Panini’s

Love this place! The boss bought us lunch today… so when I went to pick it up, the secretary’s salad the boss paid for looked so good, I had to buy my own as well! Yah, it was THAT GOOD!!! Prices are fair and the food is GREAT so I couldn’t be happier on this very HOT DAY!

I love paninis and for some reason there are like zero panini places around Long Beach or even the Los Angeles area. Thankfully this place does not phone it in. The paninis I’ve had so far have been amazing. Crispy pressed bread and classic ingredients. I’ve only had the vegetarian, the chicken pesto, and the chicken jalapeño and they are all awesome. I want to venture to the wraps and less conventional paninis soon.
The eat 24 app is pretty great and you get a buck off if you check in!

You have got to try the CAJUN PANINI!!! It has chicken bacon, red onions, pepper jack, chile ancho mayo. I LOVED IT mom n pop place and they know what they’re doing. Promptly served. Portion was very good for only 7 bucks nom nom nom.

These are awesome. I swung by for a quick lunch since it had great reviews and I was not disappointed with their paninis!

This place was so yummy. I got the Italian panini. And it was so tasty I also got a iced vanilla laté and it was surprisingly perfect :). My friends ordered a salad and it looked so amazing and potato salad ! The presentation on both were so nice. The customer service was perfect as Well. Love this place for sure will go back

Solid sandwiches and juices. Good for a pit stop off the highway. Cajun Chicken Panini was enjoyable. Salads look good too.

Amazing ! Fresh and fast service. I had the Turkey and Avocado. I will definitely be going back to Panini’s !

Their service is so friendly and very nice. It seems like a family owned business, small but cozy and welcoming feeling.
I’ve been trying their chicken pesto panini which is very good. Nice combination of chicken & pesto. But I tried an egg plant veggi panini that blew my mind. It was so good! There are so many kinds of veggi that filled me up.
They also have fresh squeezed juices. Yummy!
I’m so glad they are there providing such a great service and food :)

Really good panini! Got the turkey and avocado and it was delicious. There was some kind of yummy goodness in the mayo or whatever kind of sauce it was they used. I am looking forward to going back and trying more.

I love finding little neighborhood gems. Their paninis are delicious and fresh. Service can be a bit slow at lunchtime due to the lunch rush, but it’s also due to the fact they make the sandwiches from scratch.

Nice, and clean restaurant. A little solo on Saturday morning but thats a good thing, right? No waiting. I had a delicious chicken, avocado, bacon, onion etc, on ciabatta bread. So far best Panini, wasn’t too much a fan of the pomegranate «Italian» soda. But over all service was excellent. Total cost $ 14.

I would have never come here without planning to ahead of time, which is really a shame, because the sandwiches are great. I brought in my mom for a late breakfast/​early lunch. I got the pesto chicken panini with avocado and a cinnamon twist, and my mom got a turkey and swiss bolillo special that came with a side salad and drink (my mom got coffee instead) and a raspberry almond pastry.
The cinnamon twist was on point. It was sweet, but not too much so, and it was both crispy and soft/​gooey. I could probably eat one of these every day if I wasn’t worried about gaining a thousand pounds. My mom’s was a little dry for my taste, but that’s what she wanted, so she was a happy camper.
We both enjoyed our sandwiches (I think I love pressed breads…) and wouldn’t mind coming back again — for either food or dessert.
I do think there should be regular seating inside, though. All the tables and chairs within are counter height (stools, etc.), and not everyone is able to sit on these (my grandmother wouldn’t be able to, for example). There are regular sets outside, but I think it would be nice if there was an option for that inside as well. Just a suggestion.

Great tasting food, good prices, decent service.
I ordered the turkey avocado panini… Delicious! The honey mustard accented the sandwich nicely. Rations were surprisingly bigger than I expected.
Came with pasta salad… Yum! The best pasta salad I’ve tasted (granted I’m not a huge Italian food fan).
Price was reasonable. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because I went right before the lunch rush and the lady at the counter took an unacceptably long time. She was talking with what looked like a building contractor for a good 10 – 15 minutes while I waited in line in an empty restaurant. She could have taken my order real quick and went back to what she was doing. But I heard good things about this place, so I was patient; I’m glad I was!

