Epicurus Gourmet is such a gem. It's a beautifully curated gourmet market filled with imported goods that you don't usually find anywhere else. Their selection of tinned fish is impressive -- high‑quality brands, great variety, and everything is displayed so thoughtfully that you can't help but browse a little longer. The French butter options are another highlight; rich, creamy, and absolutely worth the trip. The whole store feels refined yet welcoming. You can tell everything is chosen with intention, from pantry staples to specialty items. It's the kind of place that makes you excited to cook, explore new flavors, and treat yourself to premium ingredients. If you love gourmet products, Epicurus Gourmet is definitely worth visiting. read more

I was in tinned fish heaven, LET ME TELL YOUUUU. They have so many amazing brands, and even a couple that I've never had, or can easily get online. if we weren't in such a rush to get home (out of state) I probably would've stayed here for hours! They have "THE" French butter, and yes I went home with $100 worth of butter. No regrets. The workers were quite welcoming, and the prices are NOT overly marked up at all. I was expecting prices to be more expensive than usual, but I was very surprised and delighted to see that it wasn't. Whenever I head to this side of Cali, I'll be sure to stop by here for my treats. read more

Finally made it to this place, this is the 2nd time I went - first time I came by they were closed. This time I went on July 3rd in the afternoon and it looked small from the front but it's a huge warehouse once you walk in. My goal was to get some French butter as I saw they have a huge selection of it. I found so many other items like 3 freezer full of items like pain au chocolaté and croissants made in France. All you have to do is bake it at home. They also have frozen baguettes. I got frozen pastries and I also got some French butter and their selection is massive with different flavors. I typically get this butter at the grove but this place has sooo many varieties. I also picked up Italian flour (to make pizza dough) and canned pizza sauce that they recommended. I picked up some Patata Torres chips as well. Will definitely be back to explore the store more. Definitely worth the visit if you're into cooking and like gourmet foods. read more

What a great place to get goods from around the world! From the outside it looks like a warehouse with parking lot. I could never tell from the outside that they sell food inside. They even have the pulling baskets just like Paris does. Super friendly and knowledgeable team that help us decide from the huge assortment of items. They have a huge variety of tinned seafood, French butters, and cheeses. There's so much to choose from, I was here for an hour to browse every option before making my selections. I was impressed they have vietnam white peppercorns because that's my favorite pepper. I feel like I'm saving on flight tickets by getting my goods here. My friend got bread, Pate, fig jam, and pickles to enjoy just like he did in France. My other friend got an assortment of Asian chili oils that she enjoys on top of everything. I'm looking forward to trying the seafood tins I got. read more

Located in a non-descriptive space, Epicurious Gourmet has a treasure trove of amazing gourmet food items. I don't know why I waited so long to visit! Upon entering there are shopping carts and baskets. Take a rolling one (trust me) and get ready for a wonderful store filled with food stuffs that will make you swoon. The neatly stacked shelves are filled with things like chocolate, jam, pasta, tinned seafood, chips, and pasta are all neatly organized. Tags indicating country of origin (largely from Europe) are helpful. There are refrigerators full of charcuterie, cheese, and French butter. Freezers have ready to bake breads and pastries from a bakery in Canada. It's actually quite overwhelming (in a very good way), if you don't know what you need. You'll definitely see lots of things you want. The people that work here seem happy and are very helpful. When we were looking at chips, one of the employees shared his favorites. The best part of the visit was meeting the owner. He was enthusiastic and extremely informative! He told us that everything in the store was sampled and scrutinized for taste and quality. He knew everything about the products and why they were sourced. He helped me find a delicious arbequina olive oil from Italy and tins of sardines packed it butter. Swoon. By the end of our visit my basket was full! While the items here are pricey I truly think that the quality is worth it. Parking is plentiful and conveniently located just outside. The store is clean and well organized. Bring your own reusable shopping bags because you'll need it for all the wonderful goodies. Definitely returning!

Their tinned fish section is amazing! There were so many options. I didn't know what to get. The grocer helped me choose and I'm excited to try them! I think I went into a fugue state because when I left, I had over $200 in gourmet items! I picked up some amazing cheeses, meats, tinned fish, olive oil, and French butter. They also had my favorite olive oil. I bought 2 bottles. They were smaller bottles than what I would normally purchase, but per ounce it was still less expensive than my usual 750ml one. Saving money on my favorite consumables is a total score in my book! I will definitely be going again, but maybe I will have to put myself on a budget. The whole experience was wonderful! read more

If you're looking for high-quality European groceries that you can't find at regular grocery stores, this is the place. I first came here because I was looking for a specific butter, but I found many other interesting products as well. You can probably find some of these items on Amazon, but it's much better to see them in person. The prices are also very fair, so I prefer shopping here instead of buying online. read more

