The Cheese Box at Wally’s

This is my favorite place to get fine cheeses, pates, mustards, olive oils, and chocolate bars. Not only do they have top quality product but the service here is top notch. The cheese mongers here know their stuff and all you need to tell them is what you are drinking and they will tell you everything you didn’t know you could not live without. I have been there every weekend for the past 3 weekends in a row now. Love this place!

Sorry guys you can’t charge $ 10 for a cheese sandwich :(

And here I thought Bay Cities was the best and only in the business of awesome sandwiches on the Westside. The term «hidden gem» gets thrown around a lot, but I got to say, The Cheese Box at Wally’s truly is one as you would never suspect a delicious sandwich and gourmet shop behind its façade.
The Cheese Box offers not only sandwiches, but gourmet essentials such as fancy cheeses, meats (e.g., iberico ham), crackers, fine olive oil, truffle oil/​truffle salt, and cavier. Oh, and they carry foie gras, both in bulk and in cans!
I had the Wally’s Hero sandwich ($ 11) here and wow was it delicious. Great bread, tasty meats (prosciutto), and juicy condiments. Everything you want in a sandwich! We also got some truffle chips. Wowza. Be prepared for that truffle flavor exploding in your mouth!
There’s plenty of parking and outdoor picnic table seating. Can’t get any better than this.

I love their sandwiches at this place, the wally’s Hero sandwich is excellent and the people working there are really friendly

4.5 stars. I didn’t even know this place existed until a few days ago, when I had to stop by Wally’s Wine to buy a bottle of Bordeaux.
It is a tiny shop that sells gourmet essentials (think Joan’s on Third but at 300 sqft). Cheese, charcuterie, fancy salts, crackers, cooking supplies, etc. They also sell 9 types of sandwiches that are made to order. I got the grilled tuna melt with aged gruyère cheese ($ 11) + the amazing truffle chips ($ 4). It is a bit pricey but considering the ingredients, pretty standard.
Parking is easy as they have a pretty spacious dedicated lot.
Took off half a star due to long wait time + I feel like the bread they used could be better.
Great for picnics and alternative to fast food!

This is truly a hidden gem. The turkey and cheese sandwiches are to die for, and best part about this place is that you can buy foie gras by the ounce at the counter to take home.

I wish I would have known about this hidden gem sooner. Great sandwiches, great bread, great meats, cheeses, honey, jams, crackers and other cheese plate accouterments! Ample parking. Friendly and helpful staff.

Wally’s Hero. That’s all I have to say.
The cheeses and meat here are a top quality and fresh as you can get!
Also, truffle chips! BOMB!

Great selection of cheeses that’s conveniently located next to Wally’s Wine & Spirits. Their sandwiches are delicious!

Excellent service and a fine collection of cheeses, chocolates, EVO and more. We picked up an Italian bread loaf, a tub of olives, a soft cheese and I (unintentionally) splurged on a good salami. High-​end salamis are drier than most others and I loved it.
I very, very much look forward to coming back and trying their sandwiches soon.

Went here on a whim since I was already in culver city and figured I should indulge myself on some good cheese before facing LA traffic on the way home.
I was drawn to the chocolate selection, great choices and variety! No prices were posted so I asked a worker who said that most chocolates will range from $ 10-​$ 12, fair enough, that’s about the price you pay for good chocolate. I asked specifically for the Marou, it was $ 10.50, about $ 1 more than what I pay in Orange County. The worker there was very attentive when I asked for suggestions, he pointed me to a new arrival «Bar Au Chocolat» beans from Peru but made locally. He shared that it was creamier than Marou and had a nice flavor.
I asked for a nice cheese pairing for it, I mean I was in a cheese shop and wasn’t about to leave cheese-​less. He directed me to a very flavorful aged Gouda that he let me sampled. Not that I needed more convincing, but I was convinced! I asked him to cut me a single serving for one sitting. He was very helpful and patient with me and my many questions. He wrapped it up along with my chocolate and I was a happy camper on my out to face the 405. The chocolate and cheese pairing was so perfect for an easy Saturday night.
Overall, a little pricey … My chocolate was $ 12.50 and my small cut of cheese (half a finger width size) was $ 4.44. But it’s a nice treat and was a great experience! Will be back if I’m in the area.