This place has gluten free bread that doesn’t taste like a manilla file folder! They also have chicken Caesar salads which yummy Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese that sort of tastes like feet (I do not like Parmesan cheese… so to the cheese connoisseur, it may be perfectly fine cheese!) This place saved my life last year when I thought I had all these food allergies I don’t actually have and I was eating like a carnivorous rabbit. It’s right across the street from my part-​time job so I’m here pretty often. Yum!

Friendly employees and great food!
This feels like a real mom and pop shop. I asked if they could do a decaf iced coffee drink (I know decaf is not always available) and they quickly said yes. It wasn’t until after my drink was done that I discovered they brewed decaf especially for me, without a moment of hesitation. This was at lunch time, so not necessarily the most popular coffee time. It’s a small thing, but I was impressed!
Eggplant panini– so delicious! And they have jalapeño potato chips!
Quick and easy street parking
Seating inside if you want to hang out, or you can call in your order and they’ll have it ready to go!

So happy this place is finally carrying gluten free bread!
I ordered the Turkey Club. Dealing with gluten free bread is tricky because it falls apart so easy. I was pleased to receive a perfectly grilled sandwich. Because of the size of the bread, they give you two sandwiches… I can save and eat one later, score!
Pros:
Fresh Ingredients
Super Friendly Staff
Gluten Free Bread
Cons:
Can take a bit for your sandwich during peak lunch hour. Plan ahead to wait a bit so you aren’t disappointed.

Amazing chicken pesto sandwich! I love paninis! I also order the roast beef + avacado on rye, great combo and the prices are good too.
Quality bread, meat, and veggies!
Sub who?
My go to place when I’m in the Long Beach/​Signal Hill areas

I’ve never been disappointed by any of their sandwiches (the turkey cranberry panini is GREAT), but I do not recommend their lentil soup.
It tasted like a cup of water that happened to have lentils in it. Needless to say I tossed it in the trash.
Sometimes the service is a bit slow, but you see them making each order with care so I never mind. The cherry peppers are a great touch if you like spice!

Sooo hungry for meat and eggs. No thank you this morning for muffins, cookies, donuts, & scones from most coffeehouses. Especially after a good run and gettin’ my body adjusted.
Brekkie Panini w/​large LavAzza Coffee, please!
–Prosciutto, egg, cheese… and please add sliced avocado to my panini :) All for under $ 9! Free refills on coffee! $ 1 off panini sandwich from 2pm to 4pm. Doesn’t state it until you check-​in so my guy hooked me up. Oh Yaya! Thanks again!
No trouble finding parking here (tho I got here when they opened at 0900). Small private parking near the side of the building and a few 10 mins spots out front. FYI, they’re closed on Sundays. Open from 0900 to 1500 the rest of the days of the week.
They got a good selection of magazines for your entertainment and free WiFi here! Plenty of vitro barstools and tables indoors and several bistro patio seatings outdoors in this industrial part of the LBC. Clean orange scented bathroom… tho they need to fix the lighting that’s sensored… light kept shutting off every 30 sec. On my way out, I noticed complimentary help-​yourself iced water jug. Did I forget to mention they play old school classic rock?
Another great brekkie spot for me! Oh Yaya, I’m definitely a fan here!

It’s easy to overlook this place! It’s a tiny little place tucked away in Signal Hill on a street that is not so appealing.
I came here a few months ago with Josh around lunch time. We ordered from the Bolillo Lunch Special. It includes a choice of a sandwich (Mortadella & provolone, turkey cranberry, Albacore tuna, turkey & swiss, or ham & swiss). It also comes with a small mixed green or Caesar, and a drink. All for $ 7.99.
I got the tuna because it was was a Friday during Lent and wasn’t supposed to eat meat. The tuna was good. I felt the sandwiches were a bit small for the price. The salad was perfect. It’s what all caesar salads should taste like. I accidentally tried my friend’s turkey cranberry panini. Oops. I usually don’t like the combination of fruits and meat, but this sandwich changed my mind.
Overall a very good panini joint. I want to come back here to try their breakfast sandwiches.
