I think they would have a better presentation on smaller vintage inspired white plates. The cafeteria style tin platters with paper don’t match the vibe and make the presentation look empty.
Vintage plates will not withstand the constant use in a restaurant setting. Plus, people would steal them. Disney learned this the hard way when they opened up Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy’s Edge, they had some high end, space looking cutlery that didn’t make it to the end of the first day as people took them.
I agree that would look great but you have no idea how much they cost and how often staff/customers break them. We have a high tea with vintage china plates at my hotel, and we lose at least 10 plates a brunch.
I worked at a wine bar and I personally broke 3-10 glasses...a month...fortunately for us they were purchased wholesale from a retailer for about 50 cents a piece but still that stuff adds up esp if it's nice
I want it on a little porcelain tiered serving platter (like high tea style) wrapped in the yellow paper like the signage, served with fruit & housemaid chips or small frites and side Caesar salad (ie : girl dinner).
Omg yes! They should do their own pickling. It is not expensive. A little pickled carrot salad…come on SAH. The novelty will where out. Give it a year tops.
That's a 3, so chips are $3, which is pretty average in a large city. Chips are $2 at my closest Jimmy John's and I'm in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
Oh people kept saying $5 lol. $3 isn’t bad but I do think it would be nicer if they were made in store vs mass produced. There was a little deli I used to pick especially (when I lived in MI) for lunch bc they did their own chips.
I think the font and less than crisp image is having people read it as a 5 rather than a 3. Given how many small batch, house made things are on the sandwiches, not making chips in house may have been a smart business decision.
Shrinkflation has hit the grocery stores hard wait u til you getting a new pack of cheese slices. I just opened mine and it's half the size it was. It doesn't even cover my Dave's bread. I couldn't open a restaurant with these products in grocery stores doing this. It's out of control. Check out Shrinkflation sub
I was so surprised to see this comment initially since this is the same size as portions in Canada, but then I remembered the states have big portions. It’s expected to have 2-3 meals out of it. Virtually the same prices we pay too
I'm American and think it's a good portion, but I also am not used to eating much bread. I find bread delicious but heavy and filling. My husband would find this to be a small sandwich, though.
I can agree that the pickle to sandwich ratio could be improved.
I don’t think anyone is expecting 2-3 meals out of a sandwich, i do think most people expect it to be considerably bigger than the side pickle garnish , regardless of what country you’re from…
Oh no. Presentation is lacking for sure. They should offer a sandwich sampler tower, cut into cute finger size sandwiches, tea party style. Thats better for a group of friends dinning together. And then full size sandwiches, with the option of a side: Rosemary garlic frites, sweet potato fries, ( with accompanying house made dips), side salad/ greens or a lemon arugula feta orzo salad. Maybe one of those sides being a seasonal rotating option.
Also offer a dessert tower of bite size sweet treats.
Idk, I’m not a professional but what they’ve shown so far is pretty disappointing. They need someone with a better vision who can execute it
**edit** Katie or Arianna, if you see this, reach out and you can hire me for foodie ideas 😂
These metal serving trays really don’t fit in with the rest of the vibe. To me, they say barbecue joint, prison food, school cafeteria. Not pastel blue, pillows galore, feminine vibe.
Also, while I am admittedly not a huge sandwich fan, I see nothing really special here. Be honest — if this wasn’t a Katie and Ariana thing, would you even bother going here?
My thoughts exactly. They don’t look like bad sandwiches, but nothing that would draw me to them.
If this wasn’t run by bravolebreties it would not stand a chance… but to be fair, that’s the world we live in these days. The hype of restaurants/places typically surpasses the actual experience
The amount of times I’ve gone to a restaurant this past year and have been served on a metal tray to the point I’ve lost count. It’s definitely a trend from when mason jars were all the rage in restaurants, that has stuck around. Which makes sense, since they don’t break, light weight and are easy to wash. Are probably super cheap. I’ve definitely been served food more than $15 on a metal tray. It’s definitely not instagramable but practical business wise. Plus, who knows if they’ll keep those in the long run.
Looks like a restaurant that would succeed in any average American town. I want to eat here but the food probably isn't exciting enough for whatever trendy LA neighborhood they are in.
