Where can I get Clementine's grilled cheese?

Clementine is at 1751 Ensley Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024, in Century City on the Westside. Grilled Cheese Summer sandwiches are available to eat in, to pick up, and for delivery.

Can I get my grilled cheese order delivered?

Of course. Just like any other front-of-house order, we deliver subject to minimums and zoning.

How is the grilled cheese served?

Hot and ready. We'd recommend eating it here to get the full experience — melted cheese does not improve in a car — but you're welcome to order it for take-out or delivery.

How far in advance do I need to order?

Not far at all. You can order grilled cheese any day we're open, and it takes about 20 minutes to arrive melty and ready.

Are these sandwiches available for catering?

No. These are a front-of-house menu, and because they're served hot they're not part of our catering menu. Clementine's corporate and event catering is available separately.

Gluten-free bread is available on our build-your-own grilled cheese. Our kitchen isn't gluten-free, so we can't guarantee against cross-contact.

Twenty-Five Years
Ten Fan-Favorites
One Cheesy, Hot, California Summer

Grilled Cheese Summer is a limited-time menu of ten of our top grilled cheese sandwiches, pulled from twenty-five years of feeding Los Angeles — served hot at our West LA café on Ensley.

For twenty years, Grilled Cheese Month was a spring thing. Then it took a few years off after college. It's back now — tan, rested, and in no hurry — and it's not settling for a month. It's staying for the whole season.

Every sandwich is named for a stretch of California coast and built like it means it. Sharp cheddar and meaty chili, topped with Fritos. Meatballs, provolone and arrabiata on a seeded hoagie. Peaches and burrata, open-faced. Shrimp, salsa morita and avocado on the El Matador. And yellow cheddar on country white, because some icons don't need improving.

Cheese, bread, butter and heat are in the forecast, and Clementine's grilled cheese is always in the Golden State.

Starts Tuesday, July 14th, and runs through the end of August. Order online for pickup or delivery, or eat it here while it's still melting — which is, we'd argue, the best way to spend your summer.
