Montana Ave’s sleekest sandwich counter, Bread Head is where ex–Trois Mec chefs trade tweezers for focaccia—crackly, golden, and thick enough to carry a mortadella muffuletta or za’atar-dusted veggie stack without flinching. The space is minimalist, the bread is maximalist, and the sandwiches are MacBook-sized (pro tip: go halfsies unless you’re napping after). It’s casual, it’s precise, and it’s already a neighborhood staple. Come hungry, leave slightly smug.
