The Bread Shop

Love the sandwiches here, they are amazing flavor. Great place and Very clean

Good and Simple!
I have only come here at breakfast, so far, but the café con leche is fantastic as are the Empanadas.
I have not been to Venezuela yet, but this places’ food makes me want to go.
To be clear, I drive through the moonlight diner’s parking lot to get there.

This review is only for cakes. I have been getting cakes here for a while here. Caramel cake and Fruit cake are really good here but caramel cake tends to get too sweet at times.

The WORST customer service, not friendly employees, it’s a shame because the food is good but not good enough to put up with the BAD service.

This is an amazing Venezuelan sandwich place for lunch. Not sure why they call it The Bread Shop, which doesn’t convey it’s ethnic cuisine and hole-​in-​the-​wall character. Not your typical deli, it’s definitely worth a visit.

Bad customer service and not really friendly employees.
I am rather going to an other cuban bakery

I’ve been here a couple of times during my lunch break. Cypress Creek and Andrews has a lot of business-​class and working-​class folks, and no shortage of places to eat. With such competition, The Bread Shop distinguishes itself with its Venezuelan-​style sandwiches and dishes.
There are a lot of options … such that I try something different each visit. I love the breads, particularly toasted. I’m a big fan of the turkey sandwich.
It’s very clean and relaxing inside, which encourages me to escape work during lunchtime and process my thoughts as I gear up for the second half of the work day.
The prices are reasonable and you get a premium sandwich and not a manufactured or pre-​processed version. I would compare it to similar places nearby like La Mia Focaccia and Le Vinois Bakery. These are places that take pride in the construction of the sandwich.
I would recommend giving this place a try, and would encourage you to eat in.

I am sooooo happy have this Venezuelan spot so close to my office. I love arepas and theirs are very good. Not like my grandma’s… But good nonetheless. My son loved them too.
My cortadito is always on point. I’ve been here to this café three times since I found it two weeks ago, and plan to continue coming.
Tip: They have this cake that they just call «Caramel Cake». That’s like calling the Vatican a «church». This thing has layers of different textures and flavors and it tastes of real dulce de leche (the kind you get when abuelita cooks a can of condensed milk on the stove). Delicious.

This is a place that you have to hear about thru the grapevine. But, once you go inside during lunchtime– you can see it is a popular spot and it smells oh so good.
I head about it from a friend that works nearby and she ordered for me. We went there for the sole purpose of eating a «Cachapa» — a huge (paper plate sized) arepa that is filled with stewed meat (like Ropa vieja) and Queso blanco… then folded in half and grilled until all the cheese is melted… and topped with more cheese.
See pic.
It was delicious and filling… that’s all I ate. And for under $ 9, a pretty good deal.
As we were waiting, we could see them making other items and the hot grilled steak sandwiches with onions look really good… gonna try that next.

Great for breakfast and lunch! Had always past this place but never realized it was a Spanish bakery. They use to be only a bread shop, now they offer an array of menu items to accommodate the breakfast and lunch crowds. All items sounded delicious on their menu. I ordered the house special sandwhich with grilled steak and pink sauce. Absolutely delicious! Fresh made to order items. Good bakery items too, authentic Latin American pastries are a must have! Staff was friendly and informative! They are a Venezuelan bread shop, but many menu items can be considered South American in general with the great selection of arepas and cachapas. Will return soon!

