It's the perfect spot to visit before any get together. Whether you're hosting a cocktail hour or football with the boys, Olives has you covered for every occasion. I can spend hours exploring their tight shelves of Italian goodies. Their offerings include unique beverages, homemade meals, baked goods, sauces, seasoning, dessert, cheese, meats, etc. It would be the ideal place to visit if you were building out a scrumptious cheese board! I especially love their sandwich bar. Everything is fresh and made to order. The selection is large, so you'll need to return to explore it all. Highly recommend the Naples panini and the turkey and brie.

It's fun to shop around while you wait for your sandwiches to be prepared. Ordering can be done online. We went on a Saturday around noonish and they line was 4-5 people deep. Definitely order ahead if you're short on time. Food: I ordered the Naples sandwich. It has Oven roasted turkey, provolone cheese, herb aioli, bacon, tomato, arugula on focaccia. Super delicious and decent size. The menu has plenty of sandwiches to choose from. I would recommend this one, but would try another one because why not? Service/Ambiance: The service is quick and all of the staff is friendly. I would recommend Olives Gourmet Grocer. It is a perfect place to go to if you're going to the beach or having a picnic.

La Bodega is a neighborhood hispanic grocery store chain with locations throughout Southern CA…read more They carry all sorts of goods and products including produce, a meat market and much more. This location is on Anaheim street in Long Beach in a neighborhood that has been up and coming. It is one of their smallest locations. There is a tiny parking lot and limited street parking. There are no thrills and it is out of my way. But what i go there for, is their delicious grilled chicken. It is sort of a secret that i have been, in a selfish way, reluctant to share for a long time. They have a charcoal fired grilled chicken station setup in their parking lot and only on weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) from about 9am to 6pm. If you happen to be driving by and didn't know about them. The smell alone would make you hungry and draw you in. They cook their chicken on coals. The rub that they use is so incredibly tasty. The whole chicken is only $15. It comes with a good amount of tortillas and a house made pico de gallo salsa. It is some of the best street food grilled chicken I've ever had. Ever since i discovered this hidden gem a few years ago, I've been going there just about every weekend to get my chicken fix. Great prices, friendly service. amazing grilled chicken. It is a must have in your arsenal. I highly recommend it.
