Been coming here for years now--it's my favorite place to grab a sandwich in Arts District. Great options, fresh ingredients, and always have to get a bag of the black truffle chips to go with it. My personal faves are the Ironwood and 43rd Ave! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a ton of seating available outside, but great for picking up before heading to LA State Historic Park and having a little picnic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Good sandwiches for a decent price! I came here on a hot day with some friends and got the Vincent Ave. I love cold Italian sandwiches and this hit the spot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small little shop and there was construction outside of it, so it was a little hard to find.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was no seating when we were there, but later found out they brought some chairs and tables out after we left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd come back if I was in the area and wanted a quick meal! read more

First time trying Breadlam and it was fantastic. The ingredients are all very fresh including the bread. I ordered a vegan sandwich with hummus/chickpeas. It was very flavorful and tasty. Customer service was great. We were greeted once we entered. I was also told what sandwich the vegan customers like the most. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has outside seating and street parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back. read more

Every sandwich is so unique and delicious! I ordered the Ironwood as a salad and it was filling and satisfying! My friend loved her beef sandwich on ciabatta. The workers are SO kind and friendly, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]Breadlam is a simple, clean and great option for sandwich or salad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also offer "specials of the day" with options for meat lovers and vegetarians! read more

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday. Service was quick and the guy helping us was great. Got the York and Colorado. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are places to sit inside and outside the sandwich shop and the ambiance is simple yet quirky/cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Both sandwiches tasted super fresh with crunchy/soft bread. The only negative is that I felt like the York was way too saucy, making the sauce overpower all the other ingredients. read more

I live close by and never knew that this was located here since it closes at 4PM. I'm sure I'm not the only one that missed it walking by! Their menu is not extensive, and I was recommended to try the 5th Avenue which comes with prosciutto. You get to choose the bread to go with (ciabatta, baguette, multigrain). I went with the ciabatta, and it was okay. I wish they had toasted the bread, or at least offered the option. The prosciutto was not bad, but I wish there was more of it or a bit less on the other toppings to not overpower the prosciutto taste. Wasn't a fan of the Raymond... Turkey tends to be on the dry side, so that was on me for ordering it. The roasted tomatoes were very nice though. The sandwiches do come with pickles on the side! Parking is tough in the area. Good luck with street parking, paid lots is probably the best way to go. read more

Does Breadlam allow doggos? Yes, they have a small but cute outdoor area. I remember Breadlam's early days in 2019 when it was a one-man show led by Tommy, the owner. I'm thrilled to see the place not only survive the pandemic but thrive. Tommy's remarkable creations and welcoming attitude truly deserve the success. The consistent quality and flavor since its opening make it my favorite neighborhood sandwich shop. My personal favorites are: Raymond, Cabrillo, and Mt. Vernon. The airy ciabatta and all the ingredients make for a delightful combination. I love the simplicity of all of their sandwiches. I also enjoy trying their daily specials, such as Winter in Paris. You can turn any of their sandwiches into a salad. They also make charcuterie boards. They used to only have outdoor seating in front of the shop. Now they have expanded and have tables indoor, as well. Overall, I highly recommend Breadlam for a quick bite or casual eats. read more

This is my first time eating here. I love a good sandwich. This sandwich was... fine. I'm not a fan of chewy bread. If you are, that's fine. That's not my thing. I ordered The Ridge which contains ROASTED TURKEY, AGED CHEDDAR, AVOCADO, OLIVE OIL, GREENS. Also comes with a side of those small cornichons. Overall, the sandwich was okay. The cheddar was way overpowering and couldn't really taste the turkey which didn't really have much flavor in the first place. Guac is guac, but it also causes the sandwich to become a slippery mess. One bite and the inside spills out the back as is common. Again, the bread, while it was delicious, is also chewy which is a big turnoff on deli sandwiches for me. Could have been better. Maybe I tried the wrong thing, but this didn't work out for me. read more

This sandwich place is unreal. It took me by surprise how amazing their sandwiches are. The ingredients are high quality and fresh. The combination of ingredients is carefully created and tastes amazing! I can't compare it to any other sandwich spot because it doesn't compare. I tried the 5h Avenue sandwich and the Raymond sandwich. Both were served on fresh soft chibatta bread. Both sandwiches had amazing flavor! I would get either of them again. The 5th Avenue sandwich had awesome basil flavor with a thick piece of aged Gouda cheese. All sandwiches are $12. They sell until sold out so you have to get there earlier in the day before they are gone. I loved these sandwiches so much! I look forward to visiting Breadlam again! read more