For food lovers like myself, there's no better place to discover true epicurean delights. From butters, pastries, and artisan breads to sardines, olive oils, cheeses, and caviar--this shop has everything you need to create an unforgettable dinner party or a beautifully curated gourmet picnic. I've been coming here for years, and it has long been a staple for me, and many others, especially during the holidays. It's one of those special places you return to again and again because you know you'll always find something exceptional. The service is consistently helpful, and the prices are exactly what you'd expect for thoughtfully sourced, imported items from afar. Respectfully reviewed. read more

Where has this place been my whole life?! We walked in hunting mizithra cheese (didn't have it today), and ended up wandering around like kids in a candy store except the candy is artisan cured meats, cheeses from around the globe, mustards, vinegars, olive oils, sauces, and all kinds of gourmet goodies. They literally stock over 2,500 items from Europe and beyond, with new arrivals showing up every week. The employee was super helpful and suggested a La Tur cheese from Caseificio dell'Alta Langa, (he said it's similar to triple cream Brie) and one of their French baguettes (baked in Montréal and shipped in frozen, how awesome is that???!!!!! ). We also grabbed a pistachio mortadella on a whim. Back home, we threw together a quick charcuterie board and let me tell you, that baguette was insane. 7 minutes in the air fryer at 350F and out came what might honestly be the best baguette I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, pillowy soft inside, paired with that La Tur (which I normally don't even like Brie-like cheese) and boom: total foodie epiphany. This place really is a food lover's playground. Whether you're stocking up for a special board or just want to explore weird and wonderful flavors you can't find at the usual grocery store, it's worth a stop. Honestly already plotting my next haul. Highly recommend dropping by if you're into good food and great finds. read more

What a hidden gem! I've heard about this spot for a while and didn't really know what to expect. It's in a warehouse type building, so there's not much signage. It's pretty bare bones inside, but there are shelves and shelves of AMAZING products you can't find anywhere else. I did like two solid laps in the store before actually shopping because I was in awe of what they had to offer. An employee came over and asked if I needed help and honestly, I didn't really know what I was looking for, but I told her I was interested in some sort of Italian chocolate treat. She picked out these cookies for me that I think have changed my life. I would upload a picture but the bag may or may not have already been fully consumed. They are called Pan di Selle! They've got pastas, sauces, candies, butters, jams, and sardines galore! They also have baking supplies for making bread for any sourdough people out there! I ended up getting the bag of cookies, a bag of pasta and a little jar of pesto. I can't wait to cook them up! I definitely think this would be a fun place to shop for the foodie in your life. Prices are not too bad, depending on the item. I can't wait to come back to do some holiday shopping! The inside of the store is very spacious which makes for a pleasant shopping experience. read more

I've been supporting this business for about two years now, spreading the word, and commuting quite a ways to get my preferred bread baking flour..... HOWEVER, with time, I found expired or near expired ingredients on the shelves and not the reaction I expected when I brought it to their attention. Even with all the social media hype, it seems that certain products are not moving off the shelves quickly enough. They agreed to special order certain varieties of flour for me but I had to persistently follow-up; the level of customer service promised or implied isn't what I experienced. This is a great little warehouse with lots of goodies, and I'll continue to pop in when I'm in the area, but I feel they fell short in aligning with the type of customer and home chef/baker who values freshness and quality. read more

Epicurus Gourmet - Butter!!! - Specialty Food Near Me - North Hollywood, California

My hubby and I had so much spending $400+ in 1 hour lol. We went throughout the entire store, picking out imported goods that looked good and fun to try. We got 2 types of caviar, beautiful chocolates, cans and cans of sardines, white fish, anchovies and everything we think we needed. I forgot to pick up French butter that everyone raves about so I will have to come back. Matty was so helpful and suggested food pairings to different things we bought so we'd have the best party of 2 assortment spread at home. What a treat and fun store to visit. read more

Wonderful grocery store with a huge selection! They carry brands and items that are hard to find elsewhere. Don't pass up under frozen baguettes and croissants, they are imported and absolutely delicious! I always stock up on their pasta, sauces, and meats in the freezer, as well of their cans of tuna and sardines! Prices are high, but considering the novelty of the items and the quality it is worth the splurge! Plenty of free and easy parking and the staff was also very friendly and helpful, highly recommended if you are looking to cook a special meal! read more

love this place!!!! Expect to come in for French butter and walk out spending $100+ because there is so many delicious items (chocolate hazelnut spread , chestnut jam, every tinned seafood). They have frozen croissants and bread for the oven and everything you covid sourdough bakers could need. Making a charcuterie board? This is absolutely your one stop shop. Staff is always helpful if you ask for help - over and beyond fantastic. at check out I asked about walnut oil and they handed me one they couldn't sell for free- Come check them out so we can keep them around! read more

