Board & Brew Opens Today – While This One Stops Being a Restaurant

As of 10:00 a.m this morning, Board & Brew opened its new sandwich shop at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Coast Highway. Yesterday, Co-Owner Mike DeSanti invited me into their “soft open” (aka: put the equipment and staff to the test). Aside from the fantastic French Dip I enjoyed, it’s really a thing of beauty to witness restaurateurs seeing their dream come alive.

Get down there this week before the weekend crowds converge, and welcome this new crew to Laguna Beach. (After all, Mike waited 15 years to get into this space.)
