I would not have come here if it weren't for yelp. I was looking for focaccia bread in L.A. and this shop said they have it. I see this shop once a week and I always walk into the French pastry shop next door. In the future, I'll stop at both! I got the W.L.F. on focaccia and a bag of salt and vinegar chips. When I got home, I slipped the chips inside of the sandwich and added a drizzle of honey. It was glorious. read more

My first visit, I thought the WLF sandwich was very okay and overly saucy. I have a theory that places that put a lot of sauce are covering up the fact that the food itself is not very good. But after expressing my concerns, Monroe Place was quick to reach out and recommend me another sandwich (Jamón & The Giant Peach) which I enjoyed a lot more! The ingredients were fresh and the ratio of everything was perfect. Although I didn't have the greatest first experience, I love that they did everything they could to make it right. read more

Culver City doesn't lack outstanding food and drink options - you just have to ask around, turn to your neighbors and friends, and of course, to those foodies on Yelp who helped me discover Monroe Place. Simple format, solid sandwiches. I stopped by here on a weekday after the lunch rush to check out the latest food offerings. A friendly team member welcomed and informed me that they sold out of ciabatta bread for the day but that everything else was available. After looking over the colorful wall menu, I decided to tap into my hunger (as well as my love for Seinfeld) and go with The Morty. The Morty comes with Pistachio Pesto, Mortadella, Burrata, Cracked Black Pepper, Arugula, Balsamic Glaze normally on Ciabatta but this time, I went with Focaccia. I sat at one of the half dozen bar seats inside and within 5 minutes my order was called. The packaging was your traditional white paper bundle, wrapped and sealed with yellow tape, anxiously awaiting me to tear it open. I conceded my temptations and was delighted to see a wonderfully colorful and inviting sandwich on my plate. The Morty was quite tasty. First of all, the bread was soft, fresh and phenomenal. The Mortadella and Burrata cheese were spectacular. Top notch quality and very rich and satisfying. The Black Pepper added a nice little kick, while the Arugula, Pesto and Balsamic Glaze perfectly complemented the rest of the sandwich with unique flavors and textures. It was a pretty good sized sandwich and priced on average with other competitive shops in the area. A few seats outside, a stocked and clean restroom for customers in the back. Parking is pretty open all along Washington Blvd. with plenty of 2-hour options on any of the side residential streets. The bread is the star here, with a simple menu that delights the senses without breaking the bank. Get there early before they sell out of the bread of your choice and enjoy a tasty Monroe Place sando. read more

Tried out Monroe Place recently and overall, it was a decent experience. We had the Italian Spaniard, Big Bambino, and the Morty--while the first two were fine, nothing really stood out flavor-wise. The Morty was the strongest of the bunch with a good balance and seasoning, but still not quite enough to make a lasting impression. The vibes were nice and the service was solid, but with so many great sandwich spots around, I'm not sure this one makes the repeat list for me. Glad we tried it, but probably won't be rushing back. read more

I've taken a bunch of my coworkers and friends to Monroe Place, and it looks like the word got out because I saw coworkers there my last trip. Monroe is a pretty darn good sandwich. It's definitely an artisan sandwich, I.e.good ingredients, high quality, rather than a regular ol sub. You can tell they take time to think about the pairings- jams and jellies and spreads. Salt fat and acid in all the right proportions. Super flavorful. The bread itself is top notch too. But beware the baguette is the type that'll cut the top of your mouth if you are a hasty eater like myself. My favorites are the Morty (mortadella, pistachio, balsamic, burrata) This is perfect on the ciabatta! The italian spaniard is also good, the nice shallot vinaigrette really packs a punch. I've pretty much stuck to these 2 as my go to sandwiches. read more

What I ordered: - "The giving tree" sandwich A friend of mine highly recommended this place and it did not disappoint! He said to get "the giving tree" sandwich which consists of herb turkey, gruyère cheese, granny smith apple, arugula, and a spicy sauce (consisting of hot sauce and kewpie mayo) on focaccia bread. The focaccia bread was cold, soft, and airy. The textures of this sandwich were magnificent, with the softness of the turkey and cheese with the crunch of the granny smith apples was a nice contrast. The balance of flavors were also impressive. The bitter arugula with savory turkey/gruyère, sweet apple, and subtle spice of the spread (consisting of hot sauce and kewpie mayo) created a delightful bite! read more

Just okay. Very small snack size sandwiches and advertised to use bub and grandmas bread, but it was only used for a small selection of their sandwiches. I was expecting a filling meal but my big bambino sandwich was really small with not a lot of filling either. The bread was also very hard.