A fun little shop with unique, curated items that you may not find in your average grocery store! It's accessible through a pretty empty side lot with plenty of parking. There was a decent amount of foot traffic inside and we had no issues with parking. Once inside, it feels like you are inside a large warehouse with racks and tables of curated goods. You can expect to find goods ranging from all your specialty charcuterie needs (multiples fridges against one wall with lots of cheeses, pate, meats as well as olives, crackers, jams) to items that you may want to experiment with in your home kitchen. They have a wide selection of dried pasta shapes, olive oils and even a selection of jars of duck fat, beef tallow, butters. If you're just looking for some fun snacks, they have things ranging from imported shortbread crackers to foie gras chips. They also have a selection of some Asian goodies -- but other than maybe some special shoyu you can probably get these elsewhere in a grocery store within the price mark up. Only giving it one less star because for the average consumer things might be on the pricier side but great place to explore for special occasions, gifts, or if you just want to be a bit experimental with your cooking/food! Definitely stop by if you love a good charcuterie spread! read more

Really fantastic olive oil options. Trade off though, some reviews and descriptions online say they do olive oil tastings - they do not. So you've gotta just buy and try. But the prices are really great for such high quality olive oil, and they'll guide you to the flavors you're looking for. I wanted a lemony oil and a peppery oil, they guided me right to them, great prices and they've been fantastic with arugula salads and rosemary bread. read more

Fascinating store. So many unusual items there. Staff friendly and helpful. You could easily blow your budget here easily Highly recommend every foodie come here. You won't be disappointed read more

Great stop. Been seeing this place around online and had to go particularly to check out their selection of butter, cheese, bread/croissants. I was absolutely so impressed by the frozen baguette. By the time I got home (I came up from WestLA) it was defrosted and I could barely even tell it was frozen. After warming it according to package directions, I can't lie to you when I say that it is some of the best baguette I've been able to find in LA. I haven't tried the frozen croissants yet, but they look promising. Other highlights included the marinated feta in the fridge section and the sheer amount of balsamic options (my favorite condiment). I'll make the drive again, hands down. read more

Lovely curated gourmet foods. Their tinned seafood collection is amazing. It spans the globe representing large and small operation canneries. You'll find something at your price point. Same with the extensive chocolate collection. Staff is very helpful. They cook and use their ingredients. Nice that they can give first hand experience and knowledge. Bring a cooler and stock up on cheese, butters and fresh pasta. Nice place to discover hard to find products. read more

We've shopped here a half dozen times since recently moving to Los Angeles and they always have the finest inventory (the good stuff ONLY) and the most kind and accommodating team. Today the whole staff went above and beyond to satisfy our search for 25kg bag of tipo 00 Caputo flour, even draping a leather jacket over the large bag to protect on the short walk to the car it in the rare LA rain (parking is always plentiful and accessible here too)! We felt especially considered by Hillary, ensuring we will be returning here for all fine Italian foods! read more

Located in an industrial strip building at the unnoticeable corner of Lankershim and Sherman Way, this spot is a hidden gem in the Valley. With imported and specialty food ingredients not readily found in mainstream grocery stores, I shop here for all of my favorite European staples: butter, croissants, pasta, chips, crackers, chocolates, and even seasonal items like fresh truffle. These items are not only elevated in quality, but also taste. While some of their products can be found in other specialty shops, Epicurus Gourmet offers everything under one roof and often at slightly better prices. The staff is also very helpful and will guide you in locating items throughout this spacious warehouse market. If you like traveling for not just sightseeing but also for the food, shopping here feels like a little culinary trip. My meals definitely tast better with ingredients purchased at Epicurous Gourmet. read more

So many different kinds of pastas (imported) , olives , pickles , tinned fish, etc. way too much to list here, prices seemed reasonable on most items and some items were out of my budget, I just went over the weekend for the first time so haven't tried too much of what I got yet* but can't wait to try it all! There is such a selection of very unique items , some with such amazing packaging/ art , so this place would be a great place if anyone is looking for a gift/gifts! read more

Wow. Simply... wow. I stepped into a hidden room of wonders from all around the world. Yummy wonders. I had to hold back from dancing down the aisles. Who am I kidding? Yes, I did dance down the aisles. ;) The cheese fridges are a wonder to behold, I know I will try each and every one of them. I went home with two different butters. Had to hold back from buying a third one, the vanilla butter. Yes you read that right. Omg. Next week it will be mine. Don't leave without the frozen French croissants. Again. Omg. Take my money. read more

The largest collection of Sardines from all over the world, each more interesting than the next. Got a bunch from Spain and my favorite was the curry one - do not sleep on that Sari wearing Sardine.

