It's a pretty good sandwich and in a cute little spot. Love supporting a small business. Nice small, simple menu. The lady who assisted me and my Dad when we went in, was a total sweetheart. As for the sandwich, it was pretty good. I got the turkey pesto. I liked it but I really want to try the other turkey sandwich on the menu now. The aioli sauce that they sell on the side, is delicious as well. read more

Bread Head - Mozzarella - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I was in the area and was craving some lunch so decided to pop in and order a sandwich to go. There was quite a line to order but it moved along, and probably about a 10-15 min wait until my order was ready. I ordered a half order of the Combo Grinder without cheese. I also got some hot sauce to go with it, as I saw some recs that it's better with it. It was probably about 10 minutes until I was able to eat the sandwich. It was decent, I liked all the meat and veggies inside, but it was pretty soggy which was disappointing. I imagine it's better if you eat it fresh, so I'd recommend eating it right when it's ready. I also wasn't that impressed by the bread; I was excited by the concept of focaccia for sandwich bread, but it wasn't that great. Pretty thin and crunchy rather than warm, salty, soft and a little crispy focaccia. A lot of the sandwich kept spilling out as I ate it, so it's definitely messy. Make sure you have napkins! And the hot sauce does make it a bit better. Half order is definitely the way to go, it was plenty for me to have by myself. read more

I had a turkey pesto sandwich. I loved everything about it - delicious, chewy bread. Price was reasonable. Indoor and outdoor seating but limited space. Well worth a visit! read more

Definitely a fan of their sandwiches but not a fan of their pricing. There is more lettuce than there is turkey. The foccacia bread delicious but to charge for tomato and onion on a sandwich is ridiculous it should be standard especially for a turkey sandwich. I mean .50 cents to add mustard, are you serious? I've been here twice and the staff is great, I love their variety of sandwiches and baked goods but it's the price that drives me crazy. Just for myself for a half sandwich because I added a few extra items it ended up being $21. Wtf!!!! I like this place but they need to do better with their prices, it is definitely over hyped. read more

I don't know who's making the sandwiches at the Santa Monica location, but maybe they need to be retrained. Over half of my Turkey Pesto Sandwich was arugula. The Muffaletta Sandwich was nothing like any Muffaletta Sandwich I have ever tasted. I don't know what the selling point of their bread is, but it added zero to the overall taste. So disappointed. Not returning. read more

We order this for lunch in office a lot and when I tell you crispy edges on the focaccia but on the inside so soft and the meat to bread ratio along with the mayo (they use Duke's) so yummy. There BLT is fire, the bacon is crispy too. Love their sandwiches, and worth the money too. read more

My partner and I decided to order in person despite the long line as it was moving pretty quickly and the orders didn't taken long to come out either. The Combo Grinder was good, but it was heavy from the sauces. My partner's BLT, however, was delicious and tasted lighter despite the load of bacon (their iceberg is crispy and adds so much freshness). The bread in the sandwich overall is good, but the crust is bit too hard in a sandwich for my preference. read more

Great sandwiches on amazing bread. Fast service, good vibes - super casual. BUT...this is the second time in a row I've been here and had to navigate multiple customers wrangling non-working dogs that they brought in with them...and again the dogs were barking and being yanked around by their leashes as they lunged around. What's the story? Are dogs allowed in here? The sign outside says otherwise. Annoying. read more

This sandwich isn't a big deal. And considering how many people rave about the bread - have you people never had a good focaccia? Focaccia comes in different varieties but this one just isn't it. I ordered the whole Muffuletta for $25. It's filled with Fra'mani Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Pit Smoked Ham, Provolone, Swiss, Castlevetrano Olive Salad, Garlic Mayo Overall, it's not too bad of a price but still pricey. You get a good amount of meat, cheese, and for this sandwich, olive salad. The olive salad and garlic mayo are the highlights. But there's nothing really special about the meats and cheeses because they're served so cold that you feel like you just bite into a block of playdoh. The bread is almost stale, it's dry and just isn't very appealing to the textural components that focaccia is known for. read more

