I mean what can I say except The Vintage always hits. Always a great experience, great ambiance, and of course great food. My fiance and I are both pescatarian and there's plenty options. 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. This place is in a family friendly neighborhood and the restaurant accomodates children so don't be surprised if there's kids when you go. It's pretty normal. read more

What a gem this wine and cheese bar truly is. I don't live in Long Beach, but thankfully the drive is 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. read more

The cheese and wines were spectacular! More importantly, the service by Victoria and her colleague were above and beyond. The restaurant is small and quaint, my wife and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Mike read more

Such a fantastic, wine and cheese shop to enjoy the afternoon! Everyone working there is so welcoming and kind! The weather was perfect so we decided to sit outside for lunch on Mother's Day. We ordered Sangria and Blood orange spritzers and both were yummy! My daughter ordered the Italian stallion which was huge and so tasty! Wow! The quality of meats and bread was top notch! I ordered the Arugula & Limone salad and added the prosciutto. Perfectly dressed and yummy! read more

My new favorite wine bar! Stopped by today and stayed for a few hours. The vibe is so calm and cool and the food and wine is *exceptional*. Loved their current happy hour and Monday specials! We got a mini charcuterie board and two wines to start. Loved it so much that we got another two wines, bread, and their vintage "nachos." The nachos were too salty for me, but everything else was 10/10. Literally planning to be regulars here now! read more

I've been to the Vintage several times including a wine tasting. They have a wonderful menu - grilled cheeses, charcuteries, flatbread/pizza, yummy wines and delicious Sangria. Service can be slow, but it's the vibe of the place - sit, enjoy your wine and chat with your friends. We love the outside patio and we always buy some yummy extra cheese to take home. read more

Was looking for a place that was cool and casual for my dad's birthday since he doesn't like big fancy stuff. My partner found this place and it was such a good find. It's a great spot for you to come with some friends and grab a charcuterie board since it's what they are mostly known for. They have a wide variety of items do you can make your own board which is really cool. We all ended up getting sandwiches on our visit but they were really really good. We were told some of the dressings are made in house. The bread and ingredients all tasted nice and fresh. I got the handys smoked salame Sammie and it was so good I could get another. I know my partner and dad felt the same way commenting how good the sandwiches were. Service was great as well friendly and helpful and there's decent seating for the size of the place. Parking is street parking but it's not hard to find. Would we come back. Yes absolutely! We have to support local. read more

My friend brought me here for a belated birthday dinner. I have been wanting to try this place for a while and was happy that she agreed. You walk in and it's so eclectic decorated. A lot of the pieces on their wall gave me flashbacks to my grandmother's house. We sat and we brought a menu right away. I ordered the wedge salad and a flatbread. My friend is a picky eater so she got the grilled cheese. The wedge salad was so good. I could not stop eating it. My plan was to eat half the salad and half the flatbread, but I ended up eating the whole salad. I did have a piece of my flatbread, but ended up bringing it home and air frying it later as a snack. My friend who is a very picky eater loved the grilled cheese. She said she was a little afraid at first, but the bread the way it was grilled was just perfect. I don't drink so I had one of their nonalcoholic spritzer's, which was really really good. I've very much appreciate restaurants offering more nonalcoholic options for those of us who don't drink. I will definitely be back again probably with somebody that is not so picky about cheese, so I can try some of their charcuterie options. read more

Purchased a Groupon and almost forgot about it til the last minute (expires 12/25, closed on Mon and Tues, closed on Xmas Day) so used it on Sunday. Wasn't busy and we sat inside (outdoor seating as well). The Groupon was for a five cheese flight and 2 glasses of wine or 2 beers (we chose wine). Everything was amazing! Cheeseboard was huge that we weren't hungry for dinner that eve! We chose malbec for our wine and it was very smooth. Service was a tad slow but they were busy and the servers were just friendly as can be! Definite neighborhood gem and will go back. read more

