A nice little farmer's market located within walking distance from DTLB, selling fresh produce and…read moreprepared foods. Operating on Friday from 10:00 - 14:00, the Downtown Long Beach Farmer's Market takes up the North Promenade between 3rd and 5th street. The information desk and admin center booths are located on the south end (3rd street), with ready to eat hot foods north of 4th. Officially, only service animals are allowed, but we saw quite a few leashed dogs walking with their owners. It was a decent selection of fresh vegetables, much of which seemed to be grown by the vendors (the strawberries being an exception). There was also fresh bread, honey, and nuts. I did stop and purchase some cold noodles from a family run food stall called Yum Yum for $10. They were giving out free samples of the noodles which reeled me in....usually not a fan of cold noodles, but this version was good. Not sticky, with a good bit of chew, packaged very professionally. It came with a little reusable tote bag, which was convenient to use to bring the food home.

It's rather a small market, but the variety of fruits and vegetables is pretty wonderful and…read moresometimes there is a variety of cooked delicacies as well. You can find wonderful mushrooms and flowers in this market as well, along with a great juice stand. If you need fresh eggs, this is also a place to grab some.

Oh La Vache is located on a busy street of Long Beach but it's such a hidden gem. I preordered…read moreonline a veggie platter, a small cheese and meat board, some petite toasts, and the cheesemonger's choice for some extra cheese a week before pick up. 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. 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.

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.

I parked in the neighborhood across the street, right around the corner. Anyway, I ended up getting the Date Shake and added spinach and almond butter with a side shot of Sea Moss.
