European-Inspired Wine & Cheese Bistro

Listing Number: 60363-469722

Description

Step into an award-winning Wine and Cheese Bistro that blends the charm of a European-style café with the energy of Long Beach’s thriving Bixby Knolls district. This highly rated bistro has become a neighborhood favorite for its warm, inviting atmosphere and an experience you won’t find anywhere else. Guests are drawn to the unique combination of gourmet cheeses cut to order, curated charcuterie boards, and a menu inspired by French and Italian flavors — all perfectly paired with an exceptional beverage program.

The business operates under a coveted beer and wine license (ABC 41), offering an impressive selection of boutique, natural wines sourced from trusted distributors along with a rotating craft beer list on tap and in bottles. Guests enjoy wine flights, beer flights, and seasonal specials that keep the menu fresh and engaging. With more than 70 five-star online reviews praising its food, wine, and atmosphere, the bistro has earned a reputation as one of Long Beach’s most beloved hidden gems.

Operations are streamlined with a cold kitchen setup, which eliminates the overhead and compliance requirements of a full commercial kitchen while still allowing for a high-margin menu of small plates, bruschetta, charcuterie, and seasonal specials. The bistro’s flexible 1,200 sq. ft. space includes both indoor dining and a charming outdoor patio, creating multiple revenue streams from dine-in guests, retail cheese and grocery sales, and popular to-go platters for holidays and events.