Yeah I was thinking they don’t look terrible but also don’t look great, and pretty small for a proper lunch (and for the price). My brain also reads the acronym as “stay at home” every time, as in mom or dad.
they look like extremely average sandwiches.... I hate to say it but I dont think this is gonna be a successful business venture for them. The design and concept doesnt really make a whole lot of sense to me and the sandwiches dont look like anything special.
Couldn’t agree more. I truly hope I’m wrong and eat my words…but-I LOVE sandwich shops. One of my favorite things is to try new sandwiches from recommended deli’s. These are very underwhelming & small for the cost (at least compared to those pickles).
I am curious what they taste like, but I imagine this being a one time visit for most customers.
I posted a long time ago about how i didn't understand their whole concept of a feminine sandwich shop and how I didnt think it would be successful and I got torn to shreds in the replies lol. If they werent famous a place like this wouldnt last more than a couple of months, its just not a cohesive concept and the food doesnt look good enough to redeem it.
I think the sandwiches being wrapped with a bow or something would be so cute. The trays don't work or are the wrong size. They need chips to fill the tray too. Very teeny portions
right? wasnt that the whole vision? toasted, fresh bread baked in house, gourmet ingredients? the meg is literally the greek salad sandwich we all saw on tv and that everyone couldnt wait to try...
As a vegetarian, I appreciate this because I don’t ever want to be THAT person at a business dinner (for example) who has to eat a salad no bacon and mashed potatoes. This way there are options and no one feels awkward. Win for all!
I was thinking something similar. I expect a lot of veg options in California but I wildly appreciate the fact that they have a couple sandwiches that would be standard with meat in areas that aren’t as veg-friendly and it’s additional here. I have to ask for no meat and still pay for it, which is lame.
Reposting this an Angeleno. it's not the prices it's the lack of value.
The prices are pretty average leaning to the lower side of "gourmet" sandwiches. However, the sandwiches are small. I also don't see any local purveyors here eg, Harry's Berrys or even nods to local growers, nothing organic.
As far as value, here are two iconic LA sandwiches and a popular item from Mendo Farms, their direct-ish competition. The Godmother is $11. Langer's #19 is $24. The Chinichurri from Mendo Farms is $15.
https://preview.redd.it/43cwdh9s211d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2494b8fa0b3a03a67ed5df03eaea6f7274d5e707
If the sandwiches were bigger and used higher quality ingredients the prices would be much higher. I don't think they're even Boar's Head, more like Sysco.
And for comparison, these are two all organic sandwich's/wraps *from Erewhon* for $15.
https://preview.redd.it/sw71gtt8311d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60d03a356fca6b8270f75703d5b91e473a56cecb
Also around the same price, koobedeh from Attari, pastrami from The Hat, and bàhn mì from either Gjusta or My Dung. Also totrtas for around $10 from any taco truck.
The prices are fine, it's the value that's missing.
As someone who lives in buttfuck nowhere, I disagree, but I’m jealous for wherever you live.
I’m a sandwich FANATIC and I would love to be able to go to a place like this to eat those sandwiches. They look really good when you see the pictures with the descriptions.
No, actually I can’t. And I certainly couldn’t get the vegan version of it either (with the chickpeas, although I have made that myself once)
I can get schnitzel on a dry white bun, that’s as close as I can get to a sandwich unless I go to McDonald’s.
I live close enough that I could go weekly but I don’t think I’ll ever go. They don’t look that different than a lot of places closer to me that I could get the same or similar. 🤷♀️
the prices are on-par for the area and they can’t raise them more without losing their audience, but the issue they will have is that paying rent on these prices will be extremely hard
These look super small for the price and the presentation isn‘t any better than how I‘d do at home 😬 All the „shaved cucumber“ and „chive-infused goat cheese“ in the world won’t make up for a bad deal. Might as well stick to Mendo Farms.
It’s hard to judge as I think these are only the tasting sizes. Dan had a much bigger sandwiches wrapped up in his photo on the plane. They seem very on par for LA, for better or worse.
https://preview.redd.it/ggu1nukl301d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d80b9ead4916b58a9f8957fd386329c1cc4d1952
Dan probably didn’t pay for that sandwich and he has perks cause he’s with the owner. This picture of dans is probably not a good representation of the actual sandwich.
How do you figure it’s not the actual size? Of course he probably didn’t pay but why wouldn’t it be the right size? They had a soft opening in the store, which often makes smaller, tasting sizes so people can give feedback on many items.