Also, the owners/employees are a delight you can literally walk in there clueless and they'll share some stories and insight and you'll leave with something you'll love. Just stop reading this and go okay. It's an experience. read more

If you visit this shop make sure you aren't in a rush and have enough time to really look at everything and to take at least two full laps around the shop while stopping to read labels and even the hand written signs the shop has put up. You should also absolutely take the time to speak with the staff because their recommendations are how you're going to find the hidden gems. I stopped in with a friend and even after we had looked at everything ourselves they managed to point out a few things we had not noticed like a special French butter they get only once a year and a jowl bacon! I was most excited to see that they carry Humboldt Fog cheese which has become one of my favorite cheeses and even though I live in the same State where it's made it's still quite rare to find. Epicurious Gourment is the perfect shop for all of us Bon Vivants out there. read more

Seek this out if you're a foodie looking for stuff you can't find in regular stores. It's pricey but worth it every once in a while.

A true gem in NoHo. This is the perfect stop if you're into charcuterie boards, picnics, gift baskets and just all around unique and delicious adult snacks, spices and sauces. A large selection of artisan cheeses, spreads, crackers, tomato sauces, oils, vinegars, caviar and oh so many sardines! My favorites are the wagu beef Pattie's and the selection of sweet and savory spreads! They offer so many products in a 'try it' size so I love that I get to try so many new things without paying a lot for just one item without ever trying it first. Located right next to game dude, they have plenty of parking and a friendly staff. They are a family owned business so you know they put so much love and care into this place! Enjoy! read more

My new favorite store to visit for gourmet ingredients! It was a random find while visiting the game store in the same warehouse vicinity. The store front is very inconspicuous as Epicurus is located in between warehouse buildings, but you won't miss it since it has a big sign. Once you're inside there are so many different ingredients from artisanal cheeses and meats, jams, mustards, ready to bake breads, dried and fresh pastas, and so much more! They source a lot of their products from different countries so you're able to find some hard to find ingredients here. I love creating my own grazing/charcuterie board and Epicurus has a wide variety of products from different countries to make my boards special. The items seems fairly priced as compared to other smaller artisanal product vendors. Wills definitely come again for more good finds! read more

Roll me in butter and slap me into a pancake - this place is just effing GORGEOUS. Visited this spot for the first time today and was absolutely blown away by the joy, love, care, attention, passion and expertise in this place. Pure electricity that took my friggin' breath away. I was overwhelmed as I stumbled around with my kid who also was in awe. The staff are fantastic. Eric is a master Jedi and was so thoughtful, energetic, detailed and soooooo fun with his descriptions, guidance and suggestions. I am was so so happy to hear that that this place is extending its square footage as well. (Thank you Eric for sharing and showing us the new space!). I don't know what to say. You just have to go. Imagine yourself in some great food adventure and you enter a vast other wordly cathedral filled with gems and golden treasure. That's Epicurus Gourmet. I've been in LA for well over three decades and its rare that I am frozen in my footsteps when walking into a new spot - but this place did it. A vast Disneyland of tinned fish, butters, pastas, meats, chocolate, spices, so so much more. Honestly, for anyone passionate about food and cooking, it may make you cry visiting this spot. Perfection. Go. Many thanks to Eric and the entire staff for making our first visit with you wildly memorable and deeply enjoyable. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Soooooooooo glad you are nearby! read more

My colleague Nathan had recommended Epicurious to me the other day at work. I'm so glad I made the trip out, it's only 15 minutes from my house and I couldn't be happier about that!! French, Italian some other European countries and some Asian goods. The butter selection is killer. Baguettes imported from France, jarred and canned pantry staples, cheese selection is divine and vacuum sealed. Store is incredibly well lit, beautifully displayed items inside, very well stocked shelves. I love the hand written price info tags on the shelves, very charming. Well behaved dogs on leash are welcomed. Bring your own grocery bags otherwise they offer boxes. Prices are competitive with other similar import stores, I'd say there are definitely some fairer prices here than the other stores. Credit cards only, cash is not accepted. If I have to describe this store using other stores... hmm I'd say it's like Eatily met with Costco! Expect a wait for check out, perhaps if you go with two or more people one person can stand in line if you know you only need a few more minutes. There is only one check out. Insider tip: ever since they blew up on social media, Kevin the owner and new management decided to significantly increase inventory because there's a higher demand. Due to inventory increase, there is no longer a limit on how many pieces of butter you can purchase. read more
