Culinary venture Bread Head has opened its third sandwich shop in the US state of California, establishing a presence in downtown Westwood Village near the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

The new outlet, at 1136 Westwood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90024, will serve the brand’s range of cold and hot sandwiches, a selection of sides and drinks, and its chocolate espresso cookies.

The venture was established by chefs Alex Williams and Jordan Synder.

Bread Head CEO Greg Willsey stated: "We are elated to join the Westwood neighbourhood and to serve UCLA and the surrounding community. As we looked at potential areas to open our third sandwich shop, we felt that Westwood had the vibrancy and walkability that has made Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach such a great fit for Bread Head.

“We can't wait to introduce our delicious sandwiches to the UCLA students, local businesses and healthcare professionals that all share Westwood Village.”

The sandwiches of Bread Head are made with a custom focaccia, glazed and baked throughout the day.

Williams stated: "Our vision all along has been to be the neighbourhood sandwich shop that people come to for the food and the experience.

“We've crafted our sandwiches to be the best versions of timeless classics that we are all familiar with, perfect for a weekday lunch or to eat while studying for an exam. Our goal is to be a staple of the Westwood community, and we hope to be here for a long, long time."

In June, Bread Head opened a restaurant in Manhattan Beach, California.
