What was great: Exceptional sandwich quality with amazing flavor combinations, over 500 types of cheeses available, generous sampling policy before ordering, the prime rib sandwich with caramelized onions and the vegetarian sandwich with pesto and ricotta were both standouts
What could improve: The prime rib sandwich had a soggy texture
The Dishes
The team started with a $30 leoti prime rib sandwich featuring two types of cheeses, caramelized onions, and mustard seeds. Despite the reviewer's initial skepticism about mustard, he found this to be one of the better sandwiches he'd had in a long time. The standout flavor profile was exceptional, though the sandwich suffered from a soggy texture that slightly detracted from the experience. Next came the vegetarian sandwich, which surprised everyone with its quality. Featuring pesto, ricotta, and fried zucchini, this sandwich proved that vegetarian options can be just as satisfying as meat-based ones. The reviewers enhanced it further by adding balsamic vinegar, which elevated the flavors even more.
The Experience
Bev Hills Cheese Shop operates like an Italian Costco according to the reviewers, with an incredibly welcoming sampling policy. Before ordering any sandwich, customers can ask to try any product, cheese, or meat available in the shop. The staff opens items specifically for samples, creating an interactive and educational experience. This approach allows customers to make informed decisions and discover new flavor combinations they might not have considered otherwise.
Value & Pricing
The prime rib sandwich was priced at $30, which appears to be a premium offering. Given the quality of ingredients, extensive customization options, and generous sampling policy, the pricing seems justified for this specialty sandwich shop.
Notable Moments
This place is like Italian Costco. You can literally just get the cheeses, eat for free, and walk out.
This is actually more impressive that it tastes this good vegetarian because any vegetarian sandwich is usually not good if we're being real.
The video features friendly banter between reviewers about potentially having a steak off competition, with a $10,000 bet mentioned in jest.
The Verdict
Bev Hills Cheese Shop is a must-visit destination for sandwich lovers in Beverly Hills. With over 500 cheeses from around the world and a commitment to quality ingredients and customization, this shop lives up to its reputation as one of the best sandwich establishments in LA. The sampling policy and knowledgeable staff make it perfect for adventurous eaters looking to discover new flavor combinations. Whether you're a vegetarian or a meat lover, the quality here is undeniable.
