About Bread Head

Bread Head is a recently opened sandwich restaurant in Westwood. It serves delicious focaccia sandwiches, with both cold options and weekday daily specials which are hot sandwiches. These specials include the Meatball Parmesan on Monday, Roasted Pork & Broccoli Rabe on Tuesday, the Cuban on Wednesday, the Reuben on Thursday, and Sausage & Peppers on Friday. Popular menu items are the turkey pesto, muffaletta, roast pork and broccoli rabe, and the Combo Grinder. Other offerings include the chicken salad sandwich, a pesto sandwich, and sides like fresh lemonade and the "picnic nachos," a pimento cheese dip with corn chips.

The ingredients are fresh and the focaccia bread has a nice crunch, a flakey and salted exterior, though some note a desire for a softer interior. The sandwiches are well put together with a generous layer of meat and fresh, crisp vegetables. Flavors are described as tangy, sweet, buttery, and refreshing, with a good balance, though some items can be bitter or salty for certain tastes. The picnic nachos are indulgent with a spicy kick.

The inside space is small but comfortable, with a couple of individual tables and counter seating. There is a water station and to-go boxes. There is no outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and offers recommendations. Online ordering is available for easy pickup. Parking can be tricky with limited street parking, but it is walkable in the Westwood area.

The prices can be quite pricey, but there are discounts for UCLA students and staff. It is open seven days a week from 11 am to 7 pm. Overall, it is a solid sandwich spot, a welcome addition to the community, and a good place for a quick, tasty lunch.
