Staff was alright, but the person that was helping us was on her phone while taking our order lol. Very unprofessional. Sandwich and coffee were really good, of course.

I had a random craving for Lees Coffee and a croissant, so I came to this Lees Sandwiches. I had an overall really good experience at the Downey location, so I was hoping that it would be the same here at a more local location like this one in Artesia. I had a few problems here. The only good thing that this location has going for it is how nice and spacious the inside of the it is; it looked very professional and they have it set up so that you can do a tiny bit of food and drink shopping before you get something off of their menu.1) The Downey location had a GREAT drink selection. I went there just for the coffee and there were so many things that I wanted to try the next time I went there. For such a nice-looking and big location, the drink selection at the Artesia location was so small that it seemed rather embarrassing. There were only a few tea options, few juice and smoothie options, and decent variations with the coffee. They need to step it up.2) This was my biggest issue with this location and possibly the restaurant chainas a whole if this is the case at every location. When I went to the one in Downey, I noticed that they used A LOT of ice in their fantastic Iced Coffee. Upwards of 80% of the cup was filled with ice. Remembering this, I asked for a Large Iced Coffee with light ice. I was told by the cashier that if I did that, then Id have to pay more for it. Are you confused as I am about this? Let me explain. From what I gathered from the cashier, they specifically have to go by the recipe. This recipe calls for only 8 ounces of coffee (I assumed that the rest is just ice and a large cup is about 16 ounces). Because of this, getting light ice would mean that I would have to pay more to add more coffee to it ($1 to $2 more). This is the ONLY restaurant or beverage store that Ive ever been to that does this, and thats beyond ridiculous. On the inside, I was very annoyed by this, but I was curious as to what would happen if I was okay with this, so I happily agreed to it. What was even more frustrating is what they gave me; as you can see in the picture of the coffee, all they seemed to have done was add less coffee since it was the same amount of ice that they normally use. Lees Sandwiches need to let this constraint in the recipe go so that people can enjoy the coffee more and customize it to their liking. Nobody should be paying upwards of almost $6 for an Iced Coffee thats really 50% coffee and 50% water. If theyre doing this with their other drinks, then that needs to end as well.3) The last issue I had at this location was the size of the croissant sandwiches. I bought 2, one was a sausage, egg and cheese, and the other was a ham, egg, and cheese. The second picture is for reference. The Downey location had a bigger croissant (maybe by 30%) and the price wasnt that much different. On top of that, there wasnt much meat inside of it to justify an almost $5 price point.Overall, I can only give this location 2 stars. Id give it 1 star, but the croissant sandwich was great despite its size and lack of the meats, the Lees Iced Coffee usually doesnt disappoint outside of the issue that I presented, and the establishment looks very nice inside. Otherwise, this would be a 1-star review.

It’s extremely hot inside, no AC, only a fan that doesn’t cool anything. top of that when you arrive nobody is here to serve you and you have to wait at least 5 mins. nobody tells you to wait or something like that.

Lees delivers great food consistently. Their Vietnamese iced coffee is the only coffee Ill drink, and I go out of my way to get it. Their baguettes are delicious but the crust on the bread is very solid and will slice your gums up. I generally prefer getting their European sandwiches on a croissant to save myself the pain and suffering, but I do enjoy their bahn mi sandwiches when Im in the mood.The place is always clean, and Ive never waited an unreasonable amount of time to get my food.

Dumpster egg rolls. It looks like it’s been prep a month ago. Hard and taste like it’s super old.

I was hunting for an authentic Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich. When I arrived, the owner said, “‘Banh Mi’ just means sandwich.” That should’ve been my first clue that it wouldn’t taste right. The cashier did her best to make it Vietnamese style, but the bread and veggies are too thick with no soy sauce as requested. The texture was way off, too. The sandwich, with a minute amount of avocado and tofu (no meat), was $6.79. Wow. So the hunt continues...

Always a hit or miss for my hot sandwiches to be hot. I have yet to receive an iced coffee that is completely full. When you ask them to fill it up, they say no. Very rude and bad service. The picture isn’t as bad as other times
