Tried Breadhead and WOW... I'm still thinking about that sandwich…read more I ordered the Chicken Parm and let me tell you, it was AMAZING. I love a good hot sandwich, and this one might be one of the best I've had. The marinara tasted super fresh and just pulled everything together perfectly. Also grabbed a lemonade and it tasted like it was freshly made. So refreshing and the perfect pairing. Parking isn't the easiest (meter only), but that's pretty expected being so close to the beach. Definitely worth it though! If you're a sandwich lover like me, this spot is a must try

First time trying their sandwiches, they are yummy!…read more the turkey pesto was my favorite. all of the sandwiches had a lot of meat, the turkey pesto also had a lot of avocado! the muffaletta was my least favorite just because i am not big on olives i liked how they gave us a side of marinara sauce to dip the chicken parm sandwich in! the only thing that was not very good was that we tried to order on doordash but it said the restaurant was closed (this was around 1pm) and we called and the lady said we could only order in the restaurant. eventually we waited a little and was able to order online. but overall sandwiches were good portions and i would go again if i am in the area

I was really surprised to stumble upon this big, spacious local bodega/grocery store just a block…read moreor two from the beach. It's unexpectedly large for a place by the shore, and I was thrilled because even though I checked Yelp and Google, I couldn't find much info. They're open super early and stay open late, and it's just such a gem especially since that area tends to shift toward restaurants or other businesses. This neighborhood really needed a good grocery store, and they have everything: fresh meat, drinks, snacks, fruits just like a full local grocery. The staff was really nice and laid-back, though the only downside is that parking is super limited and intersection it's tough to get in and out since it's near a small with a red light. Still, I'm really glad it's there, and I want to give a big shout-out to the local folks to support this place. The prices are really reasonable, and we need to keep these local businesses thriving. they're the heart of the community. I gave them five stars. I just hope they can clean it up a bit inside, maybe freshen up the shelves or ceiling. But overall, I'm so happy it's here, and we need more of these places in our city.

Stopped by The Green Store in Hermosa Beach and had the Reuben sandwich with pastrami, and wow…read more.. this one deserves the hype. The pastrami was stacked, perfectly seasoned, and super tender. The bread was toasted just right, the sauerkraut had great balance, and everything came together exactly how a classic Reuben should. You can tell they care about quality here--fresh ingredients, generous portions, and consistent flavor in every bite. The vibe is laid-back, service is friendly, and it's the kind of local spot you end up craving again a few days later. If you're in Hermosa Beach and looking for a great sandwich, especially a Reuben with pastrami, The Green Store is a must. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu.

She went above and beyond in every possible way, helping us think through menu recommendations, accommodating an early pickup so everything would be ready for our girl's special day, and even proactively adding thoughtful presentation touches that we didn't ask for but truly made the day feel extra special. As first time parents planning our first birthday, that meant everything :) And the food is unreal. Always fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. A great assortment of sandwiches and sides made with fresh bread, top-quality meat and veggies (*Side note: They have the best Italian sub in the South Bay. No contest.) If you're considering this place for catering or just grabbing a sandwich on the way to the beach, don't hesitate. A true South Bay gem with outstanding food, great people, and thoughtful service every time.

Food: I had regular sized Phoenix chicken sandwich. The shaved chicken with the Phoenix sauce was very good and the meat, cheese, topping ratio was well done. The bread is a massive plus as Dutch Crunch bread is awesome for sandwiches since you can stack a Sando and not dislocate your jaw biting into it as the bread is not overly hard to eat. it was a good solid sandwich. Service: Great order counter service which the team member was friendly and helpful. Great preparation of the sando by the team. Ambiance: Very clean, well decorated restaurant that is well laid out.