Got the combo Grinder and I would say it was a pretty good sandwich! They are on the thinner side so I was able to eat a whole sandwich without getting too full and I have never had a sandwich on the focaccia bread so that made it different. Found it a bit pricey for the portion size but I am sure the location had to do with that. Overall it had a lot of flavor and the bread was thin and didn't takeover. read more

Excited to try theses sandwiches that have been rated among the top in the city! The line moves relatively quickly and the staff is super friendly and efficient. If you don't want to wait, you can order online and pickup. For 2 of us going to the beach, I ordered 4 "half" sandwiches. When I opened them up, I realized that a half is really more like a whole to me so we had way more than we needed. But fun to try anyway. calabrian turkey - good, fresh ingredients but not a wow; would pass on this one next time combo grinder - YUM, lots of delicious italian meats and cheese with generous portion of roasted pepper; probably the FAVE muffuletta - a little similar to the combo with italian meats and cheeses; olive spread mozzarella - with avocado and sprouts; so much better than it sounds and one of our faves The bread was thin focaccia style and was crispy in parts. Really good vehicle for a sandwich, though a little messy for the beach! Overall we really enjoyed the sandos at Bread Head and would try more if we were in the area. read more

Today my friend and I stopped into Bread Head on Montana Avenue for a sandwich. First off, I have to mention that the staff is so friendly and nice. The sandwich choice is great and the sandwiches are served on the most delicious bread. I do wish that they could make an open-faced melted cheese sandwich on this bread because it would be amazing! The homemade bread, a custom focaccia is baked in special pans every few hours with a light glaze on top. OMG, I wish I could buy it because I'd eat this bread every day! We had the Chicken Salad Sandwich-house made roasted chicken salad with shaved green apple and apple butter. This was a really great sandwich and I'd definitely order it again. Their isn't much ambience in here but the sandwiches more than make up for that (and the bathroom is very cool and clean!) Next time we are going to also try the Ham and Butter Sandwich because I love the Benton's Tennessee Country Ham! We are also coming back for the BLT! We had some chips on the side and a yummy Brown Butter Chocolate Chip cookie that was wonderful! I'm so glad we stopped in today and we'll definitely be back soon! read more

Bread Head has quickly climbed the ranks to become one of our absolute favorite sandwich spots in town. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the bread- as it should be with the name. It's perfectly baked with a golden, crunchy crust on the outside and a pillowy soft interior that holds up beautifully to the generous fillings without ever feeling heavy. Portions here are massive. A half sandwich is easily the size of a regular whole sandwich anywhere else, and a full sandwich comes as four hearty slices -- perfect for sharing. We've been several times and worked our way through a good portion of the menu, but our personal standouts are the Calabrian Turkey, Roast Beef, and Turkey Pesto. Each one is fresh, flavorful, and layered with just the right balance of ingredients so that nothing overpowers the bread. The only downside is the weekend crowd. This place draws serious sandwich lovers, and seating is extremely limited. You'll often find yourself eating with a line of people hovering nearby, waiting for their turn. The good news? They're currently building a patio, which should make the experience much more comfortable. While it's not the cheapest sandwich shop around, the quality and size of the portions more than justify the price. If you're anywhere near Santa Monica, Bread Head is absolutely worth a stop -- and with new locations in the works, it's only going to get easier to get your fix. read more

Warning.....Full disclosure I'm not a big focaccia fan!! But with that being said this crispy focaccia definitely has me thinking maybe I do? Lol!!! I'm a huge fan of the BLT in general and it's pretty freaking delicious here!!! I also loved the weekly specials but meatballs my favorite place!! Highly recommended!! read more

This place is excellent and my go to when we're entertaining and I don't want to cook! Always a big hit with our crowds. We've picked up sandwiches for the Hollywood Bowl and holiday parties. Everyone loved the sandwiches so much that there was none left. Gone! Not even one left over for us to have the next day. By the way, these sandwiches hold up well if you have to pick them up hours before an event. They're even good the next day, and this is coming from someone who is not a fan of next day sandwiches, but will eat next day Bread Head. Favorites are roast beef and tuna. If you ever see lemon or key lime pie on the menu, try it! It's all delicious! read more