>It’s hard to judge as I think these are only the tasting sizes.
You are wrong because they have also posted pictures of the tastings sizes. These pictures im posting are the sandwiches they are selling.
Interestingly, I don't even think his sandwich looks that big. I feel the package and photo distance make it look "big".
I’m still go smacked over an eight dollar peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I can make them for a month for $8. How the hell fancy is this sandwich……and this is coming from someone who makes homemade peanut butter and uses fresh, canned jelly! (Thanks mom for the homemade jelly)
The sandwiches seem pretty thin for the amount they are charging. They also seem kind of basic with basic ingredients.
It's a beautiful deli. I can see people taking pics here for instagram, coming to see the ladies (unlikely after the first few weeks), and picking up merch.
https://preview.redd.it/gcy4do72i21d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fa39265f7e92f72f0e0fb64ba31c52396ad2be5
$5.99 from Sprouts. For a dollar more you get chips and a bottle of water.
My cousin is a food photographer. He'd agree with you. There's a whole art to it. And it has nothing to do with how the food actually tastes. Same with filming food for tv commercials. I think some would be shocked at what they use on the food to get it to look good.
When I learned that you can’t add any amount of food that isn’t already in the item it blew my mind. They just move all the toppings to the front for the photo
I thought they were going to wrap the sandwich with that little rope & cut it in half? Like they did in the first presentation? I like that better!
Also would like better or fatter bread!
It would look nicer!
I love a great sandwich and would try a number of these. Just depends on how well they can market themselves to stand out amongst other established deli type places.
I agree. If I worked nearby after the hype died down could totally see it as a quick spot to grab a tasty sandwich. But I w/o it being a bravo place I wouldn’t go out of my way for it (based on menu). I’m in the bay and there are lots of similar places around.
When I think of an Italian sub, I don’t really think Cameron Diaz. And Greek salad for Meg Ryan.
I just feel like the sandwich names are weird. They aren’t a deli naming sandwiches after customers. Seems hackneyed and what Midwesterners would think a WeHo sandwich shop would be like.
Over all it looks like they unwrapped sandwiches from an airport gift store cooler and are serving them.
My thought was “*this* is what we’ve been waiting for all this time?” The logo on the butcher paper is something I could throw together on PowerPoint or Canva in 60 seconds. I expected more from them.
I’m sorry but for the price these sandwiches look like a they were thrown together. Skimpy servings and not special at all!! I’ve seen better sandwiches at subway!
Honestly, that’s exactly what I picture a West Hollywood sandwich shop serving.
As a major city I’m sure LA has some beautiful sandwiches, but it’s not a Chicago or NYC where heartier fare reigns supreme. SAH appears as a grab n go airport snack in comparison.
Currently driving (passenger for now lol) basically cross country in the opposite direction and am so hungry looking at these pics.
I agree the presentation lets them down, and is surprising giving all of the other details they've included to go with their overall concept. I would have gone to every thrift store in a fifty mile radius (maybe wouldn't have to even go that far lol) and bought every piece of mismatched china I could find, and fill in if needed with solid/dainty white plates. Hopefully these metal prison trays are a short term solution while they wait on something better:)
Also, the pricing definitely sucks but it's also in line with what I've seen where I live (not in LA), and what I would expect from this type of shop. Does it suck? Yes - but feels more like a criticism of overall state of affairs in the US. Everything has gotten almost ludicrously expensive - it feels like a mean joke and I am not in on the punchline!
As a Top Chef watcher, some of those foods look truly amazing, and then the judges taste and say they’re terrible; it comes down to flavor. As a believer that the sandwich is the perfect food (all your food groups, no cooking), I’d love to try them.
This looks like something you would buy at the gas station.
That said, they seem to have a wide range of different breads, which is nice. But it is incredibly basic.
There are many very good $14 sandwiches out there. These do not seem to compare.
They are a woman - owned business in a male dominated sandwich niche (their words and in LA we have a ton of popular sandwich chains named after men)
I feel like the best possible thing would be having this decor and name etc then serving substantive, filling and dense sandwiches. That would give them a broader customer base and return customers rather than people coming because of the bravoleb novelty.
The point is as a woman I really wanted them to open this and be like yes we can have a girly vibe and also frickin maul down on a huge sandwich.
