Crema's Take
“Lee's Sandwiches in Artesia is a quick Vietnamese sandwich and coffee spot that's caught in a decline—multiple regulars report the quality has dropped noticeably over the past couple years, with complaints about stingy pours on drinks, inconsistent sandwich execution, and staff that seem more interested in rushing you out than serving you well. The location is clean and bigger than some sister shops, but that's not enough to offset the recurring frustration from people who used to be loyal customers. At 3.8 stars with a consistent thread of "it used to be better," this is worth skipping unless you're in a genuine pinch.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. Quick-grab spot. Light food on the menu.

Lee's Sandwiches is a complete rip-off. The workers are like robots, just churning out orders without any care or attention to detail. The fact that they have the audacity to ask for a tip when all they do is take your order and throw it together is ridiculous. I specifically…