I got the Ham and butter. I was thinking that a simple sandwich with very few ingredients would highlight the bread. The bread was decent, not a home run though. And the ham was a salt bomb. I know cured meats like prosciutto is salty, but that choice made the sandwich almost uneatable. I also suspect that they added salt cause I could see salt flakes. And for $14 you are basically buying just the bread. I was very unimpressed especially since the shop had very high hype. The staff were very nice and friendly which is why I didn't give it a one or two stars. read more

Food was great!! Got the turkey pesto. Service was pretty efficient but nothing to write home about. Went on Saturday for lunch and it was packed! Hard to find a place to sit.

Bread Head - Turkey Pesto and Arnold Palmer - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Bread Head!! I've been meaning to try you and it was quite delicious. I got the 1/2 turkey pesto and my dad got the 1/2 Calabrian turkey. The "1/2" sandwich is a FULL sandwich so don't be fooled! We very much enjoyed both sandwiches - the bread is crispy, ingredients are fresh and definitely have some unique sandwiches with different flavor profiles. I kind of wish they had a few more options like just a prosciutto or salami sandwich but still thought it was an overall great experience. The price is definitely on the higher scale and think it should be no more than $13 since they are many of great gourmet sandwiches in the area that range less than that. Otherwise I would definitely recommend! read more

I'm so happy I found this sandwich shop! The bread here is amazing. Crunchy and light with so much flavor. I got the combo grinder and the sandwich was huge. I couldn't finish it but they were not stingy with the meat. The ingredients used were super fresh and they use dukes mayo they use is so so good. The workers are really nice and upkeep the tables frequently. I loved sitting outside since many customers bring their dogs so it was so cute seeing all the dogs walk by. The only downside is parking but there are nearby lots available. read more

I don't know if my review was read by the company, but I decided to give them another try. Omg, Wow... Yes!! This sandwich is actually better than my first review! Great amount of meat and fixings! They definitely made this one right and I will be back! Thanks read more

Bruh, the whole is two sandwiches. The whole order *FEELS* pricey but it's actually an insane deal because you get two sandwiches. It's insane. Loved the ciabatta bread and the ingredients were extremely fresh. They also have daily in house brewed unsweetened ice tea that my mom thought was decent. Would highly recommend for any sandwich lover! I got the mozzarella which was delicious with the alfalfa greens. Mom got the roast beef which had a nice fresh horseradish spread. Absolutely delicious! read more

After reading the rave review in the NYT 's recently about this establishment, I had to visit coming in to LA For Christmas from Brooklyn NY. It's a small place with not much seating so be prepared to hover and grab a stool or table if you can. The line was somewhat long but moved fast. I ordered the Turkey Pesto 1/2 Sandwich and a large lemonade. The 1/2 sandwich is plenty of food and cost me $18 - lemonade was $5 and very good. Unfortunately the focaccia was somewhat stale and hard to bite in to and the turkey was good but dry. I love avocado but it was over powering and just got too messy. I do love the side of zapa hot sauce that was different. Next time I'll get the Chicken salad or roast beef and probably go during a quiet weekday to see if the bread is fresher and out of oven baked well! Until next time ( or not ) read more

Holy mama, this sandwich spot is my new favorite in Santa Monica. I know everyone raves about bay cities, but I have always found their bread so hard to bite through and all the toppings just get smushed or push aside. BLT is a MUST try! The lettuce was super refreshing and adding a whole different experience for me in a BLT! It was absolutely delicious! Ham and butter is a classic, I definitely would enjoy this if I had a glass a wine and a book. Can't wait to go back and try their other sandwiches! read more

