I stumbled across this sandwich spot as I was walking around Culver City, and was curious about the hype because there were people lining up outside before they even opened. The service was excellent, and the cashier at the counter was very helpful as a first time visitor deciding what I should order. I don't quite remember what I purchased, but it was some sort of roast beef sandwich with arugula, crispy shallots, and romesco on focaccia. The bread is the star of the show here, it was incredibly fresh and fluffy with some flaky salt on top. The other components were also top notch, everything was really well balanced and felt super high quality. They seemed to sell out pretty quickly as we were sitting out front for awhile enjoying our meal, so going early is the best move! read more

I would not have come here if it weren't for yelp. I was looking for focaccia bread in L.A. and this shop said they have it. I see this shop once a week and I always walk into the French pastry shop next door. In the future, I'll stop at both! I got the W.L.F. on focaccia and a bag of salt and vinegar chips. When I got home, I slipped the chips inside of the sandwich and added a drizzle of honey. It was glorious. read more

My first visit, I thought the WLF sandwich was very okay and overly saucy. I have a theory that places that put a lot of sauce are covering up the fact that the food itself is not very good. But after expressing my concerns, Monroe Place was quick to reach out and recommend me another sandwich (Jamón & The Giant Peach) which I enjoyed a lot more! The ingredients were fresh and the ratio of everything was perfect. Although I didn't have the greatest first experience, I love that they did everything they could to make it right. read more

My neighbor has wanted to come here for awhile and we were not disappointed! The ambiance is chill, you can sit (high stool) or stand at the counter and eat inside. There were also a few low tops outside. Staff was patient and informative. Will definitely be back. It's in a cute little strip of shops on Washington. Plenty of free 2-hour parking in the neighborhood. read more

Monroe Place - *The Giving Tree* - Sandwiches Near Me - Culver City, California

Culver City doesn't lack outstanding food and drink options - you just have to ask around, turn to your neighbors and friends, and of course, to those foodies on Yelp who helped me discover Monroe Place. Simple format, solid sandwiches. I stopped by here on a weekday after the lunch rush to check out the latest food offerings. A friendly team member welcomed and informed me that they sold out of ciabatta bread for the day but that everything else was available. After looking over the colorful wall menu, I decided to tap into my hunger (as well as my love for Seinfeld) and go with The Morty. The Morty comes with Pistachio Pesto, Mortadella, Burrata, Cracked Black Pepper, Arugula, Balsamic Glaze normally on Ciabatta but this time, I went with Focaccia. I sat at one of the half dozen bar seats inside and within 5 minutes my order was called. The packaging was your traditional white paper bundle, wrapped and sealed with yellow tape, anxiously awaiting me to tear it open. I conceded my temptations and was delighted to see a wonderfully colorful and inviting sandwich on my plate. The Morty was quite tasty. First of all, the bread was soft, fresh and phenomenal. The Mortadella and Burrata cheese were spectacular. Top notch quality and very rich and satisfying. The Black Pepper added a nice little kick, while the Arugula, Pesto and Balsamic Glaze perfectly complemented the rest of the sandwich with unique flavors and textures. It was a pretty good sized sandwich and priced on average with other competitive shops in the area. A few seats outside, a stocked and clean restroom for customers in the back. Parking is pretty open all along Washington Blvd. with plenty of 2-hour options on any of the side residential streets. The bread is the star here, with a simple menu that delights the senses without breaking the bank. Get there early before they sell out of the bread of your choice and enjoy a tasty Monroe Place sando. read more

Tried out Monroe Place recently and overall, it was a decent experience. We had the Italian Spaniard, Big Bambino, and the Morty--while the first two were fine, nothing really stood out flavor-wise. The Morty was the strongest of the bunch with a good balance and seasoning, but still not quite enough to make a lasting impression. The vibes were nice and the service was solid, but with so many great sandwich spots around, I'm not sure this one makes the repeat list for me. Glad we tried it, but probably won't be rushing back. read more

I've taken a bunch of my coworkers and friends to Monroe Place, and it looks like the word got out because I saw coworkers there my last trip. Monroe is a pretty darn good sandwich. It's definitely an artisan sandwich, I.e.good ingredients, high quality, rather than a regular ol sub. You can tell they take time to think about the pairings- jams and jellies and spreads. Salt fat and acid in all the right proportions. Super flavorful. The bread itself is top notch too. But beware the baguette is the type that'll cut the top of your mouth if you are a hasty eater like myself. My favorites are the Morty (mortadella, pistachio, balsamic, burrata) This is perfect on the ciabatta! The italian spaniard is also good, the nice shallot vinaigrette really packs a punch. I've pretty much stuck to these 2 as my go to sandwiches. read more

