I found Char-CUTE-rie on Instagram while looking for something special to bring to a garden party, and I'm so glad I decided to stop in! I ordered the Cuter Box, which serves about 4 to 5 people, along with a personal Cute Box for someone attending the party who doesn't eat meat. I really appreciated having the option to accommodate them without having to change the larger box for everyone else. The experience of putting my box together was one of my favorite parts. The gentleman helping me was incredibly patient and walked me through the different cheese options, letting me sample several of them as I decided what I wanted. I never felt rushed, and you could tell he genuinely wanted me to leave with a combination I'd enjoy. My box included a selection of meats like chorizo, pepperoni, prosciutto, and capicola, along with several cheeses, including Brie, beer cheese, maple cheddar, and a few others I unfortunately forgot the names of because I was too busy sampling everything. And the finished presentation?! Beautiful. The little meat flowers were just as cute in person as they looked online. They even surprised me with some extra fruit and cheese, which was such a thoughtful touch. Most importantly, everything tasted as good as it looked. I brought the box to the garden party and it ended up being a hit, which was exactly what I'd hoped for when I started looking for something special to bring. Between the personalized service, ability to sample different options, beautiful presentation, and quality of everything in the box, I had such a great first experience with this small business. I'll definitely be back! read more

Saw this gem on IG just steps away from Central Park (1.5 blocks away) and knew I had to make it one of my stops. Lots of selection and they let you sample anything you want to put in the box before you add it. We got the medium size box was $35 and let me tell you it was filled to the TOP! 2 meat, 2 cheese, fruit, nuts, a spreed and crackers. Now we did see crackers for sale so we confirmed that our selection and with crackers (which we were told it did). They also have a nice beverage selections, waters, juice, alcohol and even caviar for additional purchase. We rented the basket and blank and headed to Central Park. Upon unpacking (once we walked through the park for awhile) we noticed we had no crackers. We called and they said to come back, hubby was nice enough to walk there and back (fast paced) 18min just for crackers so that was a lil annoying. But everting else was great. read more

Char-cute-rie - Cuties + Cuter Box (serving 2) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

My partner spontaneously decided to do a picnic in Central Park and found this cute little spot for us to grab our supplies. Located right across from the Columbus Circle section, this quaint little shop allows you to rent picnic baskets, charcuterie boards or purchase a treat box to go. Boxes range in sizes from a personal box, one for a coupe or ones that feed 6-8. Each box comes with one meat, two cheeses of your choice, dried fruits, jam/ puree, two fresh fruits nuts, pickles and bread. The service is convenience and quite fair in price. You also have the opportunity to add desert: brownies, Goldie's or an array of pastries. A wide selection of beverages are available including wines, spritz's and coffees. The service is also available for catering and event planing on a larger scale. I can def see myself using this again for a girls event. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Great idea in theory (personalized charcuterie boxes in a location right next to Central Park), could improve on their execution. First to start with the good-- it's a cute shop, presentation for the boxes was great, decent variety of cheese/meats (and you're allowed to sample), prices aren't terrible. My main issue is their efficiency and organization (or rather, lack of). When we came in, I think there were like maybe 6 people ahead of us in line? But things move extremely slowly, it took over an hour to get to us. This was not helped by the fact that they allowed like 3 people to skip us in line (I'm assuming these were people who placed online orders, but I really wish they had a staff member dedicated to that). Even getting our crackers at the end (a matter of putting a handful of crackers in a paper bag) took almost 10 min for some reason. I think they also could've made more clear that you pay first before you make your boxes. Hopefully they improve on these issues; right now I doubt I'd return. read more

I would not recommend Bohemian Picnics (also known as Char-cute-erie) based on multiple firsthand experiences. I hired them to provide a grazing table for an event, and they arrived very late, which caused significant stress for my client. After the event, my team was unexpectedly asked to clean and transport their dirty dishes and serving equipment. We accommodated this once. When I hired them again, I was very clear in advance that my team could not transport their equipment due to storage closing times and that they would need to retrieve their own items themselves. They agreed to this before accepting the job. Despite this, after the event there was frustration that my team did not transport their items. A team member arrived approximately two hours after my team had already left (around 10pm) and later stated that some items were missing, even though the event end time and retrieval expectations had been clearly communicated and agreed upon beforehand. I also placed multiple orders for their smaller charcuterie boxes, and there were recurring issues, including missing items and missed orders. On one occasion, heavy boards were packaged in very thin bags that tore immediately. Replacement bags were provided, but those also failed, causing the food to spill. When an order was incorrect due to their error and I did not have time to return, I asked if they could deliver to the park across the street to correct the mistake, and they declined, which added unnecessary stress during an active event. At one outdoor event, my client was also upset by the number of flies around the food. No fly fans or food covers were provided. We raised the issue with the setup person onsite but were not offered a solution. As a result, my team had to improvise by keeping trash bags over the food to protect it, which was not an acceptable presentation for a paid grazing table. After leaving an honest review reflecting these experiences, I was contacted directly by the owner in a way I found unprofessional rather than constructive. Overall, my experience showed a pattern of poor communication, lack of accountability, and unprofessional handling of issues. Based on my experience, I would not work with or recommend this company. read more

Do not pass this up if you're headed to Central Park! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. From the moment we walked in, the 2 employees were super friendly and attentive. Once you choose the board or box that you want, they give you options on meat, cheese, fresh fruit, dry fruit/nuts, veggies, and a choice of jam. The kind guy building our box was so meticulous folding all the meat and arranging all of the ingredients so that our box was not only completely full, but also aesthetically pleasing. I loved all the detail down to sorting through the edible flowers in a container to choose the prettiest one to top our fig jam with. He was also kind enough to let us use the employee only bathroom to wash our hands and also gave us a map of all the best spots at the park to sit and have a picnic. Everything in our box was fresh and delicious and plenty for the 2 of us. They don't skimp like other charcuterie places. The shop itself is truly a one stop shop. They have everything you may need like picnic basket rentals, bottles of sparkling wine, baked goods, extra snacks/candy and they also have a drink station where you can order refreshers and iced coffee. We did not try them on this occasion but they also make mini sandwiches that look adorable. 10/10 recommend and will be back for sure during my next NYC trip! read more

Service is slow. Mocha tastes like just milk. Do not recommend. If i wanted milk I would've gone to the grocery store. I wish I had a Time Machine so I could go back in time and never walk into this place. I guess I'm the fool for getting coffee at a charcuterie spot. read more

Pastries are horrible(frozen product)plus the display cage was filled with small insects. The cured meats are badly kept,right in contact with the air,no lids on,that makes them dry and surely any kind of trash can contaminated them. Not the way to handle such a product. Terrible presentation. Terrible! read more

We're visiting NYC and came across this little place for a picnic in Central Park. The staff was very helpful and we can create our own charcuterie board. Upon asking where would they recommend to picnic within Central Park, they provided a brochure with locations and a map. Definitely recommend this location if you're visiting NYC. read more