Basic plus would be my rating. That means maybe I'll eat there again but I'm not dreaming of my next sandwich coming from there. Maybe the week I went was a off week with the sandwich options. But moving on read more

This is a small little sandwich restaurant in the arts district. They have great sandwich options including vegetarian. They make the sandwich bread in house (ciabatta). They give you small pickles (Gherkins) which are very tasty. They told me they do run out of bread so they close down when they do. So I recommend to show up early or you will miss out. Good thing is they are open 7 days a week. read more

I've had many tuna sandwiches in my day. I'd consider myself a connoisseur even. When I say this has been one of my favorite tuna sandwiches, I am committing to the truth of that, and am willing to die on this hill. Please eat this sandwich. Please. The wasabi mayo is so good. read more

We had their two vegan sandwiches the Valencia and Mesa on toasted ciabatta AND WOW! Such a great sandwich. Such friendly people! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute outside seating near the breweries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Absolutely would recommend! read more

Recently I have been coming here like almost once a week. Their meat and bread quality is good. And the portion is big. These sandwiches will definitely fill you up. My favorite Sandwich is Geary. It has truffle mousse pate and prosciutto. The mousse was smooth and not heavy. Prosciutto was not too salty . My second choice of sandwich is the Raymond. It comes with Roasted Turkey. The Turkey was good, moist not dry. It also has tomato mayo and roasted tomato which level up the deliciousness very well. I'm a healthier bread fan. So I always get my sandwich with multi grain bread. It's texture is good..soft and bouncy. There are special sandwiches of the day. If you wanna be special, check the special menu before order. It is always special yummy. Employees/owner are so nice and friendly. Good service even though it is self service! You can order thru their website and come pick it up. This place is really a small pick up place and they have about 3 or 4 tables outside to sit....so don't bring a giant party here...lol. Giant order for take out is fine...haha Oh...I saw some people comparing this place to Bread Lounge. Honestly, they're different. Of course , it's a given Bread Lounge will have stellar bread....and they do!! But their sandwiches have been a little inconsistent lately...and I'm liking Breadlam better ....at any rate...why not have 2 choices for good sandwiches..no need to pick just one. Street Parking only.. any credit card accepted! read more

Stopped in on a whim. Very simple menu. Asked the guy working for his recommendation and ordered the roast beef. It was so good. It wasn't oily or goopy with tons of olive oil or horseradish sauce. It was so fresh and light. I will be definitely coming back. Great place if you are just looking for something lite and simple. read more

We stopped here while we were passing through downtown LA during lunch time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's in a really nice, clean area (the arts district), and I stress that because unfortunately many areas of downtown are not.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We decided on this place after searching through yelp because my husband loves a good italian sandwich and the photo they had of theirs looked delicious. I'm also watching my calories so I liked that they had the option of having every sandwich as a salad. So hubby ordered the italian sandwich and I ordered the tuna salad, which was served with a very generous portion of mixed greens and avocado. Both items were generously portioned and tasted very good. The service was also quick considering it's a small place with only two people working that afternoon. We would definitely stop here again if we were in the area. read more

Breadlam has some great sandwiches in the arts district in DTLA. The bread for the sandwiches is fantastic and probably my favorite part of the whole sandwich. It's a small spot with some outdoor seating. Highly Recommend: - Mount Vernon 9/10 Sandwich with spicy salami, Piave vecchio, olive spread, spicy mayo, greens - Valencia my wife ordered this veggie sandwich and she really enjoyed this read more

I've been coming here since pretty much the day it opened (4 years ago maybe?); not sure why I took so long to leave a review.....this place is outstanding! I'm a big-time sandwich eater and this place is right at the top of my SoCal sandwich list! All of the meats and cheeeses used are top-notch and the bread is excellent (and they add some interesting & tasty ingredients to the sandwiches as well). It's hard to find a deli/sandwich shop which has great roast beef but the roast beef here is great. I highly recommend the turkey and ham sandwiches as well. I've placed some big orders for lunch events at my office and all of my workmates loved the sandwiches as well! read more

I wanted to like Breadlam way more, but compared to Bread Lounge (which is my new current favorite place), I thought that Breadlam was just average. I actually initially wanted to go to Breadlam, but they do have limited hours and that's when I discovered Bread Lounge. I finally was able to make it on time during a random Sunday afternoon. I have been craving a prosciutto sandwich, so I opted for the 5th Ave. The employee that was working there was super nice. I ordered and was in and out in about 5 minutes. I thought that the sandwich was just OK. The roasted tomato was a little overpowering and made the sandwich a little too salty for me (and I LOVE salty things). The bread was pretty good though (I got mine on a ciabatta). I also have to say for what I got, I thought the sandwich was a little pricey. With Bread Lounge so close to Breadlam and with longer hours, I am not sure if I will come back to Breadlam. For anyone that does go here, some logistics. There is no parking here, so you will have to find street parking (which is pretty horrendous). I actually just parking in a loading zone and since I was in and out in less than 10 minutes, I was OK. There is also limited seating outside for those that do want to eat there. read more