Sandwiches have really gone downhill. I've been going to Granny's since I was a kid, and this is…read morenot the experience it used to be. They consistently forget major components like condiments or vegetables that are clearly listed in the sandwich description. Lately I've had to remind them or ask for extras just to get what is supposed to come standard. Today it happened again. I asked for oil and vinegar and received a dry, inedible sandwich. When I called to explain that this has happened multiple times, the person I spoke with essentially called me a liar, insisting it had been added, despite the fact that there was no oil on any of the wrappers. When I asked how they planned to make it right, especially given the astronomical prices they charge for sandwiches, I was told they might give me extra oil and vinegar next time and possibly a bag of chips. Nice customer service. Great idea to throw digs at loyal customers. Super smart. The new ownership the past few years is disappointing. It's unfortunate because we live just a few blocks away and come here often. When I order something, I expect to receive what I ordered and I certainly do not expect to be talked down to when there is a mistake on the deli's part. We have spent so much money there over the years but no more. PS they are always super pushy with asking for a tip when you pick up your sandwich too and most of the staff become irritated when you press the "no button" and give you a weird attitude....talk about an environment that's the opposite of your friendly neighborhood grocery store. They should be called greedy's not granny's!

There's a variety of snacks you can get in store and they also sell grab n go sizes of their pastas And there's also a cute lil fish tank inside

Mickey's Italian Delicatessen & Liquor Store is a long-standing deli that was established in 1953…read more The deli serves New York-style Italian deli items (sandwiches and pizza slices) and recently opened a new secondary location in Redondo Beach. The ocean view is less than a block away. [Parking]: Paid street metered parking only and it may require circling around during busy weekends. [Ordering]: Customers place their orders at the counter and there's a pickup window just outside of the liquor store. The cashier said it takes about 15 minutes to prepare my order. There are no indoor tables, but there are couple of outdoor tables in the pickup window area. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items include Chicken Parm and Reg Hermosa Chicken Deluxe. The recommended sandwiches per the menu are Chicken Parm, Italian Combo, Meatball, Mickey's Combo, Sauce & Cheese, and Turkey. They also sell pizza slices, salads, deli items, hot dishes, and dinners. *** Large Chicken Parmigiano (Breaded Chicken, Marinara Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese and Parmesan Cheese, French roll - $17.50): Crunchy French roll and the portion was large enough to split into two meals. Flavor profile was alright and nothing too exciting. *** It's an a-ok grab-and-go deli shop, but I wouldn't drive out of the way for sandwiches with other better Italian deli shops in LA.

UPDATE: I WAS…read moreWRONG. THE FLAT WHITE IS NOT GREAT. IT IS AVERAGE NOW. Also... I stopped coming here a lot just because the friendliness feels like a big hit or miss. Not sure what it is or if its me personally for whatever reason, but, despite being super friendly 100% of the time, the owner just acts kind of rude and unfriendly to me for literally no reason at all. I promise I don't smell bad and I brush my teeth before I come. I smell really good. I promise! I think the owner is probably on some hipster nonsense bs energy. Cool man...yeah man... It's a shame because its literally the owner who is the rude one in my experience, not any of his staff. His staff never gives me any of his same stinky vibes. P.U. dude... Sorry, but I don't need to feel tension or your bad energy when I'm paying you like $7 for a flat white that takes you 30 seconds to make for me. Sorry to be such a big bother for asking about some of your food items to see if they are vegan so I could possibly pay you more money to buy a food product from you. SORRY FOR TRYING TO SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS BY GIVING YOU BUSINESS WITH MY MONEY!!! SORRY!!! Okay?!! :( When you started rolling your eyes or exhaling that passive aggressive breath out because I was such a bother to you, it was in that moment, yesterday morning, that I left Gitana knowing that I wouldn't come back. From now on, I'll go buy the $7 flat white at Caffe Luxxe in MB located the exact same distance from my place. They do not have delicious food like you do, but they also don't have any of your attitude. Positive attitude to your friendly customers is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than sticking to your pretentiousness and icky, terrible vibes. Sorry if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to be Oscar the Grouch to me while I was Elmo. Elmo sad now. Elmo REAL SAD. :( :( :( Caffe Luxxe it is because, even though I kind of like your café better, I like being treated with respect WAY MORE than I will ever like your coffee. It is what it is...

We opted to sit outside rather than inside, and it was nice. SERVICE Best part of the brunch! We were greeted warmly by both server and manager. They offered recommendations and both checked up on us throughout our meal. FOOD Everything was 3/5 Thick cut bacon - served with jam and shishito peppers. It was indeed thick and visually appealing, however, it was soo dry I had to saw through it with a knife. Breakfast bowl - pretty basic brunch bowl, good portion of brisket.