What I ordered: - "The giving tree" sandwich A friend of mine highly recommended this place and it did not disappoint! He said to get "the giving tree" sandwich which consists of herb turkey, gruyère cheese, granny smith apple, arugula, and a spicy sauce (consisting of hot sauce and kewpie mayo) on focaccia bread. The focaccia bread was cold, soft, and airy. The textures of this sandwich were magnificent, with the softness of the turkey and cheese with the crunch of the granny smith apples was a nice contrast. The balance of flavors were also impressive. The bitter arugula with savory turkey/gruyère, sweet apple, and subtle spice of the spread (consisting of hot sauce and kewpie mayo) created a delightful bite! read more

Just okay. Very small snack size sandwiches and advertised to use bub and grandmas bread, but it was only used for a small selection of their sandwiches. I was expecting a filling meal but my big bambino sandwich was really small with not a lot of filling either. The bread was also very hard. Not quite worth the price for me but I'm glad to have tried it. read more

We have been wanting to try this place for about a year. We finally did today and now we feel like dopes for wasting so much time. We had the fan favorite, "WLF" at the recommendation of the very friendly staff. It was one of the best sandwiches that we have had in a long time. They use very fresh ingredients on creatively thought out sammies. It was so good we bought the Italian Spaniard to take home and have with wine tonight. We highly recommend. read more

Food was really great! I ate the WLF which is their most popular sandwich, and it is for a reason... it's just so solid, love it. Friend had the matadors wife with avocado and it looked amazing!! Nice people working here and the vibes inside are chill, not too many spots to sit down but good for a quick bite. read more

After refusing to stand in line for the opening of Helm's Bakery, we walked a few minutes down the street to find this smallish sandwich shop that already had a line forming around noon on Saturday. Parking available all over Washington so no issue there. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We decided to split the Italian Spaniard. Compared to many of the newer sandwich shops opening lately, $14 didn't seem all that bad and it was a good size. If I was nitpicking, I would say it needed a tomato or roasted red pepper but we ate the whole thing. Will definitely come back to try others - and especially to try that awesome smelling focacia! read more

I would drive by this place a million times and never see it. However, this place has amazing sandwiches and I would highly recommend it. Fresh ingredients, tasty sandwich combinations will definitely have me coming back to sample what else is there. The space is rather limited for seating so if you want to eat there, it's not for big groups. But if you are there with a couple of people you might be able to find a place to sit. Regardless, if you are nearby you should try it out! read more

The sandwiches are really good! Generous portion and the ingredients are super fresh and healthy. I ordered the Dilly Dally, which had chicken, lemon, pesto, dill, greek yogurt, and lots more. It was really refreshing with the herbs. Only con for me was the focaccia bread was a bit more burnt than what I would have liked, but that's a minor detail overall. I still really enjoed the sandwich. Also got a cucumber mint limeade and turned it into an arnold palmer, it was perfect! The store is more set up for a grab and go, not many places to sit and eat your food. Would definitely come back for a quick bite. read more

People here are super nice. They have drinks in a fridge mostly Olí pop and a couple of classics soda and apple juice. They have homemade drinks as well. The sandwich felt full, bread seemed to be drizzled with olive oil a bit of mustard ask for more love if you like a more balanced flavor. I grabbed a bag of Zapp's. Overall, decent sandwich that is basic with no frills. Meat and arrúgala. Possibly open to give it another go. read more

Not for me as I found the bread for both the WLF and Court Street difficult to bite and chew. The dried shallots were also overpowering. I liked the kick of the horseradish in the Courtstreet, how thinly shaven both meats were, and the flavors but not enough to order from them again. read more

This place was so perfect for a lunch spot!! Service was so friendly and they offered immediately to swap cheeses on one sandwich because my sister didn't like what was on it. Cute inside and there's a bunch of outdoor tables to sit and chat. Would highly recommend! read more

Really a nice surprise for us. We had to give up on the carving board recently due to their inconsistent quality for the high price. Monroe place serves excellent sandwiches and the bread quality is fantastic. I always wish sandwich shops would include a bag of chips with the sandwich, given the high prices... However, Monroe place gets a pass as the quality of the service was great and friendly. The food quality especially the proteins were on point. If there is a negative, it's that the restaurant is quite small. So eating there is a bit of a challenge for busy times. read more

A good sandwich! I was visiting LA and wanted to grab lunch, and this place had great reviews. The staff was very friendly and made the sandwiches quickly.

