    My husband just got out of surgery and is pretty hungry craving grilled cheese and tomato soup. Board and Brew is on the way home so I called ahead and the order was ready pretty much as soon as I finished paying. It was a very convenient process. The restaurant looked clean and the employees were very friendly and kind. There are a few televisions around showing sports. I'll definitely stop by for lunch.

    BAJA CHICKEN

    I love the sandwiches here. Today I tried the Baja chicken sandwich for the first time. It was a great combination of flavors and the bread is always soft and delicious. The staff here was also very friendly and helpful

    What a great spot with outdoor seating, indoor/outdoor bar seating, friendly service, and delicious sandwiches! The team here is so friendly and they even had someone walking around to check in. Definitely not used to that type of service at pay before / quick serve restaurant. My fave is the California delight! My husband likes to switch it up between the chicken club and beef dip. The sandwiches are massive and such a great deal! Have ordered from Board and Brew pickup/delivery many times and the food is always solid but my recent experience with their outdoor area will have me back in again!

    Love this place Give me a great review If you need a strong, broadly applicable positive review, you could use: Absolutely outstanding experience! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The quality, professionalism, and attention to detail were exceptional. Communication was clear, the service was prompt, and the results were even better than I had hoped for. It's rare to find a business that consistently delivers this level of excellence. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliability, value, and top-notch customer service. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Open daily 10-8ish Outdoor seating available Live music every Saturday 530-8 Another location in Laguna Niguel North Relaxed surfy beachy vibe with loud music Order, get a number and they bring the food to your table Ordered cheese quesadilla which is a spinach wrap with melted cheese, Italian sub (salami ham turkey Swiss cheese banana peppers thinly shaved lettuce tomatoes mustard Italian dressing on French baguette) and left coast pastrami (hot pastrami Swiss cheese grilled onions banana peppers Dijon mustard on French baguette). Their French baguette is not crunchy but more like a soft dinner roll. I like how the onions are shaved thin. Served on a black plastic basket covered with a piece of paper. No to go boxes but you can get aluminum foil and paper bags by the fountain area. Got sides of secret sauce with every order which tastes very sweet and a bit sour. Not a fan. Self serve fountain drink area. Bar seating with bartender on the right of the restaurant with varieties of beer. Tried the Altamont beer. Can also order food at the bar. Catering available.

    I love this place very much because the sandwiches here are super fresh, savory flavorful, and delicious. Also, the chips were super crunchy, tasty, and crispy. The lemonade was really sweet and refreshing too. Good service, nice music with a good atmosphere, and I enjoyed my visit today.

    Baja Beef Sandwich
    Mark T.

    As a real fan of B & B it pains me to give 3 stars to this location. I've both dined in and ordered take out from this location a few times since it opened. Sadly my experience 80% of the time wasn't the same as their other locations I've frequented. The Baja Beef sandwich (my usual) here is always overcooked and dry, and the meat is skimpy compared to other locations. The Cobb salad is not as fresh and yummy as other locations. The eating area is not as well kept. The employees are ok, but definitely they are not as friendly as I've experienced elsewhere. I will continue to frequent B & B, I will just avoid this location. The RSM & Laguna Niguel locations are much better with food and atmosphere.

    Sauce
    Scott M.

    I like this location better than the others... has a more laid back vibe to it. The bomb sauce is a must for almost every sandwich as it enhances the sandwiches. If you are clever you put it on your side order of potato salad and it's a WOW!

    Ask the Community - Board & Brew

    What does the special sauce taste like? Is it similar to a spicy Mayo?

    It doesn't have any spice at all. The flavor is more tangy than anything else. Similar to maybe Catalina Dressing.

