Breadlam

Kera Periwinkle

My girlfriend and I visited Breadlam for the first time over the weekend on an invite to try them out. I got three of their fancy sandwiches: Beef Blvd, 43rd Ave and Holder. My girlfriend can't eat things that are too high in carbs and sugar (she's diabetic), so she was able to order Beef Blvd as a salad bowl. She lives for spicy food, so she was really excited about the spicy mayo. It had a nice kick to it. I really appreciated all the drink options. I dislike places that only offer fountain drinks and plastic bottled waters. Breadlam had such a large variety of canned and glass bottled beverages to choose from. There was both flat and sparkling water as well as fancy lightly sweetened soft drinks from Sanzo. I have a sweet tooth so I was excited about my 43rd and Holder sandwiches. I enjoyed 43rd Ave a lot but Holder was too much, even for a sugar fiend like me. I ended up scraping up most of the membrillo and honey off it but it was still overly sweet for me. I wouldn't get it again but I'm glad I got to try it. I definitely recommend the Beef Blvd and 43rd Ave though. The high quality ingredients and thoughtful flavor combinations really stuck out. In addition to the fact that all the sandwiches can be made into low-carb salad bowls, both vegetarian and vegan options are offered as well. I love that they try to cater to as many dietary preferences as possible. The sandwiches are a little on the pricier side but you have to consider the location (in the middle of the Arts District), so it isn't cheap to operate a business there. The shop itself was small but there was a nice little outside dining area (about four tables, I think). My girlfriend was so happy with her experience there. Parking is tough. It's hard to find street parking, so you usually end up in a paid lot just for the time and convenience. The owner was really great, super friendly, provided great service. Overall, from quality of food to ambiance, I would recommend and revisit this shop.

Used to work around the corner, and this is my go-to place for lunch. Food: amazing sandwiches. Off the regular menu, Beef Blvd is my favorite. Valencia is my favorite vegi/vegan option. For their specials, Sweet Blue is hands down the best. The cheese, meat, greens, and bread are always fresh. Get the pickels! Service: always polite and prompt. They are essentially a three person team from what I have seen. Calling in an order or online is recommended if you plan around lunch (12:00 to 1:00 pm). Atmosphere: is great. They just absorbed the boutique next to them, so they now have some indoor seating

I love love love this place! The sandwiches are so simple but the ingredient pairings are just chefs kiss ✨ Tommy really knows what he’s doing. My typical go to is the Ironwood with turkey and I like to get the 43rd Ave as a dessert sandwich 😋 The 43rd isn’t always on the menu but I can confirm that they always have the ingredients.

I ordered the mozzarella with pesto sandwich, I decided to add a little turkey meat into mine and it was delicious! The service was quick, less than 5 mins from when I ordered.

Wanted to love this place based on the reviews and pictures, but unfortunately it wasn’t for us. The sandwiches were dry and kind of messy (the paper rips when you open it so a double wrap would be nice). Service was amazing but sandwiches weren’t for us.
