Tuna sandwich was good- not the best bread in my opinion. Soft serve was great! It just too wayyyy too long to get our order: 45 mins for one sandwich and soft serve is not ok. Especially when there’s no warning of how long the wait will be. Parking is difficult as it’s mostly a residential area.

Few places surprise me, this one was one of them. We ordered the Ira glass with turkey, which was amazing. One sandwich was enough for two, a bite full had tons of flavor. We also got the pepper flavored chips, which tasted home made, lacked the pepper flavor. However, they were still very good. They have plenty of food and drink options. This place closes early, so you need to get here early. Parking can be hard, and seating is only available for a handful of people. But the experience is worth it.

Killer sandwich!I had the Terry Gross. A masterful combination of high quality sliced turkey, crunchy slaw, cheese that looked like was put through a meat grinder (A very good thing that made it's texture smooth and kind of chewable) plus what I think was mayonnaise spread on the inside of the bread.And oh that bread! Bub and Grandma's focaccia. Flavorful, crusty, spongy - amazing!.

Everything on the menu is designed for a flavor profile. I had the Tuna, the wife had the turkey, both excellent.

For those who love their sandwiches with lots of layers :)If you're a fan of bahn mi (Vietnamese sandwich), I recommend the Steve Julian sandwich! It has pickled daikon and carrot with a spicy jalapeño vinaigrette. I like my sandwiches with lots of layers and most of their sandwiches are stacked with flavors + layers. It's also big enough to share half with someone but if you're hungry I recommend ordering a sandwich for yourself.Parking is not the easiest but you can find spots around the neighborhood. There is a patio outside for outdoor seating and it's a cute spot for a mid-day lunch :^) You order and pick-up at the storefront window. Amazing spot if you're nearby and craving a good, healthy sandwich.

Great location and atmosphere. Not sure if I was selecting to customize my order of salad today using the options on the menu was a eatery faux pas but the cashier wasn't very friendly to me in either of her interactions. From a simple request to add protein from the menu to the salad I selected or the inquiry for simple salt and pepper. Very unpleasant or as if my patronage is futile.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free - extra $ for salad option

Basic, mushy and bland.Simple concoctions at their worst with flowery description’s.Shredded cheddar?Ice cream scoops of mayo?Long wait times and mediocre results.Do better for $16 especially if it’s on stale Bubs bread, just go there.
As other reviewers mentioned, overpriced sandwiches. Tried once, will not return. Happened to be in area and wanted to try WaxPaper out. Please do visit La Columbe coffee roasters in Frogtown, though, with a sandwich you buy elsewhere and eat on the LA River. Claro’s Italian Market or Eastside Deli two recommendations.

Ira Glass with Turkey is the best sandwich in LA!

Great sandwiches! My favorite is the Ira Glass. It’s such a fresh vegetarian sandwich as is, but also great if you add a protein to it. I love their rotating soft serve flavors. Parking can be a challenge but the sandwiches are worth it!

Waxpaper is just okay. The sandwiches are pretty tasty, but a little over priced. I don’t think it’s worth it to trek over to frogtown with this as your culinary destination, but if you happened to be in the area and hungry, it’s a decent option.Most annoying thing is how god awful slow they are. I went at 11 am when they first opened and was literally the first person to order and it was a 20 minute wait for a deli sandwich! Every time I’ve been it’s been incredibly slow and not that busy.

Frogtown area is great. Food was wack, the iced coffee was 99.99% ice, they messed up a very easy order, the sandwiches and sides were hella mid.The cashier was the worst part, super rude and abrasive and barely knew how to work the order input device.Plus we all know you folks are taking phone numbers for dine in orders to sell them to advertisers.