It's just because I don't know what it means to practice financial discernment when it comes to fresh bread. And welllllll, look at who's back at Brio Brio Bakery & Cafe again...... I used to come here way more often back when I had recurring appointments in the area, but these days I rarely ever find myself in South OC. Tonight, however, I had a last minute opportunity fall into my lap when I was invited off the wait list to attend a Yelp Elite event at Onyx Golf. Naturally, I had to make an "unnecessary" bakery detour before moseying my way over to the actual main event. Listen -- you have your priorities and I have mine. We listen and we don't (critically) judge! Upon arriving to my old stomping grounds, I immediately went for my usual: the hojicha Basque cheesecake. Some things don't need to be reinvented. It's still rich and creamy as ever, and it's basically the reason I still come back to this place. Since I don't get down here as often anymore, I figured I'd live life a little more frivolously and grab some items I haven't tried before, such as their prime beef curry, kurobuta miso sausage, honey toast, and a GF brownie. My plan for a sweet treat quickly evolved into a larger commitment of carbohydrates, but honestly, I'd like to think of these items as a gift from past me to future me. Brio Brio is also running a promo right now where you get a free cookie with purchase during certain hours. I just want to be fully transparent that I don't remember what those hours are or how long the promo is running, just that it's a weekday ordeal. I know, incredibly insufferable Yelp Elite reporting on my part. You'll simply just have to go in and ask them about it or look for the signage near the register, and then purchase that item you need to qualify for the deal to begin with. Consider my review a very detailed advertisement about a potentially complimentary cookie that idk how to explain the sourcing means for. Lmao, my bad, y'all. Either way, it was refreshing to visit again after all these years. If you're stopping by Brio Brio, you really need to get the hojicha Basque cheesecake. That's singlehandedly the menu item I'll keep coming back for, even when it means I'll be suffering in rush hour traffic on the drive back home.

It came with hummus AND a fresh salad AND a side of fresh baked in-house bread. I had to do a double take. You can also order the bread on its own as a standalone item, which is a genuinely unique touch. I cant name one other casual place that bakes their own bread. Show up Monday, Wednesday, or Friday and you can take advantage of their buy one get one 50% special too. I haven't tried their sandwiches yet but I highly reccommend the plates, and given how fresh everything was, I'm already planning my return visit!

We had 22 half sandwiches, 1 large pesto pasta salad, and 1 large avocado quinoa ensalada (life changing!), then on the morning of, I woke up worried it wasn't enough food so I called as soon as they opened to see if it was possible to add an order of the cocktail caprese sandwiches. Jennifer took my call and cheerfully made it happen. Phew! Our friends RAVED about the food the entire night and a couple even texted later about how good everything was. I thought the default sandwich variety in the ordering portal was very good, though I adjusted to have two extra veggie sandwiches. I also appreciated how they were very well-labeled within the boxes. The caprese cocktail sandwiches didn't have enough filling ratio for the thickness of the bun - it was a mouthful of bread with a little bit of cheese and tomato. They were the only thing that weren't really a hit, but everything else was phenomenally good! The quantity of the large size sides were incredible - our friends were eating from them all night, going back for seconds and thirds, and we still had lots of leftovers for the next day.

It felt light yet satisfying, never heavy on the palate, and I was able to get right back to work without the usual post-meal sluggishness. A super solid healthy lunch choice. I'm a fan!

I reached out to them and they let me know that they deliver right after they cook the food so it shouldn't be cold. Give them a try if you are looking for a meal prep service. You can do weekly plans which brings the price down a bit but you also can just order when you need or want it, no contract. Their pricing is also really good compared to other places I have tried.

I got there just as the order was predicted to be done, but I ended up waiting another 10 minutes, which was fine for me. It's a sparsely decorated sandwich spot, with a little bit of seating, but it's clear this is a grab-n-go type place. After picking up the sandwiches, I cut both in half and ate half of each. I can't really remember what I got, but that was kind of besides the point anyways. They offer a variety of breads, so I opted for dutch crunch and a regular french roll. The dutch crunch wasn't as good as others I've had from other notable sandwich places, but the french roll was great! I liked the construction of the sandwiches, as they were tightly wrapped and not over-stuffed. Good ratios and not too large as to not be able to wrap your mouth around it. But as for the content itself, I just wasn't blown away. It was perfectly normal, but I didn't feel anything beyond that. As a lunch place, I feel like it's a good option if you want a sandwich, but if you've got something closer to you that is marginally similar, I'd head there first.