Just moved into the neighborhood not too long ago and usually have Sammie's for lunch. Our go-to before was subway - yes, i said subway bc we literally lived across the street from one and it was the only place walking distance to get sandwiches from. Well. After moving to arts district and Yelp reviews, found Breadlam. Their sandwiches are SO GOOD! very comparable to Larchmont wine & cheese (a local FAV)! 2nd time here and got the Raymond and it was delicious. Definitely my go-to spot for weekly Sammie's. They even have an assortment (small) of New York seltzers (iykyk). read more

Visited Breadlam while friends and I were in the Art's district. Overall, I think they have fun sandwiches named after cities and famous locations. Their ingredients tasted fresh and were delicious. I got the salad version because Breadlam ran out of bread! Just my luck - the staff told me they only received half their order for the day. I enjoyed my 5th ave salad. There was a good amount of prosciutto and olives. I think the prices are a little steep for what it is and for not being a "dine in" experience - but being in the location, I understand. read more

Is bread a hidden gem? Well it should be at Breadlam... This amazing shiny local biz is one of my new favs and not just because the food is excellent, but because of the layout and killer service as well. Amazing safety and health practices and a well spaced out inviting and shady patio area out front for dinning. B-Lam is doing it right! They have so many great bread covered foodie options... Being a sandwich joint and all. A solid vegan option or two actually, with the options of customizing any sandwich to your wants and needs. Plenty of chips, snacks and beverages (like seltzer, water, kombucha and many others) to pair with your meal. That Masonic of there's is Supersuponic! Cibatta, Avocado, Peppadews, Balsamic, Greens, Olive Oil, Tomato and a melting of flavors I'm still tasting days later.... I'm eyeing the Valencia for next time! This perfect lunch spot can carry over to an early dinner or even a savory meal to store in the fridge for the next day,... Though the food is so fresh you'll want to enjoy it immediately... Especially with beyond quality sandwiches at a very reasonable price compared to other places in the area and in LA. Parking can be an adventure, but even if you don't nab anything close the area is so scenic and inviting, you definitely won't mind... Especially not for Breadlam! read more

We came in recently for lunch and our taste buds were left satisfied! Breadlam is a little gourmet sandwich shop in the heart of Art District in DTLA. I ordered the Raymond and my hubby got the Beef Blvd. I fully enjoyed my Raymond and it was the perfect size! I hate messy sandwiches and the Raymond was perfect. It has roasted turkey, comte cheese, mustard, tomato mayo and lotsa fresh greens! The two best part of the sandwich to me was the comte cheese and the ciabatta bread! The bread was soft pillow like, and it was my first time tasting delicious comte cheese! The comte is semi-hard, and salty sweet at the same time. And if you are thirsty, there are plenty of choices for drinks! I was actually a bit overwhelmed with all the choices but I decided to try the can of Olipop and hubby got the bottle of orange cream soda. Covid safety was in place, all workers wore masks and only one customer inside at a time. There are complimentary 4 hour street parking around or meters within the arts district. A few small tables outside for dining however we took our sandwiches to-go. Here at Breadlam there is no uproar or confusion, just deliciousness and healthy sandwiches. read more

Wow this sandwich really hit the spot on a hot day. I got the 5th Ave. Its super refreshing and light and made me feel somewhat healthy haha. Loved the combo of prosciutto, the sun-dried tomato flavor, light oil dressing, and the cheese. Literally felt like a gourmet charcuterie board inside some fresh bread. Paired with the bottled Diet Coke this sandwich was just the perfect quick easy Saturday lunch. There's a few more things I want to try so I will be back! read more

