This was a great random find! There was a French sandwich shop near my house (Le Petite Baguette)…read morethat closed years ago and this delightful shop fills the void! Whimsical decor and a friendly owner makes this a very welcoming place. Almost every customer was a regular. I had the Ficelle which was prosciutto, French butter, French Brie cheese, and marmalade. Simple, sweet, and salty. Was the perfect sandwich. I took home a Croque Monsieur for my wife which was ham, Gruyere, on grilled sourdough. Again, very simple but thanks to the high quality ingredients it was excellent. I sampled a few bites and loved it. It's street parking but there was plenty of space open. Inside had a few tables. Great place! I can't wait to return!

THE FOOD: I ordered their Pastrami Sandwich. It was hot, fresh and juicy. The bread was perfectly toasted and the housemade sauerkraut was chefs kiss.

The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY…read more Free 8 inch cold sandwich for VIP members (6 Way Italian not included) Big Bucky (choice of 3 meats) 6 way Italian is my usual go-to, so it's unfortunate the sandwich is no longer included in the birthday month promo. But, I understand. That particular sandwich is loaded with 6 kinds of meat. The contingency sandwich became the Big Bucky, w/ the choice of 3 meats. Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.

You'll find an extensive selection of coleslaw, sandwiches, desserts, pre-marinated meats and more. I recently grabbed a turkey sandwich on a hoagie roll and a slice of lemon bundt cake (my payment for doing a social activity.) I noticed several people ordering their large steamed artichokes, so I'll need to return to fully understand the hype! Their catering menu is pretty extensive - it legit includes 20+ meat options. I definitely plan to take advantage of this when my parents visit next.

No parking lot but there is parallel street parking in the neighborhood. Facility: 4/5. No frills, super cute and eclectic. If you're visiting Long Beach, I'd say this is a place you might want to stop grab a bite to eat and snap a few pics. Only a few tables outside to eat at, but people come and go fairly quickly. I didn't see a bathroom so I'm not sure if there is one. Service: 5/5. Fast friendly, no issues. Food: 3/5. We got breakfast burritos and since I'm such a breakfast burrito snob, this one wasn't bad, but was far from the best I've had. It was fresh and was made exactly to my specifications. Overall I would come here again in a heartbeat because the store has so many cute unique items and I love places like this!

Went into this blindly and that burger did not disappoint. Not only a huge burger but one of the best burgers I've had up to date, if not in Long Beach!

While ordering, mid sentence, I kept getting interrupted with "anything else"? I appreciate the attentive prompting, but can I finish speaking before you ask the next question. I decided to get onion rings this time bc the fries have tasted refried the last few times. I'm so bummed at this change of mind. Upon my first bite of a really crispy onion ring, turned out to be a batter coated onion skin. So disappointing and disgusting. Half full ranch cups and soggy bread (I ate my food less than ten minutes after pickup) left me so upset. I lifted my burger to have the bread completely deteriorate off as you can see behind the onion skin ring. MVP, you're making rookie mistakes.

In addition, they offer specials. I think I have tried most of the sandwiches on their menu and all have been great. Today I ordered one if my favorites Turkey (I have many here) and my husband ordered the hot meatball, another one of my favorites. Both sandwiches were excellent. Definitely shareable, but we didn't share and finished our sandwiches! Meatball waa quite messy but so good! I usually don't order my turkey sandwich with oil and vinegar but I do here. It's balsamic vinegar and oil and pairs well with the Havarti cheese! Loaded with fresh roasted turkey too! Service is always friendly and they sandwiches come out quickly. I usually order sandwiches to go after a trip to Wholefoods but today we dined in (really outside!). We decided to grab our sandwiches and sit next door (kiosk) and enjoy with Beers at Beachwood!

We ordered a couple chopped cheeses, fries, onion rings, and chicken nuggets for the little one. Everything was delicious. The crispiness of all the fries foods were spot on. They offered up some delicious homemade sauces, and their cilantro one is bomb (not spicy but a little tangy). The chopped cheese was melty and delicious, and the bread had a nice chewy texture. Service was friendly and low-key. Food took a little while but was worth the wait. Everything was so good. We will definitely be back!

I've been wanting to try NYC Chop Cheese since they opened. Unfortunately, this first visit was…read morerough enough to make curiosity feel like a mistake. I got the 10-inch chopped cheese combo. The sandwich had a few positives: good amount of beef, tender meat, cheese melted in well and the bread was genuinely great. Soft, chewy, flavorful and easily the best thing here. Everything after that started falling apart. The sandwich was rich and oily but didn't have enough seasoning, acidity or heat to balance it. There were faint hints of cumin and the salt level was fine, but overall it tasted like it was trying to coast on grease. The lettuce and tomato added nothing, and even the cilantro sauce couldn't cut through the oily aftertaste. If you do try it, add onions, pickles and jalapeños because the base sandwich badly needs backup. The fries looked good, then delivered absolutely nothing. Barely seasoned, smaller portion than expected and somehow had a weird burnt aftertaste despite looking normal. That takes effort. Service was the real disaster. The person helping me acted annoyed, like customers were an unfortunate side effect of running a restaurant. The menu board shows combo pricing for some items, like burgers, but not sandwiches, so the chopped cheese combo pricing was unclear. The drink situation was ridiculous. The board says $2.99 for a 24 oz drink and the soda machine was right there, but I was handed a 12 oz can with no heads-up that the machine wasn't available. That's not a substitute. Full size promise for a half-size reality. For $22.03 total, that made the whole combo feel even worse value-wise. Food took almost 30 minutes and it felt like my order sat around until it was convenient to bag it. I only got it when another customer who ordered after me was being helped. Add the flies hanging around the napkins and surfaces and this started feeling less like lunch and more like a health inspection waiting to happen. Parking is rough too since it's on a narrow, busy intersection, though there is paid parking across the street. Overall, the bread was great and the sandwich had potential, but potential doesn't carry bad service, bland fries, unclear pricing, a drink downgrade, a long wait and flies. If the food was amazing, maybe some of this could be overlooked. Nah, too many atrocities happening.