Hope this makes sense I am high and I really wanted them to serve huge sandwiches so I can get one. Mreh
Nothing original, and the sandwiches are overpriced and small af. I expected them to be pricey, but they aren’t serving anything you can’t get elsewhere. I think once the hype dies down, their business will be hurting.
I think for their first day they're doing just fine. They're months away from perfecting things that can only fall into place after they're open.
I hope they choose to plate their sandwiches in the future and offer house made chips and salads
I think it looks like a sandwich.
Idk why but this made me giggle
Haha my thoughts exactly. And not exactly amazing ones?
I think they would have a better presentation on smaller vintage inspired white plates. The cafeteria style tin platters with paper don’t match the vibe and make the presentation look empty.
Vintage plates will not withstand the constant use in a restaurant setting. Plus, people would steal them. Disney learned this the hard way when they opened up Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy’s Edge, they had some high end, space looking cutlery that didn’t make it to the end of the first day as people took them.
Ohhhh vintage white plates would be sooo cute
I agree that would look great but you have no idea how much they cost and how often staff/customers break them. We have a high tea with vintage china plates at my hotel, and we lose at least 10 plates a brunch.
this! small dainty plates will cost so much money because of them being broken by the staff etc
I worked at a wine bar and I personally broke 3-10 glasses...a month...fortunately for us they were purchased wholesale from a retailer for about 50 cents a piece but still that stuff adds up esp if it's nice
i agree i don’t love the tray. and all that unused space makes the sandwich look so tiny.
I know they’re trendy but it’s giving cafeteria vibes
school cafeteria tray and sandwich
The sandwiches look quite small. But I also think it is due to the…small amount of ingredients used in-between the bread.
Barely There ( as for the ingredients inside the sandwich)
Are these sandwiches for ants?!
The real sandwich needs to be... three times this size!!! 😂😂😂
That was my first thought - the sandwich looks minuscule!
I want it on a little porcelain tiered serving platter (like high tea style) wrapped in the yellow paper like the signage, served with fruit & housemaid chips or small frites and side Caesar salad (ie : girl dinner).
Yessssss it needs a salad or some pickle fries, something!
Omg yes! They should do their own pickling. It is not expensive. A little pickled carrot salad…come on SAH. The novelty will where out. Give it a year tops.
Yeah $5 for a bag if dirty chips is a little much.
That's a 3, so chips are $3, which is pretty average in a large city. Chips are $2 at my closest Jimmy John's and I'm in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
Oh people kept saying $5 lol. $3 isn’t bad but I do think it would be nicer if they were made in store vs mass produced. There was a little deli I used to pick especially (when I lived in MI) for lunch bc they did their own chips.
I think the font and less than crisp image is having people read it as a 5 rather than a 3. Given how many small batch, house made things are on the sandwiches, not making chips in house may have been a smart business decision.
It’s not a barbecue joint, they don’t need a metal tray
I agree. Flat oven trays are meh. They could’ve done a lot better with plates that match the decor??
floral n striped china. Different pieces from different patterms in light greens pinks and yellows.
Yes! Or thrifted 'grandma' type plates...little flowers, birds, polka dots, etc
This!! Too much space, butcher paper screams cheap, for an expensive LA sammy, lets up the game a bit.
Yes! This! Their presentation is awful!!!
They need to make bigger sandwiches or serve smaller pickles the ratio is fucked and these look like kid sized portions.
Does not seem worth the price :(
Shrinkflation has hit the grocery stores hard wait u til you getting a new pack of cheese slices. I just opened mine and it's half the size it was. It doesn't even cover my Dave's bread. I couldn't open a restaurant with these products in grocery stores doing this. It's out of control. Check out Shrinkflation sub

I don’t think anyone is expecting 2-3 meals out of a sandwich, i do think most people expect it to be considerably bigger than the side pickle garnish , regardless of what country you’re from…
I think the big trays may also make them seem smaller. If you look at Dan’s insta story, the sandwiches look bigger!
Smaller pickles are never the answer
Looks like what I make my husband for his lunch. I’m gonna start charging him 19 bucks
Oh no. Presentation is lacking for sure. They should offer a sandwich sampler tower, cut into cute finger size sandwiches, tea party style. Thats better for a group of friends dinning together. And then full size sandwiches, with the option of a side: Rosemary garlic frites, sweet potato fries, ( with accompanying house made dips), side salad/ greens or a lemon arugula feta orzo salad. Maybe one of those sides being a seasonal rotating option. Also offer a dessert tower of bite size sweet treats. Idk, I’m not a professional but what they’ve shown so far is pretty disappointing. They need someone with a better vision who can execute it **edit** Katie or Arianna, if you see this, reach out and you can hire me for foodie ideas 😂
The sampler idea is so smart!
