Locali - Hollywood

Great food and great service. The bad ass breakfast sandwich was the most satisfying breakfast I've had as a vegan. I will be back!

The food was really good! I loved the blondie sandwich the most it’s for sure something you will want to try! Although I did enjoy “The Blondie Sandwich” I would say as far as the “Franklin Phenomenon” for my taste or anyone who like flavor should ask to add mustard. The tater tots were yummy and crunch however the website was sort of misleading, as I ordered a large I was given a small box with very few tots in the box, the cashier insisted that the size I was given was the only size they offered. That’s was dissatisfying to know because i was offered two different sizes when I ordered. Over all I did enjoy “The Blondie Sandwich” so I will come back for that!

Imagine if a Whole Foods market decided to marry a 7Eleven in California and then had a baby; that baby’s name would be Locali, and it would grow up to chillax and live around the Hollywood area. The food selection that Locali offers is great for vegans and non-vegans, as all of their sandwiches are completely customizable with real meats and cheeses or their vegan substitutes. I ended up deciding on ordering the Ruben sandwich along with the Dragonslayer smoothie, and I also got and the Fugedabboudit sandwich (a name which I totally fudged upon ordering) for my sister. The Dragonslayer smoothie is so delicious and refreshing, the flavor was light and not overly sweet so I didn’t get a sugar rush or sugar crash after drinking the whole cup in one sitting, and since it’s made with coconut milk yogurt and oat milk, it wasn’t too heavy either like other smoothies made with actual whole milk yogurts. I was totes ready to slay for the rest of the day after drinking this! I actually got the Ruben sandwich because the guy working the counter recommended it, and I’m really glad that I took his recommendation, because the sandwich was delightful. There was a generous pile of seasoned turkey, swiss cheese, lots of sauerkraut, and Russian dressing sandwiched between two slices of beautifully marbled rye bread. At first glance, I was a little worried that there was too much sauerkraut in the sandwich, but it ended up being just the right amount, as it really complements the other components in the sandwich and brings all the flavors together in perfect harmony. They cut their sandwiches in half, so if you get 2 with a pal, you can both try 2 different sandwiches in one visit, but the sandwich halves are so big and stuffed with lots of fillings, that I think you can even just share 1 sandwich with your buddy. I was actually very full after eating 1 half, so I decided to save my other half for lunch for the next day, and it was still just as good.

This is the very first place we stopped to eat in Los Angeles after our flight and let me tell you, it was an excellent choice. The food here was BEYOND incredible. I was blown away, as this was just a quick choice I made without much consideration. After I finished my sandwich, I was tempted to walk up and grab another, it was so good. Definitely recommend this spot.

Tons of healthy options here including vegan, gluten free, local kombuchas, yerba mate, fresh juices! Very filling smoothies and nicely good-sized salad bowls! My favorite was The Ruben panini - delicious!