We have been wanting to try this place for about a year. We finally did today and now we feel like dopes for wasting so much time. We had the fan favorite, "WLF" at the recommendation of the very friendly staff. It was one of the best sandwiches that we have had in a long time. They use very fresh ingredients on creatively thought out sammies. It was so good we bought the Italian Spaniard to take home and have with wine tonight. We highly recommend. read more

After refusing to stand in line for the opening of Helm's Bakery, we walked a few minutes down the street to find this smallish sandwich shop that already had a line forming around noon on Saturday. Parking available all over Washington so no issue there. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We decided to split the Italian Spaniard. Compared to many of the newer sandwich shops opening lately, $14 didn't seem all that bad and it was a good size. If I was nitpicking, I would say it needed a tomato or roasted red pepper but we ate the whole thing. Will definitely come back to try others - and especially to try that awesome smelling focacia! read more

I would drive by this place a million times and never see it. However, this place has amazing sandwiches and I would highly recommend it. Fresh ingredients, tasty sandwich combinations will definitely have me coming back to sample what else is there. The space is rather limited for seating so if you want to eat there, it's not for big groups. But if you are there with a couple of people you might be able to find a place to sit. Regardless, if you are nearby you should try it out! read more

The sandwiches are really good! Generous portion and the ingredients are super fresh and healthy. I ordered the Dilly Dally, which had chicken, lemon, pesto, dill, greek yogurt, and lots more. It was really refreshing with the herbs. Only con for me was the focaccia bread was a bit more burnt than what I would have liked, but that's a minor detail overall. I still really enjoed the sandwich. Also got a cucumber mint limeade and turned it into an arnold palmer, it was perfect! The store is more set up for a grab and go, not many places to sit and eat your food. Would definitely come back for a quick bite. read more

The sandwich felt full, bread seemed to be drizzled with olive oil a bit of mustard ask for more love if you like a more balanced flavor. I grabbed a bag of Zapp's. Overall, decent sandwich that is basic with no frills. Meat and arrúgala. Possibly open to give it another go. read more

Really a nice surprise for us. We had to give up on the carving board recently due to their inconsistent quality for the high price. Monroe place serves excellent sandwiches and the bread quality is fantastic. I always wish sandwich shops would include a bag of chips with the sandwich, given the high prices... However, Monroe place gets a pass as the quality of the service was great and friendly. The food quality especially the proteins were on point. If there is a negative, it's that the restaurant is quite small. So eating there is a bit of a challenge for busy times. read more

Small sandwich shop located along that Washington Boulevard stretch of Culver City. The place has great people serving great sandwiches. The prices weren't cheap, but they didn't feel extravagant especially compared to other mid to high-end sandwich shops these days. Since the place is small, there's limited seating on the inside and outside. But it feels like more of a takeout place. I ended up ordering the Big Bambino. It was either between that or the Serenity Now. They were out of focaccia bread for the day so it made up my mind. They said I could've substituted, but I wanted to try the sandwich as intended, so I'll get it next time. The Big Bambino had delicious soppressata, creamy burrata, some hot honey, a good amount of basil, and tomato confit served on a crunchy baguette. The flavors and textures were really balanced. I really enjoyed my sandwich and every bite of it. I came for a late lunch on Friday afternoon. There was a lot of street parking in the area. Most of it is metered. read more

Pictured here is the Matador's Daughter stuffed with avocado, manchego, sprouts, and Romanesco spread. It comes on ciabatta, but request it on a Bergerbites favorite, Bub and Grandma's bread. While waiting for your order, slip next door to @cogcoffee, another popular spot in the CC Arts District, for a latte made with the best beans in the city. Highly recommended. read more

My friend and I were recommended the WLF and Serenity Now as their top two sandwiches. Had we only ordered the WLF it would've been a 5 star. The WLF was a perfect sandwich. the sweetness of the berries balanced with the arugula and the fried shallots was just right. I will definitely think about this sandwich and might have to come back from San Diego to eat it again. Unfortunately The Serenity Now was underwhelming compared to the WLF. It's small little counter shop. The staff was super friendly and helpful. read more

It's lucky that there's now a wealth of wonderful sandwiches in Los Angeles, but few spots have sandwiches that are as well curated/crafted as those at Monroe place. Trust them on the bread options. They've done the R + D, and rather than making it in-house, they source their bread from the best bakeries in the city and use just the right ones for the texture you'll want on that particular sandwich. Opting for invention or fusion over traditional takes like Italian subs or a turkey with sprouts, you'll want to come here for sandwiches like the Court Street, which takes familiar flavors of roast beef and horseradish sauce and loads it up with crispy fried shallots that are both umami and sweet and make the whole thing just dance. And the W.L.F., an Iranian inspired take on a turkey sandwich with saffron mayo, barberries, those awesome fried shallots, and pomegranate molasses. That sandwich slaps. All the sandwiches here are good, but I've had most of them, and the ones that do their own spins on classic sandwiches are always the ones I want over and over. Great work, Monroe Place. Come early, they can sell out. And the cardamom tea is *chef's kiss*. read more

The bambino is on a crusty baguette and has a perfect combination of flavors between the burrata and the Calabrese chilies. The giving tree feels light but is stuffed full, the mayo is not too heavy so it's a perfect ratio. The lemonades and iced teas looked great too!