I came here for lunch on the recommendation of a friend. She posted a picture on Facebook of this amazing looking sandwich stacked with chicken and toppings on this delicious looking bread. After drooling over the photo for a bit I commented that it looked amazing and she told me that it was a must that I come eat here. So naturally my boyfriend and I got in there car and headed there ASAP.
We were not disappointed! Turns out that yummy sandwich was their House Special sandwich which is served with either chicken or steak. I got mine with chicken and the hubby had steak. It is served with lettuce, tomato, the yummiest grilled onions and your choice of cheese. All this served on homemade bread. They are, after all, a bakery and bread shop. They also add a special pink sauce, not too sure what’s in it but it’s a must! We also got a cheese pastry and a savory ham and cheese pastry. Both delicious! (Refer to pictures I posted).
All their breads and baked goods are baked fresh, daily on premises. Their dessert case has a wide array of sweet treats that all look amazing. They had a sample plate of some sweet, cinnamony bread (looked similar to monkey bread) we tried it and fell in love. Delicious and not too sweet. I think you can even buy a whole loaf of their bread to take home with you. They have many other items on their menu to choose from from cachapas to arepas.
The establishment doesn’t look like anything special from the outside or even the inside and you would never know that it is a Venezuelan bakery but it is well worth going in and sitting down and enjoying some lunch.

Food its delicious and you dont need to be Venezuelan to enjoy it. I am frim Venezuelan and my husband isn’t and we both enjoy chesse tequeños. Chocolate cookie its real nuce as well as the ham an chesse cachito. The place is clean and service is good. I will come back!

I came across this place looking for a quick breakfast and I’m glad I did. They service Venezuelan cuisine which is hard
to come across in Los Angeles. I ordered the #4 and a small coffee for about $ 10. Delicious… meat was so soft and
succulent, eggs were good, and it came with some sort of cheese and what looked to be toasted south American bread (looks
similar to an English muffin). I scarfed it down really fast. They also sell cakes and sweet bread. So good!

A co-​worker was talking about this place, quoted as saying this is the «best steak sandwich» he’s ever had. I like a good steak sandwich and had skipped out on breakfast this morning so thought I’d treat myself.
It’s a nice clean shop easy to access with abundant parking despite a lot of restaurants in the same complex. I walked in and the menu was pretty easy to read, however they list 3 kinds of cheeses, then say ‘etc’. If I’m going to order a steak sandwich I’d prefer American or at least cheddar, but neither are available options (yes I know American cheese isn’t «real cheese», but I’m a picky eater and damn it when you get a steak sandwich you get fake cheese). I was going to then go with a chicken salad sandwich, but that also had chickpeas in it which wasn’t shown on the menu and seemed unappetizing, so decided to just go with the steak sandwich after all.
I got it with most of the suggested fixings (including pink sauce, grilled onions, and potato stix) along with pepper jack cheese, but no tomatoes and got black olives. The steak was made to order and was done impressively fast. The price was pretty reasonable too, and I got it to go with a cookie.
First thought is that the pink sauce makes this a very messy sandwich. The bread was pretty warm and fresh, they toast right in front of you with the cheese on it and it held up pretty well. The pink sauce is pretty overwhelming most bites the only thing I could taste, and I’m not even sure that I could tell you what it tasted like. It didn’t taste bad, it was fine/​good, but it just drowned out everything else, either that or the grilled onions and pepper jack cheese were very mild. And while the steak was a good texture and freshly cooked there just wasn’t a lot of it. While I like thinly cut meat/​steak it was literally a single thin layer of it. They didn’t skimp out on the rest of the toppings though, and the potato stix were a nice touch consistency wise, making it a decently filling sandwich. I keep finding myself comparing it to the steak sandwich I got from Bravo, in which case in terms of pure meaty/​heartiness doesn’t compare.
I’ve gotta dock them huge points for their chocolate chip cookie though. It didn’t look good through the glass case but I thought I’d try it anyways. It was a dry, crumbly mess and did not have the sort of consistency you’d like or expect from a cookie. It’s also dark chocolate as opposed to milk for those that care about that (I don’t care for dark chocolate).

I discovered this Venezuelan bakery which in Venezuela tends to have excellent bread shops due to European immigration at Venezuela.
I tried their ham breads (cachitos de jamon) and they were authentic. I might add a little bit of more ham.
I tried the tequeños and cachapas but was not impressed with them.
I love the café con leche.