Saw a groupon and decided to give it a try. 5 cheese flight with 2 glasses of wine. What a delightful surprise. All the fixings we chose were absolutely delicious and supported local vendors. Majority of the stuff they served you could buy a jar of and take home. Burning beak pepper jelly, castelvetrano olive, roasted tomatoes and garlic in olive oil were all incredible. I was actually impressed with the amount given. This made a perfect shareable for 3 of us. Not full, but definately a great appetizer to share. We enjoyed the weather in their outdoor patio seating. Enjoyed my Reisling as I people watched. Parking was also convenient and easy. Staff was great. We had a new waitress who was still learning the menu but such a delight. Her energy was great. read more

Came by to try their January Cheeses, so good! We had the red dragon cheddar, Bru XL Aged Gouda from the Netherlands, and my old time favorite, Humboldt fog cheese; a soft-ripened goat cheese from California's Cypress Grove Cheese (usually year-around). So far, my favorite is to combine their peppered beak jelly (local), salted Spanish Marcona almonds, over cheese, and cracker or sourdough bread. Can't get enough! read more

5 Stars Vibes? Super chill Food? Fire. Service? Top tier. We came as a date night on a Monday night and were literally the only ones there -- but it felt like a private dinner party in the best way. The space was cozy and chill, and the two women serving us (don't remember the names) had the best energy. Super warm, welcoming, and down to earth. It didn't matter that the place was quiet -- they brought the vibe with them. Now let's talk food: We had the Peacharella Grilled Cheese and the Whipped Ricotta Dip -- both were incredible. You could taste how fresh the ingredients were. The grilled cheese was sweet, savory, and melty perfection. The dip? Light, creamy, and so addicting. They even packed us some fresh bread for the road so we could keep dipping when we got home (a major win). Drinks were on point too -- we tried the Brio Pinot Grigio and Field Recordings Bright White Blend. Both super crisp and refreshing -- the kind of wine you want after a long day at work or to kick off a low-key date night. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a relaxed, feel-good place with quality food, good wine, and genuinely kind people running the show. read more

I've been back many times. Had some great food and drink. My last visit I had The Frenchie. Remarkable! The Vintage always combines ingredients that wouldn't occur to me, but somehow work. Also, when you visit their website and click on a menu you can actually read it.(A lot of restaurants take fuzzy pictures of the menu & post that. Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine.) It's going to rain the next few days, visit the Vintage for great food, service and ambiance. You will enjoy it. read more

I went to The Vintage for happy hour with a friend. I had previously attended one of their wine and cheese classes and was excited to explore more of their food offerings. My friend and I shared the Warm Goat Cheese and Date Spread--absolutely delicious! We each ordered our own Triple SSS Pinsa Flatbread because the description sounded amazing, and it did not disappoint. Unfortunatley, I didn't capture a picture of it because we ate it way too fast! We also shared a bottle of Los Bocheros Red Blend, a wine from South America. Since my friend is a member of The Vintage club, we received a 10% discount on our food, and because it was Wine Wednesday, the bottle was discounted by 35%. I definitely recommend checking it out on Wednesdays for great wine deals! I also ordered a cheesecake to go, which was also 10% off. The shop is small with limited indoor seating, but there are some tables and chairs on a small patio. There is usually plenty of free parking available on Atlantic and the side streets. However, since there are many restaurants in the area, you may need to park and walk a short distance to The Vintage, especially on busy weekend nights. read more

I've been frequenting this area of Bixby regularly (for WS and Dutchbrew) and didn't even realize this cozy wine bar that I probably have passed by several times would serve the yummiest cheese plates and sandwiches, excellent range of wines and just overall a nice, cozy vibe with excellent, friendly service. I definitely missed out all these years but made up for it by going twice in less than 24 hours, it was that good! read more

The Vintage LBC - The Caprese ~ Fresh burrata, pesto, lemony vinegrette greens, roasted tomatoes - Cheese Shops Near Me - Long Beach, California

I take such joy in reviewing this really wonderful little miracle of a fromagerie and wine restaurant! I have been begging to eat here for over a year and my regular weekly lunch companion finally made it happen. The manager was just opening up when we dropped in on a Friday at noon. A lovely glass of Prosecco immediately grabbed my attention and it was the perfect start for one of my favorite lunches in the past year. I ordered the "Frenchie" for my meal and it was the best ham sandwich I have had in forever. It features rosemary ham with Brie, cultured butter and lavender strawberry jam on toasted baguette. My friend ordered the Caprese sandwich on toasted ciabatta. We exchanged sandwich halves and I couldn't decide which I liked better. The ambiance is chill and happy and inviting. The service was impeccable and so well informed. If it wasn't 22 miles from home I would have that ham sandwich for lunch every day. read more