Oooohhh Breadlam.... don't even get me started. I've been going here for a few months now every time I'm craving a sandwich. The other sandwich shops in LA don't even compare (except Bay Cities, but that's a different kind of sandwich I feel). I have tried many sandwiches from here and every single one of them has exceeded expectations. Breadlam has a special superpower of knowing what ingredients will be good together and then putting them into scrumptious sandwiches. Before getting into my specific sandwich reviews, let me just say that the service is impeccable too. The staff and owners are so kind and really truly just want to share the sandwich love! The food: my personal recommendation is to try to go with a friend so that you can get two sandwiches and try to because they are truly that good and you need to try them all. 5th Ave: One of my favorite sandwiches from here. The prosciutto and cheese ( I'm not sure which cheese) pairing is to die for, as well as the spread. It goes perfectly together and is so salty and savory, in the best way possible Raymond: This is a classic. It's turkey with a delicious cheese and the mustard and tomato mayo spread seriously gives it the most delicious taste. Love it Ploughman: I didn't even know I wanted a vegetarian sandwich until I had this one. Now I know it's all I need in life. The items that set this sandwich apart are the very thinly sliced cucumbers and the jelly spread on the bread. So fresh and tasty They also have daily flavors which always look very good. I haven't tried any yet because I always go back to my favorites, but I'll try and try them soon because they look delicious read more

I decided to stop by Breadlam for a quick lunch after walking around the Arts District area. It's a small and cute sandwich shop right across from the Salt and Straw. They provided seatings area outdoor so I was able to enjoy my sandwich along with the nice spring breeze. I really liked how they posted a big menu outdoor along with detailed descriptions of each sandwich. This menu was what initially captured my eye and made me decide to come. I ordered 5th Ave sandwich that was a perfect blend of prosciutto ham, roasted tomatoes, cheese, basil&greens. The flavors were so rich and made me feel like i was enjoying pasta on my sandwich. The bread was made crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I really appreciated how the size was adequate instead of overwhelmingly big so I was able to finish everything in 1 sitting. Parking could be challenging, but highly recommend to find street parking since it's cheaper. I will definitely return to try their Ironwood next!! read more

Breadlam - 5th Ave Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So, right away I want to give Breadlam three stars. I think that a sandwich should be an economical affair. No matter how fancy the ingredients are it's pretty simple formula: bread + meat, everything else is kind of an add-on. The trend of fancied up sandwiches with pretty high prices are new and I'm definitely grumpy about it. Breadlam fits into that category and yet despite all the higher-end trappings it's still one of the tastier sandwiches I've had in LA. I've had the Mount Vernon and the Beef Boulevard and both times I've been skeptical about its size. They were both tasty, I'm a fan of their spicy mayo but I definitely need a little something something alongside it. read more

This place is so cute! This is my first time ever coming here, and I'm definitely not disappointed. I love how friendly and welcoming the area is, and also the staff of this cute café. First off, there is a lot of parking. Which is very important LOL. Second off, prices. Affordable. You get what you pay for. The sandwich it's self is so tasty! I ordered The Beef Boulevard, and I absolutely love it. It has a little spice to it, which definitely gives it a little kick. I just adore how cute the restaurant is too. I love how it's just free and open to anyone, who just wants to sit and relax. Nothing too fancy, nothing too crazy. But just a very chill vibe. And I think we need more chill vibes around here. No pressure of dressing up, or long lines. Just come, place your order grab it, and enjoy your meal. Sit there and enjoy the breeze with the sun, and maybe people watch as people walk by. I will definitely be returning to try the other sandwiches. read more

Absolutely amazing handmade from scratch sandwiches by a local 2 man/woman team in the heart of LA's art district. They curate and select the best of artisan cured meats and hand selected cheeses from all over the world in between the freshest locally made bread. Service is what you would get from a small LA owners business...authentic. Don't be shy and ask the team for recommendations and or their thoughts on flavor combinations.

The Bottom Line: Do you love charcuterie? Did you wish the cured meats and cheese you enjoy on top of a wooden board were in a sandwich? Then look no further! This unique concept makes it a stand-out destination in LA's Arts District. All I have to say is that this place was so good we lunched there two days in a row. On the first visit, I had a Mount Vernon, and the following visit I had the Glendale. Both featured different varieties of salami and both were paired well with their respective cheeses. I give the edge to the Mount Vernon with its olive spread. Honestly, I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches here. I think my intro says it all: the shop has a great collection of meats and cheese that you can order as a plate to share, but the real magic is when you combine these items with a nice ciabatta roll to make a killer sammie. Pro Tip: It's a small storefront with very limited seating outside so you may want to get this one to-go. read more

Breadlam is open during COVID for takeout. We ordered the The Geary Sandwich and it was very tasty. It was almost like a charcuterie board wrapped up in a sandwich. It came with a side of cronichon which added a nice crunch (just as a pickle would). This is definitely your gourmet sandwich, as it's made with finer ingredients and a more complex flavor. Also tried the Olipop Ginger Lemon soda water and I actually quite liked it! My hubby wasn't a fan because of the stevia taste, but I didn't mind it. Overall, a solid sandwich joint. Friendly service, the fella who made our sandwich came out and checked on us a few times which was nice. Check them out if you need a quick and tasty bite. read more