The bread is everything!!! So crispy and perfect in every way! I think it's more of a schiaciatta than a focaccia as the latter is usually thicker which I do not like for a sandwich so this bread is perf. If they sold it on its own I would buy and eat so much bread on its own! I came in on a weekend afternoon. Good amount of people in the place. Good amount of seating on the inside. I got my order pretty quickly. There's a small parking lot in the back. I ordered the Calabrian Turkey and the Italian combo. The Calabrian Turkey was phenomenal!! Just has a few simple ingredients but you can taste the quality. What kind of Turkey do they use because it was so flavorful!! This has become one of my all time fave sandwiches!! The Italian sandwich was not my favorite because I didn't like one of the meats used but that's not their fault it's just my personal preference. There was some sort of sweet fennel seed like taste that I am not a fan of. So maybe look at all the ingredients if you're picky like me haha. I must add that I really dig the amount of iceberg lettuce they use. Gives it a good fresh crunch and it's exactly how I make my sandwiches at home! I am excited to go back and try many of the other sandwiches!! Order a half size!! If you order a full one it's two giant pieces. read more

I was stoked when Bread Head finally opened up on Montana. I am a huge sandwich foodie and this is sandwich heaven. They have daily specials: Cuban Wednesdays, Reuban Thursdays, Sausage Fridays (and some more specials). I have been to bread head twice and let's just say the interior decor and service are top notch! I've tried both the Thursday Special (pastrami) and the Mozzarella and yes they're both good but the Mozzarella is unique and delicious! You can taste all the fresh ingredients and that's what I admired the most about this place. They have great beers, Arnold palmers, apple pie and some additional snacks like pimento cheese dip. read more

Super hyped spot on Montana, which should be a great addition to that wonderful block and community! A few things: We went on a Sunday around 1:30 and it seemed crowded but the line actually moved really quickly! Total plus. Total minus it was actually 85 degrees in there and it's really small and no air flow. Another plus was beer! We got beers while we waited. Our wait wasn't long but there wasn't anywhere to sit. Not a big deal we managed to grab a corner of one of the bar top areas. Sandwiches..... A half sandwich is actually reasonably priced considering it's really a full sandwich. We got a muffuletta and a roast beef. Muffuletta was SO salty and hardly edible. It also came with 1 slice of mortadella and a few shavings of ham. Really thin. Also got a half roast beef which was decidedly better, but still only about 2-3 slices of meat. The bread is thin and looks amazing but it was STALE and tough to eat. Did not taste like it was freshly baked that morning. Judging by the heat in there they were already making tomorrow's batch of bread. The bread is stiff and has no give or flavor. I saw a lot of people getting the turkey pesto which felt like it was more of a bang for your buck Sando at $18 bc of the Avocado. Probably wouldn't got back but maybe it was an off day. Club sauce is good though (for an extra $1.50) read more

Truly some of the best sandwiches my boyfriend and I have eaten. I truly can't think of many other vegetarian sandwiches as flavorful, hearty, as fresh as the mozzarella. Bf got the muffuletta and loved it. Food came out quick and store is cute. read more

My cousin recommended this sandwich place to us in Santa Monica and it was amazing. I loved the bread soo much. It had the perfect crunch. I did drive to the beach and then eat it, which gave it time for the juices to make the bread a bit soggy, but I'm sure fresh, it would hit the spot even harder. The shop, itself, was cute and had pictures everywhere which gave it an at home vibe. They had pickle beer and cherry soda I want to try next time for sure. This sandwich reminded me of the movie ratatouille when remy bites the strawberry and cheese at the same time and goes into a trance of flavors. Everything came together perfectly and their hot sauce was to die for. I can't wait to try this sandwich place again. The staff was welcoming and friendly. My family also got the BLT and Calabrian turkey which were both super flavorful too! read more

Bread Head - COMBO GRINDER - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I've been here a couple times now and while it's good, I would say it's a little overrated. The bread itself is amazing, but I've found most of the sandwiches to be kind of whatever. I've now tried the Calabrian Turkey, Muffaletta, Chicken Salad, Turkey Pesto, and the Mozzarella, with the Mozzarella being my favorite by far. I do appreciate that they have voodoo chips and the Arnold Palmer they have is quite tasty, so those are some major pros. For the crowds this place draws, it's a little on the smaller side and seating can get tight, but the dining area is clean and well serviced. The staff here at Bread Head are truly exceptional. They have always been extremely kind and as quick as they possibly can be. It's very rare you come across a staff that is this good and that seems to genuinely care about their jobs and giving customers a good experience. They all deserve a raise! read more