I randomly found this place on Yelp as I was looking for a wine tasting spot & came here today with hubby during lunch. Ambiance was small but had a cute decor & outdoor seating. We got seated right away & ordered a wine flight each with a caprese sandwich & burrata board to share. The server was nice & provided good service. He put a wine flight of his choice together for us which included a mixture of old world & new world wines. Server poured a generous amount per each glass & it went well with the food. The ciabatta bread was nicely toasted & warm to taste & the burrata in the sandwich blended well! The burrata board was good! I love that their menu had a huge selection of different bites to choose from as well as their wine selection. I also noticed that they sell all kinds of cheeses you can purchase to take home. I definitely want to come back to try their cheese/charcuterie board next time. read more

Cute spot for wine, charcuterie, and sandwiches with a small outdoor patio, which makes it dog friendly. The waiter with hot pink hair helping us was super helpful and friendly, making this spot even more enjoyable. While this spot is a little expensive, I enjoyed the 3 cheese platter and sandwich (the figgy pig) that I got. The 3 cheese platter comes with your choice of 3 cheeses, two accompaniments (I got cornichons and marinated tomatoes), and your choice of crackers or a baguette (I chose a mix of both). I can't remember the name of all the cheeses but the cheddar with mustard seed was delicious and I'd recommend trying it. Inside of the store is a cute market with lots of options to make your own charcuterie plate at home. read more

There are a few small tables inside and out and there should honestly be a line around the block for this place. I am a huge lover of a good glass of wine and some superb cheeses - this was definitely heaven on earth for me. If you're looking for a fun, casual and super yummy night out come heeeeere!

It was a tough decision, but I wound up with The "Ham & Cheese". It scratched an itch I wasn't even aware I had! Huge and filling. All really quality ingredients inside and out. I had a beer while I waited for my sandwich and the place was full of really nice locals. I wound up having a great conversation with some people while I waited including the owner who made you feel right at home. I will be back 100% for sure. read more

Walked in looking for a quick bite for take-out but ended up dining-in and glad I did. Friendly staff, great service. A good place to come with friends, order a bunch of options to share and try many delicious offerings. We got the Caprese Sandwich (does not disappoint) and The Figgy Pig (yummy treat, a bit on the sweet side). We went on a Sunday and noticed they have $2 Mimosas. Can you say Sunday Funday! Quickly ordered 2 mimosas with blackberry juice. Will absolutely come back and explore everything on their menu. Free Street Parking available, bring your appetite. read more

The manager/owners response to a paying customer, Linda A's complaint about being charged $4 for a very few crackers was totally condescending, demeaning, sarcastic and mean-spirited. "I hope your quest for free crackers is a fruitful one." Do you really disrespect your customers and their experience that much? A simple "I'm sorry that was your experience but...." would have sufficed and showed more class and consideration and would probably have guaranteed her returning. I guess the phrase "The customer is always right" does not apply to your restaurant. read more

This is such a great spot for wine and cheese. I absolutely love it here and highly recommend it.

The Vintage LBC is such a great spot to taste test cheese! It was our first time visiting, and the server was awesome: super friendly, patient, and gave us some great recommendations. We ordered the 5-cheese tray and added two meats ($5 each). Everything tasted amazing, but for the price, I was a little surprised we only got about 3 slices of prosciutto and bresaola. Presentation was beautiful, and we were promptly offered water, which was a nice touch. I liked that they included both crackers and bread. I personally would've enjoyed the bread a bit more if it were slightly toasted (just a preference!). I'm usually not a fan of olives, but the ones here were surprisingly delicious! Buttery and full of flavor. Also, for a five-cheese board, it would've been nice to have both jam and honey included, rather than having to choose one or the other. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I'd definitely come back. Great atmosphere, delicious cheeses, and thoughtful service! read more
