Roast beef sandwich
Benjamin S.

Monroe Place is quickly becoming a go-to when I'm in Culver City. Haven't had a bad sandwich yet, and the bread is even better toasted. The WLF is my new favorite. Great ingredients and great people

The W.L.F.
Afi P.

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.

Jamón & The Giant Peach
Misa O.

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.

hallf the sandwich and my drink!

Monroe Place has become one of my favorite Culver spots. I dream of the WLF and highly recommend pairing it with the mini cookies from Lei'd and an Olipop. Soooooo so so good anytime I have guests over, I take them here.

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.

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.

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!

*The Giving Tree*
Paige G.

My neighbor has wanted to come here for awhile and we were not disappointed! The ambiance is chill, you can sit (high stool) or stand at the counter and eat inside. There were also a few low tops outside. Staff was patient and informative. Will definitely be back. It's in a cute little strip of shops on Washington. Plenty of free 2-hour parking in the neighborhood.

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!

Alicia L.

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.

All of my tastebuds danced at the first bite. You fill out a sheet that is left near the counter by the menu's to either build your own or select one of the signature dishes. Note, they do also have Halal options which is a HUGE plus! Their Deli menu is meant to be enjoyed by all, handful of vegetarian options as well. I'd recommend extra toasted love to any sandwich or panini as it is an option on the sheet you fill out. Stepping into the back patio lounge area, there are many tables and seating places to choose from. Theres almost a sense of peace and serenity you experience while in the patio. Theres koi fish, shaded areas and a very cool pizza station! Plenty of seating, I noticed there was a late morning rush but there was still plenty of room for all to sit and enjoy the summer weather. My only side note that may deter people wanting to visit, parking may be hard to find given that this Market place is splat in the middle of a residential part of Culver City. There is a park a few blocks over from the market, grab your food and drinks and enjoy that open space as well if you're introverted but would still like to experience what Jackson Market has to offer.

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.

This location on Wilshire Blvd in Koreatown is the smallest of the three I've visited, with under 10 seats available. It's a compact shop, and most customers opt for takeout. It's a narrow shop, and most customers take their orders to-go. I've previously enjoyed the La Paradiso and La Toscana, with the La Paradiso being my personal favorite. For our first visit with our son, we asked the staff for recommendations, and they suggested either the Venice Beach (Turkey) or the New Yorker (Roast Beef). The staff was incredibly generous, offering a roast beef sample, which our son loved! We also appreciated them providing ice and straws for our water. We ordered the New Yorker ($19.00) with roast beef, porcini cream, tomato, and arugula. The sandwich was thoughtfully cut in half, perfect for sharing. The schiacciata bread boasts a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, which beautifully complements the meats and cheeses. We opted to substitute the porcini cream for mozzarella, which was sliced into perfect bite-sized pieces and tasted incredibly fresh. The roast beef was thinly sliced and tender, the tomatoes were fresh and sliced to perfection, and the arugula added a delightful peppery crunch. It's a well-balanced sandwich and one of the best in LA. We would definitely order it again. A big thank you to the female staff member who expertly cut the meat and offered samples, assisting us in making the perfect choice for my son's sandwich. This experience was truly a positive one for our family. I would definitely return to AAV for the excellent food and service. Given the small size of the shop, takeout is recommended, especially during peak hours. The sandwiches at AAV are so good! Fuggedaboutit!