I LOVE The Cheese Box! The cheese selection is tailored to perfection, the sandwiches are phenomenal, and the staff, (Clarisse, Nicholas, Christine & Thomas) is just amazing! I would probably have over 100 check-in’s if I ever remembered to do it. They know our order by heart, and they greet my husband, Lee, like an old friend whenever he goes to pick up.

Ordered the American hero, Pastrami blue and the standard grilled cheese, paid $ 34. Some of the greens in the both the pastrami and hero were bad. How can this happen at a fanch sandwich shop??? The pastrami in the sandwich was good but the blue cheese and fig jam do not complement the meat. As for the grilled cheese I can honestly do much much better at home.

Cute little cheese shop that also sells sandwiches and other deli type items.
It has cute picnic benches outside to sit at but no indoor seating.
We got two sandwiches which were pretty good – both were fresh on great bread with a lot of pesky white flour that got all over our faces.
I got the mozzarella, pesto one and my husband got the Wally’s hero.
This place seemed good but it wasn’t anything special. I felt like we could make equivalent sandwiches at home.

Yes, expensive but oh so worth it. The only place we’ve encountered that carries Cinco Jotas jamon from Spain (something like a $ 150/​lb. YUP, but it’s that good).
They have great sandwiches too. I think the Wally’s Hero is way better than the overhyped Bay Cities. Shorter line, friendlier service, better parking; and a whole lotta liquor resides next door.
My heart throbs for this place.

This place is a gem! They have the best sandwiches in Westwood! They’re meat and cheese are fresh as well as the veggies on the sandwiches. They also offer a ton of snacks, cheese and appetizer like foods to take home. I highly recommend this place!

5 resounding stars all around. The cheese selection is second to none, the staff is courteous and as knowledgeable as you’d hope, and dear god those sandwiches! The #3 is excellent, but that #7 is simply one of the best in existence. Absolutely superb.

Cheese, charcuterie, chocolate… all you need is here. Seriously, this small storefront is power-​packed with more goodies than you could possibly handle. I guess that insures repeat business ! Smart folks, there.
I had enjoyed a couple parties catered by Wally’s (in conjunction with the Wine and Spirits Dept., one door North). There had been plenty of choices to work through, and as much as I loved their stuff, I’d never been to the source.
At last, for a special occasion, the time had come. I gotta say, as Special Occasions go, you’re all set. But, in fact, you can also go pretty casual here, and still do a nice job. I noticed they prepare sandwiches — that sound amazing. While browsing the store, I overheard there are two type of customers at Wally’s: Those who know to call ahead if they’re in a hurry, and those who are simply always going to be in a hurry, and so, leave unsatisfied. What a perfect way to get a sampling of how things work at Wally’s, as much as checking out their fine cheeses, etc.
Swing over to Westwood between Olympic and Pico — try a cheese or two. Order what you want, then as they prep that, visit next store and check out the wines and other bevvies. When you’re done, return to the Cheese Box for your stuff, and go party ! Can’t wait to do that again !

The people here know what they are doing. Listen to them, they know their cheese, meat, and all accoutrements.
The grilled panini sandwiches are legendary on the Westside. They give you samples of any meat you want, and if you’re looking for a cheese that even Bristol Farms doesn’t have, Wallys will have it.
Other than the grilled sandwich? They have a special sandwich every few weeks. I had a duck pâté Banh mi. It was maybe top 10 best sandwich I’ve EVER had.
Go there. You won’t be disappointed.
PS: they have alcoholic ice cream in an icebox.

Probably one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. (I really hope it wasn’t because I was hungry)
It’s a small place, almost like a tiny cheese deli. They also sell different imported chocolates and crackers. There’s a parking lot to the left of the store and benches outside that you can eat on.
Although it did take a while to make the sandwiches, it was well worth it. We got the Fresh Mozzarella sandwich (which came with oven roasted tomatoes, pesto, basil, balsamic, and olive oil) and the Wally’s Hero (which came with Italian meats, provolone, and some Italian dressing) Both sandwiches served on a ciabata roll
The ciabata bread was AMAZING. Super soft with a slight crunch on the outside. The mozzarella was SUPER fresh and they super generous on the slices of the mozzarella. I love me some cheeeese. I definitely want to come back here and try the truffle grilled cheese!
The workers here were really friendly as well. If you sit outside and let them know, they will bring the sandwich to you! They do take cards so don’t worry about bringing cash! Definitely a fan!
