    #6 Turkey, Ham, and Bacon
    Kyle V.

    Stopped in for a quick bite to eat before flying back home. Very convenient location to the airport and the food was quick! I went with the #6, which is ham, turkey, and bacon. I had them add everything except tomato's and onions. The bread was so soft and delicious and everything seemed so fresh. The prices were reasonable and the dining room was clean. This was a busy spot at lunch with a lot of regulars grabbing takeout orders or grabbing a seat. We will definitely be back.

    Meatball sandwich.  Super soft bread and big meaty meatballs!
    Roger S.

    Love coming here with co workers when I'm in town. I wish they had a small business like this in my city! Great sandwiches every time. Stop by and see for yourself!

    Normally this is my jam. Sometimes places have off days and I'm ok with that. Ordered a lettuce wrap and they didn't have full leaves but gave me my Sammy on a bed of lettuce 2 Thumbs up. Just a note: Please next time don't include the turkey rinds. They're hard and distasteful and I feel I don't get a full serving of turkey.

    The #5 the Italian bomber. Ham, salami, pepperoni, and pepperoncini.

    This place is tucked away in a business district but don't sleep on it! It is clean, quick, and service was great! After reading the reviews I went with the #5 the Italian bomber! I paid $14 for the chips, drink, and sandwich. The bread and meats were super fresh and great! I will have to try the turkey avocado next time. They have potato salad and macaroni salad as well and they cater! Give this local business a shot!

    Mostly pickle pastrami
    Bobbie J.

    Two large sliced pickles to start with came this way. Lots of bread. To start with, the bread is soft but should go with cold sandwiches, not hot pastrami that would go better with a French role. The pickles were thicker than the pastrami on the sandwiches ordered. The pastrami had good flavor. The price was good for what we got. The service was good and nice restaurant.

    Vegetarian

    Seriously do not understand how this place has over 4 stars. I tried once and it was good. I went back and it was terrible. I thought, maybe they had a bad day and my friends and I tried again....waste of money. Most recently we tried again (yesterday) and we are done! Look at my photo and see if this vegetarian looks like it's worth $10. Come one, how hard is it to put mayo mustard and veggies between bread....the sandwich was mostly bread and truly a disappointment. They clearly don't care about the customer, so 4 out of 4 of us will not recommend or return to this place. What a disappointment.

    #8 Turkey, Bacon, and Avocado Sub, side of potato salad
    Stephanie L.

    My 100th review HAS to go to my favorite local sandwich shop, Shorty's! Seriously, I crave Shorty's whenever I think about sandwiches- no one does it like them! I was first introduced to Shorty's when I started working nearby. They have a deal if you work in the area; a combo is $6-7 instead of regular price ($6-8 sandwich, add $2.50 to make it a combo)! A combo comes with the sandwich, chips/or Mac salad/potato salad, and a drink! This is a STEAL because the sandwiches are LOADED!! They don't skimp on the meat!! I get full off of half of the sandwich! My fave is the Italian bomber- ham, salami, pepperoni, and peppers. The BEST! The Turkey, Bacon, Avocado and the club are great as well! Really you can't go wrong with Shorty's!

    Ordered as part a group order. Specifically stated no tomato because of an allergy. It's written on the invoice and box. Opened up the sandwich and it had tomato. Ordered jalapeño chips and I received a small bag of Doritos. There were multiple issues with our order, so we will not be ordering from here again.

    Meatball sub
    Lionel V.

    First time eating here and I ordered the meatball sub. I must say it was really good. I have heard so many good things about this place and finally got a chance to try it. A must try for sure.

    Surprising good for a restaurant in an industrial park. My only complaint is that the bread, while good, is way to dense for my tastes.

The croissant; buttery, airy, soft yet crispy. You literally cannot go wrong here. You could tell everything was made with love and passion.

    I came to JL Patisserie expecting to spend five minutes picking up sourdough starter…read more Instead, I found one of the busiest--and most impressive--Saturday morning bakeries I've visited in Phoenix. After searching online, I called one of JL Patisserie's other locations to ask whether they sold sourdough starter. The employee told me to head to the South 24th Street bakery because it was the location selling fresh starter that day. As someone who's just getting into sourdough baking, I really appreciated being pointed in the right direction before making the drive. When I arrived around 7:45 on a Saturday morning, the parking lot was overflowing. After circling for several minutes I finally found a spot, only to discover a line nearly reaching the door. Normally that might discourage me, but after walking inside it became obvious why so many people were willing to wait. The first thing that surprised me was the bakery itself. From the website, I had expected something that felt a bit older. Instead, the interior was bright, clean, modern, and beautifully designed. The open bakery, sleek white finishes, updated equipment, and thoughtfully arranged displays immediately gave the space a polished feel while still feeling warm and welcoming. The pastry case was just as impressive. There were rustic artisan loaves, oversized cookies, cinnamon rolls, pecan sticky buns, savory pastries, specialty Cruffins like the Banana Dulce de Leche and Cherry Cereal, along with a seasonal drink menu featuring items like the Biscoff Cookie Cold Brew, Hawaiian Latte, and Strawberry Cloud Matcha. Everything looked fresh and intentionally displayed--it was honestly difficult to decide what to order. I originally planned to leave with only the sourdough starter, but ended up adding the Quiche Lorraine, which was excellent once I got home. The crust stayed wonderfully flaky, and the filling was rich and flavorful without feeling overly heavy. The staff made an already great experience even better. They patiently answered my beginner questions about caring for sourdough starter and never made me feel rushed, despite how busy the bakery was. My total came to roughly $22, including the quiche, sourdough starter, tax, tip, and I walked away feeling like it was an excellent value for the quality of the products and service I received. I'd especially recommend JL Patisserie for adults looking for a leisurely morning coffee or pastry, anyone interested in artisan baking, or those wanting something beyond a typical neighborhood coffee shop. Families are certainly welcome, but this is an order-at-the-counter bakery that can get quite busy on weekend mornings, so arriving early is probably your best bet. I came looking for sourdough starter and ended up finding a bakery I'll be making excuses to return to. Places like this are more than just somewhere to grab breakfast--they become part of a neighborhood, bringing people together over good food and good conversation. It's easy to see why JL Patisserie has developed such a loyal following.

Afterwards, he mentioned that he tasted it and agreed about our comments- I appreciate that level of attention. Shortly after, the food arrived. Spicy pork tacos for me, and BLTA for my wife. The tacos looked a little overdressed. I was so wrong. Flavor and texture were balanced perfectly. The tortillas were firm, but again, perfectly suited to the juicy pork, that had a teriyaki vibe.