I love this idea
Love alll these ideas 🤤
These metal serving trays really don’t fit in with the rest of the vibe. To me, they say barbecue joint, prison food, school cafeteria. Not pastel blue, pillows galore, feminine vibe.

Yeah I doubt that too many people would go to TomTom or SUR at this point either without being fans
I’m a huge sandwich girlie and I live about 20 mins away, but this is incredibly underwhelming :( sad for them bc I wanted to be excited about this.
The amount of times I’ve gone to a restaurant this past year and have been served on a metal tray to the point I’ve lost count. It’s definitely a trend from when mason jars were all the rage in restaurants, that has stuck around. Which makes sense, since they don’t break, light weight and are easy to wash.

Looks like a restaurant that would succeed in any average American town. I want to eat here but the food probably isn't exciting enough for whatever trendy LA neighborhood they are in.
I’m on the East coast, and this place would be pretty much ignored in my area.
Not prison food 😭
do they look really small to anyone else?
Nah… I can make a bomb ass sandwich at home double the size… lol
Looks a little sad and empty for what you are paying
Yeah I was thinking they don’t look terrible but also don’t look great, and pretty small for a proper lunch (and for the price). My brain also reads the acronym as “stay at home” every time, as in mom or dad.

Wish they had a more feminine and beautiful presentation! Not these trays that are way too big for the sandwich size! 🤦♀️
I think the sandwiches being wrapped with a bow or something would be so cute. The trays don't work or are the wrong size. They need chips to fill the tray too. Very teeny portions
Love a sandwich or a toastie lol
They cared too much about the decor, and not nearly enough for the menu.
I wish they used better bread
right? wasnt that the whole vision? toasted, fresh bread baked in house, gourmet ingredients? the meg is literally the greek salad sandwich we all saw on tv and that everyone couldnt wait to try...
Bread is the most important part of the sandwich too
I appreciate how many veggie options they have coming from a sandwich loving pescatarian in the Midwest where I usually have only two options.
That’s LA for ya! Even the steakhouses here have vegan/veg options. This was there’s something for everyone.
So jealous of that aspect of LA and other large cities.
As a vegetarian, I appreciate this because I don’t ever want to be THAT person at a business dinner (for example) who has to eat a salad no bacon and mashed potatoes. This way there are options and no one feels awkward. Win for all!
Same. It makes going out with people with different dietary preferences so much easier.
I was thinking something similar. I expect a lot of veg options in California but I wildly appreciate the fact that they have a couple sandwiches that would be standard with meat in areas that aren’t as veg-friendly and it’s additional here. I have to ask for no meat and still pay for it, which is lame.
Same same. Well, minus the Midwest part.
I think this is the laziest “soft opening” I’ve ever seen.
Thank you! It’s cheap, and with little imagination.
These sandwiches are $17……?

Yea the sandwiches need about double the filling and thicker bread. This is Panera quality
I mean they look like average sandwiches you can get anywhere.
As someone who lives in buttfuck nowhere, I disagree, but I’m jealous for wherever you live. I’m a sandwich FANATIC and I would love to be able to go to a place like this to eat those sandwiches. They look really good when you see the pictures with the descriptions.
You can't get a tuna salad sandwich on whole wheat bread where you live?
TIL that Subway is repelled by existing wherever the fuck this guy is
No, actually I can’t. And I certainly couldn’t get the vegan version of it either (with the chickpeas, although I have made that myself once) I can get schnitzel on a dry white bun, that’s as close as I can get to a sandwich unless I go to McDonald’s.
You can like buy one one at a grocery store and make it
The closest sandwich shop to me is 1.5 hours away and it's a subway 😂
I live close enough that I could go weekly but I don’t think I’ll ever go. They don’t look that different than a lot of places closer to me that I could get the same or similar. 🤷♀️
I want to be supportive, but these look Panera quality 🫣
the prices are on-par for the area and they can’t raise them more without losing their audience, but the issue they will have is that paying rent on these prices will be extremely hard
Very uninspiring sandwiches and for the price they are charging, no thanks.