I have been twice. I got the Big Bambino and the Court Street. The sandwiches are on the smaller side. Personally I like more meat on my sandwich, especially when it's nearly $20 (including tax). There was a slice or two soppressata. The flavor was there just wish there was more of it. The court street is their take on a roast beef, which was dry. Service was great, friendly! Small shop with good seating around the corner. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood and will go back when I'm the area but won't go out of my way to get like Lorenzo California or Bread Head. There a small changes that could make a difference and put this place on the map. read more

When I went to order at the counter, the staff said we could sit and they were serve us, which I wasn't expecting at all! I really appreciate they that have both the fast-casual order style and the sit down and enjoy style duality to this restaurant. I got the chai latte and a hummus bowl with falafel (though as I write this I can't remember if that was the actual menu name of the dish). It was delicious--the falafel was one of the best I've ever had taste wise, and a bit on the airy side instead of being super dense, which I appreciated. Sometimes falafel is too dang dry, and they really got it right. The hummus was phenomenal. I'm really such a sucker for a good, quality hummus and it was so creamy and the oil they topped it with was wonderful too. The veggies were fresh and the pita was such a star: it was thick and chewy and clearly freshly made. Immediate 5 star for the food. So glad I stopped by here and will definitely be back!

The ambiance is perfect and the smell from the kitchen catch you as you walk in. We ordered a lot of dishes and shared family style among the 6 of us since the food curation is so unique. Everything tasted outstanding! All starters and mains were perfectly prepared and the bext in flavor and quality. We had the braised short rib, yellowfin tuna ceviche, whipped ricotta, mussel toast, grilled octopus, bavette steak, rainbow trout, and lamb sirloin. I seriously felt like I was one of those judges on a Food Network show with every first taste as it was THAT GOOD! The wine and beer selection was fantastic. I had a glass of the Marcio Lopes - Laranja and a glass of the Mammoth Pilsner. Our server, George, was fantastic and he ensured that our glasses were full and explained the preparation of every item. Plus he grabbed a snap of us prior to the meal. Thanks George! This was a memorable outing and I can't wait to come back during lunch time before I leave town. I can't recommend ESMÉ enough.

An authentic Indian restaurant that brings vibrant, aromatic flavors to the West L.A. area. Came…read morehere with one of my dearest friend who came down from NorCal to visit during one of the most challenging times of my life. The combination of friendship and delicious dishes delivered by Almost famous was soul-warming. Metered street parking only unfortunately, but service at the restaurant was excellent. Staff were friendly, courteous, patient, and were happy to go through the menu and make recommendations. You can tell they take pride in their dishes offered. They will check-in enough to ensure everything with the dining experience is going well, but not too frequently to impede on privacy. They have a breakfast/lunch (brunch) menu that they serve from 8am up until 2pm and a dinner menu that is available from 11am to 2pm & 5pm to 9:30pm. 1. Ginger & Cardamom Chai Latte (5/5) House-made chai with ginger and cardamom. If you like herbal spices, this drink was comforting and warming. It's not sweet, which I like and it paired well with the food dishes. 2. Crab Bhuna (4.75/5) Crab meat simmered in fragrant spices then topped with ginger, fennel seed, and curry leaves. It is served with soft, subtly sweet banana buns The crab meat was fresh and honestly, you couldn't even tell it's crab. It's seasoned perfectly with the aromatic Indian spices. The banana buns were interesting ... it was a bit on the dry side, but if you stuffed the airy pockets of the bun with the crab meat, it's not too bad. The banana bun had an interesting flavor profile; a mix of sweet-bitterness to it. 3. Sweet Potato Chaat (5/5) One of my favorite dishes here. It is sweet potato chunks mixed with a sauce blend of sweet corn, yogurt, tamarind, mint chutney and pomegranate. The sauce was light, refreshing, and tangy, balancing the natural sweetness of the sweet potato perfectly. 4. Brunch Dosa Rice & Lentil Crepe (4.75/5) Basically think of a crepe, but a super large size one. I just love their crepe - it was crispy yet doughy with a cheesy flavor. The crepe was stuffed with turmeric mashed potatoes. I typically do not like mash potatoes, but when it's served this way, I approve. The dish comes with a side of 3 sauces - sambar (lentil-based vegetable curry that's often seasoned with coriander seeds, cumin, fenugreek, dry red chilies), curry, coconut and tomato chutney. A perfect dish for sharing and for trying out the various flavors of Indian cuisine. 5. Wagyu Beef Keema Kulcha (4.5/5) Minced Wagyu beef that's seasoned well with aromatic spices and onion inside an Indian leavened flat bread. Highly recommend and will be back to try out other dishes!

