Best sandwiches in the area. We used to live closer so we would go often but now we live a 15 minute drive away but my wife still has us go out when she’s craving a sandwich. Great ingredients and lots of options.

Had to pick up something in the LBC yesterday and tried to find the best place to grab some sandwiches to have later in the day at our local Concerts in the Park. Really glad I found OLIVES under a Yelp search for "gourmet sandwiches" because my sandwich was probably one of the very best sandwiches I've ever had. I ordered the Muffulettas sandwich ($10.49) and the flavors were incredible. I could taste the high quality of the ingredients (Genoa Salami, hot cappacola, mortadella, olive salad, fontana and provolone) with every bite. And the ciabatta was fresh and tasty as well. Truly a perfect sandwich! I slowly enjoyed every small bite I took and I saved my other half for lunch today! If you've had a Muffeletta at Central Grocery in New Orleans (also one of my faves), the sandwich at Olives is only slightly similar. From what I recall, there's more stuff in the one in The Big Easy and it drips with olive oil (I don't view this as a negative...surprisingly, quite the contrary, in fact) but Olive's version very impressively packs all the flavor in their version with less volume. The boy devoured his two halves of the Grilled Steak Sandwich ($11.49: sliced steak, caramelized onions, arugula, tomato, herb aioli, baguette). He loved it. The girl got the Belmont ($11.49: grilled chicken breast, sun dried tomato pesto, goat cheese and mixed greens on baguette) and I await her verdict today as she ended up eating out last night but it looks fantastic. Olive's prices are very reasonable which I very much appreciate. Service was good and quick. My only gripe was that I called to place my order because online showed them out of the kids' picks but that was not accurate so they do need to fix their online ordering system. Oh, and one more thing...they put the sandwiches numbers on the wrappers but the numbers don't show on their website. They do, however, show on the printable menu (which I found out after the fact) so I have included the printable menu here along with my review. Truly cannot wait to go back! Highly highly recommend!

I met a guy on a cruise ship in the Bahamas that spoke highly of Olives Gourmet Grocer. Having lived in Long Beach for over a decade, I was surprised I have never visited the place. This is a super cute deli market with fresh sandwiches, some bakery items, and other deli stuff. The sandwich was freshly made and they got daily specials.

Even after moving from Long Beach, I make the drive from HB strictly to come back here and get a sandwich. The Spicy Steve sandwich has such a special place in my heart and my stomach. Staff here is always so nice and helpful, and gives me that small town market feel while tucked away in a big city. Even when not getting a sandwich their artisanal options for groceries and other needs are so great! Miss living nearby, but that doesn't stop me from visiting, and it that should be the same for you!

Cute little shop selling some really good stuff. Ordered sandwiches and ate them outside. Everything on the menu looked so good, had a hard time deciding. Cubano was 10/10!

Love all the food here especially the chicken enchiladas. A bit pricey but well worth it for the quality.

Great gourmet grocery and deli. I had the steak BLT sandwich which was delicious, an Italian pasta salad and bought a thin slice of meatloaf for a sandwich later. So much to choose from! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

I believe the food is good but I was treated horribly today. I will not return as I was attempting to buy lunch for an office and was told they could not figure out how to use my corporate Visa. Such a waste of time
Sabrina Keigley
OMG!!!! The food is EXCELLENT!!! Freshly made bread is used for the sandwiches, there are so many options on the menu that I wanted! It was so hard to choose! The roast beef sandwich was amazing!!! The entire place is well organized and set up in such a thoughtful way! My friend and I met for lunch and really enjoyed the outdoor seating! The neighborhood was pretty quiet so we could enjoy good conversation and company! We shared a slice Olive oil cake and it was superb!!!! It kind of tasted like lemon scone meets pound cake with a nice light whipped cream on top 🤤💘 The drink selection was abundant!!! I am not a wine drinker, but they have a lot of options regarding wine, beer, kombucha, sodas, water, etc. Absolutely positively recommend!!! 💯💯💯🎯