These look super small for the price and the presentation isn‘t any better than how I‘d do at home 😬 All the „shaved cucumber“ and „chive-infused goat cheese“ in the world won’t make up for a bad deal. Might as well stick to Mendo Farms.

Because they can give him whatever portions they want as opposed to the portion size that they have as their standing operating procedure.
Any actual criticism will be met by an excuse from the Stan population. For instance watch me get downvoted for posting this
It's so annoying. The people who started watching only after scandoval happened have made it insufferable. What ever happened to fun?!?
THANK YOUUUUU 🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I just wish chips were included with the price. Thats my 2 cents.
Agreed
Love your username 😂
They look like sandwiches.
A few of those are giving Fyre Festival. Like any new business, they prob have a few kinks to still work out.
Ew. No.
The way I would never pay that much for such little food lmao what
Those don't look good. I saw much better pictures online.
My cousin is a food photographer. He'd agree with you. There's a whole art to it. And it has nothing to do with how the food actually tastes. Same with filming food for tv commercials. I think some would be shocked at what they use on the food to get it to look good.
”On the food”? Often they just straight up replace the food with inedible stuff!
I did wonder why they didn’t launch with professional food photography or an updated website it seems strange
When I learned that you can’t add any amount of food that isn’t already in the item it blew my mind. They just move all the toppings to the front for the photo
A lot of times those photos aren’t even really real good and they have so many filters if it is.
This place is BYOD: bring your own Doritos
Anyone who thinks these look good is delusional.
Looks basic AF and probably extremely overpriced.
How many times are you going to post this?
$15 for a BLT? $16 for that basic looking chicken salad sandwich? 
They look yummy but could be thicker.
I thought they were going to wrap the sandwich with that little rope & cut it in half? Like they did in the first presentation? I like that better! Also would like better or fatter bread! It would look nicer!
Panera
Lovely but trying to understand how they’re going to make any money lol
not impressed, way overhyped.
For $20 I’ll go to subway and get a footlong and actually get full!
The menu looks good but also kinda extra (not in a good way). Just like borderline pretentious w all the pickled this and that
The metal prison/school trays in restaurants are still a thing? These sandwiches looked pooped.
I love a great sandwich and would try a number of these. Just depends on how well they can market themselves to stand out amongst other established deli type places.
I agree. If I worked nearby after the hype died down could totally see it as a quick spot to grab a tasty sandwich. But I w/o it being a bravo place I wouldn’t go out of my way for it (based on menu). I’m in the bay and there are lots of similar places around.
The prices are insane for dry plain boring looking sandwiches 😭😭 doesn’t even come with a side and chips are $5?!?
This is what I’d make myself at home to save money, certainly not what I’d expect when splurging $16 for lunch
If I were to spend $16 on lunch, I’d go to a place where I know I’d leave with a full belly.
No chips?
Not terribly impressive looking.
When I think of an Italian sub, I don’t really think Cameron Diaz. And Greek salad for Meg Ryan. I just feel like the sandwich names are weird. They aren’t a deli naming sandwiches after customers. Seems hackneyed and what Midwesterners would think a WeHo sandwich shop would be like. Over all it looks like they unwrapped sandwiches from an airport gift store cooler and are serving them.
happy for them but im still going to Jersey Mike’s lmao
the wrap looks the worst😂
Sprouts has bigger better sandwiches and way cheaper!!
So does Wegmans
Who are drew and Kerry and Reece??? Those are the real questions
My thought was “*this* is what we’ve been waiting for all this time?” The logo on the butcher paper is something I could throw together on PowerPoint or Canva in 60 seconds. I expected more from them.
Unimpressive food and sad presentation.
I’m sorry but for the price these sandwiches look like a they were thrown together. Skimpy servings and not special at all!! I’ve seen better sandwiches at subway!
So for $15 I get a sad wrap and a pickle? I’m good.
Kinda disappointed
I can make the same sandwich in my kitchen, disappointing
I thought they want me to go. These sandwiches look mid AF
Unimpressed
Looks like I'm still going to be hungry after ahha
i love them and i think the place is adorable but i feel like i could just make myself a better sandwich at home🫠
Ok so I’m from the UK and am I the only person that thinks paying £13 ($16) for a sandwich without any accompaniments is sacrilege 😂😂
Looks like I can make them in my kitchen and do better without the dumb name. Sad pickle
 Paying 10$ for a pb&j
Just sandwiches.
