I ordered the Matador's Wife sandwich with avocado. I also grabbed an Olipop Peaches & Cream and a bag of Zapp's Sweet Creole Onion chips. The sandwich was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, and the avocado was a great addition that made it even more satisfying. The flavors all came together really well, and every bite had a nice balance without anything overpowering the rest. It was a generous portion and definitely filled me up. The Olipop Peaches & Cream was smooth and refreshing, and the Zapp's Sweet Creole Onion chips were packed with flavor and added the perfect crunch alongside the sandwich. The restaurant had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and attentive. My order came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. Overall, it was a great lunch. I'd definitely recommend Monroe Place, and I'll be back to try more of the sandwiches on the menu. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The WLF is an absolute must-order and completely lived up to the hype. Herb turkey, saffron mayo, cucumber, pistachios, barberries, pomegranate molasses, crispy shallots, and arugula on focaccia... sounds unconventional on paper but WOW , perfection. so incredibly well balanced. I was hoping to try the Dilly Dally, but they had already switched to the Brutus chicken salad sandwich, which was still very tasty. That said, the WLF was the clear winner. They have counter seating inside and ample outdoor seating, but also seems more of a stop and go place. Def worth a stop! read more

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 tried both the W.L.F. and the Big Bambino, and (hot take) I liked the Big Bambino better. It gives bougie hot honey pizza vibes. The WLF was dry in my opinion, and the bread was a bit chewy. Overall, I'd say its worth exploring the menu. Online ordering is easy. I suggest ordering online early, before they sell out for the day - and watch the IG! read more

I stumbled across this sandwich spot as I was walking around Culver City, and was curious about the hype because there were people lining up outside before they even opened. The service was excellent, and the cashier at the counter was very helpful as a first time visitor deciding what I should order. I don't quite remember what I purchased, but it was some sort of roast beef sandwich with arugula, crispy shallots, and romesco on focaccia. The bread is the star of the show here, it was incredibly fresh and fluffy with some flaky salt on top. The other components were also top notch, everything was really well balanced and felt super high quality. They seemed to sell out pretty quickly as we were sitting out front for awhile enjoying our meal, so going early is the best move! 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. Not quite worth the price for me but I'm glad to have tried it. 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

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

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

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

Had a real quick trip here recently, and I'd be less and honest if I didn't say I was a bit bummed…read more I actually found what I came here for (I needed some British double heavy cream) for a particular dish, though I couldn't help but reminisce when this location used to be in Culver city. There are a number of reasons why the Culver City location was so much better, but perhaps the main drawback at this LA location is the fact that the former had a real sense of ambiance, and uniqueness, particularly when it came to its cozy little cafe section. Now the "cafe" is pretty much just a space within a space. Another real draw to the Culver City location was the fact that they actually had a separate section where "Guest Chefs" could come in and teach entire classes via cooking classes that sometimes you have to sign up for in advance, and other times you could just kind of walk in on it. That was dope! And while the staff was friendly enough, and again ( don't get me wrong it's still a place that I will be back to to purchase much needed product), it's just an unfortunate reality that sometimes no....you can't duplicate the past.

It is a thoroughly stocked Italian food market with truffles, fresh pastas, desserts, and delicious food for here or to-go. As well, there's a large private room that looks ready for a large family or company to sit back and relax while dining in. I've had delicious meatballs to-go, as well as one of the finest espressos, enjoyed on the premises. I've returned to get fresh pastas and jarred truffles and have been tempted by the desserts. So much to choose from here - with a wide range of prices, too. You could easily find provisions for your pantry, as well as for stocking up specifically to host a party. Spaccio Salumeria has been in business for some time now, and they radiate a well-earned confidence matched by pleasant, low pressure customer service. It's not exactly around the corner for me, but any opportunity to return here will always be worthy of the effort to do so.

I have past here many times and it is basically a frozen butchery…read more I thought there would be actual butchers cutting to order and a live seafood service, but that is not the case. The place is spotless inside and well stocked, and the location is right at Washington and Lincoln on the corner with plenty of parking. I was the only person in the place and they have plenty of friendly help. As a first time customer, I purchased the gourmet Salsa ($5.48), Surimi Sticks ($3.98), two Rib Eye Steaks ($23.21) and the Beef Hot Dogs at $5.00 per package. I have not used the items yet, but everything looks great from a presentation standpoint and I get the feeling it will be fine. Very clean and well presented, the pricing is better than COSTCO or WHOLE FOODS. Located at 2570 Lincoln, the number is 1-833-300-9453 and there are no refunds or exchanges. I will be back. RECOMMEND!

All items are frozen because some of what they offer really needs to be, deer, for example. They have meats you will not find anywhere else, and the prices are super fair. We first went there because out St. Bernard must eat a lot of food and is ever so picky. We have always made her food fresh every day, but one day she decided, this steak is not for me, burger, shove it. She even refused chicken. I went on line and talked to friends who said get her deer, and kangaroo. Okay, so I searched and found Wild Fork. I ordered on line because I had no idea they were down the street from me. We cooked it up and she is eating again. We then went there and had the best service you can imagine. Fila knew everything from fat content to calories. We bought Elk, Kangaroo, chicken with all the parts in it, Bison and Venison. Heidi, the dog is in heaven. It all looked so great, we decided to try it. Bison burgers are great. Venison burgers are great. I did not love the Kangaroo, but my husband did and the Elk is just so tasty. And all of it is healthy and you can freeze it for months or just defrost and cook. We can't wait to try their seafood and steaks, but right now it appears we are on the dog's diet. We could not be happier with this place and now go every week. Thank you so much Fila for being so kind and patient. I think my husband has a wee crush. That's fine, Heidi will trade him for meat any day of the week. This is a must stop.

