thought that the sandwich was just OK. The roasted tomato was a little overpowering and made the sandwich a little too salty for me (and I LOVE salty things). The bread was pretty good though (I got mine on a ciabatta). I also have to say for what I got, I thought the sandwich was a little pricey. With Bread Lounge so close to Breadlam and with longer hours, I am not sure if I will come back to Breadlam. For anyone that does go here, some logistics. There is no parking here, so you will have to find street parking (which is pretty horrendous). I actually just parking in a loading zone and since I was in and out in less than 10 minutes, I was OK. There is also limited seating outside for those that do want to eat there. read more

Visited Breadlam while friends and I were in the Art's district. Overall, I think they have fun sandwiches named after cities and famous locations. Their ingredients tasted fresh and were delicious. I got the salad version because Breadlam ran out of bread! Just my luck - the staff told me they only received half their order for the day. I enjoyed my 5th ave salad. There was a good amount of prosciutto and olives. I think the prices are a little steep for what it is and for not being a "dine in" experience - but being in the location, I understand. read more

We stopped here while we were passing through downtown LA during lunch time. It's in a really nice, clean area (the arts district), and I stress that because unfortunately many areas of downtown are not. We decided on this place after searching through yelp because my husband loves a good italian sandwich and the photo they had of theirs looked delicious. I'm also watching my calories so I liked that they had the option of having every sandwich as a salad. So hubby ordered the italian sandwich and I ordered the tuna salad, which was served with a very generous portion of mixed greens and avocado. Both items were generously portioned and tasted very good. The service was also quick considering it's a small place with only two people working that afternoon. We would definitely stop here again if we were in the area. read more

Just moved into the neighborhood not too long ago and usually have Sammie's for lunch. Our go-to before was subway - yes, i said subway bc we literally lived across the street from one and it was the only place walking distance to get sandwiches from. Well. After moving to arts district and Yelp reviews, found Breadlam. Their sandwiches are SO GOOD! very comparable to Larchmont wine & cheese (a local FAV)! 2nd time here and got the Raymond and it was delicious. Definitely my go-to spot for weekly Sammie's. They even have an assortment (small) of New York seltzers (iykyk). read more

Breadlam - Raymond. New York Seltzer and Torres Black Truffle chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Is bread a hidden gem? Well it should be at Breadlam... This amazing shiny local biz is one of my new favs and not just because the food is excellent, but because of the layout and killer service as well. Amazing safety and health practices and a well spaced out inviting and shady patio area out front for dinning. B-Lam is doing it right! They have so many great bread covered foodie options... Being a sandwich joint and all. A solid vegan option or two actually, with the options of customizing any sandwich to your wants and needs. Plenty of chips, snacks and beverages (like seltzer, water, kombucha and many others) to pair with your meal. That Masonic of there's is Supersuponic! Cibatta, Avocado, Peppadews, Balsamic, Greens, Olive Oil, Tomato and a melting of flavors I'm still tasting days later.... I'm eyeing the Valencia for next time! This perfect lunch spot can carry over to an early dinner or even a savory meal to store in the fridge for the next day,... Though the food is so fresh you'll want to enjoy it immediately... Especially with beyond quality sandwiches at a very reasonable price compared to other places in the area and in LA. Parking can be an adventure, but even if you don't nab anything close the area is so scenic and inviting, you definitely won't mind... Especially not for Breadlam! read more

We came in recently for lunch and our taste buds were left satisfied! Breadlam is a little gourmet sandwich shop in the heart of Art District in DTLA. I ordered the Raymond and my hubby got the Beef Blvd. I fully enjoyed my Raymond and it was the perfect size! I hate messy sandwiches and the Raymond was perfect. It has roasted turkey, comte cheese, mustard, tomato mayo and lotsa fresh greens! The two best part of the sandwich to me was the comte cheese and the ciabatta bread! The bread was soft pillow like, and it was my first time tasting delicious comte cheese! The comte is semi-hard, and salty sweet at the same time. And if you are thirsty, there are plenty of choices for drinks! I was actually a bit overwhelmed with all the choices but I decided to try the can of Olipop and hubby got the bottle of orange cream soda. Covid safety was in place, all workers wore masks and only one customer inside at a time. There are complimentary 4 hour street parking around or meters within the arts district. A few small tables outside for dining however we took our sandwiches to-go. Here at Breadlam there is no uproar or confusion, just deliciousness and healthy sandwiches. read more

Wow this sandwich really hit the spot on a hot day. I got the 5th Ave. Its super refreshing and light and made me feel somewhat healthy haha. Loved the combo of prosciutto, the sun-dried tomato flavor, light oil dressing, and the cheese. Literally felt like a gourmet charcuterie board inside some fresh bread. Paired with the bottled Diet Coke this sandwich was just the perfect quick easy Saturday lunch. There's a few more things I want to try so I will be back! read more

I've been coming here since pretty much the day it opened (4 years ago maybe?); not sure why I took so long to leave a review.....this place is outstanding! I'm a big-time sandwich eater and this place is right at the top of my SoCal sandwich list! All of the meats and cheeeses used are top-notch and the bread is excellent (and they add some interesting & tasty ingredients to the sandwiches as well). It's hard to find a deli/sandwich shop which has great roast beef but the roast beef here is great. I highly recommend the turkey and ham sandwiches as well. I've placed some big orders for lunch events at my office and all of my workmates loved the sandwiches as well! read more

Oooohhh Breadlam.... don't even get me started. I've been going here for a few months now every time I'm craving a sandwich. The other sandwich shops in LA don't even compare (except Bay Cities, but that's a different kind of sandwich I feel). I have tried many sandwiches from here and every single one of them has exceeded expectations. Breadlam has a special superpower of knowing what ingredients will be good together and then putting them into scrumptious sandwiches. Before getting into my specific sandwich reviews, let me just say that the service is impeccable too. The staff and owners are so kind and really truly just want to share the sandwich love! The food: my personal recommendation is to try to go with a friend so that you can get two sandwiches and try to because they are truly that good and you need to try them all. 5th Ave: One of my favorite sandwiches from here. The prosciutto and cheese ( I'm not sure which cheese) pairing is to die for, as well as the spread. It goes perfectly together and is so salty and savory, in the best way possible Raymond: This is a classic. It's turkey with a delicious cheese and the mustard and tomato mayo spread seriously gives it the most delicious taste. Love it Ploughman: I didn't even know I wanted a vegetarian sandwich until I had this one. Now I know it's all I need in life. The items that set this sandwich apart are the very thinly sliced cucumbers and the jelly spread on the bread. So fresh and tasty They also have daily flavors which always look very good. I haven't tried any yet because I always go back to my favorites, but I'll try and try them soon because they look delicious read more

I decided to stop by Breadlam for a quick lunch after walking around the Arts District area. It's a small and cute sandwich shop right across from the Salt and Straw. They provided seatings area outdoor so I was able to enjoy my sandwich along with the nice spring breeze. I really liked how they posted a big menu outdoor along with detailed descriptions of each sandwich. This menu was what initially captured my eye and made me decide to come. I ordered 5th Ave sandwich that was a perfect blend of prosciutto ham, roasted tomatoes, cheese, basil&greens. The flavors were so rich and made me feel like i was enjoying pasta on my sandwich. The bread was made crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I really appreciated how the size was adequate instead of overwhelmingly big so I was able to finish everything in 1 sitting. Parking could be challenging, but highly recommend to find street parking since it's cheaper. I will definitely return to try their Ironwood next!! read more