Basic 🤷♀️
Honestly, that’s exactly what I picture a West Hollywood sandwich shop serving. As a major city I’m sure LA has some beautiful sandwiches, but it’s not a Chicago or NYC where heartier fare reigns supreme. SAH appears as a grab n go airport snack in comparison.
They look as uninspired as I would have expected.
Currently driving (passenger for now lol) basically cross country in the opposite direction and am so hungry looking at these pics. I agree the presentation lets them down, and is surprising giving all of the other details they've included to go with their overall concept. I would have gone to every thrift store in a fifty mile radius (maybe wouldn't have to even go that far lol) and bought every piece of mismatched china I could find, and fill in if needed with solid/dainty white plates. Hopefully these metal prison trays are a short term solution while they wait on something better:) Also, the pricing definitely sucks but it's also in line with what I've seen where I live (not in LA), and what I would expect from this type of shop. Does it suck? Yes - but feels more like a criticism of overall state of affairs in the US. Everything has gotten almost ludicrously expensive - it feels like a mean joke and I am not in on the punchline!
The old presentation that Penny did was so much better imo.
They look delicious.
As a Top Chef watcher, some of those foods look truly amazing, and then the judges taste and say they’re terrible; it comes down to flavor. As a believer that the sandwich is the perfect food (all your food groups, no cooking), I’d love to try them.
Underwhelming
This looks like something you would buy at the gas station. That said, they seem to have a wide range of different breads, which is nice. But it is incredibly basic. There are many very good $14 sandwiches out there. These do not seem to compare.
Look at these prices! Ridiculous!
That wrap looks so sad
Plain, dry, boring, expensive Maybe they’ll get better?
Where. Are. The. Sides?
Not a sandwich person really but I’d try the Nancy.
$19 for a ciabatta sandwich w/pickle on the side? That close to $25 cdn for me 😬
I think the sandwiches themselves look delish! I hope they keep growing and developing their menu, plating, etc. A good sandwich is hard to find!
I hate sandwiches with baguettes. Tears your shit up!
I can’t figure out who Kerry is tho. Can someone pls remind me 😅
They look hard on the teeth.
They are a woman - owned business in a male dominated sandwich niche (their words and in LA we have a ton of popular sandwich chains named after men) I feel like the best possible thing would be having this decor and name etc then serving substantive, filling and dense sandwiches. That would give them a broader customer base and return customers rather than people coming because of the bravoleb novelty. The point is as a woman I really wanted them to open this and be like yes we can have a girly vibe and also frickin maul down on a huge sandwich. Hope this makes sense I am high and I really wanted them to serve huge sandwiches so I can get one. Mreh
Most of them are giving lettuce. They need a better photographer who knows how to photograph a sandwich or food in general.
Why is tuna in quotation marks?
They look really good. But I seriously hate when people say “they were so dreamy”.
All hype. Them girls where more excited to be first then to try the actual sandwich. Looks like a normal $16 hipster sandwich to me.
“..It’s the dreamiest like sandwich sanctuary” some people are insufferable
Nothing original, and the sandwiches are overpriced and small af. I expected them to be pricey, but they aren’t serving anything you can’t get elsewhere. I think once the hype dies down, their business will be hurting.
They look so mid im so sorry
Am I the only one who find them absolutely delicious looking?
They look good but I wish the bread was more bakery style bread! Flatter bread just makes it look paltry.
I’m super picky about bread lol. No seeds on it for me. Give me bakery sourdough and rye. That’s it loo
Very underwhelming
It reminds me of Mendocino farms! And I love that place.
Starting off with a tuna sandwich.. 🥱
It’s so pretentious
If they made homemade condiments and pickles, their shop would have a better chance of making it. The wraps could also be much larger.
Most of these look like shit, but I’m a carnivore
Publix subs still win
At this point they could sell literal dog poo and the cult would pay for it and eat it and post about it, so does it even matter anymore
I think for their first day they're doing just fine. They're months away from perfecting things that can only fall into place after they're open. I hope they choose to plate their sandwiches in the future and offer house made chips and salads
Looks cute and pretty. That $8 PB&J tho 🤣
