I went back to Bay Cities sixteen years after my initial 3-star review, and honestly, my rating…read morestill stands. The Godmother is good but disproportionately acclaimed, and I'd never wait in line to get it. Thankfully, it's easy to order ahead. I did this through DoorDash on the drive over to Santa Monica, where we were already headed to catch a Sunday afternoon play. We walked in and saw the zoo at the deli counter, then learned that DoorDash pick-ups were in a different corner of the grocery. There was a confusing sign that indicated "catering & on-line pick up around the corner to the left," which in its ambiguous phrasing, led me to a place I wasn't supposed to go (it was apparently only for catering orders, but what about "catering & on-line pick up" excludes DoorDash orders?). A snippy employee cast me out and completely ignored my explanation about the sign. But other than that, the pick-up was quick and painless, much better than waiting in that line. It was like going to the DMV with an appointment vs. without (one of my favorite Broad City gags). We looked around the store, which was quite nice, a sizable gourmet grocery with lots of wine, deli goods, tinned fish, etc. My husband bought a lemonade and learned that Bay Cities doesn't take credit cards. (He was able to use an ATM card.) We took our pick-up order, bagged in a maximal amount of plastic, and grabbed one a handful of shaded tables in front of the store. We'd planned to take our sandwiches to a park, but this was a pleasant place to eat. I got the Godmother with the works: prosciutto, ham, capicola, mortadella, Genoa salami, and Provolone; hot peppers (you can also get mild), Italian dressing, mayo, yellow mustard, lettuce, onion, tomato, and pickles, all on a fresh Italian roll. The bread was great, sturdy with a good crunch, and I liked the sandwich well enough. It was OK+ for sure, just not really a standout in my map of Los Angeles sandwiches. I also ordered a side of snap pea salad, with fresh snap peas, mandarin orange, black sesame seeds, sesame oil, and salt. I love snap peas but I guess I don't love them quite this raw and underdressed. This was a disappointment. If I lived in Santa Monica, I might go to Bay Cities more than once every 16 years. But unless I'm still missing something, it's not really worth a drive.

From the moment we walked in, we had a great experience -- greeted right away with warm and…read moreenthusiastic hellos at the door. I ordered The Old Sport, my husband had The Peter, and our three-year-old daughter went with the classic PB&J. We all absolutely LOVED our sandwiches. We also had the chance to meet the two owners (a woman and her partner), who were so friendly and incredibly sweet to our daughter -- such a nice touch that made the visit even more memorable. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the ingredients are refreshingly simple. I really appreciate that they don't use fake processed meats -- they keep it straightforward, yet the sandwiches are still outstanding. The bread deserves a mention too: crisp on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside. I rarely hand out five stars, but they've earned it here. Making sandwiches taste this good with such simple and whole ingredients is no easy feat, yet they pull it off nicely. Highly recommend this spot for both carnivores and vegans alike!

We finally made the trek to north Montana! We ordered the Peter and Wanda. I liked the Wanda more…read more The eggplant in the Peter was a little heavy handed on the salt or soy sauce. I loved the caramelized onions and mushrooms in Wanda. The bread was top 10 breads we've tried. The lettuce was crispy and the tomatoes had a bite. The $20 sandwiches are a little sticker shocking considering there is no protein. Maybe the cheeses are made from nuts. I would definitely appreciate like a marinated tofu slice or even slab or tempeh with the existing dressings/sauces. The old sport had the chickpeas so we'll get that next time. My partner was obsessed with the walnut date syrup brownie.

We frequented this sandwich shop when we were traveling in Florence and Rome. Pleasantly surprised…read moreto see they have a store in Venice and decided to give it a shot. Sandwiches here are not as good as the ones in Italy, but pretty great for what I'd expect here. Got the l'italiana and the la schiacciata del boss. Both were good in their own way but I'd say the truffle cream in the del boss sandwich is an excellent umami boost. Sandwich portions here are pretty big and half a sandwich is enough to fill me up!

Be aware of a GOOD thing...these sandwiches are HUGE!!…read more We had the Caprese and the Veggie and clearly we could have shared one sandwich as we ended up having half and then having the other half for dinner at home. For five dollars extra you can upgrade and include a drink and a bag of potato chips. Very good food, the bread was fresh out of the oven and the ingredients were amazing. Outside seating in a nice shaded patio. I definitely recommend.

This made me so excited I was finally going to be able to try this famous sandwich place. When we arrived, there was no line. They offered a sample of their ham and it was delicious. My son and I decided to share a the La Toscana. It was delicious. I was a little nervous about the truffle honey, but it was perfect. Now I probably could've eaten a whole sandwich, but since it was our first time we shared. The staff was so friendly. Please keep in mind this location does not accept cash. There are plenty of tables inside to sit and enjoy your sandwich in the air-conditioning. There is also a restroom for customers. I can't wait to go back and try another sandwich from the menu. I'm sure everything is delicious. If you're in the area, stop by and grab a sandwich you'll be glad that you did.

It came with a side of caesar dressing which I felt it needed as the wrap it self was a little dry due to having light dressing.
