Larchmont Village Wine, Spirits, & Cheese is a subtle store front located on Larchmont in the small "uptown" portion of the neighborhood. It is very similar to most other little towns of Los Angeles, such as Los Feliz and Franklin Village. Except Larchmont is typically free from tourists, so lots of locals (and celebrities) frequent this area for lunch, coffee, and shopping. It's a very dog friendly strand. The wine and cheese shop is know for their sandwiches. Baked fresh baguettes and ciabatta bread daily, often selling out of bread by 1-3pm on weekdays (closed on Sunday). The line is usually to the door, daily.
The best thing to get is their #3. Soppresatta salami, mixed greens, sun dried tomato mayo, and their balsamic vinegar on a baguette. It's that type of bread that tears apart the roof of your mouth, but you absolutely love every minute of it. Fresh and incredibly crispy on the outside, a fine layer of fluffy on the inside. To die for. My other favorite is their #1, Caprese, with fresh buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil and tomato, along with their balsamic. I add prosciutto to this to make it my favorite.
I ordered both with a friend. We split them half for half. Best of both worlds. In my opinion, this is the best sandwich in Los Angeles. There's one other that is a formidable opponent, a worthy runner-up. But that's another day, another lunch.
P.s. - the root beer here is to DElicious. (I mean, it's no Dog 'n Suds, but damn good). Beer? Yep, beer.
All sandwiches $8 and under.
