what a place. walked in and was greeted with a smile and a hello. I was already loving this place for the ambiance and hospitality. The chef customized my sandwich to my liking with no hesitation. A pleasant conversation with the owner/son/mom duo was fun and made me feel like a human again. I havent even shared how good the sandwich was. Its one of the best …of California to be honest with yall. I took my sammy to an undisclosed location and everyone was rubber necking my sandwich. Needless to say, come to this spot. They also have pastries, coffee and other cool things.

A special place in Long Beach for delicious sandwiches!
Using high-quality meats, cheeses and breads, the Proprietor’s entire menu of French-inspired flavors invites guests to make repeated visits to try all her sandwich offerings. Chip varieties, delicious cookies and other baked treats round out the meal.
The Owner and her staff are hospitable and attentive to their customers, inside this cosy and authentic shop.
Come and enjoy this small business gem in Long Beach!

Can’t believe this was our first time coming in here. I live just blocks away. Fun vibe, owner very sweet, sandwiches were incredible. Obviously quality ingredients. I had the Croque and my partner the vegetarian. She said it was one of the freshest, most flavorful vegetarian sandwiches she’s had. Will be back soon.

Cute, cozy spot with a curated menu of sandwiches and an intriguing bakery case.
I had the Waldorf sandwich. Usually not a fan of croissant sandwiches because I kinda feel croissants should be enjoyed and allowed to shine on their own, plus they tend to smush.
But, fortunately, this croissant was sturdy enough to hold the filling, which was VERY good and very fresh tasting.
This is definitely a sandwich shop for cheese lovers, but they do have a vegan option in the California Vegan!
Also picked up their tomato burrata tart, which was chewy/gooey, flaky, and juicy from the seasoned grape tomatoes.
Overall really enjoyed my visit and my meal and I’ll keep it in mind when I’m walking around that part of the neighborhood again.

This has become one of my favorite places for lunch. All of their sandwiches are so good & you can tell that they use quality ingredients. They also offer some amazing baked goods and I highly recommend their triple chocolate cookie with Maldon sea salt. Lately, my favorite sandwich has been their Wild Alaskan smoked salmon on a cheddar and jalapeño bagel. Their house made creamy chive smear is so good! My photo is of their bagel sandwich. I also highly recommend their capretzel sandwich, the pretzel roll is so big and soft and the hunk of sheep’s milk cheese is amazing.

Excellent food. We had the German pretzel and an arugula side salad – delicious! And the owner was kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

La Croque is a quaint neighborhood grab and go sandwich shop. I’ve tried the capretzle and the lox bagel. The capretzle is basically a caprese on a shiny pretzel roll – while I loved the flavors I felt like the bread was a little too chewy for my taste (maybe a side effect from sitting in the display). The lox bagel was a perfect balance of veg, crunch, sweet and savory. I normally am a purist, only going for everything bage’s, but the cheddar jalapeño bagel was DELICIOUS and the best rendition of that flavor that I’ve ever had. Definitely the spot to stop by on your way to the beach or park and such a lovely addition to the neighborhood. Will be back again and again!

The wonderful owner of Happy Cow Kitchen transformed her shop into La ‘Croque, showcasing her many delicious sandwich inventions. On Sundays she offers popular desserts which may include cream horns, fruit strudels, pies or cakes. Everything is homemade using fresh ingredients. I was lucky enough to get the last pear strudel during my recent visit and I also grabbed a few cookies. I look forward to trying the pastrami sandwich. One of my favorites is the Capretzel, especially when I want a break from meat. All her goodies are delicious and crave worthy! Help the environment and bring your own containers and bag. Lastly, be sure to follow La ‘Croque on Instagram to get the latest news!

Best sandwich in town? More like best sandwich on the continent. I got the California vegan and it’s honestly the tastiest sandwich I’ve had in about 15 years. Also, the vibes are super high in here. Y’all just got another regular.