Everytime I come here I feel like crying lol
I absolutely adore this place! I am from Venezuela, and I can say that this is pretty authentic and close to the flavors from back home.
I had stopped going here for a while because in my head Don Pan was better, however when I went back about a month ago, my taste buds punched me hard in the stomach for ever thinking such thing!
They are a small bread shop, but everything they make is delectable. I have not have a bad experience here, and their prices are out of this world great.
Everytime I go, I HAVE to buy a «Cachito», this is a pastry that is usually eaten during breakfast and its made with this semi-​sweet dough stuffed with big chunks of ham and cheese if you desire too. What I love about this pastry is that it taste just like it tastes back home, and that to me its everything! They also have the most delicious «Tequenos» in South Florida. This is pretty much like a cheese stick, but rather than it being just breaded cheese, its a special type of cheese wrapped in dough and deep fried! I mean what is better than cheese and dough fried???
Their arepas (corn cakes) are also delicious, and their «Cachapas» are excellent! You can certainly tell they make the dough in house and don’t use instant dough because it still has chunks of corn in the dough. I haven’t had the pleasure to have their actual meals because I don’t get out of work early enough, but I am sure everything is great.
I hope this place never closes, because my heart will simply shattered! I love it, and I want it now!

Great option for Pastries and Venezuelan food! Convenient for lunch and they haven’t disappointed yet!

An excellent sandwich, and I love sandwiches, so I should know. This is a Venezuelan breakfast/​lunch spot. They serve arepas as well as other traditional Venezuelan bakery items. In the past when I had eaten at Bread Shop I had only had the sandwiches, partially because I didn’t really know what a lot of other things were, but this time I went with a Venezuelan friend who was happy to introduce us to other parts of the menu.
In terms of the «bakery» items we tried the cachitos and the tequenos. The cachito look somewhat like a crescent roll, but had a sweeter less flaky dough and was filled with ham and cheese. The tequenos were what I would call a Venezuelan mozzarella stick and was cheese inside a long skinny bread stick. both these items were great, especially the tequenos dipped in pink sauce. When I think of a bakery/​bread shop my mind automatically goes to sweets (and they do have cakes and pastries), but savory items are more my thing, and although I have absolutely no form of comparison I’m really glad I was introduced to these items.
Now on to the sandwich. I either get the steak or chicken sandwich with «everything». Everything entails grilled onions, cheese, lettuce, tomato, potato sticks, and pink sauce. They make it on delicious fresh crusty/​chewy/​soft bread. The sandwich is about $ 8 and HUGE. I have eaten it in one sitting; however, this time I was reasonable and took half home, and then my brother and I split the other half for lunch the next day… even the half was shareable. Also good to note that the bread holds up well and the leftovers weren’t soggy. The veggies on the sandwich are always fresh, and I’m pretty sure I would eat anything that had that pink sauce on it.
Do yourself a favor and get here a little early for lunch. They have a pretty large seating area, but the line starts to wrap around the restaurant by noontime.

You had me at Arepa! Traditional Venezuelan café with Latin pastries, cakes, breads, sandwiches and plenty of breakfast/​lunch specials, and authentic Venezuelan arepas, the Guayanes cheese arepa was cooked to order and absolute perfection. Everything is made fresh, the lady at the counter warned me about the 5 – 7 mins wait for the Arepa, definitely worth the way.

The Bread Shop is close to my job so I end up here for lunch when I’m in the mood for the most enormous, tasty steak sandwich ever!
The steak sandwich (with or without grilled onions) is the house speciality (they also make it with chicken if you’re anti red meat). Steak is grilled to order and thrown on to a huge sub. Pick your cheese and they’ll melt it on to the bread for you. All the toppings — lettuce, tomato etc, but definitely stick with the venezuelan tradition and add the potato sticks and the pink sauce as well.
Never had any of the pastries or the desserts but they look awesome!