We went there on a sunday, which was fortunate for us and easy day to find free parking on the street. The interior is beautifully designed, sleek and cozy We ordered one of the popular spinach and mozzarella flatbreads, there are popular paneer and we shared the special dosa platter. Everything was beautifully plated and very generous portions We want to go back for dinner try more of their savory dishes and definitely come back for brunch because they do have both American and Indian options to choose from.. and the French toast looked amazing! At Almost Famous to your foodie must try list!

Sure, it gets busy sometimes, but the quality of the food and ingredients here is always so good and the portion sizes are perfect.

I love their Modern Caesar Salad, Not so Fried Chicken Sandwich, Farm Club Sandwich, and Turkey Avo Salsa Verde Sandwich. They also had great seasonal items as well! For this location, you can park at the Culver Steps or at any of the parking garages nearby for 1 hour of free parking!

I do wish they'd bring back a couple of my old favorites, especially the vegan Reuben and the Impossible taco salad. Those were standouts. Thankfully, they still have the vegan bánh mì on the menu, which never disappoints. It's consistently flavorful, fresh, and satisfying--definitely a reliable choice if you're looking for a solid vegan option. Parking was easy; we left the car in one of the nearby garages and took a short walk over. Between the great weather, the patio seating, and a dependable vegan sandwich, it made for a really enjoyable lunch.

The packaging is perfection - thoughtful, organized, and clearly designed with events in mind. The sandwiches were top-notch: delicious focaccia, high-quality meats, and amazing flavor. Every single bite was impressive. Our guests couldn't stop talking about them. The sandwiches went fast (always a good sign!), and the chips, cookies, and popcorn were equally loved. It was a huge hit across the board. If you're looking for catering that's easy, elevated, and guaranteed to please a crowd, you can't go wrong with Vesty. I'll absolutely be calling them again and would 100% recommend them for your next event.

I think out of all the places I've traveled to so far, my favorite would have to be Italy. During a…read morelazy afternoon after visiting the Pantheon in Rome, we had our first experience with All'Antico after taking a 5 minute walk down the road. They actually had 2 separate locations flanking the pedestrian road, so there were two long lines snaking out in opposite directions. While we were waiting in line, we bumped into a couple from Spain who were also visiting. They gave my wife some personal recommendations, advising we get the blood orange soda with our sandwiches. After getting said sandwiches (the La Paradiso), we nibbled on them while walking to Sant'Ignazio of Loyola Church, which is that cathedral where there's a mirror directed up towards the murals on the ceiling and a huge selfie line. Hot damn were those sandwiches good. The thinly sliced mortadella paired perfectly with that buttery, green pistachio spread. The only challenge for my taste buds was the mild oral trauma I sustained from punching through the crispy bread; your gums started to feel it by the time you devoured your sandwich. But we liked it so much that when we later took the train to Florence, we sought All'Antico again at their original location. I thought that would be my last experience with All'Antico (unless, of course, I came back to Italy). So imagine my surprise when later that year I heard All'Antico had coincidentally opened a branch in Los Angeles, although rather awkwardly situated in Koreantown. Even though we live 30 minutes away, we made the drive immediately. There was no way this remote All'Antico location, thousands of miles from Italy, would live up to the experience I had in Rome earlier that year. But I was mistaken. Not only is the taste spot on, but the bread they serve is actually chewier and removed the gum calisthenics I suffered in Italy. And yes, they also have the blood orange soda as well. It's a little weird their location is in Koreatown, but not a big deal; we'll usually do a bingsu run afterward. Just like their locations in Italy, All'Antico is small but they do have a small collection of bar seats, some of which overlook the staff as they're making your sandwich. Be mentally prepared though to take it to go depending on how busy it is. Parking sucks too; there's street parking only, but if you come on Sunday you don't have to pay. Every so often now, we'll make the 30 minute drive just to relive that slice of Italy we experienced nearly 2 years ago. Thankfully, not a lot of people recognize how good this place is yet, as the lines aren't crazy long like they are in Italy. For all the other Yelpers in on it too, let's keep it our little secret for now.