Small sandwich shop located along that Washington Boulevard stretch of Culver City. The place has great people serving great sandwiches. The prices weren't cheap, but they didn't feel extravagant especially compared to other mid to high-end sandwich shops these days. Since the place is small, there's limited seating on the inside and outside. But it feels like more of a takeout place. I ended up ordering the Big Bambino. It was either between that or the Serenity Now. They were out of focaccia bread for the day so it made up my mind. They said I could've substituted, but I wanted to try the sandwich as intended, so I'll get it next time. The Big Bambino had delicious soppressata, creamy burrata, some hot honey, a good amount of basil, and tomato confit served on a crunchy baguette. The flavors and textures were really balanced. I really enjoyed my sandwich and every bite of it. I came for a late lunch on Friday afternoon. There was a lot of street parking in the area. Most of it is metered. read more

Monroe Place absolutely slaps. In a city littered with other viable options, this place almost reigns supreme. The hours are odd and the pricing is a bit steep for sure. Jackson Market and Lodge Bread are other great options, but if you have the time to visit Monroe Place I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

This Culver City nook is worth a drive from anywhere for artisan sandwiches made with premium local ingredients. Pictured here is the Matador's Daughter stuffed with avocado, manchego, sprouts, and Romanesco spread. It comes on ciabatta, but request it on a Bergerbites favorite, Bub and Grandma's bread. While waiting for your order, slip next door to @cogcoffee, another popular spot in the CC Arts District, for a latte made with the best beans in the city. Highly recommended. read more

My friend and I were recommended the WLF and Serenity Now as their top two sandwiches. Had we only ordered the WLF it would've been a 5 star. The WLF was a perfect sandwich. the sweetness of the berries balanced with the arugula and the fried shallots was just right. I will definitely think about this sandwich and might have to come back from San Diego to eat it again. Unfortunately The Serenity Now was underwhelming compared to the WLF. It's small little counter shop. The staff was super friendly and helpful. read more

It's lucky that there's now a wealth of wonderful sandwiches in Los Angeles, but few spots have sandwiches that are as well curated/crafted as those at Monroe place. Trust them on the bread options. They've done the R + D, and rather than making it in-house, they source their bread from the best bakeries in the city and use just the right ones for the texture you'll want on that particular sandwich. Opting for invention or fusion over traditional takes like Italian subs or a turkey with sprouts, you'll want to come here for sandwiches like the Court Street, which takes familiar flavors of roast beef and horseradish sauce and loads it up with crispy fried shallots that are both umami and sweet and make the whole thing just dance. And the W.L.F., an Iranian inspired take on a turkey sandwich with saffron mayo, barberries, those awesome fried shallots, and pomegranate molasses. That sandwich slaps. All the sandwiches here are good, but I've had most of them, and the ones that do their own spins on classic sandwiches are always the ones I want over and over. Great work, Monroe Place. Come early, they can sell out. And the cardamom tea is *chef's kiss*. read more

New to this area and was introduced to the store. Small, cute, and clean. I tried the Court Street, horseradish creme fraiche, london broil roast beef, crispy shallots, and arugula, on a baguette. Delicious! read more

Super friendly and quick service! The sandwiches are amazing, they use the best bread and ingredients. We tried the Big Bambino and the Giving Tree. The bambino is on a crusty baguette and has a perfect combination of flavors between the burrata and the Calabrese chilies. The giving tree feels light but is stuffed full, the mayo is not too heavy so it's a perfect ratio. The lemonades and iced teas looked great too! Lots of easy street parking @ $1/hr or neighborhood parking read more

I have been twice. I got the Big Bambino and the Court Street. The sandwiches are on the smaller side. Personally I like more meat on my sandwich, especially when it's nearly $20 (including tax). There was a slice or two soppressata. The flavor was there just wish there was more of it. The court street is their take on a roast beef, which was dry. Service was great, friendly! Small shop with good seating around the corner. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood and will go back when I'm the area but won't go out of my way to get like Lorenzo California or Bread Head. There a small changes that could make a difference and put this place on the map. read more

I don't give out 5 stars so easily. I feel like I really really need to be impressed to give out 5 stars. And this place definitely deserves it. Only cons are sandwiches are pretty small and it's pricey but it's delicious!!!!!! I got the Serenity Now and my hubby got the Persimmon says and both were DELICIOUS! So much flavor in each of them! Staff was friendly and the shop is small inside. A few counter tops with limited seating inside. They told us you can use the tables and chairs infront of the coffee shop to sit on as well. If you're in the area, stop by for lunch. You won't be disappointed. read more