Haute Mess literally does it all! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, gelato - they can do anything…read more They open at 7am which is amazing for me to pop in while I'm doing a morning walk for their coffee. They have a ton of exciting options when it comes to caffeination! Like with everything here, the options are endless for coffee. I've actually eaten here many times and must say that the sandwiches are delicious but are truly a haute mess! Meaning they have so many ingredients are so packed with deliciousness that I always need a bunch of napkins as an egg oozes out or arugula falls all over. That being said, some highlights of things I've had are their meatball sub that was 1000% better than anything you'd get from Subway. I've also tried the pastrami sandwich and loved it. I absolutely love the Grappa di Mattina with Fresh-Cracked Eggs, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Fresh Tomato, Avocado, Arugula and Aioli on Sourdough Toast! The only thing that was disappointing was the bread got very soggy and the sandwich kind of fell apart when eating it. So eat all their sandwiches asap after ordering, preferably when still in the shop. Their chocolate chip cookies are a great deal at 4 for $6.50 and are solid 4 star cookies. They also have a mini market inside with a ton of wine and other liquor options, a gelato stand with a lot of options or you can grab prepacked pints, so many gorgeous desserts done beautifully. There's just so many options when you come here! Haute Mess has such a huge menu that I can keep trying new things each time I'm in. And thus far, nothing has disappointed me! I'll definitely be back to keep working my way through their eats.

Jackson market as a whole in terms of ambiance, variety, taste definitely overtakes bay cities but if you're just talking about comparing food quality sand which to sand which it will be a tough TIE (it's not less) than bay cities. Bay cities is loaded and so is Jackson but bay cities is a little more juicier where the inside sandwich ingredients shine more and you can definitely taste each of the ingredients eg banana peppers meats deli cheese etc. Jackson market's Italian sub had harder bread but I could see like some would argue it's more balanced. It definitely is a little less juicy and even though there were complimentary banana peppers I hardly tasted it at all as it was sprinkled far and few. If you paid for an added topping eg. Jalepenos they were definitely generous with it. Tip: DO NOT get the French baguette toasted as it'll be too hard. The market is fun because it also offers wine selections ($20-$60), not a fun cheese selection like bay cities, pasta salad, bomb tiramisu, has an entire PIZZA OVEN in the back, fun canned drinks including GUAYABA (an aloe tasting like drink), pastries, and chips/snacks. Ambiance - the patio in the back is spacious and big. They don't allow you to bring a computer to work there and the WiFi and service is pretty bad there. Parking - street parking along residential homes 2 subs ($14.99/each), 2 drinks, 1 large chip ($4.95) came out to be around $44. Overall an amazing find. The 10/10 would come back & especially try the pizza. Revolutionary in food taste ? Probably not but revolutionary in enjoyability and spot find? 1000%. Happy munching !

Last Saturday, I decided to switch things up and try Monroe Place instead of my usual go-to spot in the area, and I'm so glad I did. Tucked away in Culver City, this small sandwich shop almost feels like a hidden gem. I was a little hesitant at first, but after reading so many positive reviews, I figured it was time to see what the hype was about for myself. I ordered the W.L.F., which comes with saffron mayo, cucumber, barberries, pistachios, arugula, pomegranate molasses, crispy shallots, and herb turkey served on focaccia bread. Talk about a unique combination of ingredients! Some of these flavors were completely new to me, but they all came together beautifully. Every bite had a little bit of sweetness, crunch, freshness, and richness. The focaccia bread was especially fresh and delicious, and it held everything together perfectly. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is simply the portion size. While the sandwich was phenomenal, I felt like it could have used a little more turkey. The quality was definitely there, I just wanted a bit more of it. Service was fine, though not particularly memorable. The shop itself is small, with limited seating inside and a few tables outside. It's not the kind of place you'd linger for hours, but it's comfortable enough to enjoy your meal. Overall, I was really impressed and will absolutely be back. Next time, I might even order two sandwiches and split them with a friend so I can try more of the menu. If you're looking for something different from the usual sandwich spot, Monroe Place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Pairing one with a drink is the move. It honestly made me feel like I was in Europe. The vibe is great, service is quick, and I highly recommend stopping by whether you're grabbing something to go or hanging out. Just go and try it. You won't regret it.

The family has long been buttering up and slopping depressed red sauce to the elite of the entertainment industry with their restaurant, Madeo, once located in an anaemic echoey basement on Beverly Blvd. Fortunately for me, my family pre-dates the "Hollywood" migration to Los Angeles, I have never felt the need to be a part of the entertainment industry circle jerk, both literally and figuratively - I do not take their advice on where to eat. This venture, La Finestra di Bianca, is run by the Vietina families two nepo baby sons along with pastry chef Federico Fernandez. To say the baked goods were mediocre would be to compliment Federico with a gusto he and his bread are most likely incapable of rising to. Upon my arrival to the bakery the only greeting received was from that day's pizza by the slice, which sat limped and dribbled atop the counter with an apathetic delight. I glanced at the pastry case "meh". I ordered some pastries "meh". I ate the pastries "meh". Kind of like writing this review, my boredom set in quickly. Thankfully, there are a number of great bakeries around the area. I quickly retreated to one, cleansed my palate, and carried on with the beauty of the day.

The menu has all their items with new prices "stickered" on them to reflect new prices. Personality would be a way to explain this place and under appreciate it. I scanned the menu and saw it. Chili cheese hot dog. The man behind the counter strongly recommended it and I'm thankful he did. His jubilant personality showed how much he loved his customers and servicing them. So what about the food? Much like the place it was nostalgic and very good. It reminded me of a chili cheese hot dog that you might ask your mom to make. Nicely grilled, perfectly melted to serve someone in your personality. Try this place out. I've only had the chili cheese hot dog but this experience wants me to go back for more.
