We came in on a Saturday and was unable to find street parking so as others advised, I had my friend watch the car and drive around as I made my way to the shop. The shop was so cute, it's small but with everything you'd need for a cheese and meat party including breads, canned additions/fish, and wines! I grabbed a fresh loaf of baguette to add to the order. Both trays were ready and absolutely fresh. The honorable cheesemongers overlooking shop were very nice and helpful! One female worker was providing samples for a gentleman when he asked for recommendations and my cheesemonger asked what kind of cheese texture I generally liked and offered to give me a cheese from three different animals, which I thought was absolutely awesome! She even offered to help me carry my trays out. The veggie tray was awesome, a great size, half pickled half not pickled, the dips were both amazing! We got the green goddess and Calabrian chili aioli and both were such a hit at our get together. The peppers are slightly spicy and were so delicious. We loved the variety of cheese and did not have a single cheese we didn't like. The petite toasts with the meat and cheese board is a must! So good and crispy and a perfect size for a bite. The trays were really sturdy and we appreciated the care put into the layout. We'll definitely be back Oh La Vache!

The veggie sandwich though is our favorite. It is out of this world. Our server every time we go is Brandon and he's such a vibe and always makes the best wine recommendations.

What a gem this wine and cheese bar truly is. I don't live in Long Beach, but thankfully the drive…read moreis less than 20 minutes and even if it were longer I would happily make it. It's located in Bixby Knolls, surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, bars and breweries, yet it's the only true wine bar right there. Honestly, Long Beach has more wine bars than most surrounding areas, and since the South Bay is packed with breweries, if you're tired of beer this is your sign to switch it up. You will not regret it. The food menu has cheese boards, salads and sandwiches, and everything I've had here has been delicious. The cheese boards are better than sex. There is seating indoors and outdoors. It's minimal, but somehow we always manage to find a table. The service is consistently great and the owner is wonderful. She will be leaving soon and she will absolutely be missed, but what she has built here will definitely be cherished. The new owners fell in love with the place, so you can expect it to be well taken care of and to remain just as charming. Parking is street only, so read the signs carefully so you don't end up with a ticket. If you go on a Sunday there are no restrictions or time limits, which makes it even better.

We ordered a couple chopped cheeses, fries, onion rings, and chicken nuggets for the little one. Everything was delicious. The crispiness of all the fries foods were spot on. They offered up some delicious homemade sauces, and their cilantro one is bomb (not spicy but a little tangy). The chopped cheese was melty and delicious, and the bread had a nice chewy texture. Service was friendly and low-key. Food took a little while but was worth the wait. Everything was so good. We will definitely be back!

I'm sorry, but this place was so bad. Everyone has been raving about it for so long, possibly…read morebecause we just don't have a scene for NY-style sandwiches in Long Beach. However, this place doesn't do NY sandwiches justice. I got the chopped cheese and the philly cheese steak, both of which came with the same overcooked, overseasoned ground beef. I'm talking about this ground beef was gritty, crumbly, and just really unenjoyable. These were both served on rolls that were slightly stale and chewy, begging for a light toast to bring them back to life. Without enough cheese or sauce, these sandwiches were also dry.  I am so sorry to have to say all this, as I was personally excited by visiting this spot. I hope I went on an off day and that people have experienced higher quality meat and ingredients, but that just wasn't the case for me and I will not be back.

With my Afro Latino roots I was craving a Cubano sandwich and was thoughtful enough to grab a "Spicy Steve" and the service was attentive and top tier at the same darn time It's a quaint spot and mad me fee like I was diving into the better unknown secrets of Belmont Heights with pleasant results. Now what should never be allowed is the tasteless, seasonless and soulless potato salad that was presented to me at the counter which should be overhauled or punishable to the chef and crew by making them eat a years supply of this horrific concoction. All in all it was a delightful surprise and I'll be back shortly to enjoy that next round of fantastic sandwiches ! P.S. For the love of God rethink that potato solid it's a good way to lose business if it's that memorable !

I will admit, we are not the biggest gourmet/exotic cheese and meat & fruit connoisseurs, and one of our guests had a nut allergy but Steve impeccably and without judging curated a lovely collection of goodies that my guests loved.

They were not cheap, but we needed them to be easy to handle and self-contained since we were at a park. Steve - thank you so much for helping make our day.

We stopped by on a Monday afternoon, and there was plenty of parking (shared parking strip mall parking lot). I have been on the lookout for the best butter I could find to eat with fresh bread, since our Europe trip and settled on 'Rodolphe Le Meunier' to try. I was pleasantly surprised that one of the places that carry it, was right here in LBC. It's a smaller shop, manageable by one person. The owner/proprietor was very friendly, and gave us some suggestions on cheese (which we followed: Milton Praire Breeze $8.99) and fresh European bread, which we intend to try (with the purchased butter of course). I'm a sucker for sour dough flatbread crisps, so had to pick up a box of that ($8.50). Note that it has a small variety of cheeses, all already individually pre-wrapped (this is not a cheese shop where they have wheels of cheese, ready to be cut on-demand). Next time, will take advantage of the expert wine/cheese pairing.

We found this gem on Yelp, and I'm so glad we decided to stop in! We ordered two oven-roasted turkey and provolone sandwiches. My husband originally asked to add mustard since our preteen is a huge mustard lover, and the guy at the register said he could do it, but warned us it might ruin the sandwich. We quickly told him to make it the way it comes, and I'm so glad we listened! The sandwich was delicious, and the fresh-baked bread really put it over the top. We'll definitely be back if we're in the area. I also heard they have a pasta salad that I want to try, and the peppered turkey sounded amazing, so I'll definitely be trying that next time too!
